Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

37. Gathering round table

Strictly speaking, the Demon King is not the enemy of human principles, he is the defender of human principles. Even if the incineration of human principles is now launched, this fundamental position has not changed.

What the Demon God King does is not to 'destroy human nature', but to 'retrospect human nature'. In this process, the original history will be overturned, and the people who die - strictly speaking, do not die, but live in the new world. It's just 'rebirth'.

It depends on personal opinions. Some people think that this kind of rebirth is not considered death. After rebirth, you are still the same person. There are also many people who think that the new person after such rebirth is no longer the original person.

That’s why the story title of the first part of FGO is not ‘The Story of Saving the World’, but ‘The Story of Taking Back the Future’.

——But the original divinity is different

Although the logic of cause and effect is a bit strange, the Age of Mythology is actually an extension of the Age of Humanity. The human race is the foundation. The Age of Mythology and the Age of Humanity are inseparable. As long as there are myths, we will definitely reach the Age of Humanity, because mythology It is originally a product woven by human beings.

But in a worse era - the primitive era, or the "prehistoric" era, in the era when order-like products such as mythology or human theory have disappeared, the era when chaos or chaotic order prevails, then It is an era when everything is unpredictable, everything bursts out, everything thrives - and at the same time, everything is doomed to extinction.

The reason why all things are doomed to extinction is because it was an era when planetary consciousness was active. The result of the active planetary consciousness was that all living things developed desperately and fertilized, and then carried out a continuous battle royale until a certain 'individual' swallowed up and eliminated all living things. , let the matter of 'breeding living creatures' itself stop before it ends.

In other words, the ultimate life form of the star (Ultimate ONE) was born.

Although there were many great powers who were friendly to humans in the primitive era, the most famous one was the 'elite' Prometheus - the Greek gods were outsiders, and Prometheus had always existed before that.

But this kind of friendly existence, this kind of existence that 'coexists with certain races' and 'serves as a protector of certain races', will definitely be destroyed in the prehistoric era. For no reason, because this is the common sense of the earth - The current situation is abnormal.

reason? The reason is unknown, but considering that the Earth ushered in the localization of a large number of alien gods in the Age of Mythology, perhaps these outsiders who arrived and were assimilated started the Age of Mythology and were the key to this. Well, if we insist on pursuing it, we can only ask those beings who have lived from the prehistoric era to the mythical era.

——Plerati certainly knows.

But she was too lazy to say it, because some things were boring to say directly.

However, the Lion King's true identity, 'Goddess Lungominiad', is a matter of 'original divinity', and Prelati will naturally tell it, because this level of identity is the real enemy of human reason and all order. The enemy of the chaotic order, even if the expression has softened a lot due to the absorption of part of Artoria's remnants, this fundamental will not change.

Sooner or later it will be exposed.

This kind of thing is like a UO that failed to become a UO, or a juvenile UO that was still in its embryonic stage.

As long as the entire key is told, Chaldea and the Lion King are eternal enemies. There are so many professionals on the Chaldean side, and they naturally know the danger of primitive divinity to human reason.

But Prelatti still thought less about it.

Since Chaldea could not be contacted for the time being, Prelati could only tell Lu Mingfei first.

Lu Mingfei: "Oh"

oh.

Then nothing happened.

Prelati seriously emphasized several times in her mind the danger of the goddess Lungominiad to human nature.

Lu Mingfei also quickly nodded seriously in his heart, and said in his heart super seriously: "Oh!"

Prelati: "."

Prelati covered her face silently.

She could see that due to lack of knowledge, Lu Mingfei was in a state of understanding or not understanding. Even if you emphasized the danger from various angles, Lu Mingfei could only say "oh".

He actually has a pretty good reputation in this regard. The goddess Lungominiad is also a beautiful girl in appearance, because she swallowed up the remnants of Artoria's personality, not to mention the fundamental part, at least on the surface. Looking at it, I really can’t see its danger.

It was the first time that Prelatti felt so inexplicably aggrieved.

Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at the profile of the Lion King.

The Lion King, aware of the gaze, turned his head slightly and looked at Lu Mingfei.

[The Lion King’s ‘impression’ of Lu Mingfei disguised as ‘Charlemagne disguised as Bradamante’: 1D100=93 (fortunately he didn’t give me 3 points higher)]

The goddess smiled very charmingly, that kind of expression that was very 'goddess'-like. Although it was a micro-expression, she still looked very goddess-like. Lu Mingfei, who was short of words, couldn't think of any adjectives for a while.

