Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

45. Please choose your strategy route

This incident is different from previous ones.

Although it can be regarded as part of the uniqueness of the Sea of ​​Gods, it is obvious that this London is a relatively independent dungeon plot if used as a game metaphor.

It should be treated as an independent level.

The biggest problem facing London right now is that compared to previous singularity adventures, this time there is no specific and clear ‘object to defeat’ in London.

To be more precise, there is no opponent that makes people think that "as long as this unique point is defeated, it can be solved."

The purpose of the demon god Barbatos is unknown, but it obviously does not give people that feeling. After all, past experience tells Lu Mingfei that although the demon gods will directly or indirectly participate in the content of the singularity, they are often not the real final BOSS.

If I had to say it, the original King of Singularity ‘Artoria Bertha’ fits this identity.

However, now that Bertha has been defeated, the singularity has not disappeared and is still continuing.

No. Does that really count as a defeat?

Why choose to seal it instead of directly destroying it and letting this singularity simply disappear?

Is it impossible to eliminate it? Or is there some other reason why Bertha needs to continue to exist?

Holmes, who pretended to be 'Merlin pretending to be Sherlock Holmes', didn't make it clear. He looked like the Riddler and seemed to want Chaldea to investigate on his own.

Yes, it’s more of an ‘investigation’ than an ‘adventure’.

It currently looks like a clue to a breakthrough.

"So why did Barbatos choose that time to attack, and then run away so simply after being defeated?"

I don't understand his purpose at all.

If I had to say it, the victim was only Mordred. Mordred was injured while protecting Lilim.

Could it be that Barbatos is targeting Lilim?

After all, although Mordred became the biggest victim, without Mordred, Lilim would have been killed instantly the first time they met.

But why? Is there anything special about Lilim that warrants being targeted in this way?

"Or is this just a cover-up to mislead us and divert our attention to other things that actually don't matter?"

——Actually

Lu Mingfei, or more accurately, the 'Luxiang' who simulated Fujimaru Ritsuka's state of mind before, had already reasoned about the current situation and came to a conclusion.

After lifting the mental simulation, Lu Mingfei looked at the results Lu Xiang gave him and felt a little at a loss.

Lu Xiang was not a riddler, but the answer sounded a bit too crude, so crude that people didn't even know how to complain, and Lu Mingfei didn't know how to respond or take action.

Lu Xiang’s words generally mean this:

"Assuming that Demon God Danterian can exert an ability similar to that of a writer-type Demon God in this singularity environment, will she write her past adventures in Chaldea into a grimoire?"

"Under the worst and most reasonable speculation, Danterian may have mastered the 'Sound of Heaven Assimilation' skill of Saint King Karl to some extent."

"And then?"

".Holmes may be controlled by the assimilation of the voice of heaven."

It is because he was assimilated and controlled by the voice of heaven that Sherlock Holmes became such a Riddler.

But Chaldea has already dealt with the Holy King after all, and knows the specific abilities of the Holy King Karl. Although Tiansheng Assimilation is said to be a brainwashing skill, it will not actually distort personality.

If you were to ask Lu Mingfei to make an analogy, it might be the state of 'the body is controlled by hypnosis but the spirit remains the same' that often appears in some hypnosis books.

Holmes may be an enemy in action, but with his wisdom, he will definitely find ways to help or give tips.

However, if we continue this reasoning and continue to think about it, we will come back to the original problem.

What is the real shady story?

What is the real purpose of the shady story?

The investigation of the London Singularity Abnormalities made a big step forward after Leonardo da Vinci returned and was able to provide occult support, but it also came to a standstill.

Various scattered clues cannot be connected at all, and no connecting point can be found to connect them.

Or maybe there is no point of contact in the first place. At first glance, there are many clues, but in fact they are all smoke bombs, meaningless and useless information used to confuse the situation.

