Chapter 223 The Encounter of Three Demons
【Travel completed】
[Current World: Fate/Zero]
The light and shadow in Ke Ling's eyes changed, and a new world unfolded before his eyes.
"Full, full, full, full, over and over again, four times, uh... or five times?"
Before Ke Ling had time to look around, the sweet smell of blood rushed straight into his nose, and the voice of a sunny boy sounded.
"That...was abandoned when it was full, right?"
The sunshine boy's voice recited strange spells, but he was stumbling and seemed to be unskilled in the use of these spells.
"The following is a follow-up report on the serial murders in Fuyuki City. At the scenes of the three murders that have occurred so far, patterns of suspected magic circles carved with the blood of the victims were left."
The news was playing on the TV, and Ke Ling heard it clearly. This is Fuyuki City, and the world is called "Fate/Zero". He has arrived at the time when the Fourth Holy Grail War took place.
Ke Ling was now in a dark room, and the source of the sound was in another room. He opened the door and came to the corridor. There was light outside and it was daytime.
The door to the living room was closed, the curtains were drawn, and the TV inside was on, playing the news. Ke Ling manipulated his shadow into it, and then in a flash, he had arrived in the corner of the room.
"Hello! Ryunosuke Uyu is a devil!"
The voice full of sunshine and youthful feeling was still chattering non-stop, without noticing the existence of Ke Ling in the corner. Ke Ling restrained his breath, turned on the optical camouflage, and hid in the darkness. Naturally, it was not something Ryunosuke Ubui could detect.
Ke Ling's eyes fell on that person, a young man with orange hair and wearing a purple shirt and jacket.
At the young man's feet, a little boy was tied up. He was talking to the little boy, and on the ground, a magic circle carved with blood was blooming.
"What is this?"
Ryūnosuke Yusei raised his hand, and the back of his right hand felt a stab of pain, and a strange scarlet symbol slowly appeared.
"Buzz!"
A violent wave of magic rose, the magic array lit up with dazzling light, and a figure appeared in the smoke.
With cheeks that are as smooth as marine creatures and a pair of large eyes that move flexibly, the creature in the magic circle has a very attractive face. It looks like a dark wizard who studies black magic, and it is also attracted by those black people. Soaked in magic.
This weirdo's slender body was wearing a large robe, which was decorated with a large number of luxurious precious metal jewelry. The collar of the robe looked like an octopus with its teeth and claws.
"I ask you, who are you, the summoner who called me, pursued me, and brought me to the world as a Caster?"
The dark wizard asked, his voice low and hoarse, quite dignified.
This scene naturally shocked Ryuunosuke Ubu. He obviously didn't expect that he could actually summon a demon using the magic book he found in his home warehouse!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I met the Caster duo who are perfect for each other. It seems that this trip will not be boring."
Ke Ling witnessed everything from the side, with excitement in his eyes. The Holy Grail War summoned heroic spirits and summoned the strongest men in history to fight. This is simply an infinite monster spawner!
If there were no restrictions and could be summoned all the time, then there would be no need to worry about finding a strong person to fight. There were too many heroic spirits in history.
Of course, heroic spirits are powerful and have various abilities. This is the setting of this world. It may not be easy to use in other worlds, but it still does not affect Ke Ling's interest in this technology. He summons heroic spirits to practice in this world. Level is not impossible.
However, one thing to note is that this gameplay may attract the attention of some special beings. Ke Ling knows that there are two very special beings in this world, Alaya and Gaia.
These are two collective subconscious minds. Gaia is the representative of the will of the planet itself, and Alaya is the representative of the will of the primates living on the planet. The fundamental pursuit of both is "survival."
Gaia is the representative of the planet's desire to survive, and Alaya is the representative of the primates' desire to survive. As humans continue to develop, the two are becoming more and more conflicting.
The heroic spirits, the heroic spirits located on the Heroic Spirit Seat, and the spirits with powerful power are the thugs of the two, also known as the inhibitory force.
Elves, true ancestors, ghosts, mixed-blood families, monsters of Gaia, heroic spirits with higher divinity, those who don’t care about the survival of human beings and even feed on humans belong to Gaia’s forces, superpowers, exorcist families, divinity The lower heroic spirits, those who protect humans and kill monsters, belong to the Alaya forces.
Of course, Gaia and Alaya are a bit like God's will in the dark. These groups may not know that they are affected by the suppression force, and what they do is only for their own survival.
