Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

97. The legendary swordsman who defeated St. George (laughs)

——Knight Dion

The name was probably Dion de Beaumont (Lia de Beaumont).

A French legend of unknown gender who was active in the 18th and 19th centuries. He became famous after publishing a thesis as a Ph.D. in finance.

But he is famous as a swordsman and writer who is both civil and military.

In that silver 'romantic' France, Dion was said to have a severe and bizarre mysophobia. While his peers were surrounded by senior prostitutes and court courtesans, he devoted himself to the study of literature and swordsmanship.

He has served as minister plenipotentiary and captain of a dragoon company. It is said that King Louis XV of France initially planned to make him minister of finance. France was heavily in debt at that time, so Louis XV established a secret diplomatic agency (Secret du Roi) that was completely loyal to him personally. It was at that time that Duhem was roped in.

After that, he became a legendary figure in France as a spy, and was a living 'urban legend' at the time.

What everyone talks about is nothing more than his gender issue. It is said that he disguised himself as a woman named Lia de Beaumont and became best friends with the Russian Empress Elizabeth Petrovna (Romanov). The relationship is so close that one can freely enter and leave the Queen's room.

Of course, the real uproar caused by the statement that Dion (Lea) was a woman was actually caused by the various consequences of the "love and murder" between him (her) and the French King Lucifer XV, and therefore "she" In fact, she was originally a female, but because there were no boys in the family, she was raised as a boy in order to legally inherit the family property." This is a popular saying.

After she fell in love with Louis XV and was exiled to England by French court politics, she gave up on herself and lived a luxurious life in the British social circle. This was also one of the important reasons.

At that time, the question of whether Dion was ‘Dion (male)’ or ‘Leah (female)’ even rose from a personal issue to a political issue.

After Louis XVI came to power, under the calculation of the bored French King Louis XVI, Dion admitted that he was a woman and had to take off his dragoon uniform and live in women's clothing all his life.

It was also at this time that I became best friends with the young French princess, and she personally selected the dresses to wear every day. This princess often appeared in textbooks and said the phrase "Why don't you eat cake if you don't have bread?", and because of this Celebrities nicknamed 'Cake'.

Because he "officially recognized" his identity as a woman, Dion was even proposed to by the playwright Beaumarchais.

Although he was loved by the princess, as a patriot, Dion was still unwilling to give in. As we all know, King Louis XVI of France was the founding father of the United States. During the American Revolutionary War, when France resisted the British and aided the United States, Dion volunteered to serve on the front line in the United States, but he He was ridiculed and thrown back to his hometown and imprisoned for 19 days.

After that, with the fall of Louis XVI, she returned to London again. She was in poverty and had to earn commissions by participating in fencing competitions. However, due to political difficulties, she had to wear women's clothing, and because The gamble of the busybodies, in the most difficult time, she had to carry a long dress that was too big, heavy and difficult to move.

To challenge the young and strongest swordsman in London at that time, the so-called British Swordsman ‘Saint Georges’! In the end, under various unfavorable conditions, Dion dragged his long skirt with one hand and defeated the young St. George with a gorgeous rapier with seven consecutive thorns and a splash of stardust with the other hand!

The British people called him invincible, and Dion was awarded the title of 'Sword Master of Europe'.

Of course, what most people are most concerned about are the various bets surrounding Dion, especially the bet on his gender, which has become the 'Gamble of the Century' between Britain and France.

The final result was that after she died of hidden injuries, people dissected the body and the bet that she was male won.

This result is certainly not credible.

At least in this world of magic, and at the same time London is the base of the mysterious world of the West.

Impacted by Enlightenment ideas, the rise of patriotism also affected the magicians in that area, especially those young magicians who were sent to study at the Clock Tower in London by their big families. They had magic qualifications and knowledge, but no inheritance rights.

