——AD.1573——

"[Full engineering, completed, crown - seniors beware! 】”

Arriving at the new peculiarity, Matthew suddenly raised his shield and rushed in front of Ryunosuke before he could finish the closing words, blocking a solid iron ball that flew out of nowhere.

"Where did you come from...... "Ryunosuke complained halfway, twisted his body and turned around with a sword, slashing another cannonball in half.

Glancing at the two golden stars lit up on his sword, he had the leisure to look at what was going on in this environment that was swaying up and down, with the sound of cannons and the raging waves.

The position where he and Matthew appeared was undoubtedly on top of a large sailing ship, and judging by Ryunosuke's superficial knowledge of ships, it should be a Galen-type three-masted galleon, with a total length of about forty meters and a width of about ten meters.

Plenty of strong and savvy sailors were running up and down the deck, pulling cables or carrying cannonballs, not paying much attention to the sudden appearance of Matthew and Ryunosuke.

"Yo!" A heroic woman's voice sounded from behind the rudder that turned like a windmill not far away: "You are the [Servant] summoned by the old lady?" Welcome to the Caribbean! ”

It was a tall woman dressed in red clothes and white trousers, a black captain's hat and a big hat, wearing a scimitar at her waist, and a scar on her face:

"Old lady, no matter who you are, what tricks you can play, now do what you can do, old lady now has to find a way to kill the guy who dares to come to the [Golden Deer] over there to trouble, what treatment do you want, and then talk about it after the fight!" As she spoke, the woman violently slammed the rudder in the opposite direction.

Golden Deer, Caribbean, okay......

——[The four seas are over, the sound of cannons stands in bursts, the tuyere and the crest of the waves]——

This is the Caribbean during the Age of Discovery, where four legendary warships vied for supremacy at sea.

They are Francis Drake's Golden Deer, Edward Titch's Anne Bernie and Mary Reid Twin Queens' Revenge, David Jones' Flying Jackdaw and Drowning Dutchman, and Iason's Argonaut Heroes in Search of the Golden Fleece.

At the moment, the other three legendary ships are all hostile to the Golden Deer, and the reason is obvious......

Since the garrisons of the ports are no match for them, they simply take them all over and receive everyone who comes, but if you want the ports to target anyone, you will have to go to the sea to fight first.

At this time, it was the return from the voyage, and the sleepy [Golden Deer] encountered the [Golden Fleece], which had just left the port and was full of food and drink, and Yi Asong directly ordered the general to come over.

However, because the shells at this time, like the previous two rounds, were just iron balls pushed by the explosion, it was still quite difficult to sink the opponent unless they hit the ammunition depot, and the final decision was still a white-knuckle battle.

As for the effect of firing at each other for half a day before the broadside battle...... Excluding the attrition caused by the guy who was really unlucky enough to be hit, it can only hit morale.

Ryunosuke didn't really care about this, after all, in France and Rome, his melee ability had been well trained.

But...... He glanced at Yard, who was hanging on his hand as a bracelet, and since coming to this peculiar point, it has not said a word, and Lin Hao's projection has not been released...... It can't be a short circuit in the water, right?

Syllable! Trample! Trample!

The two ships staggered, threw their hooks on each other's side, and the sailors rushed to kill each other with scimitars in their mouths.

The scene was tragic...... Strangely, all the sailors who were "killed" were reduced to black ashes and disappeared, as was the case with the previous two anomalies.

In this regard, Matthew's explanation is that because the anomalies themselves are "intercepted" from normal history, except for the heroic spirits, which are composed of magic and turn into golden points of light after being killed in battle, ordinary people are like "background boards", and after dying in battle, they will dissipate like burnt paper or wood, and this situation can only be seen by [outsiders] - so, in the eyes of the aborigines of the world, this is indeed a tragic naval battle.

Boom! Drake took out his arquebus and shot away a sailor who rushed towards him, then took out a lemon and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "The sailors of the [Golden Fleece] are not worth mentioning, but the 'servants' recruited by that guy are quite powerful, and among them is a big black man who is not easy to deal with even the old lady, it seems to be called [Hercules]?" ”

"[Roar-]" As soon as Drake's words fell, a dark-skinned, tall, long-haired man with long flags flying and holding a huge stone knife jumped into the air on the other side's glittering golden deck.

Why is the name and appearance so familiar?

