Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

93. Lu Mingfei’s Gun

A big test about the secret treasure of Monte Cristo——

As expected, everything failed.

Lu Mingfei originally thought that Chu Zihang might succeed. After all, Lu Mingfei himself couldn't imagine when the embryo-killer would despair and give up. However, not only did Chu Zihang fail, but his temperament was extremely bad, and he even almost He was burned by the secret treasure of Monte Cristo.

How can Senior Brother with facial paralysis be so brave? Isn't there something wrong with this?

Why is the compatibility so bad?

It was Kong Ming who revealed the truth: "Just look at what you recorded about him and you will know. Rather than saying that this guy never gives up and always hopes to survive regardless of any crisis, it is better to say that he is born to die and fights hard." He didn't think about his own life or death at all when he got up. He is not the kind of person who always believes that there is still a chance of improvement. He is the type who will jump up and bite the enemy with his teeth even if he has decided that there is no hope. To put it bluntly, He is actually a guy with serious 'self-destructive tendencies'."

Self-destructive tendencies?

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with this statement. Even Lu himself had personal experience, saying that the most powerful time for Lu Mingfei was actually at the beginning of the adventure, when Chaldea had just exploded. Lu Mingfei, who lacked confidence in himself, chose to imitate the man he knew best and was the most powerful when his personality was on the verge of collapse, which was Chu Zihang.

Looking back now, Lu Mingfei's playing style in Lu Zihang mode, especially when playing Athena, he decided to trade his life for his life without thinking. The change of thinking was as natural as eating and drinking.

At this point, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a lingering fear.

People like Chu Zihang would not believe words like hope and trust in such words. He rarely even thinks. He is more like a weapon than a human being. A weapon will only do what it should do at the moment. , will not consider what happens after the destruction.

It may be natural to use it as a weapon, but Chu Zihang is a human being. At least Lu Mingfei thinks that he is a human being, just a little twisted. For humans, this self-destructive tendency is actually a flaw that will make him ignore it blindly. There were some small turning points.

——If you think so

Among the people Lu Mingfei knew, Sakura Girl was the only one who met the conditions for using the Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo.

Although the only journey she actually spent with her was the prologue to Fuyuki, even when she was in Fuyuki, Sakura-mei only really stood up during the final battle.

However, at that time, facing the overwhelming and powerful firepower of the Demon God King, everyone except Lu Mingfei was shouting "Escape quickly" and "Olga Marie is hopeless and we have to give up on her!" ".

In fact, Lu Mingfei himself had already given up and was in despair. Only truly desperate people would call for a miracle, so Lu Mingfei chose to trade with the little devil. For Lu Mingfei, the transaction itself was It is equivalent to him thinking that "there is no way to break the situation" - in fact, it is also "desperate".

But Sakura Girl is different.

She didn't give up until the last moment. She transformed into the Heroic Knight for the first time, ate the Holy Grail, and received the Demon King's firepower head-on for an instant, buying enough time for Lu Mingfei.

"Have hope"

This sentence sounds simple, but how many people can actually do it?

Kong Ming said: In the story told by Haidee, when Ritsuka finally summoned Drake and was able to face off with Lady Bertha, she was attacked by the demon god Barbatos and was actually in a desperate situation.

Even Kong Ming couldn't think of any other way to break the situation.

Rather, it would be a miracle in the eyes of ordinary people to be able to truly fight in the wild hunting of gods to that extent.

But Lu Mingfei felt that Sakura Girl must have a way, and she would definitely not give up.

——But then again.

Lu Mingfei looked at Mikayue and Miss Cardo speechlessly?

Wait, why did Lu Mingfei subconsciously find Miss Cardo when he was looking for someone to test? Are you familiar with her?

Forget it, that's not the point now.

"So why do you two also have serious 'self-destructive tendencies'?"

Miss Cardo's answer was perfunctory: "As a magician, as long as my research can be passed down, life and death don't matter, right? Rather, if I can complete the project as long as I give my own life, then I will not hesitate. Just do it.”

Lu Mingfei was speechless.

Kong Ming thought it made sense: "The Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo is a treasure of the church. It is not difficult to understand that it has this kind of restriction mechanism for magicians - after all, most magicians think this way."

"Really?" Lu Mingfei stared at Kong Ming.

"Of course." Kong Ming nodded without thinking.

Lu Mingfei could only look at San Riyue again: "Then what's going on with you?"

Mikayuki actually put on a proud expression and raised her chest: "As the strongest species, even if I fall or die for a time, I will definitely rise from the ashes! I will only become stronger when I stand up again!"

"A Saiyan, you!?"

Lu Mingfei was really speechless.

For a moment, I didn’t know if Mikazuki was being serious or just being serious.

