Chapter 205 Puzzles
@Matthew
Are you alright, senior?You don’t look well,
? 1: Very sleepy.

? 2: It’s early in the morning after all.

? !
@Matthew
……yes.But early morning patrols are also essential.

@Matthew
Mordred’s actions were correct.What happened last night is likely to repeat itself.

@Matthew
Um... I don’t want to overwork Senpai either, but...

? 1: It doesn’t matter.

? 2: Don’t worry about it.

? !
@Matthew
……Um.

@mordred
Master is really inconvenient.But after all, it is only a human being, and there is no way.

@mordred
Anyway, the enemies are all worthless miscellaneous fish, even if I’m the only one

@Matthew
………Confirm the sound of the machine running.The figure can be confirmed as large!
@mordred
As soon as he finished speaking, a big fish came.Haha, it’s been a long time since I fought against the Chaos mechanical soldiers!

@Matthew
Sorry, Master!The battle is about to start, please give instructions!

$01-00-04-07-2-0
@Roman doctor
...there is some bad news.I’m so sorry, but please hear me out.Actually around here.

@Roman doctor
Ah, have you heard that?Um.Anyway, that’s how it happened.

@mordred
Alright, no matter how many people come, I can beat you to pieces!Not bad for cutting through thick steel armor!
@Matthew
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Master...!To continue fighting.Please give instructions.

$01-00-04-07-3-0
@mordred
...even I feel a little tired.

@mordred
Time to go back to Jekyll’s apartment.Although a servant doesn’t need sleep, I also want to restore my magic power.

@Roman doctor
Ah...that, although it’s hard to say...

@mordred
……I know.I know, so there is no need to say it.I’ve already felt it.There are so many.

@Matthew
...It is the sound of mechanical operation.Large, and there are a lot of them!It is predicted that the size of the enemy will continue to expand!

@mordred
Since there are so many people coming, why not go near Hyde Park!There I can use the treasure to burn you into black coals!

@Matthew
Please bear with me.Using large-scale firepower in urban areas is dangerous!

@mordred
I’ll keep an eye on it when I use it!Will try to pay attention!

? 1: Come on!

@Matthew
it is good!
? 2: It’s getting more and more sassy!

@Matthew
Former...senior?
? !
@mordred
The enemy killed a general, and they started to get serious!Ok, look I’ve got you all cleaned up!
$01-00-04-07-3-1
@jekyll

……I see.It happened.

@jekyll

Anyway, thank you for your hard work.This trip is not easy.You guys have a good rest first.

@mordred
Ah... come alive... ha ah...

@jekyll

You’re taking my special sofa again...forget it...um.You have been working hard these days.

? 1: I’m tired.

? 2: Exhausted.

? !
@Matthew
Senior, don’t force yourself, please rest well. .I will also pay attention to the health of seniors in the future.

@Roman doctor
Huh, isn’t that my job...?
@Roman doctor
Ahhhmm.Yes.It’s better to be taken care of by the people around you...

@jekyll

But it turned out to be like this.I thought that the chaos mechanical soldiers could not be mass-produced, but I didn’t expect the situation to develop like this.

@jekyll

I’m afraid it’s because you defeated one of the three leaders of the ’Magic Mist Project’, the magician ’P’, also known as Paracelsus.

@jekyll

The enemy sees you as a threat, and strengthens their combat power in order to more safely snatch the Heroic Spirits who have manifested.

@jekyll

That’s probably what happened.But what kind of heroic spirit do they want...

@mordred
have no idea.It’s your job to use your brain.I’m tired.

@mordred
……correct.Speaking of using the brain, isn’t there a rice bug here that is useless except for using the brain?And there are two more.

@mordred
Jekyll, what are they doing?Are you still in the study next door?

@Andersen

calls me?

@shakespeare
Are you calling me! ?
@mordred
…………well.I’m so sorry.It will allow you to open the holy cabinet.

@shakespeare
Holy cabinet?Is the holy ark referring to the [#论坛:Ark]?Hahaha, really ruthless, this is too exaggerated!

