Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

95. The return of Fujimaru Ritsuka

It is really important to have a reliable military advisor.

Zhuge Kongming is good at the mysteries of the East, and the monarch El-Melloi II is the representative of the Western mysteries in the new era.

After combining the strength and wisdom of both parties, they can almost see through the truth behind all complex calculations.

for example

——The Argonauts are Greek heroes

Although he is a hero, there is a prefix of ‘Greece’ before him.

This point has been emphasized many times both in Kong Ming's analysis and in Jason's own narrative.

If they meet as warriors on the battlefield, the Argonauts may be admirable brave men. If they work together to save the world, they will also be the best partners.

For companions, for friendship, for love, for the world - give your life and soul.

For Greek heroes, this was the highest glory they pursued.

At first glance, it seems that modern people would think that they are such great and good people.

But this is a cultural difference and a limitation of the times.

If they don't fight side by side, but compete with them as opponents in order to 'fight for something', then they will definitely make their popularity itch.

You can’t even call them ‘despicable’ or ‘shameless’.

But in their concept, it is only natural to fight for something by any means necessary.

Where does the glory reside?

Sacrifice is glorious.

at the same time.

——Plunder is also an honor.

The glory of sacrifice is reflected in dedication and in sacrificing oneself to benefit everyone.

But the glory of plunder lies only in the 'trophies'.

Even heroes among heroes like Hercules were not immune to this, rather it was just a matter of course for them.

Therefore, Kong Ming knew very well from the beginning that the more he tried every means to shift the advantage of the competition to the Chaldean camp, the more the Argonauts chose to use any means and choose to overturn the table - choose to directly destroy the existence of the 'game', The higher the possibility of forcibly taking away the Holy Grail as the prize.

What will be the straw that breaks the camel's back?

Kong Ming thought it was the 'Magic Stone' - [Philosopher's Stone].

It is not a ‘philosopher’s stone’ as a special prop in the academic concept of alchemy.

Instead, it exists in the imaginations and impressions of countless people. It is the treasure in the minds of countless adventurers from ancient times to the present. It is praised as the omnipotent [Philosopher's Stone] - sometimes, it is also called the [Holy Grail]. 】.

Forget it, Lu Mingfei is half a bucket of mysticism.

Kong Ming and Jason, as well as the mysterious group behind the wrestling, are well aware that the Holy Grail has not yet appeared in the London Singularity, and it is unknown where it exists. One of the places where it may exist is the Noble Phantasm [Sage] in Hohenheim's hand. stone].

The competition is definitely going to happen.

Even if you know that if your side succeeds in snatching it, the Argonauts will immediately choose to turn over the table and stop playing, you still have to fight for it.

What if the Philosopher's Stone in Hohenheim is really the Holy Grail?

then.

When Hohenheim was approached by both sides, the real game of the final battle began.

The moment Chaldea obtained the [Philosopher's Stone], the Argonauts immediately chose to overturn the table.

Before that, only Kirshtalia was active among them, but the others - other gods, gods, ancient gods, demigods, and heroes were silent.

There is indeed a reason for Kirshtalia to absorb idolatry and compete with the Muses.

But if you want to say that they have done nothing for such a long time and just choose to hang up honestly - Kong Ming doesn't believe it anyway. He doesn't believe in the legendary adventurer who never gave up in the face of desperate situations countless times during his adventures. Jason, who racked his brains and struggled on, would be left there to pieces.

So.

Now that we know that the Argonauts are preparing to ‘overturn the table’, but how exactly do they want to overturn the table?

Are there any clues that can lead to their specific actions?

--have

The famous detective of the Clock Tower, El-Melloi II, the king of the modern magic department and the great military advisor of ancient China, Waver Velvet can see through the truth.

Specifically.

"No matter how powerful he is, no matter how outstanding he is, Kirshtalia is still a magician after all."

Is there anything wrong with this?

"It's very simple. Magicians are very simple beings. They have the power of secrets that can distort the world. Even the natural 'common sense' of right and wrong, apples always falling to the ground, and the sun always rising in the east and setting in the west. All can be subverted.

But precisely because of this, precisely because they can do almost omnipotent things as long as they have enough resources, so they are very simple, and they will only go straight when acting towards their goals - in the final analysis, magic After all, it is something more scientific than science. How you arrange it will definitely get the corresponding answer. If you play tricks in the middle and try to use smoke bombs to hide it in a roundabout way, it will affect the effect of the technique itself. "

"Magic cannot lie, and magic cannot lie."

"That is to say: Magicians will never go to any lengths to do useless work. Any useless disguise will greatly reduce the effect of the spell they really want to complete."

So, what exactly is the answer? What exactly are the clues?

"It's very simple, Mr. Lu. Among Kirshtalia's many actions, the most suspicious, strange, inexplicable, and puzzling one. The action that has not been followed after he did it is what he planned to use." The table-turning technique!"

