Since the suppression force never showed any signs and the system pretended to be dead as always, Lu Xiao could only temporarily follow Merlin and Arturia back to the Inner Sea of Stars.
At Merlin's strong request, the three of them passed through the time and space tunnel without passing through the Fairy Lake and returned directly to the familiar Avalon Tower.
"Artoria! You are finally back!"
Before she could clearly see the scene in front of her, a woman who was 80% similar to Arturia immediately rushed towards her.
After the battle, the magic armor on Arturia had dissipated, and Lu Xiao and Merlin had the opportunity to enjoy a Star Wars game... cough.
Needless to say, the person standing in the Tower of Avalon to greet him was Morgan, who was hiding in the Inner Sea of Stars and refused to leave.
Anyway, his appearance has been exposed, and Morgan simply no longer wears the black veil.
Except for her light platinum blonde hair, her appearance and figure are almost the same as Arturia's, but her temperament is more like a mature woman than Arturia's.
Ignoring the back-and-forth game between the two sisters, Lu Xiao first tried to find the coordinates obtained from the Holy Grail.
"I found it. Although the coordinates of that special space have fluctuated, I can barely capture it."
Merlin threw the staff into a corner of the tower and lazily found a chair to sit down on.
"Are you still planning to help Chaldea participate in the final battle?"
Lu Xiao shrugged helplessly: "This is the agreement between me and Inhibition. The contract will last until the Magic King Solomon is defeated and humanity is restored."
"Magic King Solomon?"
Merlin smiled meaningfully: "There are no outsiders here, so let's talk openly and honestly."
"Do you really think it was Solomon himself who planned the incineration?"
Lu Xiao simply shook his head: "I don't think so, but since he wants to act like this, I don't mind cooperating with him and pretending until the end."
Merlin lazily closed his eyes and leaned on the recliner: "Since you already know the inside story, I won't say anything more. I wish you a smooth trip in advance."
"Ha~ I've been active for a long time after many years. I want to take a good rest and regenerate my energy. You can do whatever you want."
Lu Xiao complained speechlessly: "Your body has been away from Avalon for less than a day. How low is the upper limit of your activity energy?"
"Hulu~"
Merlin started to snore very fakely, making it clear that he didn't want to talk anymore.
Arturia on the other side was rejecting Sister Wang's hug with disgust, and the two very similar pretty faces were quite pleasing to the eye.
"Um?!"
Morgan seemed to suddenly feel something, and stopped his idiotic behavior, twitching his nose to smell Arturia's neck and face.
Arturia couldn't stand the itch, so she pushed Morgan away and asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"
"It smells like a man!"
The stupid hair on Morgan's head stood up straight like an antenna, and her expression became sinister: "I can't smell it wrong. This strange magical smell is definitely not yours!"
‘Hmm~’
Lu Xiao originally planned to rest in Avalon Tower for a while, but it seems that the plan may not go so smoothly.
'Forget it, let's run away first.'
Gemstone Weng's notes have improved Lu Xiao's space magic a lot, and now he no longer needs to borrow the passage from Fairy Lake to leave the Star Inner Sea.
Using the traces left by Fujimaru and Mash, Lu Xiao quietly opened the time and space channel to Chaldea in 2017, and stepped in without waiting for Morgan to react.
"Don't run! You sneaky cat! How dare you taint my Arturia! I will never let you go easily!"
Lu Xiao, who had entered the time and space channel, pretended not to hear Morgan's angry roar and leisurely picked out his ears with his little finger.
"I didn't hear anything. It was probably just the mosquitoes in Avalon, right?"
…
Chaldea was prepared by the former director Marisbili Animsfia and is a magic observatory and research institution built on the Antarctic continent.
Under the call of the former director's ideas, Chaldea recruits talents from both the secular and magic circles, brings together outstanding scholars in various fields, and even has direct contact with the United Nations.
In 2016, Chaldea experienced drastic changes. A large number of staff, including the new director Olga Marie and the elites of Group A, were attacked by the crowned bomber Leif Lenore, causing Chaldea to suffer heavy losses.
The head of the medical department, Romani Achiman, was forced to take over the important task when there was no leader. He cooperated with Fujimaru Ritsuka, the last master with the ability to transfer souls, and after numerous difficulties and obstacles, he finally repaired all seven
Singularity.
However, as long as the mastermind behind the scenes is not defeated for a moment, the crisis hanging over human history will never go away.
After recovering the Holy Grail of the seventh singularity, Chaldea finally obtained the exact coordinates leading to the Crowned Time Temple.
The staff are working overtime, striving to calculate the most stable method of spirit transfer as soon as possible.
Fujimaru Ritsuka is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have a solid body like Lu Xiao who can run rampant in an unstable space channel. If there is a slight deviation, he may be annihilated halfway to his destination.
"Beep! Beep!"
It had been less than a day since Fujimaru and Mashu returned to Chaldea, and their physical and mental fatigue had not yet been relieved. Suddenly, a piercing alarm bell sounded in Chaldea.
Chaldea's AI also began to issue reminders to the entire Chaldea: "Warning: Unidentified creatures invade, unknown creatures invade, please relevant combatants be prepared to meet the enemy."
"Countdown to contact with intruder, 30, 29..."
Less than an hour after Romani, who had long orange hair, fell asleep, Chaldea's alarm woke him up from his deep sleep.
Without enough time to tie up his hair, Romani put on his white coat and hurried to the combat command center.
"What's going on! Did Solomon launch an invasion?"
The employees left behind in the command center are working nervously, trying to intercept the unknown intruders approaching Chaldea through space.
But with the equipment and manpower that Chaldea had after the disaster, this work was almost impossible to complete.
Da Vinci, who replaced Romani as the conductor, looked solemn. She briefly explained the current situation to Romani.
"We don't know where the intruder came from, but judging from the coordinates obtained from the Holy Grail, it should not be Solomon from the Temple of Crowned Time."
Since the start of the singularity repair project, Romani has slept less than 2 hours on average every day, and anxiety and worry have filled his brain.
Romani scratched his messy hair irritably: "Is there any way to stop it?"
Da Vinci shook his head helplessly: "If it was Chaldea before it was destroyed, it should be possible, but... you also know that the existing conditions do not allow it."
A watermelon-headed guy wearing glasses shouted in panic: "There are 8 seconds until the invaders enter Chaldea, 7, 6..."
Fujimaru and Mashu also arrived at this time. Mashu, who was wearing a Chaldean uniform, seemed to be in poor physical condition and seemed a little top-heavy while running.
But she still forced herself to put on Galahad's concept weapon and set up a large shield in front of the landing point of the invaders determined by the staff.
Romani and Leonardo da Vinci thought that the invaders who traveled through time and space to Chaldea would immediately launch an attack, but the reality was completely different from what they expected.
The two people hiding behind Mashu's shield heard a light landing, followed by a familiar voice.
"Is this Chaldea? With so many modern scientific and technological equipment, it's a bit subtle to call it a magic research institution."
"This voice..."
Fujimaru and Mashu looked at each other in astonishment, and at the same time came to the conclusion: "Lu Xiao?!"
"Hello, Fujimaru and Mashu."
Lu Xiao smiled and waved to the few people who poked their heads out from behind the shield: "Sorry to bother you, I'm just here to avoid trouble and I promise not to interfere with your work."
