The three people from Chaldea continued to move forward in the mist.
Although Arturia Alter was once the king of this land, hundreds or even thousands of years have passed and the magic fog around her that is enough to be considered invisible still prevents her from recognizing her true identity. Where.
After this city, founded by the Celts, was captured by Rome and finally burned by the Celts, it has experienced changes and rises and falls over the years. Although some shadows of the past can still be seen in it, It's just a shadow.
I am afraid that even Queen Boudica, who burned this place with her own hands and allowed her soldiers to burn, kill and loot, would not completely believe that this is the "Londinium" after seeing the prosperous city in front of her. )Bar.
"Speaking of which, the image this time was not interrupted at all, which is really strange."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said while looking teasingly at the doctor Roman opposite the blue image.
"Of course. After the painful lessons of the first few singularities, the communication technology in Chaldea has been innovated through my painstaking efforts."
"Hey, is it just you, the doctor?"
"No, it's up to me... Although I am a doctor, I am still somewhat of a technician in Chaldea, right?"
"But aren't all of your so-called 'techniques' basically achieved by asking Magical Merry?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka said to Roman disdainfully.
"No, no, no...how did you know about this? I probably didn't tell you."
Roman in Chaldea shed cold sweat that shouldn't have appeared on his forehead under the questioning from the girl.
This further confirmed Fujimaru Ritsuka's thoughts.
"Let's not talk about this for now. In short, I know that I know."
"This kind of thing can't be ignored for a while!"
"And it was all completed with the help of Leonardo da Vinci in the end, right?"
"No, the improvement of Chaldea's communication system really doesn't come from that genius. He has been studying something in the workshop for the past few days."
"Eh----?"
While questioning, Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a suspicious expression on his face, and then continued:
"In this case, wouldn't the improvement of Chaldea's communication system be all completed by you, the doctor, alone?"
"What are you talking about with that tone of complete disbelief... Unfortunately, although I feel very unbelievable myself, the improvement of the communication system was indeed completed by me alone."
"Didn't even Leonardo da Vinci help you?"
"Well, although I would definitely have a hand in it if I were here, and the transformation of the Master's attire should be a piece of cake for me and I shouldn't stay in the workshop for too long——but I do consume I spend a lot of time and energy in my own workshop.”
Facing the question of the red-haired girl, Da Vinci, who appeared in the image at some point, not only said this, but also yawned in time.
"Well…………"
Faced with the current situation that vaguely revealed a sense of disobedience, Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched his hair in distress.
"I didn't expect that a genius like you would be tired, but it's strange. Heroic spirits obviously can't feel fatigue."
Roman nodded and said.
"On a spiritual level, spiritually."
Seeing his tired demeanor exposed, Leonardo Da Vinci could only fight like this, haha.
"But you really put your care into that gift. This can explain the fact that Fujimaru can move forward unharmed even in such a magical mist."
"That's true, but I don't really remember that I have processed this aspect. Rather, I have a vague memory of what improvements have been made."
"Maybe you are really tired. Do you want to take a rest?"
Roman comforted Da Vinci beside him.
Da Vinci also nodded and said goodbye to Mashu and Artoria, and left the control room.
Only Fujimaru Ritsuka, who noticed the violation, still stayed where he was, thinking about what was wrong.
"…………senior?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had unknowingly been two steps away from Artoria who was opening the way at the front, suddenly came to his senses at the call of his junior.
"Please follow me closely. The blockade in this fog is too severe. It would be very serious if we get separated in this environment."
"…………Um."
Originally thinking that even if he got separated from Mash and Artoria, it wouldn't be a big problem and he didn't seem to care much about it. After a moment of silence, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized that even if he had a child from Chaldea, Master's Ceremony, she has no magic skills at all, and her combat effectiveness is basically equivalent to 0.
If you encounter a free servant summoned by restraint in this fog, you may be able to draw it into your camp with your fairly good social skills, but if you encounter an enemy...
Looking at the gray front, even though he knew that Artoria was in front, Fujimaru Ritsuka still did not feel even half of Artoria's aura. He could only feel it through the contract between the servant and the master. to her.
If the enemy were at this distance, she would probably be facing a life-or-death crisis before she even had time to react.
It was only now that Fujimaru Ritsuka became afraid.
Really...why on earth am I so confident?
"Having said that, now that the communication system has been strengthened, the support I can get from you, the doctor, will be more. At least it won't be limited to supplies that can only be transferred based on spiritual veins."
