Stray Chapter 50: “coincidence” in various senses

  "Then follow your plan, Master, I just hope that nothing goes wrong..."

   The slightly upset Artoria thought for a while, and finally stretched out her slender index finger, rubbed her eyebrows lightly and helplessly, and then looked at the Master in front of her.

  "But then again, Master, you shouldn't be on stage, right?"

   "Well, before Fujimaru comes back, I need to keep an eye on the singularity. There is a computer space after material information, so the density of information is much higher than the normal material world, and the flow of time is I'm also a little maddened..."

  Xia Ran first blinked, then said solemnly: "If you don't pay attention, maybe I will lose the chain at a critical moment, which will be a serious matter. So you should be the star in this script. Now, I should be free by then, so I won't interfere too much..."

  “…”

  “…”

   Artoria did not speak, just widened her beautiful emerald green eyes and stared at him with a look of disgust.

   The so-called silence is better than sound at this time, silent disgust is better than a thousand words, and it is also better than all powerful complaints.

  Xia Ran immediately twitched the corners of his mouth, and then the serious expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said calmly and directly: "Well, mainly because I don't think I have at all. It is necessary to appear, so I can watch from the side and watch you all smash and bleed."

  “…”

  “…”

   Is it really a big deal to watch the fun? Do you want me to prepare a melon seed drink for you, so that you can move a stool and watch it by the side?

   Artoria suddenly didn't know what to say. When the other party was talking nonsense with serious eyes, she could protest a little, but now she has absolutely no choice. After all, this person has been frank to the point of being unscrupulous, what else can you do?

   "That's all it takes. Originally, there was no role arrangement for me in this script. Only you and the Knights of the Round Table are the center, as well as the group of Chaldeans... After all, trust and betrayal, correctness and persistence. Nian, the contradictions and conflicts brought about by such a choice are both exciting and interesting.”

   The magician raised his hands and stretched hard, and then looked back at the content on the projection: "And I let that Assassin away before, it's enough to test my acting skills, if this time I am more friendly If they were making cameos, they wouldn't have any reason to run away..."

   If he did that, even a fool would be suspicious.

   Therefore, it is reasonable for Xia Ran to intervene in the future. She even has to act like she is being held back by something and not appear at all from the beginning to the end. Only in this way can she reasonably let Jia go Ledi and others, without being suspected of anything by them.

   "Okay, that's fine, anyway, I'll take care of it when the time comes..." Arturia sighed, nodded lightly, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask: "Then One more question, about the group of rebels...how to deal with it?"

   "Huh? Do you need to ask me about this, Lady Queen?" The magician looked at her strangely.

  "Of course I know that there are selective suppression, selective pulling, and selective letting go..."

   Artoria did not pay attention to the mocking name of the "Queen", just stared at him very seriously, and continued: "But this is different from the beginning, those people have gradually become a climate, able to give The troubles we cause are getting bigger and bigger, and the losses are getting bigger and bigger, just like the Black Dragon incident this time..."

   paused slightly, she frowned slightly, and seemed to organize the language before continuing:

   "I checked all the relevant records through Tonatiu, and pieced together the ins and outs of the whole thing. First of all, their people spent more than a year lurking and were able to enter the Dragon Academy in Scotland, although eventually I haven't been able to easily enter the core layer and get access to the most confidential information, but I also have a lot of key information..."

   "A lot of the information about the ancient dragons they have mastered, the core power of the word spirit, etc., are obtained from the Dragon Academy, and they even made a mixed-race achievement by mistake. And it is said that they are insanely transforming all the staff, thinking that this is the evolutionary direction of human beings, and they can have the strength to complete their great cause..."

  "And this time, because the spy did not know the inside story of the "War of Destiny", but based on the information he had, he inferred that it might be another ancient dragon that we secretly cultivated, or the most powerful ancient dragon. Therefore, I feel that this is a good opportunity to seize from us, just like the airship and golem they need, just grab it directly..."

  Because the spy didn't know what the core secret topics in the Dragon Academy were, they just figured out a general outline based on some information that they had hidden. For example, that project is the project with the longest duration, the most resources invested, and the most secretive and secretive project. It is even very likely that the entire Dragon Academy was established at the beginning to serve this core project.

