ps: I can’t write any more... I’ve been writing for a while and I’ve been unconscious for a while. My brain has become so sleepy that I’ve forgotten what I said in the previous sentence when I started writing one sentence. I’ll end this chapter here, I want to take a nap. I’ll write after I wake up after the meeting.

Chapter 3 Masquerade

Guinevere opened his eyes suddenly.

Before he could clearly see the scene in front of him, a strong sense of dizziness had already surged into his mind, like the module area in his brain. In the past, it had been shrouded in a hazy fog, but now, that layer The fog disappeared.

Suddenly, a large number of memories flashed through his mind, and the various refreshing feelings were mixed with the pain of overexerting his brain in a short period of time, making him feel extremely contradictory.

"What...what's going on?"

Keeping rubbing his temples, Guinevere looked a little painful:

"Tsk... Is London's security a joke? Why are there still people committing housebreaking and kidnappings in broad daylight? With such a shameful London police force, it's no wonder that Mr. Holmes's cases are endless. .....No, that's not right...."

"Those things I remember... look so bad... Demon King Goetia, the simulator, the singularity, Artoria... hell, Why didn’t I remember it until now?”

Covering his head in pain, Guinevere climbed up from the ground unsteadily. At the same time, a large number of unfamiliar landscapes quickly entered his eyes.

At this moment, he was in a large room that looked quite empty. The overall architectural style of the room made it look very grand, like a room belonging to a prince or aristocrat. However, the room lacked decoration and was shabby and outdated. , there is a smell of decay everywhere.An ancient sword hangs on one wall, while on the other hangs a tapestry depicting a girl jumping over a bull's horns.

There is a terrace on the left. Standing on the terrace, you can overlook the lake in the distance, but a thick fog has enveloped this place, and the brilliance of the sun cannot penetrate the thick fog. This seems normal. Only when you see that it seems to cover everything. Only with thick fog can you be sure that this is London, the foggy capital.

However, even for Guinevere, who grew up in the foggy city of London, the fog here seems to be too thick. It seems to be still daytime, but he can't see any trace of the sun at all. In the pink sky, there seemed to be two bright objects that seemed to be the sun.

sun?two?And this pink sky?

Guinevere felt like he had a headache again.

Where is this place?Who is the guy who attacked him?Moreover, the system seemed to suddenly say that the import had ended when he was attacked, and unlocked the blockade on his memory. Could it be because the plot of the fourth singularity had already begun?But where is this part of the plot of the Fourth Singularity?

Question after question jumped out of his mind, but there was no answer to any of them.

On the big bed behind him, a luxuriously dressed woman was lying there fast asleep, breathing evenly, but judging from her slightly wrinkled brows, her dream didn't seem to be very good, like Having a nightmare.

Guinevere boldly walked towards her. It wasn't until he got closer that Guinevere could see the woman's face clearly... but she looked very similar to Arturia, but compared to Artoria looks much more mature. Even though she has fallen asleep, there is still an aura of pampering and superiority between her eyebrows, especially the heavy heart in her chest, which Artoria can never compare to. .

As for her clothes, they looked extra luxurious, and there were clothes like thin wings on her back. Her clothes were spread out on the bed behind her and spread to the ground. From a distance, she looked like a bird. The giant butterfly with its gorgeous wings... seems to have some resemblance to Oberon.

emmmmmmm...the grown-up version of Arturia wearing Oberon clothes?

What's the meaning?If it is said that the fourth singularity point has begun here... could it be that he is a black gun?But didn’t Black Gun Dai appear at the end of the Fourth Singularity, after defeating Tesla?

If he thought about it carefully, before he entered the simulation, he saw the system mention a few things like "external force intervention", "world line change", "simulation copy change"... It seemed that it was because of What markings of special mythical items were detected?

After thinking seriously for a while, Guinevere felt his head hurt even more.

I can't figure it out at all. There is too little information at hand to figure it out.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to try to wake up the woman on the bed first to ask for some information. At least he wanted to know where this place was, who she was, and why he was tied here. These basic questions.

"Hello? Wake up? Excuse me?"

Guinevere shouted a few times tentatively, but seeing no response from the beautiful woman, he gradually increased the volume, but still could not wake up the sleeping woman.

After hesitating for a moment, Guinevere carefully reached out towards the shoulder of the woman on the bed, trying to shake her awake.

Just when Guinevere's hand touched the woman, his thinking suddenly stopped.

