Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

9. Secret Era, London All-Stars

As we all know, Lu Mingfei is a gamer. People in the world always have a misunderstanding about people who play games, that is, they always subconsciously think that these people are withdrawn and not good at talking. Although this statement is often true, it should be discussed on a case-by-case basis. .

For example, on the Internet.

Those who play bad games have their own circle. In addition to the quarrels between fans in various fan circles, the most active voice in the gaming circle - the voice of places like Penguin Group, is always being criticized. It lies in the mouths of those who are the loudest, the most vocal and the most vocal.

The beef between game geeks usually revolves around combat power. This usually happens. Most of the time it’s because the game producers have problems with their plot design. But there is a type of game where the players are different. This group of gamers are different. As long as someone speaks, they can start a fight with each other anytime and anywhere, just like the ancient Confucians debating.

That’s players of historical games.

In other words, players who are involved in historical games, especially the card-drawing games involving various historical figures and heroic battles that have become popular in recent years.

Of course, these issues in life are not the focus.

Lu Mingfei's nature is to follow the crowd. He is neither uninterested nor interested in history, and he has no interest in fighting with others. When he encounters things, he basically just watches and says "Ah, right, right, right".

However, Lu Mingfei had a slight impression of the fight once. The main reason was that the fight took place in Chaldea, and Lu Mingfei was there to watch. After all, the previous discussion in the game group was just a discussion. It's just a discussion, but Chaldea can really summon heroic spirits.

Lu Mingfei is really not good at class, and he relies on his friends to understand history.

The content of that discussion was not a clichéd topic such as "Guan Yu must defeat Qin Qiong", but quite the opposite. It was not a discussion about which general was stronger or which king was the most capable, but who was the loser.

Good guy, it's like a denunciation meeting. Although there are not many people in Chaldea now, unfortunately, people from more than a dozen countries can still come out. Everyone is criticizing their own civilization. of weirdos.

How much does Lu Mingfei know about history? For example, Lu Mingfei naturally knew that Yue Fei was chased back by twelve gold medals. But if Lu Mingfei was asked which emperor ordered Yue Fei to be awarded twelve gold medals, Lu Mingfei would answer Not coming up.

Mainly because in modern times, historical stories such as this to maintain national unity have not been publicized much.

Lu Mingfei, who followed the crowd, originally planned to watch and eat melon every day.

But this time was different this time. The First Emperor himself joined the group of historical beasts. The crowd immediately shrank, and then His Majesty the Emperor asked Lu Mingfei:

"What do you think, Lu Qing?"

Lu Mingfei then hesitated and named the person who was famous for his food in his mind, that is - well, Liu Chan.

Mainly because the idiom "luckily miss Shu" is very famous.

The First Emperor burst out laughing on the spot, and Kong Ming in the group immediately cut his account and went offline - and then Weber came online.

As a teacher, Weber has a deep understanding of the history of various countries around the world - mainly because Weber has no money to engage in large-scale magic research, and in fact, he cannot really practice as a magician, so he considers himself a minister of the conquering king Iskandar It is natural for him to study the history of various countries in the world.

Weber decided to say something for Kong Ming and Liu Chan.

"Liu Chan still has some abilities. How many of the kings of subjugated countries died well?"

The First Emperor continued to ask: "What are your talents specifically?"

Weber was silent for a moment and typed a reply: "Liu Chan's greatest talent is that he knows he has no talent."

This discussion, which was actually a debate or whipping of corpses, became strange because of the personal fate of the First Emperor, Kong Ming, Sima Yi and others, and because these people were all Chinese heroes, the content of the topic naturally began to deviate. , many foreigners have expressed their understanding and opinions on the famous kings and ministers of China's past dynasties. Although they are basically all kinds of whipping corpses.

Lu Mingfei was deeply impressed by Weber's hesitant words for Liu Chan.

Liu Chan's greatest talent is knowing that he has no talent.