"Theoretically, as long as we can maintain such a state of contact, with the assistance of the Sheba Observer, Chaldea can be like a radar ahead of most magicians, and even the heroic spirits can capture the opponent's trend."
"It's just that because the signal is often disconnected, the first few singular points are basically useless..."
Although aware of the crisis, the red-haired girl still said sarcastic words.
Should we say that she is really calm in the face of danger? Or thick lines?
Looking at his Master, Mashu felt a little complicated inside.
"It's also very difficult here... Please bear with me on this point——"
Faced with Fujimaru Ritsuka's sarcastic remarks, Roman could only respond helplessly.
After all, he really couldn't defend himself in this regard.
Putting all the burdens on the Master who was new to the world of magic, and failing to provide adequate support even though he should have been able to do so, does not seem like something that should be excused.
"But this time, the doctor will be able to have some effect, right?"
"……………………"
Facing the question from Fujimaru Ritsuka, Roman fell into silence again.
"?"
Even without words, Roman could still read doubts like "Question Mark?" from the red-haired girl's face through the image.
"Unfortunately, due to the existence of this high-concentration magic mist, Chaldea cannot even accurately locate Saber Alt's location. It can only determine the location through the rituals on your body and Mash's shield."
"It turned out to be useless... You just chose to strengthen the communication system simply so that you could get more lines, doctor."
However, during the conversation, a huge figure emerged from the magic mist. When Artoria returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka and saw it, it was already too late.
"Danger, Master!"
Following the early warning from Artoria, Mashu appeared in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka almost instantly.
And Arturia also rushed forward like a sharp arrow while leaving the rear to Mashu.
However, compared to the huge enemy so close at hand, there was no room for a preemptive attack.
"laugh----------!!!"
Just like an old-fashioned steam engine suddenly releasing after reaching the maximum cylinder pressure, with a huge sound, the hot steam mixed with corrosive gas and the magic mist were mixed together, rolling towards the location of Fujimaru Ritsuka and others.
Fortunately, with the protection of Mashu, the girl, who was just an ordinary person, survived.
Under the influence of this huge air wave, Fujimaru Ritsuka's vision was finally not disturbed by the magic mist, and he saw the huge enemy in front of him.
"robot…………?!"
Surprised words came out of his mouth subconsciously.
However, before she could differentiate, the robot's honeycomb-shaped image receiver flashed a red light, and then at an astonishing speed, it raised the muzzle mounted on its forearm and locked onto the target.
Facing the black muzzle and the metallic luster on it, even Fujimaru Tatsuka, who had lived in a country where he had almost no contact with guns and could only see someone assassinating the former Prime Minister with a homemade gun on the news, clearly understood. Realized what it was.
“Da da da da——————————”
A series of gunshots sounded dull but also had a hint of hollow sound.
I'm afraid if you listen to it from a farther place, the dullness of the gunfire will completely disappear.
This just proves how close she is to the muzzle of the gun, so much so that the sound of gunpowder exploding in the barrel of the gun can be heard clearly————————
"Vortigern!"
Fortunately, Artoria Alt, who had already assumed a fighting stance in time, had transformed the Reversal Holy Sword in her hand into the "Humble King's Hammer" used in daily battles.
The huge sword body was now like a mallet. Wrapped in the violent wind transformed by the violent magic power, the metal jet coefficient shot from the muzzle was engulfed and then shattered into pieces.
After doing all this, Artoria still continued her momentum unabated. She lowered her body and rushed towards the huge robot in front of her. Then she hit the robot's body hard.
The dark storm followed Artoria's momentum and clung to the robot's torso, ruthlessly tearing the robot in half.
It was obviously a slash, but like a hammer, it turned everything into powder.
Normal creatures, even dragons and even living corpses, will lose their life and fighting ability in an instant after suffering such a blow. Even the neurological reaction of a reptile that can still bite out the last bite after being decapitated will not exist. Everything. Everything was cut off and then smashed.
However…………
"Careful! Miss Alter!"
The exclamation from Mash made Artoria Alter couldn't help but look up at the enemy who was already dead in her own experience and could no longer die.
The steel behemoth, which had lost nearly two-thirds of its body and was torn in half at the waist, still had red light flashing in its eyes. On the way down, it raised its remaining forelimbs and released more metal jets.
“Da da da da da da daa——————————!”
A series of harsh and dense gunfire sounded again.
At this moment, Artoria, who had underestimated her enemy, could no longer react in any other way and could only use all her strength to try to resist this series of attacks.
