Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

40. Kill to the face

It's really strange to say.

Heroic Spirit Servants can not only appear in different professions, but can even appear in different ages.

In principle, no matter which period you are in, you will have all the memories of your lifetime, but when it comes to the same memory, the attitude between youth and adulthood will be very different.

Heroic Spirit Servants in their youth generally feel that their 'future memories' do not belong to them, and even if they read them, they just feel like they are watching a movie about someone very similar to themselves.

This is also very obvious in Martha.

Rider's Martha is mentally inclined towards adulthood, that is, the period after becoming a saint. She is relatively more stable. Due to her job restrictions, most of her spiritual base was taken away by the dragons of the summoned beasts. Because of this, its own strength has dropped significantly.

Ruler's Martha's mental state tends to be in her youth, that is, before she met the Son, she dared to threaten the Son with force.

Even if it is the same memory, even if it is the same person, looking at the mental state of different periods of time, there will be completely different results.

For the sake of convenience, let’s call Rider St. Martha and Ruler Martha.

Originally, it was quite strange that Saint Martha had been in a state of near-rage since her debut, more like the embodiment of rage than the Raging Witch.

As an apostle of the Lord, Holy Horse will naturally not lack resistance in this area.

Therefore, when she learned from Giorgios that the Holy King summoned one of the four archangels under the throne through magic, and that Uriel, the 'Wrath of God', was in her body, this doubt seemed to be temporarily answered.

But now it seems that it is still abnormal.

St. Martha by Giorgios or Michael? In short, after the Holy City armor on her body was destroyed even though she withstood so many bombardments from the Witch of Despair, her body was accidentally obliterated by the overwhelming terrifying destructive power of God's right hand. .

Maybe there is still life? But the real problem now is the words she left before her death.

——“You guy! You guy! Damn it! [Michael]——You clearly told me that you don’t need to sacrifice these children!!!”

This sentence contains too much information.

If you use your brain a little and guess,

The first thing that came to everyone's mind was naturally the 20-kilometer-long flaming cross that shattered the Witch of Despair.

Prelati said that that outrageous thing was not a Noble Phantasm of Liberation or a mythical weapon, but magic.

Performing magic naturally requires magic power, which means that miraculous power cannot come without a price, right?

sacrifice

children

Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three child-like Holy Spirit angels.

Su Xiaoqiang pressed half of his face with one hand. Although he was not a gamer like Lu Mingfei, similar stories were too common. For example, there were children who became the ones who used the [Right Hand of God·Right Side] Fire] The sacrifice of magic.

If this is really the case, then the problem of Emperor Karl can be completely confirmed.

When Su Xiaoqiang thought this, he immediately dismissed his guess.

Putting aside the mentally disturbed St. Martha, Giorgios gave such a good impression that it was hard to imagine that he would support such a thing.

The more Su Xiaoqiang thought about it, the more headache he got. After sighing, he stopped thinking: "The information we know is still too little. I always feel that we have never really touched on the main story until now. If this is a game, I will definitely have loaded the game and turned back. I'm looking for the missing plot CG. Alas, although there is a jealous witch and so on, there is no apple stand here." (Note: In the early plot of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World", the protagonist will load reincarnation at the apple stand)

As a result, after Su Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he suddenly found that Prelati and Alta were looking at him strangely. Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously looked at Lu Mingfei and found that for some reason he started to look up at the ceiling and act stupid.

Su Xiaoqiang frowned: "What's wrong? Do you know any hidden plot there? None of us have been to Paris until now, right?"

"Ah, no one has been there." Lu Mingfei felt a little guilty when he spoke for some reason.

Alta is not good at organizing language, so Prelati said this sentence:

"You really look a lot like Lu Mingfei."

Su Xiaoqiang's eyes widened immediately, because she was perhaps the only person here who respected Prelati (because she was the only one who was qualified in the occult culture here). This time she did not curse angrily, but asked unhappily: "What's wrong? ? How do I look like him?"

In fact, Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei can be said to be incompatible with each other in terms of personality, but this subtle sense of regret. Obviously they have completely different personalities, but after a little in-depth contact, everyone can't help but think, "They are really similar."

Should we say that the compatibility between Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang is unexpectedly high?

However, both Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang actually knew the difference between themselves and each other. For example - assuming - Emperor Karl was really confirmed to have sacrificed children to use magic.

With Su Xiaoqiang's character, if he had the strength, he would definitely find the other party without hesitation.