"Basaka!" When Ryunosuke was about to swing his sword to meet the enemy, Lin Hao's inexplicable surprise shouted beside him, and the tone was constantly changing at the same time as the words were spoken, and finally turned into ...... It seemed to be Illya's voice.

When I turned my head to look, where was the "seeming", and the "servant" who had just "solidified" from the projection was not Illya's appearance?

When did that girl become a servant? The future? Ryunosuke looked at the familiar little girl and her not-so-familiar robe with red trim on a white background and the bright gold crown.

"[Roar......? 】”

After this shout, Hercules, who had jumped on board, froze in place, and several sailors were caught off guard, and the attacks of scimitars and arquebuses still hit him, but not even a white mark appeared.

Drake waved the sailors away, looking over with interest.

Seeing Lin Haopai's Illya, she walked over indifferently, patted the big black man's knee soothingly, and then pulled Hercules' armor and arms all the way up to his shoulder, and sat there happily.

"Hehehehehe! Yes, yes, you two come too, and see how many more of those 'Argonaut heroes' can be turned? Captain Drake laughed.

How could it be such a coincidence? Ryunosuke walked to the side of the boat and looked at the other side.

Isn't it the golden noble captain on the big golden ship......

"What [Iason], isn't this the [Atram] oil king!" After seeing the face of the blonde captain opposite, Ryunosuke complained loudly: "When I went back, I told [Soichiro Katsukidi] that his fiancée ran away with someone. ”

Airplanes! Scold!

The two purple-haired women who were originally standing next to Yi Ah Song had a certain age gap, but their appearances were quite similar, and at the same time turned into two bright purple tracks and flew to the Golden Deer one after the other.

"Who is that person you are talking about?" "Don't tell Katsuragi-sensei!"

"......" Ryunosuke temporarily ignored what seemed to be a girly version of Medea, and just stared at the adult version with a strange gaze, without saying a word.

"That," Medea said in a sneer, "because Katsuki-sensei was so kind to me, I went to find him myself in Valhalla's body......"

"You mean, in all the parallel worlds known, he's all devoted to you?" Ryunosuke asked incredulously.

Medea's face flushed, and she folded her arms and nodded repeatedly.

"Bah, so it's actually you who is the one who cares this time?" The girly version of Medea squinted at her and snorted coldly.

"I'm here to stop you from going astray! I haven't even let that guy touch a hair since I was summoned! You stupid, you who will be deceived by rhetoric, myself in my youth! Medea sneered.

"Hmph, over there, tell me who [Soichiro Katsukidi] is? Which era? I will go to see him, lest he be deceived by the old woman. "Who do you say is the old woman!" "I'm talking about myself!"

"Oh? In this way, if the old lady beats that Yi Asong, you won't care? Captain Drake chimed in.

"Whatever you want!" X2

"......" Ryunosuke looked at Captain Drake speechlessly, his wish came true, and it was nothing more than that.

"Little ones! There are only a few stray fish left on the Golden Fleece! Kill them for the old lady! The captain took out the arquebus and fired it into the sky, majestic.

——AD.1888——

"[The whole project, the end - Ah Qiu! 】”

After coming out of the "Spirit Child Transfer Channel", Matthew directly sneezed loudly.

"Tsk...... What era is it? What's going on in this environment? Ryunosuke was still a little "dizzy", and after standing still, he looked at the surrounding scene, frowned and asked.

Unlike the previous occasions when it was either wilderness or the sea, this time the two appeared in a gloomy city, surrounded by lead-gray spire buildings, horse-drawn carriage tracks on the streets, and dim gas lamps beside the road, all indicating that it was about the end of the 19th century in Europe, and the sky was so thick that it was almost impossible to see the dense fog on the roofs of the slightly higher buildings, and even allowed Ryunosuke to determine the specific name of the city.

"This is 1888 London," said Yard, "[It's strange, there shouldn't be a peculiarity here, right, what do those guys from the clock tower eat?] 】”

"Ah Qiu!" Matthew sneezed again: "Hmm...... In this regard, the Chaldeans observed that the entire city was surrounded by a thick fog during this time, and although there were signs of 'something' activity, there was no biological reaction, so the clock tower should also be empty. ”

"There is no living person and there is something moving? Could it be a ghost? Lin Hao, who had just been projected, had a trembling expression.

“…… What do you think you are now? Ryunosuke sighed.

"Probably similar to artificial intelligence, AI?" The Phantom Maiden scratched her head.

