Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

69. Let him pick up girls. Let him pick up girls.

Although this illegal building on the sea looks suspicious, since there is no way around it, no matter what ghosts and monsters are on it, we have to bite the bullet.

After getting very close, everyone in Chaldea realized with some hindsight that although this illegal building looked like a skyscraper made of reinforced concrete from a distance, when they got closer, they found that it was composed of The materials are completely different.

It is not a building material known to humans, nor does it have any traces of pasting between bricks. If you insist on speaking, the texture on the surface of the building material looks a bit like it was carved out of marble.

Michelangelo has a classic line, which basically means that after being asked "How did you carve the statue of David?" he replied: "The statue was originally in the stone, I just removed the unnecessary parts."

Translated into Chinese, it probably means something like ‘naturally formed’.

The building in front of you gives people the feeling that it was originally an extremely huge piece of marble, but the excess parts were removed, so it was 'taken out' from the marble.

But if you think about it this way, how huge is the life that carved this hotel, which is about 100 meters high?

The Titans in Greek mythology. Giants?

Roman, who studied civil engineering, expressed his opinion: "Although, but, although this thing looks like an illegal building hotel, in my opinion, it should be closer in nature to, well, it should be a temple."

Roman's level of knowledge in this area is quite trustworthy.

However, this also raises a question: depending on the situation, this should be a siren with the nickname "Guide to the Underworld", so who will be enshrined in their temple?

Lu Mingfei was a little confused: "You are already known as the guide to the underworld, who else could it be? It must be Hecate, right?"

"It's hard to say." Master Ka held a 'card' and felt confident in expressing his opinion. "Let's not talk about whether you are a colleague or an enemy. In Greek mythology, the same power has various gods. There have been many situations, but Hecate’s turn has never been her turn. To put it bluntly, Hecate does not exist in the Greek mythology system at all, she is a lost alien god from the East.”

Kenneth did not rush into the hotel. Instead, he walked around the outside of the hotel and carefully looked and analyzed: "The biggest feature of the Siren is its 'singing'. Could it be the god of music?"

The Greek god of music?

When mentioning this, classmate Lu Mingfei took the initiative to raise his hand and wanted to answer the teacher's question:

"I know this! Muse, right?"

Kenneth looked a little surprised: "Although it's just a basic question of this level, I didn't expect that a poor student like you could actually answer an answer that's not wrong."

Su Xiaoqiang sighed and covered his face: "I do know why he knows about Muse, but please don't ask further where he knew it."

Kenneth said he didn’t quite understand what you young people were talking about.

It was the people's teacher Weber who brought the topic back on track in time: "As for the Sirens and the Muses, apart from the story of Odysseus, they do have the deepest connection with the Muses."

The story of the Muse and the Sirens is generally a story that teaches people not to overestimate their own abilities.

Muse In Greek mythology, Muse is the goddess in charge of music and science. At various gatherings in the divine world, the Muse is responsible for setting off the atmosphere with singing and dancing. It is not wrong to say that she is the literary and art committee of the divine realm.

The Sirens thought that their singing skills were unparalleled in the world, but they chose the wrong opponent. Instead of competing with the Muse to sing, the result was a disastrous defeat. The Sirens, who were originally the children of Achelous, the god of ocean currents, were therefore "get rid of you". Divine book!" and became a monster.

"But considering that we encountered them during the adventure, the content of "The Odyssey" is more worthy of reference than the various versions of mythology, right?"

"The Odyssey", an epic poem written by the ancient Greek poet Homer, also called "Odysseus Crusoe".

Odysseus also encountered sirens during his adventurous journey. The way he dealt with them was to plug the sailors' ears with beeswax. He wanted to explore the secrets of the sirens' songs, so he did not plug his ears. Instead, he tied himself to the boat and could not move when passing by, so as to isolate the siren's singing and prevent the singing from bewitching him.

"Good guy, are you physically isolated from the possibility of being bewitched?" Lu Mingfei was surprised when he heard this.

