Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

64. Black Butler

sterilizer

Nowadays, it is difficult to determine how this method of preserving the mysteries of the mythical age in a way similar to 'bacteria' and 'viruses', which can be applied until modern times, was born.

There are currently two mainstream views in the academic community. The traditional one generally believes that the prototype of this technology is the ancient primitive shamanic sacrifice-which is now commonly known as "blood sacrifice".

Or maybe a 'druid'? ‘Druid’?

Some people also believe that the current cultivators may be special sacrifices specially raised and trained by ancient shamans.

After all, when most propagandists use their 'viral magic', they need to engage in self-mutilation to activate it.

The most well-known entity in the magic world is the 'Macramis Family'.

To be more precise, it was a woman named ‘Bazett’ who belonged to this family.

This family is generally considered to be the descendants of the Red Branch Knights to which Cu Chulainn belongs, and some believe that they are the last descendants of Cu Chulainn. However, what really makes this family famous is the emergence of a woman named Bazett. Bing was hired by the Magician Association. As a 'living heroic spirit', she can engage in head-to-head combat with heroic spirits with her flesh and blood body alone. She also possesses the 'Anti-heroic spirit magic outfit' that can restrain the vast majority of heroic spirits.

That is the [Sword that Slashes the God of War] - commonly known as the [Reverse Light Sword].

This magic weapon is a veritable inheritance from the gods, and has the effect of reversing the cause and effect of time and space. As long as the enemy launches a move that is thought to be a [nirvana], the sword will be launched from the future where the enemy launches the special move, and will be launched in the future. Hitting the target at the time "before the enemy has launched his special move", destroys all the power of the enemy's special move and pours it into his heart.

It is a special magical equipment with a subtle, harsh judgment, or an extremely wide range of judgment.

Because Bazett himself is... Well, if I have to say it, he is a 'social animal' and a 'workaholic'. As a result, this equipment cannot be said to be famous far and near, but it can also be said to be known to everyone. Chaldea's database even has a special name for it. She herself made a separate genre profile.

[Reverse Light Sword] is powerful, but as long as you know its judgment range and don't trigger it, there is no difference between more ordinary light bullets, and it is even worse than ordinary bullets. However, more people are interested in it because they know this. Frustrated at the hands of Bazett.

Because he was too concerned about the effect of [Reverse Light Sword], he underestimated Bazett's melee fighting ability that was not in line with the times. Regardless of the rational Hercules, if it was Heracles who was tainted by madness and had his reason, Not to mention defeat, at least until his physical strength is exhausted, Bazett can remain undefeated with the flesh and blood of modern humans.

In short, [Backlight Sword] is so famous in the modern mysterious world because of Bazett's excessive abuse.

Although it became well-known in the 21st century, such a family must have existed in the Victorian era of the 19th century.

In fact, compared to the battle-mad Bazett's line, the 'Gravekeeper' line to which Gray belongs is a more common state among those who inherit the germ.

Gravekeeper, as the name suggests, is a lineage for the undead, inherited from the (part-time) Gudrui's Morgan Le Fay. It is obviously the sister (brother) of this great witch who incarnated herself into the King of the Wild Hunt (Lord of the Undead). ) and created.

The original function was to serve as a sacrifice to summon, bind, and seal King Arthur. However, due to some unknown reasons, Morgan seemed to have given up on this plan——

Of course, those have nothing to do with the current Chaldea.

Da Vinci asked Lu Mingfei to ask Moriarty about this, and his purpose was very simple. He just wanted to use Moriarty's local power to increase his own combat effectiveness.

Whether it’s the [Sword of the God of War (Reverse Light Sword)] inherited from Bazett’s line.

It’s still the one inherited from Gray’s lineage [Lungominiad (Anchor of the World)]

Logically speaking, with Moriarty's power, the Victorian era was a 'turning era' for the mysterious world - an era when countless young people were involved in the industrial wave and began to try to get out of the traditional comfort zone.

In an era like this, with the setting of Moriarty's crime-trafficking empire, even Sherlock Holmes had to master the Clock Tower alone. It was not surprising at all that Moriarty would trick and abduct the young man who inherited the Germinator family.

Otherwise, with Holmes's power to beat up Chimeras with his bare hands - in modern times, he would demolish buildings with his bare hands - and with Holmes' ability to beat people up whenever he disagrees with his words, he looks gentle but is actually a violent maniac. How can Moriarty, who has a temper and is just an ordinary old man, play with Sherlock Holmes?

Don't say Moriarty relies on his wits.

