As soon as he left the spirit transfer channel, Ryunosuke felt his breath suffocate, and then he saw the sky completely obscured by lead-gray clouds.
Before he could make any move, Matthew had already put his big shield on the ground and activated his Noble Phantasm to temporarily create a small castle and its accompanying walls.
A circle of light blue magic barriers instantly rose up on the wall that was as high as two people, and closed up into a complete protective shield in the sky, blocking out the smell of dust, rust and tar.
"I thought that after leaving London and the American continent, I wouldn't encounter a singularity full of this smell again, but here comes a three-in-one? Is this a modern era with heavy pollution?" Ryunosuke tried his best.
I snorted twice to drive the smell out of my nose, and then I laughed a little at myself. I went to a few special spots with good environment, and I was able to develop my sense of smell.
"You can't smell anything?" The projected Lin Hao shrugged his nose, seeming to be cute.
"Well... the current year is... 3273 AD?" Matthew's inquiry took a little long, but after she said the words, she was stunned. However, this proved that she was reading something scripted, not something
Keep the information in mind from the beginning.
"Could it be that he failed to restore the future of humanity?" Ryunosuke guessed casually.
"There is a possibility. If a heroic spirit that has the ability to create a singularity never uses it after acquiring that ability and waits until this era to use it, it will create a singularity that occurs in a time that does not exist.
, it cannot be detected during normal repair work." Matthew explained seriously.
"In this case..." Ryuzosuke looked at Yad: "Do you know what the situation is here now?"
"[Even if I am really a search engine, I can't know what has not happened yet," Yad complained: "[However, if you give me some time to collect information, I should be able to tell you more things.
]"
"Please." Ryunosuke took two steps back.
Sizzling——
The gray-white Yade's body once again surged with azure electricity, and began to float and slowly rotate.
Seeing it looking like it was about to short-circuit, Ryunosuke recalled his previous actions on the North American continent.
Obviously, he chose to help a third party: the decision of the "Indians" was not wrong. Not to mention the role Nightingale and Finn played in Lin Hao's recovery, he only talked about the advantages of this force-they could obtain
treat.
Unlike the situation where steam robots can only be repaired and Celtic servants cannot replenish their magic power and can only be summoned again, the Indians in our own camp who can be rescued by Nightingale and Finn as long as they do not die on the spot, in a sense
It has more troops than the other two forces.
As for high-end combat power, on the robot side there are two masters of electricity use, Edison and Tesla, while on the Celtic side there are Queen Maeve and the long-haired Queen Maeve who are somehow "Alterized" and are running around in ox carts.
Cu Chulainn must be blackened like a scorpion.
In comparison, the combined strength of Geronimo, Finn and Diarmuid on the Indian aboriginal side was somewhat inadequate. Nightingale did not obey orders at all, and ultimately had no choice but to use guerrilla warfare to kill their strength.
After spending a lot of time doing this, the originally unfavorable third-party force finally succeeded in the decisive battle between the two sides, and Ryunosuke's golden sword once again gained an extra star.
As for Lin Hao, the servant she became that time was naturally not Princess Granny, who was related to Finn and Diarmuid, but Scáthach, a creature from the "Land of Shadows" in Celtic mythology.
Queen, but somehow she was recognized by the two spearmen.
She seemed to be very angry that her Kingdom of Shadows was being misused, and that Cu Chulainn was turned black under the influence of Maeve, so when fighting with him, she gave up her incarnation and used the [Death-overflowed Demon Realm Gate]
(GateofSkye)], captured most of the Kingdom of Shadows and Cu Chulainn, who was as black as a scorpion, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to win so happily.
What? The army of robots over there? Because they met Finn, an expert in playing with water, most of them were scrapped. A few of the very strong robots were "demon-destroying" and "attached to an irreparable state" in Diarmuid.
Under double gun attack, it is no different from scrap metal.
While thinking about it, Ryuzosuke looked at Lin Haoyu who was standing aside, hoping that he would find someone easier to get along with this time.
Chi chi chi——
Yade stopped spinning and discharging, and then said: "[In 2273, a full-scale nuclear war broke out on the earth. The specific cause cannot be identified, but it eventually led to the complete destruction of human civilization.]"
