"Alone." Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't hide it. Then, seeing that Jekyll was a little worried, he quickly said, "Don't worry, he's very strong. If he can't do it, then I guess we can't do it together."

After hearing what Fujimaru Ritsuka said, Jekyll felt relieved, but at the same time he became more curious about the mysterious man.

The combined strength of the people present is not as strong as that of the man named Morpheus, so how strong is this Morpheus?

"Is that person also a Servant?" Jekyll asked. Only a Servant could be so powerful. After all, there were two Servants among the people in front of him!

As for Mordred, he is his own man and will not be included in this competition for the time being.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head and said, "It's a human, but don't worry, I haven't seen any Servant beat him yet." He laughed and pointed at Jeanne d'Arc. "If you don't believe me, you can ask her. They have fought before."

This surprised not only Jekyll, but also Mordred.

She still had some impression of Morpheus. When she first met these people, she did see a man. Now only this man was missing, so Morpheus must be this person.

At that time, this person recognized that he was a Servant at a glance. He was a little surprised at his sensitivity that he could see through him in this fog. He thought that he was also a powerful Servant. Now he didn't expect that he was actually a human being.

Mordred looked at Black Jeanne d'Arc. This woman was very powerful. Among the Servants, or Heroic Spirits, she was one of the most powerful ones. But now Fujimaru Ritsuka said that Black Jeanne d'Arc had fought with Morpheus, and she couldn't even beat Morpheus, a human!

So, everyone looked to Black Jeanne for confirmation.

Even if Black Jeanne shook her head and said it was a joke, everyone would think it was normal. But unexpectedly, Black Jeanne nodded and said without hesitation: "I can't beat him."

Seeing that Black Jeanne d'Arc admitted her failure so straightforwardly without any intention of concealing anything, several people were suddenly horrified. What kind of weird strength could she have that could defeat such a powerful servant?

Scholars naturally tend to judge problems and seek answers based on their own knowledge. Jekyll pondered for a moment and asked, "Could it be that he has some special magic formula that can suppress a Servant who is a spiritual being?"

Black Jeanne shook her head: "No, it's just a head-on fight with hard power. I can't beat him."

Jekyll became even more curious. How could a human being defeat such a powerful servant by relying on direct hard power? What kind of monster is this?

Could it be that aliens came to Earth and pretended to be Earthlings?

"Well, from what I've seen..." Mashu hesitated for a moment and then recounted what she had witnessed a few times in the past. "It's like Jason and Hercules in Greek mythology. They were both terrified of Morpheus and didn't dare to fight him."

Jekyll was even more confused: "A character from Greek mythology?!"

Mash nodded. "Yes, Jason was so frightened that he didn't dare to fight. Hercules obviously didn't want to fight him either. And I heard that he even participated in Jason's expedition to get the Golden Fleece and killed the Mother of Monsters on the way."

Jekyll took a breath. As a scholar, he had studied these myths carefully. There was indeed a record in Greek mythology that Echidna, the mother of all monsters, appeared and gave birth to countless monsters that attacked the expedition ships. The heroes and even the moon goddess took action to deal with Echidna.

But now it seems that it was Morpheus who solved the problem of Echidna?!

"Wait, I remember some unofficial history, I mean some less popular records, that said there was another person on the ship at the time, and this person was the main force in killing Echidna. However, there are very few records about this person. They all say that he was a man, but they don't say his name..."

When Jekyll said this, his eyes changed slightly.

"Could it be that the person in this record is Morpheus?!"

"Yes, according to the intelligence we've heard, it was him. This matter has also been confirmed by the Moon Goddess Artemis." Mash continued to nod, "They all acted together at the time, and it was Morpheus who killed Echidna."

"That's impressive indeed, but there are some strange things about this part of the myth. There's no explanation as to why Echidna attacked this fleet."

Fujimaru Ritsuka showed a helpless look: "Because Morpheus killed her husband before, that is, Typhon. Typhon died at the hands of Morpheus."

Hearing this answer, Jekyll was completely numb.

What did I hear? The greatest danger encountered on the Argonautic Ocean was Echidna. Mythologists have long been puzzled by the reason for Echidna's appearance, but there is no explanation.

Now there is finally an explanation, because a human named Morpheus killed Typhon, the father of all monsters, which led to his wife Echidna coming to seek revenge. This seems reasonable!

But this rationality gave Jekyll even more headaches.

Typhon was so powerful that even Zeus was defeated by him. But such a powerful Typhon was defeated by a human!

This is like saying that a human being is more powerful than the gods in Greek mythology!

Wait a minute, the things we just said about this guy were all from the mythological era, so why is he still alive now? And he's still human?! Could it be that he's discovered some method for immortality?