Ke Ling thought that his identity here might be classified as Gaia Fang. After all, he is a non-human creature, and humans are an important part of the diet.
However, Ke Ling himself will not destroy mankind, and may even save mankind. This seems to be on Alaya's side.
"Never mind it, the soldiers will cover it up anyway. If the suppressive thugs come, I won't have to find anyone to fight."
Ke Ling is very open-minded. He opened up a new world just to become stronger. Someone coming to fight is just what he wants. For example, he could have killed Ryunosuke Uesugi before the summoning ceremony was completed, but why did he do that?
Ryunosuke Uesugi is just an ordinary person with a little magician blood. He may not be able to provide any experience points.
But Caster Gil de Ray may be able to give a lot of experience. After all, although this guy has a bad affinity with Caster, the "Luoyan City Textbook" in his hand provides him with powerful combat power. This is a summoning Caster.
Magic is the power system of this world. In fact, it is magic, but it has different names in this world. "Magic" is the level that modern technology can reach, while "magic" is the level that modern technology cannot reach.
For example, the magic of making fire was magic before fire appeared, and when humans learned to make fire, it was downgraded to magic. A large number of magic became magic with the development of the times.
"I'm Ryunosuke Uesugi, a freelancer. My hobby is all kinds of killing. I like children and young women."
In the living room, Ryunosuke Uesugi introduced himself to Gilles de Res. What he said about liking children and young women was obviously not "liking" but liking to hunt children and young women. There was a reason why this guy could summon Gilles de Res. The two people's compatibility was really good.
Gilles de Res, a French nobleman in the 15th century, once fought with Joan of Arc, a French marshal, a national hero. After Joan of Arc was executed, he fell into a black wizard, kidnapped teenagers in the territory, cruelly humiliated and killed them, and was the main prototype of the fairy tale villain "Bluebeard".
Gilles de Res also likes children, and Ryunosuke Uesugi also likes children. The two have common hobbies and can naturally chat.
"Very good, the contract is signed, let us fight for the Holy Grail we seek."
As a heroic spirit summoned by the Holy Grail, Gilles de Res naturally has a wish to be realized. The Holy Grail War is to compete for the opportunity to make a wish to the Holy Grail.
"Holy Grail? Forget it, let's exchange feelings first. Hey, do you want to eat it?"
Ryunosuke Uzumaki is just a sunny boy who likes art, not a magician, and has no idea about the Holy Grail.
Ryunosuke Uzumaki pointed to the little boy who was tied up on the side and asked Gilles de Ray very familiarly. That was the small gift he prepared for the summoned demon.
Gilles de Ray looked at Ryunosuke Uzumaki, and then at the little boy. He was a little confused about the word "eat", but he understood very well what Ryunosuke Uzumaki meant by the gift he gave him.
Gilles de Ray has an inherent skill of "mental pollution" with a level of A. This inherent skill can block magic of the mental interference system with a high probability, but if others do not have the same level of mental pollution, they cannot communicate with him.
This is also one of the reasons why Ryunosuke Uzumaki and Gilles de Ray have a good relationship. The sunny boy Ryunosuke Uzumaki is not mentally normal. This guy is also a kind of born evil. There is no reason for killing people. He just likes it. He regards human death as the most beautiful and magnificent art in the world.
The little boy struggled in fear. This experience was obviously too much of a blow to his young mind.
"You two, what's the point of bullying a child? How about we fight? It's a coincidence that I'm also a demon."
Ke Ling appeared and stepped out from the shadows. His sudden appearance obviously surprised Caster Gil de Ray and Uzumaki Ryunosuke. The master and servant didn't notice Ke Ling's existence at all.
"Who are you?"
Gil de Ray picked up the human skin book "Luo Yancheng Textbook" in his hand. This is the core of all his abilities as a Caster.
Looking at Ke Ling who suddenly appeared in front of him, Gil de Ray's big eyes turned. Judging from the way Ke Ling suddenly appeared, it seemed like a heroic servant summoned by the Holy Grail.
Servant, Heroic Spirit, Servant, Realm Record Belt, refers to special summoned creatures like Gilles de Ray, who are the top-level servants. Usually, the Heroic Spirit summoned by humans is just a clone of the Heroic Spirit body, without personality, and will disappear and return to the Throne of Heroes after completing the mission.
