Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

At this time, Mashu also came to the boy and took the white little beast into her arms.

"Fu~Fu~"

Fufu, who was held in Mashu's arms, let out a few soft moans and rubbed the girl's face a few times very intimately.

"It seems that when the spirit particle transfer was carried out before, Fu Fu was probably with Xiu Er."

Just by observing, he was able to guess the general truth. Even Xuer had to admire the thinking of this genius.

However, compared to Fu Fu, Ms. Da Vinci's attention was obviously focused on Xiuer.

Looking at the puppet in front of him whose hair changed from purple to white, the genius' eyes were full of curiosity, and he looked as if he wanted to study the other party carefully.

Fortunately, because the person in front of him was his companion, and he himself had good qualities, Leonardo da Vinci immediately suppressed his "curiosity".

"Cough cough..."

She cleared her throat a few times and calmed herself down.

At the same time, it also attracted the attention of the rest of the people.

……

Chapter 35 Intelligence

Back then, the owner of this holy city quickly wiped out all surrounding forces within a few years. During that time, people could often see the "divine punishment" falling from the sky and easily destroying a city or country.

Now, the only force on this land that can compete with the Lord of the Desert Temple is the one who can compete with them. Apart from that, the people hiding in the mountains are also secretly fighting against the two families.

People were afraid of the Lion King's sanctions and the wrath of the Lord of the Desert, and no one dared to touch the conflicting point between the two forces.

However, due to the Lion King's years of conquest, divine punishment often descended upon the earth, causing the land on which people depended for survival to become increasingly devastated, and the number of refugees also increased day by day.

In the end, under the pressure of survival, people had no choice but to join the existing forces at the risk of death.

Among these three few powerful forces, Rao Holy City is the first destination considered by many refugees.

Because every month the Holy City holds a "Holy Ba" ceremony presided over by the Lion King himself, and those who are chosen will get a place to live in the Holy City.

And this quota does not distinguish between high and low status. As long as you are chosen by the lion, you can live in the holy city and live a life of food and clothing from then on.

Therefore, it also attracted the majority of refugees who had nowhere to go to seek asylum. Although they were afraid of the majesty of the Lion King, they also mustered up the courage to come and try under the pressure of life.

After all, it's a good idea to take a chance. What if you get chosen?

If you are not selected, think of other ways.

This has also attracted the attention of countless businessmen.

Because this city is rumored to allow its residents to live a happy life without worries about food and clothing, it must have a huge demand for supplies.

In this land, in addition to refugees, there are also people who make a living by traveling for business.

Most of them traveled around as traveling merchants.

And thus, this holy city became a "potential customer" in the eyes of these businessmen.

So compared to the refugees who came here to seek shelter, these merchants who also came to the holy city just wanted to exchange some resources here.

Therefore, before the "Holy Baal Ceremony" begins every month, countless people come to the gate of this holy city and wait like pilgrims.

But these people don't know how cruel this so-called "holy extraction ceremony" really is...

……

In an area thousands of miles away from the Holy City, is where the Chaldean group is at the moment.

This place is far away from the Holy City. If the Lion King wants to continue launching "sanctions", it will be difficult for him to hit the target without anyone locating the coordinates, especially this group of highly mobile people.

The dark night enveloped the sky, and the shining stars glowed faintly in the darkness.

The pale moonlight shines on the lifeless and dilapidated earth, creating a desolate atmosphere.

The violent gale quickly decayed into a gentle breeze after the holy spear that illuminated the world disappeared. A refreshing cool breeze blew from afar, brushing past the few people.

The bright moonlight spread over the earth, becoming the only source of light in this wasteland shrouded in darkness.

The desolate atmosphere also spread to the five people, but was quickly dispersed by the active few people.

Xiuer glanced into the distance. Beside him, Ritsuka Fujimaru was still happily reporting to him about his previous experiences and gains, which felt like a "practical report".

Leonardo da Vinci stood beside him, supplementing and explaining some of the boy's words.

The two of them chatted with each other and soon presented Xuer with a vivid and vivid journey to the desert temple.

At this time, he had already withdrawn from the combat state and had "retracted" the halo above his head long before the "report meeting" began.

But he had not yet withdrawn his weapons, so he was still dressed in white, standing in the dark, making him particularly conspicuous. The darkness of the night could not cover his figure at all.

"Yeah……"

As a listener, Xiuer did not pay attention here.

The breeze blew through his long, pure white hair, and the soft white hair fluttered in the air. Combined with the pure white dress that also danced in the wind, his entire temperament changed, and he was like a completely different person from his normal state.

If it weren't for Shuul's very distinctive eyes that were impressive enough, Fujimaru Ritsuka almost wouldn't have recognized him.

The former's gaze passed over the two people in front of him and was cast on Mashu, who was standing not far away with the Silver-Armed Knight and looking at the holy city in the distance.

The breeze blew up the ends of their hair, causing the different colored hair to sway around their faces.

The soft moonlight fell on the purple-haired girl in armor, revealing the expression on her face. Her small mouth kept opening and closing, as if she was talking to the silver-armed knight in front of her.

The silver knight looked serious, as if the girl's words had caused him to think deeply.

The two of them were far apart, and with the voices of two other people in his ears, Shul would not have been able to hear the conversation between the girl and the knight under normal circumstances.