No, it can't be called touching. It should be said that visually the spatial positions of their limbs seemed to be in contact... It needs to be described like this because he didn't touch the woman at all, and his hand went straight from her. The woman's shoulder reached in, and she didn't feel any contact with anything. He just touched the bed after his hand reached deeper... It felt like some kind of holographic projection.

Guinevere retracted his hand in confusion.

He was confused and confused by this inexplicable situation.

Guinevere sighed.

No matter what, he couldn't stay here and wait for death.

Guinevere looked to the right side of the room again. That was an arcade, spreading out into the depths of the thick fog. It was unknown where it led... but that was also the only exit from this room. .

Since he couldn't make contact with the woman on the bed, Guinevere decided to go out and explore from here.

After thinking about it, before leaving here, Guinevere first touched the sword hanging on the wall. After taking it, he unsheathed the sword, waved it lightly, checked the weight and center of gravity, and then He gently touched the sword's blade to confirm its sharpness.

Very good, both from the counterweight and the material of the sword body, they are all made by famous masters.

Guinevere gently chopped off the corner of the wooden table in the room, and cut off the corner of the table without any effort.

Then, he turned on the system and tried to detect the properties of the sword:

[Name: Sword of Queen Cassilda]

【rarity:? 】

[This is the matching sword you found in Queen Cassilda's palace. It cuts iron like clay. It is a rare sword. It was also stained with the blood of Prince Adonis. The sword itself seems to contain some special powers. Effect. 】

[Queen Cassilda learned the terrible truth from the prophecy. As the 12th king of Kati, she could not accept a future where the dynasty was destined to perish. However, she tried hard to resist fate but was attacked by the ambitious prince. Adonis was hampered by the high priest Naotauba and lost all his children. 】

[When the king holds this sword, the attack power of the sword itself will be increased. (activated)】

"Queen Cassilda? Prophecy? Horrible truth? A doomed future?"

After reading the introduction of the sword, Guinevere frowned.

Why does this thing smell like a fragmented narrative of soul wandering?

Forget it, anyway, it’s time to set off.

Shaking his head slightly, Guinevere hung the scabbard on his back, but did not put away the sword, and walked directly towards the arcade on the right.

The fog was too thick, and he had no idea what kind of dangers lurked on the other side of the fog.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, he could only hold the sword in his hand, hoping that it would be of some use when he encountered danger.

But just a little bit.

After all, Guinevere's attributes are just a bunch now. After three of the originally selected five entries were separated by another personality, the only remaining entries on his side are [Blacksmith] and [Heavenly Jealous Talent]. Well, the buffs given by these two attributes are not for combat. The blacksmith has gained one level of physical strength, while the jealous talent has lost one level of durability. As a result, his current physique is even lower than that of ordinary people. He doesn’t know what to expect. How should you fight against stronger enemies?

Slowly advancing in the thick fog, the thick fog wetted Guinevere's clothes, and the chill rushed into Guinevere's heart along his exposed wrists.

He raised his attention to the highest level, his ears carefully picking up every move coming from around him, and he was wary of any attacks that might come from the thick fog.

However, until he walked through the long arcade, he did not encounter any attacks. Death-like silence surrounded him, and no sound came from the depths of the thick fog.

I don’t know how long I have been marching in the thick fog. Because of the thick fog, Guinevere couldn’t see much. Everywhere I saw were stone buildings with a somewhat retro architectural style. , occasionally you can see some decorations, but they all reveal a stale taste.

It wasn't until Guinevere passed through three more vaults that the decorations he could see around him suddenly turned aside, and the decorations that exuded an old-fashioned aristocratic flavor were replaced by festive decorations such as flowers and balloons.

The thick fog suddenly lightened up here, and Guinevere realized that he seemed to have entered the room from outside. At this time, he was coming to a new hall.

Moreover, when he passed through the last vault, he seemed to have suddenly crossed over a whole world. The deathly silence around him was suddenly broken, and a large number of noisy voices entered his ears. In the middle, Guinevere looked around, only to find that a large number of people wearing luxurious clothes were dancing around him, as if they were participating in a dance.

"Hello?"

A certain figure suddenly came from beside Guinevere. Guinevere was frightened and subconsciously aimed the sword in the direction of the sound - but as soon as his sword turned around, he couldn't move. , a hand wearing a white guard glove grasped his sword tightly like an iron hoop.

