122. Darian/The Black Flame of the Hunting God

Now that we have arrived in London in 1888, it is natural to look for the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, just like Conan in "The Ghost of Baker Street".

Especially after Shakespeare said, "Sir Conan Doyle told me that Sherlock Holmes really existed~".

But before that, they had to give a name to the nameless revenge ghost that was born - a ghost girl who hated Chaldea.

Mashu is naturally not good at this, and Fujimaru Ritsuka is not British anyway. If you ask her to pick it up, she can only give it to Western names that often appear like 'Catherine' or 'Alice'.

The task of coming up with a name naturally fell to Shakespeare.

"How about calling her 'Melusin' for now?"

"The body that gave birth to her came from the Dragon of Albion in London. In other words, she was like a scale and a half claw that fell off the corpse of the Dragon of Albion. Naturally, she had to be named something related to the dragon, right? It happened to be 1888. London is the era when the fairy tale of Alice, the underground wonderland, was born, so how about calling her after the fairy dragon - the fairy dragon 'Melusine' in the French folk fairy tale?"

"But it's a racial name, so I'll use it as a pronoun first and think about the real name later."

The silent Melusine did not respond to Shakespeare's words.

Just looking at the thick fog in the foggy city of Londinion, it seemed that there was something hidden behind this layer of lightly corrosive fog, attracting her attention.

In this way, the first thing Fujimaru Ritsuka, Lu Mingfei and others did after arriving in London was exactly the same.

However, the next step is different.

Fujimaru Ritsuka could not find Holmes immediately. To be more precise, he could not find Holmes' residence, which is the famous Building 221B Baker Street.

This is actually a normal situation, because in reality, although there was Baker Street in Londinion in 1888, the highest number was only 85.

By the way, the B in 221B is not the English letter B, but the French bis, which refers to the fact that there are two families here.

But this is not a problem for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Since we can think of finding Holmes, the enemies who operate the singularity can also think of it - Holmes himself must also want to find it."

That's just basic reasoning, ladies and gentlemen. Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression seemed to be saying something like this.

In fact, in the stories of "The Detectives of Sherlock Holmes", Holmes often makes actions that are more like using superpowers to know the answers in advance and then working backwards to find evidence, rather than deducing the correct answers. ——Holmes will not even care about the evidence when necessary.

Although Holmes was not found, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not discouraged. Instead, after disguising herself, she led the team through the thick fog while avoiding monsters, looking for traces of Holmes's presence in each story, and then found her target. ——The puzzle left behind by Sherlock Holmes.

Obviously, Holmes is also avoiding the demons who operate the singularity, but he leaves the puzzle as a clue for those who will seek his help in the future.

Fujimaru Ritsuka solved the mystery and found Sherlock Holmes in the maze of the London Underground.

Holmes was surprised that someone could actually decipher his clues. Originally, he had been prepared to act secretly throughout the whole process.

However, although Holmes is good at fighting alone, he has never been a lone wolf deliberately. He originally had the Baker Street Team responsible for helping to collect intelligence.

From Holmes, Fujimaru Ritsuka got the reports he had collected so far, and learned what was happening in London behind everything shrouded in fog.

At the beginning of the mutation, the Holy Grail suddenly descended on this land and was absorbed by Londinion, a city built on the back of a dragon.

But if this is the case, it will not continue to deteriorate. After all, this is Londinion, the headquarters of the Magicians Association, where a large number of magicians gather.

However, unfortunately, it was as if the Demon God deliberately chose this subtle time point - in terms of results, because all the monarchs and high-end combat power happened to be away, the entire Magician Association was wiped out at the very first moment. .

The magician who annihilated the Magician's Association is called "Maqiri Zolgen". He is a magician with the blood of the devil who has lived from the Renaissance to the present day. He is three hundred years old, and his followers, Paracelsus Hohenheim was his friend during his lifetime.

Hohenheim left it alone.

Maqili was originally an upright and noble man, but now his body has been usurped by the demon in his blood. The demon's name is Barbatos.

The magic that Maqili is good at is séance. Although he did not hold the Holy Grail directly in his hand, after destroying the Magician Association and occupying the largest spiritual vein in Londinion, he started his own séance. Performance.

Specifically, it was summoning. He summoned a large number of spirits in one breath, including multiple heroic spirits. After Babbage was summoned, among the massive monsters wandering in the fog of Londinion, except for the mass production of Hohenheim In addition to the various Chimera modified beasts that came out, there are also many steampunk magic robots.

That is - the human sea tactic.

Machiri did not directly completely destroy the society of Londinion, but only summoned a large number of creatures to serve as informants. Once the Chaldean signal was observed, the Chaldean people subconsciously visited the local residents to collect clues and intelligence. Sometimes, they will be directly beaten and strangled by a group of people.

As the pinnacle of Machiri's spiritual art, the ace among aces is the 'King of the Wild Hunt' - possessing the attributes of 'King Arthur', 'Gwen', 'Odin', 'Nuada' and many others. A deity who combines the natures of a hero and a god-king.

