"I've got a great next—huh? Wait, what are you going to do? ”

Olga Marie looked at Ryunosuke, who suddenly strode towards her, and retreated again and again, almost hitting the courtyard wall:

"Even if my next idea causes you a lot of trouble, it's 'that me' fault, and those who don't know are not guilty-"

Ryunosuke raised his arm in the air expressionlessly.

"Yikes! Don't slap your face! The genius girl raised her arms to cover her face.

Boom, Ryunosuke's arm pressed over her shoulder against the courtyard wall behind her, staring at her condescendingly.

"The experiment is over, get ready, you come with me to the shopping street." Ryunosuke said in a dry, exasperated voice.

"Uh-huh!" Olga Marie nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice.

Ryunosuke looked at her again, then turned and walked towards his bedroom, which was located in another courtyard.

**It's **** - it's ** again!

Reif's strength is not worth mentioning, only Hercules can win safely, and with Sasaki Kojiro helping him fight, he is even more powerless to fight back - but ** died again.

This time, in order to avoid being attacked by Leif's envoy as a diversion target, Ryunosuke was ** close to the battlefield at all, and watched the battlefield situation with a telescope with ** far away, and occasionally a few spears and arrows that lost their heads flew over, and they only hit the abandoned * hall they used as cover.

However, just as the battle over there was completely over and the signal was passing, the old and dilapidated house where the two of them were hiding collapsed.

After a few battles, Ryunosuke has also mastered some simple applications of superficial magic, such as a kind of "whirlwind energy", which, as the name suggests, instantly strengthens the strength of a person's whole body into the power to propel himself forward.

In the case of ** mark support, it can be advanced up to two times in a row, but whether it is once or twice, it will cause the eyes to turn black and the whole body will be weak for the next few seconds, so it can basically only move in a safe situation, or in an emergency, it can only be used by beginners in the case of a better alternative to magic.

When Ryunosuke pulled ** to escape from the collapsed building, because of this hole card, it was enough to run to a distance enough for the "whirlwind" to go out, so the action was "slightly" slower.

As a result, it seems that the two of them "can't escape the collapse range", ** at the last moment they broke away from Ryunosuke's hand and pushed him out, causing her entire body to be buried in the ruins of the building - only the hand that had just pushed Ryunosuke was still exposed.

Lines like horse-drawn chariots were rapidly emerging on the back of the hand, but before they could take shape, they slowly faded with blood gushing from the ruins.

The familiar words seemed to be coming from the air: "Huh? It's weird, what's this in my hand? ”

After that, Ryunosuke rushed back to Camelot to activate the "time machine" and ignored anyone.

Leif is not the "reason" at all! He is just the most suitable "means" to bring about that "result"!

There is [who] or [what], Xiao Hao must be allowed to die, and the reason ...... It must have something to do with those patterns that appear again and again, but each has a different pattern.

————

The two were hurrying in the direction of the second avenue of the new capital, walking in a hurry.

"Mary Sue, ask you something." Ryunosuke called as he walked.

"Don't bring ...... Forget it, what do you want to say? Olga Marie habitually wanted to refute, but after looking at Ryunosuke's expression, she asked instead.

"Do you know this?" Ryunosuke showed her the back of his hand, on which three twisted and intersecting lightning bolts were drawn with a red pen.

This is what he drew with a red marker when he was sorting things out before, although he didn't remember a few other patterns, but only this**was just captured and**directly**The pattern in the "option" made him willing to draw on the back of his hand - the others, just thinking about it, will emerge "those**" death.

"What's that? Tattoo? Performance art? Olga Marie asked in surprise.

"I didn't draw it like this," Ryunosuke shook his head, "Suppose there is a scene where countless balls of light swirl back and forth, fast enough to form three halos, and I stretch out a hand to it, and this pattern will appear on the back of my hand on its own, and its name begins with [Ling]. ”

"It's a [Spell]!" Olga Marie exclaimed, causing passers-by to look sideways.

"Calm down, I don't do soundproof magic." Ryunosuke glared at her.

"It seems that you have really been through a lot of ......" Olga Marie secretly glanced at his face before explaining in a low voice: "The [Spell] is a medium used to control the [Heroic Spirits], which can greatly enhance their strength, teleport, or twist their will to forcibly order them to do something they are not willing to do. ”

"[Heroic Spirit]? How to summon? Ryunosuke asked with a frown when he heard another new word.

"Now ** people can summon," Olga Marie shook her head: "Licensed by the world's [roots], the body is shaped with magic power, and the soul descends from the [Valhalla], this kind of exaggerated thing is still recorded hundreds of * years ago, and it has been completely cut off now, and the current magic world can only make 'pseudo-heroic spirits' in Fuyuki, the 'closest to the root', and the "Long Night of Destiny/Warring States ** Strange Tales" filmed by the Tosaka family reproduces the specific summoning situation to some extent, but those fighting village chiefs ...... Tsk, only Oda Nobunaga is still a little bit likely to become a heroic spirit. ”

"So, Hercules, Sasaki Kojiro, them?" Ryunosuke remembered the strange people who suddenly appeared after a certain text message.

"It's basically organizations or individuals in the wizarding world who are sent to protect them, huh? Have you been given a spell? Olga Marie almost exclaimed again in the middle of her speech, and quickly covered her mouth.

"Yes, that Leif guy called me [Master], and then left you alone and tried to kill me, but fortunately with the help of Illya and Hercules, I took the opportunity to activate the time machine." Ryunosuke grafted the ** encounter onto himself, so as not to delay the business by starting to ask for details.

"Me? Seal designation? Rafe? Master? Even so, Olga Marie was stunned for a moment: "Okay, then I'll make a long story short: since the 'Root' and 'Valhalla' no longer respond to requests to summon Heroic Spirits, the strongest in the wizarding world at present are those organizations and individuals who control the 'Followers', and of course they will not let you go if they can summon genuine Heroic Spirits." ”

"Oh." Ryunosuke nodded, kind of accepting the explanation.

But this is just an explanation of "why did Leif kill **", the bigger problem is that ** in addition to the first time, the follow-up is not so much Leif's hand, but the world is using the most violent means to prevent her from becoming the [Master], as if she is being targeted by the "root" or [World Will].

But how could that thing have a consciousness of its own?

Then the conclusion is obvious, this is the theory of "timeline branching and confluence" that Matthew once said to himself.

After finding her and asking clearly, the time should be about the same, and this time there is no need to wait for Leif to do it, go back directly after **say that strange sentence, and continue to try different option branches to avoid **'s **line.。

If it doesn't work, it means that all the options from here are "Dead End", and you have to go back to an earlier time and make a completely different choice.

For example, ** was not allowed to go out after lunch, and forcibly detained her in Camelot to play games with Illya or something.