The answer is already there.

"In the battle between the Argonauts and the Thousand Realm Tree Blood Alliance that withdrew from this singularity, there was nothing very abrupt. In your impression, Mr. Lu was constructed using the Kabbalah Tree of Life system from the anime "Date Big". The elves from "Combat"?"

Yes, that's the clue.

Is Kirshtalia a dead house?

Of course not, he is a real scholar and a real magician. He only gained part of his humanity due to certain childhood experiences.

A brilliant young genius once fell into a trough and was hunted down by his father's killer. He lost everything and was living in a London slum on the verge of death. However, he received the selfless help of a street child who did not know him.

Thinking about it afterwards, the other party might just follow some kind of slum rules - children should try their best to help each other and survive together.

But because of this incident, Kirshtalia gained a ‘humanity’ that would not exist in a magician’s education.

Specifically, Kirshtalia became extra 'caring about the people around her' and 'unconditionally friendly towards her companions'.

Because of his friendliness towards his companions, even if he has no interest in this area, he will try to understand the other person's preferences - such as anime, game nerds and so on.

Kirshtalia has a strong learning ability, and he can easily master this knowledge, but he only scratches the surface of this knowledge.

For example, someone in Group A of Chaldea liked rock music and even held a private concert. In order to be friendly to him, Kirshtalia went back to learn the definition of rock and roll, and also tried to have a good relationship with children. Pretend to be a grown-up by "playing jokes" or "saying rock and roll jargon" casually.

But he won't really like rock music, just as he won't really become a nerd.

"According to Creation Science's definition of magic, in fact, all culture and all stories, even popular serialized online novels or new animation works, can all be established as magic. Everything in the story can be created through magic. It can be realized in reality - but this is only theoretical, and very few people can actually do it.”

At least Kirshtalia couldn't.

Because he is not a deadbeat.

Although the beautiful elven girls constructed are very beautiful, they are just delicate bodies.

Kirshtalia couldn't truly recreate the power of "Date A Live" with magic.

What he is good at is still celestial magic, and he is still borrowing power from celestial bodies.

Even though he seemed to have shown some of the power of 'Tokisaki Kurumi' before, that's because 'Tokisaki Kurumi' also has his own corresponding celestial body in the story. Kirshtalia is still essentially drawing from the celestial body. Borrow strength.

"Magicians don't do meaningless actions. All actions are meaningful. Therefore, the magic trick used by Kirshtalia to 'turn the table' must be closely related to "Date A Live"."

The first key clue·Get

The second key clue is that when Kong Ming first came into contact with the Argonauts, he shared information about this singularity with the Argonauts as part of the cooperation deal.

Later, Medea, the magician of the Gods, also verified the reliability of this information.

What information?

That is - the entire London singularity is not the real London, but based on the London city of 1888, covered with a layer of 'fairy tale world'.

Combine these two pieces of intelligence.

When the Argonauts realize that if they compete honestly according to the competition, the conditions are overwhelmingly unfavorable to themselves and others, they will definitely choose to overturn the table, and the method of overturning the table is to repeat the "Fairy Tale World" ' operation.

——Kong Ming’s conjecture

Before the Chaldeans arrived, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had almost penetrated the London singularity. However, at the end of their decisive battle in London, they encountered some kind of variables, perhaps the work of the devil, which forced them into Desperate situation.

If not, when Chaldea and others arrive, they will not be facing some fairy tale world, but Fujimaru holding the Holy Grail, having a banquet with her companions, waiting for Chaldea to take her home. It's fragrant.

Ritsuka must have encountered some kind of desperate situation at the end of the London Singularity, so she had to resort to the "fairy tale world" method to drag the story of the London Singularity to the "endgame".

According to Haidee's description, just like Lu Mingfei collected wild heroic spirits as companions from all over France, Fujimaru Ritsuka also collected a large number of wild heroic spirits as companions in London.

But the elf Haidee didn't know her, and she didn't know most of the heroic spirits. The only celebrity she knew was Shakespeare, so she only recognized Shakespeare.

Based on the current situation, Kong Ming believes that among the wild heroic spirits in the London Singularity, there must be heroic spirits [nursery rhymes].

Shakespeare is a heroic spirit of the writer family. The ability of the heroic spirit of the writer family combined with the power of nursery rhymes created this fairy tale world to cover the original London.

Therefore, the "table overturning" method prepared by the Argonauts is to repeat what Fujimaru Ritsuka once did.

Ritsuka Fujimaru overlays a layer of Harry Potter on London.

The Argonauts' method of overturning the table is to cover this layer of "Harry Potter" with a layer of "Date Live".

Therefore, the result is the situation Lu Mingfei is facing now.

