Chapter 817 Archer-The Appearance of Tristan (1 update, 4K)
Lucius has secrets and is burdened with many things.
Leonardo da Vinci had discovered it.
However, this omnipotent man, the most famous genius in history, did not say anything.
Just like everyone has their own secrets, as long as he has no ill intentions towards himself, Leonardo da Vinci will not get to the bottom of it.
Obviously, Lucius has no ill intentions towards Fujimaru Tachibana and the others.
Firstly, the gentle attitude and goodwill shown by Lucius are very clear, and secondly, as the person introduced by the Sun King, it also represents the credibility of the Sun King to a certain extent.
With the character of the proud King of Kings, it is absolutely impossible for him to cause trouble in this kind of thing. Moreover, the Sun King's goodwill towards Fujimaru Tachibana is not fake. He really hopes that Fujimaru Tachibana will grow up and achieve certain goals.
Purpose.
Although Da Vinci didn't know what he was going to do, he wouldn't say anything unreasonable until the truth was revealed, not to mention that some things really need to be done before they can be known.
Then, at this time, a group of figures appeared in the distance. Fujimaru Tachibana and the others noticed it, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Fujimaru Tachibana said in surprise: "It's a human! There is a living person!"
In this barren and scorched land of death, seeing living people is undoubtedly a kind of physical and mental healing.
At least that's the case for Fujimaru Tachibana.
However, at this moment, Mashu and Lucius both consciously stood in front of Fujimaru Tachibana, showing signs of alertness.
This made Fujimaru Tachibana stunned: "What's wrong?"
Matthew looked gloomy: "Master, those people... are not normal."
Fujimaru Tachibana: "?"
There was no need for Mashu to answer later. The group of people had already discovered Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, and immediately ran over excitedly.
Moreover, each of them was much faster than normal people, and their movements were distorted, and many of them were like strange walking species running over on all fours.
That posture doesn't look like a normal human being.
This is indeed the case. When you get closer, you can see that each of these people has gray skin, black smoke coming out of their bodies, and is thin and skinny. Their limbs are somewhat twisted and slender, their pores are blood red, the whites of their eyes are bloodshot, and their fingernails are broken and sharp.
long.
No matter how you look at it, they are all a group of mutated monsters.
Moreover, some of them showed excited smiles and said: "Living people! Living people! Food! Food! Eat, eat, eat!"
"Hehehehe~~flesh, flesh, flesh, flesh~blood, blood, blood! Satisfied! Full of food!"
"Ahhhh~~~I want to eat! Get out of the way! I want to eat~~~"
"Hehehe~~~"
Distorted and ferocious laughter, distorted, crazy, and irrational voices came from the mouths of these monsters, showing the fact that these monsters are not like humans at all.
All of these guys have red eyes, drooling water, and are extremely ferocious. In the cracked mouths, you can see that the teeth of normal people are gone, replaced by a mouthful of bloody fangs, and even the mouths are cracked almost to the base of the ears.
s position.
That twisted posture seems to be to compete for a bite of food better and faster in such a hunt.
There is no doubt that these guys can no longer be called human beings.
In fact, these words have already made their attitude clear. They are all people who have eaten people!
In an instant, many people in the real world even thought of the human corpses on this land.
Except for some of the burnt corpses, the other corpses had completely disappeared of flesh and blood.
I thought it was the work of local wild beasts and scavengers, but now it seems that what really left those corpses with only bones was 'human beings'.
Many people vomited on the spot when they thought of this.
Even though there have been many bloody scenes and disgusting scenes in the light screen images, this is the first time that this kind of scene directly implies cannibalism.
Although there is no specific situation, the ability of people's imagination is enough to scare people to death.
Of course, many people have already thought of this possibility. After all, human cannibalism is not uncommon throughout human history.
When disasters and famine become long-lasting things, human beings will no longer be human.
Survival is the only pursuit.

In the light screen image, Da Vinci, standing next to Fujimaru Tachibana, said: "Those people... are all people who have eaten people."
Fujimaru Tachibana suddenly turned his head, and Tong Kong was shocked. This was really the first time she had seen this situation: "Have you ever eaten... a... human... person?"
Da Vinci nodded, the smile disappeared from his face, and he said very seriously: "Yes, a person who has eaten people."
"This is the greatest curse, the greatest evil."
"It would be okay if there is no magic power. This land, as a special point of alienation, has a very high magic power content in the air, especially in this scorched earth."
"Ritsuka, the people you saw were inevitably cursed after eating people, and mutated into monsters under the influence of magic."
