Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

89. Beloved concubine

"Why are you wearing women's clothes, Senior Brother with Facial Paralysis!?"

Of course, this complaint was just a joke by Lu Mingfei.

Chu Zihang's reason for dressing up as a woman is just like Cowles, to avoid suspicion - after all, men who are similar in age in the women's team and even the staff will inevitably be attacked by some strange messages.

At least with the character of Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, he would definitely not miss this opportunity.

The real disadvantage of Chu Zihang's women's clothing is that compared to Cowles who just put on a skirt, he also put on exquisite makeup and had good foundation. If Lu Mingfei wasn't familiar with it, at first glance he would have thought Some kind of beautiful girl with the attribute of "Samurai Princess" appeared.

It must have been the makeup that Xia Mi put on him, right? I don’t know when the relationship between them became so close. Oh no, according to Xia Mi, she was Chu Zihang’s ex-girlfriend when she was in junior high school? Lu Mingfei only officially met Chu Zihang in high school, so he didn't understand these things very well.

All joking, but Lu Mingfei completely trusted Chu Zihang.

Even if the memory is still covered by the fairy tale world, even if the guidance is broken, after listening to the explanation, Chu Zihang will definitely embark on the road of becoming a savior - not embarking on a journey to become a savior, but thinking that he should embark on a journey. Embark on a journey to save not for honor or reward, but for the sake of salvation itself.

In Lu Mingfei's impression, Chu Zihang was such a pure and trustworthy activist - at least more trustworthy than Xia Mi.

——On the way to surface London for investigation

Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of something.

"Speaking of the investigation of the Holy Church, I suddenly remembered how the previous investigation of the magician's association's blood sacrifice incident was going? Is there any result?"

As he said this, Lu Mingfei glanced at San Riyue. But I found that Sanriyue didn't seem to care much about this aspect.

"Um - well" Xia Mi protracted for some reason, with a strange tone, "Actually, the investigation has ended and the results have been released."

"Is this the result? It feels like I didn't even participate in it." Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.

"The world has never intentionally revolved around a certain living body."

"How exactly? Who did what there? Who was the guy who sacrificed the blood of those hot-blooded young people? Why did they do it?"

"Senior Brother Wulu, sometimes, for some things, it's better not to explain them clearly than to explain them clearly." Xia Mi said vaguely.

Lu Mingfei couldn't tell for a moment whether she was deliberately concealing it, or simply because it was too troublesome to explain to Lu Mingfei, so she didn't bother to say it.

So Lu Mingfei asked: "Is this what Military Advisor Kong Ming meant?"

"Well!" Xia Mi became more straightforward now, "That's what Teacher Kong Ming said. You don't have to worry about the matter over there. The truth has been revealed anyway. He will handle the matter over there. Just maintain this attitude and continue to complete yourself." The strategy mission."

Xia Mi said and patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder: "We still have to rely on you to lure the people from the Holy Church out."

"Me? Leading out the Holy Church? Why me? Are they still avoiding you?"

Lu Mingfei just felt baffled.

Why am I connected with the Holy Church again? Is it possible that if I didn’t come, their people wouldn’t have been sent out?

"Yes, it is true," Xia Mi sighed with emotion, but did not explain in detail why the people of the Holy Church would avoid him and others, but continued, "The relationship between the Magicians Association and the Holy Church is very complicated. , it’s almost like saying they are irreconcilable, and what we are looking for now is the ‘Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo’, which is a special power hidden by the church, so naturally we have to deal with them who are hiding it.”

Lu Mingfei had no problem with the specific reasons for their hiding. As Kong Ming said, some things are too troublesome to explain. It might be easier to take action if not explained clearly, so Lu Mingfei did not go into details:

"So, you said you want me to lure them out. How exactly do I do it?"

"As long as you perform the miracles of Christianity."

"? Me? Miracle? Do I have that kind of thing?"

☆

Led by Xia Mi and Chu Zihang, the photography trio arrived at the fifth largest church in the world - St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Before Lu Mingfei came here, he thought that what Xia Mi said about "showing a miracle" was that Lu Mingfei activated his "Cinderella Magic" and transformed into the special "battle mode" he had in France. ——The appearance of Lucifer, the Wings of Glory.

As a result, Xia Mi rolled his eyes: "Are you stupid? I won't complain about Lucifer's identity. Do you think you are dissatisfied with using something like Cinderella magic, which is regarded as heretical magic by the church, to reproduce the posture of an angel? Don’t you have enough trouble?”

Lu Mingfei was speechless: "Then do I have any other cross-religious miracles or anything like that?"