Kong Ming felt that this restriction setting was very subtle: "Perhaps this is the most ingenious thing about the restriction setting of this thing. Almost all non-human beings or spiritual non-human beings cannot use it. Only ordinary people can use it. It can be used only by those who have experienced despair and then gained enlightenment. The so-called 'real braves' who always hold on to hope and defeat despair head-on with courage. The existence of the Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo can be said to be a gift for such people. As a The restrictions can be said to be impeccable. Then again, after all these years, an ordinary user who was accidentally involved appeared due to a 'coincidence'. In this way, the Holy Church is considered a failure. Well, even this can be lost, but it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with Christ, right?”

Kong Ming thought to himself. As a scholar, it is really uncomfortable to have such a good thing in front of you but not know how to study it.

A true warrior?

Lu Mingfei thought of his little bitch.

The imaginary Fujimaru Ritsuka has little devil-like head horns and tails sprouting from behind her head and buttocks.

Even so, Lu Mingfei also believed that Fujimaru Ritsuka was a real brave man.

The secret treasure of Monte Cristo. If it can’t be used, it can’t be used. Where should I put it for now? What if it comes in handy at some point?

[Chekhov's Gun Theory] Lu Mingfei also knows: if a gun is seen in the first act, then in a story that follows the traditional three-act structure, it should be used in the third act. Vice versa, the act of shooting in the third act should have been foreshadowed much earlier.

Now that it has appeared, keep it well and remember its effects and conditions of use. What if it comes in handy?

☆

Before the decisive battle begins, Lu Mingfei has one last thing left to deal with.

The last thing in every sense of the word.

Whether it's completing Kong Ming's favorability task, receiving the completed [Light of Sirius] from Olga Marie, or solving the problem between Mikazuki and Olga Marie before the final battle begins.

This is the end.

At first glance, it seems that three things can be solved at the same time.

But besides the first two things, the third thing was too difficult.

Lu Mingfei was in trouble and didn't even know what to say.

——In the end, it was Animusfia who was at fault.

Mikayue's behavior is too extreme?

No, no, it’s better to say that Lu Mingfei was led underground by the little devil on Christmas Eve on Hui Liyi’s birthday. After seeing the dark side hidden in Chaldea, Lu Mingfei couldn’t help it no matter what. It's impossible to say where Mikazuki's behavior was wrong.

Rather, Uesugi Eri's situation - not hating Chaldea at all, not rejecting Animusfia at all, loving everyone including Olga Marie - this situation is abnormal. of.

Before the birth of the finished product, Mash, too many corpses of failed products were buried in the ground. They were even used as a reference for improving experimental subjects. They were forced to live or die, and were soaked in cans without their limbs being intact. Accept research

She has been sealed underground, but she can still maintain a personality that seems to be normal at first glance. This kind of Eri should be the "broken" side, right?

Because Sanriyue's attitude was taken for granted, Lu Mingfei, who even understood the cause and effect, actually supported Sanriyue in his heart, so it was hard to say anything.

It is said that in order to untie a bell, one must tie the bell. Especially since Maris Billy, the old director of the bell tie, has long been gone, what can be done?

Olga Marie inherited Chaldea and everything in Chaldea, including the dark secrets underground. But in the end, she was weak and did nothing. She just tried her best to treat Matthew as kindly as possible, but she treated the innocent souls underground. I didn't know how to deal with it, so I ended up pretending to be dead like an ostrich.

It's not so much that she doesn't know how to face it, it's more that she doesn't dare to face it at all.

It seems very troublesome in the current situation.

"The problem between Mikazuki and Olga Marie must be solved, at least it must seem to be solved, otherwise we will definitely suffer from it when facing the real enemy in this level."

Lu Mingfei agreed with Kong Ming's idea.

So how to implement it specifically?

"What do you think, Cardo?"

"Why did you decide to ask me?" Miss Cardo held her forehead and sighed.

When asked this question, Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment and began to think about the reason for this - because Lu Mingfei himself didn't think too deeply about it. He was just thinking about who to seek advice from to solve this problem. Subconsciously, I came to find Kado.

"Actually, I vaguely feel that I have lost the memory of someone. That person is very familiar to me. Maybe it is you? It seems that this is the only thing that can explain why I feel so familiar with you. Bar?"

Miss Cardo touched her chin: "I'm thinking whether you want to pick me up."

"There's no way this is possible!"

"Okay, okay, let me think about it and be reasonable. I'm not familiar with the conflict between these two people, so I think you should ask these people. I think they should be able to give you advice."

Miss Cardo thought for a while, and then gave Lu Mingfei some examples.

Although he wanted to say that Miss Cardo's behavior was like outsourcing the work, Lu Mingfei still seriously considered these candidates.

