Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

10. Happy New Year

As the train arrives.

"The train will arrive at Hogwarts in five minutes. Please leave your luggage on the train and we will take you to school."

Electronic sounds that would seem out of place in a setting like a magic academy echoed on the train.

In this way, Lu Mingfei seemed to have understood when watching some game talk show videos, steampunk, dieselpunk and so on. In this type of punk, except for cyberpunk, the first two must have magic. elements or something.

Different from the medieval fantasy magic style pioneered by Charlemagne, steampunk originated in the Victorian era. In the era when the British Empire never set, the steam engine engine brought powerful production and countless novel inventions. Noodles are constantly being born.

People at that time were extremely proud, believing that the laws of the world could be conquered by steam engines, and that the magic in legends and stories could be reproduced and popularized by human hands.

Is this the Victorian era?

It is completely different from modern times where nihilism is prevalent. Just when Lu Mingfei said with emotion, "Although the magic academy looks a bit weird like a steam locomotive, this kind of silly, big and thick thing is also a man's romance."

Lilim said in a strange tone: "Yes, with the progress of the Victorian era, human beings' pride as human beings has expanded immensely. Even the poorest workers in the London slums will be proud of the huge wealth controlled by the British Empire. "

Lu Mingfei was choked by Lilim and didn't know how to answer.

I always feel that this topic will be very dangerous if I continue to talk about it.

Lu Mingfei originally planned to follow the instructions in the notice and put his backpack - there was actually nothing important in it. Apart from some clothes, there was only a book that Lu Mingfei almost forgot.

"The Book of Goetia" is indeed what the little devil gave Lu Mingfei after Fuyuki ended.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that he would collect Clow Cards with Card Captor Sakura, collect Demon Cards, or recycle Demon God Books, but in the end, he had never met a Demon God seriously until now.

In France, the limelight was completely stolen by the Holy King and the witches created by the Holy King.

At that time, Mozart could only be regarded as half a devil, and the real devil never appeared.

In this way, the existence of the demon gods seems to be unexpectedly low.

But he looked at Lilim’s eyes.

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and stuffed the bag containing the rice balls into his pocket.

There should be many magical animals in Hogwarts. According to the setting, each student will have his own pet. Rice balls should be used to feed them, right?

The car stopped.

Lu Mingfei patted Mordred on the head and urged her to wake up quickly, but Mordred died unexpectedly while sleeping. Is she too relaxed?

Lu Mingfei originally wanted to tickle him or something, but Lilim slapped Mordred on the butt unceremoniously!

Mordred suddenly jumped up like a frightened little animal. When she saw Lu Mingfei's white hair, she didn't know what she had mistakenly admitted, and she showed a look of horror for a moment.

"Mother - uh, I recognized the wrong person."

Embarrassed, Mordred subconsciously began to change the subject.

"Ah, um, is dinner ready?"

Lu Mingfei: "."

Lilim: "."

In short, Lu Mingfei dragged Mordred, who was confused about the situation in every sense of the word, with a rice ball, and Lilim was casually stuffed with the "Book of Goetia" by Lu Mingfei and asked her to help her get it. , and the other luggage was placed on the train.

The three-person Harry Potter team, together with other students, got off the train under the command of the radio.

The arrival time at the academy seemed to be in the evening.

The cold night made Lu Mingfei couldn't help but shiver.

Then a light swayed above the students' heads, and Lu Mingfei heard a familiar voice shouting: "First-year students! First-year students, come here! Come here, how are you?"

It was Mai Shutoku, and Su Enxi was beside her. The two of them still looked like adults, guiding a large group of little kids like nannies.

I don't know if it was Lu Mingfei's illusion, but when the two of them faced this group of chattering little kids, they looked a little hopeless.

Lilim seemed to see something from Lu Mingfei's expression: "Are these two acquaintances of yours?"

"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded, "I guess there are quite a few people involved in this stage barrier."

Lilim tried to win over and comforted him: "It may not be that I am in trouble, it may just be a virtual NPC that is simulated by relevant information. After all, except for the protagonist, everything in the stage play can only be regarded as the background."

"She still owes me a mountain of money!" Lu Mingfei was worried.

