Chapter 153: The Dream of Return
Fuyuki City, the world of "Empty Realm", because there was no Holy Grail War, remained calm and peaceful for most of the time.
Approaching the last day before the return of the crossing, Li Ji, Illya, Miyu, and Aosaki Orange are leisurely strolling through the streets of Xindu.
Anyway, this is the last peaceful day for them, even in the world of "Empty Realm", they have faced a lot of dark sides of the world, fierce battles against Araya Soren, his three chess pieces, fierce battles against Aozaki Aoko, Kuenji Yuzu, Beo, and the world itself is moving towards the infinite future.
Only in the world of Meiyou, no one knows what will become of the planet where the great source is exhausted, it will become like "fate/extra", the entire planet is controlled by the armed forces of Western European plutocracy, coordinating resources, and the remaining human beings are surviving on the ruined land; Or is it the worse development of Gaia who dies in Steelland, the planets that are shattered, and the hundreds of Rio species that run amok, and the UOs of other planets try to destroy the planet.
Even an unimaginable fate, you know, after he crossed over to the world of "Magical Girl β Illya", the world line of this world has been interfered with by mysterious forces from the outside more than once, and it may evolve into an even more shocking development.
Thinking about it this way, if it is said that saving Emiya Shirou and defeating the Einzworth family is still a tangible goal, if you want to save the world, there is really a long way to go.
Li Ji thought about it with a little headache, although he said that without the idea of saving the world at that time, everything would not have developed to this point at all, he was not a person who liked to break his word, let alone stop at doing it, especially such a thing, since he said it, he would definitely do it.
The Ryudong Temple in Enzang Mountain, as the "landmark" of Fuyuki City, has not changed much in any parallel world compared to other places, and becoming the only coordinate for them to travel back will minimize the possibility of mistakes.
Plus the silence no one will disturb, and they will spend their last night here.
Illya and Miyu, as two good children, quickly fell asleep after eating dinner, chatting for a while, and didn't seem to have any worries about returning tomorrow and ushering in the real test.
Looking at the comics they bought from somewhere in front of them, with the characters of "Magical Girl Merry" on them, and their quiet smiles, Li Ji thought that a year had passed really quickly.
Compared with the crossing with Da Illya and Xiao Hei, the crossing of the world of "Empty Realm" is undoubtedly long, I don't know what the two Loli think in their hearts? During this period, most of the time is daily, and there is no need to run back and forth, because there has always been a goal to deal with the Einzworth family, which is actually not like the Holy Grail War, if you can't do it, give up, and on this, Meiyou has no way out.
But no matter what, the two magical girls learned about the replacement magic, the truth about the rank card, plus the new improvement in combat effectiveness, and the addition of Aozaki orange, they shouldn't feel like wasting time.
Li Ji paid attention to the two loli for a moment, silently closed the door, and saw Aozaki Orange sitting on the roof, surrounded by drunk wine bottles, sleeping there in a rather indecent manner.
"Is Miss Orange the last indulgence? I heard that the world of Meiyou is a post-apocalyptic world, and there is a shortage of materials, so it has become like this? Fortunately, I didn't hold a microphone anymore, otherwise it would have been similar to a certain plot. β
Li Ji shook his head, moved Aozaki Orange back to the room, and prepared for bed.
In the dream-
"Good evening, I'm everyone's favorite big brother Merlin!"
I don't know when, a young character wearing a pure white robe, with a curly hairstyle, a cane, a harp, and a lazy expression appeared in the blurred vision.
Li Ji rubbed his eyes: "Merlin? How are you? β
Even if he has never seen it with his own eyes, for such a magician of flowers with the candidacy of the crown caster, the court magician of Britain, and the key role leading the legend of King Arthur, he can be described as thunderous, and it is not surprising that he appeared in this way, you must know that Merlin has half of the dream demon blood, knows a very high degree of illusion, and has the means to invade the consciousness of the sleeper.
"Haha, does this master know me? I'll take Galdea into account if I need to. β
"That's right... I've heard of you, and you're a well-known magician... It's just that I currently have two servants, one of whom is quite a powerful caster, and I don't need your help for the time being. So what is the matter with you finding me? β
Li Ji looked at Merlin with disgust, mainly because this magician is very powerful, stronger than the extra-spec heroic spirit, he has been hiding in Avalon, the ideal country far away from the world, and he has not died, and there is a way to make himself a second identity of a heroic spirit on the Valhalla, but it is too unreliable, if he chooses him as his servant, he will always feel that one day he will be cheated by him like King Arthur.
"Actually, I can make a cameo appearance in the Saber rank..."Merlin touched the Sword of Victory Oath at his waist and blinked, "Since you're not interested... Actually, the number of people visiting my blog has dropped recently. β
Hearing this, Li Ji guessed what was going on, speaking of Merlin, an otaku hiding in Avalon, who was idle, he got himself the identity of a magical girl Merry, while playing animation publicity, while playing as an idol, interacting with fans from time to time, attracting many innocent teenagers.
