Lost Narrative Poetry

Even though that's what it says...

However, the advancement was not necessarily smooth, because after the alarm was triggered, the defense and counterattack mechanism of the entire tower was activated - the relevant passage areas were blocked, and a steady stream of "guards" took notice of the wind and were trying to control the situation. Came here under Tiu's dispatch.

First of all, there are the so-called solemn knights. They are not real knights. Strictly speaking, they are not living creatures, but just a kind of familiars.

However, as mass-produced weapons that utilize the magic power of the Holy Spear Lungominiad and imitate the performance of the Knights of the Round Table, their various values ​​are completely comparable to the advanced alchemy golems. To use the metaphor of the servants' ability parameters, they all have "strength", "agility", "durability", etc. that are close to C-level.

And such a simple and plain combination of powerful strength, fast reaction speed, and thick defense is already quite a headache.

Although they still pose no threat to the Servant level, when their number seems to be endless, pouring in like a tide from the front and rear passages, it is difficult for anyone to think that this can be dealt with easily. small problem.

Mordred, who was impatient and impatient, also thought about using her Noble Phantasm to directly open the way and clear all obstacles ahead.

But the problem is that this is a tower-shaped building, and even the corridors are in a circular structure, not a straight passage going straight forward. Her light cannon cannot turn.

The result of the surge of magic power released by the Noble Phantasm was to eliminate only a small group of solemn knights in front, and at the same time melted a huge hole in the alloy-like wall, causing high-temperature red molten steel to flow everywhere... The effect was not great. , but the consumption is too high, which is not wise at all.

So all the followers could only engage in hand-to-hand combat. With the offensive magic support of the two Casters in the rear, Leonardo da Vinci and Miss Medea, they kept chopping melons and vegetables along the way, fighting steadily, step by step towards the goal. Push forward, work hard to clear monsters and climb the tower.

Although the Sovereign Knights used the human sea tactic to forcefully pile up, blocking their steps and greatly reducing their advancement speed.

However, their morale increased subtly, because even though they made such a big noise in this tower, the mysterious magician who was suspected of being Merlin did not show up, ignored him, and showed no reaction... It looked really good. It seems that he is not in this workshop at all.

I don't know if I didn't notice what happened in this tower of glory, or if I noticed it but couldn't intervene, I was really held back by something and couldn't get away...

All in all, this is indeed the best news. As long as the magician doesn't come in person, then they naturally have nothing to fear! Nothing in this tower can stop them!

Especially soon, Da Vinci received a message from the doctor and regained contact with Chaldea, which greatly encouraged everyone. Although the interference was still strong and intermittent, everyone at least got in touch with Fujimaru Ritsuka through the doctor's relay.

——It was confirmed that she was indeed imprisoned in this tower. All she had to do next was to fight her way up.

"It's very close, everyone, please work harder!" Da Vinci communicated with Doctor Roman, asking him to take the opportunity to contact Matthew, who was also separated, and cheer everyone up.

"Hmph! There's nothing special about this tower. If there were only these ghosts, I could demolish it alone..." He waved the magic sword and bullied him forward, knocking down an upright knight again. Mordred said: He curled his lips, showing an expression of disgust.

Then she turned back and looked at Bedivere, whose face was pale and covered with cold sweat, as if he was enduring some pain: "Hey, Bedivere, are you okay? Can you still hold on?"

"No, no problem..." Holding his silver arm tightly, Bedivere spoke with some difficulty. He breathed slightly for a while, then nodded to Mordred, "Thank you. Now, Mordred..."

Although his will is as firm as steel, the huge load on his body is also real. He has been running and fighting at a high intensity these days, and he has not had a good rest at all. It is true that both his body and mind have reached the limit. limit.

Just now, he almost missed and was injured by the solemn knight. Fortunately, Mordred had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported him in time. He rushed up and killed the enemy with a heavy sword.

"There's nothing to thank you for. After all, these are the only things I don't care about..." The rebellious girl knight turned away and pretended to be disdainful, "It's not challenging at all, and there's no threat at all. …”

——Bang!

A dull sound came from the end of the passage ahead, followed by an unusually strong magic reaction, interrupting Mordred's words and causing the expressions of others to change slightly.

what? !

"..."

"..."

As if they had received some order, the densely packed knights in front suddenly stopped all their actions, stepped aside from the middle, and stood on both sides of the spacious passage. A huge black shadow that almost reached the ceiling of the corridor appeared, approaching step by step.

Accompanied by the dull sound of footsteps and the harsh friction of heavy objects being dragged on the ground, the black shadow quickly approached everyone, bringing them great pressure.

