"Edison, you have to stay rational." Karna reminded him expressionlessly as he looked at the lion-headed Edison who was making the factory work overtime to make mechanical soldiers.
"These things... are not a big threat to the combat power of the servants. The force that took Helena away has many servants."
"But - but -" Edison's expression was slightly ferocious and helpless, and his huge fists were clenched, "I can't just do nothing, can I?"
"Helena is my important friend and the most important member of the Eastern United States... I must find a way to save her..."
"I will help you." Karna waited until Edison finished speaking, then said quietly.
"...bring Helena back."
...
Negotiations at Green River are still ten days away.
Robin Hood and Billy the Kid had crossed the Texas border, headed north along the Pecos River, and were now at Carlsbad.
Carlsbad today is still just a small county town.
"Hmm... should we continue to go north? If we go further north, we will reach the territory of the lion's head." Robin Hood lifted his hat hotly and wiped the sweat from his forehead. .
"Well... let me take a look." Billy the Kid scratched the back of his head with a troubled expression on his face.
So far, both of them have found nothing. The main reason is that the west is too desolate now, and coupled with the "specialness" of the singularity, it is difficult to find normal people, let alone so-called "doctor followers".
And because of the constant war between the mechanical soldiers and the Celts, the territory was very fragmented. If they wanted to guide the American soldiers who were living outside, they would have to go around the battlefields in fear, because... .
The "King" of the Celtics holds the Holy Grail, and through the Holy Grail, he summons many followers. Once the lone Robin Hood and Billy the Kid are discovered, they might be entangled.
Being entangled by those Celtic lunatics, neither Robin Hood nor Billy Boy were sure of winning. Fortunately, Robin Hood could escape from the battlefield through the Noble Phantasm [The Faceless King], but Billy Boy might be about to suffer. It's heavy.
The two were riding north along the river when they suddenly noticed what appeared to be a boat on the Pecos River.
"Huh? That's..." Feeling the familiar magic power, Billy the Kid frowned and looked towards the river.
"Is it Geronimo? Why is he here?" Robin Hood was also a little surprised.
The two people approached the river and saw Geronimo waving to them while rowing the boat towards the shore.
...
"What happened? Why are you here?" Pulling the panting Geronimo up, Robin Hood frowned slightly.
"You should know that in addition to being a warrior, I am also a fortune teller." After taking a breath, Geronimo sat on the ground and looked up at the two of them, with a solemn look on his face. "I divined something, very... It’s important, so I came to you.”
"Wait, you brought Rama with you?" Billy the Kid saw Rama sticking his head out of the boat rowed by Geronimo and blinked, "We're not going back to Texas? "
"Hey..." Rama forced a smile and said hello to Billy the Kid and Robin Hood.
"There is no way to go, the Celtics are coming." Geronimo shook his head and sighed, "If another rider hadn't appeared and rescued me, maybe I wouldn't have been able to escape."
Upon hearing this news, both Robin Hood and Billy the Kid couldn't help but feel a little silent.
Many Celtic teams are led by servants. If they encounter a team led by servants, with the injured Rama and Geronimo as a caster but without a master, it will definitely be a disaster. Few scenes.
"...Where are the soldiers we rescued before? Were they annihilated by the Celts? Or did they retreat to other places?" Robin Hood asked, although those people have nothing to do with him, but After all, they were saved by his own hands and had been together for a while. If possible... Robin Hood didn't want to see them die.
"They were not annihilated. The servant took them to other places, and he also gave me an address, saying that he rescued many people, and they are currently concentrated in Shreveport."
"...Is that person trustworthy? Geronimo." Billy the Kid looked into Geronimo's eyes with serious questioning in his eyes.
Geronimo took a long breath and nodded heavily.
"I think he can be trusted."
"He sent that Celtic servant back to the Throne of Heroes in front of me, and seriously protected the lives of every ordinary person."
"The most important thing is...his name is Jimia."
"Is Jimia... the companion of Oceanus, the great hero in Greek mythology?" Robin Hood recalled for a moment, and remembered that he had such a name. "I remember that he seemed to kill monsters and help He is famous among the common people, and of course the most famous one is that he lent his head to his brother and gave the sea god named Poseidon a hard blow!"
"Has this kind of hero been summoned to this singularity... That should still be trustworthy. Such heroes are not like desperadoes like me. Generally speaking, they have the belief that they can be called monsters." Billy the Kid Finally he breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
"So, why did you rush here in a hurry? What did you predict?" Robin Hood helped Geronimo up and patted the dust off his body.
"We have to go north." Geronimo walked in front of the two of them, looked in the direction of the north, and muttered, "I sensed it in the prophecy."
"...The person who can really solve this singularity has already arrived at this singularity."
"Including doctors who can treat Rama, they are all in the north."
"Ah... So we still have to go north. The west is very desolate now..." Robin Hood scratched his face with a slightly troubled expression.
"Don't worry, at least it's much better than searching like a headless fly before, isn't it?" Billy the Kid chuckled and touched Robin Hood's weak spot with his elbow, "Or do you just want to continue riding in this desolate place like this? Wandering around in the west?"
"Let's go, let's go to the north. I wonder who is capable enough to solve this singularity. Could it be that the great hero Oceanus came here in person?" Robin Hood rolled his eyes, pushed Billy the Kid away, and headed towards the ship. He walked over and said, "When we get to Carlsbad, we have to find a way to get two more horses. Hello, King of Kosala, are you okay with riding now?"
"Yu, of course... no problem pff-"
Robin Hood: ...
