Stray Chapter 25: Crossing the tower

"After all, we just came to this place not long ago, and we are also smeared..." Da Vinci explained helplessly at the side, it's not that she is unprofessional, but the conditions are too bad ah.

"But it's not that there is no information at all. Before we set off, we did observe some uncertain things, such as the age and location, but we can't fully confirm it yet..."

After hesitating for a while, Matthew said softly, looking somewhat hesitant, as if he didn't know if he should tell Mordred about this.

Intelligence exchange is a must, this is very important, and she knows the truth, but when it comes to the end, she can't help but be a little worried. After all, everyone knows what happened to the legend of King Arthur.

And the character of the rebellious knight in front of me is too distorted... If it doesn't work, it's a big problem.

"Oh, what is it, let's talk about it first..." The beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes said a little impatiently.

"The time we observed at the beginning was around the fifth century AD, and the location was the British Isle." Da Vinci took over and informed such a piece of information. She quickly weighed it and felt that it was not bad.

If this singularity is really related to the legend of "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table", it really needs the power of this rebellious knight. After all, Mordred is the one who ended the legend of King Arthur. .

Just like in the first singularity, in the face of the evil dragon phenomenon like Fafnir, a special dragon-slaying hero like Siegfried was needed to deal with it. Da Vinci judged that he could Prepare in advance.

“…”

“…”

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat quiet.

Mordred frowned deeply, probably not expecting that she would hear such a message. After finally digesting it, her eyes changed obviously, and she seemed to be full of anxiety and unease. As if with some kind of pleasure and anticipation.

She was about to say something, but then she seemed to sense something and turned to look at the distant horizon.

"There are other servants who are approaching, do you know each other..." She said this, reminding the three Chaldeans, and then she realized that this seemed unnecessary.

Because Fujimaru Rika and Matthew looked at each other, they were already subconsciously prepared before she could say the warning words. Matthew raised the cross shield and took two steps. blocked the front of the team.

Fujimaru Rika also shook her head again and again: "No, we are just three of us here."

As early as the London singularity, they had fought side by side with Mordred, and they were very familiar with the style of this maiden knight, and also knew that her perception ability was quite outstanding, belonging to a high-level intuition skill.

It's almost always the one that first noticed something was wrong before the enemy appeared, often without any mistakes.

The girl knight also glanced at the two strangely, but she didn't bother with this strange feeling. After all, didn't the other party say it? I have fought with myself before, although I don't have this memory now.

"Hahaha, I can meet you like this, I thought there would be no living people in this place..."

The next moment, there was quite a hearty laughter, and a knight like a prince charming appeared quickly and approached.

He just appeared as if the sun was shining through the dust and haze in the sky, piercing the deadly oppressive gloom, and illuminating the ground. I don't know if it was an illusion, but in a word, it was a depressing and gloomy environment. All of a sudden it became much brighter.

Just—

"Wait! Mordred? How are you—!!"

The knight who just appeared in everyone's field of vision also saw Mordred's figure from a distance with the strong eyesight of the Servant.

Like a prince-like knight, the gentle smile on his face froze in an instant, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and dangerous: "You dare to appear in front of me——!!"

"What, it turns out to be Gawain, but it's just a ghost under my sword, what's so arrogant..."

Mordred pouted, and after sensing the undisguised sharp hostility, he knew that this matter could not be good, so he resolutely launched a mockery.

"A traitor! Die!"

The furious Gawain had already pulled out the sword from the scabbard. At that moment, it was really dazzling, as if a sun had jumped out of his scabbard.

In the hilt is a sun-shaped sword that resembles the sun. It is the same as the sword of sworn victory held by King Arthur. It is a sister sword given by the fairy in the lake. Corresponding to the sword and the king who received the protection of the moon, he and this sword received the blessing of the sun.

"Come on, who's afraid of you!"

Mordred sneered, the hatred wrapped around the sword of the magic sword turned into a surging magic power and twisted, and once again radiated straight red lightning.

The conflict between the two led to the result of the sword drawn in an instant. Although it is said that each time the Servant is re-summoned, the Servant is to start a new experience, but it does not mean that their memories will be reset during their lifetime. .

So, just as Darius III was to the Conqueror, and Gilgamesh or Enkidu was to Ishtar, some grievances are not so easy to let go.

Similarly, as a loyal seat of the Knights of the Round Table, Gawain certainly cannot have any good opinion of Mordred. In his memory, this rebellious knight not only launched a rebellion, He killed himself and trampled on the king's great cause.

This is absolutely unforgivable. His anger and hatred for Mordred even surpassed Lancelot's stigma that shamed everyone!

"Wait, wait, can you listen to me first..."

Fujimaru Rika's scalp is about to explode. The current situation doesn't seem right. The two of them seem to have a life and death decision as soon as they meet. One dead and one serious injury?

The situation of this singularity has not yet been confirmed. The guardian heroes who are spontaneously summoned by the human body must first kill each other?

But at this time, the Servant's reaction appeared again in the distance, and another Servant galloped from the end of the horizon.

Mordred just glanced at it, and couldn't help sneering: "Lancelot is here too, you and I don't seem to be an exception. This time, we may meet different people. Little acquaintance..."

"Lancelot..." Gawain's expression changed.

“…”

“…”

It's over!

Fujimaru Rika didn't have time to say anything. At this moment, I just felt that there was a dark feeling in front of me. These guys who had great grudges in their lifetimes were all gathered together?

