This time, Morpheus didn't say anything. He just came to Fujimaru Ritsuka and saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka opened and closed his mouth in front of him, but no sound came out.
"sorry to bother you."
Morpheus could tell that this was what the other party was saying.
At this moment, Mashu has realized that Morpheus' words are indeed useful. At least Olga Marie is now much better than before.
Olga Marie recovered a little. Although what Morpheus said was unpleasant, she knew that there was nothing wrong with it.
She is the current head of the Animusphia family and the director of Chaldea. If she collapses here, what will happen to the Animusphia family?!
She was silent for a moment, then said, "Well, our goal now is to complete the communication with Chaldea first."
At this moment, she became the strong woman who took charge of various things at a young age.
Although, maybe this strength is not that strong.
"What we need to do now is to find the spiritual vein terminal of this place, that is, the place where the spiritual energy of the spiritual vein converges. Once we get there, we can restore our connection with Chaldea."
Olga Marie said this while looking around carefully, as if trying to sense where the power of the spiritual vein was gathered.
"It's right here, Chief. This is the end of the spiritual vein." Mashu said from the side, which made Olga Marie's expression change. She was like a child whose limelight had been stolen. She said with her neck stiff, "Huh?! Ah... yes... yes, it seems so. I know, of course I know this little thing!"
Then, she ordered, "Mashu, place your shield on the ground and set up a summoning circle using your Noble Phantasm as a catalyst."
Mashu did not start immediately, but looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka is Mashu's master now.
As Mashu placed the weapon on the ground with Fujimaru Ritsuka's consent and set up the summoning circle, the surrounding environment changed. Everything was wrapped in a space with strange blue patterns, as if this was the inside of a high-tech laboratory.
"This... is the same as Chaldea's summoning laboratory..."
Mashu said in surprise. Morpheus looked around and found that this was indeed a special spatial projection. It should be because this place was too closely related to Chaldea, so the summoning circle constructed in this place also directly replicated the summoning environment inside Chaldea.
"Call, call! Hello! Okay, the communication is restored!" A voice suddenly came, and a phantom appeared. It was Dr. Roman. The contact with the people in the singularity was restored, and Roman finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks for your hard work, the space has been fixed successfully. This will not only allow for communication, but also the delivery of supplies."
"Romani, what's the situation over there now? What's the damage?" Olga Marie came over and asked directly.
"Huh?! Chief? Are you still alive?!" Roman's eyes widened when he saw the man who suddenly appeared, as if he had seen a monster. "You didn't die in such a huge explosion? And you're completely unharmed? Is this true?!"
"What do you mean?!" Olga Marie shouted, but then, realizing she was already dead, she took a deep breath. "Roman, I'm asking you, why are you in this position in the medical department? Just how serious have the losses been?!"
"I'm the top official now. Everyone else is either dead or injured. In fact, I'm running between two places right now, managing communications here and treating the wounded." Roman immediately wailed, "Come back soon, Chief!"
Olga Marie's face darkened, and looking at Roman's anxious expression, she knew that things were definitely bad.
"Be more specific."
"There are currently less than twenty surviving regular Chaldea employees, including me, and I am currently the highest-ranking one."
Roman's words were like a bomb, exploding in Olga Marie's mind.
Roman continued, "Professor Leif was in the control room directing the transfer of spirit particles. That was right in the center of the explosion, and the chances of survival were extremely low."
This sentence made several people even more silent. As if they realized there was something wrong with what they said, Roman asked with some confusion: "Is there something wrong with what I said? Why do you all react like this?"
"Actually, Dr. Roman, Leif... Leif he..." said Ritsuka Fujimaru, hesitating whether to call him Mr. or Professor, or not to add any title.
At this time, Olga Marie spoke up herself: "Lef is not dead. He is the one who caused the explosion..."
"What?! Professor Leif is the one who caused this explosion?"
Dr. Roman exclaimed, as if he had never expected such a thing to happen.
Morpheus looked at Dr. Roman silently, his heart also immersed in speculation.
So, how much did Dr. Roman, or Solomon, really know? He must have seen the shattered future, which is why he supported Chaldea, but if he could really foresee everything, some things could have been completely avoided.
So, there may be other reasons that prevented King Solomon from foreseeing everything?
Morpheus thought for a moment and continued to look at Roman, some new speculations emerging in his mind.
Could it be that after giving up his position as King Solomon and wishing to become an ordinary person, all this happened? After all, Goetia's plan was essentially initiated because King Solomon gave up his own human form.
The moment King Solomon became Roman, he briefly foresaw the crisis that would occur in the future, but before he could see it clearly, he lost his own power, which resulted in him being unable to see what would happen next. Is this the case?
Morpheus touched his chin and continued to watch the conversation between Roman and Olga Marie.
Listening to Olga Marie telling Dr. Roman what had just happened, Dr. Roman felt as if his head had been swept by a Category 10 hurricane.
