Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

53. The astrologer’s opinion

Although it is basically not mentioned here because the main perspective is not here, Kirshtalia also experienced incredible adventures.

In other words, it was the unfortunate experience of being cheated.

Where do all the problems lie?

Who plotted against Kirshtalia?

The initial point of disagreement, or rather the initial problem, actually came from Kirshtalia’s ‘habits’.

What are the habits of Kirshtalia?

The answer is ‘divination’ – which, although not entirely accurate, can also be described as ‘telling the future’.

As a person whose talent in celestial magic surpasses that of the Animusfia monarch - Olga Marie is not as good as Kirshtalia, and the old director Marisbili's talent is a bit skewed towards biotechnology - —Even an unknown genius like Kirshtalia has some not-so-good habits.

It is difficult to predict the future, but Kirshtalia can do it relatively easily. Under such circumstances, Kirshtalia's every move relies too much on "predicting the future", so the human reason is burned. Only when you give up will you suffer serious consequences.

Time is actually a very subtle thing. Lu Mingfei mentioned this during his Shi Chuanquan lecture and will not go into details here. Therefore, although the ability to predict the future is very convenient and easy to use, it is not omnipotent.

From a macro time perspective, Kirshtalia cannot predict the future of human incineration, because standing at Kirshtalia's time point, that is, in Kirshtalia's 'prediction' In the 'future picture', there is no future in which humanity is burned away.

On the day of the first spiritual transfer, Kirshtalia naturally made observations about the future.

But nothing happened.

He didn't even foresee Leif detonating the bomb.

After falling into the sea of ​​imaginary numbers and relying on Ophelia's magic eye to project her consciousness into the singularity, Kirshtalia had a good time to reflect.

On that day, what was the real reason why Kirshtalia, who was theoretically the most powerful combatant, was directly tricked to death?

Answer: It was calculated

Professor Leif naturally knew Kirshtalia's ability. Therefore, the person who actually detonated the explosion was probably not Leif, but the Demon King in the Deep Temple of Time.

The Demon King detonated the bomb in Chaldea and burned the history of mankind at the same time, because the Crown Time Temple where the Demon King is located does not exist on any timeline. For those who live on the timeline and predict the future along the timeline For Kirshtalia, it was equivalent to the entire timeline being messed up and burned down at that moment.

It can only be said that it was targeted.

Kirshtalia, who was projected on the sea at a singular point in the Atlantic Ocean, naturally had to reflect on her own problems.

However, the ability to predict the future is really useful, and Kirshtalia is indeed used to relying on this ability.

Of course, Kirshtalia predicted the future.

Here is an important point of disagreement.

Kirshtalia didn't know about the problem between Lu Mingfei and Katniss, who was now equivalent to the incarnation of Poseidon.

After predicting that Katniss had the attribute of "madness" and would kill Lu Mingfei, Kirshtalia acted without hesitation.

He has always been a person who keeps his promises. He said before that he would protect Lu Mingfei, so he must do it.

Therefore, Kirshtalia habitually took action based on 'predicting the future'.

This time he was not careless.

Instead, he continued to use ‘Future Prediction (Divination)’ to carefully analyze the enemy’s combat effectiveness, and came to the conclusion that ‘it would be difficult to fight head-on’, so ‘then I will be responsible for holding back Katniss’.

Since it is not a head-on confrontation, but a delay, Kirshtalia's magic would naturally choose to borrow the power of Pluto to create the Hat of Hades, and use this most advanced invisibility technique to force Kai Nice.

Kirshtalia's judgment is absolutely correct.

However, after that, a series of unexpected changes occurred, which ultimately led to Kirshtalia's current result——

Well, I originally wanted to use illusion to disguise myself, but the illusion went out of control and could not be restored, and was caught by Katniss. Then Katniss met Jason, the captain of the Argonauts, who came to see her, an old crew member, return to the team. Just like that, Kil Shtalia somehow got into the Argonauts.

After learning that the supporter behind the Argonauts was BB, Kirshtalia actually doubted whether the series of accidents he had experienced were all planned by BB behind the scenes.

But after getting familiar with the situation, this speculation was quickly overturned.

BB does have a plan of her own, but almost without exception her plans get out of control due to 'variables'.

BB summoned Hecate.

Because of the chain of fate, Circe, the independent incarnation of Hecate, was also pulled along.

Because Circe didn't want to get involved in troublesome things, she opened the barrier and hid herself while doing the bare minimum to help BB.

