Stray Chapter 32: Discord
"Okay, let's not talk too much. If there is no problem, then it is not too late. Let's go straight now."
Skaha looked at Fujimaru Rika up and down, and after confirming that his targeted magic was indeed working, he decisively brought the topic back.
After all, she is not too interested in the love-hate relationship between Romani Achiman, the head of Chaldea's medical department, and the virtual Internet idol Magic☆Merry, and she is not too interested in learning about it. Strange knowledge like "VTuber".
"Speaking of which, this is the Isle of Skye, so how should we go to Britain next? Although geographically speaking, the distance is not too far... But after all, there are so many people that they should need some transportation. Something like that?"
Mash wondered, and subconsciously looked at Da Vinci.
After all, she is an almighty genius, so it is understandable for others to have such expectations of her.
The same is true for others, including Mordred, Lancelot and others. Although they are active in different ages and regions, it is difficult to interact even with their peers, but when summoning the physical world, the Servant The given common sense often includes knowledge about other Servants.
Even if I had never heard of such a thing before, or the other party didn't exist at all when I was alive, it would have no effect.
Therefore, for Leonardo Da Vinci, an Italian polymath, one of the three great masters of the Renaissance, and a unique all-rounder in human history, they are also aware of his reputation and ability, so naturally they are led by Matthew, expecting This genius can come up with something.
The scene at this moment feels like Nobita, Fat Tiger and others are watching Doraemon expectantly, waiting for the latter to pull out some magical device or prop from his almighty pocket. .
However, Da Vinci didn't seem to agree with this either. It would be better to say that she was very happy to be expected by everyone, so she smiled directly: "Yes, it's time for me to show my skills... "
"No need, we can go directly by boat, and now we can go directly to buy tickets..."
Skaha gave everyone a strange look, and then a fluttering sentence interrupted Da Vinci's behavior, which seemed to be preparing to take out some strange magic tool.
“…”
“…”
There is a strange silence.
The smile on the face of the almighty genius froze, and the movement to take out something was frozen. Even Chaldea's communication was suddenly silent for a while until the needle was dropped.
Fujimaru Rika and the others looked at each other, and after a long while, she confirmed that she heard correctly:
"Go directly by boat? Sorry, Miss Skaha...I don't quite understand what that means?"
"It means literally, just take the boat and go there. What's so hard to understand?" Skaha said lightly.
"Ah? Oh, so that's how it is..." Fujimaru Rika nodded subconsciously, and responded in a dizzy manner, but only then did she react, and she quickly shook her head vigorously, shaking her head like a rattle. General—
"Ah no, no, that's not what I-I said, I mean... I mean... yes, yes! Buy a ticket! That's right, just buy a ticket, Miss Skaha, you just said What do you mean by this word..."
“…”
“…”
"Huh? What do you mean by buying a ticket? Don't you know this? I thought you should have such a concept in your era. The transportation has become very convenient. You only need to buy some corresponding boarding vouchers. You can go to other places or something..."
Skaha frowned, thought about it for a moment, and tried to explain it to them.
She originally thought that this should be a matter of course, a well-understood thing, but why does this group of modern people seem to not understand? Did they come from some remote country?
"No, no, I didn't say that..." The girl felt that her thinking was becoming more and more confusing, and it took a while to sort out her thoughts. "I mean, why is there such a thing happening at this time!"
“…”
“…”
Is that what you meant? Skaha sighed, knowing that they hadn't actually changed their minds, and hadn't yet had a correct understanding of this singularity.
"Why can't there be? The Age of Gods is just synonymous with a very high degree of mystery, not the meaning of backward technology. Such a high degree of mystery, such a dense concentration of pure magic power, is most suitable for the development of magic, and magic is highly developed enough to achieve All this..."
The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows turned around calmly, facing the sea breeze, and pointed her finger to a certain direction on the island——
"As I said, on the other side of the island, a port was built about half a year ago and a small town developed, although I don't know what resources are worthy of their development on this island, Maybe it's simply a supply point in the middle of the route?"
"But all in all, the route is still open, so there will be steamships passing by here from time to time, possibly for docking and replenishment, and occasionally you can see the magic airship, anyway, you can always reach the land of Britain smoothly..."