The First Emperor seriously agreed with this sentence, and even really thought it was a compliment, because Chinese history has always been full of emperors who were addicted to food and eras in which rituals and music collapsed. These words were spoken staring at Sima Yi.

Later, they seemed to be beating the corpse again, and somehow the topic changed to 'how to fight against the Romanization technique of Kenneth and the divine king Caesar'.

Because the topic was twisted, Lu Mingfei didn't understand much of what he said next, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway.

Lu Mingfei wrote down this sentence and took it seriously. He always secretly warned himself that he must not be addicted to food, and that it is important for a person to be self-aware.

Lu Mingfei is really not a smart person, let alone a wise man. Otherwise, when something happens to him, his first reaction is to think, "What would he do if it were Chu Zihang?" or "What if it was Sakura Girl?" What will you do?"

Unfortunately, Lu Mingfei has never lacked teammates around him, let alone capable teammates. After all, those who can become heroic spirits and appear to save the world basically have two brushes, plus Da Vinci Roman and even Lu Ming Ze warned Lu Mingfei many times not to use that personality simulation ability too much, which caused Lu Mingfei to develop a bad habit.

That is the habit of leaving all the thinking work to the other party once they find a teammate.

Perhaps because of Lilim's cute appearance, or perhaps because of his trust in the First Emperor, Lu Mingfei naturally did not doubt Lilim at all. He answered all Lilim's various temptations (questions) truthfully.

But where will this lead?

The result is that because of his trust in his companion, Lu Mingfei will definitely answer truthfully if asked, but if his companion does not ask, Lu Mingfei will probably forget to tell him.

Lilim asked Lu Mingfei what he had experienced before that.

Naturally, Lu Mingfei honestly explained everything that happened after entering the stage.

Lilim heard that Lu Mingfei had his own opinions on the contents of the two strange notes he picked up.

"Holmes is a historical figure of this era. It is not surprising that he appears here. But don't forget that since Sherlock Holmes really existed in history, then his old rival, Moriarty, who is not dead in this era, will naturally It may also exist. It’s hard to say which side is the enemy or the friend. Maybe it’s Professor Moriarty fishing in troubled waters and pretending.”

Lu Mingfei seemed to understand: "Does this mean that the news above is false?"

"This is not necessarily true. If it is really Moriarty who is pretending to be Sherlock Holmes, it will be easy with his wisdom. If I were him, I would use correct information to gain Chaldea's trust."

Lilim seemed to have something to say.

"And it is not an uncommon trick to mix one lie among nine truths. In short, you must not believe it, but you must not believe it all. If I am not by your side in the future, you will be called Sherlock Holmes or Moriarty or Watson. Or even He cannot be trusted even if he is approached by someone who calls himself Conan.”

Lilim snorted.

"After all, Holmes is not a good person."

Lu Mingfei nodded with deep understanding: "But it's up to my father-in-law to make the decision!"

Lilim: "."

After that, Lu Mingfei completely relied on Lilim. She would answer whatever she asked. She told Lilim all the stories about Harry Potter.

However, Lu Mingfei also has his own questions: "Is this story really useful? After all, just what we are encountering now, not only the characters on the stage have different personalities, but the plot has also changed, right?"

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei also stroked Mordred's blond hair, which was resting on his thigh.

Lilim also felt that this ‘original plot’ was unreliable.

Prime Minister Lilim believes: "Since we are now suspected of being trapped in a story, or a fairy tale, there are already clues to the identity of the shady character. There is a high probability that it will be a follower of the writer's family - I think it is 'Lewis Carroll' you'."

"Who?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, "I only know the Brothers Grimm and Andersen as fairy tale writers. Who is this Lewis?"

lewis carroll

In a sense, this person is also famous, in a state of superposition of famous and unknown.

Generally speaking, when it comes to fairy tale writers, most people's first reaction is indeed like Lu Mingfei when they think of Andersen and the Brothers Grimm. But when it comes to the specific stories of Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, Lu Mingfei may not be able to answer it for a while, and it is even easy to explain them. Their stories were mixed up and they mistakenly thought they were written by each other.