"Stupid! Senior Brother Lu! Aren't you still wearing the friendship badge given to you by the Holy King? That is the true crystallization of the concept of the Seven Virtues of the Cross!"

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this seemed to be what happened.

Chu Zihang, the silent guard with a knife, suddenly spoke: "Actually, this is the territory of the Protestant Church, and your badge is the secret ritual of the Roman Catholic Church. Strictly speaking, it is not very suitable."

Lu Mingfei could understand what Chu Zihang meant.

The relationship between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in reality is similar to the relationship between Puritanism and Roman Catholicism in "A Certain Magical Index", right?

"But it's better than taking out something from Lucifer!"

Xia Mi interrupted the boys' hesitation and issued the order in place of Kong Ming, who was not present:

"Show your friendship! Lulu! Zihan!"

Co-author, you have even thought of a female version of the name for the facial paralyzed senior brother?

Complaints are complaints.

Under the crowd of beautiful girls, Lu Mingfei, who felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, took out his friendship badge and came to Chu Zihang's side.

By the way, although these weirdos are not conscious of themselves, the church nun who is staring at these suspicious people said that she is the one who feels most uncomfortable - what are you weirdos doing here? Without praying or coming to confession, they just gathered there without knowing what they were discussing, and used our holy church as a secret base for children to play?

There were many people around who recognized the identities of these girls as ‘campus idols’ and gradually gathered around them.

Anyway.

Just like that, with many people watching, Lu Mingfei raised his badge and stood next to Chu Zihang——

"Hold hands!" San Riyue suddenly shouted.

"Hold hands!" Eriyi shouted subconsciously!

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, you are all of the same sex." Xia Mi followed, wondering if there was something behind his words.

Anyway——

According to the fairy tale world, it can only interfere with the memory of the person inside, but cannot affect that person's character from an essential point of view.

The bond of friendship between Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, half-brothers, is of course great!

Although there are no enemies now, and the classic Chulu combination double battle is not staged, it is just to the extent that the friendship badge shines——

[Difficulty: 55]

[The ‘shine level’ of the friendship badge: 1D100+50 (the bond of Chu Lu brothers) = 29 + 50 = 79]

【79＞55】

【success! 】

The friendship badge bloomed, and the energy of the 'Friendship Angel' contained in it spread. In an instant, the entire St. Paul's Cathedral seemed to be resonating with it. The huge building seemed to be alive, and there was some kind of faintness in it. The gloomy atmosphere was swept away, and everyone inside the church couldn't help but feel refreshed.

The nun who was originally worried about how to get rid of these strange female dolls suddenly showed a serious expression.

She came to Lu Mingfei and asked tentatively and respectfully, "Everyone, what is this?"

Xia Mi answered first: "Father Faria asked us to come! Does anyone here know Father Faria?"

——Father Faria

This name appeared in "The Count of Monte Cristo". It was the life mentor Edmond Dantès met in the Chateau d'If prison. It was also he who told Edmond the location of the secret treasure of Monte Cristo and assisted him in escaping from prison. , it can be said that without him there would be no famous Avengers.

The old nanny nodded and led the investigation team to a basement of St. Paul's Cathedral. The layout here looked like the base of some kind of underground organization, and there were even many firearms of this era stored.

Although his performance in this area was unsatisfactory in Chaldea, Lu Mingfei still knew something about the 'force' between the Holy Church and the Magician Association, which was also called the 'Agent' battle. presence of troops.

This should be the underground base of the local agent, right?

Although he said this, Lu Mingfei and others did not see any trace of recent activity here.

Under the recommendation of the old grandma, the person who appeared in front of the investigation team was——

——Disagreement · Emergence——

[1. The man who calls himself Father Faria? 】

【2. Edmond Dantès himself】

【3/5/6/7/8, the real Haidee】

【4/9, Edmond himself and the real Haidee】

【10. Super expansion of chaos】

【1D10=7】

——Translucent shadow

For a moment, she thought she was a ghost or something, but her vague appearance quickly stabilized after coming into contact with the light released by the friendship badge in Lu Mingfei's hand.

"I am - 'Haydée', the real Haydée."

In any case, the other party will definitely not be human.

The woman who calls herself Haidee has a pretty face that is not human-like, and her age is probably somewhere between mature and youthful - of course, this refers to her appearance, not her actual age.

Her hair is a brownish flaxen color, but from the root to the tip it gradually turns into a ethereal blue like a flame. She is dressed in some kind of ethnic style, which seems to be Greek, Gypsy, or Israeli style?

Lu Mingfei couldn't confirm it, but the only thing he could confirm was that the spiritual woman in front of him who called herself 'Haidee' was definitely not a normal human life form.