So this time, before the Human Rehabilitation begins, we have to fight a round-table civil war?

……

……

Deep in the British Isles, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Camelot.

The nascent chalk city is still brightly lit under the night, and for outsiders, no matter how well-informed, they will be shocked when they first arrive at this ideal city.

And for the residents who have long been familiar with this royal capital... and also occasionally, when they look at this splendid city that never sleeps, they will feel like a dream. strong sense of unreality.

Although they witnessed it with their own eyes, and even made noise with their own hands, they clearly knew how this city emerged from nothing and stood on the ground.

But because of this, it feels unusually unreal - is this really a city they built with their own hands? Can they really do such a thing? Without exception, I ask myself subconsciously.

The result is also obvious. Although they are indeed working very hard, it seems that even without them, it will not affect the appearance of this city.

The rapid prosperity of the chalk city has benefited from the correct rule of the Lion King, thanks to her unrivaled leadership qualities, thanks to her gradual restoration of lost ground over the years, smashing barbarians, and driving out all kinds of dangers and threats , and finally reproduce the former glory of Camelot

It also benefited from the promotion of the mysterious magician's various activation machines and golem technologies. Although the other party has gradually disappeared over the years, it seems that no news has come out, so many people only know The prestige of the Lion King, without knowing the existence of court magicians.

But as the first group of people to rise with the new dynasty, they still know that in the southeast corner of the relatively flat capital, the tallest place in the world stands, the tower of glory lives in a tower of glory. A very wise and powerful magician.

Many novelties over the years are still the work of the magician, such as the telegraph in the post office, the electric lights on the street, the steamboat on the White River surrounding the capital, and the sky Various hot air balloons, airships, etc.

It's just that other people don't have such insight. Many people don't know the existence of the magician. Some people even think that the appearance of those things is a matter of course. As usual, it seems to be part of the original order of the world.

For such a situation, the residents of the capital naturally have a wonderful sense of pride and restraint. After all, a sense of superiority is inevitable. They know these things, but others don't. It doesn't just show that their qualifications are better. old?

But it's not a secret that must be kept, and they don't have any sense of secrecy. They just regard this kind of thing as a show of capital. They can say it at some point, understating their seniority, Knowledgeable.

So under the inquiries of an old man named Zhusudra, I quickly learned about it.

"An unknown court magician?"

Under the illumination of the street lamps on the edge of the square, the old man looked at the Tower of Glory standing in the southeast. It is said to be the highest point in the world. The pillar of light that penetrates the sky seems to be distorted, and it is more clearly visible at night. .

He is an out-of-spec Servant, the pinnacle of assassins, so he will naturally try his best to find out the information before he starts, and he did not make a rash decision because of his own guesses. Therefore, after the incarnation of the old man mixed into the city of chalk, he successfully detected something.

I thought that the Lion King should be the culprit behind this singularity, but now... there seems to be a mysterious magician?

Although the old man is a man who is enslaved by the mandate of heaven, his karma transcends the realm of masters, but he is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he has only just appeared in the world. Although the revelation from heaven or restraint has given him a lot of usefulness information, but it is not comprehensive enough.

However, whether it is or not, just go and find out.

It's not too late to make a decision by then.

Quietly, without being discovered by anyone, the figure of the assassin disappeared in place, as if he had never visited this splendid city that never sleeps for a long time, leaving no breath at all.

When he reappeared, he had already entered the interior of the Tower of Glory through unknown means.

When he was summoned before, the swordsman had already seen the style of the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows. Although they did not intersect with each other, the height of the other party was not inferior to him at all—

Whether it is the invincible magic spear, or the ancient rune magic that he masters, he has the ability to step into the realm of the gods.

However, the fact that the opponent does not move does not mean that he cannot make any moves either. He specializes in the arts. As a top assassin, this mysterious swordsman as the first generation of Hassan is incomparable in areas such as infiltration and assassination. comparative advantage.

He was like a ghost that didn't exist, without triggering any alarms or defensive techniques, he climbed all the way along the tower, and soon came to the top of the tower.

The space at the top of the tower is empty, only the central platform is restrained by a powerful magic formula. column".

One more...

Wearing a black robe, with long hair falling like a waterfall, a magician with a mysterious temperament.

He stood quietly in front of the holy spear, as if he was gently and patiently waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Humans? No, not human!

The unconventional huge power has overflowed from the human container, causing the swordsmen to feel a shudder, which shows that the opponent's power has reached an unbelievable level.

“…!!”

It's almost an instant thing, the swordsman with the skeleton mask has already made up his mind, all this is the instruction of God, the person in front of him is the one who will kill! And the big sword in his hand also smashed through the void in an instant, and came to the magician in an instant.

"It really doesn't look like an assassin at all. I didn't expect you to come directly to the door like this. But yes, you will forcibly assassinate the pharaoh several times in the great temple. People..."

Amidst this flash of lightning, the magician's leisurely voice sounded.

"Unfortunately, this tower is not a mere shrine, and I am not only an opponent of the level of Osmandis..."

——It's obvious that everything happens in an instant.

——There was nothing unusual or wrong, and the swordsman didn't feel any hindrance.

But it seems that the moment the other party speaks, fast and slow, first and last, the realm is directly subverted. The assassin's great sword slashed at lightning speed, but he was unable to hit the target before the magician's slow words fell.