As for Lu Mingfei, if he didn't have the strength, he would be cowardly. If he had the strength, he would think, "It's none of my business. It feels terrible. I'd better let others handle it." But if Su Xiaoqiang goes first, Lu Mingfei Regardless of whether you have power or not, you will definitely—

Well, bring your friends together to support Su Xiaoqiang.

Active and passive, Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei are actually completely opposite in personality, but because of their mysterious tacit understanding, the two people with completely opposite personalities seem to complement each other - which is commonly known as a good compatibility.

But these are not the focus now. Prelati casually brought this ridiculing topic to the past, and then brought the topic back to the center:

"Remember what I said? Michael's concept of 'courage', more accurately speaking, is 'human courage'. It is the guardian of the good things of mankind who is not afraid of all power and evil."

"Michael does not have the concept of falling into heaven, because once he violates this, he cannot be established as Michael. When it comes to the beautiful things that belong to human beings - there is no doubt that they are 'children'."

"That is to say - Michael, it is absolutely impossible to cooperate with a being who harms children, let alone actively harm children."

Lu Mingfei asked: "But hasn't it actually happened?"

As Lu Mingfei spoke, with the help of Prelati's illusion projection, he saw the 3,333 children, angels and holy spirits surrounding St. George, and with their help, St. George waved the god The picture on his right hand was projected.

Prelati seemed to have anticipated this problem: "Michael will not hesitate because it is a conceptual high-latitude life, but Giorgios is different. As a human body, he is still a human being after all. Who knows what he will do?" What do you think?"

Prelati said, and speculated in a malicious direction without good intentions: "Maybe Giorgios really acquiesced, such as 'this is a necessary sacrifice' or something like that."

No one can say anything good for Giorgios. After all, as both Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang complained, they have never been to Paris and missed too much of the main plot before the Witch of Despair incident was triggered.

I don’t know who St. George and St. Martha are at all, and I haven’t had any contact with them. It’s impossible to rely solely on first impressions.

--but

"It's not the point who Giorgios is, right?"

Prelati hit the real key.

"No matter what kind of person Giorgos is, if children really died, if Emperor Karl really did such a thing, then - what would Michael do?"

Prelatti waved development again, and the virtual projection camera focused on the road from Marseille to Paris.

Prelati has already deployed familiars in many places within the singularity. Originally, the shielding of the Mobile Holy City was basically ineffective, but now the shielding of the Mobile Holy City has been affected by the Witch of Despair. Many of the familiars she had deployed long ago The magic camera works again.

Prelati pointed at the large, unobservable, shielded team that was marching along the road, heading towards Marseille.

In this case, a bunch of moving fog that cannot be observed has turned into something like a signal.

"My familiar contacted the magician I know near Paris not long ago. They confirmed that Emperor Karl the Great personally led the team to march toward Marseille."

Then, Prelati pulled the end of the virtual projection to an unstable crimson energy group in mid-air.

"And this being who is heading in the direction of Emperor Karl's team is Giorgios, whose body has begun to become Michael."

At this point in Prelati's words, no one was in a hurry to urge him to tell him the final bad news.

Because it depends on the situation, if Michael attacks the team of Emperor Karl, then it will be considered as a disguised attack on the Holy King's evil act of sacrificing children.

Prelati adjusted the position of the familiar who acted as a camera. Because the interference from Emperor Karl the Great's team was extremely serious, he could only see some blurry figures in the distance.

The team heading for Marseille to march to rescue was stopped.

A man dropped from the sky.

The vague halo above his head seemed to be due to instability, and behind him there were only illusory and unstable wings, releasing a man with a dazzling and gorgeous light.

Giorgios' originally long brown hair seemed to be dyed with sparkling light.

Although I couldn't see the specific situation clearly and couldn't confirm the content of their exchange, at least if they got into a fight, I could confirm it even from such a distance.

The content of Michael's actions will also directly affect the attitude of the human rehabilitation team towards Emperor Karl.

Although this name has appeared for a long time, although it seems that he has dealt with him many times, and although he has long been familiar with his exaggerated treasures, this is the first time he has 'seen' Emperor Karl himself.

The man who could no longer tell whether it was the Angel of Courage or Giorgios blocked the front of the team, and the leader of the team, a man covered in black and gold armor, was riding a horse that was equally huge and muscular, obviously It was a horse-shaped chimera that had been transformed by magic and came to the front of the team.

Lu Mingfei felt that it was a pity that he could not bring Charlemagne over to watch the live broadcast together at this time.

