Stray Chapter 71: Harvest
The realm of the magician is indeed terrifying, and it is possible to turn the impossible into the possible.
In the world of fate, "magic" is defined as something that is impossible for magic or science and technology in the current era. When an event can be accomplished with time and money, no matter how difficult it is, it is not considered magic.
However, this definition is actually not strict, and it can even be said that it is just a perfunctory explanation of the level of magic and magic.
Because when human civilization is still in its infancy, all magic is magic, but with the advancement of science and technology, the "things that can be done" with human hands have increased, while magic has decreased relatively .
For example, in the uncivilized era of primitive people, when there is no way to obtain fire, if someone can start a fire out of thin air, this is naturally magic... But with the advancement of human technology, a lighter can do it. It is impossible for this phenomenon to be regarded as magic.
Therefore, the number of "magic" remaining in modern times is very rare, down to only five.
But if you look carefully, you will find that the five dharmas that remain in modern times are actually very special. Judging from various signs, they are fundamentally different from the so-called "magic" that has been degraded.
Such as "parallel world interference", such as "soul materialization"... These are true miracles that cannot be achieved by relying on manpower no matter how much time and technology it takes.
It is definitely not the so-called "magic" that is compared with the technical content of the primitive era with a lighter.
But even so, Xia Ran does not feel that the magician is his ultimate goal, and even his current main goal is to lock in the upper level of the standard system of space - that is, the wanderer above the lost .
And it's only the main goal for now, not the real end...
“…”
The knight girl stared at him blankly, as if she didn't know why he seemed to become full of energy all of a sudden, as if she started to move in one direction with a clear goal, just like her before.
It's not the kind of madness that is desperate, like being chased by something, running desperately at all times, being spurred by something, not letting go for a second... but preparing for a protracted battle, Then start to approach that goal firmly.
Will not deviate from the direction, keep approaching the goal, just as she is determined, even if she wants to fall into endless reincarnation, she will never be redeemed, but as long as she has the possibility of realizing her wish after infinite battles , she will never stop.
Two times if it fails once, three times if it fails two times, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times if it fails three times... As long as you don't stop, there will always be a day when you successfully reach the finish line.
So it's a bit strange. Even before, she still felt that this person seemed to be out of tune with the whole world. Many times, even if she was serious, she still concealed a trace of leisure and indifference. Means—
It seems that his seriousness is only the level of seriousness in playing games. Although he wants to win seriously, it doesn't matter if he loses...
That's why she didn't understand. Could it be that tonight, in addition to being greatly stimulated by the death of Irisviel, the truth of the Holy Grail, and the fall of Lancelot, this guy was also greatly stimulated. What stimulus?
But she was aware of this change, but she didn't bother to ask the bottom line. Instead, she began to carefully look at the surrounding environment. By the way, she carefully digested the extra information in her mind again. It's not that you should believe what Xia Ran said, and continue to pursue the concept of miracles full of motivation...
Or as the magician said, sooner or later, he will reach the level where he can create miracles himself? At least from what I've received, this seems to be a given.
The existence of the lost, either died in the middle, and was worthless and could not even keep a name; or it grew to a very high level in a relatively short period of time, and may not leave a certain world in a certain world. According to legend, maybe just breathing can affect the quality of the year, the rotation of the earth...
Compared to this kind of gods from other worlds, heroic spirits are only legends and objects of belief in a certain world because of their great deeds after death.
On the other side, after Xia Ran finished bewitching, she ignored Artoria who was sitting there dumbfounded.
Anyway, after the psychological counseling is done, it is up to her to figure it out by herself.
Besides, she doesn't want to reveal and can't change the fact. Her points are all paid in one go, and the rules of the space have already transferred her household registration from Alaya and implemented it under her own system.
At this time, could this foolish king still prepare to go back to the countryside because he thinks there are too many routines in the city?
Speaking of which, Xia Ran couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he thought of points. The large amount of points he accumulated this time was basically spent on transferring his account to Saber——
Obviously, according to the experience of other psychics and lost people, taking away guardian spirits and capturing Pokémon in the mission world... these actions are all logical things.
It's like the lost person got the equipment item in the quest world, and he brought it back when he brought it back. I've never heard of an extra fee.
However, the reason given by Space is also very well-founded - those guardian spirits, elves, etc., once they start, they really start, just like the equipment that exploded, whoever gets it is whoever gets it.
However, the Heroic Spirit is different, because it is originally a temporary contract, and its original nature is even a limited-term employment relationship, just look at the Holy Grail War.
It was originally a relationship of coming over to make a cameo appearance and then leaving the stage. There is no rule that once summoned, it is a bound familiar belonging to the corresponding summoner, who will work long-term for a lifetime.
If you want to abduct people from the original world and change the contract from temporary work to long-term work, how could Xia Ran not need to pay some fees?