For these magicians, in order to get money for research, the most convenient and 'legal' way in London of that era, and which would not be pursued by the Legal Affairs Section of the Magic Association, was nothing more than various bets surrounding various duels. .

In London at that time, it was common to see young magicians dueling in various dueling venues.

As for the rules behind hiding mysteries?

In that era, there was no such thing as concealment. I installed a psychic device in a camera and then lied that it was made of special metal elements that could release dizzying and irritating light. Camera, does this count as concealment?

What? When I waved my staff, lightning flashed and the other side fell to the ground? Have you never seen a rifle disguised as a stick? Can't find the bullet? That's because the bullet melted due to high temperature friction! This is very scientific!

That's probably it.

Rules are dead, people are alive. Besides, the mysteries that will be weakened by being discovered are just the 'majority'. If you don't master the special magic that can ignore this rule, you will be embarrassed to say that you are a little bit. A family of magicians with a bit of history.

To put it bluntly, all magic that can appear are special cases that ignore this rule.

Even in modern times where rules and laws are relatively strict, there are still little magicians with no background who are hiding magic. Big magicians with background have already combined science with science and started to engage in mechanical ascension. Those without background but brave are They use magic to control people and mine to make money. At that time, the German government simply openly studied magic. Even in modern times, there are magician groups in the Middle East who openly use magic combined with drugs to brainwash and create young soldiers. This rule only bullies honest people.

This is the case in modern times. In that chaotic era, it was naturally impossible for people like Dion to bypass the mystery.

It’s hard to say whether the legendary seven consecutive stabs are magic or swordsmanship.

The same goes for Dion's gender issue. From the moment he publicly admitted that he was a woman in London, it became an eternal mystery. In the revolutionary era when young magicians were running around looking for opportunities, the coffin was opened and the autopsy was conducted. Maybe he is a madman who makes money just to win gambling and get rich. After all, most people bet on her being a woman at the time.

——Of course these are just background explanations.

What is certain is that there is indeed a serious mental problem - nonsense, the people of the two countries are so tossing the gender issue, there is no problem, but sooner or later it will be tormented.

But once you become a heroic spirit, this problem changes.

The process of sublimation is a very metaphysical issue. Even if you were just a psychopath who took too many pills and thought you were a werewolf before becoming a Heroic Spirit, after becoming a Heroic Spirit, in order to reflect your 'setting', you really Gained the ability to transform into a true werewolf.

The same goes for Dion.

Whether you are a man disguised as a woman or a transgender person, it is actually not a big problem, but after you become a heroic spirit, in order to reflect your 'setting', you will be forced to add relevant mental interference skills.

——[Autosuggestion A]

The highest level of autosuggestion skills, the mystery of 'self-interference' that is superior to magic.

I don’t want you to think, I want me to feel.

Theoretically, this is a super skill in which Dion's body will really become able to do those things as long as he thinks "I think I can do it" in the face of anything.

It is possible to transform into an angel or a god on the spot.

However, due to various problems during his lifetime, Dion could only use this skill to modify his physical gender.

Because of this, the heroic spirit Dion himself can't even tell his true gender.

As a side effect, Dion is therefore able to ignore any level of mental interference, and even the authority of the gods cannot control Dion's mind.

Originally it was just a side effect, but in this situation, this skill is crucial.

It has even become a prerequisite for being able to fight.

When the Holy King no longer hid it, but instead took out all his power and abused the 'Sound of Heaven Assimilation' to his heart's content, Dion, who had this skill and had good fighting ability, became the only main force.

As a legendary swordsman who once defeated St. George. No, he defeated St. George. Although he is a modern heroic spirit, he became famous as a spy rather than a warrior, but it is also because of various legends about swordsmanship competitions.

After Jean Dion became a Heroic Spirit, due to her popularity and the correction of Saber's job description, she, who was originally just a spy, acquired outstanding martial arts (finger strength A, durability, B agility, B) that could even compete with demigod heroes in physical fitness.

