Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

57. Don’t ask, asking is official cheating

Subtitle: Finally a plot opportunity that reflects the official cheating setting

In Lu Mingfei's unclear exclamation.

In the eyes of the crew of the Argonauts, headed by Jason, they were proud and even 'proud of it'.

Gorgeous, even giving people a sense of 'nobility', the magic lines like golden threads filled the vision of everyone present.

This is astrology, a magic system that borrows the starlight power of celestial bodies in the universe.

Even if we don’t talk about depth, just being ‘able to use’, he is a one-in-a-million talent.

For Kirshtalia like this, the Argonauts, who more or less possess the status of 'Star God', must have some natural affinity for her, right?

Leonardo da Vinci once guessed that if Kirshtalia had not been bombed into the sea of ​​imaginary numbers by Professor Leif on the day of the Chaldean explosion, if those who embarked on the journey were not Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang Kadok's trio, and if Kirshtalia is there, it may become his one-man show.

The adaptability to the celestial body and the natural compatibility with the Star God allow Kirshtalia to easily pull out a powerful heroic spirit army alone even without the support of Chaldea's ritual field.

The Argonauts - this group of demigods with so many, even the collective 'Group' itself, is judged to be the team of the Star Gods, is a natural ally for Kirshtalia.

At the moment, although Kirshtalia was quite unlucky all the way here, in terms of results, he is still back on track.

Because of Kirshtalia's relationship, the alliance was theoretically quite smooth.

The reason why we talk about it in theory is because the two sides cannot reach a consensus on the purpose.

Although we can agree to share information together to guide the singularity.

But the most important thing, the Holy Grail, and the 'glory of being the victor', the Argonauts refused to give in at all.

Lu Mingfei was very sensible and did not forcefully ask to embarrass Kirshtalia who was in the camp over there.

Olga Marie naturally hopes to let Mikazuki win the championship - but Kirshtalia and the Argonauts cannot give in on this point.

Even, compared to the ownership of the Holy Grail, they give priority to this so-called 'glory of victory'.

Maybe this is a Greek hero?

Kirshtalia has obviously been recognized as one of the Argonauts because of her overwhelming abilities. On this basis, in addition to Castor saying "Pollux is the most beautiful", Everyone else believes that this honor called 'Cinderella' should belong to Kirshtalia.

Glory is more important than life or righteousness. It's very Greek anyway.

Even Atalanta, who had cooperated with Lu Mingfei and Chaldea in the past and said that she had memories of being a raging witch in France, reluctantly expressed her support for the Argonauts' choice.

Kirshtalia himself was quite satisfied with this point.

[Kirshtalia’s ‘interest’ in ‘becoming a Cinderella Girl Champion’: 1D100+20 (due to personality) = 72+20=92 (Do you all want to be a princess so much?)]

No! Kirshtalia herself is very interested!

Do you all have the consciousness that "your true gender is male"? ?

Why do you feel that those of you who come to compete in women's clothing have a higher fighting spirit than the girls you are? ?

Forget it.

Anyway, although they can reach a consensus on "attacking the singularity", they can't do anything else. It even made people wonder whose side Kirshtalia was on.

At least Lilim had such a headache.

However, other people who have some understanding of Kirshtalia's character all look like "As expected of you" and "He is the one who did this kind of thing".

The alliance was achieved, but not fully achieved.

During the Cinderella Cup, you may also want to consider combining vertical and horizontal lines or something.

If you think about it carefully, there are also many people Lu Mingfei knows among the other major competitors.

The Cinderella of the Thousand World Tree Group is Fiore, and Lu Mingfei’s Corles is her younger brother. At the same time, the most powerful Greek immortal master Chiron there has also fought side by side with Chaldea. ally.

Thinking about it this way, among the four major competitive groups, Moriarty and Tesla's team have nothing to do with Lu Mingfei and others. Lu Mingfei originally thought so, but midway Da Vinci said that over there He saw his acquaintance in life. When Lu Mingfei came to find Kirshtalia, Da Vinci had already gone to see his acquaintance Ma Qili.