He looked at Morpheus and after a while said, "Are you a magician from the Age of Gods? Or a magician?"
"A genuine magician, but the title of God Age Magician... if I can say that my journey through the God Age has earned me the title, then that counts."
Roman shook his head. "To fight alongside the Greek gods against the giants, to defeat Typhon alongside Artemis—that's more than just a casual trip through the Age of the Gods can describe..."
"So Leif is really one of the Demon Pillars?!" Roman deliberately sounded indifferent about this question.
"Yes, a genuine Demon Pillar."
"I understand." Roman nodded slightly.
At this time, Olga Marie continued to give orders: "Alright, stop chatting. Roman, immediately start freezing those people in the spirit particle transfer device. Make sure they don't die!"
"Oh?! Yeah! There's this feature! I'll get it right away!" Roman nodded and rushed out immediately, while Olga Marie couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand. "I told you, he's not fit to be the general manager."
"That's shocking! Cryopreserving someone without their consent is a crime." Mashu said with a surprised expression.
Morpheus felt that Mashu was indeed dark and vicious in some ways.
But then she smiled again: "Yet you can make such a quick decision. Compared to worrying about your responsibilities as the director, you still value human life more."
"Don't talk nonsense. As long as you're not dead, there will always be a way to explain it clearly later!" Olga Marie said immediately.
"I think it's okay too." Morpheus nodded to express his approval.
Just when several people thought that Morpheus also valued human life, Morpheus touched his chin and said, "Anyway, when the time comes, we will give those who are not unconscious yet a big amnesia spell. As for the frozen people, they will no longer be frozen when they wake up. This is what they call not committing a crime if you don't see it!"
Several people suddenly fell into silence.
It seemed that they had been too naive just now.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm more surprised that an orthodox magician would value human life so much. I'm a little surprised." Morpheus shook his head and praised Olga Marie even more. "Old lunatics are gradually dying. As expected, fresh blood is still needed to replace them."
"Done!" Roman came back, breathless. He reported again, "Chaldea has lost 80% of its functions, and the remaining staff can only do very little. I plan to allocate personnel to three areas: repairing the spirit particle transfer and maintaining Chaldeas and Sheba.
"Once we regain contact with the outside world, we'll request supplies to rebuild Chaldea... That's the plan at this stage."
"Okay. I'll adopt the same formation if I'm there. Until I return, I'm counting on you! We'll continue investigating Singularity F in this city."
"Eh? Chief, aren't you scared in a place like the epicenter of an explosion?! Aren't you a coward?!"
Morpheus looked at Olga Marie in surprise at Roman's words, which also attracted the attention of Fujimaru Ritsuka. It seemed that he did not expect that this strong woman was actually a coward.
"...You're such a jerk! You always talk too much!" Olga Marie yelled, her cheeks flushing slightly again. Then she returned to normal and said, "Although I really want to go back, I have to wait until the soul transfer is repaired. And it will take you quite some time to complete it, right?"
As she spoke, her expression darkened a little: "Besides, I might not be able to go back..."
"Don't say that. The soul transfer will definitely complete the repair as quickly as possible. Don't worry!"
"I mean, I'm actually dead."
"Eh? Eh?!!!!!!!" Roman exclaimed, frightened by Olga Marie's words, but looking at Olga Marie's expression, it was obvious that she was not teasing him.
After a while, Roman said, "Really?"
"Really? Leif has confirmed it. He said that my soul is now protected by Chaldeas. Of course, according to Macremis..."
"Just call me Morpheus."
"According to Morpheus, he was the one who protected my soul. But no matter who protected it, I will probably have to stay inside Chaldeas and survive in this special space..."
Roman was in a dilemma: "But, if we solve Singularity F, then wouldn't that mean..."
"Please don't be so sad yet. Let me say a few words." Morpheus suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two. He said helplessly, "I didn't say you can't go out. There are just two situations. One is to fall into a deep sleep and then sleep until I wake you up. This is similar to keeping the soul in complete protection, like a fetus on the placenta."
This metaphor made Olga Marie frown.
"The other is to imitate the existence mode of the Servant, relying on magic to keep you in the outside world. Although your soul will definitely not become as powerful as the Servant, your own soul is also tainted, and it is impossible for you to gain any powerful abilities."
"What do you mean my soul is dirty?!" Olga Marie exploded. She felt that Morpheus was deliberately trying to piss her off.
Finally, Morpheus spread his hands and said: "Not only your soul, but my soul is also dirty."
"You're going to drag yourself down after you've insulted me?!"
"Hear me out first. Forget it... whether it's dirty or not doesn't matter right now." Morpheus shook his head. "Anyway, what I mean is that it doesn't matter if your soul stays in the real world. At most, you'll just be a ghost."
Having said that, Morpheus quickly finished what he was going to say. "So what I mean is, I can let you sign a contract with me. You become my Servant, and I will provide you with magic power, allowing you to move freely within reality and the singularity."
