Chapter 32: Strange Stories
"Okay, let's not talk about it so much, since there is no problem, then without further ado, let's go straight now."
Skaha looked Rika Fujimaru up and down, and after confirming that his targeted magic trick was indeed working, he decisively pulled the topic back.
After all, she wasn't too interested in the love-hate relationship between the head of the Chaldean medical department, Romani Achman, and the virtual internet idol Magic β Merry, and she didn't want to know anything strange about "VTuber" or anything like that.
"Then again, this is the Isle of Skye, so how are we going to get to Britain next? Although geographically, the distance is not too far...... But after all, there are so many people, I think I need some transportation or something, right? β
Matthew wondered, and subconsciously looked at Leonardo da Vinci.
After all, she is an all-round genius, and it is understandable that others will have such expectations of her.
The same goes for other people, including Mordred, Lancelot and others, although they are active in different years and regions, and it is difficult to intersect even in the same people, but when summoning the present world, the common sense given to the Servants often includes the knowledge of other Servants.
Even if you haven't heard of such a thing at all in your lifetime, or the other party didn't exist at all in your lifetime, it doesn't have any impact.
Therefore, for Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian polymath, one of the three masters of the Renaissance, and a unique all-rounder in human history, they also know his reputation and ability, so they are naturally driven by Matthew, looking forward to what this genius can come up with.
The scene at this moment feels like Nobita, Fat Tiger and others, looking at Doraemon expectantly, waiting for the latter to take out some unimaginable magical device or props from his almighty pocket.
However, Da Vinci didn't seem to think so, but it was better to say that she was very happy to be expected by everyone, so she smiled directly: "That's right, it's time for me to show my skills......"
"No, we can just take the boat over, and now we can go directly to buy tickets......"
Skaha gave everyone a strange look, and then a fluttering remark interrupted Leonardo da Vinci's seemingly unwanted attempt to pull out some strange magic prop.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
There was a strange silence.
The smile on the face of the almighty genius froze, and the action of wanting to take out something was also fixed there, and even in the Chaldean communication, it was suddenly silent for a while that a pin could be heard.
Fujimaru Rika and the others looked at each other, and after a long moment, she confirmed that she had heard correctly:
"Just take a boat? I'm sorry, Miss Skaha...... I don't quite understand, what does this mean? β
"It's literal, just take a boat over, what's so incomprehensible about that?" Skaha said lightly.
"Huh? Oh, that's ...... so" Fujimaru Rika nodded subconsciously and responded dizzily, but then he reacted, and quickly shook his head vigorously as if it was a rattle-
"Oh no, no, IβI'm not talking about this, I mean...... I mean...... That's right, that's right! Ticket! That's right, it's to buy a ticket, Miss Skaha, you just said that word, what does it mean......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"Huh? What does it mean to buy a ticket? Don't you all know this? I thought that in your time, there should have been such a concept, and the means of transportation have become very convenient, and you only need to buy some corresponding vouchers to go to other places and so on......"
Skaha frowned, pondered for a moment, and then tried to explain to them about this kind of thing.
She originally thought that this should be a matter of course and easy to understand, but why did this group of modern people seem to be unable to understand? Did they come from some remote country?
"No, no, I didn't mean it......" The girl felt her mind become more and more confused, and tried to sort it out for a while before she could clear her thoughts. I mean, why is this happening at this time? β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
Is that what you mean? Skaha sighed, knowing that they hadn't changed their mindset yet, and that they hadn't yet had a proper understanding of this peculiarity.
"Why can't there be, the god generation is just a synonym for a very high degree of mystery, not the meaning of backward technology, such a high degree of mystery, such a dense and rich pure magic, is the most suitable for the development of magic, and the high development of magic is enough to do all this......"
The Queen of the Shadow Country turned around calmly, facing the sea breeze, and stretched out her hand to point in a certain direction of the islandβ
"As I said, on the other side of this island, a port was built about half a year ago, and a small town developed, although I don't know if there are any resources on this island that are worth exploiting, maybe simply as a supply point in the middle of the route?"
"But all in all, the shipping route has been opened, so from time to time there will be steamships passing here, possibly docking for supplies, and occasionally you can see magic airships, anyway, you can always reach the land of Britain without any problems......"