Anyone who has read Sherlock Holmes knows that his favorite thing is to defeat ten people with one force. There are only two things that Holmes enjoys. One is the process of seeing through the tracks and finding evidence, and the other is punishing the prisoner.

What? You said that you didn't really break the law and that your evil deeds were all allowed by the law?

I'm sorry, Mr. Fu himself doesn't care about the law at all. He just enjoys the pleasure of punishing criminals. Should he be beaten or beaten, do you want to hire a lawyer? Good guy, do you think Mr. Fu cares about justice in procedures and results?

Lawyers who dare to help criminals defend themselves! Extra sin! Beat them together!

Otherwise, the Clock Tower's enforcer troops wouldn't have brought all their belongings with them, and then Holmes would take advantage of them.

Just because he knew what kind of person Sherlock Holmes was, Leonardo da Vinci came up with a very reasonable answer after collecting information related to the era:

Facing an outlaw like Holmes, if Moriarty wants to survive him, in addition to resourcefulness, what he needs more is the ability to compete with him - at least the power to survive him.

Otherwise, Sherlock Holmes's character would turn the tables on his disagreements. The moment he was sure that Moriarty could not be punished legally, he would denounce violence.

Holmes' justice does not exist anywhere in the world, but only in his heart. Even this standard is very flexible, but most of the time Holmes's likes and dislikes are in line with the preferences of most people.

". Above, this is Leonardo's reasoning. Professor, what do you think?"

After listening patiently to Lu Mingfei's words, Moriarty first shook his head:

"It's not the professor, it's the 'eldest lady'. I am Moriarty's granddaughter, Alice Moriarty."

Lu Mingfei showed a subtle look: "Why is it Alice again?"

"This is a very common name. To be more precise, since the publication of "Alice in Wonderland" in 1865, this name has been the most popular girl's name. For most girls, this name The name seems to be synonymous with 'princess'."

Moriarty said it with certainty.

Do you really want to be a princess? Have fun?

This is strange in every sense of the word coming from your mouth.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei was habitually going off topic, Lilim had no choice but to step forward and change the direction of the topic:

"So, teach Miss, you must have something, right? It can be used to deal with or at least compete with Sherlock Holmes in terms of force. Please don't talk about the magic costume you are wearing. Although they are all high-end products, you can see it. It turns out that you are an excellent magician, but after all, you are not a magician, and you have no special bloodline. You are just an ordinary person, and you cannot truly weave magic by yourself. Of course, the most important thing is"

"Almost all magic, when faced with Sherlock Holmes, will be invalidated by his ability [Elucidator], right?" Moriarty answered quickly.

This answer cannot be said to be completely accurate, but it is indeed correct from the results, so Lilim did not add anything more, but continued:

"So you must have some kind of power to fight it, and keep it with you."

Lilim did not continue to speak, but glanced at Sebastian Moran, who had been standing silently beside Moriarty from the beginning, as if he really played the role of butler and eldest lady with him. .

The most likely person is him.

Moreover, in this Britain, faced with Sherlock Holmes, who possesses the "Elucidator", who emphasizes physical fitness and hand-to-hand combat ability more than magic, the "Inheritance Instructor", who can be called a modern heroic spirit, is the most likely existence to confront him.

"Not to mention why you think 'I can't weave magic' instead of 'I think magic is too inefficient for Holmes'? In fact, there are surprisingly many black technologies in this era that have not been openly disclosed. Moreover, this Why don't you just ask Holmes this question?" Moriarty skillfully used words to do Tai Chi.

"This is also part of sincerity, and" Lilim paused, glanced at Lu Mingfei next to her, and found that he didn't care about this, then continued on her own: "If it were that Sherlock Holmes, he would definitely use it too. Similar reasons are used to prevaricate the past. In fact, we are now divided into two teams. Holmes is in the other group, and forming an alliance with you is just an action of our group. Of course, if you don’t want to say it, just Just tell us 'confidential'."

"I see, are you showing sincerity? Then I ask in turn, if I show sincerity, how will you give me feedback?"

"Isn't it enough to save the world together?" Lilim asked.

Moriarty spread his hands: "It's pointless if you say that. After all, although I am very sure that I am here to save the world, I am not completely sure of your thoughts, especially since you are here to save the world." With that suspicious Holmes."

"I have already said that Holmes is currently operating in a group with us, and it is only our side that has come to form an alliance. So, are you willing to answer?"

"What if I was willing to answer that question?"

"Then we will also show sincerity."

"Can't you tell me in advance?"

"No, but I can guarantee that the sincere content will definitely satisfy you, Professor. Miss."