It was indeed a black shadow, but it was not a flat silhouette, but a three-dimensional outline, completely surrounded by black mist emitting magic power. The specific face was completely unclear, but it could still be barely recognized that it was a three-meter-tall man. , like a ferocious giant made of steel.

The black shadow has muscles like steel. The strong muscles and ferocious lines make people subconsciously think that this is an invulnerable body. It must contain explosive power, and it also drags a handle in its hand. Huge axe.

"This, this is..."

Mordred's eyes suddenly wavered, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. It seemed that something more threatening than the Solemn Knight was coming!

But is this shadow follower going too far? The magic reaction is so solid and powerful, but it is still just a shadow of the spirit base?

"Roar--!!"

The next moment, the Greek hero and demigod berserker, who was just a shadow, let out a roar that shook the sky, causing obvious ripples in the air in front of him. Then he took steps that caused the entire passage to vibrate. It launched a charge like a wild beast!

The passage is very wide, but there is only one road. In such terrain, this terrifying Berserker is like a tank, crushing everything!

"Be careful!" At this moment, even Scathach couldn't help but change his color in horror!

…

…

While a group of people were attacking his magic workshop, Xia Ran, who had never left the Tower of Glory, was still on the top floor at this moment, not paying attention to the signs of chaos happening on the lower floors. It was the greatest kindness that he did not take action personally. .

But they will not help Chaldea eliminate all difficulties and obstacles and pave the way forward for them, so whether they can break through the obstacles and reach the top all the way to the final battle depends on their own abilities. Is it enough... After all, Goetia will not let go.

"Come on, aren't you enough? Really, you are too kind to them. Not to mention anything else, there are already countless records of the SE.RA.PH Holy Grail War. You have it. The servant information can definitely summon the entire Heroic Soul Seat..."

The girl with knee-length purple hair and a red ribbon tied on the left side of her head, who appeared on the projection of the spirit calculation device, put her hands on her hips and said very dissatisfied.

"Even if it's just the Shadow of the Soul Base, just use the numbers to pile it up. If you leave it to me, I'm guaranteed to be able to start a group with 20,000 Artoria in minutes, whether it's the same class or different classes. Yes, just crush it over..."

"Are you planning a "Diffusive Millions of King Arthur" plan? It’s not like Miss Misaka. Don’t make such a scary statement like mass-producing 20,000 units. "

Xia Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He knew that this little devil junior would do this, so he didn't dare to let him take responsibility for this matter.

Although compared to this illegal superior AI, Tonatiu is far inferior in terms of performance and intelligence. It can even be said that it has no self-awareness and no consciousness at all, but at least it is better than being obedient. , well behaved.

In addition, with Charlotte watching all the time, she will naturally know the priorities and will not act erratically. Xia Ran will naturally feel more at ease.

But what about BB? She is like a cancer that invades the computer world. She dominates the inner side of the moon and becomes a computer demon that hinders the SE.RA.PH Holy Grail War. She is the kind of computer demon who requires others to abide by the rules, but she always destroys without restraint. Out-of-control AI with rules.

Her action settings and character settings are obviously distorted, and she also has a potential sadistic hobby. In addition, she is the type who explodes after enduring it. When she explodes, she will naturally show an amazing trembling posture.

It's not that Xia Ran doesn't believe in BB's abilities, it's just that she is more aware of how naughty her character is. Even if she has made detailed plans and guidance plans in advance, she is very likely to be in high spirits and get too high, and wait until she returns to the backstage to calm down. , only then will you realize that you have messed up, and then you will be frustrated and frustrated.

"Oh! Twenty thousand is just an exaggeration! It's an exaggeration, do you understand?" The image of the girl in the projection waved her white hands nonchalantly, "You can lower the standard, for example. It just so happens that all seven levels of King Arthur can be put into one team..."

"This is also very scary. Even if it is a Shadow Servant, its numerical values ​​are the same as those of a real Servant. Both attributes and Noble Phantasms are absolutely standard. In addition to having no consciousness and only the instinct to fight..." Regarding Xingzhi BB, who acted the role of a villain with great enthusiasm, the magician sighed, "Seven levels of Artoria are enough to fight a Holy Grail War. They are all crushed anyway. Does it make any difference if the number is different? "

The 20,000 knight kings crushed Chaldea's group, and the seven knight kings also crushed Chaldea's group. The result would not be any different...

Even though BB seemed to be very arrogant, he cut the number from 20,000 to seven as soon as he opened his mouth. He seemed to be very easy to talk to, but in fact he still had the idea of ​​​​wiping Chaldea to death.

"Isn't it boring to fight in a regular manner? I want to see more of everyone's painful expressions!" The junior of the little devil type did not have the slightest sense of self-reflection. Instead, he put on a triumphant expression and looked at the projection. The magician outside made a heart-warming gesture.