   Therefore, they naturally inferred that Camelot has been trying to make an ancient dragon king, and after such a long time, it has been close to making it successfully... Of course, this conclusion is not wrong, but the rebels don't know Miraboreas was more dangerous than he thought, an evil dragon that only gods could fight.

   They are just excited to get such an opportunity, and feel that this should be the first ancient dragon they have. Anyway, they have to grab it, why not grab the strongest ancient dragon?

   Just like they and others robbed airships and locomotives before, the strategic technology that Camelot possessed, they must also possess the rebels.

  "For this reason, when the spy found that the experiment on Miraboreas suddenly stopped and was not carried out at a fixed frequency as before, he did not know that it was the "artificial UO" in the last step. The plan proved to be a failure, but according to their logic, they believed that this ancient dragon was about to be put into use, and a new dragoon army was formed..."

   Speaking of which, Artoria felt a little headache.

   "So they decided to go all out, and they suddenly launched massive attacks all over Europe not long ago, which made me think they were crazy, were they ready to declare war on Camelot... and Paying such a high price is actually to hide their true goals."

   "Dragon Academy, which was severely attacked, quickly sensed something was wrong, so they responded quickly. At that time, it was too late to ask for support. They thought that if this continued, the seal of the black dragon would be designated. Sooner or later, it will be destroyed, so I can only risk transferring..."

   How terrifying Miraboreas is, the Dragon Academy knows very well. Normally, I worry that the strength of the seal designation is not enough, so that it can break free, so when it is harassed by the various attacks, sneaks, assassinations, etc. of the rebel army, I can't take care of it, and it will happen sooner or later.

   It was too late to ask for help temporarily. The resistance army concentrated most of its strength and exposed all the trump cards of years of operation and careful development on the Scottish soil, so there was only one choice left at the Dragon Academy. Instead of watching the evil dragon's seal go wrong, it is better to send it back to the royal city while the seal is still strong.

  The King City has the Lion King in charge of the holy spear and the court magician who has reached the realm of "magic". The gods must fear their power, and the evil dragon will naturally not be able to overcome any storms.

   is just in a hurry, and the Dragon Academy can't mobilize too large a team. After all, if they can gather such strength, they will not be so overwhelmed. Therefore, the lineup of the team that transported the black dragon was very shabby, and the final result was still unsuccessful.

   "After all, the rebels are very concerned about this matter, almost inevitable, regardless of casualties... Perhaps it should be said that after paying such a huge price, if the final result is still a failure, this is them It is absolutely unacceptable, so no matter how much you lose in the front, you will still have to pile on everything in the back."

  Artoria looked at Xia Ran helplessly: "But at that time, I didn't know the existence of the black dragon, and my attention was also attracted by the fronts opened by the rebel army all over Europe, and Master, you seem to be too Didn't notice the problem..."

   "At that time, my attention was also on the singularity of SE.RA.PH, so I didn't notice..." Xia Ran raised her index finger and scratched her cheek, and said helplessly, "Yes The restraint is activated, Alaya really picked a good time."

   What he said to Fujimaru before was not an excuse, he was very honest and frank from beginning to end, so he never arranged any script, whether it was the rebels and others who were watching It has nothing to do with the Black Dragon, or whether the Chaldeans and his party were caught in the vortex of the situation.

   Even at that time, all his attention was on the singularity of the subspecies on the timeline that just appeared in the future, thinking about how he should get rid of the third beast, Seshoin Kiara, The plan and possibility of acquiring the third magic.

   So, it is definitely the restraining force activated.

  It will always change the scale and appear, but in essence, as an unconscious or pan-conscious thought push, it cannot change reality in a way out of nothing, but in a situation that no one notices Adjust the worldline progression to achieve the result it needs.

   is also promoted through so-called "coincidences", through which it seems to weave fate, influence the people selected by it to make a certain action at the selected time, thereby triggering a series of chain reactions , including the spies of the rebel army lurking, determined to capture the plan of the ancient dragon king they imagined, and the involvement of Chaldea and his party...

   even specially chose to trigger this series of chain reactions in the gaps that the magician just didn't pay attention to. This is very scary.