When he came back to his senses, Lu Mingfei was awakened by the lively "Wuhe Qinli" on a soft big bed. After a commotion, he now came to the kitchen in the living room, listening to Wuhe Qinli With the words "I want to eat omelette rice, I want to eat omurice rice!" I opened the refrigerator and looked at the various ingredients inside.

The skill of cooking may be regarded as a necessary skill for otaku protagonists in various animated novels nowadays, but Mr. Lu is not familiar with this aspect.

[Lu Mingfei’s ‘cooking skill level’: 1D100=99 (?)]

The original Lu Mingfei definitely didn't have this skill, nor did he have the opportunity to learn it.

However, Chu Zihang was unexpectedly good at these things. After Lu Mingfei got married to Ma Xiu in a haphazard manner, because he could not rely on Ma Xiu's cooking skills, Chu Zihang specially helped him make up lessons for a period of time.

The result could not be seen from Chu Zihang's paralyzed face.

"You shouldn't be able to kill people if you eat them, right?"

Lu Mingfei muttered, took out his mobile phone, searched "How to make omelette rice" on Google, then selected the ingredients from the refrigerator according to the recipe, and prepared to follow the tutorial.

——By the way.

Lu Mingfei has now recovered his body and is no longer borrowing the nursery rhyme body.

This change was also within the calculations of military advisor Kong Ming.

Kong Ming formulated two plans at that time, one of which was based on 'if we successfully prevent the Argonauts from overturning the table', that is, continue to compete with the Argonauts for the Holy Grail according to the rules of the fairy tale world.

Plan B is how the Argonauts will act after successfully overturning the table, as well as Kong Ming's analysis of the situation after that.

Lu Mingfei was cooking according to the recipe while recalling the words of Military Advisor Kong Ming.

"'Covering the world' does not mean 'reshaping the world.' The things that make up the world will not change. At most, they will change their positions and then overwrite the memory. Because it is the second layer of coverage, the original first layer of coverage will bring Some of the effects will be offset. Considering that you don’t take the physique of the target, after Kirshtalia succeeds, you should be able to change back to your own body.”

Of course, what is really important is what Kong Ming says next.

"The conditions for victory are still the race to find the hidden Holy Grail first. Your first goal is naturally to join up with your companions, and the Argonauts will definitely stop your action, so your companions will also be covered. A layer of 'disguise', their appearance will be covered by the appearance of the characters in "Date A Live", and their memories will be affected, and your first step is to find your companions."

"To be specific, considering that your identity was 'Harry' in the fairy tale world before, then in the world covered by Wodem, you should also be the protagonist 'Itsukawa Shido' in "Date A Live" ', By analogy, at least the heroines 'elves' in the story must be your companions, because important roles are important roles. Even if the identity of the role they play changes, their status will not change, otherwise this This misalignment will seriously affect the effect of the surgery!"

Specifically -

"In order to defeat the Argonauts, what you have to do is very simple, that is, get close to the elves, get ahead of the Argonauts, establish a good relationship with them, understand their true identities, and then let them become your strength. Fight against the Argonauts! Find the Holy Grail before they do!"

"Why does it feel like Date A Live?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but mutter, and then scratched his cheek in hindsight, "Oh no, it seems like it's really Date A Live now?"

In addition, Kong Ming also told Lu Mingfei an important piece of information.

In the original fairy tale world, Fujimaru Ritsuka hid for some reason, but it was different here.

Fujimaru Ritsuka cannot be hidden. She corresponds to the role of "Prisoner of Azkaban". After "Harry Potter" was covered by the second layer of "Date Live", the original hiding effect disappeared.

That is to say.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is somewhere.

who is it? Who is the character she ‘plays’?

Kirshtalia couldn't interfere with this, because Kirshtalia had never seen Ritsuka.

Kong Ming specifically emphasized that Lu Mingfei should go to Fujimaru Ritsuka and let Fujimaru Ritsuka continue to assist Lu Mingfei in "attacking" the elves as a strategist. Because the Argonauts know how powerful Kong Ming is, they will definitely do it when covering. Find a way to hide Kong Ming in a corner so that Lu Mingfei can't find him and can't awaken his consciousness.

It's equivalent to banning Kong Ming.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka is different. Don’t forget, Fujimaru Ritsuka arrived in Chaldea on the day of the Chaldea explosion. What does this mean?

This means that Kirshtalia neither knows nor understands Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Lu Mingfei turned over the omelette rice in the non-stick pan with a shovel, turned his head and looked at 'Kotori Itsuka' who was lying on the sofa with a lollipop in his mouth and watching some anime program.

Um? It seems like you are watching "Digimon Adventure"? This theme song is really nostalgic.

No, that's not the point.

Who is 'acting' her 'inner' in Wuhe Kotori?

Who are the other elves?