Ghost-scared AI, okay...... Moreover, this time is similar to the one in Rome, and there is no direct incarnation of the servant, and it may still have to be in contact with someone before the change.

"In addition to ghosts, there are at least two kinds of beings that are not living creatures but can move," Ryunosuke said, "Servant, or machine." ”

"Hmm......" Lin Hao habitually learned Nero, even if she helped Drake defeat the other two legendary warships, she didn't learn Captain De's "old lady", which is really gratifying.

Click, knock, boom -

Perhaps because the voices of a few people were chatting too loudly, or maybe they happened to patrol over, and with the sound of steam eruptions and steel colliding, a rugged, heavy, steampunk-like iron-gray bipedal robot emerged from the dense fog at one end of the street, followed by five other steam robots of the same style.

"Hey, y'you-" Ryunosuke tried to negotiate.

Click, smack, the team of steam robots simultaneously raised what was a Gatling-like structure on his wrist at him, and the wheels behind him buzzed together.

“…… Okay. Ryunosuke finished his sentence in a curt.

What's that? Is this the 19th century version of Terminator?!

Although he was a little surprised, Ryunosuke didn't think that these seemingly weak steam engines could hurt him, and even planned to rush over when they were shooting.

King Arthur, who lit up the third star on the golden sword in the Caribbean, was so confident.

- Not really, and Matthew, that shield is very powerful.

Buzz - Da Ka ......

"Cut, cut, cut!"

As the steam engines fired, a petite cloaked figure suddenly appeared, flickering and paused beside each machine, and then the steam robots were torn apart and reduced to scrap metal along with their weapons.

"Mom! Come with us! ”

The petite figure appeared next to Ryunosuke and dragged him away.

Only then did Ryunosuke and Matthew see that it was a short-haired little white girl wearing a smart leather coat, a cloak on her shoulders, a fierce look, and a pair of daggers.

With no other clues for the time being, and the robots couldn't communicate, Ryunosuke and Mathew glanced at each other and decided to follow the girl first, however, about the question of that title......

"Don't call Mom, call Dad, phew, call brother!" Ryunosuke said.

"Okay, brother and mother." The girl obediently changed her tune.

“……”

——[The way of royal power, damaging the monarch's father, what he wants will not be fulfilled in the end]——

This is London, but it's not London.

The fog and robots were the embodiment of the fear that machines were about to replace human at the dawn of the industrial age, unable to communicate and wanting nothing more than to destroy all life they saw, wandering the foggy streets of London.

The place where the little girl took Ryunosuke and the others was the original site of the "non-existent magic association" of the clock tower, and it was also the stronghold of the other side of the confrontation with the robots.

They are the distorted personification of legends, cultures, and even strange tales for thousands of years.

For example, the little girl [Jack], who has golden eyes and white hair and wants to cut something at every turn, is the original form of the "Jack the Ripper" who has never been caught, but has nothing to do with the murderer.

For another example, Little Jack's friend, the owner of the stronghold, another girl with pink hair in black clothes and a big book in her hand [Nursery Rhymes], is told to children, a collection of all bedtime stories, because some fairy tales are actually very dark, and her character is innocent with an unconscious belly.

For another example, the incarnation that Lin Hao is using at this time, with unicorn-like spiral horns on her forehead, and it is difficult to speak clearly, the original form is the legendary Frankenstein [Frankenstein], holding a pair of sledgehammers, and her combat power is good.

In the end, it is the young British gentleman who is out of step with their atmosphere, but who stays here and likes to sit in a rocking chair, a collection of all the detective protagonists, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.

This guy's painting style is completely different from the three girls.,How did you get in?

"Because this peculiarity was created by my old enemy [James Moriarty], and without me, you would not be his opponent at all," Holmes raised an eyebrow, "It's just simple reasoning, my friend." ”

Do you want to reason whether I will shoot you with a big sword?

Compared to Ryunosuke, who simply regarded Sherlock Holmes as an ordinary heroic spirit, Matthew looked like he had seen an idol: "That, Mr. Holmes, I'm a fan of your books, can you please sign it?" Just write it on the back of the shield. ”

"......" Holmes raised an eyebrow on the other side this time, "Sorry, I don't write books, if Sir Conan Doyle becomes a Heroic Spirit one day, I will introduce you to you." ”

Not...... Does this count as a "character in a book" running out?
