Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Xiuer nodded.

He walked to the front of the passage first, as if ready to take the lead.

After all, the holy city is on the other side of the passage.

It's just that because this "door" has been open for a long time, the area opposite it is no longer the same as before.

Before walking in, Xiuer detected something unusual on the other side of the door. After a brief perception, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his originally cold face.

"Reminder, be prepared to engage the enemy."

"?"

After saying this, Shule plunged into the whirlpool with Fufu on his shoulders, leaving the Silver-Armed Knight puzzled by his words.

The bluish-purple figure disappeared into the golden vortex.

Seeing this, Bedivere no longer thought about the meaning of Xuer's words. He naturally would not leave the other party alone.

……

----

……

Passing through the touchless golden vortex.

Bedivere looked up and saw several heavily armored knights holding various weapons surrounding the golden passage in a fan shape.

And Xuul, who was leading the charge, was holding the purple giant sword and stepping on the knight in the same attire who had his hands chopped off.

Where is this place?

Bedivere was a little confused.

He quickly looked around and found that he and the others were now in a street and alley with European medieval architectural style.

You can even faintly hear laughter coming from the street next door.

It is in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere here.

"Answer: This place is in the Holy City."

As he spoke, Xuel didn't care about Bedivere's reaction. Several arrows shot out from the encirclement array, and Xuel and Bedivere, who arrived late, were included in the attack range.

Seeing this, the latter hurriedly drew his sword to fight.

But before he could take any action, the puppet responded first.

Xuel immediately raised his hand to deploy a shield, and when the opponent launched a long-range attack, he immediately smashed the purple giant sword into the body of the knight under his feet.

The seemingly solid armor was cut into a horrifying crack like butter under the purple sword blade.

Xuul immediately raised his sword and moved the knight's body like hitting a baseball, throwing the opponent directly into the encircling array.

boom--!

The disabled knight crashed into the formation, hitting several enemies, and then a huge purple sword energy followed, instantly passing through the waists of the knights present.

Click! ! !

All enemies who were cut by the sword energy were beheaded in the next moment.

After a series of clattering sounds of armor falling to the ground, this group of "headless knights" along with their armor turned into magic quantum dots and dissipated into the air.

After quickly dealing with the enemy, Xuul retracted his weapon and looked behind him to see Bedivere who was still unaware of the situation.

……

Chapter 19: Shuul's Infiltration Operation

For Bedivere, the battle started suddenly but ended quickly.

Because there were so few of them, less than six knights, it was obvious that these enemies were just guards near this street.

Xiuer acted extremely quickly, not giving this group of people any chance to ask for help.

However, after the battle that had just started ended, Bedivere discovered that the environment was strange.

Although the battle that Xuer just fought ended quickly, the noise it caused was not small.

But for some reason, the commotion did not attract more guards.

You know, this is inside the holy city!

Bedivere knew that everything in this city was within the king's perception, so how could he be indifferent to the fact that Shul killed the guards?

"Answer, don't worry, this place is my territory."

After analyzing the information of these guards, Xuel explained the reason to the confused Bedivere.

When he opened the channel, he used the Samsara Paradise to divide the space opposite the channel into areas at the same time.

This was to prevent their actions of intruding from directly alarming the being sitting on the throne.

And those guards just now were also captured by Xiuer on purpose.

"Your field?"

Bedivere was a little confused.

Seeing this, Xiuer said nothing, but just raised his hand and waved gently.

In the blink of an eye, all the surrounding buildings collapsed and turned into white "mud". The originally blue sky also quickly faded and became "daytime" in the literal sense with this change.

"Is this, an inherent barrier?"

Bedivere looked at the white plain rapidly receding in surprise. At this moment, there was no holy city anymore. There was nothing else except the endless white land as far as the eye could see.

"..."

Xuerta agreed with this statement. After all, the existence of criticality is indeed somewhat similar to the inherent barrier, and the name of the inherent barrier can be borrowed.

"Surely, in this space, we don't have to worry about being discovered."

After taking back Aosagong, the blue-purple puppet raised its hand and waved again.

The originally dispersed scenery returned again, as if in rewind, white mud burst out on the spot, quickly solidified, and buildings rose from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the hidden back alley of the holy city street was back at their feet, and the bustling sounds of the prosperous city returned to their surroundings.

"Fu~"

Fu Fu on Xiuer's shoulder was also amazed by the scene.

"Additionally, this back alley is a replica I created based on the Holy City's urban layout."

To put it bluntly, this space is an inner world environment that completely overlaps with the real holy city. As the master of this space, Xuel can deliberately choose who to let in and who to kick out.

