Chapter 50: "Coincidences" in Various Senses
"Then follow your plan, Master, I just hope nothing goes wrong......"
Artoria, who was a little distraught, thought for a while, and finally stretched out her slender index finger, gently and helplessly rubbed her eyebrows, and then she looked at the master in front of her.
"But then again, Master, you shouldn't be playing then, right?"
"Well, before Fujimaru comes back, I need to keep an eye on the situation of that special point at all times, which is a computer space after material information, so the density of information is much higher than that of the normal material world, and the speed of time is also a bit frenzy......"
Xia Ran blinked his eyes first, and then said seriously: "If you don't pay attention, if you don't pay attention, I will drop the chain at a critical moment, and it will be a big deal." So it's better for you to star in this script, I shouldn't be available by then, so I won't interfere too much......"
“……”
“……”
Artoria didn't speak, just stared at him with a slight disgust in her beautiful emerald green eyes.
The so-called silence is better than sound at this time, and silent disgust is better than a thousand words, and it is better than all powerful complaints.
Xia Ran immediately pulled the corners of his mouth, and then the serious expression on his face disappeared suddenly, and he said directly very calmly: "Okay, the main thing is that I don't think I need to play at all, so I can watch from the side when the time comes, and watch you break the blood." ”
“……”
“……”
Sure enough, isn't it a big deal to watch the excitement? Do you want to prepare a melon seed drink for you at that time, so that you can move a stool and watch it on the side?
Artoria suddenly didn't know what to say, just now when the other party opened his eyes and said nonsense, she could protest a little, but now there is no way at all. After all, this person has been honest to the point of being undisciplined, what else can you do?
"Anyway, that's fine, there was no part of me in this script, only you and the Knights of the Round Table were the center, and the Chaldean group...... After all, trust and betrayal, correctness and obsession, the contradictions and conflicts brought about by such choices are both wonderful and interesting. ”
The magician raised his hands and stretched hard, and then looked back at the content on the projection: "And I let go of that Assassin before, it's enough to test my acting skills, if I make a cameo appearance this time, they won't have any reason to run away......"
If that were to happen, even a fool would be skeptical.
Therefore, it is reasonable for Xia Ran to intervene in the future, and even act as if he is being dragged by something, and he will not appear at all from beginning to end, so that he can reasonably let go of Chaldea and the others without being suspected by them.
"Okay, that's fine, I'll take care of it when the time comes......" Artoria sighed, bowed her head slightly, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Then there's another question, about the group of rebels...... How to deal with it? ”
"Huh? Do you need to ask me about this kind of thing, Queen? The magician looked at her strangely.
"Of course I know that there is a choice of suppression, a choice of co-optation, and a choice of letting go ......"
Artoria didn't care about the teasing title, just stared at him very seriously, and continued: "But this is different from the beginning, those people have gradually become the climate, and the trouble they can cause us is getting bigger and bigger, and the losses are getting bigger and bigger, just like this Black Dragon Incident......"
After a slight pause, she frowned slightly, as if to organize the language, before she continued:
"I checked all the relevant records through Tonatiu and pieced together the ins and outs of the whole thing, first of all, their people spent more than a year in the lurk, and were able to enter the Scottish Dragon Academy, although in the end they were not able to easily enter the core and access the most confidential information, but they also had a lot of key information......"
"As for the information of the ancient dragons they mastered, the core spiritual power, etc., a lot of them were obtained from the Dragon Academy, and they even made up such achievements as hybrids by mistake, and it is said that they were crazy to transform all the members, thinking that this is the direction of human evolution, and they can have the strength to complete their great cause......"
"And this incident, because the spy doesn't know the inside story of the subject, but based on the information he has, he deduces that it may be another ancient dragon that we have secretly cultivated, or the most powerful ancient dragon, so I feel that this is a good opportunity to seize it from us, just like the airship and golem they need, just grab it directly......"
Because the spy didn't know what the core secret subject in the Dragon Academy was, he just groped out a rough outline based on some information that he had hidden in the corners. For example, that project is the longest-lasting, most resource-intensive, and most secretive project, and it is even very likely that the entire Dragon Academy was established at the beginning around this core project.
