Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

“Drip—drip—”

At this moment, another call came from Fujimaru Ritsuka, but Shul's thoughts were not disturbed by it.

The latter simply moved the calculation process to the background and immediately established communication.

"Xuer, are you done with your work?"

"Answer, it's not over yet."

Xiuer thought about it and felt confused. He had clearly already solved the enemy for them, so why did Fujimaru Ritsuka still call him?

You can't be thinking that he's omnipotent and you just look for his advice when you're in trouble, right?

That won’t do. You have a think tank like Leonardo da Vinci by your side, so don’t come to me for everything.

Although he was unwilling to get into trouble, Xiuer still chose to listen to the other party's reasons for looking for him at this time.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, I did come to you because I had something to ask..."

On the other end of the line, Fujimaru Ritsuka paused, as if confirming what he was about to say.

"Our communication with Chaldea has been cut off again."

"No, I didn't deploy any signal blocking devices."

"No, no, no, I don't think it was you, Shuul, who did it. I just wanted to ask if there is any way to recover?"

After all, in the last world, Shuul had blocked their communication with Chaldea.

Conventional information blocking is nothing unusual, but directly blocking links to other worlds like Shuul did is extremely rare.

That's why Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't immediately suspect that he was being interfered with.

After listening to the other party's story, Xiuer couldn't help but question the reliability of Chaldea's equipment.

"Answer it. Press the button on the bottom of the device. That will connect you directly to Roman's channel."

"Ah, seriously, thank you, Shuul! You're so well prepared!"

"drop--"

"..."

Xiuer hung up the call with Fujimaru Ritsuka somewhat helplessly and focused his attention back on the present.

While he was chatting with the boy, the progress of the inquiry into the Whispering Chapter was quietly completed.

"The Great Complex Temple of Glory..."...the residence of the Sun King Osmanthus?

It seems that this pyramid has a very important origin.

Now, not only did Xuer know the information about this wonder, but he also got the information about its owner.

He is a servant, and a very powerful one at that. This palace is not only his residence, but also his treasure.

To be honest, Xiuer wants to go up and analyze it right now.

If he hadn't made that agreement with the people of Chaldea...

Just as Xuer was considering whether to launch an attack directly, his radar suddenly showed several life forms moving towards him at high speed.

And that direction...

"?"

Seeing this, Xiuer was also a little surprised. There were actually other living people in this place?

Even people who came out of that temple.

Due to the influence of the sandstorm, it is impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly with the naked eye. After all, this place is close to the temple. If you use your ability to change the weather at will, it is impossible not to be discovered by others.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Xiuer relied on the drones he launched and the detectors to assist in observing the surroundings.

With the reaction of several lives in the radar, they were approaching Xuer at high speed. At this time, Xuer also observed several strange figures wearing black robes and skull masks in the drone picture above.

One of them was carrying a purple-haired woman who seemed unconscious.

It was a bit strange. Looking at this group of people who were running away in panic, Xiuer discovered something unusual.

He immediately zoomed in on the image and focused his attention on the unconscious woman.

Then he discovered that the woman's hands and feet were tied and her mouth was gagged with a cloth.

Kidnapping?

Although I don't know the truth, this is the only word that can describe this scene.

Seeing this, Xiuer, who originally wanted to avoid them, immediately changed his plan and stood there waiting for the group to arrive.

This group of people moved very quickly. Xuer had just waited for less than a minute when a group of black shadows of various sizes appeared in his field of vision.

"who!"

The leading man in black stopped immediately, and the people behind him also stopped one after another.

Judging from the voice, it seems that the leader is a woman.

Without exception, this group of people all wore black robes and skull masks of the same style.

They all held different types of weapons in their hands, and looked slightly similar to the kidnappers that Xuer had in mind.

"..."

Xiuer did not respond, but just observed the group in silence.

His action also provided the leading person with an opportunity to see his appearance clearly.

"It's a child?!"

Looking at Xiuer's expressionless face, the leader was very surprised.

Although Xiuer is not very short, his appearance is actually quite childish, so much so that people who don't know him may misunderstand his age at first glance.

She was originally surprised by Xuer's appearance, but in the next second she saw Xuer's face and the mechanical suit on his head.

Only then did she realize how special Xiuer was.