Thinking of this, Jekyll shook his head slightly and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

The secret of eternal life might be a secret of Morpheus, an extremely special magic, or even related to the Five Great Laws.

It’s better not to think about asking, otherwise you might get into trouble.

……

Morpheus had already left the clock tower and was heading towards Soho at a very fast speed.

When Morpheus thought of what those people had just said, he felt a little excited.

"It can cause harm to people, and it's a book. This kind of book clearly has self-awareness!

"Could this be a magic book? I didn't expect there to be a magic book in the Type-Moon world. If I could get this magic book, maybe I could get more magical knowledge directly from it!

"Besides, if we let Ritsuka and the others handle this, if it really is the Grimoire Book, then their minds and brains will most likely be contaminated. It's better for me to do it. My resistance is much stronger than theirs."

The so-called magic books refer to those books that carry magical knowledge. They not only contain extremely rich magical knowledge, but are also powerful tools for studying magic.

The divine weapons that Morpheus had forged with the help of the God of Fire, that book, was also a semi-finished magic book. As Morpheus continued to fill it with magical knowledge, its power would become stronger and stronger.

Of course, not all magic books are books. Human skin, animal skin, even bamboo, stone slabs, etc., which record magical knowledge, are all magic books. Even the so-called jade slips that appear in many immortal cultivation novels are magic books. Morpheus even knows that there are such magic books.

In fact, jade slips are an upgraded version of bamboo slips. Because jade is more noble than bamboo, some wealthy people like to record precious content on slips made of jade, which are simply called jade slips.

If magical knowledge is engraved on it, the scroll will become a magical prop in itself and will be transformed into a magic book.

For example, Baopuzi written by Ge Hong is a book on magic, which records the method of achieving immortality through alchemy.

However, the knowledge in the magic book itself contains a deadly poison that can subvert a person's entire worldview. If an ordinary person gets it, just one look at it will cause bleeding from all seven orifices. If they read it too much, they will die immediately.

It is precisely because of this that in ancient times, practicing magic was a very difficult thing. After all, one had to constantly contend with the toxins of magical knowledge. Unlike modern magic, the research of the Golden Dawn has lowered the threshold, allowing people to learn magical knowledge more safely and easily.

At the same time, because the purpose of the magic book is to spread knowledge, once the seal is broken, it will frantically look for people to spread its knowledge. It will help anyone who is willing to help spread it, and it can be said to have its own consciousness.

So, when Morpheus heard that a book could harm people, he immediately thought of this possibility.

What appeared this time was most likely a magic book!

"Well, after all, they're not human this time. It's just a book. Type-Moon won't come up with a bunch of non-human-looking card characters like in 1999, right?"

Thinking this, he quickened his pace.

Soon, Morpheus arrived in Soho, London. Looking at the houses there, he felt that many people here were asleep.

This made Morpheus confused.

"No one was killed, they're just sleeping? And it's obvious that these people are dreaming..."

He just fell into a sleep, he didn't die, nor did he bleed from all seven orifices or go crazy. It didn't seem like his san value was lowered by poisonous knowledge.

Morpheus pondered for a moment, raised his right hand, began waving it in the air, and quickly wrote out a series of words.

These words floated in the air, and Morpheus chanted the spell in a low voice.

"With the power of Remiel, protect the tranquility of dreams."

Since the target makes people fall asleep, it is very likely that it has the ability to interfere with dreams, or even gain power from dreams and kill people through dreams. In this case, then we should protect the dreams of these sleeping people.

He just didn't believe that the guy could still hide after he interfered with him like this. Maybe he had already discovered the problem and was coming to him angrily to cause trouble.

Chapter 173 Special Methods

Remuel, an angel recorded in the Book of Enoch, has duties that include illusions and dreams.

At the same time, He also possesses power over souls. After Morpheus used this special angelic power and cast the corresponding magic, the people who had been sleeping uneasily fell into sweet dreams one by one.

They slept soundly and peacefully, and their dreams were no longer eroded by anything.

Then, Morpheus felt the emergence of a force that could not be seen, but it did exist!

"Not yet formed? No, it means it hasn't obtained a real physical body yet?" Morpheus touched his chin and allowed that force to bombard his body, but it could not break through his own defense, causing the opponent's attack to have no effect.

Then, a book appeared. Looking at the book, Morpheus was stunned at first, then he chuckled.

"Alice in Wonderland?"

Yes, the culprit that appeared before him, the book that he suspected was a magic book, turned out to be a nursery rhyme story, and the name written on the cover was "Alice in Wonderland".

However, Morpheus was not surprised by this. He knew that even fairy tales could be transformed into special magic books.

So Morpheus liked the book in front of him more and more.

However, after further investigation, Morpheus showed a puzzled expression.