In fact, Dion's swordsmanship cannot be underestimated.

The swordsmanship known as the 'Supreme Number' is also called the Geometry Magic Sword. The user must have extremely high attainments in mathematics. During the battle, he can 'calculate' the most reasonable trajectory of the sword, and usually slash in an arc. Combat with thrusts.

Now, Dion stood up and stopped in front of the motorcade escorting Lucy.

Of course Dion knew this was a trap and a plan.

But Dion still believed that she had a chance of winning. Apart from the aspect of force, there was one thing she did well, that is, she hid the fact that she could ignore the Holy King's 'Sound of Heaven Assimilation'.

Pretending to be manipulated, he approached the convoy openly and took the opportunity to kidnap Lucy.

Maybe Lucy herself forgot because of this sudden change.

But as a professional legendary spy, dangerous external environments have long been a daily routine for Dion. Dion clearly remembers that Lucy is now wearing an Atlas Academy uniform. The skill "Issy" attached to this uniform Rain of Silk' can release mind control.

Chaldea naturally hid the secret of Atlas Academy's uniform from the Holy King.

After all, Prelati has been saying that the Holy King cannot be trusted.

Although it might not be useful for Joan of Arc who always wears armor and has the sound of heaven filling her ears.

Dion pretended to be under control, escorted Ophelia, and walked towards Joan of Arc, saying as he walked:

"The other Master who was with them, the Oriental named 'Su Xiaoqiang', was not caught. When he pounced on her, only this suit was left on the ground."

Dion walked towards the team, and at the same time raised the complete set of clothes in his hand to Joan of Arc, and said nonsense seriously:

"Maybe it's the 'golden cicada' that escapes its shell in the Eastern legend. It's called a 'ninja'."

If you can just get through it, then just take advantage of it.

If not, then rob the law field.

Even though the situation was chaotic due to the sudden rise of the Holy King, as a professional spy, Dion believed that ensuring the safety of the Chaldean Master was the top priority.

Can it go smoothly?

——Disagreement——

[1. Got through successfully? 】

[2. Can Dion see through the disguise of Joan of Arc? (Wearing a helmet -30, professional spy +50)]

[3. Joan of Arc draws her sword and kills people without any explanation]

【1D3=3】

——Draw the sword directly

Without even any intention of communicating with Dion, the blade of the Holy Sword Catherine had already struck Ophelia, and this trajectory even had the momentum to cut down both of them!

"!?"

A sudden vote-breaking move.

[Joan of Arc’s ‘raid’: 1D100=83]

[Dion’s ‘reaction’: 1D100+50 (professional spy’s reaction)=61+50=111]

But Dion still reacted.

After all, he is a professional.

Push Ophelia away.

She now has the witch Lamia living in her body. Although the sword of Saint Catherine is not sharp as a ceremonial sword, it is a fatal nemesis for her.

Then Dion threw out Su Xiaoqiang's clothes, and the scattered tops, skirts and underwear blocked the view of both parties.

But for Dion, who was used to duels, this was just a piece of cake.

I'm not used to throwing gravel in my hands, so I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a duel master who relies on this to make a living!

The rapier in Dion's hand collided with the holy sword.

Although it is just an ordinary sword, although Catherine's Sword is a holy sword, it is not used for combat, so there is no problem.

not to mention.

In terms of strength, I have the advantage! (Referring to muscle strength A versus muscle strength B)

Just this one bite overwhelms her!

"Joan of Arc! Joan of Arc!"

Dion angrily questioned the saint's name.

"You actually didn't hesitate to attack innocent people!?"

".Chaldean magicians are also magicians"

Jeanne deflected Dion's sword.

"If you don't stop me, I will stop before I hurt her."

"Do you think I believe this nonsense!?" As a professional duelist, Dion felt that his profession was insulted.

"meeting"

But Joan's tone was very calm.

"The Lord will save all, so the Lord will stop my sword before I kill her."