  "Is the restraint force..." Artoria also felt a little headache, but she could only shake her head helplessly for the time being, "If this is the case, we should start dealing with those rebels, they have become Alaya The most pieces."

   "That's right..." Xia Ran pondered for a while, then nodded, "Anyway, the fire of the prairie has already been ignited, so there is no point in keeping them, so let's get rid of them together."

   The reason why the rebels are kept is to allow them to promote the rapid development of technology and civilization. After all, people are so strange. If they want to forcibly spread advanced technology to the world, many people will be very resistant, desperately opposed, and encounter huge resistance.

   But if they were to be suppressed in another way, while suppressing them, they would stick to their strong technical advantages and make a gesture that would never allow them to get involved, and they would in turn desperately want to snatch, steal, and hang. I also need to get the brain power, I think this is definitely a good thing...

   That's why the rebels have been able to be active until now and grow stronger... But they are no longer needed. The whole world has been aroused by the atmosphere and mentality of an arms race. Countless countries are desperately developing magic technology. It doesn't matter whether there are these people or not.

   Besides, Xia Ran also admitted that Arturia was right. He was somewhat wary of the restraining force. The correction force in this direction could always appear at a value that just surpassed the target, which was a bit scary. Even if he is now, he is only temporarily gaining the upper hand among the singularities that he has managed.

  Compared to Seshoin Kiara or Gaetia, he is also the one who needs to be corrected, but he is very clever to use the contradiction of the restraining force on the planet Earth, at least Gaia will not have anything to him The unpleasant place just offset the correction that Alaya initiated.

  --Getia is a tyrannical tyrant, who not only wants to burn down human beings, but also replaces the existence of the earth, so that it provokes corrections from the two major restraining forces at the same time.

  ——And Sesshoin Kiara, who has no scruples just to satisfy his own desires, has held countless Holy Grail Wars in the singularized marine oilfield base Seraphix.

   This is her predation process, although it is precisely because of this that after countless Holy Grail Wars, she was able to become a Beast larvae... But it is also this process of constant predation that gave Alai Yeah, the chance to fix the twists and threats she brings.

   In a hundred times the flow of time, he constantly actively summoned his followers and devoured them to satisfy his own desire and growth. At the same time, didn't he also give the possibility of being slain by Alaya's Saint Seiya? So this beast of original sin was finally corrected.

  Xia Ran thinks about it now, and feels that he can't be careless, can't always ignore some small threats that have already shown signs, if one goes wrong, he may also capsize.

  …

  …

   at the same time.

  In the waters of the Hebrides Islands in the west of Scotland, steam ironclad ships are passing through the thick fog, scalding heat waves and high temperatures are blowing, as if they are driving near the crater.

  "coming soon..."

   Looking at the changes in the sky ahead, the sky in the distance is covered with creepy clouds and unusual patterns, and there is only a dull air, Skaha said in a deep voice, a certain flashing in his eyes. A strange light.

   "As long as we control this evil dragon, we can directly raid the mainland of Camelot in the next step, and take advantage of the chaos it caused to find an opportunity to rescue Lixiang..." Da Vinci also nodded vigorously, she expressed her concern for the previous The experience was also very embarrassing.

   "I hope so...but before you succeed, you have to work hard. Not everyone in the team is trustworthy." Skaha said calmly.

   "Do you mean...these rebels?" Matthew, who had been uneasy, asked. She looked around, and the outlines of many iron-clad ships looming in the fog.

  "Not just them, I mean in our team..."

  Skaha glanced around, laid down a layer of magic barrier, and said in a low voice.

   "There is a problem with Medea, the power of the previous word spirit is beyond imagination, but she has not suffered any damage at all, her breath has not changed from beginning to end, it is not like she said, she is finding us I have already healed myself before, and I am sure about this..."

   "Also, I found out that she actually carried the legendary Ark of the Covenant." Da Vinci hesitated and added.

  "Eh? Is it the one from the original third singularity?" Matthew was slightly taken aback, "How can Miss Medea have such a thing?"

  "Who knows? But it can't be explained by "coincidence", right? Maybe this time, she is from the Magic King's side again, and is trying to destroy the arrangement of this world by sacrificing the gods to the Ark of the Covenant? We have to be mentally prepared. "

  Da Vinci shook his head, only able to make such a guess.
