Stray Chapter 5: Common points

Without too much entanglement, the magician turned his attention from Joan of Arc to another node, only to see another saint.

A maiden with purple hair and blue eyes, amazing beauty and charisma, a holy girl who is captivated by even terrifying monsters. A kind, honest, calm, and radiant person, she is a perfect saint from the outside to the inside.

She is wielding a staff made from a cross, like hitting a golf ball, throwing a huge monster dragon Tarasque, which has shrunk into a ball, to hit the enemy fiercely, and rushing to kill on the battlefield... …

Marda.

It is indeed another saint, one whose qualifications are even much older than Joan of Arc, active in the first century AD.

And she is obviously an amazingly beautiful holy girl, but I don't know why, I somehow feel like a big sister, maybe it's because the way and style of attack are too rude?

After all, the Tekken Maiden or something...

"There must be something wrong..."

Xia Ran thought so with a headache, she turned her attention again, and looked at the girl who was covered by many heroic spirits, panting and running wildly on the battlefield, trying her best to pass through an environment that was more dangerous than a hail of bullets.

Short red shoulder-length hair tied into a side ponytail, orange pupils gleaming with hope, no matter how sinister the battlefield, it seems that his inner resolve will not be easily shaken. After all, she has been tempered in a long battle spanning the entire human history, and her will is by no means inferior to that of a heroic spirit.

Tatsuka Fujimaru.

The last Master of Chaldea, the organization for the survival of human rights, was originally just a "novice" who was recruited to fill the vacancy among the 48 Master Candidates of Chaldea——

So I don't have any basic knowledge about magic, and I only have the adaptability to be a master. It is said that I met a Chaldean staff member in front of the station in the city center. Because the other party was disguised as a blood donation car, he was naive He was tested for adaptability and found to be 100% adaptable, and was recommended to Chaldea.

But for some reason at the beginning, she fell asleep at the Chaldean meeting, so she wanted to be kicked out of the house by the director in a rage, but it was a blessing in disguise to avoid the big boss in the control room of Leif, the demon **** pillar. explode.

Not only was he lucky to save his life, but he also became the only active human master that Chaldea could rely on. He could only support each other with the subservient girl Mash, and embarked on the difficulty of correcting the singularity. journey.

Originally she was rushing ducks to the shelves, but she was stunned to make her travel through various eras with difficulty, to find the breakdown points that put Getia into the human mind, and to fix them, and finally hit the time crown. Temple here.

Such an amazing feat can only be described as a miracle.

But this is also related to her own ability. Of course, it's not about the ability of a magician. In the face of this level of crisis, magic ability is the least needed thing, unless she has the top magician. Ability.

It is comparable to the magical abilities of Moses, Solomon, Merlin, etc. Otherwise, there is no difference between having and not.

Fujimaru Rika is primarily a matter of character, knowing good intentions but being able to do evil deeds, being a good person but being able to tolerate malice, being abused by evil but able to penetrate a kind heart, never giving up hope even in the face of fear, trusting own followers.

Her communication skills are very high, she has the destiny to control her destiny, and she has the decisive power when the destiny comes, which means that she is quite lucky - this is her mother, and her restraint is on her side. ——And he has the courage to make decisions without any hesitation.

These are the most important things, supporting her to complete this long journey and forming an important foundation for her bonds with many heroic spirits during the journey. It is also an important foundation for the Chaldean side to launch a general attack on the Temple of the Crown of Time at this moment. where the foundation lies.

The meteor shower in the extreme sky cuts through the sea of ​​stars, and a legendary hero or anti-hero descends from the sky.

Whether it's a friend who once became associated with Tatsuka Fujimaru, or an enemy who used to be her enemy, at this moment, they have turned into a strong support who is a thousand and a thousand people.

As for the fact that she and the other party also have fate, Xia Ran is not too surprised, this is a normal thing.

If it's not in the past, it should be sometime in the future, and he can vaguely interpret some information. After all, since the world of this mission is this world line, then the theme is not a singularity, it must be a strange news bring.

So the intersection happened either in the past or in the future... Well, the rules of time and space in this world are really not careful at all.

Anyway, unlike the causal connection between the two saintess, the causal connection with Fujimaru Rika, the last master of mankind, at least in Xia Ran's eyes, is indeed a more normal thing.

Thinking about this, he turned his attention again, instead of looking at the other "nodes" one by one, he looked directly at the last "node" that also made him a little bit puzzling-

It was inside Chaldea, in the monitoring room where everyone was nervous, a man who was doing intense command work.

Romani Archiman.

A member of Chaldea, the Human Rights Protection Agency. The head of the medical department, the attending doctor of Matthew Killeret. When the explosion occurred in the control room of Chaldea, he escaped because he was not in the designated position, but hid in his room to fish in the water.

Because of the highest position among the Chaldean survivors after the bombing, it is natural to assume the organization and coordination of the entire agency.

In the more than a year of struggle for the survival of human rights, he almost always, with the assistance of Da Vinci, maintained the normality of Chaldea in every detail with his zealous energy and constant overdraft of energy. run.

A very ordinary and reliable ordinary person, although he has been evaluated as a weak character many times...

The real person is actually the real King Solomon.

Solomon is the first successful example of the summoning of the Chaldean heroic spirits. He was secretly summoned by the former director, Maris Billy Animusfia, and participated in the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, Japan in 2004, and obtained the Victorious Caster.

