[About the ‘Thousand World Tree Family’]

As a product of a world where magicians are seriously injured, Thousand World Tree itself is not a family, but more like a large guild in online games.

The name may seem complicated at first glance, but it’s actually just ‘personal name + family name + guild name’

Corless Fulvig The Thousand World Tree (Yogdomirenia)

Fiore Fulvege Thousand World Tree (Yggdomirenia)

A member of the Thousand World Tree Guild, the siblings of the Fulwig family.

Most of the time, the guild name can be ignored.

【Colles】

In almost all world lines, he will become a student of Waver Velvet. His talent is mediocre, even inferior to Emiya Shirou in this part. He has almost no areas of expertise, but he only has a unique talent for primitive batteries (similar to Caddock's situation).

It's hard to be considered a magician, because before becoming Weber's student, he basically had no formal learning of magic. As a marginal figure in the family, he occasionally and casually conducted some basic learning. His personality is basically equivalent to "knowledge". Ordinary people who exist in the magical world'.

He gives off a strong impression of an 'ordinary person', but his spirit is exceptionally strong. Even when he is alone facing Karna at full strength, he can calmly hold conversations and negotiate. Surprisingly, he is a cruel person who is different from his appearance.

Good at using computers.

A mediocre Servant and Frankenstein's Master.

【Fiore】

In almost all world lines, people will give up their magic circuits and become ordinary people. Naturally mutated geniuses who are not so successful will definitely be able to reach the 'Crown' through the study of alchemical science as long as they are willing. In contrast, What's strange is that, except for alchemical science, Fiore's adaptability to almost all magic is infinitely close to zero.

As a magician, I was not trained at first because of my natural disability of paralysis of the lower body. However, it was soon discovered that the nature of this disability was a side effect of an overly excellent mutant magic circuit, so I hurriedly accepted it after that. He was raised as the patriarch of a family of magicians. His personality is basically that of an ordinary person trying to adapt to the world of magic.

She has a strong impression of a 'mysterious witch', but she is mentally fragile. Although she has been educated as a magician, she cannot accept bloody or cruel actions. In other words, she is a good person.

However, her own alchemy technology creation is different from this. It is highly offensive. Even a third-rate magician can easily kill a first-rate magician after wearing the exoskeleton armor she made. The reason for this is , seems to be because I was influenced by superhero movies.

A superb servant and Chiron's master.

[Sister-sister relationship]

Fiore has the desire to play a supporting role of "let my companions wear my equipment and become superheroes". In other words, she is very bad at fighting.

The relationship between the siblings is not a good one and they are relatively distant. However, because he knows very well that "my sister will definitely die if she is involved in a real battle," he always takes care of her sister unconsciously.

Fiore is in a similar situation. But she felt that her weak and fragile brother would die too easily.

——Lu Mingfei and Cowles became friends.

In fact, this is not the first time Lu Mingfei has heard this name, or even the first time he has met him. For Lu Mingfei, Cowles is an old face that is not familiar to him.

That was before the Chaldean Explosion. At that time, Su Xiaoqiang spent money to buy an online course at the Modern Magic Section of the London Clock Tower. Su Xiaoqiang's teacher was Weber - Zhuge Kongming's disciple - and Cowles was Weber. The student and assistant of Su Xiaoqiang can be regarded as the senior brother of Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei who came to take classes.

Although senior brother Cores's own talents are not that great.

However, for some reason, Lu Mingfei always felt a sense of familiarity with this persona who had little talent, a subtle but approachable personality, and was good at using computers.

It seems that there is often such a 'useless senior brother' around me.

Now that we’ve come to this point, let’s take a look at the specific talents of Cores’ ‘computer application’——

[1D100=92 (My evaluation is, not as good as Master Ka)]

——It feels like you have chosen the wrong professional talent.

Huh? If you put it this way, does this character look more familiar?

Perhaps it was because of this inexplicable sense of déjà vu that when Lu Mingfei came back to his senses, he half-dragged Corless into his team.

Cores himself also has a pretty drifting character. He is now in a state where his memory is covered by the fairy tale barrier. Naturally, he was a poor student and could not escape the clutches of Teacher Circe.

After accidentally getting acquainted with Lu Mingfei, Cowles received the invitation. After confirming that "participating in the Cinderella Cup can get extra points," he readily joined Lu Mingfei's team.

Oh, now it’s the joint team of Lu Mingfei + Mikazuki Meiluxin.

