The next day, when the leaden clouds gradually became brighter and the harsh hurricane in the desert slowly subsided, Ryunosuke called on everyone to pack their bags and prepare to set off.
Although West Traveler was quite surprised that such a large castle and the things inside could be stored together, he did not take the initiative to ask, and Ryunosuke was happy not to explain.
If anything, Mashu's current Noble Phantasm is a "city-level Noble Phantasm", yes, it is "city-level" and not "anti-city level". [The ideal city that is far away] is used to defend or summon a castle.
It is a normal operation. If you don't want that castle, you can throw it out and hit people. After smashing it, you can also take in another castle that you have the right to own - Geronimo expressed strong dissatisfaction with this.
"Where to go first? Of course, to find 'Ramses II'."
When Ryunosuke asked Westwarder for advice on future action plans, she immediately answered without hesitation.
"Hmm? It's not impossible, but what's the reason? Because he has an eclectic style of doing things?" Ryunosuke thought for a moment and then answered.
In fact, with the current conditions of my small team, the recruitment conditions of the three forces are all met. The only thing that needs to be decided is "who is the ally and who is the enemy". Before the final decision, you can consider
Investigate all three locations.
“His name has ‘西’ in it, and it’s next to ‘西’, and the poor monk is called ‘西’行者.” Xiwangzhe bared his teeth and smiled.
"..."
These three "西" characters in completely different languages were all the fault of a certain translation machine. Ryuzosuke glanced at Yade and found that it was turning into a dagger and hiding in Lin Hao's waist, pretending to be dead.
However, putting aside this nonsensical reason, Ryunosuke had a reason not to go to "Camelot" first - because it was not clear whether "Artoria Pendragon" was a sword-level or a
What is Gun Rank's attitude towards "King Arthur from another world"? This can be asked indirectly by visiting the other two forces.
"Brother, you can go to the Mountain Master," Lin Hao said while holding the bone kitten mask on his forehead: "[Grandpa] is very kind."
Why does it feel like I have to recognize a lot of relatives in this world... Ryunosuke was a little speechless.
Obviously, this is the information provided by the servant incarnation. Judging from this title, she should not be a nobody there.
"[Obviously, because 'that King Arthur' has gone too far, the 'Alaya' of this world has become a living doctor.]" Yade couldn't help but speak out again: "[Forcibly put the two people together.
Places to go and reasons are presented to you one after another.】"
"If that's the case, there will be one less reason for me not to go there." After hearing this, Ryunosuke felt a little incredible that "Alaya" would pay attention to him, but he still responded like a bargain.
road.
"[This is--]"
Buzz——!
Before Yad finished speaking, a pillar of light suddenly rose in the extreme east direction and pierced the sky. Its power even tore a gap in the thick lead clouds, revealing the dim sunlight.
The next moment, a huge spear of light that made people's eyes sting just by looking at it slanted down from the gap in the clouds, and then a huge white mushroom cloud rose at the approximate landing point.
Boom boom boom!!
It wasn't until a few minutes later that Ryunosuke and the others, who had been shaken by the vibrations on the ground, heard the huge explosion and roar.
"[Look, the reason why you want it.]" Yad said, swinging back and forth.
[Rhongomyniad], it is a spear level, but its power is a bit too much, and why is she aiming at the open space?
Ryunosuke looked at the gap that penetrated the clouds and found that it was closing and closing at an extremely high speed.
"[As for the target of this Noble Phantasm...]" Yard projected the map again and enlarged the map close to "Camelot" in the east.
As the angle of view gradually narrowed, Ryunosuke could vaguely see scattered potholes on the next door. When he could clearly see the surrounding trees and rocks and other reference objects, he was horrified to find that the smallest of the big potholes was also
It is as big as the castle that Matthew made before.
When the screen continued to zoom in to the "freshest" big hole, Ryunosuke could see that a bone mask of the same style as Lin Hao, but larger, full of cracks, and almost completely shattered, fell on it.
its edge.
Ryuzosuke glanced at Lin Hao and found that her eyes widened at first, and then she covered her head in fear...the mask on one side.
