Chapter 263 Reunion and Invitation

When Fu Le returned from the Vortex of Origin, Artoria and Medea were still guarding the magic site, not letting any unrelated people in.

Although Fu Le seemed to have spent a long time in the Vortex of Roots.

But the root of the problem is beyond the reach of years.

There is no concept of time and space there; it spans the past and present, from the birth of the Type-Moon world to its destruction.

Therefore, no matter how long Fu Le stays there, as long as he can determine the anchor point, he can return to the time he started and return to the correct time period.

However, if he doesn't have enough power, the outside world may have changed completely when he emerges from the vortex of origin.

Of course, he could also go back to the past.

However, the inhibitory force will ensure the proper development of human reason.

Any attempt to distort history will either be erased or completely removed from official history, becoming something like a Lostbelt.

Fu Le, of course, possessed the necessary strength, and thus successfully returned to the current point in time.

Then he returned to the resting place he had prepared in advance in the basement of the Matou family's house.

He wants to gradually eradicate the toxicity of knowledge here.

This is destined to be a difficult task. Even if Fu Le wants to completely eliminate the poison of knowledge, he will need to cut himself into countless pieces.

This is a method unique to Fu Le, since his specialty is recovery.

But he cannot come out after he has completely dealt with all of this.

If others come into contact with this poison of knowledge that comes from the root, they will instantly become like madmen.

Vast, incomprehensible, and corrosive knowledge can destroy a person's spirit in an instant.

This knowledge is taboo for ordinary people.

Fu Le's use of "mortals" here refers to the vast majority of beings in this world, including both gods and true ancestors.

This means that the inhibitory force can access this forbidden knowledge without any restrictions.

If one is a first-generation mage, one can also have some contact with them.

After all, becoming mages meant they couldn't avoid contact with the Vortex of Origin.

Although they did not delve into the Vortex of Roots, their magical abilities gave them some resistance to this knowledge.

Besides them, although some other people could also contact Fu Le at this time, this did not include Artoria and Medea.

After returning, Fu Le did not have any direct contact with them. He merely conveyed some information to them, telling them about his current situation, before returning to the secret workshop he had prepared in advance.

He then went into seclusion.

While Fu Le was in seclusion, Artoria and Medea outside had finished dealing with the aftermath of the Holy Grail War.

With the power of the Greater Grail, Medea obtained the body she desired, just as she had hoped.

Medea underwent a tremendous change after acquiring a new physical body.

The first thing is age.

Medea is very mature as a Servant, but she is very young after gaining a physical body; she is only twelve years old.

It's like when Gilgamesh turned into a baby Gilgamesh.

But her body becoming smaller did not make her mind become immature.

Thanks to her skillful handling, no outsiders knew what happened that night, and all the participants had their memories erased by Medea.

Fuyuki City then returned to calm.

The Holy Grail War has ended, but Artoria and Medea remain.

Artoria was quite unaccustomed to this.

She had thought she would return to Valhalla, and she was troubled by this for a while.

But Medea persuaded her.

Through her connection with Fu Le and his trust, Medea learned a great deal about the outside world.

So she used the excuse that "perhaps we can find a way to save your hometown from the outside world" to rekindle Artoria's fighting spirit.

Medea was very satisfied with Artoria's changes.

After all, a knot in one's heart can only be broken by the person themselves.

If they simply give up like this, it will be disappointing.

To help Artoria get used to modern life, Medea even arranged for Artoria to attend middle school so that she could take Sakura to and from school with her every day.

Artoria initially resisted this, of course.

But there was nothing he could do; before leaving, Fu Le handed over the reins of power to Medea.

Furthermore, Medea learned excellent cooking skills from Fu Le, and now that Fu Le is in seclusion, all of Fu Le's clones in the Matou family have also disappeared.

This allowed Medea to directly control Artoria through her stomach, thus gaining her complete control.

Besides these trivial matters, Medea also received a task from Fule.

That is to completely master the Holy Grail War system and then continue to optimize it.

