The ninth of them is tentacle plants
Since then, more than half a month has passed.
You and your summoner, the little white beast (supposedly called QB), have been committed to the sewers. This city is said to have been built by magicians in the 12th century, with intricate and deep tunnels underneath that are intertwined, and unfortunately you and your summoner are lost here.
Yes, it does look like you've come to a strange world.
This world calls spells magic, and legendary spells seem to correspond to magic? From your summoner, Sylvia Bionson, you can tell her admiration for magic, which should be at least the level of legendary spells.
London, the famous city on the ground, is said to be the first time in a country, the economy and culture are quite prosperous, the prime minister of the country with a political system from the dark region that you can't understand, the queen of England is completely reduced to a portrait printing press and mascot.
And where ordinary people who don't know magic don't know are hidden hidden in the magic association, one of the largest organizations in the world, the headquarters of the Clock Tower. It is said to have been born in the first year of the Common Era, and was led by the three nobles of Barsermelo, Tranbellio, and Baru Yeretta, under which the twelve lords were in charge of the thirteen departments of the whole foundation, the individual foundation, the sΓ©ance, the ore family, the animal family, the inheritance department, the celestial department, the creation department, the curse department, the archaeology department, the modern magic department, and the law and politics department.
Beyond that.
It is said that the nobles also formed three factions according to their careful preferences. Led by Barsermelo, who is said to be the most troublesome and troublesome but also powerful, he believes that the operation of the clock tower should be entrusted to the [aristocracy] of excellent aristocratic blood; Centered on Tranbellio, it included the [democracy] of another nobleman, Baruyeretta, who believed that even if the blood was not satisfactory, it should appoint more talented young people; Of course, there is also the [neutrality] centered on Meastia, which only cares about studying other things.
With blood as a bond, the main family, divisions, alliances, and magic departments of the magician family are entangled with each other, spreading across this city that is said to be 800 years old, radiating its power to Western Europe. The other two headquarters of the Magic Association are on the Egyptian side, and the other is completely closed, basically only nominally united, which means that the city above you is controlled by a behemoth, and it is quite difficult to escape.
"But I don't want to escape. I still have a job in the Department of Justice and Politics, and after all, you forcibly brought me out. β
Your summoner grumbled, and you could only smile and not dare to say more.
Originally, you thought that your summoner summoned you because of a siege, but then you explained it clearly, and you found out that there was a big oolong. But even if you return to the ground now, you won't hand over the bad-faced QB in your arms, will you...... It's a bit nasty to say, but you do feel inexplicably relieved when you're with QB.
"I'm sorry Sylvia, you know I didn't mean to."
"If it is useful to apologize, what do you have for the Aurors!"
"Shouldn't a mage obediently study spells, how to improve his strength by catching people everywhere, pointing to the hope of breaking through the legend one day."
"I don't know what you're saying, but the Aurors' words are generally elite magicians, the kind that are not good at research but good at using."
Gossiping, you and your summoner walk silently through the tunnels.
It is said that it also served as a subway tunnel, but I don't know when it was abandoned, and the tunnel large enough to accommodate large structures is dark and dark, and you can only hold on to the small light source that you summon to make around you. Occasionally, you'll be able to perform the same stunts you used to survive in the dark regions, finding something that is barely edible from the dark corners. Your summoner doesn't look much disgusted, and in her words, these are better than the cockroach piles she used to buy around the school...... What are all those magicians eating, or is this a national specialty?
One day, you hear something different.
It was like the sound of a snake wriggling on the ground, and judging by the number of them, there were at least three thousand. In any case, there is no such thing as a group of snakes of that size, either there is a powerful mage (the magician of this world) here, or all the little-known magical beasts, phantom beasts, and at the very least, the guards of some kind of underground mechanism,
So you can't help but cheer up, keep your summoner behind you, and watch your surroundings vigilantly. The snakes are getting louder and louder, and you hear something different from them, it's the messy footsteps of humans, someone being chased. When you make such a judgment, you finally judge from the interference of the echo where it came from.
It's the right!
You turn your head abruptly, your fists clenched fiercely. You and your loved one were standing like a sloping crossroads, so the protruding rocks blocked your view. The sound of the chased footsteps gradually expands, and you gradually increase the strength in your body, and the scales on your body gradually stand up.
"Be careful, Sylvia, she's a strong guy."
Although the perceived breath is [unexpectedly not good], every sense is telling oneself, no, it is an illusion, that guy is very strong and troublesome. If you're sure it's an enemy, you'll be able to kill that guy in one hit.
Then, you see the man, a young boy who looks about the same age as your summoner, maybe older. His pale face was flushed by being chased, his sweat-soaked black hair lay on top of his head, his eyes were strangely red, and his face was very handsome, but it always gave you the illusion that the guy was thinking about something that he was not beating. From the black trench coat he was wearing, several tentacles stretched out of his body, and his body was moving at high speed, judging by the eyeballs above, it should be a living creature.