Moriarty narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just when Lu Mingfei was resisting the urge to complain, "It's so troublesome for you guys to talk" and the desire to yawn, Moriarty finally gave the answer:

"As to whether we have the power to compete with Holmes?"

【1. Yes (willing to inform)】

[2. No (refuse to disclose)]

【1D2=1】

[So, in order to avoid troublesome reading on Moriarty, the default here is that 'Sebastian Moran' has some special ability]

[Specifically, it’s——]

[1/6, the inheritor of the ‘Reverse Light Sword’ (Bazett’s same family)]

[2. The inheritor of ‘Lungominyade’]

【3. The inheritor of ‘Kukulkan’】

[4. The sixth overhead element·Devil (the ‘devil’ in ordinary people’s impression)]

【5. The true devil who is bound to the world】

[7. Son of the witch (suspected to be a goblin)]

【8. Demon God Bloodline】

【9. Artificial Death Apostle】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=5】

——Moriarty's answer stunned Lilim and Da Vinci, who was eavesdropping from behind.

Lu Mingfei didn't feel anything at all, and even asked, "What is a true devil?"

"Things in higher dimensions, or the outer universe, that have the characteristic of being 'undefinable'"

Da Vinci seemed to be affected by something. He hesitated for a while before he thought of a suitable metaphor that was easy for Lu Mingfei to understand.

"You must know the 'Cthulhu Mythos' created by Lovecraft and Derleth, right? It's an existence similar to the definition of 'Old Dominator' there. The Great Sea Demon we saw in France also has a similar definition. , Of course it’s not completely accurate. If I have to say it, it’s similar to the ancient god in the game called “Bloodborne” that Lu Mingfei liked to play with the people around him before the big bang.”

The gap between the upper and lower limits is too big. Can everything from ancient gods to sea demons be considered such creatures? Oh no, when we were fighting the sea demon, if Gaia hadn't extended a helping hand and borrowed Lu Mingfei's power to expel the invading creatures from the outer universe, maybe that thing would have been unexpectedly difficult to deal with.

but

"Leaving aside the strength of individual strength, this 'cannot be accurately defined' characteristic is indeed a method used against Sherlock Holmes's [Explainer]."

Da Vinci was thoughtful. In this way, at the end of the story between Holmes and Moriarty, Holmes, who clearly possessed overwhelming violence and chose to overturn the table, was forced to die with Moriarty (although Holmes survived in the end ), maybe it’s because Moriarty has such troublesome things around him.

"Actually, just think of him as a slightly special demon that I summoned from beyond the stars, mainly to deal with that abominable Sherlock Holmes."

As soon as Moriarty raised his hand, Moran immediately handed over a cup of freshly brewed black tea with understanding.

"If he loses my contract, his body will not be able to continue to exist in the human world. On the other hand, as long as everything is fine with me and my consciousness is not destroyed by mental pollution as a side effect of the contract, he will be just my loyal dog."

Professor Moriarty's willpower.

Lu Mingfei knocked his head and paraphrased Da Vinci's words: "The last question is not a problem, Miss, because we are people from the future, so we know that your 'grandfather', Professor Moriarty Their goal is to 'destroy the planet' - in other words, they are people who research weapons to 'destroy the planet'. Would a person with such an outrageous goal really devote himself to saving the world? In other words, why did your grandfather Do you have such a research goal?”

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

Regarding these harsh questions, Moriarty was particularly calm.

"Human beings cannot be confined to this planet forever. Sooner or later, when the day comes when human beings enter the sea of ​​stars, weapons that destroy planets will become a type of conventional weapons sooner or later. I just want to It’s just to be the first to take advantage of the market. Of course, occasionally, I also feel that the reason why humans have not set foot in the universe for so many years, but are competing for interests on this small planet, may be because our human souls are I am bound by the gravity of this planet - so I occasionally want to destroy this shackles (planet) that binds humans.

Are you satisfied with this answer? It's just interest, not any special reason. So, can you tell me, what will you give me in return for my sincerity? "

It is indeed time for Chaldea to give some feedback.

Otherwise, it would not be good if it was completely free. Although Lu Mingfei would definitely not feel embarrassed, others were different.

So, what exactly is the thing that Chaldea decided to give to Moriarty, something that will definitely satisfy him?

——to be continued!

By the way, in FGO's Shinjuku Subspecies Singularity, the reason why Moriarty cooperated with the Demon Lord Barr was because Barr agreed to assist Moriarty in conducting an experiment of 'destroying the planet' ()