Thinking about it this way, although Lu Mingfei's group is the least competitive on paper, it surprisingly has a lot of room for off-site operations.

After all, if you only look at the data on paper, the Argonauts team is considered to be the best, and the other teams put together may not be able to beat them.

Next, is the first step of the alliance between the Argonauts and Mikazuki Mingfei.

Divination on ‘who is currently in control of the London Singularity’.

The most difficult first step, activating the divination technique, was easily overcome in the face of Kirshtalia's overwhelming talent.

The next step is whether the results can be obtained——

Lu Mingfei saw a lot of gorgeous and cool CG special effects. Because he couldn't understand them, he couldn't marvel at Kirshtalia's abilities like others. After the initial sense of fashion passed, he thought a little bit yawn.

If Lu Mingfei was forced to comment, Lu Mingfei might have no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Boss Wodam, the style of your spells is similar to the CG of Final Fantasy. It's really cool."

Fortunately, this boring wait will not last forever. In fact, it didn't take long. After about a minute and a half, the special effects of the spell dissipated. Kirshtalia, who had closed her eyes to feel the breath of the universe while casting the spell, opened her eyes again, but the expression on her face was a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei resisted the urge to yawn and asked proactively, "What's the result?"

"'The throne in heaven is vacant.'" Kirshtalia was silent for a moment: ".There is no controller now, so it is vacant."

"So it means there is no result?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "Failed? In fact, it's not bad. After all, this kind of thing is like checking the strategy of playing a game. It would be abnormal if there is a result."

"No, that's not right. Lu Mingfei, you misunderstood what I meant."

Kirshtalia shook her head.

The dull Lu Mingfei also noticed that everyone around him, including Jason and other demigods, gods and heroes, all showed stern expressions in response to Kirshtalia's answer.

"It's not that there are no results, Lu Mingfei. The divination technique was successfully activated and it did give me results. As long as it can produce results, it must be correct. In other words - this London Singularity is now' Ownerless' status."

"The throne that governs the London Singularity is vacant!"

Not ‘nothing’, not ‘non-existence’, but ‘vacancy’.

Assuming that astrology is a method, the answer may not be obtained, but as long as the answer is obtained, the answer must be correct.

If this little bit of trivia is certain, then the content of the answer is very subtle.

'The throne is vacant'

On the other hand, the throne does exist, and there is indeed a king of the singularity, but that king is not in the position now.

Of course, Lu Mingfei took it for granted that this was referring to 'Mrs. Bertha' who was sealed as Dr. Watson.

Lady Bertha, the King of the Wild Hunt, is the King of the Singularity in London, but when Lu Mingfei and others came, Lady Bertha had been sealed by Holmes through some means, so this throne of existence appeared, but it was vacant. Case.

But Lilim and other people with occult knowledge collectively raised objections.

The reason seems to lie in the magic used to seal Lady Bertha.

The principle of sealing Lady Bertha's technique is to overwrite and rewrite Lady Bertha's identity as 'Doctor Watson'.

When the seal is successful and the spell is established, although it is said to be a seal, as long as the spell is established, Lady Bertha will become a state that "did not exist from the beginning".

In other words, as long as the seal is still running smoothly, there will be no 'throne' at all, and there will be no King of Singularity.

Lu Mingfei didn't understand this, but Da Vinci had already confirmed it.

But the result given by Kirshtalia’s astrology is not that ‘the King of Singularity does not exist’, but ‘the throne of the King of Singularity is vacant’.

Just in case, Kirshtalia activated the astrology twice again regardless of physical exertion.

The second question this time was to face Dr. Watson and ask: ‘Is the existence in front of me the king of singularities? ’

【Difficulty: 125】

[Kirshtalia’s ‘Divination’: 1D100+100 (Light of Human Reason)=71+100=171]

【171＞125】

【success! 】

Although the accuracy of the technique dropped a little compared to the last time, it was still successfully launched.

The answer Kirshtalia got was——

no.

The Alice Watson in front of her is not the King of Singularity.