Because of the victory in the Holy Grail War, the former director also made Solomon make a wish.

Because as a king who was destined to be perfect from birth, Solomon had never experienced the life of a "human" since he was born, and ended the king's life like a machine, never experiencing true "freedom".

So he has a strong desire to become a "no special, average ability" ordinary person, which he did not realize.

The wish that Solomon made to the Holy Grail at that time was to become a human being. It was not as simple as gaining a body as a heroic spirit with the power of the Holy Grail, but abandoning all the powers of heroic spirits and being reborn as a person who had nothing to do with King Solomon at all. new human.

After becoming a human, Solomon finally acquired the humanity of a human named Romani Achiman.

He wanted to live as an ordinary person, but his fate failed to make him do so. At the moment before his wish was established, his clairvoyance clearly saw the future of human beings.

——Fate always likes to joke like this.

Solomon became Doctor Roman and obtained the humanity he wanted, but as a result, he was not able to enjoy the fullness and joy of being a human for a moment. Instead, he was forced to live a mechanical life again by huge pressure.

It is no different from the former King Solomon... No, there is still a difference. Although the former King Solomon did not have freedom, at least he had the ability, the clairvoyance to see through the past and the future, and the true wisdom and wisdom bestowed by God. The source of magic.

Now Roman has nothing, he is just an ordinary person, without the magic circuit, without the clairvoyance, all he can do is to study like an ordinary person and double his studies.

And King Solomon has no humanity and doesn't know what fear is, but Roman has to really endure the fear and pressure that make him collapse.

Have never enjoyed the freedom of human beings, the burden of saving human life is still pressing him, and his hellish patience has allowed him to learn everything he can learn, working day and night for Chaldea, trying to do something before the world is destroyed what.

A rather tragic toiler...

Xia Ran admires this guy very much, but is also a little puzzled. What is the causal connection between himself and the other party?

Could it be that he also has the qualifications to be crowned Caster, and it happens that everyone can know each other in this field? Is it like Merlin, Solomon, Gilgamesh and others, who clearly know each other in different regions and times?

It shouldn't be...he thought about it, thought about it, and felt that he couldn't find a suitable answer no matter what.

Perhaps it was also because of the fact that his records were also on the Throne of Heroes, and he had contact with these people at an unknown time? Although I can't be sure right now, because of the binding nature of the second magic, there shouldn't be something that my parallel existence is summoned and I don't know.

But Heroes is already beyond the timeline. Some things happened in the past, and the cause may be in the future, and vice versa. These are all possible and cannot be arbitrary.

Maybe at some objective point in the "future", I was suddenly summoned to the "past"?

While he was thinking about it, the Heroic Spirits finally suppressed the Demon God Pillars in various positions and forcibly escorted their Master to the final passage.

Although this space itself is the existence of Demon God Pillars, they seem to have only seventy-two pillars, but they are actually endless. But the same goes for Heroic Spirits, no matter how many times they fall, they will continue to appear as long as they don't give up.

As long as the Master exists, as long as the fate and the cause and effect of the contract exist, they can use this positioning to come from the Throne of Heroes, because this is also a battlefield outside of time.

You don't even need catalysts and summoning spells. Every moment someone falls down, but every moment a Servant reappears and joins the battlefield, heroic and tragic, a violent frenzy regardless of consumption The attack finally allowed them to suppress the Demon God Pillar.

"...There is no reaction from the Demon God Pillar on the road to the Jade Tower, just go through it in one breath!"

In the monitoring room of Chaldea, Da Vinci shouted to Tatsuka Fujimaru and Matthew through communication, trying to boost his morale, "In terms of distance, there is a place about one kilometer away. Space fault! The opposite side must be the Jade Throne of the Magic King!"

Then, she seemed to remember something, turned her head and looked at the doctor next to her:

"However, let's leave this aside for now, Romani! The final battle is imminent, and I'll make sure again! Who is Solomon, the sorcerer king who is entrenched in this temple, who has completed the Burning of Humanity. Who!"

"This, this..."

Dr. Roman was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed and at a loss, he faltered.

Da Vinci did not stop, but continued to ask sternly: "Is it myself, or is it a fake? Is it a heroic spirit, or some other existence? Whether the answer is right or wrong, as a commander, you should Have you come to a conclusion, don't you plan to tell them this information at this time?"

A very strange experience, Xia Ran's mind instantly came to the monitoring room, and calmly observed everything around him.

He can see what's happening in real time, and can hear everyone's conversations, whether it's here in Chaldea or any corner of the magic realm space outside, it's far away.

Unfortunately, he has only pure perception, nothing else, so he can't do anything, and he has not been discovered by anyone, whether it is the various spiritual observation devices and equipment in Chaldea, or in the Gaetia, who controls the entire "field" outside.

There are also those demonic pillars and various servants who are active on the battlefield and are fighting fiercely. Even if many of them are particularly powerful, they are still unaware of the existence of spiritual adaptability.

He is like a simple observer, like the audience watching the video from outside the screen, there is no way to reach out and interfere with what is happening on the screen, and the image on the screen can't see beyond the fourth wall His.

The non-existent person carefully observed the dialogue between Romani Archiman and Leonardo da Vinci, thinking seriously.

What connection do these "nodes" have with themselves, and what do they have in common with each other...

Joan of Arc, Marda, Solomon...
