Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

Although he knew that Shuul had excellent intelligence capabilities, Fujimaru Ritsuka still could not have imagined that in such a short period of time, the former would directly find the biggest "source of anomaly" of this singularity.

He had really thought that the other party simply wanted to come to the Holy City to fight.

"Negative. The Holy Grail is also an anomaly, but the Lion King is the primary factor causing this singularity to deviate significantly."

Although the progress of "World Analysis" of the Whispering Chapter is not high, when there is a search target, it can still find the information that Xuer wants.

After entering the Holy City, he relied on "searching" the Knights of the Round Table and traced the cause to the Lion King.

Shuul didn't explain too much, but simply pointed out the main anomaly of this singularity.

Ritsuka Fujimaru did not doubt the truthfulness of the other party's words, but it was precisely because of trust that he was so surprised.

I didn't expect that Xiuer, who has always been efficient, would abandon his "target" and choose to join me and others.

After the surprise, there comes the touching moment.

It seems that you finally treat us as companions!

The young man thought so excitedly in his heart, but he did not say it out loud because he was afraid that the other party would refute him as usual.

"...?"

Looking at the young man in front of him whose emotions suddenly fluctuated, Xiuer was a little confused for a moment, so he turned to look at Da Vinci on the side.

"Want to know my opinion?"

Being stared at by that gaze, Da Vinci stroked his cheek and pretended to be thoughtful.

"I also think it's better to end it early~"

She thought that since the problem was discovered early, it should be solved early. On the contrary, it was a bit strange that Xiuer would put the problem aside and come back to reunite with them.

Her thoughts were similar to Fujimaru Ritsuka's, but he thought of another aspect.

"Is it because of Bedivere?"

Leonardo da Vinci gave this answer after thinking for a moment.

After all, after the knight confessed everything to them, they knew the obsession that he had persisted to this day.

I guess Xiuer would know this too.

"affim."

Although not entirely correct, Leonardo da Vinci's guess is one of the reasons.

It happened that the conversation between Mashu and Bedivere had come to an end at this time, and seeing this, Shuel immediately moved, walked past Fujimaru Ritsuka, and came to the Silver-Armed Knight.

……

Chapter 36: Next Step

In fact, if we look closely, the culprit who caused the world to deviate seriously from history is not the Lion King who caused the greatest damage to this land.

But it was Bedivere who had failed to fulfill the king's instructions as the legend had said.

Because in the original correct direction of the story, as a Knight of the Round Table who took care of the Knight King until the last moment, Bedivere was given the last order by his own king.

That is to bring the holy sword given by the lake fairy, which has the property of "immortality", to the lake where the holy sword was obtained, and throw it into the lake.

In this way, as long as the holy sword is returned to the lake, the "immortality" brought by the holy sword will also disappear.

Because on the battlefield, the Knight King was attacked by the enemy and was unfortunately poisoned and on the verge of death. Due to her "immortality" characteristic, her life could only be stuck on the eve of death, and she could only endure the pain brought by the poison endlessly.

That's why she hoped Bedivere would return the holy sword and free her from the endless torment.

According to the original plan, this loyal knight made three sword-returning journeys.

Because he was reluctant to see the king go, he failed the first two times. It was not until the third time that he finally returned the holy sword and set the knight king free.

But in this singularity, Bedivere failed to return the sword for the third time. Because he was reluctant to leave the king, he did the thing he regretted most in his life.

The Knight King, unable to escape, finally chose to pick up the holy spear - [Longomyniad] after a long period of torture.

She then reappeared during the Crusades, calling herself the Lion King, and led a group of Knights of the Round Table who had been summoned by her to defeat all invaders with a crushing force.

After that, this magnificent holy city was built on the original site of Jerusalem.

By reading the obituaries, Shul was able to learn about the past experiences of the Knight King.

Including but not limited to his "disposal" of his subordinate Round Table, and the fact that his character was slowly eroded by the Holy Spear in his hand.

And the truth that he is still a "living person" until now.

He has discovered a lot, but there are still many things he has not discovered.

To put it bluntly, the analysis of the Whispering Chapter has not yet been completed, and it is already good enough that he can find out so much.

Besides, the experience of the "enemy" is not something he cares about.

"Inquiry, what are you going to do next?"

Without any explanation or prelude, Xuel asked directly as soon as he walked up to the knight.

The reason why he did not choose to fight the Lion King directly, besides the fact that his own goal had been achieved, was Bedivere's "obsession".

"what?"

The Silver-Armed Knight was a little confused. He heard it clearly, but he didn't understand why the other party asked that.

He had just finished talking to Mashu when he was caught by this peculiar puppet and asked "What are you going to do?"

Even Belleville almost couldn't react.

"..."