As a result, Lu Mingfei decided to take the water route because of Kenneth's suggestion.

Then he accidentally broke into Circe's island.

Then, due to the attraction of Lu Mingfei and others, Veleslana appeared. Because of Veleslana, Circe's magic went out of control and turned into a battle between Veleslana and Mekar.

And because of the battle between Veleslana and Mekar, the lurking ancient god Athena found an opportunity to kill her.

Then?

Because Athena in hiding took back her identity as Pluto, the power of Pluto borrowed by Kirshtalia went out of control, and then now.

No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for someone to be behind this series of accidents.

The most reasonable statement is that the existence of Hecate, the king of singularities and the goddess of three phases, even if she does not actively do anything, as long as she exists, various 'opportunities' and 'variables' will continue to emerge.

Kirshtalia can only be described as unlucky.

But he - now it's 'she' - she has always been an optimistic person. After all, Kirshtalia's current situation can be regarded as an accidental attack when the enemy did not expect it. You bumped into the enemy's base camp, didn't you?

Also, when Jason, who was afraid of being retaliated by Castor or Medea, chose her, a new member of 'Ordinary People', as the Cinderella girl because of his cowardice, Kirsch Thalia is very optimistic and feels that this is also her luck.

Taking this opportunity, she decided to try something bolder, such as asking a question that Kirshtalia had wanted to ask for a long time.

On the way to the singularity in London, Kirshtalia pretended to take a walk and came to Jason who was blowing the sea breeze on the deck, and asked casually:

"Captain, why do you want to listen to the person named BB? If I remember correctly, she should be the mastermind behind all this chaos, right?"

Although the current situation seems to have long been out of BB's control.

But Kirshtalia’s question has not yet been resolved.

Why did Jason obey BB's will?

Jason just glanced at Kirshtalia.

During the Sea Princess period, Katniss was an extremely beautiful woman - after all, she was the woman who attracted Poseidon's attention and even gave away the trident - but Jason now has Medea Lily watching over him. Naturally, he did not dare to act rashly.

He blew the somewhat uncomfortable sea breeze and replied casually:

"Why do you ask that? Or why do you think we shouldn't obey her orders?"

If people hadn't had to bow their heads under the roof, Kirshtalia would have really wanted to say at this moment, "Don't answer questions with questions!"

But now Kirshtalia could only pretend to be a good girl, and said stupidly and naively: "Because you are the legendary heroes! I know a little bit about the mysteries of the Greek system, so I know Your legend, how can a hero like you obey the orders of a bad guy?”

"Because we were summoned by her."

"The bondage of the contract? Sister Medea can destroy that kind of thing at any time if she wants to, right?"

"."

Jason originally thought Kirshtalia was an unlucky ordinary person who unexpectedly boarded the ship. Jason narrowed his eyes.

It seemed that he was feeling a little uncomfortable due to the sea breeze.

". Let me tell you, you seem to have made something wrong. Do heroes never do bad things? No, you seem to think that heroes are good people? Good people don't do bad things?"

Kirshtalia frowned. She realized that Jason was avoiding the original topic, but at this time she could only continue to cooperate and pretend: "Isn't it?"

"There are so many things that can be said clearly about right and wrong in this world. Depending on the situation, good people may do bad things, and evil bad people may also do good things. What's more, the so-called Greek heroes and the so-called Argonauts Hero, although I am proud of myself for gathering such a group of people, I still know that in the eyes of many people, we are just a group of robbers."

Jason showed an expression that seemed troublesome, and scratched his short hair that was a little messy by the sea breeze.

"In the final analysis, the so-called journey of the Argonauts and the Golden Fleece is essentially just rushing to other people's countries to snatch their treasures. This thing itself is actually quite stupid - just like the 'navigation' thing It’s the same thing in itself, it’s a very stupid thing.”

Kirshtalia was really surprised now: "As one of the most famous maritime adventurers, do you actually think so?"

"What's weird about this? The so-called heroes are basically a bunch of idiots, except for me of course. As a man, I am indeed an idiot, but as a hero, I am not. After all, girl, what do you think of the 'heroes' of our time? What's the difference from 'robber'?"

"Is this respected?"

Jason seemed to have heard some funny joke and burst into laughter.

"Respect? It's true if you insist on saying that, but most heroes don't realize that what they do is actually no different from robbers and bandits. That's why I say that they are idiots as heroes, but I am different. I At least he knows what he’s doing, even though he’s often said that he doesn’t look like a hero at all.”