Kong Ming, who was interrupted by the humanoid self-propelled trolling machine, could only shake his head: "In short, the sirens who failed to seduce the hero Odysseus jumped into the sea and committed suicide in shame after falling in love with Odysseus. ——”

"Wait a minute!" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded, "What the hell did the sirens commit suicide by jumping into the sea!? That's a sea monster! And hey! Even I know they should look like mermaids Existence! Your statement is as outrageous as saying, 'Did you know? Everyone who breathed the air died, so the air is fatal to humans'!"

"I think your metaphor is quite outrageous."

Chu Zihang, who was on guard next to him, turned around and answered Lu Mingfei's doubts: "In the original mythology, the siren was not a siren or a mermaid, but a human-faced bird similar to a harpy. I have seen statues of sirens in the literature. Compared to the harpies, which are closer to aliens, the sirens look more like humans with bird wings."

Kong Ming nodded, indicating that Chu Zihang’s answer was correct. Lu Mingfei should watch and learn from it, and then added: “By the way, after losing to the Muses, the wings of the sirens were destroyed by the Muses. Taking away makes the crown.”

"Sounds cruel." Lu Mingfei shrank his neck.

"In short, perhaps because after their wings were taken away, the sirens were no longer different from ordinary humans. As the stories spread, in order to supplement the characteristics of the sirens as alien creatures, people used stories about bewitching sailors to compare them with The combination of fishes gave rise to the later concept of 'kraken', which should be what it means to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the sea, but then again."

Kong Ming seemed to have thought of something and frowned.

Kenneth simply stated the content of Kong Ming's concerns: "From a mythological perspective, when the Sirens were still alive and still doing their job of seducing sailors on passing ships, it was still the period in the story of Odysseus, so It’s only when you still have wings.”

Lu Mingfei felt that Kenneth's statement was not quite right: "Then when did the story of the Muse and the Sirens happen? The Sirens are all dead. How can the Muse get the wings to make a crown?"

"You don't have to be so clear about mythology." Kenneth waved his hand, "Anyway, I have prepared beeswax. If you are not confident about your resistance, you can come to me to get beeswax to plug your ears."

——In the end, only Kadoc wanted it.

Putting aside the dangers of thinking, after hearing the story of the Muses and the Sirens, Illya felt pity for the Sirens.

The First Emperor and Caesar felt that they were the most out-of-the-box, even more out-of-the-box than Lu Mingfei. The two bored 'emperors' actually agreed to compete to see who could be like the legendary Odysseus. The sirens were bewitched.

Seeing the two bosses like this, Lu Mingfei could only facepalm: "Don't compete with Siren for jobs."

Lenis couldn't help laughing at this: "Mr. Sima Yi was just complaining about this tradition called 'persuading prostitutes to become good'."

Lu Mingfei scratched his head. The main reason is that I don’t understand the point of Lenise’s laughter.

Caesar laughed loudly: "This can also be regarded as a kind of 'Roman romance'. Since ancient times, men who have confidence in themselves have wanted to use this method to conquer women who make a living by seducing men."

So the values ​​​​of your ancients are really strange to us modern people——

"Actually, if there are no moral constraints, modern people are not much different in this regard." Da Vinci calmly made a cup of black coffee and turned on the recording device.

In short, everyone with their own ideas finally stepped inside the huge hotel-like building with a huge KTV sign hanging outside——

☆

All in all, Lu Mingfei and others outside had made sufficient preparations from the material to intellectual level, and then entered the Sirens' hotel with all their strength.

But unlike the vigilant adventurers, the sirens were already happy before they arrived.

Although it sounds ridiculous.

——But they are here for a blind date.

Even the BB who summoned them was a bit shocked after hearing their request of "I can serve you, but you have to meet our small request."

In order to express his complicated mood, BB even put on a pair of glasses and threw them to the ground viciously.

In a nutshell.

"We're here for a blind date, right from the beginning."

What started? Now? Or is it, from the beginning of mythology?

"? How do you humans understand? When we sing to seduce men, we must be trying to choose resourceful men who suit our preferences. The other things are just a small test. If you are not charmed by us, you can still get away from it. A strong man who survives the test! That is the perfect marriage partner!"