"No, how could there be a child alone in a place like this?"

The leader immediately drew his weapon and pointed it at Xiuer in front of him.

"They're using a powerful bombardment to block our path, while also deploying soldiers behind us. As expected of the Sun King."

"Originally, if we could capture the Queen, those monsters wouldn't attack us, but that's useless against humans."

Xiuer listened to the other party's subconscious complaints and silently noted down the information in his words.

Queen?

Is that the name they call the hostages?

Forget it, except for the leader, we are just a group of mortals, so let’s end this quickly.

—【Opening the Classic】—【Pojun Songstress】—

The device above Xiuer's head quietly unfolded slightly, emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Just as the leader in black was about to rush towards Xuer with a knife in hand, a melodious music suddenly sounded amidst the wind of the sandstorm.

The beautiful and melodious music easily reached the ears of the kidnappers, making them slightly stunned.

"What's this……?!"

A sudden dizziness swept through the bandit leader's brain, and she almost fell asleep. Fortunately, she managed to hold on with her own will.

But her companions were not so lucky.

Before she could react to what was happening, her companions behind her fell to the ground one by one.

Puff.

Nine of the ten bandits fell in an instant.

Only the leader was still standing there, his face beneath the skull mask filled with fear.

call--

The huge sandstorm did not interfere with the ability of the Pojun singer. The originally beautiful music had become a death warrant from hell in the ears of this leader.

"..."

Xuul just glanced casually at the only person standing, and seeing that he was exhausted just from maintaining consciousness, he no longer cared about him.

He walked over to the other nine people who had fainted.

After capturing them all and detaining them, he walked up to the leader.

"you……"

At this moment, the other party didn't even have the strength to speak.

Seeing this, Xuer didn't want to listen to the other party's nonsense, so he knocked him out directly, took him into critical position, and took away a dragon.

In the past, if Xuer encountered the kidnappers, he would most likely choose to massacre the scene directly, but now it is different. He came with a group of others, and this group of kidnappers also has the function of providing world intelligence.

Therefore, he planned to bring those people to discuss a solution with Fujimaru Ritsuka and others.

After doing all this, Xuel turned his attention to the bronze-skinned, purple-haired girl lying on the sand.

The animal ears on the other person's head clearly indicated that he was not an ordinary person.

"..."

Xiuer still remembered that the kidnappers called the girl "Queen".

Plus, that group of people ran out of that temple, it's hard not to make people think of something.

Are you saying that when I was being cautious and didn't rush in, this group of kidnappers sneaked into the temple and kidnapped the person who was suspected to be of noble status?

This made Xiuer admire the skills of the kidnappers.

After confirming that the girl's life was not in danger, Xuer untied her and tore off the cloth from her mouth.

"Wu... Pharaoh..."

Wow, he looks like he’s sleeping soundly, even talking in his sleep.

Seeing this, Xiuer did not wake the other person up, but used magic to suspend him, and immediately opened a passage leading to Fujimaru Ritsuka's location.

As for that temple.

Xiuer has already recorded the coordinates, and if he wants to come back later, he can come back anytime.

Now it's time to meet up with Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others.

I don't know what the situation is like over there in the past few minutes.

……

----

……

"So you arrested them?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru pointed at a group of men in black who were lying unconscious on the ground. Although each of them had a different body shape, they all wore the same style of skull mask.

The young man looked at the group of people with some embarrassment, because he had recognized their identities from their external trade characteristics.

But Xiuer didn't care about all that. He only saw that the other party kidnapped a girl, and a girl with a prominent background.

"Of course, they did kidnap me, so I was acting bravely."

"Ha, I'm so glad you didn't kill me."

Ritsuka Fujimaru sighed helplessly. Sometimes he still couldn't understand the meaning of some of Shul's actions.

At the same time, Da Vinci came to the purple-haired beauty who was sleeping soundly and was placed aside by Xiuer, and observed her sleeping face.

"Hmm... who is this beautiful Sleeping Beauty?"

"Answer: This is Nitocris, the queen of the Sixth Dynasty of Ancient Egypt."

Xiuer stated the other person's identity very calmly, and it seemed that he was talking about an ordinary person.

In contrast to the calm Xiuer, several people present expressed surprise at the same time.