But Lewis Carroll was different.

He may not be famous himself, but his story is world-class——

"Author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

"I understood when you said that." Lu Mingfei suddenly understood.

Lilim stared at him, as if trying to read something from Lu Mingfei's face, but Lu Mingfei responded with a perfect 'confused' expression.

Lilim took out another list of suspects:

"Since the shady story is most likely to be the existence of the writer's family, then I think it cannot be limited to 'fairy tale writers', because the followers of the writer's family are very special, and the differences between them are not too huge. In essence, they all write stories. The abilities of human beings after becoming heroic spirits are basically the same, so other writers may also be enemies. Please remember this list, sister, these are the writers you may encounter in London of this era."

Lu Mingfei, who was following the crowd, had no opinion on Lilim's title.

Just glanced at the list.

"Conan Doyle, I know that. Sherlock Holmes is a historical figure. What is the relationship between Conan Doyle and them? You also said this about Lewis. Damn it, is this man still a pedophile? He's still open A photo studio takes artistic photos of little girls without clothes? Maybe she's a stalker? She even takes drugs? Maybe she's even a woman? Maybe she's a witch who can do magic?"

Lu Mingfei only felt that his three views were exploding, and the amount of information was overwhelming and explosive.

"Holmes is also a drug addict." Lilim reminded calmly, "Lewis needs to be the most cautious. She often communicates with the female name 'Louise Anna'. On the one hand, on the other hand, although the general media believes that Lewis Alice in Wonderland was written because he was high and hallucinating, but magicians don’t think so.”

"How to say?"

"The story of Wonderland was something that was later processed. Lewis's story was originally called 'Alice's Adventures Underground'."

"Oh and then what?"

Lilim began to suspect that maybe Lu Mingfei was really a fool. Chaldea's compulsory occult education was very problematic, and her previous suspicion that Lu Mingfei was just overthinking.

But Lu Mingfei is a real savior, the kind who has already saved the world. Chaldea is even more powerful. It was able to rebuild even though it was almost destroyed at the beginning, and assisted Lu Mingfei to complete the repair of the singularity. In this way How can it be possible for a professional organization to seriously fail to provide even basic education?

It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

Sure enough, the disguise of the guy in front of me is too perfect? Or is it because his current appearance is disguised, so I can't see through it? Or maybe even the step of pretending to be a woman is part of his plan?

Lilim regarded it as being tested by the First Emperor and thought it had answered Lu Mingfei's question:

"The answer is very simple, Lewis lives in London, and underground in London, there really is a bizarre 'wonderland' world as described in his stories! Lewis - or in other words, Louise Anna may be the fairy tale witch , this statement has always existed.”

"Oh" Lu Mingfei seemed to understand, and then continued reading, "Then who is this Madam Blavatsky?"

"Mrs. Helena Blavatsky, although her main place of activity was in India, she happened to come to London due to various problems around 1888. In fact, she finally died in London."

"She's also a writer?"

"Strictly speaking not, but as a writer, she published "The Secret Doctrine" in 1888. This book was completely open to the general public, and it was also a real magic book! Countless ancient mysteries were revealed to her Public exposure! The Magicians Association is trying to brand her as a writer to prove that the magic books she has made public are just 'made-up stories'."

"I see. I seem to have some impression. Jiangnan's "Kyushu Fantasy" seems to have mentioned something. It is said that 20 years after her death, a legend about a mysterious race began to spread among her followers. Then, this The legend was described in detail and published, and the book was called "Future Nation"?"

"...I don't know about that kind of thing." Lilim shook her head.

Lu Mingfei could only continue reading in confusion: "Bram Stoker? Who is this? Does it have anything to do with Stark?"

