"But since they have all begged so much, you should just reward each of them with a Holy Lance, just like you did to Mordred in Camelot." Xi Jian fanned the flames again.
"Absolutely not!" Artoria quickly rejected it.
The two knights who had no memory of the Camelot singularity just looked at each other, and stood up at Altria's gesture.
"You are the Chaldean Master that my king obeys, right?" Gawain greeted Xijian. "We were rude before, but from now on, the two of us will make up for our mistakes with bravery."
"Your king didn't say he would obey me. It's just that the Knight King is worried about the future of mankind and took the initiative to help." Shiomi also said politely, "The identity of the Master is just a procedural thing."
After all, Altria came to Chaldea for selfish reasons rather than public ones, but if you look at it separately, it is definitely not an appropriate behavior.
"I see." Tristan smiled slightly. "Although it is limited to this singularity, we will also participate in the battle as Servants from now on, Master."
"Thank you very much. Since it's so rare for you two to meet, why don't you reminisce here first?" Xi Jian looked at Morgan and said, "I'll go talk to my companions about what to do next."
"Then I'll go with you," said Altria. "Compared to personal matters, it's more important to resolve this singularity as soon as possible."
She followed Shiomi's footsteps and joined up with the others.
Tristan was about to follow closely, but he noticed that Gawain did not leave immediately, but was staring at the backs of Wang and Xijian thoughtfully.
"What do you think, Sir Tristan?" Gawain said.
“What?” Tristan asked.
"Just seeing the king and Princess Morgan join forces is shocking enough." Gawain held his chin up, "Don't you think the relationship between the king and the master is... a little close?"
Tristan looked surprised and tried to lower his voice: "I didn't expect Gao Wenqing to find out too!"
"Yes." Gawain nodded seriously, "But this is the king's freedom. Compared to this, Sir Tristan, don't you think that the girl named Passionlip——"
"Yes, it's very spectacular. I'm sure you can't help but want to strike up a conversation with her, but since you are in the presence of the king, you can only restrain your words and actions," said Tristan.
"Don't you want to?" Gao Wen thought it was natural.
The two began to whisper to each other in an extremely off-line manner.
Although he felt it was strange, Shiomi did not sense any ill intention. He just felt uncomfortable being stared at, but could only pretend not to notice.
After all, there are more important things at hand.
“Um, um… nice to meet you all. I’m Alrerego, Passionlip. I’ve been fighting with you all so I guess you’d be confused even if I say hello…”
Passionlip introduces herself to everyone.
"Don't worry about it. It's not your fault. It's the fault of the guy who made you restrained and forced to fight." Shiomi stared at her face, then looked at Morgan and the others, "It doesn't look like it, does it?"
"Mainly the eyes, but overall they are very similar." Morgan smiled.
"But compared to that kid, he's a bit more reserved and prone to being bullied because of his personality," Scathach commented.
"Like..." Passionlip didn't quite understand.
"Don't worry about it, ma'am. This is our own discussion." Altria explained elegantly like a knight, "You just look a lot like the Master's daughter."
"Master's...daughter?" Passionlip was surprised, and then reacted, "Could it be that you are BB... no, the family of the 'prototype'?"
"That's right. It's because you look like Ying that Dad is willing to rescue you instead of killing you." BB's communication screen popped up at this time. "In Dad's eyes, you are just a little girl."
"Is that so..." Passionlip was a little happy, but also a little shy, "But I'm Alrerego, and my hands are so long..."
Then her head was gently held down by Shiomi, who gently rubbed her hair.
It feels strange, yet very understandable.
That was the concern coming from the position of a "father", and Passionlip couldn't help but laugh.
"You are you, neither above nor below this. Use your power well. As long as you have a clear conscience and don't use it to hurt others, it'll be fine." Shiomi said to her gently.
"Hmm..." Passionlip clenched her hands. "Although it may be hard for you to trust me right now, please let me fight with you. I will definitely try my best to help you all!"
"If that is your own wish, I have no objection." Shiomi withdrew his hand.
He looked at BB: "How is the data recovery? Can you find the way to the celestial room?"
"Unfortunately, we failed. We can only start from other places next." BB was also disappointed. "I didn't expect the other party to do this. It seems that they don't want us to get there."
At this time, Passionlip suddenly raised his hand slightly to signal:
"Well...if the Celestial Chamber is where Melt is in charge of guarding, I know how to get there."
