Chapter 13: Exploring Again
Looking at his phone, the electronic number clearly told him that it was already noon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoNo wonder the stomach rumbles to convey the voice of dissatisfaction. For a moment, Tsukahara Mingshi had a feeling of returning to the past: the extreme fatigue caused by staying up late and oversleeping was too similar to the way he looked when he slept on the streets.
For some reason, Tsukahara has no home.
Otherwise, it would be strange for a high school student to make a living by doing magic tricks on the streets. Generally speaking, even if you have to work to support yourself, most people will choose other jobs, such as waitress or something.
Tsukahara didn't mention this issue to anyone, including Carl, whom he regarded as a friend and relative.
People who have been sad to the point of heartbreak rarely share their grief with others, firstly, because they will hurt when they mention it, and secondly, the person who listens will also feel the sadness. People who have been hurt are the most sensual and soft, even sad, and absolutely unwilling to let others have similar feelings.
venting his sad deeds everywhere is different from the original intention of Tsukahara Mingshi [bringing laughter to everyone].
He got up easily, and his soft and powerful young body easily supported him to sit up from the bed.
Unlike a certain hypoglycemic lady, Tsukahara Mingshi has long been accustomed to being cold and hungry, and although he is extremely disgusted mentally, his body is extremely resolute and self-motivated.
On the table were delicate tiramisu and sandwich bread, presumably prepared for him by Archer or Carl. Neither of these things is worrying about getting cold, and the sugar also quickly replenishes the body's energy.
While sighing at their carefulness, he ate the food in his stomach, dealt with the hunger simply and roughly, and the pleasure of satisfaction made Tsukahara Mingshi lie back on the bed, took out a manga from his bag and opened it.
The black and white picture is bound by irregular rules and regulations, and the characters in each grid seem to break through this confinement, revealing a powerful force.
But......
"No matter how hard you try, you can't break through the predicament?"
Obviously his favorite manga, the hymn to human courage and wisdom and the golden spirit could not attract his attention.
This is the first time that the focus has shifted from [the characters and plots in the picture] to "the characters and plots are bound by the comic grid".
In a trance, the delicate ...... will flicker in the field of vision Jail.
Yes, prisons.
The plain walls, the elaborate decorative paintings, and all kinds of ornate furniture...... All of them were torture instruments used to imprison young girls.
I don't know why, the heavy sad look on the face of the girl who resembles Archer lingered in his heart.
Simply, he slapped the open comic book on his face, put his hands behind his head, and let the field of vision be dark.
(The girl...... Who is it? Yes...... Archer?Lohia...... Is this her real name...... )
It seems that Carl vaguely mentioned that between the Lord and the Heroic Spirit, they occasionally learn about each other's lives in the form of dreams.
Could it be ......
(Really...... Will I draw Lohia because she's just as lonely as I am?)
"Master, are you resting?"
Suddenly, a very slight female voice came to my ears.
Probably because I was thinking that I could not disturb myself if I was actually sleeping, Archer's voice was very soft.
"Ah, no. It's just lazy. ”
Under the comic book, Tsukahara quickly swept away his worried expression and replaced it with a spiritual smile, and then moved the book away.
Lohia was wearing the white tracksuit she had chosen for her, and her mid-length brown hair was sprinkled on plain white like a quiet stream.
Her appearance was serene, as if she was a little tired, she gasped slightly, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned.
Tsukahara Mingshi unconsciously compared her with the girl in her dream.
(Sure enough, it's the same person.) )
"What's wrong, Master?"
Noticing Tsukahara's careful gaze up and down, Archer Rohia asked strangely.
"No, it's nothing, it's just that you're getting a lot stronger, Archer. ”
Of course, the Master's magic will replenish the strength of the Heroic Spirit.
The most typical example is the Saber, the Knight King, who had three lords in the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars.
Tsukahara Mingshi's magic power can only be said to be inadequate, and it is only because of Carl's chocolate with magical power, on weekdays, it is very tired just to maintain Archer's present life, how can there be a strong value?
Now, though, with Karl's supply, it's different.
(Sure enough, Carl is better than a layman like me.) )
Tsukahara smiled casually, was it self-deprecating, or was he unwilling? Who knows.
"Master?"
"How, the power of the gun?"