Su Enxi seems to be playing Harry Potter's friend in the story, Hagrid, a migrant worker at the academy. According to the script that Lu Mingfei knew before it was adapted, before arriving at the Magic Academy, 'Hagrid' should have taken 'Harry' with him You should go to Gringotts Bank to withdraw money.

We can’t blame Lu Mingfei for focusing on something strange. After all, the first Harry Potter movie is an old movie. When I watched it, Lu Mingfei was not that big. A poor kid would be afraid of being poor. Compared with what Lu Mingfei saw at that time. The look in Harry's eyes when he saw the golden mountain left by his parents was similar to the way Harry saw the golden mountain in the story.

"It's a lot of money! And school also costs money. What should I do if I don't have any money now? I'm not a boy with a lightning scar. I don't know if the director has considered issues such as inheritance or insurance compensation." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but Thoughts.

Lilim didn't know what to say.

Mordred laughed loudly, patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and comforted: "You are not a boy now!"

"Is there anyone who can comfort people like you!?"

Complaints are complaints.

However, the content of this kind of communication made Lu Mingfei very comfortable. This feeling was more like a joke between 'buddies' than a communication between a boy and a girl or a girl and a girl.

Then Lu Mingfei thought of something.

"Stop talking about me, Xiao Mo, where is your luggage?"

Mordred, who was still like a curious baby - perfectly blending into the environment of real little kids around him, was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"What luggage?"

"Your luggage."

"Do I have any luggage?" Mordred looked at Lilim.

Lilim held the "Book of Goetia" which was as big as her head - partly because Lilim was too small - and nodded.

"I originally had luggage. Oh no, I am a heroic spirit. How can there be any luggage without luggage after I appear in this world? Speaking of which, where are we?"

"Coach! There is a guy here who has been disconnected and doesn't understand the situation. Hey! Did you really not listen at all from the beginning to the end!?"

Lu Mingfei felt that he had met a character who was even more speechless than himself.

Mordred seemed not ashamed but proud: "I am a servant, I am your sword. It is the master's responsibility to think about this kind of thing. It is better to say that talking weapons are dangerous. With my Experience shows that such weapons often intend to usurp the owner’s body or something like that.”

"What kind of dark descendant are you?"

During the exchange in a cheerful atmosphere - Lilim was observing around, Lu Mingfei and Mordred were chatting -

Su Enxi and Shutoku Mai from the nanny team, with expressions of despair on their faces, led a large group of new boys and girls. Instead of going directly to the academy, they took a detour.

Lu Mingfei knew that all new students at Hogwarts had to go through something similar to an entrance ceremony.

I don't know where those two unfortunate little followers of 'Malfoy' went after being beaten by Mordred.

"Come on, follow me, all the first years are following! Watch where you step!"

The children followed the steps of the two elder sisters and nannies, slipping and stumbling, as if they were going downhill along a steep and narrow path. There were lush trees nearby, which made people worry that they might accidentally fall into the trap. Lost in the darkness.

A black lake suddenly opened up at the end of the narrow path. A towering steam castle stood on the high hillside on the other side of the lake. Smoke billowed from the upper tower of the castle, and the starry sky that should have been twinkling was completely obscured.

Although it lacks the feeling of traditional magic, this steampunk style also has a sense of mystery from the Victorian era. Although when Lu Mingfei mentioned the mystery of the Victorian era, the first thing that came to his mind was sophisticated machine gears. For example, a mysterious pocket watch with magical power, or "Bloodborne" or something like that.

"Don't think so wildly," Lilim said suddenly.

Lu Mingfei didn't know why, so he just nodded subconsciously.

There is a small dock on the shore of the lake, and small motorboats equipped with steam engines are docked on the shore.

"Four people per boat! Don't bump into each other, there is an automatic pilot! The sirens in the lake don't mind feeding the unlucky ones who fell into the lake!"

Mai Shutoku is threatening the little kids.

"Sirens." Lu Mingfei thought of the group of hungry and unmarried young ladies who were like wolves and tigers in the Aiyou Island incident not long ago.

I don’t know if Caesar was chased by those girls after he left.

Circe's cute appearance came to mind.

Anyway, Lu Mingfei didn't think there was anything scary about sirens.

Apart from being cute, she's just a bitch.

Because Lu Mingfei had already read the script, although in reality Lu Mingfei never waited for his Hogwarts admission notice, now that he knew the plot, he naturally had less expectations for the next plot.