The Heroic Spirit Servant in the Holy Grail War is different. The Master selected by the Holy Grail War holds a summoning ceremony and uses "holy relics" or his own affinity to locate the target. The Holy Grail locates and connects to the Heroic Spirit body located in the Throne of Heroes, copies the personality and power of the corresponding Heroic Spirit from the Throne of Heroes, and finally infuses it into the framework of "class" to create a Heroic Spirit clone. The final result is a real Heroic Spirit with self-awareness like Gilles de Ray.
As clones made by the magic of the Holy Grail, Heroic Spirits can enter the spirit state, which can save magic power and will not be discovered by ordinary people.
Obviously, the way Ke Ling appeared caused Gil de Ray to have some misunderstandings. He thought that Ke Ling was also a Heroic Servant. As a lousy magician, who could not even be considered a magician at all, Gil de Ray did not realize that there was actually no magical fluctuation on Ke Ling's body.
As for the Master Ryunosuke Uzumaki, he is even more of a heavyweight. He has no knowledge of the mysterious side world, and he doesn't even know that the Master has the ability to see the basic attributes of other Servants. He has no awareness of being a Master, so he naturally can't provide any help to Caster Gil de Ray, and can only watch the show.
In the absence of special treasures or special abilities, Masters can see the panel attributes of other Servants.
Of course, only attributes such as muscle strength, magic, luck, and spiritual base. As for treasures and inherent skills that may have identity-oriented abilities, Masters can't see them. After all, hiding the true name of the Servant is also part of the tactics. Exposing the true name is sometimes exposing a fatal weakness.
"Caster, let me see your ability."
Ke Ling did not answer Gil de Ray's question, but directly drew the weapon from the shadows, as if the long sword burning with flames was shining in the dim room.
"Flame Blade?"
Gil de Ray frowned when he saw Ke Ling's weapon. In fact, the weapon of the Noble Phantasm is also a major factor that makes it easy for the Heroic Spirit Servants to reveal their identities. After all, some Heroic Spirits' weapons are too famous, and you can even tell who they belong to at a glance.
But it's really hard to think of who this kind of flame blade is. It looks like a local hero. After all, the style of the blade is still very obvious. This makes Gil de Ray cautious, because local heroes generally have geographical advantages.
The strength of the Heroic Spirit clone itself will be affected by various factors, and popularity and region are important factors.
Some Heroic Spirits with strong popularity may be weak themselves, but they have powerful Noble Phantasms because of their high popularity. Some Heroic Spirits may get all-round improvement when fighting in their homeland, unlock more Noble Phantasms, and gain more power.
This is Fuyuki City, the island country of Neon. Seeing a Heroic Spirit using a samurai sword, you naturally have to respect the regional advantage first.
Caster Gil de Ray waved his hand, and the "Rayen City Textbook" in his hand kept flipping, and powerful magic fluctuations burst out.
The so-called magic relies on the "magic circuit". As long as there is a "magic circuit", there is a foundation for releasing magic.
"Magic circuit" is like a converter, which can convert the pure magic formed by life force into external power.
Magic is like a brick, and the magic circuit is a worker. The user is the designer. The designer gives the design to the magic circuit, and the magic circuit uses magic to finally build it. If the magic as a brick is not enough, the final construction will naturally not be completed.
And the treasure "Luo Yancheng Textbook" in Caster Gil de Ray's hand is a powerful magic furnace core, which can ignore the magic of the caster himself and automatically launch the magic of the great magic and ritual spell level. To put it bluntly, this thing is like an unlimited magic plug-in.
Not only infinite magic, even people who don't understand magic can use this thing to use many magics that come with the "Luo Yancheng Textbook", such as summoning sea monsters. This thing has another name, called "R'lyeh Text".
Yes, it is the R'lyeh. This book records things about the Deep One, Father God Dagon and Mother Goddess Hydra, Cthulhu's Star Family, "Sons of Cthulhu" Zos Omog and Ghatanothoa, and the great Cthulhu himself.
It also records the sinking of Mu Continent and R'lyeh, and implies that R'lyeh will rise from the sea again one day. In addition, it also mentions "the one waiting in the dark" Se'eg.
Of course, the "Luoyan City Textbook" in Gilles de Res's hands is not the original. It is a handwritten copy, an Italian translation, translated by Gilles de Res's friend, magician Francois Plelaty, who once studied it together.