Of course Lu Mingfei knew this name.

From the perspective of the ending of the story "The Count of Monte Cristo", she may be regarded as the heroine of this novel. She was once rescued as a slave by a count who was thirty years older than herself, grew up as an adopted daughter and helped She completed her revenge, and finally found redemption with the Earl in each other. It was gratifying that Coca-Cola got married and lived in seclusion.

But this is a story from a novel written by Alexandre Dumas.

The spirit woman in front of her is obviously not as simple as the one in the story.

"The stars tell me that you are the Chaldean stargazers who came to save this world from the distortion of human history, right?"

Haidee's clear emerald green eyes were filled with the light of wisdom.

——Well, as expected, this is not the first time Lu Mingfei has complained. We Chaldeans are really well-known.

But it’s good to know. Since you know, you must be here to help.

"You are from the future, and you have taken the initiative to find me. You must know my story very well, so there is no need for me to hide it - yes, my true identity is not a slave girl, I am the 'Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo' I am also a kind of 'elf' with characteristics similar to that of a 'demon god'. Of course, according to the Christian religion, I can also be regarded as a kind of 'angel'. I was the one who defeated the Serpent of Akasha with the Earl. "

Demon God?

Elf?

Angel?

I feel like I’ve heard similar terms a lot lately.

Before Lu Mingfei and others spoke, Miss Haide seemed to have been waiting for a long time. She couldn't wait and said her thoughts in one breath:

"You must be in great need of my ('Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo') power, right? From my personal point of view, I am willing to lend this power, but there are special conditions for the use of this power. Everyone, please listen to me briefly if you have time. Tell me? Tell me the story about me and the Earl."

The investigation team looked at each other and made a decision immediately. After several children moved the benches and Eriyi placed the camera in a suitable position, they began to look forward to it.

☆

The truth about the secret treasure of Monte Cristo is the elf Haidee herself.

To be more precise, after signing a contract with the elf Haidee, the contractor can get some kind of power from Haidee's body.

This is a special "spiritual attribute" power that takes on the form of a "black flame similar to electric light" in the hand, and gives the holder the ability to "feed back mental power to the physical body."

Specifically, the stronger the mental will, the more outrageous the physical fitness, the strength and speed will continue to increase, and can 'ignore all constraints', the 'restraints' here include not only 'time', 'space', and even It also includes something like 'fate'.

Its purpose in this world may be to eliminate the 'Snake of Akasha' among the Dead Apostles who has the ability to reincarnate continuously - the Snake of Akasha cannot be completely killed. Every time he is eliminated, he will Reincarnating into another person, forcibly taking away the other person's memory, knowledge, power, and personality, and repeating this process, is a type that will continue to become stronger as the number of reincarnations increases.

If we leave it alone, it will cause a disaster one day, right?

Until the ‘Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo’ appeared.

One day, a group of heretical demonologists gathered together in an attempt to make the Demon King of Hell appear. Among them was the hidden Serpent of Akasha. In order to find and control the secret treasure of Monte Cristo, they held a huge and blasphemous event. A miraculous magical ritual.

The location of the ceremony is the gateway to Marseille, a large port on the Mediterranean coast of southern France, at the Chateau d'If, about 2 kilometers away from the coast.

The sea prison, Chateau d'If, where countless vicious gangsters were imprisoned. Their filthy souls became the sacrifices of the filling ceremony. The malicious magicians and dead disciples turned the Chateau d'If into a literal " hell'.

To put it bluntly, the Chateau d'If was built into a special magic workshop. They claimed that it was connected to the "Seven Hells" in biblical legend, and became a veritable other world.

The internal space of the Chateau d'If has been infinitely enlarged and divided into seven levels. Each level has terrifying spirits summoned, shaped, and transformed by heretics.

They are the incarnations of original sin, and each possesses the attributes of the Seven Deadly Sins. The heretics continuously put their evil and filthy souls into them, and constantly improve the 'hell' by torturing them, turning them into the jailers of hell - that is, 'Devil', and the one who rules the devils of their respective classes is the devil of the Seven Deadly Sins.

【Arrogance】Lucifer

【Jealousy】Leviathan

【Gluttony】Beelzebub

【Lust】Asmodeus

Their purpose is to summon hell - although in the eyes of objective occultists, they are actually 'creating' what they believe to be [hell].

Their purpose is to summon the Demon King - although in the eyes of objective occultists, they are actually 'creating' the elves they believe to be the [Devil King].

Of course, because they often used techniques such as 'summoning' during this ritual, no one could tell whether there was a real devil infiltrating among the seven demon king-level elves.

It's even possible that the workshop they created is connected to the real hell.
