Jeanne, who has set her sights on Father Shirou, does not know that the priest named Shirou is also watching them.
Of course, considering the perception ability of the servant, Shirou did not simply rely on Semiramis's pigeons this time, he also used a lot of high-tech equipment. Like the lion robbery, Father Shirou is not like the traditional magician who rejects technological creations.
Now, Shirou, who is in the "Hanging Garden of Vanity", is monitoring Jeanne's every move through the camera. The Hanging Garden, a purely mysterious creation, is naturally not pre-connected to modern display equipment. However, as long as the shared vision of the familiar pigeon is used to present the image of the surveillance screen set up in a secret room in Sighisoara, ultra-long-distance surveillance can also be achieved.
"He actually came back, and hid it from me. Your worries have come true, Master."
Semiramis sat lazily on the throne, one hand on the armrest of the throne and the back of the other hand supporting his chin.
"... "
Shirou, who was standing on the side of the throne, stared at the screen intently and did not answer.
Semiramis didn't care and continued, "I didn't expect the ruler to be so wise. It seems we need to re-evaluate this judge."
"... "
Shirou remained silent.
This anomaly finally caught Semiramis's attention, and she raised her voice slightly: "Master? Master?"
Shirou finally woke up from his dream and cried out "Ah".
"What's wrong with you, master? You haven't spoken since a while ago." Semiramis asked.
"Nothing, I was just lost in thought. What did you say?"
"I just said that we need to re-examine Ruler. Her wisdom deserves attention."
"It should indeed be reconsidered." Shirou nodded first, then shook his head, "but this should not be her strategy this time."
"If it's not her? Then who is it? The Black Lancer who looks like her?"
"No, it's someone who is hiding behind the scenes like us."
"Same as us?" Semiramis shook off the laziness on her face and became interested. "I am really curious."
"You will see it sooner or later, and it won't be too far away." Shirou kept it a secret.
"Then I'll wait and see. Anyway, since you said that, I think you have seen through this strategy."
"Of course, I think you can see that." Shirou smiled, "After all, this is not a very clever strategy."
"Well, I understand the method, but the motive is... so I want to hear your analysis."
"Then let's start from the beginning. First of all, it is certain that this person reached some kind of agreement with the ruler without our knowledge, and even without the knowledge of the black side. Although the specific content is unclear, the ruler has a high degree of trust in him, otherwise he would not have followed his arrangements."
"What is the purpose of the plan?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's to collect our intelligence. This is also the reason why Black Lancer fought with Red Saber, and later joined forces to fight against the Thousand World Tree Clan, and why Ruler took the child to rescue Lion Jie."
"It seems that the Red Lancer's attack has made Ruler feel threatened."
Semiramis was a conspirator after all, and he could deduce a lot from just a few hints.
"The Black side is all concentrated in the Mirenia Fortress. As long as the ruler is willing, he can quickly eliminate the Black side's suspicion. Next, it will be our turn to hide outside Tulifas."
"That's right. The closest place to Tulifas and the most suitable place to base is Sighisoara. Ruler will definitely come to check it out, but we have all moved here, so she can't possibly find out. What would you think if it were you?"
"I would think that they are deliberately avoiding me. There must be something wrong."
"And what would you do?"
"Lure the snake out of its hole!" Semiramis' eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Bingo!" Shirou snapped his fingers. "The six black servants are defending Mirenia Castle. Now that we have lost our Berserker, the best bait is the seventh Black Lancer. Whether you want to win over Black Lancer or get rid of her, we will not remain indifferent."
"As long as we send out our servants, the ruler can collect our information and achieve our goal. This is the cleverness of the person who designed this plan. I will not give up on the lone Black Lancer."
"The powerful strength shown by Black Lancer ensures that she can escape even if she cannot defeat our vanguard. I think Achilles' pride is also within his expectations. As long as she does not fight against Achilles and Karna at the same time, she will not be in danger. After Black Lancer escapes, Ruler can ask us for information. Servants are not puppets. As long as Ruler communicates sincerely, it is not difficult to get information that the Red Master has not shown his face except for me and Shishi Jiejieli, and even his own servants have never seen the Master's true face. So, I became the focus of the problem."
"Then use your ruler privilege to order them to bring her to you, and your plan will be over. Oh, oh, think about it, that would be quite interesting." Having said that, Semiramis couldn't help but reveal a charming smile of gloating.
"Unfortunately, they underestimated my caution." Shirou's expression remained unchanged. "I didn't rush to send out the servants who knew where the garden was. Instead, I let Shishi Jie, who was acting alone, take the lead. Although he could get information about my problems, as long as he couldn't find me, it wouldn't affect the plan. What a pity, we were just one step behind."
"What about the black side?" Semiramis asked the last question in his mind.
"Who knows? Maybe he wants to kill Lion Jie to expand his victory, or maybe he has something to do with Black Lancer."
"Is there anything else you don't know?" Semiramis asked half-jokingly.
Shirou looked helpless: "Please, although I know a little more than most people, I don't know everything. For example, I can't guess what that guy and the black team will do next, how long it will take the ruler to find us. But it doesn't matter if I can't guess, just let them follow our plan."
"What are you going to do?"
"Tell Rider and Archer that tonight's operation is canceled."
As Shirou said, Lion Jie and Mordred were just the vanguards, and he also arranged for Achilles and Atalanta, who had the highest mobility, to be on standby to support Mordred at any time. Now that Ruler appeared, they were naturally useless.
"When they come back, have everyone gather here."
"Have you finally made up your mind?" Semiramis waved his hand to disperse the image in front of him and stood up from the throne.
"Yes." Shirou stepped forward and stood side by side with Semiramis, "Your garden is finished, and 'that' is almost finished as well. It's time to launch a general attack on the black side!"