That thing is not a heroic spirit, but an artificial god created by pure spiritual magic.

Without considering factors such as ‘controllability’, just looking at the data on the board has already reached the level of the King of Singularity Points.

Because there is no limit of alaya consciousness, the possibility of magic can begin to take shape.

A large number of biological and mechanical legions, the ghost god who takes up all the local bonuses, and the undead knight who was originally a knight of the Round Table was summoned together. These are the opponents that Fujimaru Ritsuka has to face.

The enemy is outnumbered, and even though Fujimaru Ritsuka has acquired the Violent Flame, her body is still that of flesh and blood. In a real fight, she will die if she is even touched.

So, should we just do nothing and wait for the arrival of the Chaldeans?

Holmes originally had a similar plan. He was not in a hurry to conquer the singularity on his own, but planned to lurk and collect information before the main force of Chaldea arrived to prepare for their response.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka did not choose to do nothing when he could obviously do something.

"The current God of Souls, Maqili, is still unable to fully control him, but we can't guarantee that when Chaldea's main force arrives belatedly, Maqili still won't be able to control the God of Souls, right? ?”

This reason is enough.

Fujimaru Ritsuka took action.

☆

In fact, even though a large number of spirits were summoned through séances, Machiri did not completely occupy Londinion.

The reason is simply that Londinion is too big.

If we really want to investigate the actual area, it is even comparable to the entire earth - or even larger than the entire planet.

Because of the Dragon of Albion beneath it.

In the past, when the Dragon of Albion was easily excavated, the underground of London was filled with dense mine tunnels. The scraps of the remains of the Dragon of Albion in the shallower parts of these tunnels were excavated. After the excavation of dragons required collective excavations, they were still preserved.

When a huge underground excavation city was built, these tunnels were connected to the underground city, and coupled with the secret excavations of countless people who wanted to steal minerals, London's underground has long since become a place much larger than London itself. times the world.

In order to obtain stronger power to control the spirit god, Machili's main force will naturally continue to explore underground.

The above factors create an opportunity for Fujimaru Ritsuka's team to act in the cracks.

In fact, in this Londinion, in addition to Fujimaru Ritsuka's team and the survivors, there are also neutral forces that do not belong to any party.

Among them was a wild servant - the rebellious knight Mordred, who was discovered when Fujimaru Ritsuka's team was hiding in XZ, and then joined the team.

There is also a monster that ignores any alignment and hides in the fog behind the thick fog of Londinion, attacking all women indiscriminately.

'Jack the Ripper'

To be precise, it is an aggregation of the resentful spirits of children who died before they were born, similar to Melusin.

She was originally just a weak spirit, but gained terrifying power because of Londinion.

avoid these dangers.

Fujimaru Ritsuka decided to accumulate strength and gather all those who had strength and were still planning to resist and take revenge on the devil.

Because Holmes told him that in Londinion, although the Magicians Association itself was destroyed, there were still many surviving magicians. Some of them were magicians who happened to not be in the headquarters that day, and most of them were magicians with emerging talents. Young people with nationalistic ideas were forced to move out of the association's headquarters because they were persecuted by the association.

A large part of them are even helped by the truly upright and kind-hearted Ma Qili, young people who regard Ma Qili as a master or a relative.

A plan gradually took shape in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.

But it's not enough. She also needs more occult knowledge to prove her idea. After all, she is not a real magician, and Shakespeare and Sherlock Holmes are not real magicians, they are just people with occult knowledge.

While recruiting or rescuing the resistance forces, she worked with Holmes to find a way to secretly sneak into the occupied Magician's Association. She discussed her own ideas with the young people while absorbing their crazy learning like a sponge. knowledge of occult science.

Although I once thought about contacting the Holy Church, they have been besieged by a large number of enemies, so they can only choose to put it aside for the time being.

Finally, the turning point came.

Relying on the wisdom of Holmes and Fujimaru Ritsuka, coupled with the assistance of Holmes' origin ability [Elucidator] and numerous young magicians, the resistance organization conquered the magician's association's barrier and quietly Sneaked into the interior of the Magicians Association, which was also as huge as a maze.

Their goal is not internal explosion, but the vast amount of knowledge stored in the Magician Association's big library. They need to obtain enough knowledge to prove whether Fujimaru Titsuka's plan is feasible.

It was during this process that the real turning point occurred.

Holmes discovered a secret door hidden in the deepest part of the large library. Fujimaru Ritsuka opened the door and found a girl inside.

A witch who looks young, but in terms of clothing, she perfectly fits most people’s impression of a ‘witch’.

She was holding a book, and there were a lot of snack and bread residues scattered on the table. More food was protected by antiseptic magic. She was hiding here like a hamster. She didn't care about the flood outside. She only focused on here. A black-haired witch reading a book.

A weak and helpless witch who is very good at eating but doesn't care about the outside world - well, because she is very bad and has basically no fighting ability, she is still a witch. Naturally, she was caught in the face of Sherlock Holmes.

Although he is very dishonest, he is very knowledgeable.