Charlemagne, who was playing the female paladin Bradamante outside, although no one reminded him, he cast his sight in the direction of Paris with a throbbing feeling, as if he felt something.

And Giorgios stopped in front of Emperor Karl.

☆The dividing line of the story☆

The human body restoration team watching the low-definition live broadcast from a distance did not know the specific situation.

But Emperor Karl was actually facing the pressure from Giorgios—or, in other words, the Seraph Michael who descended into Giorgios' body.

The long hair that shines with platinum light is flying in the wind together with the wings.

The strong wind carried the moist smell of sea water, and it was obvious that a storm was brewing.

Michael didn't seem to want to talk nonsense to the Holy King in front of him. He directly raised his right hand and let a crimson lance appear in his hand, pointing at the Holy King Karl:

"Do you have anything else to argue with?"

Saint King Karl did not even feel the slightest intention to kill, only the aura of magnanimity and natural execution of justice.

This can be regarded as a disguised confirmation of what Saint King Karl was doing secretly through the memories of Michael and Giorgios.

".What if Yu says they are not dead yet?"

"."

The angel remained expressionless, which even gave people the illusion that he heard nothing, as if the sonorous and powerful words of Saint King Karl were blown away by the precursors of the approaching hurricane.

No one knew the expression of Saint King Karl, because he still did not take off the armor that covered his whole body.

He added: "What if Yu says they are not dead yet?"

The next moment, a crimson flash of light grazed the Holy King's shoulder armor, blazing flames fell on the plain behind, and a small mushroom cloud suddenly rose.

However, there was still no damage at all on Saint King Karl's armor.

"Yu won't explain boring topics like 'necessary sacrifice' in vain. Yu only needs to prove one thing - something that you can definitely confirm, so you didn't kill Yu immediately."

As if it was confirmed that the incomplete winged angel in front of him could not penetrate his conceptual defense armor, the Holy King's tone began to become calm and calm:

"I have no intention to dwell on the right or wrong of the so-called methods. After all, this is a critical time in human history. Only naive children can sing the idealism of saving everyone. What I want to talk about with you is reality - someone must To do something, someone has to sacrifice if necessary.”

"Besides, Yu can tell you clearly that those children knew the risks in their hearts before taking action, but they still stood up. Yu only provided a way, a [courage] shining in their hearts that could save them." A chance for the world’s cause to burn brightly.”

"You know very well, and Yu also confirms that Yu Zhi's heart and behavior are as clear as a mirror, and everything he does is a just thing with a clear conscience - let's stop talking about the basic principles here, and return to the topic of reality. .”

Emperor Karl put his hand on the hilt of the holy sword at his waist and said in a deep voice:

"It's a pity that I still hope that you can agree with my righteousness. Since I failed, let me tell you in a despicable way - when I left Paris, those 3,333 children had not yet Completely dead, Yu had already arranged for rescue personnel, but if left alone, they would die sooner or later, and their noble souls would surely ascend to heaven. Because of their dedication, more than a million people were saved. but"

".This is a very stupid behavior that may lead to endless hidden dangers." Emperor Karl stared at Michael, and then deliberately said in a loud voice:

"Since someone must sacrifice, since none of us are willing to sacrifice those children, since you are the Guardian Knight, since everyone desires the best future - you can choose to sacrifice yourself in exchange for the survival of those children. Chance!"

"Yu promises you that as long as you are willing to give your own light, Yu will be shattered into pieces. If you burn this soul, you will also save them, and save these little heroes who have resolutely sacrificed their lives to fight against despair!"

——[Information currently available for disclosure]——

【Michael】

Even in the face of desperate difficulties, we still yearn for the light and the future full of hope.

This is the original beauty of the human species

Therefore, we need to take a crucial step, the [courage] to break through the status quo, the embodiment of that

He is the angel of courage.

【Saint George】

He is generally considered to be the strongest of the apostles and the prototype of the Seraph Michael.

It is said that because he is the child of a witch (or was raised by a witch), he has an unexpected affinity for the witch, and this has not changed even after he became a Christian saint.

No, it should be said that the identity of the saint was added later by outsiders, right?

The most famous apostle, as the son of a witch, loves life, so he is very interested in cameras that can record beautiful things at any time.

Tolerantly, he has protected countless people, and countless Catholic countries are eager to invite him as a ‘patron saint’.

It can be said to be the prototype of the concept of 'Guardian Knight'.
