Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

She knew Fujimaru Ritsuka's character and that he could easily empathize with her. This was not the disguise of some hypocrite, but a genuine emotion.

This kind of personality is not a bad thing, but sometimes it is not a good thing either. After all, sometimes "kindness" may bring unnecessary trouble to yourself.

However, the situation was not urgent at the moment, and she was not going to remind the boy.

This "genius" is also enjoying the cool evening breeze at this moment.

Then, he turned his gaze to the "person" next to him.

Xuul watched all this expressionlessly. As usual, the puppet's face was always indifferent.

Those golden eyes swept calmly from the mother and son, then to the boy, Bedivere and Mash, and finally returned to Da Vinci who was looking at him.

"...?"

Seeing the other person looking at him, Xiuer tilted his head in confusion.

It was Shul who proposed the idea of ​​letting Fujimaru Ritsuka go to negotiate. After all, he was self-aware and knew that talking to others in his current situation would likely backfire.

The armor of Bedivere and Mash was likely to cause stress to these people who had just "escaped death" in the Holy City.

As for Leonardo da Vinci...

Well, actually, Xiuer originally planned to let this genius go. After all, apart from anything else, the other party must be very eloquent, and the smile on her face all the time coupled with her gentle temperament can easily win the favor of others.

But the result was that Leonardo pushed the boy out on the grounds of "exercise".

Anyway, the results for both of them should be pretty good, so Xiuer has no objection.

"As expected, Xiao Shuel always looks so 'cold' no matter what he faces~"

I don't know if it was a tease or a joke, but it made no sense to Xiuer.

"I'm sure these 'refugees' will eventually find a home, so there's no need to feel 'sad' about them."

Not paying attention to the name "Little Shul", the puppet just explained in a flat tone.

"Hmm~ What about the results..."

Da Vinci poked his cheek, looking distressed.

It is hard to imagine that an "all-powerful person" would show a distressed expression, but considering the personality of this "genius", Xiuer thought it was normal.

"That's not a bad thing."

While the two were chatting, the negotiations on Fujimaru Ritsuka's side returned to normal. After questioning the mother and son, the young man went on to ask the other two.

The two of them also changed the topic.

"By the way, how is Xiao Xiu'er's exploration of this world going?"

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the person next to him, seeing that Da Vinci took the initiative to change the subject, Xiuer didn't care about the joke.

He did not analyze the meaning of "exploration" in the other party's mouth, because he had never told others about his "analysis of the world".

Moreover, Shul also took the initiative to inform his companions of his deployment of the Sky Eyes. There is no doubt that they really wanted to confirm whether the Sky Eyes had found other "bases" that could accommodate refugees.

"Answer: Sky Eye has not yet completed its coverage. We have not found any other suitable 'residences' in the areas we have explored so far."

Because it started from the desert, after two transfers, Xuul also simultaneously deployed sites in multiple locations.

But unfortunately, it has not been discovered yet.

All we can say is that the Lion King was too powerful in clearing out the surrounding forces, so that there were no other forces around except the Pharaoh in the desert.

It can be said that in this singularity, "refugees" have become the largest group of people.

"Is that so? That's really difficult."

After confirming the situation, Da Vinci was also troubled by the resettlement of these refugees. She stroked her cheek, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Xiuer stopped talking and turned back into a quiet puppet.

The noise of their conversation was not loud, completely hidden by the noise of communication at the head of the team.

Although at night, his all-white outfit and unique attire made him very conspicuous.

But perhaps because of the excitement of escaping death and his deliberate retreat behind the crowd, the four people's attention was completely focused on Fujimaru Ritsuka who was at the top.

Even during the initial observation, I didn't see the white puppet hiding behind the crowd due to its height.

"..."

However, although it has not been detected yet, according to Xuer's intelligence, there is a group of mountain people hiding in that distant mountain range.

This force is also one of the forces that survived the sanctions of the Lion King.

Unlike the direct confrontation with the Pharaoh, the mountain people survived by hiding in the mountains, preventing the Lion King from extending his "vision".

Although the reading function of the unfinished Whisper Chapter of World Analysis has not disappeared, its search range will be affected, making it impossible for Xuer to find out all the information completely.

This led to the fact that he knew about the existence of the Mountain People force, but he didn't know what the "situation" of this force was.

We can roughly confirm that it is still alive, but it is unknown whether it is lingering on or thriving.

However, in addition to using the rites of apology, Shuel actually has a simpler way to get the answer.

That means "asking someone."

Coincidentally, when he first came to this world and rescued Pharaoh Nitocris, the "kidnappers" he captured belonged to the Mountain People.

After confirming that the mountain people he had captured were in good health, Xuer's attention returned to Da Vinci.