Although Skaha did stay in the Land of Shadows all the time and didn't do anything rashly, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know anything. After the "Sky Motion Domain" appeared, expanded and covered the whole world, she Start paying attention to changes in the outside world.
So, she naturally knows the changes and developments of the world pattern from that point until now.
"This is the route map of the whole of Europe, with the island of Britain as the center and radiating to all directions. There are mainly several sea routes. The Isle of Skye is just on the branch of this one. I don't know if the sea train will not It will be built, and it is said that Camelot has such a plan."
With a slight wave of her hand, the runes were condensed and constructed, and a substantial picture was drawn, which appeared in the hands of the dark purple long-haired beauty. She Shi Shiran opened the picture in her hand, facing the surrounding The crowd explained with gestures——
"As the absolute central hub currently ruling the European magic world, Camelot probably wants to completely grasp the lifeblood of the whole of Europe, but for now, it is very convenient for us, at least the steam ferry and the magic airship are indeed All of them have set up sending and receiving stations on the port of this island..."
"The ferry should be every three days. There will be a departure today. It will leave at noon. If you miss it, you will have to wait for the next one. However, you may encounter merchant ships passing by occasionally. You can also take them. It’s just that the uncertainty is too great, for example, whether there are any merchant ships passing by, I don’t know, and whether they are going to Britain or not…”
"As for the magic airship, this cycle is even longer. It should take half a month for one to pass by the Isle of Skye, so we should not wait for this. It's not realistic..."
“…”
“…”
Faced with explanations like the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, as if the tour guide was introducing the next itinerary, everyone was naturally silent for a while.
Because there seems to be something wrong with this style, it's a bit too surreal.
Steam ferry...
Magic Airship...
There is also an overly magical sea train construction plan...a route map that seems to cover the whole of Europe...
And it's only in Europe. It sounds like the subtext is that the convenience brought by magic technology has affected the whole world. After all, it is said that Camelot has become the central hub to rule the European magic circle, and it is necessary to completely grasp the lifeblood of the entire Europe. What.
In just a few words, Skaha has already vividly outlined the true outline of this singularity for everyone.
Although it is only the tip of the iceberg, it is clear that this era not only was not burned by the magic king's human principles, but was completely burnt out and turned into a crimson earth, on the contrary, a civilization of the age of gods with highly developed magic has developed.
Even Lancelot and other Knights of the Round Table widened their eyes subconsciously, so shocked that they didn't know what to say.
Is this really the era they are familiar with?
In the end, it was still in the communication, and the doctor's reluctant laughter was heard, and the silence was broken: "Ahahahaha... It's really shocking, it seems that this singularity is indeed completely beyond us. past experience..."
Not really.
Whether it is the first singularity or the second singularity, whether it is the Evil Dragon Hundred Years War or the Perpetual Crazy Empire, there are basically wars everywhere, and there are no intact villages and towns to be seen, only destruction and burning after the ruins.
The third singularity is on the sea, hard to see on land, let alone formed societies, civilizations, countries, etc...
The fourth singularity is in the magical fog of London. Basically, the whole city is a dead city. Even the clock towers of that era have been wiped out, killing a clean, ordinary person. How could he possibly survive?
The last is the last singularity. The whole of North America is also reduced to the scorched earth of doomsday. The Mad King Cuchulain is probably the full embodiment of Cuchulain, the beast in human skin—
Just like in the Ulster legend of the appalling "Six Circles Massacre", in addition to countless soldiers, he also killed countless women and children...and the form of the mad king is probably this part of his nature The full embodiment of the , no matter how you look at it is a vicious beastmaster.
So he doesn't need the people, he doesn't need soldiers, whether it's the enemy's or his own, all of it! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed! Those who do not resist are also shot to death!
He slaughtered the weak with overwhelming force, killing anything alive when he saw it, killing himself until he was killed... Because of such a code of conduct, that should be the closest to modern North American singularity Also nothing was left.
Only burnt scorched earth, destroyed ruins.
So we can't completely blame Chaldea and others for not being able to change their thinking. After all, the baptism of five singularities in succession and the long journey across history have inevitably made them form a certain mindset. The potential, subconsciously applied based on past experience...
So much so that in this singularity, it never occurred to me that what we were facing was not an era that was destroyed, devastated, and devastated, but a completely different era...
New world.