"Eh?"
Everyone had almost the same reaction.
"…Because, Melt and I can sense each other, although I don't know why…"
Being stared at by everyone, Passionlip became shy again.
However, before anyone could digest this unexpected information, Suzuka's impatient voice rang out.
"So are you going to make me your companion or kill me? Just give me a definite answer, okay? It's really uncomfortable to be half dead like this..."
"Oh." Morgan nodded apologetically. "I had just finished dealing with this and was planning to go over and take a look, but then I heard the explosion in the control room."
Xijian shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"It's really...thank you for your hard work."
Chapter 43: Organizing Intelligence
After finishing the exploration of the control room, the group temporarily retreated back to the church to rest and further organize the current situation.
"When we came back, we also tried to investigate other places. Basically, they were too clean. Apart from the residual magic left after the servants' death battle, there was nothing left." Shiomi said, "We also searched this church. There was nothing extra left. It was visibly cleaned."
When he said this, he looked at BB, which made the other party feel aggrieved.
"I did occupy the church and transform it into a non-combat zone that would not be disturbed by hostile attack programs and servants, but I never cleaned it up." BB put his hands on his hips, "It was probably done by the people from this church who were originally in charge of the offshore oil fields, right?"
"In charge of the church?" Altria was a little surprised. "Isn't this church created in the computer space?"
BB shook his head. "No. The church, like the control room and the celestial room, are all original institutions of the Seraphix Ocean Oil Field."
This is indeed surprising, but it makes sense if you think about it carefully.
"It's the same in Chaldea. In addition to magicians, there are many people who are not magicians. Many of them have religious beliefs, but Chaldea doesn't have that condition." Shiomi shrugged. "That's why Animusphia allowed the installation of the things of the Holy Church in the magician's camp."
Morgan stroked his palm and said, "Moreover, religious belief is an important support for healing the souls of people in isolated societies. There should be someone like Romani who can be responsible for psychological treatment here."
Hearing this, Xi Jian's pupils suddenly contracted.
He recalled that the residual thoughts he came into contact with in the control room also mentioned the existence of a psychological therapist.
Is there any connection between these?
"Compared to this, Gawain, Tristan, and Suzuka Gozen, did you discover any abnormalities during your time as Servants related to the 'Guards'?" asked Shiomi.
"I am very ashamed to say that I never met the Master when I was summoned. At some point after that, I suddenly and uncontrollably became Lady Suzuka's subordinate," said Gao Wen.
Tristan's situation was different: "After a fight with several servants, I was seriously injured and lost consciousness. I thought I was out of the game, but I didn't expect that my injuries would recover. When I woke up, I was in the same situation as Gao Wenqing."
Then everyone's eyes naturally turned to Suzuka. She was very dissatisfied: "I want to know too. These two guys suddenly came to my side, and then the broadcast said that they were to increase my combat power..."
"Then why did you become a 'Guardian'? Was it also that broadcast that changed your permissions?" Shiomi asked again.
"Of course..." Suzuka was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously held her head: "Ah... This is so strange... Why can't I remember the process?"
Suzuka had clear memories of being summoned and acting as a "Guardian" afterwards.
The only thing is that I have no idea how he became a "Guardian".
"No matter how hard you try, you can't remember it. Although SE.RA.PH looks like a pure electronic city where a fake Holy Grail War is being held," BB said, "the core part has been controlled by Beast, who has been hiding his identity."
In this regard, Shiomi also has a similar opinion: "It seems that Beast has carefully erased all traces of himself, thereby ensuring that his metamorphosis can be completed smoothly without being disturbed."
"Who exactly is that Beast..." Shiomi was still very concerned about this question.
However, Beast seized the initiative and not only sealed off SE.RA.PH in a short period of time and avoided Mooncell's observation, but he also knew that Chaldea would carry out spirit particle transfer and repair work here, and made the most perfect response possible.
The church that has not been converted into computer space, the control room, and the celestial room that they have not yet reached are the three more important places.
But if that is the case, why not directly transform these three places into the same electronic space as the outside world?
Is it bait?
Shiomi felt alert in his heart.
Then he sat up straight and looked at everyone:
"After exploring the control room and the fierce battle, everyone is very tired. Especially those of you who originally belonged to the "Guardians". Even if Servants don't need sleep, you also need to rest."
