Chapter Seventy-One: The End and a Little Vignette
"Senpai? The seniors are awake! ”
In a trance, as if hearing a familiar voice, Rika Fujimaru subconsciously opened her hazy eyes and found Ma Xiu standing outside the instrument looking at herself.
She had shed her war-time attire, no longer wearing purple tight-fitting armor and holding a huge shield. Instead, he returned to his usual Chaldean outfit, with short pink hair, hair on one side just covering his eyes, and a pair of glasses, looking like a quiet literary girl......
"Here it is...... ...... the basket? ”
After all, there have been many such experiences, the girl naturally reacted quickly, the hazy sleepiness disappeared in an instant, she looked out in the basket used by Lingzi to transfer, and saw the familiar scenery and people, and she had come back unconsciously.
This was the Chaldean control room, and she was lying in an iron coffin-like transfer device.
"Well, everyone is back safely, as you can see, nothing is wrong." Matthew nodded, and at the same time, he skillfully cooperated with Fujimaru Rika outside to open the basket and help the latter get out of the device transferred by the Reiko.
"Romani, come and help take a look!"
Da Vinci, who was on the side, stretched out his hand to greet the doctor who was already sweating profusely and barely touched the ground, wanting him to come over and have a look as soon as possible, after all, Fujimaru Rika is the only real ordinary human among all the people who have carried out the transfer of the spirit child, so he naturally needs to be more careful.
Even if it is an artificial life like Matthew, which is designed to last only eighteen years, after obtaining the fusion of the power of the servant, the various abilities of the body have been greatly improved...... Only Fujimaru Rika has always been the most vulnerable, although almost all of her usual waking time is spent on various training exercises and simulated battles of Reiko.
It's a pity -
Because of the limited time, the qualifications are not good, although the promotion is there and obvious, it can be said that it is a huge progress, but mainly because she has a low level, so the upgrade standard is also low, and the promotion from level 1 to level 2 can also be said to be a doubling of strength, and the progress is huge......
But for the various peculiar point dungeons that require level 90 full training at every turn, this improvement is really negligible, and at present, it is still a human cute girl, and there is probably no chance to say the line "I'm not a human anymore" in the future.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Sweating profusely, Romani Aqiman answered, quickly explained a few words to several staff members around him, and then trotted over in a hurry.
It's not just that the doctor can't be busy, the Chaldean staff doesn't seem to be busy, Fujimaru Rika just looked at it in a hurry, and he can feel the kind of panic in full swing? Racing against the clock? It's as if it's a life-and-death war.
"There is a very serious problem with the transfer of Lingzi, and the fault has not been eliminated until now? Didn't even find the reason? So everyone didn't dare to relax......"
Dr. Roman explained with difficulty, his eyes red? Red and black, like staying up for a few days without sleeping? There are dark circles and bloodshots under the eyes.
"We don't even know how you got back? After that evil dragon, there was no way to transmit the image back, and the unknown interference was particularly serious, and then it was really completely disconnected...... I thought something was wrong, but luckily ......."
He looked greatly relieved.
Although I don't know what exactly happened? But all three of them will be able to return safely? Even solved the trouble of the sixth anomaly, which is really good, at least not the worst outright outcome.
"Can't even maintain proof of existence?" Leonardo da Vinci raised his delicate eyebrows slightly, keenly aware of the key point, and asked.
"No signal at all? It's impossible to send or receive, how do you think we can maintain proof of existence......"
Dr. Roman Speaking of This? looked like his heart was palpitating, and then he looked up and down at Fujimaru Rika, who had successfully returned? Happily, he wiped his sweat and said, "Fortunately, there was no decomposition of the spirit child, it seems to be a miracle blessed by God...... But Ritsuka, when did you change your clothes? ”
That's right? Isn't it a blessing in the midst of misfortune? It's the equivalent of a miracle.