@shakespeare
We really pride ourselves on being a box of surprises that, once we open our mouths, pour out a torrent of gorgeous rhetoric,

@shakespeare
But it still couldn’t compare to that cabinet of disaster!In other words, that kind of cabinet doesn’t exist at all.

@Andersen

Well, that kind of thing doesn’t exist.Existence is not bad.After all, that use makes no sense.

@Andersen

There is no more disappointing story than opening the world and destroying it or something.If you want to die, die alone.

@Matthew
…………That, senior.

? 1: ...Let’s keep the ark of the covenant a secret from them.

@Matthew
……yes.Although the two of them said so, no matter how they looked at it, they were very interested in the Ark of the Covenant.

@Matthew
It’s better to hide it from them for now.

? 2: No, the Ark does exist.I know.

@Andersen & Shakespeare
real or fake! ?
@shakespeare
Well.Oops, I’m sorry, I was influenced by Andersen and accidentally shouted a little louder.

@shakespeare
Let’s not talk about this for now, Lord Mewmew.We are very interested in the topic just now! !
@shakespeare
Okay, let’s talk about when and where you saw the Ark of the Covenant!Also, who opened it when and for what reason!

@shakespeare
Specifically, what a funny, sad, and tragic ending full of comedy elements that person met! ? !?
@Andersen

……Hmmm (← Listen calmly.)
@Andersen

………Hmmm (←Silently start preparing black tea.)
@Andersen

………Hmmm(←I’m spreading jam on scones.)
@mordred
...You idiot, you stepped on the cat’s tail.I don’t care anymore.

@mordred
Meow meow, Matthew.Go to the study and tell them until they are satisfied.

@Matthew
isn’t it...

@jekyll

Thanks for your hard work.Forget it, consider this a break, shall we?

@mordred
ha.How could I take a nap in front of the goose pond?Look at Miaomiao’s frightened expression.

? !
@Andersen

By the way, I forgot to mention.about what we’re doing.

@Andersen

While the playwright had been writing about the event, I was different.I try not to work as much as possible.

@Andersen

But there is one thing that bothers me.Miaomiao told me about your experience so far... about the seven singularities.

@Andersen

...No, to be correct, I am the one who has doubts about the magic ritual of the Holy Grail War...

@Andersen

... Now due to insufficient data, no conclusion can be drawn.To be honest, I’m hitting a bottleneck.

@mordred
……snort.You can also do some things that magicians should do.Although he is still a useless guy.

@Roman doctor
Ah, sorry.Can I get back to the topic?I would like to confirm the current situation and talk about the future policy.

@Roman doctor
Fortunately, the enemy can only sense this through the magic fog.If they were going to annihilate us, they would have started destroying buildings long ago.

@Roman doctor
Failure to do so meant that the enemy could only recognize the streets within the reach of the magic fog.

@Roman doctor
There must be an opportunity here
@jekyll

...is there a chance?
@Roman doctor
If only there were.Umm... Is there... It would be nice if I had... It would be great...

@mordred
Too troublesome, think of a way.In the future, it will not be possible to spend a long time outside as before.

@mordred
Wandering around aimlessly will just waste our mana uselessly in every battle.

@mordred
As long as the Chaos Mechanical Soldier can lose their fighting ability, the rest should not be a problem...

@jekyll

The problem is that it can’t be done.I have such a headache and I am completely helpless.

@Fran
... um... um, um...

@Andersen

Well, how about this?

@Andersen

Although there are still a large number of chaotic mechanical soldiers outside, I hope you can help collect data to verify my inference.

@Andersen

In short, it is the task of running errands.For those of you who are physically strong, this little work shouldn’t be a problem, right?
@Roman doctor
However, it should be very difficult to avoid so many Chaos Mechanical Soldiers operating outdoors...

? 1: Try it out.

? 2: We will assist Andersen and the others.

? !
@Matthew
Okay, senior.Although this will not solve the current situation

@Matthew
But even if they stay in this apartment, things won’t get any better.