So, the third question:

‘Is the existence in front of me directly or indirectly related to the current King of Singularity? ’

【Difficulty: 125】

[Kirshtalia’s ‘Divination’: 1D100+100 (Light of Human Reason)=33+100=133]

【133＞125】

【success! 】

Kirshtalia still showed obvious fatigue, but still successfully activated the astrology in a narrow way.

The answer this time——

Still 'no'.

Obviously, Kirshtalia's current state no longer supports his continued use of astrology.

But at this point, although it is outrageous, one thing can be confirmed.

That is, after Lady Bertha, who was originally the King of Singularity, was sealed, a new King of Singularity appeared in the London Singularity, but for some unknown reason, that King of Singularity has now left the throne. The throne is vacant.

"This is actually a relatively abstract way of describing it, and it should reflect the actual situation in reality."

Kirshtalia thought about it, and as an expert in this field, she gave the most reliable answer.

"Perhaps it has been weakened for some reasons. For example, although it is still the King of Singularity, its strength does not match that of the King of Singularity. Or, perhaps, this King of Singularity has been weakened by something similar to Bertha. Madam’s seal has a different sealing principle, and she was forcibly dragged off the throne, but why?”

Why?

Lilim suddenly looked at Holmes who looked like Fu Fu: "Why?"

Holmes didn't seem surprised by Lilim's sudden behavior. He calmly chewed a porcelain pipe without tobacco and replied: "If I knew the answer to this, this singularity wouldn't continue, right?"

In short, this singularity has fallen into a very delicate endgame.

Obviously, the original king of the singularity was Bertha, but before Lu Mingfei and others arrived, Bertha had already been attacked by Sherlock Holmes, a native of this era, and the attack was even very successful.

But the singularity doesn’t end there—it’s actually explainable.

Although Holmes defeated the King of Singularity, the Holy Grail was not recovered, so the Singularity continues.

However, if this is the case, how can we explain the current ‘vacant throne’?

".I'll try again and see if I can activate it again. Changes will happen later. Who knows if there will be any changes."

Kirshtalia took a deep breath.

Lu Mingfei was a little worried about her physical condition, but Kirshtalia herself was very tolerant: "My real body is still sinking under the sea of ​​imaginary numbers. No matter how it changes now, it is just composed of information." It’s just a missing body. Compared to my true body, this body may be able to last longer.”

Kirshtalia adjusted the flow of magic power and tried to activate astrology again——

Jason frowned and advised her not to force herself.

[Difficulty: 70]

[Kirshtalia’s ‘will’ is being tested. If successful, he can activate astrology again]

[Kirshtalia’s ‘will’: 1D100=92]

but.

"It can't be done at all, or something like that, I don't understand."

The light shines in the eyes of the Son of Man.

the fourth time! Astrology! launch!

"The question this time is - 'Is there a shady secret behind this singularity'?"

【Difficulty: 125】

[Kirshtalia’s ‘Divination’: 1D100+100 (Light of Human Reason)=51+100=151]

【151＞125】

【success! 】

Kirshtalia got the answer.

".'Yes'. The answer is 'Yes'."

Under the care of Asclepius, the god of medicine, Kirshtalia revealed the answer to the divination.

"Since there is a 'vacant throne' and it is certain that there is a shady secret in this singularity, that means——"

Jason concluded.

"As long as we win the Cinderella Cup and recover the Holy Grail as the prize, we can solve this peculiarity. It seems impossible."

Then Jason began to see off the guests.

After all, Kirshtalia's body had really reached its limit after four consecutive cheats.

☆

After leaving the Argonauts' station, Lilim spoke her mind before everyone else.

"Although Captain Jason said this, I think the recovery of the Holy Grail itself is still very important - from this perspective, in fact, among the four teams, we, the Argonauts, and the Thousand World Tree, One of the purposes of recovering the Holy Grail is to repair the singularity, right?

Regardless of selfish desires, we just need to prevent the fourth team, that is, Moriarty, from recovering the Holy Grail. After all, if the crime monger gets the Holy Grail, there is no guarantee that he will not do something bad. Come down and meet them! "

But, that night, something happened.

Someone was attacked, but it was already the next day when the incident was discovered. The victim - was 'petrified'.
