"Sure enough, the only clue that can be traced now is the Crystal Palace, which was not demolished until 1888 and hosted the World's Fair."
Matthew who was on the side silently summarized all this.
"But Dr. Hyde also said just now that although our current location is not very far from the Crystal Palace, we still have to walk there, right? Is it really possible in such a heavy fog?"
Seeing that the target was confirmed, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his own questions.
You must know that in the previous magic mist, the help provided by vision was almost zero. Not to mention that Fujimaru Ritsuka, as an ordinary person, had infinitely close to zero perception of the surroundings. Even Mashu, as a servant, Altria and Altria also failed to notice the approach of the Chaos Mechanical Soldier until it could easily attack within the distance of herself and the others——then it was often too late.
If it were one or two Chaos Mechanical Soldiers, they might be able to deal with it easily with the qualities of Artoria and Mash, but the enemy's mechanical structure is obviously one that can be mass-produced.
The words from Hyde's mouth also confirmed that there are by no means a few Chaos Mechanical Soldiers wandering around London now. If they rush in recklessly and without a plan, I am afraid that what will greet them in the end is to be surrounded by Chaos Mechanical Soldiers.
And in that situation, no matter how strong Mash and Artoria are, they may not be able to save their own lives.
As the only remaining Master of mankind, for the sake of his own safety and for the last hope of humanity, Fujimaru Ritsuka would not be able to take such a huge risk to execute the plan.
What's more, rushing from the City District to Hyde Park, where the Crystal Palace is located, is not a plan at all.
"Can't we go along London's subway system? London's subway system was already quite developed in 1888, right? If we go underground, we should be able to avoid the Chaos Mechanical Soldiers wandering in the fog."
Matthew put forward his own idea.
"Unfortunately, that probably won't work. Even the underground part of the clock tower, which was protected by layers of protection, has now lost contact. As an important transportation line in London, the other party has no reason to miss it. On the contrary, I'm afraid it will still happen. Think of this orbital artery linking London as the main route for the rapid movement of robot soldiers."
Roman gave a negative answer.
"This is indeed a difficult problem. Although the analysis report on the magic fog has been obtained, it is a pity that the Chaos Mechanical Soldiers that you fought just now failed to leave any data or wreckage with survey value. My opinion is that It would be better not to risk going to the Crystal Palace until you know the enemy’s true identity.”
Leonardo da Vinci in the image said this.
"Then the top priority is to get the remains of a Chaos Mechanical Soldier again..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into deep thought after hearing this. Then she looked up at Hyde, who was sitting opposite her, as if she suddenly thought of something.
"Dr. Hyde, do you have the remains of the Chaos Mechanic?"
For this intellectual scholar, Fujimaru Ritsuka believed that Henry Jekyll would definitely not let go of studying this sudden appearance, which obviously contained a mechanical product that could be called fantasy technology.
However, Hyde shook his head with regret.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Miss Fujimaru. Although I am indeed very curious about the structural logic behind the Chaos Mechanical Soldier, my research on mechanics is only limited to the introductory level. What I study more is the production of potions."
"Is that why I didn't take the risk to face or even capture the Chaos Mechanical Soldiers..."
Roman in the control room sighed like this.
"I'm so sorry. I wish I had done more."
"No, you don't need to apologize at all, Dr. Hyde. It's better to say that avoiding risks as much as possible is what ordinary people like you living in this era should do."
Roman didn't think about demanding too much from Hyde.
"Human beings in the future will indeed become more tolerant, but when it comes to avoiding risks——"
While sighing at Roman's reaction, Hyde pulled out a rolled-up map of London from the gap of the sofa where he was sitting, and then unfolded it flatly on the coffee table in front of him, so that the person sitting opposite him could see it. Both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu could clearly see the contents.
Even Artoria Alter, who had been standing in the corner, and Mordred, who had no patience to listen to the conversation between Fujimaru Ritsuka and others, involuntarily walked to the table because of the content on the picture. , and remembered the contents in detail.
If you want to ask why, it can only be attributed to the fact that the content in the picture is indeed worth doing.