". Bram Stoker also lived in London in 1888. It is said that he had a good relationship with Conan Doyle. In 1890, he began to serialize a masterpiece "Count Dracula", which led to Fra The direct reason why the Archduke was slandered as an innocent monster was because of the extremely chaotic time in London at this time. Perhaps Bram wrote Count Dracula because of what he experienced during this period of time, which was related to vampires and Death Apostles. What do you think about relationship matters?"

Lilim suddenly asked Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei didn't think too much and answered subconsciously: "Isn't it normal for there to be vampires in London? Isn't that how it is played in the stories? To say that vampires really have to look like British aristocrats."

Lilim: "."

"Speaking of which, I didn't know there were so many Londons in this era - wait a minute, this is the Victorian era, right? Many mystery-type stories like to use this style as the background. It seems like London can gather an all-star cast. It’s quite normal. But I’m a little confused.”

"Is there something wrong with what I said?"

"The main thing is - look, aren't we trapped in the Harry Potter fairy tale now? Why are you talking so much about London? We are not in London."

Lilim did not answer Lu Mingfei directly.

Instead, he looked out the window.

As the speed of the train gradually decreases, the destination can already be seen with the naked eye.

The first thing that appeared in front of Lu Mingfei was a strange town. It was clearly 1888, but it looked like a medieval European town - of course, not the real medieval European town that Lu Mingfei had personally visited. It is the style of the 'mysterious medieval town' that exists in the romantic fantasy stories of later generations, especially the 'mysterious medieval town' imagined in various fantasy stories.

Of course, everyone's focus soon changed as the train passed through the town and skirted its tracks around a lake.

The huge magic academy, the magic academy castle in "Harry Potter", appeared in front of everyone——

The first thing you can see is the huge chimney on the top of the castle, with billowing smoke constantly being sprayed out. Compared with the mysterious magic academy, the entire castle looks a bit like a huge operating steam engine?

Lu Mingfei didn't know how to describe it. I can only say that it feels a bit punk, a bit like the feeling in "BioShock". Is it called steampunk or dieselpunk?

"The stage is, after all, the actors dancing in the hands of the director. No matter how you try to restore the plot of the story, even if your 'identity' is distorted in mystical terms, the identity on the material level remains unchanged." Lilim said quietly Question: "In your impression, is this what the magic school in the Harry Potter stories looks like?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head.

At this moment, the announcement sound of unknown origin echoed throughout the train.

"Welcome everyone back to the Hogwarts family in the new year, and welcome the newly admitted children. Headmaster Babbage Dumbledore is looking forward to your arrival at the banquet. As long as you abide by the rules, you will be happy. May you have a happy year full of knowledge and wisdom.”

Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the 'Magic Academy' in front of him.

Lilim stared at him silently.

--Sudden

Lu Mingfei slapped his head suddenly, and his expression suddenly changed!

"That's not right! According to the plot, before entering school, wasn't I supposed to go to Gringotts Bank to collect the inheritance of a small gold mountain that my parents left me!? My money was swallowed!?"

Lu Mingfei's focus is very different.

Lilim was speechless, wondering if Lu Mingfei was pretending.

So, a problem arises here.

Because Lu Mingfei's focus was wrong, and Lilim didn't ask, Lu Mingfei naturally forgot to tell Lilim that there was another important point in this Gringotts plot.

That is, in the story of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone, first appeared inside Gringotts Bank, and in this scene, he rubbed shoulders with the protagonist. And passed.

Because Lilim didn't know, he didn't ask. Because Lilim didn't ask, Lu Mingfei, who had a very strange focus, naturally didn't say anything, so Lilim didn't know.

The real point is not money. Well, money is also very important, but the more important point is that the so-called 'original plot' has been changed beyond recognition under the ideas of the director of the stage play.

Maybe this is an ‘adaptation’.

What problems does this cause?

Damn it, I found out after I went there that there was no Sinovac vaccine today. Fortunately, I didn’t ask for leave yesterday. I might as well just waste the leave note.