"You're talking about Merry, the Magical Girl?"
"Are you also a loyal viewer of mine?" Merlin was eager.
"No, it's mainly my sister, anyway, I know you're Merlin, not Merry."
"Haha, gender isn't an issue." Merlin said without blushing, "Your two younger sisters are indeed my loyal viewers, and just now I fulfilled their little wishes and achieved what they wanted in the dream world." β
Li Ji said secretly, no wonder he saw Illya and Meiyou sleeping so quietly, it turned out to be Merlin's credit.
"The main thing is that another loyal viewer of mine has fallen silent recently, and as my first supporter, I am worried about his safety and want to ask you to find him."
"You're talking about... Dr. Roman? Li Ji muttered, if you want to say that "Magical Girl Merry" fans, Dr. Roman will never be able to escape, and in addition, Dr. Roman's disappearance is in line with the description of silence.
"A young man worthy of clairvoyance, you got it right." Merlin's voice was raised, "In order to save the world, he chose to cut himself off and abolish the existence of the Demon God King who was closely related to him, but so far the Demon God King has not died, and even became the great cause of the planet UO after seeking human justice." β
"If it's this... As Galadea's master, Leonardo da Vinci and Rika Fujimaru will find a way to achieve this, and no matter what, we don't want the doctor to leave us. β
"Ahhh Merlin smiled and said as expected: "Actually, as a court magician, I am more of a guide to the children of destiny towards their happy end. β
"For example, I told King Arthur how to become king... Say, would you like to hear the king's story? β
Li Ji shook his head: "I'll discuss the doctor, Merlin Magician." β
"Well said, let's discuss the doctor." Merlin paused, "But, I would like to point out that it is very difficult to get the doctor back. β
"The first treasure hidden by Dr. Roman, the time has come to say goodbye, and in order to abandon everything in the world, he will destroy all his existence in parallel worlds, including his traces on Valhalla, all the legends he left behind when he was the Magic King, and everything related to it."
"Galdea alone actually has no chance of recovering Dr. Roman, because the peculiarities that can be reached by the Lingzi Teleportation Device are all the peculiarities of Dr. Roman's existence and disappearance."
"Without him, we will not be able to defeat Gatia, who is a beast, and we will not be able to deal with Gatia, who is about to become UO, and the future will be cut off."
"Meaning countless parallel worlds, my blog's audience has dropped one bit, which is... What a heart-wrenching thing, especially since I had a good conversation with Dr. Roman, who would enthusiastically encourage me every time I updated, making me feel less tired when one was not so boring in Avalon, and saving the world in other parallel worlds. β
Listening to Merlin's statement, Li Ji's lips squirmed and wanted to say something, and he chose to say: "Merlin, it sounds like it's not easy for you..."
Merlin faced Li Ji: "When I see this master who understands me, I feel very warm in my heart... I'm getting more and more interested in visiting Galtaeas. And I'm not dead, I'm not a heroic spirit, and I don't have to follow the rules of the call. β
Li Ji said don't summon him.
Merlin continued: "All traces of the existence of Dr. Roman have been erased, but if you look down on the world from a higher vantage point, there are still an infinite number of parallel worlds with non-anomalous points, and Gaitia is only a world informant related to the anomalous point, and there will always be other parallel worlds where Dr. Roman exists. If he is brought here, the task assigned by the Destiny Crown can be carried out. β
"And then... You're the only one who has a chance to reach other parallel worlds, this master!! β
Merlin suddenly shouted loudly, saying the most crucial point.
Li Ji was stunned, he didn't know if Merlin knew that he had the Three Thousand World Tower, indeed, the Three Thousand World Tower could reach much more parallel worlds than Galladia, and there would be the possibility of reaching a parallel world with Doctor Roman.
"Understood." Li Ji replied that he originally wanted to save the doctor, not only to make a deal with Leonardo da Vinci, but also to save the world, no matter how you look at it, Galladies was involved, and he also admired the doctor in his heart.
"Come on, Master, Cathy? Parug is also with you, which means that I am not without the slightest relationship with you, and I wish you your happy end. β
"I have a question... Why choose a time like this. β
"βIt's simple... Your growth rate is too fast, once you reach the height of an immortal, reach a state where you don't eat fireworks, and you are otherworldly, it will be very difficult for me to find you from such a distance, and I have to run out of Avalon myself, and this is very tiring. β
Li Ji looked at Merlin who was standing lazily in front of him, speaking of which, this magician of flowers is really such a person, do you want to punch him here? Since it's in a dream, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
In this way, what should have been a good dream, Li Ji and Merlin discussed serious matters concerning Galdea's future in the dream.
Although with such an episode, letting him get the key to how to rescue Dr. Roman has no effect on his next adventure.
The next day's return time came, and as the familiar door opened, he carried a large bag and a small bag, plus Illya, Miyu and Aosaki Orange had to hurry through the gate and return to the world of "Magical Girl β Illya".