Therefore, they naturally deduced that Camelot had been trying to create an Elder Dragon King, and after such a long time, he was close to succeeding...... Of course, this inference is not wrong, but the rebels do not know that Miraberias is even more dangerous than they imagined, and that it is an evil dragon that only gods can fight.
They were just excited to get such an opportunity, and felt that this should be the first ancient dragon they had, and they had to grab it anyway, so why not grab the strongest ancient dragon?
Just like when they and others snatched airships and locomotives before, the strategic technology that Carmelo has, they also have to have in the rebels.
"Because of this, when the spy discovered that the experiment on Mirabraias had suddenly stopped, and was not going on at a fixed frequency like before, he didn't know that the last step of the plan had failed, but only that according to their logic, the ancient dragon was about to be put into use to form a new dragoon legion......"
Speaking of which, Artoria felt a little headache.
"So they decided to take a gamble, and not long ago they launched a series of large-scale attacks all over Europe, and I wondered if they were crazy, if they were preparing to declare all-out war on Camelot...... And paying such a big price is actually to disguise their real goals. ”
"The Dragon Academy, which was violently attacked, quickly sensed that something was wrong, so it quickly responded. At that time, it was too late to ask for support, and they thought that if they continued like this, the seal designation of the black dragon would be broken sooner or later, so they could only risk transfer......"
How terrifying Mirabereas is, the Dragon Academy is very clear. Normally, I am worried that the strength specified by the seal is not enough, so that it can break free, so when it is harassed by the endless attacks of the rebels, lurking, assassination, etc., it will not be able to take care of it at all, and it will be sooner or later.
It was too late to ask for help temporarily, and the rebels had concentrated most of their strength, exposing all the hole cards that had been operating and carefully developing on Scottish land for many years, so there was only one choice left on the Dragon Academy's side, rather than watching the evil dragon's seal go wrong, it was better to send it back to the royal city while the seal was still firm.
There are lion kings who wield holy spears and court magicians who have reached the realm of "magic", and the gods must fear their power, and the evil dragons naturally cannot make any waves.
It's just that in a hurry, the Dragon Academy can't mobilize too large a team, after all, if they can gather such a force, they won't be so anxious. Therefore, the lineup of the team transporting the black dragon was very shabby, and the final result was still unsuccessful.
"After all, the rebels are very concerned about this matter, and it is almost inevitable that they will win, regardless of casualties...... Perhaps it should be said that when they pay such a big price, if the final result is still a failure, this is absolutely unacceptable to them, so no matter how much they lose in the front, they still have to pile it up at all costs. ”
Artoria looked at Xia Ran helplessly: "But at that time, I didn't know about the existence of the black dragon, and my attention was also attracted by the front of the rebels across Europe, and Master, you didn't seem to be aware of this problem......"
"My attention at that time was also on this peculiarity, so I didn't notice it......" Xia Ran raised his index finger, scratched his cheek, and said helplessly, "There is a restraining force to activate, Alayah really picked a good time." ”
What he said to Fujimaru Rika before was not a pretext, he was very honest and honest from beginning to end, so he never arranged any script, whether it was the rebels and others targeting the black dragon, or the Chaldeans and his party were just caught in the whirlpool of the situation, it had nothing to do with him.
Even at that time, his attention was all focused on the subspecies-specific point in the timeline that happened to appear in the future, pondering how he should obtain the plan and possibility of the third magic from the body of the Third Beast Killing Academy.
So, it's definitely the restraining force that has been activated.
It always changes its scale, but in essence it is driven by an unconscious or pan-conscious current, and it is not able to change reality out of nothing, but rather to adjust the course of the world line to achieve the results it needs without anyone noticing.
It is also promoted by so-called "coincidences", through this kind of fate that seems to weave fate, to influence the people it chooses to take a certain action at the selected time, thus triggering a chain reaction, including the rebel spies lurking, the plan to seize the ancient dragon king of their imagination, and the involvement of the Chaldeans......
Even specially selected in the gap that the magician happened to not pay attention to, triggering this series of chain reactions, this is very scary.