The steam engine rumbled, and the sound of the engine's collision was crisp and unexpectedly sweet. The ship crossed the lake and approached the legendary mysterious academy.

The children were wary of the lake, and some of the brave ones were poking around to see what kind of magical creatures lived underneath. Occasionally, one or two hands would stick out from the lake, making the children scream in fear. .

Lu Mingfei's focus was as strange as ever:

"Speaking of which, don't you Knights of the Round Table buy holy swords from the Fairy of the Lake? Where's your holy sword, Xiao Mo?"

"Holy sword? I don't have that kind of thing, but I stole another Star Demon Sword from my father's treasure house. Let you see my Clarent!"

As if showing off his toy to a friend, Mordred put up a posture, waved his hand vigorously, and made a gesture of drawing his sword.

Then nothing happens.

"?"

Mordred didn't believe it and tried again.

Still nothing.

"Wait a minute." Mordred finally noticed something was wrong, "Where's my Noble Phantasm? Where's my power? And my armor, why are they all gone."

"Maybe the host has collected all the weapons in your character's card." Lu Mingfei patted Mordred on the shoulder sympathetically.

Mordred looked confused.

The fourth person on the boat, Olga Marie, looked at these people as if they were idiots. She herself was sitting upright and seemed very reserved.

Lu Mingfei remembered that Hermione's relationship with Harry and Ron was not very good at the beginning.

The nanny girls were very tired and shouted: "Be careful! Don't mess around!" and the like, especially emphasizing some dangerous places and telling the students not to mess around.

Among them is the forest nearby.

Lu Mingfei naturally knew the secrets of this forest. In the script, the forest near the college was a forbidden forest and students were not allowed to enter because it was dangerous.

But Lu Mingfei, who has read the script, naturally knows that the forest itself is not dangerous, but there are many strange and magical animals living in it. Although there are centaurs who are friendly to humans living in it, once any students get lost, they will warn them. Later, when it was sent back, there were even sacred animals like unicorns.

However, in this generation of Harry Potter stories, the Forbidden Forest is really very dangerous, because in this generation the villain, the Dark Lord, will hunt down the unicorns in the forest and use the unicorn blood for himself. Extend life.

etc.

Lu Mingfei frowned, feeling that he seemed a little too relaxed.

The Dark Lord, the main villain in the story, should also be his enemy, right? Who could he be? Could it be the secret behind this singularity?

It happened that at this time, deep in the forest, a loud and strange roar that sounded like a wolf's howl, but it was hard to describe what it was, suddenly came from the depths of the forest.

The originally bustling children were frightened into silence by the sharp sound.

Lu Mingfei frowned and thought hard: "Are there any dangerous beings like this in the story about the Sorcerer's Stone?"

Mordred still didn't care: "For a child who has no strength to restrain a chicken, ordinary wolves are also dangerous, right?"

It seems so.

"However, we are definitely going to investigate anyway. We will just have a look when the time comes." Lu Mingfei followed.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Lilim's face started to twitch.

"No!" Olga Marie growled, "I don't understand what you were saying before, but I can't pretend I didn't listen to what you said! Didn't you listen to the teacher? The forest is very dangerous! You can't go!"

Lu Mingfei was embarrassed now.

Because he was Olga Marie, he habitually did not act like an outsider, and would loudly plot whatever he said.

Lilim began to wonder why Lu Mingfei "deliberately" revealed the details of the operation to Olga Marie.

Mordred looked at Olga Marie with disdain.

"Hmph," Mordred mocked, "I know, top student."

Bad boy Mordred starts acting weird.

Really like a child.

It happened that at this time, the moonlight penetrated through the clouds and fell, and the vision at night instantly became much clearer——

[Difficulty: 65]

[Lu Mingfei’s ‘Investigation’: 1D100=2 (the first big failure of the new year)]

Lu Mingfei felt as if something flashed past in the corner of his field of vision, when Lu Mingfei looked over subconsciously.

Well, it may be because the moonlight is very bright, and Lu Mingfei is not used to the bright silver hair of his current leather sheath. The moonlight poured down, and it actually reflected light together with his hair. Lu Mingfei was shaken a little. One became unstable and fell into the lake.