Jason shook his head.

"It's actually not that complicated. The gap between the so-called Greek heroes and robbers and bandits is actually..."

"Although they are all doing the same thing, there is 'glory' ahead for the heroes?"

Kirshtalia suddenly interrupted.

She suddenly became interested in this captain who looked like a clown at first glance, but didn't seem to be that simple.

"Take the story of the Golden Fleece as an example. Your Argonauts' robbery is glorious. If you want to ask why, it is because you have the support of the gods - especially the Queen Hera. That is, the Greek gods have given you the blessings for your actions. 'Glorious'."

Jason looked at Kirshtalia with some surprise.

He nodded, then shook his head.

"If it is to Teacher Chiron, your answer is a standard answer, but to me it is wrong. I think that the so-called glory of banditry among us heroes is not given by the gods - in the final analysis, no matter whether it is given or not Granted, the essence of banditry has not changed. What really makes them "seem to be glorious" is actually us so-called heroes who commit banditry. Glory does not exist, at least not objectively, it only exists subjectively. In the hearts of each robber, this makes the robbers think that they have become heroes."

"I didn't expect that Captain Jason you would actually say such a thing."

"What's so strange? Because I'm different from them. From the very beginning, I didn't think the Golden Fleece trip was any glorious thing to praise. What I'm proud of is not the matter itself, but that I was able to succeed. I am a human being who summoned such a group of demigod monsters. Besides, aren’t there similar versions of the saying ‘Only those with the consciousness to kill can kill’ have existed in various eras?”

Jason leaned on the railing of the deck, glanced at Medea who was hiding in the shadows and peering over, and replied casually:

"I'm different from those stupid heroes, and I'm also different from Hercules who was involved in the process, temporarily boarded the ship and then left. I said that from the beginning, I didn't think that robbing the Golden Fleece was a serious matter. What kind of glory is there? I know this is a dirty act that is whitewashed, and I am ready for revenge - the Golden Fleece? Although that thing is glittering, it itself does not have the glory I hope for, at least, The glory I expect is not there, but after I take away the golden fleece, exchange it for my country, and then govern that country into a paradise. If I can do that, I think my glory should be there. In paradise, on the faces of those who live happily.”

Jason seemed lost in memories.

"To be honest, the people of the country with the Golden Fleece are actually not living a good life. This makes me relieved. It's not bad when I think about it, but it does make me feel that my actions are correct. .As long as I can successfully build a happy country, then everything I have done before can be decorated with beautiful gold foil."

Jason seemed to be sighing.

But for those who know Jason—the ending of the legend of the Argonauts, such as Kirshtalia, they have mixed feelings.

"It's because I failed in life that I wanted to pursue it again after becoming a Heroic Spirit. The Holy Grail? I don't want that suspicious thing that feels full of lies. It's better to say that I don't want to touch it at all, and I haven't thought about it. Relying on that kind of thing to gain glory is right. What I do for BB now is actually just the struggle of a loser. At least this time, I hope to create something that can really be called 'glory' and worthy of being a 'hero'. The true merit of the name.”

Jason paused.

Then, seemingly inadvertently, he said this sentence:

"Like [saving the world] or something."

"!?"

Jason patted Kirshtalia who seemed to notice something.

Then he suddenly changed into a joking tone:

"So, if you have any special skills to hide, then tell them all. As the captain, I don't mind giving you a stage where you can shine~ Otherwise, with Hercules and I here, most people can't do it at all. Without a chance to show off, the enemies will be swept away by us~"

"."

Kirshtalia suddenly let out a breath.

(As expected of the old director of Chaldea, Jason, the servant originally expected to be summoned, may not be as simple as it seems)

That being the case.

"Then, can you do me a favor? Captain, I hope everyone on the Argonaut can do me a favor."

"Huh? Do you really have something to hide? Are you hiding a special move or something like that? Tell me about it?"

"I hope that everyone, mainly Sister Medea, can do me a favor. I am a celestial magician, and performing magic requires a lot of troublesome ritual preparations."

"Celestial magician? The one who borrows the power of the planet? What do you want to borrow?" Jason asked casually, and at the same time shouted to the corner where Medea was hiding: "Medea, you are hiding too, come out and help us This is the new crew member."

".Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury."

Kirshtalia murmured to herself, then smiled easily.

"Just be a little more stable and let the 'solar system' become my magic circuit."

Jason: ".?"