@fufu
Fu!
@Roman doctor
Also, if there is something that can be done, it is constructive to do it first.

@Roman doctor
But if you want to collect data, where should you go to collect it?

@fufu
Chirp, Fu...

@Andersen

Hello, is this London?Do you need to say where you are going?

? 1: Has it been confirmed?
@Roman doctor
Um, where is it?
@jekyll

It refers to the place commonly known as the ’Clock Tower’ by the Magic Association.

? 2: Magic Association?

@Andersen

That’s right.After the first year of the Gregorian calendar, the huge Academy Magic Association, which can be called the activity center of magicians, is also known as the clock tower.

? !
@Roman doctor
what! ! !
@Andersen

right.A huge institution dedicated to the mysteries of the world is located in London.How can we not make good use of it?
@Roman doctor
Indeed...but...but, London is in such a miserable state, and the Association doesn’t know what to do.

@Roman doctor
If the clock tower of the Magic Association is still alive, it will definitely keep in touch with Jekyll.

@Matthew
Yes.Yet Mr. Jekyll made no mention of the Clock Tower.

@jekyll

...Because there is no need to mention it.

@mordred
The Magic Association is that.The one under ground between Regent’s Park and Westminster?
@mordred
The first thing I did after I came out and met [#Jekyll: this guy] was to check out what was going on over there.

@mordred
It’s called the British Museum.I heard there was an entrance there, so I went to have a look.

@mordred
The entrance was completely blocked, and it was completely reduced to ruins full of rubble.

@jekyll

Yes, very rarely, the [#buildings there were damaged].And it was utterly destroyed.

@jekyll

Thinking about it now, maybe the masterminds of the ’Magic Fog Project’ destroyed the place in order to stifle the possibility of resistance
@Andersen

It doesn’t matter whether it is destroyed or not, even if it turns into rubble.

@Andersen

It would be great if the mages survived, but even if they die, it won’t affect my purpose.

@Andersen

What I need are records, data.

@Andersen

Important databases must be firmly sealed and carefully preserved.take me there.

@fufu
Chirp... Fu...

@shakespeare
Then my generation will go with me too.The ruins of the mysterious academy will surely become a source of inspiration!

@Roman doctor
It seems that many people have acted together. ...no, wait?
@Roman doctor
If you encounter Chaos Mechanical Soldiers, the more combat power the better.Well, it does.

@Fran
... um... um...? ?

? 1: It would be better for Fran to stay here.

? 2: It’s dangerous, so Fran kept it as a housekeeper.

? !
@Matthew
Um.London is especially dangerous right now.Miss Fran, please stay here.

@Fran
... um, um...

@Andersen

Then let’s go.Go visit that once gorgeous and mysterious school.

@Andersen

Ah, by the way, swordsman.Be sure to protect us weak magicians.

@mordred
ah?Protect?Say this to that shield-playing guy.

@Matthew
ah, hey... uh
@jekyll

OK, I’ll go too!Set off!

@mordred
ha?
@Matthew
Hey?
@mordred
...I say you.There are a lot of people here this time, but you are not a combat power at all.

@jekyll

This is going to explore the old site of the Magic Association, right?As a scholar, how can my thirst for knowledge not be around the corner.

@jekyll

And don’t look at me like this, it’s still very reliable at critical moments.After all, I still have [#killer mace].

@jekyll

And you will definitely protect me, right?I’m counting on you, swordsman.

@mordred
I have already said that I will not protect anyone.Whatever you want, really.

@Roman doctor
Okay, everyone, let’s go.The British Museum should be in the Regent’s Park area.

@Roman doctor
It’s a long way from here.You have to be prepared for a protracted war.

@Roman doctor
Um?So to say
@Roman doctor
Isn’t the Magic Association an organization composed of several academic cities located on the outskirts of London?
@jekyll

That’s two different things.

@jekyll

The London headquarters is the birthplace of the association.After hundreds of years, the scale has grown day by day, and the facilities have been improved day by day.