Which method should she choose? If possible, she would like to choose the first method, sleep until she wakes up and own her own body.
But Olga Marie hesitated only for a moment and chose the second option.
Even though she didn't want to sign a contract with this annoying guy in front of her, she even wanted him to become her master.
"You won't give me orders casually, will you?"
"It's just a very simple contract. I don't need to use the Command Seals. As for the establishment of the contract, you can also call someone to oversee it. If there are any problems, we don't have to continue." Morpheus said, spreading his hands. "Also, you can stay within Chaldea. I think this should be the most suitable for you. After all, you can still be in charge."
Now that things have come to this, there is no choice left.
The second one is the most suitable.
"Okay, I choose to be a ghost first!"
Olga Marie finished speaking, and she saw the corners of Morpheus' mouth curl up.
She suddenly felt a little regretful. Could this guy be hiding some conspiracy?!
Chapter 129: Solomon's Ring
"Okay, while we're at it, why don't we discuss things about Chaldea? Honestly, I was tricked by Leif the moment I came here. Do you want to explain to me what's going on, such as the purpose of the various facilities within Chaldea?"
Morpheus said, suppressing the corners of his mouth that were raised.
He was very happy that Olga Marie had chosen this, and the reason was simple.
It is better to save trouble than to worry about the trouble. Olga Marie was originally the director of Chaldea, and was definitely more suitable to be the commander here than Roman, even if Roman was King Solomon in the past. The current Roman is not omniscient. Even if his level is really high enough, if he wants to manage this place well, he must figure out many details that he didn't know before.
In this regard, Olga Marie is different. After many years of career as director, she is familiar with Chaldea to a degree that Roman cannot compare to. One is the branch area, and the other is the overall situation. He needs someone who can grasp the direction of Chaldea from a global perspective.
That’s where Olga Marie comes in.
It's fine to let him expend magic power to supply an AI to analyze the situation on its own and then lead Chaldea forward, but forget it if he has to use his own brain to lead Chaldea forward. He would rather just fight his way through.
"Yes, you know even less than Fujimaru Ritsuka." Olga Marie said, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Do you remember what I said during my speech? Tell Morpheus about it."
Fujimaru Ritsuka: o((⊙﹏⊙))o
Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's confused expression, Olga Marie couldn't help but wail: "Please, remember it for me, don't you really remember anything?!"
"Let me explain," Mashu said at this time, "When the director was explaining the use of Chaldea, he said...
"It's a feat comparable to humanity's achievements in metallurgy, the rise of religion, the development of navigation, the information revolution, and space exploration. No, it's even greater than these..."
As Mashu clearly repeated what Olga Marie had said at that time, she added one more sentence at the end.
"That's how you were kicked out, Senior."
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed expression of Fujimaru Ritsuka, Morpheus once again confirmed that Mashu was indeed a sinister person.
Morpheus finally understood what he had said, and he summarized it roughly: "In fact, this means that Sheba, who observes the future, and Chaldeas, who exists as a main brain, are essentially observing the past as well as the future.
"If there are lights on Earth in the future, it means civilization exists. However, if there are no lights, it means the end of human civilization. You observed that the lights of civilization disappeared from Earth in 2016. So you investigated the situation and discovered that something went wrong in Fuyuki City in 2004. You designated it as Singularity F and sent people to investigate. You forcibly altered the area to prevent the observed future from becoming reality."
"That's right, that's right. Chaldea was established to keep the flame of humanity going and to ensure the future of human existence! Our fundamental purpose in Chaldea is to protect human civilization!" Olga Marie said immediately, and she looked extremely proud when she said these words.
"But, I'm saying, it's just a possibility..." Morpheus said, "Is it possible that the destruction of humanity in the future is due to Chaldea?"
A simple guess made several people fall into a daze, even Roman on the other end of the communicator fell into deep thought.
"No, that's impossible. Chaldea is for the continuation of humanity. How could it possibly lead to its destruction?!" Olga Marie immediately shook her head, frantically denying the possibility. Seeing this, Morpheus smiled and said, "That's true. After all, this is the greatest crystallization of human wisdom since ancient times."
He glanced at Roman, who was lost in thought, and then said, "Alright, let's get on with it. Let's take care of this first and change the future of humanity's extinction!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately nodded and said, "Yes, we should first work on changing the future of human destruction. This is the most important thing! Just like the director said, protecting the principles of humanity is also protecting the principles of humanity."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Morpheus and pondered what she had just said.
As an ordinary human being, she has been exposed to many more modern novels and movies than magicians. There are endless human imagination novels, and what Morpheus said just now actually has similar reflections in many novels.
This kind of thing is not impossible, but for the director of Chaldea, this blow is too great, even if it is just a guess.
What you think can help others turns out to be the culprit that destroys everything. Anyone in that position would not be able to bear it.