Overall, the first impression was not bad.
Then, you hear the whispered exclamation of the summoner beside you.
"Lord Hersin?!!!"
Is that the one your summoner has a crush on and is guilty of? You look at him, and the other party also notices you, and he pauses slightly, and turns to you.
"Hey, two over there, help!" The scream was so loud that your first good impression of him disappeared in an instant.
But in the next second, you ignore his cowardly contempt, grab your summoner and run away.
"Why are there so many tentacle plants?"
What came out of the tunnel was not the snakes you imagined, but the thick and slippery plant tentacles, which looked like vines, but cracked a hideous bloody mouth at the top, and the bite might kill you. There's no way, you're going to have to run with that magician named Lynn.
"Hell, how did you get into trouble with those things!"
"I'm just secretly cutting off a small spiritual vein from the plant department, really, I swear it's just a small aquatic spiritual vein. As a result, the group of Yumi's family went crazy and sent all the magicians to arrest me, really, why did they blame me when I left London after stealing the spirit vein, and how did they find me! I'm immune to language magic. β
"I think it should be the previous curse incident, there was also a water attribute spirit vein that was stolen, and I wanted to curse it through magic, and the result was indeed the entire clock tower. A magician who can keep himself out of the matter so accurately is rare even in the Clock Tower, plus Hai Xinqing You left just right, it should be directly investigated on you, and the result was found from your home. β
You look at your summoner in some surprise, the opposite of the little girl before, the moment Lynn approached, your summoner was expressionless, as if he had used some special magic. The title to him also changed from the kind Lord Helxin to the indifferent Helsinqing in an instant, no matter how you look at it, something happened to the two of them.
Lynn's expression confirmed what you thought, and he looked at Sylvia not as if he saw a familiar person, but just nodded as if he saw a passerby.
Interesting.
You think in your heart.
Something interesting may have happened to these two people.
The tentacle plants behind them are persevering in pursuit, biting the back of the three of you, in fact, it is very simple for you to avoid those things, as long as you don't take the same path with this Lynn, those tentacle plants should have been given special instructions to deal with Lynn. You can't do that, though, because your summoner is secretly looking at Lynn with a cold face, and it might be frustrating for her to leave just like that.
Trapped underground in the city of London was your fault, and you didn't want to let that go through.
"Go this way!"
Lynn said suddenly, as if he was quite familiar with the London underground. I don't know when I've been leading you as a team leader.
After passing through a few corners, the passage ahead suddenly opened up. It was a huge hemispherical underground space, and Sylvia's face was full of surprise, and she didn't know that there was such a big hole in the bottom of London.
"There's a big hollow in the ground of London, and there's a chalice in it that's been kept since the founding of the city, and I've heard of it as an official British nobleman and a member of the Tower of Watches. However, although it is hidden here, it seems to be useless, and it has not been put to good use, and even if someone makes a small steampunk kingdom here, no one will find out. β
Seeing your surprised look, Lynn explained proudly.
"When you get here, those plants shouldn't be chasing after you...... Sylvia! β
If you don't pay attention, the tentacle plants that have just bitten behind you will rush up and tie her up like a rice dumpling, holding her high in the air. Seeing the hideous fangs on the plant, you gritted your teeth and prepared to rescue her.
However, there are people who are faster than you.
Dozens of arrays emerged from the air, forming a hemispherical shape that surrounded the exit of the tunnel, encompassing all the tentacle plants. Then, from those flying runes, the scorching and precise pillars of light sliced through the plants wrapped around Sylvia like a knight's sword, as easily as a hot knife sliced through cream.
Sure enough, your feeling is not wrong, this guy is very strong, but he doesn't seem to have much momentum (magic) on his body. Linked to the stealing of the spiritual veins mentioned earlier, you can easily think of the shortcomings of this guy, the magic power of using these magic tricks is all plundered from the spiritual veins, and then released with yourself as the terminal, so you need to steal it.
Well, after all, you are a legendary-level half-dragon person, and you have seen and heard from another world, so it is normal to have this kind of cognition.
"Thank you."
Sylvia whispers a thank you, then hides behind you.
"Do you want to know what happened to the two of them?"
The little white beast hidden in its arms popped up, and the broken expression on its face seemed to be pretended.
"I can tell you."

PS: The Great Cavity in London's Underground is based on the FGO Chapter 4 setting...... When Aunt Sakurai was thinking about this plot, was she crazy to watch the setting of Fuyuki City?
PS2: When I wrote this heresy, Mita's II event book and FGO didn't come out, and I will cover the part that conflicts with the type moon, after all, this book is still in the category of comics