Lu Mingfei thinks this is possible, and the probability is very high. If you want to ask why, it is because the investigation has stalled, and Lu Mingfei and others in the underground wonderland cannot return to the London city above the ground, that is, they are trapped in the academy in disguise. Here, when the investigation has stalled and it is temporarily impossible to continue the investigation, Lu Mingfei's side——

"My advice is to seize the opportunity and work hard to capture girls~ My dear Onii-chan~"

The little succubus, whom I haven't seen for a long time, comes out again to make her presence felt.

Although this look was very cute and in line with Lu Mingfei's hobby, when he took the initiative to do it, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but picture Lu Mingze himself doing this action.

Lu Mingfei actually thought it was quite cute.

But just because he thought that was cute, Lu Mingfei felt a chill.

"Actually, you can lie to me." Lu Mingfei looked at the 'little succubus' in front of him sadly, "For example, tell me that the one in front of me now is not actually played by that slutty brother. That stinky brother has been tortured by Satan or something. The boss called me back, and the little succubus in front of me now is someone else, a real cute girl."

"And she's still the kind of pure virgin succubus who just started working, right?" Lu Mingze showed an expression that said, "Brother, I understand everything you are thinking."

Lu Mingfei: "If that was the case, maybe I would be willing to be deceived and trade my soul with you!"

"It won't work, brother." The little devil showed a particularly hearty smile at this time, "The only thing that won't work is that I have to be my younger brother Lu Mingze in front of you, because this is the initial setting, but other than that I can do anything else. Anyway, for existences like us, the gender division of the human species is meaningless."

"Do you want to say that I am a devil just like you, but I have been playing the role of a useless human man, and ended up getting too involved in the drama and forgetting my true identity? The essence of my deal with you is that I kill myself. Kind of unfold?"

"The answer is correct!" The little devil took out a small salute from somewhere and fired it. Lu Mingfei's face was covered with messy pieces of paper.

Lu Mingfei could only clean up while quarreling with the little devil: "Come on, I have seen similar developments in novels and stories many times. Do you think this kind of lie can deceive me?"

Lu Mingfei showed a look of disdain.

Lu Mingze just smiled and did not continue to delve into this issue. Instead, he changed the subject:

"So brother, have you decided which character to choose next? Let me explain in advance that according to the convention of this kind of story, choosing them all means not choosing them at all."

"Don't make trouble, I will definitely take the harem route when it comes to playing games. As Chinese Santa Claus has a saying, "I want them all"!"

"Brother, are you serious?"

"seriously!"

"Do you have the guts? Are you considered a married person?"

"No!" Lu Mingfei's answer was very impressive.

Perhaps it was because of this habitual bickering that Lu Mingfei felt a little relieved from the previous lecture on Leonardo da Vinci's 'Dark Ages'.

Lu Mingfei is indeed heartless, but people who know him well know that his heartlessness is mainly directed at himself. No matter how unlucky he is, he can easily cheer up or 'pretend that he has never encountered those things', but Lu Mingfei, a weakling, always thinks about other people's bad things and feels uncomfortable for a long time.

The most uncomfortable part is that Lu Mingfei knows very well that there is nothing he can do for the people who have suffered tragic experiences in this era.

Women are miserable, but it is not just women who are miserable, men are also miserable. Dangerous work, low wages, the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The work itself is equivalent to struggling on the line of life and death.

This was such an era. Behind the glory of the Victorian Empire, the sun never set, were countless corpses. Trains of corpses were sent away from London every day.

Dark-style games always tend to use the so-called "Victorian style art design", but the real Victorian era was even darker and more desperate than this.

What's more, there really are mysterious existences in this world.

Anyway.

Da Vinci has already said that although it is a confusing situation now, at least there is an investigation target. Waiting for the next opportunity to leave school, go to the clock tower to investigate and see if you can find the target for 'Artoria... Traces of Bertha's cursed seal.

As long as we investigate clearly what happened before this, we will have a goal for future actions.

before that

There didn't seem to be much to do.

Of course, Lu Mingfei can't be considered relaxed. After all, this place is still set up as a classroom, and Lu still has to take classes, but the class location has been changed from the tutoring room in Chaldea to the Hogwarts Academy of Artificial Intelligence, which is similar to a university classroom layout.

