849 The Princess Is Coming, Is It Real or an Illusion?
Whether as a human or as a heroic spirit, Arturia is a relatively special existence.
In the history, she died in the battle of Jianlan. When Bedivere threw the king's sword into the holy lake, she passed away forever, but this is only a half-true history. In fact, before her dying, A Reyer pulled her out of the timeline, leaving her to become a Heroic Spirit with her last breath.
Being a Heroic Spirit as a human being, but still alive despite being a Heroic Spirit... This is the essence of Artoria.
Therefore, Artoria has the concept of death in history.
The difficulty for Lin Luo lies in how to deduce this half-truth and half-false history.
Method 1: According to the progress of history, when Arturia fell in the Battle of Jianlan, let Alaya pull her out of the timeline, so that the world line will not change, but... Originally, the first Artoria did not know Lin Luo during the four Holy Grail Wars, but now she will not forget Lin Luo even if she becomes a heroic spirit. The cause and effect of the two do not match. change.
Of course, at such a time, it may be possible to use the method of sealing memory to clear part of Artoria's memory and make her forget Lin Luo, but... she is not an ordinary person, she is a host, an existence beyond the timeline , even if her own power is not strong, but no one can interfere with her existence, and no one can tamper with her memory, taking it for granted that she is just seeking her own death.
And most importantly, can the host become a heroic spirit?
The answer is obviously no. If the host could become a heroic spirit, Lin Luo would have signed a heroic spirit contract with Li Huazuo to give her stronger abilities. You must know that the heroic spirit is just a thug in a world, and the host is a super-high existence that exists in "everything". How can mere restraint force restrain the host?
Then, it seems that there is no point in tampering with Artoria.
Of course, there is a second method here, which is to find a third person to replace Artoria as King Arthur, let that person "die" as King Arthur, and leave the timeline as King Arthur to become a heroic spirit. Having said that, King Arthur must die, not that Artoria must die, but... Even if that person could play King Arthur as realistically as possible, he would definitely not be able to play Saber in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
Because that saber can only be Artoria!
Therefore, this method is also not feasible.
Arturia must become a heroic spirit, and King Arthur must die in history, but it is impossible for a living Arturia to become a heroic spirit, and I cannot let Artoria really die... The problem Lin Luo is facing now is Such a dead end.
In fact, it is very simple for him to save Artoria. Anyway, the two major restraining forces will not interfere with him. He only needs to do a little trick in the battle of Jianlan. He may not be able to prevent the war from happening, but protecting a person is. It is absolutely possible. The difficulty is that while keeping Arturia, the world line must also be kept. This is the key, and it is also his unshirkable responsibility.
Originally, Lin Luo had been stuck in this dead end and couldn't get out, but Fujibayashi Xing's words gave him a glimmer of hope. Although the glimmer of hope was still very weak, it had already given him a direction to act.
Alaya said that the world line up to that change point has not changed so far, but when Lin Luo came to this world, he can be regarded as a traverser, and he has done so many things. Theoretically speaking, the world line should At least there will be slight changes, but now it remains the same, so in other words...the things he did are all in line with the original history!
His appearance in this era was not accidental, but inevitable. It was precisely because he existed in this era that he was able to move the world line towards that point of change!
"So, this is something that only I can do!" Thinking of this, Lin Luo is already full of motivation and has a general direction. The only thing he lacks now is the strength, which is what Alaya said. . Although he didn't know what it was, he had a hint of it.
However, getting Gaia and Alaya to help is probably not a small problem.
Lin Luo felt uneasy. With the nature of the two major restraining forces, they would not help others for no reason, and it would be whimsical to want them to help others on a whim. Whether Gaia took the initiative to receive him this time, or Alaya told him the knowledge of restraint, it was fundamentally for their own consideration, because if he did too much here, the timeline would change. If it becomes chaotic, Gaia and Alaya will face huge troubles, and because of the relationship of restraint, it is not easy for them to take action against him, so they can only inform in advance.
Of course, if Lin Luo doesn't listen to the advice and acts recklessly here, they won't just sit idly by.
All three of them knew this very well, so there was no need to say it out loud.
There is also a reason why Lin Luo asked Gaia and Alaya for help.