After some coercion and inducement, as well as cooking and seducing her with food, Fujimaru Ritsuka successfully pulled her into his team.

The girl calls herself the ‘Witch of Books’.

The name is - Darian.

Hiding here with her is a wild heroic spirit called Nursery Rhyme who looks like a fairy tale picture book.

Although she has no fighting power and even has a mentality similar to that of a young child, the book witch Darian has spent a long time in this dark place, read countless magic books, and stored a huge amount of knowledge in her mind.

And this knowledge made the strategy plan that was originally just a guess in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind become possible.

——[Hunting God]

To be more precise, it is to create the ‘Hunting God Technique’.

Whether it is magic to create gods, magic to summon gods, or magic to kill gods, it is difficult to create it under normal time and space because of the constraints of Alaya Consciousness seeking social security and stability.

But now is the incineration of human nature, a large number of human species in the past, present and future have died, and the power of Alaya Consciousness has been weakened.

It was for this reason that the Demon God created the God of Seance. This doesn’t mean that Fujimaru Ritsuka can’t do it, right?

This is the first step in Fujimaru Ritsuka's plan.

Captured by delicious food and unable to defeat her, Dalian had to bow her head. Under the close supervision of Fujimaru Ritsuka, she provided the knowledge Fujimaru Ritsuka needed.

"If you want to design a targeted 'hunting god technique' with a composite spirit like the 'King of the Wild Hunt' as your enemy, you should look for the materials from the myths and legends of the British Isles and Norse mythology."

The knowledgeable Dalian gnawed on the fried bread, thought for a moment, and gave the answer that Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted:

"Finn, Scathach, Mistletoe, and Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hela as 'Loki's Flame'. Physically speaking, Loki's Flame is the best, but even if it's a spell It can be designed by itself, and there is no one among you who can use such a method that goes against the laws of nature. If you use it forcefully, you may not be able to hit. Even if you hit, it will only have a restraining effect, and may not be fatal in one hit. So I don’t think it’s useful.”

Darian analyzed it rationally.

"Besides, where are you going to find the materials needed to perform these spells when all the resources in London are basically occupied by Barbatos?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka answered Dalian’s question with practical actions.

Where can I find the materials?

The answer lies beneath Londinium.

Underground in Londinion is not only the dungeon transformed into the Dragon of Albion, but also the burial place for the magicians who have been attracted by the secret treasure for thousands of years.

Of course magicians also have cemeteries, which are also their workshops.

Many magicians even buried all their inheritance in their own graveyards after their death, and tried their best to create traps. If someone can discover and crack all this, it means that he has the ability to inherit himself. If you are qualified for research, you can take the contents and continue your own research.

Magicians are such existences. What they truly inherit is not bloodline or glory, but knowledge and research.

In this way, in the cracks and in the shadows, Fujimaru Ritsuka launched a series of magical tomb robbing operations, solving countless mysterious mysteries (which were actually tricked by Sherlock Holmes).

She herself did not intend to become a real magician, so she distributed all the materials she collected. These young magicians who were exiled because they hated the old dogma were naturally impressed by Fujimaru Ritsuka's wisdom, courage, and strength. .

What would a normal magician do when faced with a crisis of annihilation?

The answer is to do nothing, just like the book witch Darian, find a place to hide and continue reading or studying. This is what a normal magician would think.

But the companions Fujimaru Ritsuka gathered were different.

They were young people living in Britain's most glorious dark ages.

A magician who has awakened his national consciousness and is full of blood and is against the decadent tradition.

A true traditional magician would not think about such things as 'revenge'.

But they are different, they are full of blood, they have the consciousness of nation and country, they sing about love, pursue friendship, explore the past and look forward to the future.

It was because they were different that they were expelled and expelled from the Magicians Association, but a new era would come sooner or later, and Waver Velvet was that kind of person.

Because of this, countless of their relatives and friends lost their lives in the demon god's raid.

Revenge and hatred roared in their hearts.

Or perhaps, they want to save Ma Qili, the teacher who was once Youen and theirs, who was manipulated by the devil.

They are hungry for strength, hungry for revenge, and eager to use these hands to achieve it all.

——Fujimaru Ritsuka gave them a chance.

All the financial reports and materials obtained were converted into the production of equipment used to realize the "Hunting God Technique".

Shakespeare gave them spiritual powers, transforming them all into beings with the physique of heroic warriors.

Finally, the rebels and avengers named as the 'Knights of Londinion' gathered in front of the girl and swore allegiance to her in the name of knights.

This is also part of the ritual.

By taking the oath, they will risk their lives and burn their souls, and they will continue to fight even if their will is forever eroded by the desire for revenge like poison.

In this way, they were able to center around Ritsuka Fujimaru, the leader of the 'Knights of Londinion', and share the secret treasure of Monte Cristo that was filled with violence - the 'Black Flame' that was born towards death!

As a specialized version of the 'Hunting God', the original nature of these black flames has been weakened and replaced by the power of Loki's flames, the vengeful wrath injected into them!

In this way, you have to show your fangs and hunt the gods!