"Eh? Does Alaya not care? And those magicians?" Before Ryunosuke complained about this background, Mashu asked worriedly.
"[Although there is no evidence, preliminary inference is that he must be too overwhelmed to take care of himself,]" Yad said while projecting a virtual image of the earth in the air: "[Petroleum, coal, rare metals, all the mineral deposits accumulated by the earth for five billion years are
After being mined, humans still could not leave their home planet to start the interstellar era of space, so they turned their attention to the wealth owned by their own compatriots.]"
"[If outsiders, or a small group of ambitious people, want to destroy humanity, 'Alaya' can certainly send out followers to stop it, but if humans fight among themselves and want to destroy themselves, what can he do? Even if a strong man cuts off his arm,
If you support one side to destroy the other, how can you ensure that half of humanity will not split into two factions fighting each other again? You know, the planet’s resources are completely exhausted.]”
"[As for magicians and other extraordinary creatures, their power comes from Alaya or the source itself. There are also a lot of people. Only a few truly strong people left the earth with their friends and disciples to find a new home.]"
"How could it be..." Mashu opened his eyes wide and was speechless for a moment. After all, he worked so hard to save humanity, only to find that all his efforts were in vain after hundreds of years was still very shocking.
Before Ryuzosuke could console him, Lin Hao spoke first: "But this is false, right? We are in a 'singularity'. You didn't take the 'history' of the previous singularities seriously. Why?"
Is this serious? Just because it's in the 'future'?"
"Senior..." Matthew seemed to understand a little bit, and his expression relaxed a little.
Well done, these words are more effective than what he originally said, "We are here to change this future." Ryuzosuke nodded secretly, turned to Yad and asked: "So, what is the situation at this point in time?
?”
"[Hmm...]" Yard paused and then said: "[The forces in this wasteland are currently divided into three groups——]"
Dang Dang Dang.
At this moment, the door of the temporary castle was knocked, and at the same time a young woman's voice came:
"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. It is getting late and I am passing by the temple. Can I stay for a night?"
This doesn't look like a pagoda!
——[Three pillars stand together, occupy the desert, and consider with determination]——
According to Ryunosuke's idea, it is business to find this human gathering place in the wasteland as soon as possible and investigate how this singularity was formed.
Instead of receiving some strange female monk.
Yes, female eminent monk.
The person who came to take pictures of the gate of this temporary fortress was a monk wearing snow-white robes, bright yellow cassocks, and an octagonal monk's hat. He held a gold-ringed tin staff in one hand and a luggage package in the other. He had an ordinary appearance but was quite grand. He still had a
A tall woman with waist-length hair.
Ryunosuke wanted to send her away by saying "Fu Zhai Monk", but as if to match her words "It's getting late", the dark clouds that were originally just low and gray quickly turned dark, and the breeze carrying the yellow dust also
It gradually became more violent, and even a strange beast roar could be heard from not too far away. Coupled with her gentle "if it's inconvenient, forget it" expression, he couldn't say no at all.
When returning to the castle, Ryunosuke found that Lin Hao's projection was gone, replaced by a figure of about ten years old, wearing a black night clothes, a small cloak on his shoulders, a red scarf around his neck, and a kitten mask on his forehead.
The dark-skinned little girl held a pair of gray-black daggers in her hands and tilted her head cutely towards Ryunosuke:
"Brother~who is she?"
"Yes, ex-brother."
Lin Hao could have called him brother...but Matthew, why are you joining in the fun?
"Her name is West Traveler, and she is a traveler. Go and find a guest room for this girl to rest." Ryuzosuke waved his hand and sent Mashu and West Traveler away together.
First of all, Ryuzosuke didn't want to lead the way and was going to stay and listen to Adelaide's scan of the world. Secondly, he didn't know the way. After all, this was a castle conjured by Matthew. It would be weird if he, as the master, didn't know the layout.
.
"Sister Xi, are you traveling alone? Aren't you afraid of the beasts on the road?"
