Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

But after all, this is the other party's rule, so there's nothing we can do about it.

"Ugh--"

The boy sighed and could only accept Nito's statement.

After all, they had their reasons for having to contact the Pharaoh.

Because in this brief one-hour contact, they discovered a lot of abnormal information from what Neto revealed.

The biggest anomaly is that the owner of the temple, Pharaoh Ozymandias, is also one of the anomalies who was "summoned" to this era.

The Pharaoh used his great power to turn the land that originally belonged to Jerusalem into countless yellow sands under his feet.

This person is most likely the culprit that caused the formation of this singularity.

"I understand."

"Well, it's best if you understand."

Nito nodded, satisfied with the boy's sincerity.

"Then without further ado, let's get started now!"

"Eh?!"

However, just as Nito was about to give orders to the divine beast beside her, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Inquiry, what are you going to do?"

……

……

a few minutes ago

"Inquiry, now you still want to go to that holy city alone?"

Xuul looked at the disappointed knight in front of him with a calm expression.

The other party's brief summary omitted a lot of details and only revealed the most important and key part.

But as if revealing the pain of the past, one of the Knights of the Round Table under the Knight King's command was now filled with self-blame.

"That was indeed my original plan before I met you."

Bedivere's words were suggestive. He looked ahead with a sincere expression at the blue-purple doll standing on the sand dune.

This puppet forcefully entered his field of vision and forcibly revealed a shocking piece of information before him.

"But now it's different. I've discovered another possible path."

Although Bedivere would not change his original plan because of this incident, he would not miss any possible "better options" at the moment.

He fully agreed with the other person's words: "Being alone is not a good idea."

Even he himself knew that at a time when the king had already forgotten himself, it would be extremely difficult for him to sneak into the Holy City on his own.

Even if you manage to sneak in, you will still face obstruction from your colleagues.

It can be said that without external help, Bedivere would have no chance of survival.

He was not afraid of death. Rather, when he chose to perform his duties, he embarked on a road of no return with no chance of survival.

Bedivere clutched his right arm.

Xiuer calmly observed the expression and actions of the silver-white knight.

The abnormalities of this world far exceeded his expectations.

Not only this desert, and the Pharaoh Ozymandias who should not exist in this era, but also the other prosperous country outside the desert, in this end land - the Holy City.

The course of history has deviated seriously, and the crisis Roman mentioned is not terrible.

If left unchecked, it will cause irreparable damage to human nature.

Should we say it's worthy of being EX-class?

The ratings in this world are extreme, and EX is an untraceable level.

Bedivere revealed a lot of information, including the Knights of the Round Table summoned by the king.

Shuel had seen one of the Knights of the Round Table.

The crimson rebellious knight left a faint impression in Xuer's memory.

Therefore, Shuel also developed the same interest in the other Knights of the Round Table.

If he hadn't made a promise with Fujimaru Ritsuka to "meet up soon", he might have chosen to go to the holy city directly with Bedivere.

As for now, it's time to return.

A golden vortex immediately appeared behind him. Bedivere recognized it; it was the "magic" used by the other party to transfer space.

Before leaving, Xuel didn't say anything, but just gave the knight a look, indicating that he should follow.

Bedivere, who had already prepared to form a companion, naturally did not refuse the invitation. He followed Shul's steps without hesitation and walked into the vortex together.

……

Chapter 17: Split into Two Groups

"Inquiry, what are you going to do?"

Staring at the suddenly frozen purple figure, Xiuer, who had just walked out of the space channel, immediately asked about the current situation.

"Ah, Xiuer is back."

Because of the angle, Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was standing in front of Nito, was able to see the entire process of the space channel opening. Seeing the familiar blue-purple doll return, the boy shouted with joy.

The attention that was originally focused on Nito was also drawn to him when the former returned.

Although saying this sounds a bit dependent on the other party, he couldn't help but sigh that as long as Xiuer came back, everything would be fine.

This was the boy's thought after being impressed by the doll's reliability in this short period of time.

"Eh? Who is this...?"

Before he could be happy for a few seconds, a strange figure followed Xiuer's steps and walked out.

Seeing the figure of the knight dressed in silver, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little curious.

Xuer's behavioral logic is that he will not do meaningless things. He chooses to bring back a stranger now. There must be some deep meaning in this.