"Hmm~Xiao Xiuer suddenly looked at me. Do you have anything to say?"

Leonardo da Vinci, who was still thinking, focused his attention on the doll after noticing this gaze.

"..."

"Inquiry, what were you thinking about just now?"

For some reason, Xiuer suddenly changed his mind and became curious about Leonardo da Vinci's ideas.

"Hmm~ Little Xiu'er is very curious~"

"..."

"Want to know?"

There was a smile on that gentle face, just like the big sister next door who loved to play pranks.

But Xiuer lost his curiosity because of the other party's joke.

His eyes lowered slightly, and he turned his gaze towards the holy city.

"negative."

"Eh~ How boring, little Shuul."

Seeing this, Leonardo da Vinci was frustrated and had no choice but to restrain himself.

"Actually, I was just thinking that if you really can't find a place to go, why not let me help..." She deliberately paused here, glanced at Xiuer slightly, and realized that the other party had no intention of asking any questions, so she had to completely put away the last joking idea.

"I'm a genius, so it shouldn't be difficult for me to help build a hidden base for living."

Patting her abundant "capital", Da Vinci said confidently that after all, it was not difficult for her to do this.

But...

"Inquiry, how to solve the problem of supplies?"

Perhaps for this genius, building a base to accommodate refugees is easy, but where will the materials needed for construction come from?

Xiuer stared into the distance and asked without turning his head.

"Hey~ So this is just a last resort~"

Da Vinci stuck out his tongue, cunningly avoiding the question.

"But you suddenly looked at me just now, do you have something to say?"

She could see that the question just now was not the main one, and Xiuer had something else to say to her.

"affim."

The puppet nodded, its white hair fluttering behind it as it moved, and its golden eyes stared intently into the distance.

As if he had seen something noteworthy, Xuel didn't even look at the other person during the conversation.

"What's that?"

Da Vinci was a little curious about what this puppet, which rarely took the initiative to talk to people, would say.

At this time, silver knights had begun to walk out of the gate of the holy city in the distance. Xuel could see that those knights were of the same kind as the knights he had killed when he first entered the holy city.

It seemed that a certain king had recovered from his "emotions" and started to act.

Xiuer watched all this and responded to his companions at the same time.

"Answer: Regarding the known destinations for refugees, we have a third option besides 'Pharaoh' and 'Holy City'."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Leonardo da Vinci was also surprised. Didn’t Shuel say that he hadn’t found it? Why did he suddenly say that there was still a choice?

"People of the Mountain."

"what!"

After being reminded by Xiuer, Leonardo da Vinci immediately clenched his fists and knocked his hands, with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Although her action was not loud, it still attracted the attention of others due to the night environment.

"What's wrong, dear Da Vinci?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had just finished negotiations, walked up to the two of them. His expression at this moment clearly showed that he had gained nothing. It seemed that the four refugees didn't know where else to go.

The boy wanted to help others but didn't know where to start, which made him feel very frustrated.

That is why, when he saw Leonardo da Vinci's expression of sudden enlightenment, he thought that the other party must have come up with some solution.

After all, although this older sister usually behaves a little weird, she is also a very reliable talent in this team.

"We've figured it out."

Da Vinci glanced at Xiuer, and the "we" she mentioned probably included Xiuer.

Seeing this, the originally lost boy immediately became excited.

But just as Da Vinci was about to explain to the other party, the puppet next to him suddenly interrupted.

"Reminder, please give a brief overview. The Holy City has begun its operation."

Xuer's reminder immediately alerted several people. They immediately looked towards the holy city. Even Fujimaru Ritsuka could see that dense silver dots had appeared near the holy city in the distance.

Mashu and Da Vinci, the servants, saw the army of silver knights rapidly walking out of the city gate.

……

Chapter 38 Processing

"What are those...?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't see clearly, but he could notice that the expression of his companion beside him quickly became solemn.

The silver-white armor reflected an icy light under the cold moonlight.

The breeze that often blew in the air spread the murderous aura of these knights far away.

The boy's eyesight was not able to see the situation of these knights clearly, but his companions beside him were different.

"The answer is The Lion King's 'Knight'."

The boy's heart was stunned by the cold voice of Xiuer.

From the data collected from the silver knights that Xuer had killed before, it can be seen that those knights were completely created by something.

And after coming into contact with the "Holy Lance", he was able to confirm that those silver knights were "created" by the Holy Lance.

Since it is an "object" that has been analyzed, Xu Er naturally has no interest in it at all.

He didn't care about this group of worthless things at all, but it was obvious that the appearance of this group of knights was of great significance to others.

"not good."

Ritsuka Fujimaru immediately became anxious. After Shule made that big noise just now, the other side dispatched such a large number of soldiers, obviously intending to do something against Shule.