"Well, I've done a lot of testing. ”
Archer sat down in her chair, wrapped in a wide white sweatshirt with her soft body, like a quiet big cat, and she collapsed in the chair. It's obviously such a lazy action, but because the person who made the action is a beauty, it bursts out with a decadent beauty. I have to sigh the world's partiality towards beauty: the same action is completely different from that of beautiful people and ugly people. The slightly decadent Archer slowly introduced Tsukahara to this morning's experience in a low tone of weakness and helplessness, mixed with complaints and resentment.
As far as the result goes: the apparition gun just looks funny.
In terms of power, each bullet is equivalent to an E or D rank Phantasm attack, right?
Conventional weapons cannot damage the Immortal, which means that even if you attack the Immortal with a nuclear bomb, the Immortal will remain unscathed.
What makes up the Heroic Spirit is magic, or souls, and there is no way to deal with physical damage to such ethereal things.
That's why there is a strange saying that "only Heroic Spirits can hurt Heroic Spirits".
However, there are exceptions. For example, the ability to add mana to a weapon and then attack, which is close to cheating.
Leonardo da Vinci did something similar to this.
This is thanks to the information provided by Karl about the Holy Grail War. In the Fourth Holy Grail War, the pitch-black berserker had the power to enchant everything he held in his hands and then elevate it to a Noble Phantasm. For example, lampposts, such as fighter jets, such as ...... Vulcan Cannon.
Leonardo da Vinci's development of the Heroic Soul Armament is something similar.
He couldn't make magic props, but he used his knowledge to build a factory-like production line. By analyzing the particularity of the magic way, using modern power engineering to frame its foundation, replacing magic with electricity, and replacing occultism with loops, a new theoretical system is finally constructed.
The most terrifying thing is his speed.
From the time he was summoned to the present, it took no more than seventy-two hours to compose a new theoretical system and structure his production line in such a short time...... This is not something that ordinary people can do.
As for the lack of power of the bullet, it can only be compensated for by relying on the high rate of fire of the firearm. If the power of a single shot is insufficient, then only enough damage can be accumulated.
According to Archer's judgment, if you want to destroy Lacner or Rider, you have to shoot thousands of bullets...... Therefore, this gun can only be regarded as "better than nothing". Even if these two Heroic Spirits were able to sneak up on them in the first blow, it would be difficult for them to continue to hit hundreds of bullets after that.
That's why Archer asked Tsukahara question with "a lot of testing" instead of "this gun is powerful".
Although it is technically excellent, unfortunately, it is not very practical.
However, the fact that the [practicality is not high] is a very good result in itself. Otherwise, if you are self-righteous and hold this kind of tattered provocation and powerful heroic spirit, I am afraid that you will be out of the game all of a sudden.
There is one more catch.
That's when Archer more or less found some shooting feel. He is a master of aiming and sniping, as long as he can find the subtle gap between guns and bows and arrows in aiming, he can quickly get started.
Although she doesn't have clairvoyance skills, as a heroic spirit, her physical fitness is more than a little higher than that of humans, and the biggest advantage of firearms is that they are easy to use and highly versatile, whether they are children, young people, women or the elderly, they can be used. For Heroic Spirits who are better than humans, it is naturally not a difficult task.
[Mastering the use of firearms], this is also a huge gain.
Because, this firearm is different from the regular treasure.
The Noble Phantasm is a symbol of the Heroic Spirit, so after the Apparatus is upgraded to a Noble Phantasm, there will be no major changes in performance. However, weapons are different. If nothing else, when the internal combustion engine was first invented, it was even inferior to the steam engine. However, in modern times, the internal combustion engine is still the main force, but the steam engine is basically gone.
With Leonardo da Vinci's intelligence, it was only a matter of time before more powerful firearms were developed. In the future, if you develop better firearms, you will already have the feeling of shooting, and you will naturally be familiar with the road.
"I see. So, what about Carl?"
After silently listening to Archer's almost complaining statement, Tsukahara nodded and began to ask the friend who was supposed to come back with his heroic spirit.
However, as soon as Karl was mentioned, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Archer's eyes. It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with Carl's deference. In order not to put her master at risk, she could only maintain a deferential attitude towards Karl, but that didn't mean that Archer was really convinced of him.
"In the next room. He didn't come along. ”
She almost muttered a grumbling.
"Ah...... It's a shame......"
Goo――
Just when Tsukahara said this, his stomach suddenly screamed......
The tiramisu and bread I ate before only had a drop in the bucket to satisfy hunger, but rather, the lack of food stimulated the hunger of the stomach.
"I'm sorry Master, let's go on patrol. ”
Archer kindly used [Patrol] to cover up the fact that the Master's hunger was hidden.
"Ah...... Hmmm!!"