"..."

Xiuer did not answer, but just glanced at Bedivere beside him and asked him to introduce himself.

He himself was observing the sphinx beside Nito.

The divine beast that had been standing calmly beside Nito suddenly became alert. The human face with a golden mask quickly turned its head and confronted Xuul.

Nito, who froze first, could also feel the tension of the divine beast beside him.

"My name is……"

As he was speaking, Bedivere suddenly glanced at Nito beside him.

The pharaoh was frozen in place at this moment because of Xuul's sudden return. Her clothes were enough for the knight to identify her.

"My name is Lucius. Excuse me, you must be Fujimaru Ritsuka, right?"

He looked around at the people present, and finally, his gaze stopped on the only man there.

"you know me?"

The boy pointed at himself in confusion.

The strange knight spoke his name as soon as he opened his mouth. Ritsuka Fujimaru subconsciously thought that the other party knew him, but he regretted it after asking this question.

After all, he had just arrived in this world, so how could any local know him?

Besides, the other party came back with Xiuer, so it might be Xiuer who told him.

But once words are spoken, they are like spilled water, which cannot be taken back.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's face immediately turned a little shy.

As expected, as soon as the question was asked, Xuul, who was originally observing the Sphinx, immediately turned his attention to the young man.

It was as if he was saying, "Are you okay?"

"No."

Fortunately, Bedivere just smiled and didn't embarrass the boy any further.

"I heard this name from Lord Xiuer."

Because of Fujimaru Ritsuka's subconscious call just now, Bedivere was able to know the name of the doll next to him.

After he finished speaking, Xiuer beside him nodded, acknowledging his statement.

"Surely, he is the 'strange individual' I mentioned earlier."

"Explanation, the unknown has now been discovered, the matter is over, as agreed, I am back."

Still so concise and clear.

It was obvious that he didn't want to make any unnecessary explanations, so he chose to blurt it out before anyone else asked.

Of course, this behavior is only limited to companions.

"Oh! Welcome back!"

Even though he had only been away for less than an hour, Fujimaru Ritsuka still responded excitedly as if he hadn't seen him for a long time.

If Xuer had not recorded the other person's mentally exhausted appearance, he might really doubt whether this young man possessed unlimited energy.

But the cheerful atmosphere did not last long, and the returning puppets once again took control of the entire team.

Nito and Bedivere were left aside, but for some reason, the originally calm Shuul suddenly cast a scrutinizing gaze on the boy.

Being stared at like that by the other party, Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little at a loss for what to do.

"Inquiry, why enable the beacon?"

After all, the device worn on Fujimaru Ritsuka's wrist was made by Shuul, and many functions were added to it at the beginning of its production due to countless considerations.

Apart from anything else, just by enabling the functions of the device, he can monitor it remotely and seamlessly.

During his contact with Bedivere, Shul received a beacon-generated signal from the device.

At that time, he was ready to abandon the knight and take off into the air to wait for the beacon.

Although he did so in the end, after thinking about it for a second, the result was that he was stood up.

It can be said that Fujimaru Ritsuka was right to be worried. If he had failed to catch it, Shuul's attack would have immediately covered the entire team.

"Ahaha, that was a misunderstanding..."

The hot sun hit the boy, causing countless drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

Misunderstand?

After receiving this answer, Shuul glanced at the monster next to Nito.

Well, just by briefly observing the scene, he was able to deduce roughly what happened.

Most likely, the monster scared Ritsuka Fujimaru, causing him to subconsciously choose to activate the beacon, and then quickly cancel it.

A golden light appeared in Xuer's eyes as he was looking for information about the creature.

"So, may I ask why Mr. Lucius chose to be with Shuel?"

Leonardo da Vinci, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, finally chose to join the conversation.

She nodded and greeted Bedivere with a smile on her face, and the friendly smile made the latter feel relaxed.

Although he appeared friendly on the surface, Leonardo's heart was filled with curiosity about the Silver-Armed Knight.

Because of his self-destructive name - Lucius.

If Leonardo da Vinci's memory is correct, this name should be the enemy of King Arthur mentioned in "History of the Kings of Britain", the Roman Emperor at the time "Lucius Tiberius".

But no matter what, she could not see even a trace of the emperor in him.