The strength in that hand was so great that Guinevere still wanted to pull out the sword, but no matter how hard he tried, the hand remained motionless.

It's over, I didn't expect that as soon as I debuted, I would encounter a monster that I couldn't touch at all.

Just when Guinevere's heart was filled with despair, the man holding his sword suddenly let go of his sword and said slowly:

"Put your sword back into its sheath, personal guard. The people here are the nobles of Iti. If you hurt someone among them, you cannot afford the consequences."

"what?"

It wasn't until this time that Guinevere suddenly realized that the speaker's voice was actually a female voice - he looked towards the person holding his sword blade, and what he saw was another delicate and beautiful woman. face.

It was a girl wearing a white guard uniform. She had rose-red hair and the front hair was very long. When she let it down, it covered her eyes a lot. If you don't look carefully, it would be difficult to see her eyes. Her pupils were actually of different colors. Her left eye was as blue as the sky, but her right eye was as bright gold as lava.

The most eye-catching thing about her is the high arched metal horn in the center of her forehead. I don't know if it grows there or is worn as some kind of decoration.

Her appearance made Guinevere feel an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. It seemed that he had seen this face before somewhere...or it was a similar face, but because the impression was very weak, I couldn't remember it for a while.

And just when Guinevere was trying to think about where he had seen this female guard, the other party saw that he had not moved, so he could not help but increase his tone slightly and said again:

"Put away your sword, personal guard. Since you hold Her Majesty the Queen's sword, you must be highly valued by Her Majesty the Queen. But even so, the masquerade carefully prepared by Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness Camilla does not allow you to act wildly. I am the captain of the guard, Ella, if you have any questions, you can come to me after the dance."

"Oh, oh! Sorry!"

Only then did Guinevere realize that the other party had mistaken him for some of the queen's personal guards because of his sword, and he quickly put the sword away.

Seeing him put away the sword, the girl who called herself Ella nodded slightly and continued:

"Speaking of which, bodyguard, since you have come to the ball, you should prepare a mask, right? If you forget to wear it, I just have extra here, you can use mine."

With that said, she reached out and took out a mask from her arms and handed it to Guinevere.

While thanking her, Guinevere took the mask she handed over... But when he saw the mask, Guinevere felt as if he was electrocuted, and his outstretched hand froze. It was not until Ella coughed lightly again that Guinevere woke up from a dream and quickly took over the mask.

"Oh thank you!"

"What a weird guy."

After looking at Guinevere a few more times, Ella muttered angrily, then turned around and left without saying another word.

After she left, Guinevere had the opportunity to lower his head and look at the mask in his hand.

It was a pale mask, and except for the central eyes, the rest were all blank cardboard.

——But it was exactly the same as the mask worn by the unknown person who attacked Guinevere before he fainted in his mansion.

What's going on... Is there any connection between the masquerade held here and the person who kidnapped me?Is there any connection with Makiri who created the singularity?

Guinevere raised his head again and wanted to catch up with Ella to ask a few questions, but found that she had already disappeared into the crowd.

In desperation, Guinevere had no choice but to target the surrounding guests attending the ball again.

After thinking about it, he did not disturb the dancing guests, but found a guest who was sitting behind the dining table, feasting on the food at the banquet.However, when Guinevere sat down, he discovered that small pieces of plaster and dust fell from the ceiling and fell into the food. However, the guest did not pay attention to it at all and just casually put the small pieces of plaster and dust into the food. He picked out the pieces of plaster from the food and continued to eat the food.

"Hello? I wonder if I can ask a few questions?"

Seeing such an abnormality, Guinevere hesitated for a moment and then asked bravely.

Hearing Guinevere's words, the guest turned his head, but Guinevere could not see his face because his face was covered by a mask that was the same as the one Ella had just given him. However, the guest lifted up the mask slightly, leaving only the mouth open for stuffing food into it.

"What's the problem? Tell me quickly and don't disturb my meal."

While muttering, the guest chewed an elbow on the table and said casually.

"I would like to ask, where exactly is this place? Which neighborhood in London is it in? What's going on with Queen Cassilada? Why haven't I heard of this name before? Isn't Queen Victoria currently in office?"

Hearing this, the guest looked at Guinevere as if he were a fool, and said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about...What London? What Queen Victoria? These are all unheard of names. Is this some new type of prank? Aren't we at the banquet at the Palace of Iti? Queen Cassilda Naturally, she is the queen who rules Iti... Don't you, a personal guard, know this better than me?"