Well, my childhood sweetheart seems to have learned a lot of cute tricks.
Squeak - snap!
The next moment, this scene suddenly disappeared as if there was a power outage.
"[Ah, I don't know who knocked out the satellite.]" Yad said in annoyance.
It’s amazing that satellites from a thousand years ago are still usable...
"That should be a certain Hassan under the 'Old Man of the Mountain'," Ryuzosuke shook his head: "We have the incarnation of Xiao Hao here, so there should be no problem in going there, but now we still go to Ramses II.
It’s better to try your luck.”
"The poor monk agrees very much." Westwarder nodded.
——[The meteor shoots into the sky again, shocking the world]——
The location where Ryunosuke first arrived in this world was a desolate land that combined mountains, Gobi and deserts. There were no living creatures around, whether they were the so-called [Ali Hundred Species] or [Old Humans]. Occasionally, they could be seen on the roadside.
There are stone buildings or metal waste that retain a certain shape, but their original use cannot be determined.
The so-called "road" refers to the ground that is relatively flat, has less gravel, and is convenient for vehicles to travel. That is, the range that intelligent creatures are likely to regard as a road - but unfortunately, Ryunosuke and others did not find any along the way.
Traces of the passage of other intelligent species.
Until a group of people arrived at the edge of the desert in the west and looked around at the place where there was nothing except the undulating sand dunes, Ryunosuke could not find any large items that could be transformed into vehicles using "Magic Release" or that could be tamed as mounts.
animal.
Transform Matthew's castle into a mobile fortress? Even if this can be achieved, time and mana consumption are also problems, not to mention who can drive such a big thing?
"[How about we go back and find some larger scrap metal and splice it together for the time being?]" Yade continued with the bad idea: "[Anyway, it only needs to last until the pyramid of Ramses II.]"
"I think we can consider turning around - wait?" Ryunosuke was halfway through his words when he suddenly saw several large fish made entirely of sand leaping into the air on the sand dunes in front of him. They were like dolphins emerging from the water.
A parabola was drawn in the air, and when it landed on the sand dunes, it splashed a burst of "sand flowers" and disappeared like a dolphin in the sea.
"[Oh, that is the 'sharp', one of the hundred species of Yali. It is a low-grade silicon-based creature that appears due to the influence of radiation. Because the body is ordinary sand, it cannot be eaten and has no other use value, so there is no
Which species would specifically target it, so it is very bold.]" Yade said.
"Haha, then this kind of history ends here, because someone who can transform it has arrived." Ryuzhijie squeaked his knuckles and walked towards the shark group.
————
"Senior, the speed is too fast——"
Matthew stood on the back of a shark and moved forward quickly. It looked like she was surfing in the sea of sand. She held her giant shield in front of her to barely block the wind, but she still couldn't open her eyes to see the road, and she had a shield hanging around her waist.
The German Lin Hao simply hid behind Ma Xiu and crouched down with his head in his hands.
"The poor monk feels that this speed is not bad," West Traveler was standing leisurely on the back of a shark. He only moved his steps back and forth, left and right, and the shark under his feet moved left and right and jumped forward and backward like the instructions of his arms.
"I saw the pyramid, do I want to fish in advance as a sign of courtesy?" Ryuzosuke held the golden sword upside down in one hand, built a pergola with the other and looked to the southwest.
At the end of the sand horizon directly ahead, a huge pyramid was revealed. As Ryunosuke and others approached, many oases, gardens, and smaller pyramids around it also emerged.
Looking from a distance, over this desert oasis city, the low lead-gray clouds were completely dispersed, revealing the blue sky and bright sunshine. If it was not a mirage, there was no doubt that Ramses II had mastered it.
The ability to materialize what is inside the "inherent barrier".
"If you want to do that, you have to at least reach the edge of the oasis. Otherwise, if we are walking there when we are so far away? That would be too much etiquette." Matthew said seriously.
I feel like Chaldea is a bit biased in terms of knowledge and education... Ryuzosuke looked at Mashu and nodded in agreement.