"They are hopeless. They can no longer be called human beings. They are just a group of cannibals who long for human flesh and blood and have lost their souls."
"It would be better to say that those guys have transformed into 'ghouls' who have an endless desire for human flesh and blood!"
"Ritsuka, they are hopeless. In fact, there is no human reason at all. These guys who turned into corpses will only continue to attack living people. Even if their hands and feet are broken, they will not stop.
of."
The last words were spoken in a very cautious tone, and they were directly referred to as ‘them’ instead of ‘them’.
Moreover, the voice also revealed helplessness. It was obvious that he was acting like this because he was really hopeless. Under the influence of the high-concentration magical environment here, it was no longer just as simple as eating people.
Fujimaru Tachibana fell silent. She pursed her lips and then showed a firm look: "Mashu, Saber, please, deal with these 'people'!"
Matthew: "Yes, Master!"
Lucius did not answer, because he directly took out the knight's sword from his waist with his left hand and rushed out.
With A+ level agility, it turned into a silver stream of light and almost instantly reached the cannibal who rushed to the front.
Then, there is A-level strength and A+-level agility, plus the endless slaughter of superb knight sword skills.
Lucius showed no mercy to these inhuman corpses. His attacks were swift and powerful, cutting off several enemies at various angles in a matter of seconds.
Moreover, Lucius' knightly sword skills are not for one-on-one duels, but are obviously used on the battlefield. They are simple and practical, without any sense of glamor or routine. They are simply how to kill the enemy conveniently.
How come.
That powerful strength directly makes it display an 'unparalleled' effect.
The powerful performance made Mashu look in amazement, and then he rushed into the pile of ghouls resolutely, and slapped each of the ghouls away with a huge shield.
Every corpse that was shot away, even if it didn't die, had its bones shattered and its internal organs destroyed.
Although these cannibals have become much stronger than normal people under the influence of curses and magic, and the physical fitness of each one has exceeded the limits of normal humans, they are still too weak in front of the servants.
The battle between the two servants against the ghoul was completely "unparalleled in heroic spirit".
However, this kind of complete crushing game will not bring any spiritual joy to everyone.
After all, this incident itself is inherently bad.
In fact, when Fujimaru Tachibana and Mashu saw this scene in the real world, they both felt heavy.
At this moment, the girls have clearly realized how bad this singularity is.
Before, I had only seen the prosperity and peace of the territory under the rule of the Sun King, and I was used to the ancient country with a strong ancient Egyptian style.
Although it is not considered wealthy compared to modern society, there is no need to worry about famine and disasters. For ancient people, it was undoubtedly a beautiful and peaceful life in the prosperous age.
As Nitocris said, the territory under the Sun King is a paradise and an ideal hometown.
At least, that's the case compared to the singularity itself.
I can only say that some things are really harmful only when there is comparison.
Moreover, the magical environment has a much greater impact on humans than expected.
Cannibalism is illegal in modern society and goes against basic human ethics. The biggest impact on cannibals is actually the fact that prions prohibit cannibalism and are incorporated into the DNA's 'safety lock'.
But in a magical environment, cannibals will be "cursed" if they cannibalize people, and in a high-concentration magic environment, cannibals will directly undergo alienation and mutation, and be completely "expelled".
In a sense, it is similar to mystery.
Certain mysteries have the ability to corrode living people. Under the influence of the special powers of the mysteries, living people will turn into twisted monsters.
For example, the 'ghosts' that first appeared were twisted monsters born in this way.
————
In the light screen image, all the ghouls were dealt with and completely killed.
There are more than thirty animals in total, not a single one is left.
In fact, Fujimaru Tachibana didn't think about negotiating with these guys. With the idea that "maybe there is rationality", after solving most of them, he tried to negotiate.
However, all failed. These guys were irrational and didn't even know what fear was. They completely turned into monsters with an endless thirst for human flesh and blood.
Even when these monsters are eliminated, their corpses will not be left behind.
The corpses that were already emitting black smoke turned into black ash and disappeared.
Faced with this situation, Da Vinci said: "Actually, things like ghouls cannot come out during the day and will be harmed by sunlight."
"However, the sun in this singularity is not actually the real sun. It is the projection of the sun from the singularity that allows the ghouls to escape even during the day."
"However, even so, you will still be affected. The black smoke coming out of your body is a curse, and it is also the damage caused by the false sun."
"This kind of damage will accelerate the loss of the ghouls' minds and increase their thirst for flesh and blood."