Also, Artoria's situation is fundamentally different from other Heroic Spirits. She is still alive, not a clone. In theory, when there is information in the audience, the seance will get the average amount of money. They are all information about Heroic Spirits, and those copied are also Servants.
Under normal circumstances, there is no way for the heroic spirit to be pulled out of the seat. It is a weapon that can only be summoned by the world.
But Artoria is different. Even if the information is recorded, her body is not present at all, but is fixed in the history of the battle of the sword fence. Once there is a call from the other side of time and space, She will be directly pulled over to fight...
This is the reason why she can't be spiritualized, because she is the living person, not like other summoned servants, just a replica of intelligence combined with magic power, in a sense, a spiritual life form.
So Xia Ran, who didn't expect this, found that her idea was successful, but was slashed very hard by the space, which was equivalent to directly inviting powerful plot characters in the mission world to join the team... …
"At least it proves that this method does work, but there is not much room for operation, and I can't afford the money..."
He sighed and stared at the ball of light in mid-air for a long time, wondering what he was thinking about.
It is no wonder that most of the gods in the previous Elder Scrolls world chose to smuggle, because this method basically does not work, and the wanderers who can pay the invitation fee are not inferior to the power of the gods. The gods simply did not dare to pin their hopes on that existence.
And they are sure that the lost people can afford to eat and live, but they can't pay for the invitation, so if you want to go through this normal, space-recognized procedure, there is basically nothing to escape from the original world. count on.
Anyway, now that the money and goods are over, he is no longer tangled. He can only comfort himself that he has improved his basic attributes by such a large amount, and has obtained a lot of good equipment and skills, and even the money to upgrade the warehouse in the future All of them were saved in advance... No matter what, I made a big profit.
He had already allocated all the free attribute points that the Ebony Blade extracted from the black mud and fed back. A total of 105 free attribute points were collected, almost catching up with the value of one attribute of the obsidian pod.
If the harvest of each mission is at the current level, instead of taking the minimum guarantee, then he will transfer all the equipment and skills he has acquired, and even convert the karma crystals into points, which are specially used to maximize the improvement of basic attributes. If so, at least three missions are required to complete the accumulation.
As expected, the grass is not fat. It's a pity that compared with the deeds of the new demigods in the previous world, Xia Ran felt that the weeds in his mouth were not fragrant... Although he said that at the beginning The expectation is fifty or sixty points.
But then I heard the prompt sound almost every second, plus he was tortured by the malicious torment of the black mud at that time, it was very difficult to carry it down, and naturally he lost his accurate grasp of the sense of time... He I really thought that I had at least boiled for four or five minutes.
Without any hesitation, intelligence and spirit were each allocated 30 points, which increased from double 69 to double 99 points, and this is a real attribute, no other bonuses are calculated.
The remaining points, Xia Ran decisively invested in the two ability values of agility attribute and perception attribute. The former invested 20 points and the latter invested 25 points, so that the two attributes reached 50 points and 75 points respectively. ——
The former is because he feels that it is necessary to continue to strengthen his own reaction ability, which is not only related to the speed of casting spells, but also to improve the overall reaction ability. Otherwise, no matter how fast the casting speed is, you can't see the attack of others, you can't avoid the danger at the critical moment, and you will be killed without even time to react...
As for the latter, there is no need to say much.
As far as strength and physique are concerned, they belong to the secondary position in the secondary. If you can encounter the same opportunity as the previous strengthening potion in the future, it is naturally the best to strengthen it. If not, Xia Ran will also No dedicated resources are intended.
After adding points, the next step is to organize the equipment and skills that you can use.
Lancelot's key has the highest gold content, and his skills show "Infinite Martial Arts" and "Knights Don't Die With Their Own Hands", and the equipment shows the sword paired with the Oath of Victory. "The Undestructed Lake Light".
It just lost the qualification of the holy sword and degenerated into a version of the magic sword, not the original version.
Anyway, it's something that Xia Ran can use, so she can leave it for her own use.
Among the magic engravings revealed by Emiya Kiritsugu, there is the accumulation of the Emiya family's research on time manipulation over the past dynasties. Among them, it is confirmed that they have the skill of "inherent time control", which needs attention.
The rest are the origin bullets. There were originally 66 bullets, but now only 26 bullets fell into Xia Ran's hands. The rest were used by Emiya Kiritsugu before.
The space isn't going to be filled for him either.
The attribute effect of the origin bullet is very powerful. After all, it is the conceptual weapon transformed by the origin of the righteous partner. It is not only effective for magicians, but also for all people who rely on the special "energy circuit" property to exercise abnormal abilities. goals are valid.
At least according to the comments, Xia Ran has no doubt that it can also have an effect on systems such as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
Well, you can consider using it as a hole card with one hand and one less hand...