Seeing this, Xuer realized that his remarks were a bit sudden and quickly gave a follow-up supplement.

"Information: There are five Knights of the Round Table in the Holy City, and four have been dealt with."

"Gawain and Lancelot were severely injured, Mordred was captured, and Drizzt was confirmed dead."

Xuul listed his battle records in the holy city one by one as if nothing had happened, which surprised the people around him. Among them, Bedivere had a particularly ugly expression on his face.

The Silver-Armed Knight was filled with sorrow over the fact that his fellow Round Table companions were either killed or severely injured by others.

But he did not feel any resentment towards Xiuer about this matter.

"call--"

Bedivere took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness that was welling up in his heart.

The cold moonlight shone on the knight's head, casting shadows on his face and hiding his expression at the moment.

He understood that the other party had done nothing wrong.

And even if he were allowed to come, he would personally take action to prevent his companions from going further astray.

Others could not see the knight's expression clearly, but "darkness" had no effect on Xuer, who could clearly see the other's expression at the moment.

At this moment, Bedivere was looking at the ground with a face full of self-blame.

"Thank you for stopping my companions from going further down the wrong path."

Although they were colleagues back then, now that they had chosen to follow the misguided king and contribute to the world's "errors," Bedivere would not show mercy due to personal feelings.

"..."

Faced with the knight's gratitude, Xuer remained indifferent.

He just blinked and continued to ask:

"Inquiry, continue?"

It was very concise, so concise that it only consisted of one word, which left Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was listening in, a little confused.

The boy scratched his head and looked at his companions.

Leonardo da Vinci's attention was not on the topic, but on the holy city in the distance. Her gaze passed through the vast night sky and reached the sky above the city.

It seemed that he was curious about the different space that was previously shattered and "revealed" by the Holy Spear.

As for Mashu, she was standing alone with Fufu in her arms, with a dazed expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something.

The girl has been like this since her conversation with Bedivere ended.

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know what they talked about.

Because they were far enough away from the Holy City, and there were no pursuers from the Holy City, they were somewhat relaxed at this time.

But now, among the five people in the group, he seemed to be the only one with nothing to do.

He raised his arm and looked at the device on his wrist.

'Should I talk to Dr. Roman?'

Although the surrounding environment often gives people a gloomy feeling, the atmosphere created by the five people gathering together is enough to dispel this feeling.

Xiuer didn't care about other people's reactions.

His words were very concise, but Bedivere was able to quickly understand their meaning.

The latter immediately looked up and glanced at the holy city in the distance, then moved his eyes again to look at the refugee who was still unconscious and was placed not far away by them.

This person thought a lot.

His already gloomy eyes became even deeper as he thought.

A breeze blew past, and the refreshing cool breeze pulled the knight back from his increasingly deep thoughts.

He raised his head and met the eyes of the only two sources of light in the night.

The slightly glowing golden eyes looked eerie against the backdrop of darkness, but the knight with the numerical Shul character did not pay too much attention to it.

The latter was not in a hurry, leaving Bedivere plenty of time to think.

"Not for now..."

The confusion on the knight's face had long disappeared, but Xuel could still see the hidden emotions on his face.

It seems that the courage that the other party had finally mustered up disappeared after being discovered and knocked away by the Lion King.

Anyone who has missed out on success would feel disappointed. Of course, the main reason for this knight's disappointment was that he was treated as an enemy by his own king.

It was thanks to Shul's protection that he was able to survive.

However, if he were alone, Bedivere would probably still choose to go again.

But it's different now.

His eyes passed the puppet and swept across the front.

The refugees who were scattered by the sound of the Holy Lance's descent gave him different thoughts.

I'm afraid that after experiencing what happened, these refugees will never dare to come to the holy city again.

Then, in order to survive, they may have to find another place to live.

"I think we should take these refugees and find a place to stay first..."

Because of his inner belief, Bedivere could not abandon these refugees.

"Yeah."

The puppet's expression remained calm at the moment, and he did not comment on this answer.

The other party is running away.

Xiuer was extremely sure, but he didn't care.

The knight in front of him really wanted to take care of these refugees, but Xuel could still see a hint of "escape" in the knight's eyes.

The heavy burden on his shoulders made the knight miserable, but he never regretted his choice.

But until now, because of the chance encounter with Xuul, I was able to reach the Holy City without any obstacles with him on my back. Even if I had been prepared as mentioned before, I was afraid that it was just hypnosis to myself.

He probably hasn't really made up his mind yet.

But no matter what, Xuer doesn't care.

After getting the answer, he stopped asking questions and quickly moved away from the other person and returned to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was still thinking about what topic to talk about with Dr. Roman.

"So we are now trying to find a place to house those refugees, right?"

As soon as Xiuer arrived, the young man spoke first.