"Of course" Miss Cardo added, "If you really want to get an answer from me, then I will give you my suggestions, but I don't guarantee that my suggestions can solve the problem between Mikazuki and Olga. question."

Then, Lu Mingfei’s choice is——

——Observation divergence point appears——

[In order to solve the problem between Olga Marie and Mikazuki Melusin, who does Lu Mingfei decide to go to for a solution (different people have different solutions)]

【1/7, Find Leonardo da Vinci】

【2/8, go find Queen Morgan】

【3. Seek Kado’s opinion】

【4. Go to Xia Mi】

【5. Go to Kong Ming】

【6. Find Circe】

【9. Go find Moriarty】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=4】

☆

In fact, regarding the question of who to seek help from, Lu Mingfei subconsciously thought of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

intuition?

If I insist on saying it, it is actually well-founded. Lu Mingfei has made several transactions with Lu Mingze so far. The so-called transaction is actually cheating. Even when facing the Complete Body Saint King, Lu Mingfei Ze can also tell Lu Mingfei: "As long as you make the transaction, I will help you handle it!"

But it was different with Fuyuki.

During the time in Fuyuki, Lu Mingze admitted frankly from the beginning that this was a situation that he could not guarantee to solve, and even promised Lu Mingfei a so-called 'free trial period' for this reason.

Who is the person who really solves the Fuyuki Incident and brings the Fuyuki Incident to a perfect ending in a dangerous situation?

Lu Mingfei didn't feel that it was him who cheated the last step, but that it was Sakura who helped him have the chance to save Olga Marie in the last ditch.

This is why after the personality simulation skill is unlocked, except for Chu Zihang during battle, Lu Mingfei's first reaction most of the time is to simulate Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Lu Mingfei subconsciously felt that Sakura Girl was the smartest person, and the boy who followed the crowd subconsciously wanted to seek answers from that girl, as if she would be able to solve it.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka is not here now, so who should I look for?

When Xia Mi's name appeared on the list given by Kaduo, Lu Mingfei subconsciously connected the two people.

Indeed, if there is anyone who Lu Mingfei thinks is most similar to Fujimaru Ritsuka, it is undoubtedly Natsumi.

Although everyone thinks Xia Mi is like a female version of Lu Mingfei. What kind of inexplicable closed loop is this?

However, Lu Mingfei still made a judgment.

Go to Xia Mi for a solution!

Lu Mingfei found the problem and then explained his purpose. Xia Mi thought for a moment, then immediately put on a serious look and looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes:

"Is it possible that instead of asking me directly for the solution, should we go to Olga Marie first to confirm whether she has completed the 'Light of Sirius'?"

"."

So Lu Mingfei, Xia Mi, and Eri, who continued to follow the photo, went to find Olga Marie.

"Olga, have you finished the Sirius Light?"

——Observation divergence point appears——

[About Olga Marie’s work, the project to imitate the ‘Great Command Spell (Light of Sirius)’]

[1/2. Only one was completed, so I had to take a trick and divide one into nine parts]

[3/4, completed two pieces]

[5/6, completed three pieces]

[7/8, 1D10 determines how many pieces have been completed]

【9. Completed four】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=2】

Olga Marie hesitated, with the word 'ashamed' written all over her face, as if she was about to cry at any moment after taking out the results.

Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei were both stunned, and immediately shouted together: "This is it!"

——to be continued!

[Information currently available for disclosure (not included in the number of charged words)]

【Light of Muse】

A replica coat of arms made by Olga Marie based on the Great Command Spell.

Because it is a counterfeit, it does not have the effects of 'power to save the world', 'destiny to save the world' and 'special attack on alien monsters'.

No matter from any angle, it cannot be called [the light of salvation].

Even so, as a coat of arms infused with the creator's wishes, it still has an excellent effect of 'attracting good luck and avoiding evil'.

Due to limited ability and time, Olga Marie, who was unable to make one copy for all the members of the Muses, chose to split a complete coat of arms into nine parts and gave them to the nine temporary members of the Muses.

Only the combination of nine people can achieve the desired effect. Although this has caused the effect to continue to decline, as a commemorative coat of arms, it can be considered a complete completion, right?

Because the starlight in the sky has the function of 'guiding the way' since ancient times, as a by-product after the split, when the nine members are separated, as long as their hearts are eager to find companions, the starlight poured into them will guide the other fragments. position.

Although it is just a temporary idol group game like a joke, just looking at the coat of arms seems to bring back memories of the past.

What shines in the light of the Muse is the wish of the stargazing girl.

Even if they are just companions for a short time, like falling meteors, they still hope from the bottom of their hearts that everyone except themselves can get a happy ending——