After a while, when he came to the main hall we were talking about, Lin Luo was surprised to find that the place had undergone earth-shaking changes. It was no longer empty, but full of various decorations, including modern electrical equipment and ancient pavilions. The towers and pavilions look nondescript, but they just make people not feel a sense of disobedience.
When talking with Gaia and the others before, although Lin Luo knew that the palace was very big, but because it was too empty, he could see the edge at a glance, but at this moment, countless decorations have been added, not only does it not look crowded, but it makes it more crowded. People feel that the palace has become even bigger, like a department store.
Lin Luo wandered here for a long time, and finally found Gaia in a room full of colorful clothes. He saw that this loli kept taking out clothes from the fitting rack next to her and putting them on herself. Turn around in the mirror in front of you, laugh if you think it looks good, and take it off and change to another set if you don’t think it looks good.
Lin Luo was quite ashamed. From the time he saw Gaia to approaching her, Gaia had already changed at least five sets of clothes, and what was outrageous was... Gaia did not have common sense of human beings, even though she was transformed into a human form , but she is also not interested in understanding human knowledge, so when she changes clothes, she always changes from head to toe, and she doesn't worry about whether others will see her [***].
Lin Luo's eyes are very good, but Gaia's back is facing him, so he can only see one back, but he doesn't feel regretful, after all, it's not like he hasn't seen the [***] of a twelve-year-old little loli , even if different people have not much difference in body shape. And he is past the age of loli control, and now he is more concerned with married women and mature women, so he walked up directly and interrupted Gaia's changing clothes without hesitation, "How did this place become like this? ?”
"Of course I did it." Gaia said without looking back. As a restraint, she could certainly feel Lin Luo's arrival, but she also didn't care about her body being looked at. Wearing a dress and gesturing on himself, he turned around and asked Lin Luo, "What do you think of this one?"
"Not bad...uh!" Lin Luo said casually, but before he finished speaking, his eyes were almost blinded, because Gaia took off all his clothes in front of him, and then Put on the new dress again.
At this distance, Lin Luo can see clearly even if his eyesight is bad.
"What's wrong with you? Your eyes are so wide, don't you look good?" Seeing Lin Luo's dumbfounded look, Gaia, who had just changed her clothes, couldn't help asking, thinking that her clothes didn't look good.
"...No, it's very good-looking, and it suits you very well." Lin Luo rubbed his eyes, feeling a little weak. Of course, Gaia's [***] would not blind people, but it should be said to be too shiny.
"I also think it's good. Although human beings are not very good, they are so fragile but so tenacious. I hate them like cockroaches. However, human brains are quite easy to use, and they can make so many interesting things." Gai Ya suddenly turned around while speaking, and said with a coquettish smile, "Haha, look, isn't this beautiful? I'm gradually liking this form."
"Yeah, it's really beautiful." Lin Luo smiled slightly, looking at Gaia who was circling in circles, he suddenly had an illusion, as if this girl was not the restraining force who only thought about herself, but just a An ordinary little sister next door.
Of course, this is just an illusion after all, passing in a flash.
After a while, Gaia had already stopped from the rotation, no longer picking out clothes, and looked at Lin Luo, "Did you come to see me for something?"
"Well, there is one thing that needs your help." Lin Luo straightened his face and said in a deep voice.
"Hmph..." Gaia squeezed her chin, her gaze stayed on Lin Luo's face, and an inexplicable smile flashed across her mouth, "It seems to be about the world line, Alaya has already mentioned it to you Ah, but this is not a trivial matter... Forget it, let's go to the coffee shop over there first, there will be guests coming later."
"Guests?" Lin Luo was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that there would be guests other than himself in Gaia's palace, so he asked reflexively, but he didn't get an answer, because Gaia had already run away with a smile up.
Lin Luo had no choice but to follow behind Gaia, but he was thinking about who the guest was.
"Look, here it is, very good."
When he came to Gaia's unmanned automatic coffee shop, Lin Luo sat down under her kind greeting, with a cup of Gaia brand coffee in front of him. At the same time, he heard footsteps not far away.
Looking subconsciously, Lin Luoteng jumped up from his seat, almost spilling the coffee.
"Erquite?!"
Lin Luo was shocked to find that Gaia's guest turned out to be the white vampire princess Alquite!