Although Skaha has indeed stayed in the Shadow Nation all the time and has not done anything rashly, it does not mean that she does not know anything, after the "Heavenly Movement Realm" appeared, expanded, and covered the entire world, she began to pay attention to the changes in the outside world.
Therefore, she naturally knows everything about the changes and developments in the world pattern from that node to the present.
"This is a map of the whole of Europe, with the British Isle as the center, radiating to the surroundings, the main sea routes are these, the Isle of Skye is just on this branch, I don't know if the sea train will be built, it is said that the Camelot side has such a plan."
With a slight wave of her hand, the runes condensed and constructed, outlining a materialized picture scroll, which appeared in the hands of the dark purple long-haired royal sister beauty, she opened the picture scroll in her hand and explained to the people around her-
"As the absolute central hub that currently dominates the European magic world, Camelot probably wants to completely control the lifeblood of the whole of Europe, but for now, it is very convenient for us, at least the steam ferries and magic airships have set up sending and receiving stations on the island's harbor......"
"The ferry should be once every three days, there will be a departure today, departing at noon, once you miss it, you have to wait for the next one, but occasionally you may encounter passing merchant ships, you can also take them, but the uncertainty is too great, for example, whether there is a merchant ship passing by, I don't know, whether it is going to Britain I don't know......"
"As for the magic airship, this cycle is even longer, it should be half a month before one passes on the Isle of Skye, so we still don't have to wait for this, it's a little unrealistic......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
In the face of the Queen of the Shadow Country's explanation, which seemed to be the guide's introduction to the next itinerary, everyone was naturally silent for a while.
Because there seems to be something wrong with this style of painting, it is a little too surreal.
Steam Ferries ......
Magic Airship......
There are also plans to build a sea train that is too magical...... A route map that seems to cover the whole of Europe......
And it's only European, and it sounds like the subtext is that the convenience brought by magic technology has affected the whole world, after all, it is said that Camelot has become the central hub that rules the European magic world, and he has to completely control the lifeblood of the whole of Europe.
In just a few words, Skaha has vividly sketched the true outline of this peculiarity for everyone.
Although it is only the tip of the iceberg, it is obvious that it seems that this era has not only been completely burned by the magic king's human affairs, but has turned into a red earth, but has also developed a god-generation civilization with highly developed magic.
Even Lancelot and other Knights of the Round Table subconsciously widened their eyes, so stunned that they didn't know what to say.
Was this really the era they were familiar with?
In the end, in the middle of the communication, the doctor's reluctant laughter was heard, and the silence was broken: "Ahahahaha...... It's really shocking, and it seems that this peculiarity is completely beyond our previous experience......"
Not really.
Whether it's the first anomaly or the second anomaly, whether it's the Hundred Years War of the Evil Dragon or the Eternal Crazy Empire, there are basically wars everywhere, and there are no intact villages and towns in sight, only ruins after destruction and burning.
The third peculiarity is that it is difficult to see on the sea, not to mention the formed society, civilization, and country......
The fourth peculiarity is in the magic fog of London, basically the whole city is a dead city, even the clock tower of that era has been destroyed all over the door, and it is completely killed, how can ordinary people survive?
Finally, the last peculiarity point, the whole of North America is also reduced to the scorched earth of the apocalypse, and the mad king CΓΊ Chulainn is probably the full embodiment of the man CΓΊ Chulainn, the part of the beast in human skin-
Just like in the legend of the Ulster in the horrific "Six Circles Massacre", in addition to countless soldiers, he also killed countless women and children...... And the form of the mad king is probably the complete embodiment of this part of his nature, no matter how you look at it, he is a vicious beast king.
So he doesn't need the people, he doesn't need soldiers, whether it's the enemy or his own, everything is not needed! Those who dare to resist will be killed! Those who don't resist will be killed!
He slaughters the weak with overwhelming force, kills anything he sees alive, and kills until he is killed...... Because of this code of conduct, the North American anomaly, which should be the closest to modernity, is also left with nothing.
There is only scorched earth after burning, ruins after destruction.
Therefore, it is not entirely possible to blame the Chaldeans and others for not being able to change their thinking, after all, the baptism of five peculiarities in succession and the long journey across history have inevitably made them form a certain mindset and subconsciously apply it according to their previous experience......
So much so that in this peculiarity, I never thought that what I would face was not an era that was destroyed, destroyed, and full of devastation, but a completely different ......
New world.