Unless facing an enemy that can break the space, Xuer is an unselectable existence in the critical state.

And when executing it, the chosen person will not be aware that he or she has entered and exited this space unconsciously.

For example, those guard knights just now.

Because he discovered that there were many innocent civilians living in the holy city, all of Shuul's actions from beginning to end were intentionally intended to avoid harming civilians.

Hence, this plan was made.

But at the moment, he couldn't be sure whether the abnormality in the city would be sensed by the being on the throne.

After all, to the outside world, those knights were equivalent to evaporating on the spot. If the Lion King really knew everything in the city, then this group of soldiers who disappeared unexpectedly would also become an opportunity for Xuer to be exposed.

After all, when the city was really transferred, Xuer was present in person and was able to find out the situation of the city through functional tests of the body.

For example, the group of guards he had just dealt with were obviously not ordinary humans.

In addition, the way he disintegrates into magic quantum upon death is somewhat similar to that of a servant. This is why he analyzes these miscellaneous soldiers who are obviously not strong enough in combat after fighting.

"Inquiry, Bedivere, do you know the true situation of this city?"

To be on the safe side, Shul wanted to know the content of Bedivere's intelligence.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Xiuer. Before I set out for the Holy City, I received instructions from someone. I know everything about the Holy City."

"……for you."

The puppet walked up to Bedivere, and under his curious gaze, raised his hand and handed a miniature cube to him.

Looking at the block covered with golden patterns, the Silver-Armed Knight did not refuse and took it in his hand with some curiosity.

"what is this?"

The latter could clearly see the specialness of this object, and the item given to him by the doll at this time was definitely not useless.

"Answer: A miniature "space teleporter" that allows you to teleport over short distances."

This is a small device that Xiuer temporarily built.

Its function is just as he said, it can perform short-distance space transfer.

Of course, its specific function is to allow Bedivere to select a location in the critical simulated street of the holy city, and then transfer him to the corresponding location in the real holy city in the outside world.

"Additional information: This is limited to the Holy City."

To put it bluntly, the reason why this effect can be achieved is simply because the critical point here is highly overlapped with this city.

In fact, it’s not that he can only make such inferior products, it’s simply that Bedivere only needs this level of skill.

"To use it, channel your magic power into this object. The device will then automatically activate and take you in or out of this space."

"Your Excellency, are you just going to give me such a precious thing?"

"..."

Xiuer ignored this remark. He didn't want to explain too much. He just wanted to explain the functions and precautions clearly.

"Inquiry, are you going directly to the throne next?"

"..."

Faced with his question, Bedivere hesitated for a moment.

It seems that there are still many concerns troubling this silver-armed knight who is entrusted with an important task.

"Please let me go on my own. I'm sorry I can't accompany you any longer."

"..."

The original reason why Xuer tried to win over the other party was that he was unable to enter the holy city alone.

And now, thanks to the former's help, Bedivere was able to avoid obstacles along the way and reach his goal directly. Naturally, he would choose to go alone for his goal.

In response, the puppet did not deny the knight's choice.

The other party has his own responsibilities and he will not express any opinions.

Besides, what he is going to do next will enable him to better utilize his abilities when he is away from Bedivere.

Therefore, no matter what the reason, Shuel had no reason to stop Bedivere.

Moreover, through the information from the Whispering Pianzhi, he also learned that the knight would meet the end of his life the moment he completed his duty.

After all, the Bedivere in front of him was not a normal human being, nor was he a Servant.

Just like the king, he was born under the wrong historical trend and is an individual who exists in the wrong way.

The reason why Shuul previously regarded its energy reaction as that of a servant was simply because the difference in the characteristic reactions of the two was not obvious.

He nodded, said nothing more, and immediately turned and walked towards the exit of the alley.

Looking at the blue-purple figure gradually moving away, Bedivere tightly gripped the cube in his hand. After watching the other person's figure disappear at the exit of the alley, he turned around and rushed towards the palace in the holy city.

……

Shuul, dressed in a white Chaldean uniform, strolled on the deserted streets of the holy city.

The fake sunlight shone on Shul's head, illuminating his blue-purple hair with colorful light.

Da...da...

The iron heels made a crisp sound when stepping on the cobblestone street, but this tiny sound was drowned out by the laughter all around.

Because it is the "different space/critical space" created by Shuul using angels, the scenery here is a one-to-one replica of the outside world. The scenery on both sides of the street undoubtedly reveals the prosperity of this city, which is in sharp contrast to the dilapidated land outside.

But because it was in a critical situation, although there were the sounds of countless people laughing, there was not a single living person in sight, which revealed a hint of weirdness.