[Lu Mingfei’s ‘impression’ of The Lion King: 1D50+50=37+50=87]

Facing such a 'goddess', Lu Mingfei blushed a little. Although the other party didn't say anything, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The last time he had a similar feeling was when he met Da Vinci for the first time - well , only for the first time, after becoming too familiar, although Da Vinci still wore the face of the most beautiful woman in Lu Mingfei's opinion, he lost his inner feelings after knowing that the essence of his personality was indeed that of an uncle.

Prelati felt even more lost inexplicably, and even had a headache. Although she didn't speak, Lu Mingfei obviously had no idea of ​​the danger of the goddess Lungominiad.

These detailed interactions were seen by Agguiwen, who was on the left hand of the king. Agguiwen was very satisfied with this, and the bad mood caused by Lancelot's presence was slightly relieved.

It’s nice to be a decent person. It is such a simple principle to stay close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, why does the king...

Aguewen's eyes turned colder when he looked at Lancelot.

After this little bit of interaction

Agguiwen suddenly said: "Everyone is here."

As soon as Agguiwen finished speaking, several figures - projections appeared one after another beside Lancelot and Gao Wen. The first one to appear was Lu Mingfei, the most familiar face present.

"Father!"

And that familiar loud voice.

"What happened? There is an emergency meeting suddenly called? Is it a problem with Gareth's aura before? I followed the order and did not leave the fortress, so compared to these orangutans, it is better to bring me back!"

The rude speech, the face that was almost the same as the Lion King, and the voice that Lu Mingfei was extremely familiar with—it was Mordred.

The Lion King didn't reply, and seemed to express his attitude of 'ignoring Mordred' in this way.

The one who appeared next was the palace deacon, Bedivere, who looked the least courageous and looked more like a polite young nobleman than a warrior. His right arm was shrouded in a mysterious silver sheen.

"I'm sorry, my king." Bedivere half-knelt on the ground, "I took Ehangulun to the place where Gareth's aura last appeared, but I only received some wreckage, and I couldn't find any information about Gareth's whereabouts. clue."

The Lion King nodded slightly, but did not speak. I don’t know if it’s Lu Mingfei’s misunderstanding, but the Lion King’s attitude towards Bedivere, the knight closest to King Arthur, can’t be called ‘alienation’, but a ‘feeling of strangeness’, as if there was a relationship between these two people. It doesn't seem familiar.

Bedivere's eyes swept over Lu Mingfei and Prelati (Merlin). A complicated light flashed in his eyes for a moment, but he quickly lowered his head.

Then a particularly tall and heavily armored knight appeared - standing next to Mordred, Mordred looked a bit 'mini'. He loaded the helmet under his arm, his eyes full of confusion, giving Lu Mingfei a look. A 'simple' feeling.

The Knight of the Holy Lance, Knight Percival, who is second only to Galahad in ‘holiness’ in the Round Table, obviously does not know what is happening:

"What happened? An emergency meeting was held suddenly? I was rude when I got lost in the Atlas Mountains. What happened during the time when I was lost and looking for the Atlas Institute? Because the mountains themselves have strong magnetic interference, I feel Not like the conditions outside.”

"Gareth is missing." Agguiwen answered Percival's confusion, "Judging from the fact that the blessing contract with the king has not disappeared, there should be no death, maybe he was captured by some enemy."

"——It's possible that he hid and rebelled, right?"

Agguiwen, who always interrupts others, was interrupted this time.

With long scarlet hair and eyes closed, the handsome and extraordinarily handsome knight appeared while speaking sharply. After bowing to the Lion King, he faced Agaguiwen—and Gawain—unceremoniously.

"You children of Morgan, no matter how loyal you are to the king, you are inherently unreliable. Whether it's Aggawain or Gawain, you two are the kind of beings who will ignore the king's personal feelings for your own selfish desires. Originally, if you hadn't ignored the king's warning and went to find Princess Guinevere, Gawain wouldn't have left the king's side because of personal grudges in order to fight to the death with Lancelot without protecting him. The battle would not have ended like this.”

The atmosphere between the entire throne suddenly became dangerous. Lu Mingfei was shocked. Who is this person? How dare he make such a "sharp comment" here?