BB's face-palming expression at that time was exactly the same as Lu Mingfei's: "Are you some kind of funny species? So your goddess's values ​​are really outrageous!"

Holy shit, the legendary seductive siren’s song actually invites sailors to go on a blind date!

Are your blind date standards and methods too outrageous?

The Krakens are also very confused about this: "I checked the database you gave us, and I think this thing called 'betrothal gift' is exactly the same as what we do? Rather, I feel that this thing seems to be better than us It’s too much.”

"Can money and life be discussed together?"

"It is certainly nobler to die fighting for honor than to live for money!"

BB: ". Stop, stop, stop. If I keep talking, I feel like I'm going to be infected with some kind of road syndrome. Anyway, I've handed over this 'Baidu' program for checking information to you. You can help me use your method to stop those who are destined to do so." Just come as many adventurers as you want."

"Can you send some more handsome men? They need to be strong!" Most of the sirens looked at BB expectantly.

"My lover should be an unparalleled hero!" This is fantasy.

"Of course I don't mind beauties, but I don't really like the 'big' ones. More petite girls!" A small number of sisters also expressed that they were aloof.

The Greek aesthetic is the aesthetic of lolicon, right?

No wonder Athena looks like a girl. Wait, is it true that according to Greek aesthetic standards, the tall and plump Artemis is actually considered to be 'ugly'?

BB quickly shook his head vigorously, throwing away the fancy thoughts that appeared involuntarily in his mind.

Similar ones are used to intercept adventurers and create 'misery and opportunities' for adventurers - that is, strongholds that provide strength to Hecate. She has prepared many, including unreliable sirens who come for a blind date. , there are many reliable ones, so there is no need to waste time and effort on this kind of off-line funny race.

It's impossible for the Chaldeans to bump into them and then be targeted by these "wolf-like" sisters, right?

If it is such a coincidence, then congratulations to Hecate for getting super doubled magic power from it.

Although it is a bit outrageous, as an opportunity itself it is also outrageous.

When the people of Chaldea approached, the sirens were holding BBQ. They thought it was troublesome to explain all the messy things to them, so they casually threw the "search engine program" to them to check the information of Chaldea and the group.

The nine siren sisters seem to be really into blind dates.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the tenth one, who seems to be the youngest, is hiding in a corner with a look of lack of interest. His face seems to say, "As a home girl, I was forcibly dragged here by my best friend to be the background of the social atmosphere group." of.

Anyway——

How do the Sirens feel about the Chaldeans?

[Women who are not young girls are not within the hunting range of the sirens, which means——]

[To Lu Mingfei: 1D100-25 (doesn’t look like a hero) = 85-25 = 60 (doesn’t attract much attention)]

[To Kadoc: 1D100-25 (doesn’t look like a hero) = 57-25 = 32 (directly ignored)]

[To Chu Zihang: 1D100+20 (Beautiful Man)=96+20=116 (Ukyo Tachibana)]

[vs. Caesar: 1D100+50 (beautiful man + hero) = 85 + 50 = 135 (XP critical hit!)]

[For Ying Zheng: 1D100+50 (beautiful man + hero) = 33 + 50 = 83 (How come this man is more evil than our sisters?)]

[For Illya: 1D100+10 (in line with Greek aesthetics)=93+10=103 (awsl)]

[To Chloe: 1D100+10 (in line with Greek aesthetics) =52+10=62 (Xiao Hei: Why do you have so different attitudes towards me and Illya!?)]

[For American tourists: 1D100+10 (in line with the aesthetics of the Greeks) = 16+10=26 (grouped with those who are not within the hunting range)]

[By the way, because Kiyohime was wearing a swimsuit, her good figure was exposed, so she was no longer within the hunting range]

【So--】

【This Siren Blind Date Conference! The most watched male player in Chaldea is Caesar! The most watched female player is Illya! 】

[If I have to say it, Chu Zihang is actually the favorite among the Siren sisters, but Caesar’s background as a historical hero is a serious plus]

[Master Ka was directly ignored, Meiyou was treated as a follower, and Lu Mingfei and Xiao Hei were classified as the "atmosphere group\