However, he was not actually interested in the content of the conversation between the two.

Then, Shul's eyes moved a little more, his gaze moved away from Mashu and moved to the holy city in the distance.

He could see that under the moonlight, there were a large number of sparsely scattered "black spots" on the wasteland. A closer look would reveal that those "black spots" were actually living people.

At this moment, the people scattered around the holy city all bowed and worshipped in the direction of the holy city, feeling like they were on a pilgrimage.

On this barren land, everything is strange.

Among them, some people were dressed differently from the hungry and cold refugees. They were traveling merchants from other regions.

Those businessmen even piled up their own money in front of them, as if intending to make offerings.

Xiuer raised his brows slightly and looked at this strange scene with curiosity.

The refugees who survived near the holy city are still offering the best words of praise they can think of to the unknown "angel" who saved their lives.

When they were rescued, this group of people even piled their goods and money on the ground and made prayer gestures with great piety.

It seems that in order to show sincerity, these items are offered to the life-saving "angel".

But Xuer didn't know this. After all, relying on the convenience of space transfer, his current routes of action, apart from the desert at the beginning, were only Chaldea and the holy city.

Naturally, he also didn't know what his heroic act of shattering the divine punishment meant to those people.

Of course, even if he was not paying attention, Shule's receiver was still working well, and he listened to the reports of Da Vinci and Fujimaru Ritsuka in their entirety.

However, the way he looked at the moment made it hard for people to think that he was listening carefully.

Therefore, someone gradually stopped talking and approached quietly.

"Are you curious about what those people are doing?"

Suddenly, a soft voice came from my ear.

Leonardo da Vinci walked to Xiuer's side and looked at the countless kneeling figures in the distance with the latter.

Although the puppet always had an indifferent expression on its face, Leonardo da Vinci still read "curiosity" from its actions.

"..."

Xiuer didn't answer. He just glanced at the lady next to him and nodded slightly.

“They are thanking you~”

"Thank...me...?"

Xiuer pinched his chin and tilted his head, as if he didn't understand the meaning.

Seeing this, Leonardo da Vinci smiled softly, as if he had seen something interesting.

"Fufufu~ It seems our Shuul hasn't realized what he has done yet~"

"...?"

Xiuer really didn't know.

After all, according to his understanding, the attack of the "Holy Spear" actually only covered the false city in the critical area.

The Lion King's only target is himself, who is in the false city, near the city gate.

Even if the holy spear really fell down, it would only destroy that critical area and would not have any impact on the real outside world.

Xuer could see that, at least for now, the Lion King really had no intention of destroying his own holy city with his own hands.

But to outsiders, it looked like the holy spear was just aimed at the city gate.

Therefore, in his opinion, his act of breaking the Holy Lance did not meet the definition of "saving people" because even if the Holy Lance fell successfully, those people outside the city would not be harmed.

Seeing this, Da Vinci, who still wanted to continue teasing Xiuer, sighed helplessly.

Although she didn't know what the other person was thinking, she could at least see that the other person really didn't understand.

"I guess it's hard for Xiuer to understand that feeling."

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was left aside, also joined the conversation.

He came to the other side of Shuul and looked into the distance with his two companions.

But unlike the other two, he really couldn't see those people clearly and was simply looking at the scenery, but there was no "scenery" to see in this devastated land.

"..."

Xiuer didn't refute it. After all, he really didn't understand it, and he had no interest in understanding it.

From what Fujimaru Ritsuka had just revealed, he knew that the Holy Grail of Solomon in this world was in the hands of the Pharaoh Ozymandias.

"I'm asking, why didn't you choose to win the Holy Grail through battle?"

"That's not a good idea. They just treated us to a meal, and now they're just starting to fight and steal our things. It's a bit..."

Xiuer's suggestion made the young man speechless. Not to mention whether they could fight or not, they had just been entertained. If they really did that, wouldn't they be ungrateful?

"No, Xuul." Da Vinci immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest and rejected the other party's proposal.

"Your thinking is wrong. If you insist on using 'brute force' to do everything, you'll only bring yourself a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"..."

As for this statement, everyone has their own opinion.

In Xiuer's opinion, fighting is the most efficient method, but this method only works when you are stronger than the target.

So, he did not continue the topic. No matter what, he would go and "discuss" with the Pharaoh in person.

But for now, let’s focus on the things at hand.

"Inquiring, what's the plan next?"

"Hmm... The Sun King told me to come back to him after I've seen the true nature of this world."

Ritsuka Fujimaru recalled the reply he received at that time. It was because of that sentence that he chose to come to the Holy City to take a look. It can be said that even if Shul was not here, he would come here to take a look.

"Doubtful, true?"

What riddle is this Pharaoh speaking?

"Yes, but speaking of which, Xiuer, you were just in that "holy city", so you should have obtained a lot of information, right?"

The boy did not try to ask the other party for help to "decipher" it. After all, the Sun King wanted him to witness it with his own eyes.

Shuul did not respond immediately, but first glanced at Bedivere who was chatting with Mash not far away.

The knight immediately noticed this direct gaze. He turned his head and looked at Xuul with a puzzled look, wondering why the other party was suddenly looking at him.

"Sure enough, I've found the biggest 'problem' of this singularity."

"Hey, isn't that the Pharaoh and the Holy Grail?"
