Lost Narrative Poetry

Opening the door and walking outside, what appeared in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka was a long circular corridor. The walls were smooth and seemed to be made of bright stainless steel, and the floor seemed to be waxed. It was exaggerated to say that it could be used as a mirror. use.

In the center of the ceiling above, there were lights embedded inside, emitting a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire corridor... For a moment, the girl thought she was back in Chaldea. .

Is this workshop too advanced?

At least in the first seventeen years of Fujimaru Ritsuka's life, among all the things he had seen, Chaldea's advanced base in the isolated Antarctic had always looked like this. Scenery.

Frankly speaking, this place is completely different from the "Magic Workshop" in Fujimaru Ritsuka's impression. It does not look ancient and mysterious at all, but rather too advanced, like some modern high-end laboratories or research centers.

After calming down for a while, she lowered her head and glanced at the light strip on the ground again, then turned and walked in one direction.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked as she walked: "Speaking of which, what kind of person is your Lord Xia Ran?"

Although she always felt that it was a bit strange to inquire about information with a spirit computer, she currently only had one target that she could inquire about. After all, the entire corridor was empty, and she didn't see any other people.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."

Tonatiu replied coldly.

Although it has a high degree of intelligence, it is not a real life after all. Logic is greater than sensibility, so it is still completely uninterpretable for this type of problem... After all, how can a machine evaluate a person's personality? What kind of person?

"Uh, okay..." Fujimaru Ritsuka probably discovered this problem, frowned slightly, and quickly thought about changing the topic, "You said before that this is the Tower of Glory. ?Why is this place called the Tower of Glory?”

"I can't answer this question either. Your authority is not enough to inquire." Tonatiu's answer was emotionless.

Of course, the girl was frustrated once again on this issue.

But she didn't think too much, because even Scathach didn't know the truth about the Tower of Glory. The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows had always been watching the outside world in the Kingdom of Shadows, carefully exploring changes and tracing the source.

But because she never came out, although her keen intuition prevented her from being exposed, the things she could see and discover were limited, let alone the truth that was specially hidden by Xia Ran.

Scathach only knew that the magician had used his own fantasy to distort the rules on the surface of the entire planet. He believed that the biggest difficulty was to break the spell itself, but he did not know that the magician had also taken out a second layer of insurance.

As for the first generation Hassan, the old man in the mountain, even though he broke into the tower in person and saw with his own eyes the truth about the liberation of the holy spear that pinned the era, he returned injured after all, and the delay caused the injury to seriously worsen. He couldn't even explain it. No time to explain.

The swordsman had no idea that the magic chain that he had cut off would not fall apart in the end, but would actually come back to life——

It was as if the runes themselves had spirituality and will, turning into a fierce and huge poisonous snake, wrapping tightly around his body, gnawing at his flesh and blood, trying to strangle his body or inject corrosive venom into his body.

It’s like gangrene attached to the bones, and it even truly threatens the very foundation of the Crown Assassin’s existence——

I don’t know if the magician deliberately set the time bomb to set the time bomb. Anyway, Assassin had just barely returned to the Kingdom of Shadows. After entering the safe area, his health volume had dropped to the verge of death.

The remaining half of the restraint technique had already penetrated his flesh, bone marrow, etc., and was about to damage the most important spiritual core.

Therefore, the assassin can only race against time to retreat and heal, because if he delays for another second, his body will collapse and disappear into the world. Therefore, there will be no time to explain anything, or even time to talk to Chaldea and his party. meet.

And even if this is the case, I don't know if he can survive it. Scathach just feels that the probability is about 50-50... and he can't have too many expectations.

Basically, after a brief confrontation with the magician, a champion Assassin was basically knocked down by a face-to-face.

Although it is precisely because of this danger that those who are close to death can barely escape, and it is not so easy to escape the life and death crisis afterwards, and there is still a risk of death.

——So both the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows and the Crowned Assassin felt that this was reasonable and did not express doubts about the result. Instead, they were somewhat grateful.

The opponent is undoubtedly a beast-level existence. Regardless of whether it is a beast in nature, it is a major disaster that hinders the continuation of the human world. At least seven crowned servants need to appear to fight against it together.

If a single Crowned Servant can easily escape unscathed when facing an opponent directly, then it is worth doubting whether the opponent is just showing off, or there is simply some other problem.

However, because of this, Chaldea and others still did not get any useful information in the end. Regarding the information about the Tower of Glory, Scathach originally wanted to talk about it when they were on the airship, but it was later revealed by what happened on the airship. Heartbroken.

And she also felt that there was no need to rush. After all, that tower was the magician's workshop. Regardless of whether it was necessary to face it or not, it was something that had to be considered at the last moment... especially when the airship set out about the Lion King and After learning about the Holy Spear in her hand, she felt that the latter was the real focus.

Fujimaru Ritsuka naturally doesn't know what the Tower of Glory is and its importance. He also doesn't know that he is currently in the true center of the entire singularity. The magician who saved him is the one who created the entire singularity. The culprit is.

"Then let's change the question, where is this place... I mean, the geographical location of the tower itself, etc.?"