After losing touch for so long? There is no proof of maintenance and guarantee, and there are no accidents at all? You know, all the Chaldeans, including the Romanes, are mentally prepared for the worst.
So, what degree of heavenly favor should this girl have?!
"I don't think it has anything to do with God forbid, if that one is really in charge, wouldn't it be good to help us clean up that damn King Solomon......"
Leonardo da Vinci pursed his lips, then turned his head to Fujimaru Rika and said: "Basically, there is only one possibility, that magician is right, he didn't want to hurt you from the beginning, it is estimated that when he broke off contact with Chaldeans, he was the one who maintained your "existence", no wonder he took you away alone at that time......"
"Huh? Yes, is that so? Fujimaru Rika was stunned, she hadn't thought it would be like this, she didn't know it at all.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that what Leonardo da Vinci said also makes sense, no matter how you look at it, it should be the magician who is protecting her, and there is also a proof, that is, she made a second transfer without anyone knowing, and was sent to the deep-sea computer anomaly in 2030 AD.
Theoretically, she still didn't have an accident, and she must be inseparable from Xia Ran's protection, because there was no one else who could support her at that time.
"This is the only possibility, otherwise, do you really believe that it is the reason why Roman said God blessed?" Leonardo da Vinci felt that he had seen everything, and no matter how lucky he was, he could not explain such a thing.
Because the peculiarity is both a reality and a hypothetical world. As long as you are at a special point, Rika Fujimaru's existence will become ambiguous. In order to ensure that she does not "lose meaning", her existence must be continuously proven on the Chaldean side.
Otherwise, if the value of her existence changes due to certain circumstances, the image of her spirit child may be left on Chaldeias, resulting in an inability to return to the modern age, and even something more terrible may happen.
Therefore, it is necessary for the control room to monitor the status of Fujimaru Rika at all times, confirm the various values, and immediately adjust them back to the "normal value" even if there is any "deviation...... It's like taking an X-ray, which shows that the patient has some kind of risk or problem, and the doctor has to use the PS to fix the patient......
All in all, during the period of completely disconnecting contact and monitoring, and losing the technical support from the Chaldean side, Fujimaru Rika has an extremely high probability of having an accident every second, and there is even a high possibility of being decomposed into a spirit child, because he is not a person who belongs to that special point in the first place.
There was no accident in this second, the existence is quite stable, it can be said that it is lucky; It was not broken down in the next second, and it was still stable, which can also be said to be lucky......
But no matter how lucky you are, can you still ensure that in the countless tests that are constantly carried out every moment, you will continue to throw a successful result again and again, and there will be absolutely no failure? This is obviously impossible, so it can only be the work of the magician.
"Wait, what magician?"
Doctor Roman was a little stunned, and then reacted with some hindsight, and he hurriedly asked with a vigilant face: "Is it the court magician of the Lion King that I mentioned before?" Isn't it Merlin? You must have seen him, he must have done it, he must have done a good thing, right? ”
“……”
“……”
No, why do you have such a big opinion about Merlin? Is it not pleasing to look at him like this, obviously there is no stake in each other, right?
"I'll explain these things to you later, Romani......" Leonardo da Vinci looked at the doctor helplessly, and then glanced at the chaotic and busy control room scene around him, "You hurry up and check on Lixiang, and then go back to rest, and I'll take care of the rest of the matter." ”
"Huh? Oh, this, in fact, I can still ......" The doctor waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that he was completely fine, and he could continue to use his liver.
"If you stay up for another half a day, you may die suddenly......" Da Vinci did not give the doctor a chance to refute, and waved his hand impatiently, interrupting his words.
Obviously, her eyes were as red as rabbits, and her eyes were bloodshot, and she felt worried when she looked at them.
I don't know how long this person stayed up before he and the others didn't return. However, considering this guy's hellish patience, and his usual history of using drugs to improve the accuracy of his thoughts and hide his physical fatigue, Da Vinci was still worried that he was now stretched to the limit.