@jekyll

Then came the academic cities located in various places centered on London.In other words, the Magic Association Clock Tower is centered in London,

@jekyll

Consists of multiple cities built around London.

@jekyll

Doctor, haven’t you been to the Clock Tower?

@Andersen

Why, I always thought you were rustic, so you are really a bumpkin?

@Roman doctor
Woo.No... no.

@Roman doctor
It should be said that I have nothing to do with London, and London is too far away...

@Roman doctor
But...but I am well aware of the situation in London!Isn’t Director Mary also dispatched by the Magic Association?
@mordred
Without further ado.Hurry up, someone is making trouble before you finish talking.

@Matthew
Confirm the sound of multiple machines running!Senior, it should be the Chaos Mechanical Soldier that appeared!

@fufu
Fu, fu woo!

@Roman doctor
Show up so soon.Get out first, everyone, and get to Regent’s Park as soon as possible!

? 1: Got it.

? 2: Deus Ex!
? !
@Matthew
Yes, Master!

$01-00-04-08-2-0
@shakespeare
The British Museum, one of the symbols of the British Empire!its remains
@shakespeare
Alas!What a bleak sight it was.A large museum that once housed countless rare treasures in human history would be reduced to such a situation.

@shakespeare
Our generation lamented endlessly.The progress of the world and mankind was once stored here.

@shakespeare
How can such behavior be condoned!Alas!This is exactly the same atrocity that burned the library of Alexandria!
@shakespeare
It’s really... heartbreaking

@shakespeare
But, but.This is what humans do too.

@shakespeare
Such ignorance and misery are undoubtedly the true nature of human beings. [#God gave us flaws to make us human. :You gods, will give us. Some faults to make us men.].

@mordred
...there is no change from the last time I came here.Only rubble, ruins remained.

@mordred
The person who destroyed this place probably had some personal grievances, and there was not even a single survivor.

@Matthew
Here are the remains of... the British Museum.I have only admired its majesty in the image data...

@Matthew
This is the only place in London where few buildings have been destroyed...

? 1: It’s too terrible to look at.

? 2: I just can’t like ruins.

? !
@Matthew
Well, senior... yes...

@Andersen

That manual labor group.Ah... especially Swordsman and Mash Kyrielight.

@Matthew
Yes.

@mordred
what?
@Andersen

Dig around here.According to Jekyll’s, the clock tower’s reach should extend underground.

@Andersen

No matter how badly damaged the surrounding area is, the ground is still intact as we can see.In this case, our target is the underground space.

@Andersen

But unfortunately the steps were buried by rubble.That being the case, you say yes.

@Andersen

It’s time to put the brute force of your servants to work!Come on, dig like a bulldozer like crazy!

@shakespeare
Indeed...!But sadly, we consume a lot of mana just by picking up something heavier than a pen.

@fufu
Fu…………

@mordred
…………

@jekyll

I... I’ll help too.Um.Although it might not be of much help.

@Roman doctor
It worked!This time I was faster!Magical reactions have appeared near you, and there are many of them!

@mordred
Hmm... there seems to be something there.what is it?

@Roman doctor
Can’t see anything in your line of sight?But they do exist, and they’re moving fast,
@Roman doctor
It wasn’t caused by the magic dress scattered in the ruins.So there is only one answer!
@jekyll

It came from underground! ?Swordsman, sorry, please be vigilant

@mordred
Don’t act like a master!I understand that as long as they dare to show up, I will never show mercy!
@Matthew
Master, there are multiple enemies!The magic power response is increasing. It is speculated that the opponent has entered an attacking posture!

? 1: Go to war!
? 2: Be careful!
? !
@Matthew
Yes, Master.start fighting!
@shakespeare
Let me help you this time too.The Shield Maiden dancing among the rubble really captured my imagination!
$01-00-04-08-2-1
@Matthew
The battle is over, seniors.You have worked hard.

@Roman doctor
There should be no chaos mechanical soldiers around here, but some tricky things have emerged...

? 1: That look...

? 2: The form looks familiar.