The girl was not self-conscious at all at this moment. Instead, she was very relaxed. She walked lightly in the corridor with a smile on her face, while continuing to ask questions to the magic artificial intelligence, trying to get more information.

"This is on the British Isles, the capital of Camelot, and the border of the Chalk City..." Tonatiu finally answered the question, which made Fujimaru Ritsuka relax a little. She was afraid that she would continue to hit the wall every time she asked. That would be too embarrassing.

But he was actually near the capital of Camelot?

This answer was something she had not expected, but due to her preconceived notions, she immediately found a reasonable explanation——

It must be because the owner of this workshop was also trying to solve the problem of this singularity, but could not find an opportunity, so he did not act rashly. Instead, he set up a position next to the capital of Camelot to facilitate constant monitoring and waiting. Opportunity comes, right?

Well, yes, that must be the case!

Just like this, in the atmosphere of asking and answering, and occasionally not answering, she became more and more natural, and collected more and more information. It was just because this information could be known to her, so she did not touch it. Core key.

On the contrary, Fujimaru Ritsuka, under the preconceptions, became more and more unswervingly convinced that this time, just like on other journeys, she had encountered key "reinforcements" and "saviors".

Just like Mr. Siegfried who appeared when he faced the evil dragon, the master of this place must be a reliable, stable, powerful, and trustworthy servant! That must be the case!

Through a device similar to an elevator, but probably operated by magic, the girl reached the top of the tower. The reason why she knew it was the top floor of the tower was because she discovered that there was only a short section of the circular corridor.

And there is only one lone door, unlike the previous layout, which had many different areas and rooms... It feels like being on the rooftop of a school, so naturally it can only be the top floor.

"There is no work at hand at the moment. Mr. Xia Ran who can receive you is inside. You can just go in." At the same time, Tonatiu reminded, the guidance light strip that appeared on the ground also disappeared.

Wait, what kind of weird statement is this?

Does Mr. Xia Ran still exist in plural forms at the same time? Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little strange. She hesitated for a moment, but still did not open the door directly and went in. She still stood politely in the circular corridor.

"Please come in." A gentle and calm voice came from inside.

"Excuse me..." The girl just opened her mouth and knocked on the door. Then she realized that she didn't need to do this at all. This kind of situation where the other party had already responded before she asked the question made her a little awkward.

Taking another deep breath, she stabilized her mood and gently opened the only door on this floor.

The interior space suddenly opened up, and a spacious hemispherical hall appeared in front of her, like a space capsule on the top of some modern tower. It was surrounded by transparent glass walls, overlooking the plains and cities outside.

And the scenery further away, such as the layered sea of ​​clouds.

It was only now that Fujimaru Ritsuka could really see the outside from the inside of the tower, and he was suddenly shocked - was this tower so high? They have all reached the sky!

But is this too high-profile? If you build such a high tower near Camelot, will it really not be besieged?

"Welcome from afar, Master of Chaldea..."

The calm voice from before sounded, forcing the girl to turn her attention back, and then she saw another person in the spacious hall. It was a young man wearing a simple black robe, who looked like a mysterious wizard.

Apart from this, there is no one else here. It seems that apart from Tonatiu, there is only one person in the whole tower.

She is not a girl, and there are no other girls...could it be said that her clothes are actually...

In an instant, such a strange thought appeared like lightning, violently splitting apart all other thoughts in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind, forcefully occupying all her threads, and making her freeze on the spot.

A girl's heart is really a strange thing.

Although the cause of human rehabilitation is a great cause that strives for all mankind and strives to regain the future of mankind, logically speaking, under this general premise, other details can be ignored.

But... but...

When he thought about the fact that he was likely to be seen by this magician who seemed to be the same age as him while he was unconscious, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly felt that it was better not to be rescued by the other party.

Maybe it would be better to just die, so that you don't have to face such a humiliating and embarrassing situation...

See, so a girl's heart is really a very strange and subtle thing...

Obviously, as long as she, the last master of mankind, is alive, humanity will have a future. Otherwise, the only servants left can do nothing, and there is no possibility for them to fight unless they are summoned.

But because of such a trivial thing, Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously felt that she would rather not be rescued, because her reserve as a girl defeated the great sentiment of dedicating herself to regaining the future of mankind.

"?"

Xia Ran tilted her head slightly in confusion, wondering why this girl had such a strange reaction.

Do you look scary?

But he didn't pay much attention. He coughed slightly and said, "Speaking of which, your body..."

"I, I, I, I... my body! What, what's wrong with my body..." For a moment, it was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Fujimaru Ritsuka was extremely excited and stammered. What he said.

Moreover, her cheeks were flushed, and the top of her head looked like steam was coming out of an old-fashioned steam locomotive. She almost looked like she was about to cry in a hurry.

This, this person is going too far!

Too, too, too, too, too unclean! You’ve just watched it, and now you’re actually planning to make some comments about it?

"..."

"..."

"It shouldn't be a problem, right? I just wanted to ask how your body feels now, how your recovery is going, and whether there is anything uncomfortable..." Xia Ran twitched the corner of her mouth.

Isn’t this the best way to quickly open up the topic and ease the atmosphere?

What is this girl doing? Why did you react so violently? Did you say something that you shouldn't have said?