——[In a moment of right or wrong, there is no need to wait for a lifetime to be loyal to others]——
In the end, Ryunosuke's plan was not implemented in time, because the group of them was stopped some distance away from the pyramid.
It was a strange sand statue that looked very similar to a "sharp", with a lion's body, a human face, and a pair of huge wings on its back.
It looks to be at least ten stories high and more than fifty meters long. At first glance, it looks like an apartment building that can move on its own.
When Ryunosuke approached the oasis, it jumped out from under the sand with bursts of gushing "sand springs", stopped in front of Ryunosuke and others, and roared with a terrifying voice: "I
It’s Babas—poof, I’m the [Sphinx]! You must answer my questions to enter the city, otherwise you will be eaten by me!”
With this huge roar, Ryuunosuke and others were okay, but the sharks that were riding on them scattered like birds and beasts like mice seeing cats. One that couldn't escape turned into sand and scattered on the spot.
"What's the problem?" "Can I just kill you?"
Ryuzosuke turned to look at Westwarder, both of them looking at a loss.
"Fighting the powerful Sphinx directly is a very stupid choice," the Sphinx said following Westwarder's question: "Even if my current body is destroyed, I will soon be reborn in the sea of sand, [
Everything that can kill me can make me stronger!"
This guy's famous quotes after he changed his mind actually revealed a bit of heroic aura that looked down on life and death...
"Please ask a question." Ryunosuke looked at several of his companions, and after confirming that none of them wanted to fight directly, he said to the giant sand sculpture.
"Please listen to the question." The Sphinx paused, as if checking the question, and then said: "Please state in order 'the official name of the place where the Westward Travelers usually stay', 'the antonym of strong', and 'the antonym of small'"
'."
What kind of strange question is this? I was already ready to answer "people". Ryunosuke glanced at the Westwarder next to him who also didn't understand, and turned to the Sphinx and said:
"Buddhist temple, weak, big."
【Fusrodah!】
Just when Ryunosuke said this incomprehensible answer, an extremely strong hurricane blew up in front of him, blowing the originally unusually large sand statue of the Sphinx into pieces and finally disappearing, even causing a burst of
A violent vortex of sand and dust.
This vortex of sand and dust hit the junction of the desert and the "mirage", where it was reshaped into a sand door with a rather ancient Egyptian style. Then, the entire door rumbled and sank on its own, creating a perfect space for Ryunosuke and others.
The passage leading to this desert oasis city appeared.
"What just happened?" Matthew, who was obviously ready to fight, looked at everything in surprise.
"Although Ramesses II will not reject any comer from the old humans and Ali, he must at least show one of the powers or wisdom - defeating the Sphinx or guessing its riddle. As for now, it is very difficult to
Obviously," Ryunosuke shrugged, "we were escorted."
————
"Well... I think there is a reason why Alaya in this world has declined so much." After walking into the desert oasis city, a brown-skinned woman in tropical attire came to guide them. Ryunosuke watched as he
The so-called "Ali Hundred Species" who came and went commented: "Humans are no longer dominant."
An old human wearing a dark blue uniform, a wild boar that walks upright and wearing engineering glasses, a big man with a crocodile face, a human-faced bird with claws on its hands and feet that can fly in the air, a giant crab that walks sideways waving a pair of large pincers, and keeps rolling.
The slime whose head, face and body cannot be distinguished is a giant mushroom with a smiling face and a faceless vegetative body made entirely of vines.
These "Ali Hundred Species" with different species live harmoniously in this city.
In this regard, Westwarder's words can be summed up as: "There are so many monsters!"
"[Although the number of human beings is too small and the living space is squeezed out, because the types of these creatures are too complex and the time of their birth is also very short, their 'Alaya' has not yet been born, so they are naturally hostile to the 'old times' of humans.
The ruler was in awe, so Alaya could barely survive and tried to summon servants to solve the situation.]" Yad whispered.
"In that case, since we are here on our own, the one who can solve this situation is the 'Westward Traveler'?" Ryunosuke followed the leader walking inside the huge golden pagoda: "I don't see anything special about her——
"
The next moment, Westwarder's surprised voice came from the pyramid throne in front: "Is that you, Wukong?!"