? !
@Matthew
Yes, senior.The enemy form is very similar to the Grimoire we encountered in Soho.

@Matthew
But unlike last time, this time our attack worked.And there is no need for Mr. Andersen to name it,

@Matthew
It can be dealt with only by ordinary attacks.And its shape hasn’t changed at all...

@mordred
When I was here last time, I had never seen that kind of book floating around.

@jekyll

listen.Although this is just my guess, it may be the existence of some kind of magic book.

@jekyll

It may be something that was treasured in the Underground Magic Association, and it became that way under the influence of the magic fog.

@Roman doctor
(Ah... I thought so too, but he said it first...)
@Andersen

...will the books attack us in droves...

@shakespeare
...What a nightmare, or rather a vision of being in hell.

@Andersen

Stop talking stupid things.What’s the big deal with that stuff...

@Andersen

…………

@shakespeare
………………

@mordred
Haha, two writers, what’s the matter with you?Why don’t you chatter like before?
@Andersen

...I’m just enduring it.No, I gave up.give up!Ah, so refreshed!I have never felt so comfortable!
@mordred
Um? ?

@shakespeare
Burn books!That is the most unreasonable behavior in the world!Ah, how pathetic... But there is a tinge of pleasure in it!
@shakespeare
It is a heinous crime, an unforgivable violence!There should be nothing but endless sorrow
@shakespeare
But at this moment, we really felt a bit of sweet pleasure produced by violating morality!Oh God!

@Andersen

It doesn’t matter if all the works of other authors besides mine disappear.Ah, to go further, I hope my writings will be burned too!
@Andersen

If there are no books in the world!I don’t have to regret that I can’t finish reading many classics in my lifetime!

@Andersen

If there are no books in the world!I don’t have to be indignant that some scumbags are simply deceptive!

@Andersen

If there are no books in the world!I don’t have to be pushed by deadlines!

@shakespeare
How honest this gentleman is...!Wow, however, your words touched me deeply!

@fufu
Fu, fuu...

@mordred
This... what’s going on with these two guys...

@jekyll

It looks so powerful... Really powerful...

? 1: Writers are really twisted people.

? 2: Writers are such contradictory creatures...

? !
@Matthew
Anyway... anyway, senior.At least we have a clear direction for the future.

@Matthew
Coincidentally, when [#书:book]-type enemies appear, the entrance to the underground floor also forms

@Roman doctor
right.After the two writers’ heroic spirits calm down, let’s rush into the underground!
@Roman doctor
It’s really exciting.Speaking of which, it can be said that this is the headquarters of the Magic Association.

@Roman doctor
What will it be like underground?Ah, I really want to go to the scene and see for myself.

@mordred
Then you come over too.Don’t just keep talking.

@Roman doctor
I... Me, that... Think about it... I’m still in charge of observing, maintaining Chaldea, etc., I’m very busy...

@Roman doctor
OK... OK!I will continue to observe carefully!
@fufu
Fuwu, Jiujiu...

$01-00-04-08-3-0
@jekyll

 ……… It’s like endless [#猫空:Dungeon] here.

@Andersen

It’s so dark.

@shakespeare
It is true.Also, the air was odiously humid.

@mordred
Most of the residences of magicians are like this.Isn’t it customary for them to like dark and damp places?

@Matthew
Is that right?

@fufu
Chirp, chirp!Fu Woo! !

@mordred
You see, the little animals also agree with me.It’s saying ”it fits the magician here”, right?
@fufu
Tweet!
@Matthew
Fufu?Why do you look so excited...

? 1: Did you feel something?
@fufu
Chirp… Chirp…

? 2: It seems to agree with Mordred very much.

@fufu
Chirp, chirp!Chirp!

@Matthew
That’s right.Fufu seems to be very close to Mordred.

@fufu
Fuwu...

? !
@Roman doctor
The reason why the dark corridor is endless is helpless. After all, we can only choose the path that is not blocked by rubble.

@Roman doctor
All the entrances to the rooms have either collapsed or been buried in rubble...