As a method to reach the Vortex of Roots, Fu Le naturally placed increasing importance on the Holy Grail system.

After all, the Root Vortex is of such a high level that even if Fu Le had been there, he couldn't leave a mark there and then teleport there directly next time.

The vortex of origin has no coordinates.

It doesn't exist anywhere in this world, yet it exists everywhere in this world.

Therefore, as the only key to the path to the Root, the Holy Grail system is of unimaginable importance to Fu Le.

Three years have passed in the Type-Moon universe in the blink of an eye.

Fu Le spent three years trying to completely eliminate the effects of the poison of knowledge on himself.

This was an extremely long time for Fu Le.

But in Fu Le's opinion, it was all worth it.

Despite his multitasking nature, Fu Le did not give up during these three years. During this time, he continued to absorb the martial arts knowledge he had obtained from the Vortex of Origin in order to improve his martial arts skills.

After three years of study, Fu Le has made tremendous progress in martial arts.

Regardless of the skill, Fu Le has improved to level nine.

The sword technique he practiced most was only one step away from reaching the tenth level of mastery.

With just one lucky break and a bit of insight, Fu Le believed he could take that step.

Fu Le was also clear about where his opportunity lay.

That was during the duel with Mirror Stream.

He only needs a duel with a swordsman of caliber like Kagami-ryu to cross this level and then completely master his power.

So, after eliminating the effects of the poison of knowledge on himself, Fu Le immediately returned to the world of 'Black Bullet'.

He initially used the excuse of taking a break to temporarily withdraw from his competition with Kagami-ryu.

Unexpectedly, three years have passed since he left.

Three years later, when Fu Le returned to the dark world of bullets, everything in that world had changed dramatically.

Gastrea, which once ravaged the world, has now been eradicated, the lands that were once taken away have been reclaimed, and the various regimes that were once fragmented have been unified.

The Black Tower and their allies have completely taken control of this world.

And they have already begun an in-depth analysis of this world.

By understanding the differences in the development of different worlds while maintaining the same underlying foundation, Black Tower and Ruan Mei obtained a wealth of data and conclusions that they had never had before, enabling them to advance several steps in their respective disciplines.

It should be noted that Heita and Ruan Mei were originally geniuses at the forefront of science.

Their few steps forward were enough to bring about tremendous changes to the entire Stardust Railway world. This was their reward.

The more they gain, the busier they become.

Nowadays, even the Mirror Stream and Rakshasa are rarely seen.

It wasn't until Fu Le returned that these two important figures emerged from the research lab.

"You little rascal, you've been gone for years. I thought you'd died in some other world!"

Seeing Fu Le reappear, Hei Ta glared at him with annoyance.

He said he was going on vacation and would be back in half a month, but he ended up leaving for three years, which really left Black Tower speechless.

Ruan Mei, however, remained calm, a smile playing on her lips as she simply gazed at Fu Le.

"I'm so sorry, it was my fault this time, I admit it."

Fu Le quickly apologized.

Although Heita and Ruanmei did not say it explicitly, Fu Le's sudden disappearance did indeed cause them considerable trouble.

After all, they themselves do not have the ability to travel between worlds; they need Fu Le to activate their abilities.

If Fu Le were to die in another world under these circumstances, they would probably have to stay in this world forever.

This is downright torture.

Therefore, Fu Le's apology was very sincere.

Neither Heita nor Nguyen Mai said anything about it.

After all, they can't keep Fu Le by their side all the time, can they?
Moreover, given their confidence, even if Fu Le really died outside, they would probably try their best to develop a tool that could travel through the world from scratch.

After all, having traveled to several different worlds, they had gained a fairly deep understanding of the nature of the world.

Furthermore, they possess corresponding talents.

Genius, that's no joke.

Seeing that Heita and Ruan Mei didn't say much, and realizing that Heita wasn't angry but just pretending, Fu Le immediately leaned over and excitedly said, "But Teacher Heita, I've gained a lot from this trip."