"This is the preparation I made before to detect the friends I lost contact with - although the source of the final data is only through the detectors I set up in the surrounding area when I ventured out - it is a detector, In fact, it is just a sensor that automatically sends out a signal when an object passes by. Therefore, it is impossible to completely avoid risks, but the opposite is true, and you want to deliberately encounter one or two chaotic machines. As for soldiers, this map should be able to do it."
Dr. Hyde said this, showing the map that he had drawn with red lines along the street.
Although the only parts that were finally marked were the area around the Cité District and the residences of several scholars who had previously been in contact with Hyde, the reference value they could give is currently unknown to this singularity. Chaldea, which cannot be detected through Sheba, is already very important.
As a knight, Mordred and Artoria, a former knight, naturally understood the importance of this map, so they couldn't help but step forward and silently memorize the information on the map.
However, when Artoria used her peripheral vision to notice Mordred, who had inadvertently gotten very close to her but was still paying attention to the map, her eyes covered by the visor showed a hint of surprise, and then she Become relieved.
Surprisingly, I didn't expect that Mordred actually had such a "knightly" side.
What is relieved is that no matter what happens, Mordred will still be a member of the Knights of the Round Table she once led. It is normal to have such qualities.
However, is he still surprised by Mordred to this day?
Arturia secretly laughed at herself in her heart.
What was she looking at before, in Britain, in her own kingdom? So much so that he had no time to pay attention to the knights who respected themselves as kings.
Until she finally sent the holy spear Lungominiad into Mordred's heart, Arturia never understood even a little bit of what Mordred said and thought.
Presumably, she has never understood the sincerity of any Knight of the Round Table.
Otherwise, Lancelot would not have fallen into madness, and Tristan would not have left resolutely.
What she had been looking at was never the knights surrounding the round table.
"I didn't expect that, Hyde, you still have a few moments left."
Mordred's slightly heartless voice woke Artoria up from the past meeting. Mordred, who had memorized the map, was ignoring the pained expression on her face and patting Hyde on the shoulder. .
And Roman also said after scanning Hyde's map: "Indeed, the data you collected really helped us a lot. In this way, at least we can ensure the activities around the Xiti District as much as possible. The risk is minimized.”
"It is my greatest honor to be able to help you people from the future and participate in this great cause of saving all mankind. If my friends... who have already encountered unexpected events know what they did in the end, If it has some effect, I should also be happy."
"The map data has been sent to you, Mashu, and the detection data of the magic fog has also been sent. You're welcome."
Da Vinci, who was beside Roman, continued:
“However, just in case, let me explain it to you——————————The final conclusion is that this magic mist is probably composed of the Noble Phantasms of multiple heroic spirits, among which not only A large number of chemically harmful substances were detected, and magic remnants from many different sources were also found. Ultimately, the magic fog contained a concentration of magic that could kill people even without harmful ingredients such as sulfur. It’s caused by the magic from these different sources.”
"In other words, as long as we can eliminate one of the servants, will the lethality of this magic mist be reduced?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked.
After all, even indoors and partially enclosed places will not be invaded by magic fog, but for people living in London, the magic fog that can easily kill people after being exposed to it for just tens of seconds is still physically possible. In a sense, they were trapped in their rooms.
Although in the short term, people can still survive through London's water supply network and leftover food at home, in the long term it will inevitably lead to unacceptable and serious consequences.
If the concentration of the magic fog can be reduced, it is undoubtedly the most important thing for ordinary people in London to do at the moment.
Now it seems that the priorities of action may have to change again.
"That's true in theory, but Fujimaru-chan, how are you going to find even one of the culprits who created this magic mist incident?"
Da Vinci asked, seeing what Fujimaru Ritsuka was thinking.
"Is there no way to trace the source of the magic mist?"
"Unfortunately, the current data is still too little. Even if you want to trace the source of the magic fog, you can't do it. The best way at the moment is still to investigate the surrounding areas steadily and gradually obtain information."
Leonardo da Vinci nipped Fujimaru Ritsuka's adventurous ideas in the bud.
"Then what we can do now is to find the Chaos Mechanical Soldier first and get some meaningful clues from it, right? So what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly?"
Mordred stood up and put Clarent on his shoulders - the sword that had been stored in King Arthur's treasury but was stolen by Mordred and eventually killed King Arthur.
"There is no better way, so use this place as your base and slowly explore the whole of London."
Fujimaru Ritsuka finally said.