"Hey! Wait......"
"I'm okay, give me a little more time! A little time is good! ”
In the end, Dr. Roman still had no choice, and after the examination, he was driven away by Leonardo da Vinci with a tough attitude, and was still called to two staff members to drag him out of the control room with his arms crossed.
"Doctor, he's all right...... Isn't it too hard to force yourself? ”
Seeing this, Fujimaru Rika couldn't help but sweat for Dr. Roman.
"Because Roman is a man who reluctantly reluctates himself in every way...... Da Vinci snorted lightly, "Since the crown was designated, he has hardly slept until the time the crown was designated, in addition to the work of the medical department, there is also the operation of the remaining equipment, the maintenance of Sheba, the control of the Chaldean furnace, the combat policy and the use of the transfer of the spirit child, all of which he is responsible for. ”
"Huh?" At this moment, even Matthew's eyes widened in surprise, "How could it be ......?"
"What's so surprising that after Director Olga Marie was thrown into Chaldeanas and died, Roman's position was the highest among the surviving staff, so he took the position of acting director, but as an ordinary person, he took on the responsibility of saving people, and he had to sacrifice time and physical strength to deal with tasks beyond his own ability."
Leonardo da Vinci shook his head and said.
In fact, it was not only after the crown designation began, but it should be said that it was already like this before that.
Although I don't know the reason, I don't know what happened to him, but looking at the scene where something terrible seems to be oppressing him all the time, forcing him to study hard, working day and night, and running in the dark with tears, Da Vinci can't see it.
The almighty genius doesn't really like Chaldea much, because there are so many dark places in this organization, and if she hadn't stayed to help Roman, she would have left Chaldea a few years ago.
No matter how bad it is, it will only be like Galahad before, although he stayed, he just watched coldly and would never help-
After Galahad was summoned, he was angry at the inhumane experiments of the Chaldees, but he was afraid that if he left like this, Matthew, who was the object of the fusion, would also die directly, so he never left to help Matthew stay alive, and at the same time refused to cooperate with the Chaldeans.
Even when he was first summoned and found that something was wrong, this heroic spirit was extremely angry, he directly controlled Matthew's body to show amazing combat ability, breaking through all the defenses of the Chaldean laboratory, and almost breaking through the entire Chaldean......
If he hadn't been stopped by Matthew in the end, he might have chosen to destroy the Chaldees outright rather than fight these darkness in that negative way.
"Alright, let's not talk about Roman, I just checked it and found that the sixth anomaly seems to be observable, and the Holy Grail has been brought back...... It didn't make much sense, but at least it proved that the magician had fulfilled his promise. ”
Leonardo da Vinci, who turned around, said to Fujimaru Rika and Matthew, and at the same time breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.
This journey can be said to be extremely dangerous, if the other party is really the enemy, then they have no chance of winning at all, but fortunately the other party is still on their side. Although the process was a bit bumpy, in the end they passed the test and were recognized.
"According to that guy's parting words, the seventh anomaly is the most critical anomaly, the real Holy Grail is in that era, or the Holy Grail that was personally sent to the past history by the mastermind behind the scenes, as long as this initial point is not resolved, Renriyaki will continue......"
"Lord Xia Ran said that the location of the seventh anomaly is in the early dynastic era,......" Fujimaru Rika nodded again and again, telling the information she still remembered.
"Well, I know this, but with such a long history, it is still very difficult to observe and determine the specifics, and it will take a certain amount of time...... "The almighty genius bowed his head slightly, "Of course, this information can allow us to lock on to the seventh anomaly faster, which is still very helpful." ”
The final banquet was not very relaxed and happy, but the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
After all, this kind of thing is easy to say but difficult to do, especially the two groups of people who were fighting to the death before, and it is somewhat embarrassing to meet each other. For example, they always have some bitterness about the Knights of the Round Table such as Lancelot and Gawain.
