"You...know Chaldeas?"
Just after Mephistopheles easily revealed the identities of Matthew and others, it was Roman in the Chaldean control room who spoke out.
"Of course, of course. I not only know about the Observatory Chaldeas, but I also know that you have already experienced it.
"This is strange. Although the heroic spirits summoned by the suppression power or this land will be given a certain degree of contemporary knowledge, so far, there has never been a single Servant who has the information of Chaldea. .”
As a genius, Leonardo da Vinci was also surprised by the information Mephistopheles possessed.
"Furthermore, according to the data sent back by Sheba, the Mephistopheles in front of me...rather than being called a heroic spirit, the magic reaction on his body is closer to what was previously seen in the third singularity. The god Hercules who came into contact... although the intensity is not as terrifying as Hercules, the form of existence is undoubtedly similar."
Perhaps this is why Mephistopheles calls himself a demon from hell.
It is true that ordinary heroic spirits cannot show magical reactions similar to those of gods.
"Hehehehehe, my understanding of you is not given through something like restraint, so it is a contract, a contract."
After spreading his hands rather helplessly, Mephistopheles still maintained a smile and gently waved his index finger. Frankenstein, who was bound to the ground by the flames, seemed to be nailed to the invisible upside down. Like a cross, it was hanging upside down and floating. At the same time, the scroll also outlined by flames slowly unfolded in front of Artoria Alt and others.
The words composed of the flames were different from any language that Matthew had ever seen or learned. Matthew could even conclude that the human beings living on the earth, from the past to the present, and continuing into the future, No one has ever used such words.
But Ma Xiu was able to understand the meaning, as if it was imprinted on his soul.
"Waiting and protecting the Master from Chaldeas and the future in Frankenstein's mansion...until the singularity is repaired..."
Matthew couldn't help but read word for word the contents of the contract that surprised her.
If you want to ask why, it is because their identities and origins are recorded almost word for word in the contract, which is brief and without any ambiguity.
However, only the signature of the person who finally made the contract with Mephistopheles, although there was something signed, in Matthew's eyes was just twisted and weird alien writing, and it was not like other words that could be printed through. In Matthew's mind.
"How? Beautiful lady, I swear on the honor of Mephistopheles, at least until this contract is completed, I will never be your enemy."
"Indeed... if the other party is really the demon Mephistopheles described in "Faust", even though it is synonymous with evil and lies, there is only one difference in the contract that has been made. He will break his promise. From this point of view, the other party is indeed a trustworthy person, and even a friend that should be won over."
Dr. Roman, who learned this through the video, also came to a conclusion after thinking silently.
Mephistopheles, also known as Mephistopheles, should be one of the most well-known demons even in later literature or film and television creations.
However, unlike the pure "enemies of God" recorded in the biblical stories like Beelzebub or Satan, Mephistopheles' persistence in 'contract' or 'deal' made him a kind of An object that can be trusted in a sense.
It is also the root of the expansion of the perception of "deal with the devil".
"But who made the contract with you?"
Roman asked next.
Who made the deal with the demon Mephistopheles?
This question is not unimportant. If we really follow Goethe's work, there is no doubt that Mephistopheles has the magic power to realize almost all wishes. There is almost nothing that cannot be obtained by trading with him. of.
Whether it’s youth, love, or even time travel, it’s not a problem.
But a deal with the devil always comes with a price.
The bargaining chip Faust gave at the beginning was his own soul, and in the end Mephistopheles also reached his deal.
If God had not redeemed Faustus's soul at the last moment, Mephistopheles would have gained everything.
However, all this is just a bet between God and the devil.
"Haha, isn't it clearly written in the contract? As for you not knowing this person, it's not my problem~"
After Mephistopheles said this, he snapped his fingers again, and the contract written by the flame disappeared.
"If that's the case, then why did you kidnap Victor? Put him down quickly!"
"呴崴崴, is he your friend? What a pity, I didn't want to do this originally, Victor? This is how you call him, right? After all, Victor is also the object of my contract. This is just to fulfill your obligations. It’s just a contract.”
"Our contract? You mean to protect us, right? In that case, please let Mr. Victor go."
Seeing that the conflict could be avoided, Matthew also made a plea for Victor Frankenstein.
"Well, let me just say this, this is for your safety. Do you really want to let this criminal go?"
"Criminal?"
Matthew repeated the words Mephistopheles said with some confusion.
"I'm afraid it's his result..."
Regarding the word "criminal," Dr. Hyde said with some seriousness.
"Stealing corpses and creating artificial humans is still not accepted by the public even in the 21st century. In this era, it is understandable that Dr. Frankenstein is considered a criminal."
Leonardo da Vinci in Chaldea explained it this way.
"If it's just like this, we don't care. Please let him go quickly!"
Mashu, who was a test-tube baby created as a tool, did not actually care about the problem of artificial human beings that violated human ethics. After all, if she objected because of this, it would be equivalent to denying her own life.
Although he has no real parents and has never had a complete life, Matthew is still grateful for his life.
What's more, they are now relying on Frankenstein's medical skills to save Fujimaru Ritsuka's life.
"Huh huh huh, is that how you understand it? Well, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. After all, it is the employer's wish~"
With a weird smile, Mephistopheles snapped his fingers again, and Victor Frankenstein, who was restrained by the flames in mid-air, fell down.
"boom--"
With a muffled sound, Frankenstein's body hit the ground heavily.
"Victor! That guy didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Dr. Hyde, who was concerned about his friend's safety, rushed forward almost instantly.
"Cough...cough...it's you...Doctor, thanks to you, I was just tied up by that devil for three days and three nights."
"...It's really hard on you, but you will still be busy after that."
Dr. Hyde glanced back at Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was wrapped in a wedding dress, and said with a complicated expression.
"Hehehe, it's such a pity. Whether Mr. Victor will be busy in the future is anyone's guess, but you all will be busy now~"
The moment Mephistopheles finished speaking, the Sheba Observer in Chaldea showed a large number of hostile reactions, and Artoria's intuition also issued a warning at the same time.
"There are a large number of enemies approaching you through the fog! The number is at least three digits, and it is estimated that there will be 10 seconds left. Be ready for battle!"
"Eh? But can't the Chaos Mechanical Soldiers be able to leave the magic mist? The surrounding area of this mansion should be safe, right?"
Before Matthew's doubts ended, several white figures broke through the roof and walls and entered the room to answer her questions.
"Hehehe, the enemies in this city are not just machines that can't think, miss."