"If she didn't stop her, then wouldn't she be a villain not worth saving!?" Dion used weak points to stimulate Joan of Arc even during the battle.

"Yes" - Joan of Arc opened her mouth wide. Judging from the shape of her mouth, she seemed to want to say this, but when she thought this way, a tingling feeling surged up from the depths of her mind, preventing her from saying it. exit.

Dion saw his opportunity.

——I'm sorry, Her Royal Highness Princess Mary, it seems that I can't complete all your requests.

——Anyway, even if the heroic spirit dies, it can be summoned again.

"Let me knock you down right here!"

"The voice of the Lord will guide me to save everyone!" Joan of Arc also roared, as if venting some painful feelings to her.

The secret of the rapier! Seven consecutive stabs like flying stars!

Calculate the trajectory, integrate attack and defense, and inflict fatal damage to the enemy while blocking!

This is France’s supreme number, the magic sword of geometry!

--duel! ——

[Joan of Arc’s ‘Sword Skill’: 1D100=83]

[Dion’s ‘sword skill’: 1D100+20 (mind’s eye) +30 (sword master) = 106]

【83＜106】

(——Succeeded!)

Sure enough, as Dion expected, Joan of Arc actually didn't know any swordsmanship at all and had no experience in learning. She just followed the voice of 'revelation' she could hear and fought with a transcendent intuition.

(Incorporate these into the ‘calculation’, and the winning method will be clear!)

The cross sword and the rapier collided, creating fireworks.

As expected, it didn't take long for Joan of Arc to rely on her own defense and plan to trade injuries with Dion.

But it's no use!

Dion, who was originally the most suitable job agent for Assassin, will get a substantial melee bonus after getting Saber's job agent!

Want to trade wounds for wounds? I won't give you a chance!

Defend Jeanne's attack.

Then press it in one breath!

--Light

Scarlet light shined on Joan of Arc's back, and finally turned into a tree-like pattern.

(That is.)

The pale golden light of divinity shines in Jeanne's eyes.

"I order you with a command spell not to move."

——Skill·God’s Judgment A

This is a special skill possessed by Joan of Arc. As long as the heroic spirit is summoned by the summoning technique established under the Holy Grail system, it cannot disobey the order of the 'Lord' who is the holder of the Holy Grail.

This skill can be said to be the prototype of the command spell system.

With a suppression ability that is close to the command-spell level, even if Joan is not the real master, she can still 'order' the servants who appear in front of her to be temporarily 'incapacitated'.

".!?"

[The ‘power’ of Joan of Arc’s ‘divine judgment’: 95]

[Dion’s ‘struggle’: 1D50+50 (autosuggestion)=23+50=73]

【95＞73】

Just one moment of action cannot be enough.

Even if the rhythm of the moment is disrupted, can Dion react in a shorter time?

No problem.

The sword given by the French royal family penetrated Joan of Arc's shoulder, but Joan of Arc's goal has been achieved. Although she is white, she is actually more reckless than the black Joan of Arc in both her mind and actions——

As the blood dyed the sword red, she hugged Dion and jumped up, reaching a height of nearly 100 meters!

Then, the two of them fell together like meteorites falling.

The shock wave caused by the collision with the ground destroyed the entire block!

——The victory has been decided.

This is the characteristic of the Ruler job agency. If Saber can fight, then Ruler is tough enough!

←to be continued!

The more I looked up Dion’s information, the more interesting it became.

The one judged by the gods is actually the pattern on Joan of Arc's back when she wears a halter top in the FA animated version.

This skill is completely like the phantom god of civil war ()

Speaking of which, as the saint who is closest to the Lord among the cross saints who have appeared so far, Joan of Arc, who is also a pure barbarian, basically follows the Lord's "revelation" directly in her actions.

In other words, that sexy backless plainclothes outfit was also ordered by the Lord (bushi)

Speaking of which, Martha’s saintly costume is also very astringent ()