However, in the previous contest, she had already noticed that the metal in the jet was not ordinary steel or anything else.
It's a Gandr-like bullet mixed with magic power and magic.
If it were one or two shots, it might be fine for her who has extremely high magic resistance, but if she was to take dozens of shots at once, even she might not be able to escape unscathed.
This is bad.
"whispering sound----"
Artoria gritted her teeth. Although she was aware of the crisis of the situation, now she could only pay the price for underestimating her enemy.
"When dealing with a guy like this, you can't underestimate him——————!"
And a sound that was so familiar that it could no longer be familiar, and even made people grit their teeth, suddenly came from the mist.
What came after that sound was a flow of magic mixed with blood-red thunder and lightning.
"This is------"
The flow of magic power that was no less than that of the Sword of Victory after liberation swallowed up the bullets and the remains of the robot that were still standing on the ground.
However, Artoria was still immersed in the impact of the familiar magic power.
Although she had already had this awareness when she was summoned, she still didn't expect to encounter him so soon.
"Although I don't know who you are who dare to go out in such an environment and walk so arrogantly in the patrol area of these guys, but... Since you are fighting these steel monsters, At least it’s not an enemy.”
After getting rid of the monster that suddenly appeared, the bold and childlike voice got closer and closer until its owner walked out of the fog that had gathered again.
"you are…………"
Matthew was a little stunned when he looked at the red and white armor worn by the person in front of him and his long golden hair.
But what's more important is the face of the visitor.
Well, even though I don’t know which time it is, Matthew still wants to say————————
"It's this face again!!!!"
Before Matthew could speak, the red-haired girl was the first to express her dissatisfaction.
Although I didn't see anyone other than Artoria having this face at all in the last singularity, I was secretly relieved, but did it still appear in this singularity?
In this way, there might be someone with the "Altria face" in the last singularity, but they just went there too late and didn't notice it.
Could it be that the secret of human destruction really lies in this face? ?
The knight wearing red and white armor with an Artoria face also showed a hint of vigilance after hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.
"This face again——? Hey, that weirdly dressed magician over there, I don't remember knowing you——Is it possible that you know other people who look like me?"
Seeing that the other party was becoming hostile because of his Master's words, Mashu quickly smoothed things over and said:
"You may find it hard to believe it, but it's true————"
Next, Mash explained to her the origins of himself, others and Chaldea.
"Miss Joan of Arc of France, Miss Nero of Rome, and..."
When he said this, Matthew turned around and looked at Artoria Alter, who had chosen to wear a face mask in order to prevent her face from causing the commotion in France and Rome again, and saw Artoria looking calmly. The blind spot that only Mash could see shook his head.
"And what?"
However, the knight opposite Matthew once again became suspicious because of Matthew's hesitation.
"And... Queen Akashi of India and Miss Okita of Japan both have faces like this!"
At this point, Matthew could only apologize to the two heroes who had never met before but were already flustered by her for spreading rumors.
"Matthew... Well, let's not mention Joan of Arc and Queen Zhang Xi for now. Although it is hard to believe, Emperor Nero is indeed a woman. It has been confirmed, but the last one..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who is Japanese, continued:
"Soji Okita is a male after all, right?"
ah----------!
Failed.
Failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed, failed!
Matthew's heart was filled with annoyance for himself.
Why would I make such a simple mistake?
Now I am afraid that I will have to fight against the servants who could have fought to become allies.
"What? They are all names I have never heard of."
However, the knight in red and white armor in front of her didn't care about the details of Mash's mistake, or in other words, in her eyes, such mistakes were very common.
After briefly glancing at the shield in Mash's hand, the knight in red and white armor showed a completely different expression on his face that was exactly the same as Arturia's.
"My real name is Mordred, a member of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table, and the rebellious knight who ultimately destroyed Camelot. Please take care of me."
Like an innocent child, Mordred said with a smile.
"Eh?"
However, after hearing Mordred's real name, Mashu trembled calmly, and then looked at Arturia, who was still in the blind spot of Mordred's sight.
Artoria still shook her head at her, showing no intention of taking off her mask to reveal her identity, and at the same time, she did not release the hammer form of the inverted holy sword in her hand.
Now she finally knew why Arturia chose not to let her continue talking just now.
At the same time, Mashu also clearly understood the reason why Arturia chose to wear a visor for herself.
Now it's not just a matter of looking the same.
Rather, King Arthur and the rebellious knight Mordred are real, sworn enemies.