"Restraining power...... Artoria also felt a little headache, but for the time being, she could only shake her head helplessly, "If that's the case, it's all the more time we should start dealing with those rebels, they have become the most pawns of Alayah." ”
"That's right...... Xia Ran pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Anyway, the fire of the prairie has already been ignited, and there is no point in keeping them any longer, so let's eradicate them all after that." ”
The reason why the rebels were retained was originally to allow them to promote the rapid development of technology and civilization. After all, people are so strange, if you forcibly want to push advanced technology to the world, then many people will be very resistant, desperately opposed, and met with huge resistance.
But if you change the way, while suppressing them, stick to your strong technical superiority, and make a posture that you will never let them touch, they will desperately want to snatch and steal, racking their brains to get their hands on it, thinking that this is definitely a good thing......
That's why the rebels have been able to be active and grow until now...... But now they are no longer needed, the whole world has been aroused to the atmosphere and mentality of an arms race, and countless countries are desperately developing demon technology, fearing that they will fall behind, and it doesn't matter if there is this group of people or not.
Moreover, Xia Ran also admitted that Artoria was right, he was somewhat wary of the inhibition force, and the correction force in this direction could always appear at a value that was just better than the target, which was a bit scary. Even now, he is only temporarily gaining the upper hand in the peculiarities of his own business.
Compared to the Killing House Prayer Famine or Gaitia, who is also the object that needs to be corrected, he is just very clever in using the contradiction of the restraining force on the planet Earth, at least Gaia will not have anything unpleasant about him, which just offsets the correction initiated by Alayya.
- Gaithia is a tyrant who not only wants to burn people, but also replaces the existence of the earth, so that he provokes corrections from the two major inhibitory forces at the same time.
- And the Killing House Prayer is a scruple that has no scruples just to satisfy his own desires, and has held countless Holy Grail Wars in the special marine oil field base of Seraphix.
This was her predatory process, although it was because of this that she was able to become a Beast hatchling after countless Holy Grail Wars...... But it was also this constant predation process that gave Alaya the opportunity to correct the distortions and threats she had brought.
In the hundred-fold speed of time, while constantly actively summoning servants and devouring them to satisfy their own desires and growth, doesn't it also give the possibility of being defeated by Alayya's Saint Seiya? So the beast of original sin was eventually corrected.
Xia Ran pondered it now, and felt that he couldn't be careless, he couldn't always ignore some small threats that had already shown signs, and if he didn't do it well, he might also capsize in the gutter.
……
……
At the same time.
In the waters of the Hebries Islands in the west of Scotland, steam ironclad ships are navigating through the thick fog, and the scorching heat and heat are blowing in their faces, as if they were driving near the crater.
"It's almost ......"
Looking at the changes in the sky ahead, the distant sky filled with eerie clouds and anomalous patterns, and only a dull air, Skaha said in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with some strange light.
"As long as we control this evil dragon, we can directly raid the Camelot homeland in the next step, take advantage of the chaos it causes, and look for an opportunity to rescue Lixiang......" Leonardo da Vinci also nodded vigorously, she also felt very aggrieved by what happened before.
"I hope so...... However, before success, you have to cheer up 120,000 points, and not everyone in the team can be trusted. Skaha said calmly.
"You mean...... Are these rebels? Matthew, who had been nervous, asked, and she looked around, the silhouettes of many of her companions, the ironclad ships, looming in the mist.
"It's not just them, I mean ...... in our team"
Skaha glanced around, laid a magic barrier, and whispered.
"Medea has a problem, the power of the previous spirit is beyond imagination, but she has not been damaged at all, her breath has not changed from beginning to end, not as she said, she has healed herself before finding us, I am still sure of this......"
"Moreover, I found that she actually carried the legendary Ark of the Covenant." Leonardo da Vinci hesitated for a moment and added.
"Huh? Is it the one from the original third anomaly? Matthew was slightly stunned, "How could Miss Medea still have such a thing?" ”
"Who knows? But it can't be explainable, right? Could it be that this time, she is from the Magic King's side, and she is trying to destroy this world by sacrificing the gods to the Ark of the Covenant? We need to be mentally prepared. ”
Leonardo da Vinci shook his head, he could only make such a guess.