"He's actually a Servant?! No, Mushroom changed his nature? How did he publish a book?"

At this time, the book was continuing to attack Morpheus, but the attack was not fatal, nor was it intended to injure anyone. The only purpose of this attack was to make the target fall into a deep sleep.

But at this time, Morpheus did not care about the book, but looked at another place.

"What are you hiding there for?"

A boy, or rather a boy who looked like he deserved a beating, walked out from the other side and smiled at Morpheus: "Are you Morpheus?"

"Yes, I am. You are Andersen, right?"

Relying on the shared vision of Black Jeanne, Morpheus had seen the other party a long time ago, and now was the first time the other party saw him.

Andersen nodded and looked at the book. "This book is no ordinary monster. It was originally supposed to be a Servant that could directly reflect the Master's mental state. Only after signing a contract with the Master can it gain a physical form. Not a book, but a humanoid form."

Andersen smiled as he spoke. "However, the summons we servants received this time were all without a Master. It doesn't matter to us, but it's different. It's constantly putting people into a deep sleep, hoping to absorb dreams and then find a Master that suits it, so that it can gain a physical form."

The smile on Andersen's face became even more provocative. He chuckled, "So, it's difficult for you to deal with it. Since it has no physical form now, your attacks will have no effect on it."

Morpheus listened calmly to Andersen's words. After Andersen finished speaking, he said, "If my attacks are completely ineffective against it, then its attacks are completely ineffective against me. Do you understand?"

"Are you trying to say that force is mutual?"

"You can understand it this way." Morpheus nodded. "As long as it can interfere with this world and cause people to fall into a deep sleep, then the things in this world must be able to interfere with it, unless it has already reached its original level."

"In the beginning?" Andersen couldn't understand what Morpheus said.

Morpheus smiled and made a cross in front of himself: "May God bless you, Amen."

At this moment, Andersen understood what Morpheus meant.

If you want to achieve the state where you can interfere with the world without being interfered with by the world, then it can only be a paradox, but there is only one possibility for the existence of a paradox.

That is the omnipotent God!

It’s a pity that Andersen still couldn’t understand why Morpheus was so confident.

"It's already 1888. Shouldn't the debate about God and stone be over long ago?"

Andersen nodded, then sneered: "But isn't that just sophistry?"

Morpheus also laughed: "Don't use your brain, which is not yet capable of understanding mysteries, to understand God. You have to know that in some theories, 1=0 and 1≠0 can coexist."

Seeing that the topic of discussion seemed to be shifting to mathematics, Andersen simply shut his mouth.

Perhaps realizing he had suffered a loss in the confrontation, Andersen added, "So, do you want to believe in God forever?"

Morpheus smiled: "I am trying to move forward in the direction of the Lord, that's all."

Andersen shut his mouth completely. He felt that the person in front of him was a madman, a complete madman.

If other believers had said this, he would have thought it meant that the believers wanted to go to heaven, but since this person said it, he could only think of one explanation.

This guy wants to gain god-like power!

At the same time, Morpheus simply drew something in the void, and then a strange eye appeared in front of him. With the appearance of this eye, a force enveloped Morpheus.

Afterwards, the strange attack that kept bombarding Morpheus and wanted to put him to sleep was intercepted before it hit Morpheus' clothes.

Not only was it intercepted, but with the power of this special eye, the Eye of Horus, this force was probably reversed and went directly back in the direction it came from!

Andersen stared blankly at the book as it suddenly closed and fell to the ground with a thud. His eyes were full of astonishment.

"W-What the hell is going on?!"

"It just diverted its own attack back." Morpheus explained casually, then walked forward, picked up the book, and flipped through the contents.

"Shouldn't we destroy it? Let it return to the Throne of Heroes."

"I originally thought it was a grimoire, but it turned out to be a Servant. I'm now considering how to establish a bond with it, and then find a way to summon it myself." Morpheus did not hide his purpose. He answered Andersen's questions while looking at the contents of the book.

"You can try to use the original text of this book to summon, but the original text is hard to find. Or you can try to use the photocopied version of this book to summon directly." Andersen gave his opinion. At this time, the bickering between the two had ended. For someone who wanted to summon a specific servant, Andersen did not think there was anything wrong with giving his opinion from a servant's perspective.

Not to mention, the other party solved the problem of this troublesome servant so easily. Andersen had to admit that this man named Morpheus was indeed very powerful. And now in order to solve the crisis in London, such a powerful person is very important!

"That's a good suggestion indeed." Morpheus nodded. He took out his camera and snapped several photos of the book in his hand. He continued snapping photos while laughing, "I'll try using these photos when I get back. Maybe I can summon it directly!"

Andersen was stunned.

He had to admit that the other party's action made sense.