"Are you talking about the giant mole, the poisonous sand scorpion or the death claw? They are more afraid of the poor monk, but the poor monk does not eat meat. I don't know where they are afraid."
After the voices of the two girls disappeared deep into the castle, Yade, who transformed into Lin Hao's pair of daggers, said: "[It turned out to be a servant of Caster. Although I really want to say that this is a good start, but from her
Judging from the real name, this journey may be very disastrous.】"
"Yeah, at least ninety-nine and eighty-one..." Ryuzosuke complained and continued to ask: "What about the results of your previous detection?"
As he asked, he glanced at Lin Hao. According to experience, she would obtain a servant incarnation at each singularity through her status as a "heroic spirit". It seemed that due to the problem of synchronization rate, most of the time she could not make herself
The will of others has become dominant, such as Jeanne d'Arc, Nero, and Ilia. However, because she wrested control from "The Heroic Spirit Lin Hao" last time, when she became Scathach, she had many times to control that person.
The aloof queen fell into a state of natural stupidity, and perhaps her final act of brazenly launching the "Shadow Gate" to wipe out Queen Maeve's combat power was not unrelated to this.
As if aware of Ryunosuke's gaze, Lin Hao, who was in the form of a little girl, said: "Brother, this incarnation is very strange. Although the synchronization rate between me and her is not high, she took the initiative to give up the dominance and hid.
In the corner of my mind, I feel like I’m used to it.”
Yes, the only thing he insists on is that he insists on calling himself "brother", and Lin Hao doesn't seem to notice it yet.
"I understand, but she must have her own reasons for doing this," Ryuzosuke nodded to express his understanding, and then turned his eyes to the pair of daggers: "Yade?"
"[Well, I said before that nuclear war destroyed 'civilization', but it did not destroy 'life'. After the radiation initially subsided, life on the surface has gradually adapted to it and evolved accordingly. Many of these groups have even been born.
With wisdom and language, they were named 'Ali Hundred Species' by humans.]" Yade re-projected the illusory earth, but this time, tiny but tenacious stars emerged from the originally gray and dead silence above.
In the light of the fire, they seemed to be wandering aimlessly.
"Human?" Ryunosuke raised an eyebrow.
"[Of course, if there are no humans in this world, then there will be no Alaya, and there will be no corresponding servants summoned,]" Yade added some more aqua-blue light spots on the illusory earth,
Unlike the wandering fire light, these "water lights" tend to expand outward in fixed places.
"[This is before the nuclear war. The human beings who hid in the shelter in advance are not much different from their quality a thousand years ago. They have even degraded due to living underground for a long time. They are gradually leaving their respective shelters to develop civilization again.
, but the steps are very small, after all, the industrial base no longer exists.】"
"Should we help them rebuild civilization? Isn't this too difficult?" Ryunosuke frowned as he looked at the territories that, although they looked like a lot, actually accounted for less than one percent of the earth's total area.
.
"[No, life will always find its own way. Our hasty assistance will only backfire. In fact, there is no reason why we appear in this position,]" Yade quickly enlarged the globe and projected the temporary building.
View near the castle.
The lower left side of the map is where Ryunosuke is currently located, a vast desert. The right side of the map gradually turns into a rocky beach and Gobi desert. A large area of lofty mountains appears above the map.
Although it is difficult to see clearly due to the large scale, there are buildings in the center of these three places that are incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Yade specially made arrow signs for them: "[These three forces belong to: No matter humans or Aristocratic species, as long as they have reason to communicate, they will accept 'Rameses II'.
We will not refuse, we will not accept the 'Old Man of the Mountain' who is a hundred types of Ari, but we will not specifically target him, and we will only accept 'Artoria Pendragon', a human who possesses magical power and can summon servants.】"
"..." Ryunosuke was silent for a long time and looked at his golden sword: "So our mission is to defeat that inexplicable King Arthur?"
"[No, in fact, either side can do it. As long as the current stable state of the three-legged confrontation collapses, 'King Arthur's' Camelot will defeat the remaining other side with overwhelming force.]" Yade deliberately smirked:
"[Hehe, then, how do you choose, 'Ya~Se~'?"
...Now we know why Gray likes to beat and scold it.