The content of the course also changed from a theoretical magic part to a mechanical dynamics part. After scanning the course schedule, Lu Mingfei realized that if he could complete this process and learn it all, he might be able to build one by himself. Iron knots come out.

Even if the painting style may be a bit steampunk, if you look carefully, the content taught in the course basically revolves around steam engines, gear mechanisms, and various mysterious technologies that combine these, which is the so-called "alchemy".

I am ashamed to say that when Lu Mingfei heard these keywords, the first thing he thought of was not some famous novel with the core of steampunk ideas, but the thought of day and night.

Nonsence! No, I was thinking of the light novel "Smart Girl Will Not Get Hurt".

If you can master all of these, maybe you can actually create a smart doll with the appearance of a beautiful girl——

I always feel that the only people in Chaldea who would pay attention to and think about this matter are Lu Mingfei and Sakura Girl, right?

After all, Chu Zihang's kind is just a fake house.

"."

However, even though that is said, the hands-on practical part is indeed interesting, but the theoretical part, no matter what the subject, is boring and frustrating.

Because of this, Lu Mingfei would get distracted during class, and then habitually start to complain and argue with the little devil who came out to make his presence felt.

"I personally suggest you go find Olga Marie. In the reminder left by 'Lu Xiang', you were also advised to pay more attention to Olga Marie's mental condition, right?"

"It's just a 'suggestion', not a requirement for me to do it."

Lu Mingfei felt guilty and ignored Teacher Circe's piercing gaze on the podium, which seemed to be murderous, and looked at an empty seat not far from him.

That was where Olga Marie should have been.

Ever since she drank the potion that enhanced her magic power and regained her consciousness and normal personality, Olga Marie, who was originally quite cheerful, immediately fell into autistic state due to her mental condition. Courses and other courses were of course I chose to lift it off.

Da Vinci just said to this: "You young people, let the young people solve your own problems. Compared with that, before the plot starts to advance, I also want to collect as much mysterious knowledge as possible in this school~"

These will also become the cornerstones of Chaldea's future development. That's what Leonardo da Vinci meant.

"What should we do? Brother, if we just leave it alone, as time goes by, after the effect of the medicine ends, Olga Marie Animusfia will be falsely identified as 'Olga Marie Animusfia' again. Hermione's covered, although she hid herself because she was expecting it to be like that, but what about you, brother? What are you going to do? Find Olga Marie, talk to her and follow the strategy route?

Or is it that Melusin, who is repairing the equipment damaged in yesterday's battle, has a strong liking for you for no reason, so that he is very suspicious?

Or maybe go and see Mordred and Lilim? "

Lu Mingze smiled and helped Lu Mingfei summarize the various options.

"Who is Mei Luxin?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask because he heard an unfamiliar name.

"It's Mikazuki. Although she doesn't seem to care, you don't really plan to give her the 'Barbatos pilot's name' forever, do you?"

So Melusin is her original name?

I always felt that there was something else in the little devil’s words.

However, now that everything is made so clear, then next——

——[Interactive differences·emergence]——

[Before the next investigation begins, the interaction Lu Mingfei chooses is]

【1/3/7/8, Olga Marie】

【2/4, Meloxin (three crescents)】

【5. Circe】

【6. Mordred】

【9.Lilim】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=7】

Since Lu Mingze said this and Lu Xiang recommended it, then it is really time to visit Olga Marie now, right?

Lu Mingfei knew why Olga Marie was autistic and knew the reasons. However, even without the instigation of these people, Lu Mingfei did have something he wanted to ask Olga Marie.

for example.

After Fuyuki, from the perspective of Lu Mingfei and others, Olga Marie fell into a deep sleep because her soul was damaged.

But what about Olga Marie herself?

Just like the darkness behind the prosperity of the Victorian era, there are also many things in the darkness behind Chaldea that Lu Mingfei doesn't care about, and he needs to confirm with Olga Marie.

"Do you need me to prepare a script book for you, brother?"

"Wouldn't that be a bit hypocritical?"

"Tell me if you want it or not."

"want!"