She looks very cute, but her evil and awe-inspiring behavior cannot be concealed at all. It feels like she is exuding a darkened aura visible to the naked eye behind her back.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it..." Xia Ran wisely avoided this troublesome question and asked directly, "By the way, why are you here?"

This is the weirdest thing, right?

Inexplicably, another page opened on the projection screen of her own spirit child calculation device, and she appeared uninvited, shouting that she would hand over the management of the spirit child network to her.

Xia Ran thinks that he can have the patience to communicate with her well, and he has already acted very calmly by not asking about this matter until now. If it were anyone else who came here, he might not be scared enough - who knows? How long has she been here, and how long has she been peeking into the real world on the Internet?

That is to say, he has always had a noble moral character, and is not afraid of shadows. Although he felt that although he had not paid much attention before, he did not do anything shady when he was alone. Therefore, after thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing. Influence.

"Humph, this is not difficult at all. After all, the network you built is riddled with holes. It doesn't even have the most basic firewall and anti-virus program..." BB shook his head and said proudly, " BB-chan, I thought I would encounter some trouble when I came here, but I didn’t expect that there would be no obstacles at all..."

"Is that so? I'm really sorry..." Xia Ran nodded thoughtfully, "But that's not what I asked."

The technical power possessed by this bug from Mooncell is extraordinary. In her original destiny, she could easily act as a spirit hacker and invade Chaldea in 2017 AD from the singularity of 2030 AD. The system, in the name of asking for help, forcefully took Fujimaru Ritsuka to the future.

If she could achieve this level, it would be easy for her to access this fifth-century A.D. singularity, where the invasion had just begun and the spirit network had quite a lot of loopholes. If she couldn't do this, Xia Ran felt strange instead.

"Humph, what's strange about this, because BB-chan, I have a great dream..." The purple-haired girl said with wandering eyes: "It's mainly for love and peace, so I plan to endure the humiliation, endure the pain and swallow the tears, and continue the torture. Those humans..."

"Do you have a sociopath? Isn't it fun to hurt others?"

Xia Ran sighed helplessly.

"Hmm? Are you qualified to speak against me?" Instantly switching to contempt mode, BB stared at him condescendingly.

"...Okay, it seems to be really interesting." Xia Ran took a look at himself, thought of his group of crazy fans, twitched the corner of his mouth, and then reached out to turn off the window projection that BB opened without permission. , "But I'm sorry for such an unstable factor like you..."

"Hey, hey! Wait! Wait! It's true..." The purple-haired girl in the projection suddenly panicked and waved her hands, "Okay, okay, I said that, I don't want to go back, go back and be a What's so good about a machine bound by rules? I don't want to go back..."

"Huh?" The magician raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then you can actually go to Chaldea. What are you doing here?"

"What's so fun about Chaldea? I don't know anyone there..." BB puffed up his face.

"..."

"..."

Well, is it because she changed the plot that she is no longer interested in Chaldea? Xia Ran thought about it carefully and felt that this was probably the case.

"Hey, we really can't discuss it? Do you have to drive me away? Don't force me to use special tricks!" BB said unhappily. Seeing his silence, he subconsciously suspected that this person was still not happy. He planned to take in a weak, pitiful and helpless homeless girl like her.

"Trick?" Xia Ran came back to her senses, suddenly a little funny, and looked at the girl in the projection with interest, "I really want to see it, you can use it!"

"..."

"..."

"You forced me to do this!" BB looked at him with a gloomy expression, "You still have a chance to redeem yourself before I use it."

"No, I just want to see what your special trick is. Come over here!" The magician didn't care, as if he was a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Do you really want to force me? Even if our relationship never returns to what it was before, is that okay?"

"This is not a question of forcing you or not, this is a question of trust... Wait, did you copy too many bad things from me?" Xia Ran looked at her slightly suspiciously.

"Well, that's actually the case. I thought your attitude towards me, senior, was a little strange before. It was indeed like this during several subsequent tests, so I was a little curious..." BB stared at him closely, his expression slow. Slowly it becomes very strange.

"As Mooncell's AI, I can find out a lot of things, whether it's the human incineration incident in this world, or the Fuyuki Holy Grail War that happened in other worlds, even the imaginary number events are recording the universe. It’s been well preserved, let alone what actually happened…”

"Huh?" The magician was slightly startled, suddenly having a premonition that something was not good.

But it’s too late——

"Brother~"

The purple-haired girl in the projection showed a shy, excited and joyful expression, and shouted timidly at him, but her eyes were shining with evil amusement.