Although his memory was overwritten, his talent and personality remained unchanged, and Corless quickly became a very important member of the maintenance staff of Mecha Pegasus.

At the end of the month, with the holidays coming, Lu Mingfei and others planned to return to London on the ground to discuss clues with Holmes.

However, at this time, because of the confirmation of the identity of the 'outside school competitor', Kaulesh's memory covered by the fairy tale world also received a wave of refresh.

Specifically -

Cowles, who was still wearing an apron with some traces of grease on his body, found Lu Mingfei who was about to go out, stopped him, and mentioned this matter:

"Speaking of which, my sister seems to have become the exchange student representative of Thousand World Tree Academy. She should be Cinderella over there."

Corles paused, then relaxed a little when he saw that Lu Mingfei's attitude had not changed.

"Well, as long as you don't mind, I'm just mentioning it just in case. I told her that we are siblings, but our relationship is not that good. She won't betray or switch sides just because we are blood relatives. Rather, compared to me who has no special talents, I can reveal some information about my sister to you."

In fact, unless Kaulez said so, Lu Mingfei would not have thought of such a thing as "Will Kaulez rebel?"

Lu Mingfei naturally believed in Cowles. Even Lu Mingfei couldn't explain why he believed in him so much. Maybe it's really because of some familiar sense of déjà vu.

Moreover, Corless is indeed very useful as a tool man. Leonardo da Vinci also said that he is unexpectedly talented in making living artificial human beings - although he is the kind of "Frankenstein" who is relatively unpopular in the field of artificial human beings. aspect.

The evil-minded Lilim stopped pretending to be good now. When she was separated from Cores, she immediately started to propose to Lu Mingfei: "How about we use this relationship to get information about the Thousand World Tree team that competes with us?"

Although Cowles might have to suffer a little if he did this, Lu Mingfei felt that this idea was still feasible.

Classmate Cowles, who was busy repairing some of the damaged systems of the Mecha Pegasus, shivered inexplicably.

Of course, Lilim believed that there was more information contained in this matter about Kaulesh than Kaulesh's speech.

"Before this, Kaulez didn't know that his sister was a representative from another school. With his character, if he knew, he would tell us immediately. Therefore, the moment he confirmed his quota for the competition outside, he was attracted by this fairy tale The world itself is refreshed and given 'memory content that conforms to the logic of development'."

On the elevator going to the ground, Lilim suddenly told Lu Mingfei this.

Lu Mingfei nodded as if he understood: "Oh, so what?"

"This kind of intelligence refresh is completed instantly. In other words, Holmes in London above ground should also be given 'intelligence content consistent with the setting' in an instant."

Lilim narrowed her eyes slightly, a rather ferocious gaze flickering inside.

"In other words, with Holmes' ability, he should at least know 'almost all the information about the contestants.' When we meet him later, if he pretends not to know and asks us to help investigate, it means there is really something wrong with him!"

Lu Mingfei actually didn't quite understand how Lilim came to this result, but compared to the suspicious Riddler Holmes, Lu Mingfei naturally believed in his stupidity.

"What if Holmes tells everything?" Lu Mingfei asked again.

"Then" Lilim hesitated, "actually it doesn't clear Holmes' suspicion."

"It sounds like he's pretty unlucky."

"That's not the point. The point is that we have no other suspects except him now. The King of Singularity is by his side. If he is not the shady, who is the shady? In the final analysis, the biggest mystery of this singularity now is, I just can’t find anyone worthy of suspicion.”

"Is Holmes a worthy suspect? Why do you think so?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"Actually, I personally don't think the statement that Holmes is a prisoner is unconvincing. It's just that there is really no other option. According to Holmes's own famous saying, after eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how outrageous the remaining answer is, it is the correct answer. ,Is not it?"

"I actually didn't think it was that complicated." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Maybe the shady character is a character who hasn't appeared yet?"

Lu Mingfei's idea was very simple: "That Barbatos must be the shady one, right? Besides, if you think about it carefully, our Chaldean method of repairing the singularity is not essentially to eliminate the shady side, but to recover the Holy Grail. As long as By recovering the Holy Grail, the Singularity will be destroyed, and then we can focus on the Cinderella Cup."

Although Lu Mingfei said so.

But with Lilim's character, it was naturally impossible for Lu Mingfei to do what Lu Mingfei said was open-minded at best, and loose-minded at worst.

However, Lu Mingfei has always adopted the attitude of "you come up with solutions" when dealing with his companions.