And the crown assassin has been directly repatriated before......
The queen of the Shadow Nation has always been absent-minded, wandering from time to time, and every now and then she peeks at the magician, as if she can't help but want to step forward and make a challenge......
In addition, Mordred was not there, and King Arthur did not show up the whole time, I don't know what he was doing, which is really scary, so that meal is really quite tormenting......
But fortunately, there were no back-and-forths and twists and turns, and they still managed to come back, and at the last moment, the monster magician who flew from the parallel world told them very important and precious information, which was probably the most valuable gain.
As for whether Miss Skaha will finally challenge that monster, and whether the "father and son" who are kind and filial to the father and son will repeat history, they have not had time to see.
But there should be no problem, no matter what choice they make in the last time, it's probably not a record that can be left, so let them vent...... And the observations of Chaldeas show that the sixth anomaly has indeed disappeared.
"By the way, there is also good news, I have found a lot more possibilities in the list of spirit base records that can be summoned, and now we have a much better chance of getting help in the next special point." Leonardo da Vinci remembered something, and said to the two girls with such a wink.
"Is it Mr. Gawain? And Mordred? ”
"That's right, but it's more than four Knights of the Round Table, guess what......"
"Could it be...... King arthur? Fujimaru Rika asked with a subtle expression.
"That's not true, didn't the magician say that King Arthur, as his servant, has some of his abilities, so the uniqueness of the parallel world on King Arthur's body determines that it is almost impossible for her to be summoned extra......" Da Vinci sighed.
If she could, she also wanted to have such a god-level reinforcement, if only she could drag that magician over as a permanent combat force.
"Wait, is it Mr. Bedwell?" Matthew suddenly perked up and asked with hope.
At the banquet, they also ask about Bedwell, and the answer is that Bedwell is not a servant, but a human, or is he from another parallel world.
From the end of another world, the IF line that may have appeared due to a peculiarity may have occurred - that is, Bedwell who lives in the "IF who failed to return the holy sword to King Arthur". He lived the long years of fifteen hundred years to atone for his sins and return the Holy Sword, eventually exhausted himself in Avalon.
Although the protection of the holy sword gave him the effect of immortality in his body, the spirit of being a human being had been burned out in the lonely journey of immortality for 1,500 years, and his soul was already burned out. In the end, he turned into a rock in human form, and with an astonishing obsession, he could not allow his own death.
Then he was discovered by Merlin in Avalon.
The magician of the flowers made him stand up again, giving him the strength to continue fighting and walking, and the knight propped up his broken knees and continued his journey of atonement for his sins, continuing his mission to return the sacred sword.
However, because King Arthur was locked in the uniqueness of the parallel world by her master, there was only a hopeless outcome left at the end of that IF line, because Bedwell was destined to never find that existence in that parallel world......
Then the monster of the sixth anomaly struck, observed the IF, and compassionately lured Bedwell from the end of the other world, giving the desperate a humble hope that they could finally find, and allowing the knight to see the impossibly dead again.
"That's right, maybe it's King Arthur's handsome decision, or maybe the merits of this journey have made him a Heroic ......," Leonardo da Vinci said with a smile, confirming Matthew's guess.
The two girls looked at each other, then cheered at the same time.
……
……
At the same time, the anomalies that had theoretically disappeared were still in the Tower of Radiance.
However, this time it was not the top floor, and the magician did not continue to observe the state of the planet, but stayed in his room, looking at the things on the table in front of him with a pensive expression. This was something that the little witch gave him not long ago, and it was something she had brought with her since she was summoned to the realm, if that meant anything...... Presumably to get this thing into his hands.
It was a cabinet made of honey locust wood wrapped in gold inside and out, and on the top of the cabinet were two angels made of gold, and the two angels faced each other with wings to enclose a space, forming a very peculiar shape.
"Ark of the Covenant...... That's a ......."
A slight sigh rang out imperceptibly in the room.