@Roman doctor
I always feel that these damage methods are a bit carefully planned.And indeed I didn’t see any surviving magicians.

@Roman doctor
If my guess is correct, the enemy should have sent combat power inside.and
@mordred
Maybe they’re still here now?You seem to be right.

@fufu
Fu!
@Matthew
Magic reaction detected!Senior, there is something around the corner ahead!
? 1: Start the battle!
? 2: This is a closed space, be careful!
? !
@Matthew
Understood, Master!

@Andersen

oops.Let me make an exception this time to help you.It’s really just an exception.

$01-00-04-08-4-0
@jekyll

Mr. Andersen, this door is
@Andersen

I can feel the magic.That’s right, this is the entrance to the library protected by magic.

@Andersen

It was not blocked by rubble.What a blessing.It would be nice if I could find the information I need, but that’s a matter of luck.

@Andersen

Swordsman, Mash Kyrielight.And meow.

@Andersen

Jekyll and I went inside to find information, you guard the door.

? 1: Got it.

? 2: Leave it to us!

? !
@Matthew
Yes, senior.

@mordred
Go and go back.who knows when the enemy will
@mordred
Yo, it came so fast.There are not only flying books, but also chaotic mechanical soldiers.

@Roman doctor
Multiple moving objects detected and reacted!Love... the situation is not very optimistic!

@Roman doctor
Enemies are coming in batches, and the exact number cannot be confirmed!Andersen, run away as soon as you find the information you want!
@Andersen

Ah... this is difficult, it’s really nerve-wracking.

@jekyll

This... is really nerve-wracking... I see, this method is used to protect the magic book...

@mordred
What?Don’t hold back, just make it clear!

@jekyll

A special and powerful magic has been applied to the collection of books, and the books cannot be taken out of this room!Can’t get through the door at all!

@Andersen

Luckily, I’ve found some stuff I’m looking for, but, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@Andersen

…[#您您您您您您您先我读件].

@mordred
Aha! ?
@shakespeare
On one side, immerse yourself in the sea of ​​knowledge deep in the Secret Garden!One party will defend the entrance to the death in the face of countless powerful enemies!
@shakespeare
One side is a battle of wits!One side is a battle of force!
@shakespeare
The [# SITUATION:plot] in front of me is so... so exciting! !

@shakespeare
Ah, which side shall we follow!Which side’s heroic appearance should be branded in the eyes and recorded as a book!

@mordred
You are enough, come and fight!The enemy is coming!

@Matthew
...... Start the defensive battle!Master, please instruct!
$01-00-04-08-5-0
@mordred
Basically wiped out, no, it’s coming again...!
@Roman doctor
There will be more and more!As far as the terrain is concerned, our side is quite unfavorable in this battle!
@Roman doctor
The enemies will attack endlessly!In contrast, we can only stick to this place!
@Matthew
Regardless of the status quo, it is dangerous to fight a protracted war.Master!
? 1: Can’t retreat yet!

? 2: Hold on for a while!

? !
@Matthew
...I understand, Master.Continue fighting!
@Andersen

Please hold on for a while, meow!Now I’m seeing the key.If we retreat now, all previous efforts will be in vain.

@shakespeare
Outnumbered!The current [#situation:drama] is what is called a just war, however

@shakespeare
I have to admit that the number of enemies is really too much.My magic power is about to run out.Actually exhausted.

@mordred
what

@jekyll

...Ah, really, there is no other way.I would have tried to avoid doing that.

@mordred
ah?Hey, Jekyll, why are you running into the hallway!

@mordred
What’s the use of a half-baked magician, hurry back to the library!
@jekyll

As I said before, I have a killer trick.

@fufu
Fu? ?

@Matthew
Mr Jekyll, you

@jekyll

That is the panacea.And it’s [#special].Inject this medicine into the body like this... like this...

@Roman doctor
What... what’s going on! ?Suddenly there is a wonderful magical reaction in your place! ?
@fufu
Fufu! !Chirp!

Hee hee hee, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!Long time no show!Lao Tzu makes his debut! !