"That's why the ghouls we encountered were unable to communicate to any degree, and their disappearance into ashes after death was also the final outcome of the ghouls under the sun's rays."
"After losing its life, the corpse of the ghoul will completely turn into the cursed magic and dissipate."
"Let's go! Ritsuka, it's actually not good to stay here any longer. We have to move on."
"...Hmm." Fujimaru Tachibana responded with a complicated mood, and then got back on the desert vehicle.
Under the control of Da Vinci, the car continued to move forward on the burning land, and more corpses could be seen along the way.
And as we advance, we can hardly see the charred corpses, but more of the bones whose flesh and blood have been devoured.
The light screen image also showed some close-ups, one of which showed the bones of two people, one large and one small, hugging each other closely.
Obviously, even when he died, the adult was still trying his best to protect the child in his arms.
But, it's of no use.
Seeing this, Fujimaru Tachibana couldn't bear to look away, with a very uncomfortable expression on his face.
Even though we witnessed a lot in the First Honkai Impact, including even the tragic scenes of the Kingdom of Wind being destroyed, it was still a struggle between humans and monsters, and it was the determination of humans to survive.
However, the disasters seen here are scenes of people killing each other and even devouring each other. It is the most sad story that is difficult to accept.
Such a scene was unacceptable to Fujimaru Tachibana.
At this time, Fufumon jumped on Fujimaru Tachibana's shoulder. This cute and intelligent little beast seemed to be able to sense the changes in other people's moods. It actually stretched out its cute little tongue and licked Fujimaru Tachibana's face.
And makes a cute fufu sound.
This situation, like magic, healed Fujimaru Tachibana's heart and made her feel much better. She also touched Fufumon's little head with a faint smile.
What follows is an even firmer will. This last master of mankind, who is not lacking in determination, will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.
She must save this place!
Then, the people who crossed the scorched earth and desolate land re-entered the desert hilly area, and in the distance, the central tower belonging to the Chalk City of the Lion King could already be seen.
At this time, another group of people appeared on the screen.
That's a group of refugees.
Refugees who are not ghouls are real living people!
Although he is as skinny as a stick and looks haggard, he is indeed a living person.
Moreover, there is also a figure in black tights that is familiar to people in the real world.
That man wore a skull mask on his face and held a weapon. He was none other than Hassan, and he should be one of the hundreds of Hassan's.
Hassan has more than a hundred faces, each one is a clone, and each one can be the main body. It is a very useful Assassin.
However, the handsome Hassan looked a little nervous and looked around very warily, obviously protecting this group of refugees.
The direction that this group of refugees is heading is not to the chalk city in the east, but to the north.
Fujimaru Tachibana and the others were almost three kilometers away from the refugees, and they were only noticed by Lucius when they drove to a hilly highland in the desert.
Then, the car immediately stopped, and everyone looked over there to observe the situation from a distance. As a human, Fujimaru Tachibana used a telescope to see the situation.
However, the sound from over there was no longer heard.
When everyone was considering whether to go over and make contact, something unexpected happened.
A handsome knight wearing silver armor and long red hair appeared and stopped in front of the group of refugees.
In an instant, the refugees were extremely nervous and frightened, but they did not dare to run around. The handsome Hassan immediately ran to the front of the team and nervously faced the silver knight blocking the way.
Fujimaru Tachibana, who saw this scene from a distance, was stunned: "Those are refugees, right? Why do they want to stay away from the chalk city of the Lion King? If you want to take refuge, wouldn't it be more suitable to go there?"
"Wait, who is that knight? Why is he blocking the road?"
With such questions, Da Vinci dug around behind her back and took out her old-fashioned disc player-style remote listening device.
After Lucius saw the silver knight, he was slightly startled, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and then he couldn't help but reveal a hint of sadness.
This reaction continues to write the truth of "I have a story".
Then, Lucius slowly spoke: "That knight is one of the Knights of the Round Table, Tristan, who is known as the most beautiful knight."
"If nothing else, he should be a Servant who came here with the Archer class."
The voice was calm and the tone was sad, but it was an affirmative tone.
This is amazing.
It's easy to meet Tristan, but why can you recognize the rank at a glance?
Moreover, that tone clearly indicated that he had known this for a long time.
Even if you know the Knights of the Round Table, the reason is not so clear.
After all, most of the Knights of the Round Table are adaptable to multiple classes.
For example, Mordred is mainly a Saber, but she can also be summoned as a Rider.
Therefore, without being able to confirm, directly talking about the rank of a Knight of the Round Table is somewhat of a 'foresight'.