That battle was actually more stressful for them. If Shiomi hadn't had other ideas, they would have been wiped out in that battle.
Altria even has to face the choice of killing her former companions.
Even Gawain and Tristan would not resent their king.
"In six... no, eight hours, we will find the way to the Celestial Body Room based on the information provided by Passionlip." Shiomi added, "Since Beast deliberately hid the way there, it means that place is very important. Even if we can't see Beast, we can still find the traces left by him."
"No, we are not that kind of..." Gawain tried to refuse, and took the initiative to stand guard outside the church with Tristan.
After all, having lost two "Guardians" in a row, Beast, who was manipulating the fake Holy Grail War of SE.RA.PH, could not just sit there and watch.
"Lord Gawain, Lord Tristan, this is the Master's order, you'd better obey it." Artoria reminded, "A tired knight cannot go to the battlefield, or do you intend to stay in the church and take on the task of guarding the rear?"
After hearing these words, Gao Wen was speechless.
"In that case, let's obey the king and the master and go and rest." Tristan couldn't help but smile.
BB pointed to the back of the church and said, "There are still many empty rooms on the second floor. You can go over and choose one."
"Ah... I'm so tired, I need to take a nap!"
Suzuka Gozen was the first to disappear behind the church door, followed by Gawain and Tristan.
"As expected of you, you are the Knight King. Your loyalty to their king is even greater than your loyalty to your Master." Scathach teased.
"That's not the case." Artoria explained hurriedly, "Besides-"
"Besides, they didn't sign a temporary contract with me." Shiomi crossed her arms, "It's not about loyalty. We are just working together to repair the singularity, just like every singularity we have experienced in the past."
Morgan then asked, "Don't you need to rest, Master?"
“…No need. The previous battle was just a warm-up.” Shiomi shook her head and smiled, “Also, there’s no need to keep calling me Master. I thought there would be a Holy Grail War, but it turned out to be a waste of hope…”
"Really? I think it's pretty good to maintain this state for now."
Scathach's statement drew agreement from the other two.
Chapter 44 The Value of the Soul
"I see... So Mooncell is actually made by aliens?"
Seven hours later, Shiomi returned to the chapel and saw BB there, so she asked her about Mooncell.
Although it had been explained before, now that Shiomi was alone, BB explained more things.
"Well, Mooncell was originally a creation left on the moon by aliens from ancient times to record information about the Earth. Mooncell itself does not have artificial intelligence because it concluded that it does not need this function as a recording medium. Instead, a superior AI like me is a terminal created to observe humans more efficiently."
"Then the Moon Holy Grail War..." Shiomi continued to ask.
"The interior of the Moon, made up of Mooncell, is itself a boundless Holy Grail."
"In other words, the moon itself is the Holy Grail?" Shiomi looked up at the ceiling subconsciously, "The thing that the magicians of Fuyuki have spent their entire lives pursuing is actually right there..."
"That being said, Mooncell has determined that it is not yet ready to be opened to Earth, so even the Magic King cannot actively access the interior of Mooncell." BB continued, "And the Moon Holy Grail War is the system that Mooncell uses to select its own users. Of course, this function is still at a stage where it has not been opened to the world at present."
"It's not open to humans, why did you choose me and arrange for you to show your existence to me?" Xi Jian asked.
BB was in a rare dilemma: "I'm sorry, this part is not public. Mooncell did not grant me the permission to use this part."
"It's really a machine... No, that thing is a machine." Shiomi complained, and then asked, "If we win, Mooncell's Holy Grail should be able to achieve a more powerful result than Fuyuki's Holy Grail system, right?"
"Of course. Unlike the system built by human magicians based on the Third Law under the witness of the Second Magician, the power of the Holy Grail of Mooncell comes from its own astronomical calculation power. The winner of the Holy Grail War only obtains the right to use it. Whether it is tampering with the past or predicting the future, the user can transform the world into what he wants." BB said.
Shiomi was stunned: "Tampering with the past... won't it become a singularity?"
"Of course not. Mooncell will calculate for users things that can continue to develop and will not be cut off." BB said as a matter of course.
"That's really amazing..." Xijian crossed his arms.
"The original BB was also a superior AI designed with souls to manage the Holy Grail War." BB said, "But I am different. I am an AI that exists to guide my father's path."
"Original?"