Fu Le immediately told Black Tower about the unique nature of the Type-Moon world.

Upon hearing this, Hei Ta's eyes immediately lit up, and even Ruan Mei showed a surprised expression.

"I can't believe such a world exists, such a wonder!"

"Sure enough, just like our world, as long as the galaxy is big enough, any kind of situation can occur. Now, as long as there are enough other worlds, any kind of other world is possible."

Black Tower couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

She was truly fascinated by the Vortex of the Type-Moon universe.

So much so that in this world where she had lived for three years, there was nothing left for her to cherish.

She is about to head to the Type-Moon world.

She couldn't wait to see the Vortex of Origin.

However, Fu Le suppressed Black Tower's interest.

"Don't worry, Professor Black Tower. The Vortex of Origin is still there; it won't disappear, so we have plenty of time."

"My return was so sudden this time. You and Ruan Mei must still have a lot of experiments to conduct, right? There's no need to rush. You can finish the experiments you're currently working on first."

"Besides, I have some things to take care of when I come back this time. We'll go there together then."

Fu Le advised Black Tower.

Even Ruan Mei spoke up to persuade Heita on Fu Le's behalf.

Although Ruan Mei was also very interested in the Vortex of the Type-Moon universe, she wasn't as eager as she was with the Black Tower.

This has a lot to do with their personalities.

Black Tower herself is rather fickle, and when she encounters something she likes, she is willing to pay a great price to pursue it and wants to get it immediately.

"Alright, since you all say so, I'll just have to be patient a little longer."

Seeing that both Fu Le and Ruan Mei shared this opinion, Hei Ta had no choice but to surrender.

She still valued Fu Le and Ruan Mei's opinions.

However, she was still in a hurry, so much so that she barely spoke to Fu Le before pulling Ruan Mei back to the research lab to handle the experiments at hand.

She wanted to settle everything before leaving, so she could travel light.

Fu Le was helpless about this; after all, Hei Ta was the teacher.
However, this was exactly what Fu Le wanted, since he was currently preoccupied with the upcoming battle against Jing Liu.

After meeting with Heita and Ruan Mei, Fu Le found Jing Liu's trail.

At that moment, she was teaching martial arts to others.

In the world of 'Black Bullet', there are many girls infected with Gastrea genes.

Thanks to Ruan Mei's techniques, these former 'cursed children' no longer turn into Gastrea as they continue to use their power.

Their genes have stabilized.

This made their talents exceptional.

With nothing else to do, Jingliu began teaching them martial arts.

Although Kagami-ryu's forte is swordsmanship, her teaching of these girls does not focus on swordsmanship.

Because these girls each have different strengths.

Having inherited DNA from different organisms, they each have their own strengths, which leads to vastly different career paths for them in the future.

In terms of teaching, Kagami-ryu has some insights.

In addition, this is also a way for Jingliu to rediscover his former state of mind.

After all, she had been trapped in the demonic body for a long time, and hundreds of years had made her forget her former way of life.

Now, with Fu Le's help, she has regained her former state of mind.

This required her to readjust.

Now, he patiently teaches children here, which is also a way of training Kagami-ryu himself.

After finding Jingliu, Fu Le saw her teaching the girls. Instead of disturbing her, he waited for her quietly.

In fact, Jingliu noticed Fu Le's arrival.

But Fu Le's subsequent expression of intent made her stop thinking about ending the teaching immediately.

So she refocused on teaching until the end of the day's lessons.

"Yo, long time no see, Kagami-ryu!"

Seeing Jing Liu approaching, Fu Le greeted him with a smile.

But Jingliu didn't respond to his greeting directly; instead, he stared intently at him.

"Your cultivation level has improved a lot!?"

The mirror flow answers a rhetorical question.

"You're really perceptive. That's right, I'm only one step away from that level now."

Fu Le smiled and extended his palm to him in invitation.

"How about a game?"

"Of course!"

Jingliu stretched out his palm and cleaved the railway track.