The red-haired knight didn't seem to have said enough: "Gareth is even more so. Her loyalty to the king is not absolute. She has been wavering during the Round Table Civil War. She can't even make a decision on her own. She just stands with her brothers. On the king’s side—my king, I, Tristan, should take Agguiwen’s place!”

Because Tristan’s arrogance was too arrogant, he even overshadowed the last Knight of the Round Table who appeared silently and had a lion armor similar to that of the Lion King - the Lion Knight ‘Evaine’.

Iwein did not speak, and even showed his "bored" attitude towards this 'round table conference' somewhat openly.

Lu Mingfei glanced at it and thought to himself that there were obviously many internal conflicts here. What allowed them to continue to stay together?

However, this combat power is astonishing. All the Knights of the Round Table present, judging from the size of their spiritual bases, almost every one of them has reached a level that can be called the 'King of Singularity'.

Although it is due to the effect of the magic card in the Holy City, the force value is really amazing.

However, despite this, it can only be said that Age Guiwen, the "little Zhuge next to the King of Knights", has poor abilities.

"I think it's quite the opposite."

Prelati suddenly said to Lu Mingfei in her heart:

"The essence of the Knights of the Round Table is mercenaries. They have always been full of internal contradictions. Apart from Artoria's personal charm, what makes them come together is that they have a common goal that can be accepted by everyone, and that is Fight against the invaders. But now, this common goal is gone, and the conflicts within the round table have become more serious, but they can still come together under one banner, which is amazing."

I don’t know if Prelati is saying it’s ‘amazing’ that they can still get together instead of fighting, or that it’s ‘amazing’ that Agguanwen can maintain the status quo.

Mordred is lawless and seems to be in a state of 'rage' all the time.

Ivyn is taciturn and is fed up with the current situation of the Round Table.

Bedivere, who was supposed to be the palace steward closest to King Arthur, now didn't know what he was thinking, wandering outside the circle as a whole.

The four of them, Lancelot, Argonaut, Gawain, and Tristan, were quarreling constantly.

If it weren't for the amazing force value, this round table would look like a pill.

The Lion King doesn't seem to care.

In other words, Percival is relatively more like a normal person, right?

He directly ignored the quarrel over there. If he was really there, he might be referring to several core members of the Knights of the Round Table who had already begun the imperial martial arts practice. He had a somewhat honest smile on his face and came over to look at him with a look of helplessness. , Master Sanzang, who was not easy to break up, said hello, and then introduced himself to Lu Mingfei cordially.

They started chatting in a few words, but the topic was a bit strange. Percival seemed to have some strange obsession with food, and always wanted to let Lu Mingfei taste the food he cooked.

He seems to have a very caring personality.

Prelati next to her showed a somewhat coquettish smile, and looked at Percival seductively with that smile: "It's great to see you as normal as usual, Mr. Percival."

Percival smiled bitterly: "That's the only way it can be, Gareth. Alas, it wouldn't be surprising if she couldn't bear it and defected. I can understand it."

Percival glanced at Mordred, who had already started shouting, "I will go and defeat the traitor Gareth!" This Mordred seemed very strange to Lu Mingfei.

"Alas, without Gareth, maybe the next round table"

Percival was silent for a moment, and his eyes came to Master Tripitaka again.

"Master, when the time comes."

"I will try my best." Master Sanzang smiled, and his smile looked particularly soft, as if he had some determination, "but I'm not sure I can do it as well as Gareth."

Percival nodded silently.

☆

Perhaps it was because all the Knights of the Round Table—including Gawain, who had the closest relationship—had more or less expectations in their hearts that Gareth might defect.

Regarding the disappearance of Gareth, there was no real result in the end, and the lion knight Ivein was just left to be responsible for the search.

Mordred, who was ordered to guard the fortress base and was not allowed to go out, was furious, but that was all.

The content of the roundtable meeting, which was more of a quarrel than a discussion, finally moved away from Lu Mingfei and Chaldea's affairs about Gareth, which they knew very well inside, and came to the issue that Lu Mingfei was really curious about now.

Now, what exactly are the Knights of the Round Table in The Lion King fighting against?

What kind of existence can sustain such a round table?

The Lion King raised his hand, ended Gareth's topic, then looked at Tristan and asked:

"How is the battle with Achilles, the King of the Underworld?"