Compared to the scheming Lilim, Lu Mingfei actually cared more about Mordred who was following him.

I couldn't see him last time, but this time it's different. Although Lu Mingfei has already said, "Although that Alice Watson looks exactly like King Arthur, she is not King Arthur. Don't think too much about it." , but Mordred was still a little nervous.

Or excited?

In fact, there was no need for Mordred to follow him, because Lu Mingfei's main purpose on this trip was to bring down Holmes - as well as Dr. Watson, the android group, and his wife Matthew.

Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, if you pull them all together and take a good look, then everything will be fine, right?

Holmes had previously stated the reason why he could not come down, but now that Da Vinci has broken free from the control of the fairy tale world, he can freely use the identity of the 'Dean of Gryffindor' he was given to make peace for the people he originally stayed in. The collective green light has been given by fellow Londoners above ground.

Just be a member of the Cinderella cup plug campaign team and pull it off together.

There was nothing special about coming here.

The city of London in 1888 was still as bad as ever, but on the walls of the streets and alleys, you could see some flyers about the Cinderella Cup from time to time, because this time there was more content about fighting against foreign school teams, so in During part of the competition—specifically, the battle part—the academy will be open to the public.

Anyway, in Lu Mingfei's opinion, "This setting is too academic for a light novel, isn't it?"

When I arrived at Baker Street, I knocked on the door of 221B. The person who came to open the door was still the beautiful and plump Miss Watson.

Even though Lu Mingfei had emphasized it, Mordred still couldn't help shouting when he saw Dr. Watson in person.

Like a naughty child, Mordred pointed at Dr. Watson's chest rudely and yelled such strange words as "Liar! How can my father have such a magnificent thing!"

Lu Mingfei threw Mordred to Dr. Watson who looked confused and troubled without much thought.

"Is Ma Xiu here?" Lu Mingfei asked casually.

"Matthew is patrolling with the children from the Baker Street Squad." Although he was troubled by Mordred's yelling, Dr. Watson still answered Lu Mingfei's question very simply, "Are you looking for Xia Locke's, right? You came just in time, he stayed up all night and was sorting out the information for the Cinderella Girls Cup."

Dr. Watson yawned at this.

"I have been busy for a long time, and I have an unexpected amount of luggage to pack, because Sherlock said that we will go to Hogwarts Academy with you next and become supporters of your participating team."

Lu Mingfei and Lilim looked at each other.

what is this?

Was Lilim's prediction predicted by Holmes?

☆

The following period went very smoothly, so smoothly that even Lu Mingfei felt something was not right.

Just like one of the results Lilim speculated, Holmes noticed a lot of extra information overnight, and had already completed the compilation and analysis of the information all night long. Because the time on the ground and underground were synchronized for only one day a month, they had already Be prepared to move.

Not only that, Holmes has even found out the information of all other contestants.

"The Thousand World Tree delegation, the candidate is named Fiore, but the core of the Jiji technical team is the legendary puppet master-Avis Bronn."

"The Argo delegation, the candidate's name is Kirshtalia. She is from Chaldea. The core of the ingenious technical team should be the mythical witch Medea."

"Then there is the delegation that I personally care about, the London Clock Tower delegation. The candidate is named...well, the person who calls himself Irene Adler is also an old acquaintance, but the person in charge of the core of the ingenuity technology is Nikolai... Tesla is extraordinary. I know this man. Although he is only slightly famous at the moment, he has the ability to change the world."

"In comparison, who is the core of our ingenuity and technology here?"

Holmes, who looked like Fufu, suddenly looked at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei, who didn't feel much at first, suddenly felt ashamed after hearing Holmes' introduction to the enemy: "Uh, that one seems to be me?"

"It's really a challenging competition." Holmes said with great emotional intelligence.

but.

"In fact, we are not without a chance of winning. In fact, we are opponents, but there is no endless conflict between us and them. On the contrary, there is a lot of room for cooperation. For example, this Kirshtalia, I am from Matthew So you know, he’s good at astrology, right?”

"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded subconsciously and replied.

"That's good. I often deal with Gypsies, and I know a little bit about them - how about we find an opportunity to get in touch with her first? Since she is good at astrology, I would like to ask her a question about divination."

"what is the problem?"

"Who is the shady person who controls this singularity now? I want to ask her this question."

Lu Mingfei subconsciously glanced at Lilim, who was expressionless, or rather pale.
