People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

Suddenly, a message came.

"Prometheus, what happened?"

[Creator, outside London, there is an unknown magical reaction. ]

Chapter 127 Quadruple Element High Energy Particle Collider Cluster Cannon

"Unknown magical reaction outside the city?" Qin Xuan immediately ordered, "Can you identify the specific identity?"

[It matches one of the existing magic wavelength records, and it is the burial mechanism - "Bow" Xiel. ]

"It's the Holy Church. By the way, the wanted order has been issued for so long, it's time for them to come. Do they have any intention of coming in?"

There are no signs of further movement at this time.

[From the perspective of personnel deployment, ritual lines, and reaction scale, it is highly likely that remote support magic was used]

"..." Qin Xuan thought for a while, "Connect to the four temples of wind, water, earth, and fire, and contact Xueyuehua."

【Immediate execution.】

"——Hi, father, this is Ye Ye Desu~!"

"——This is Iluli, what can I do for you?"

"——Father, Kozuki is always here too."

"Iluli, Yeye, Xiaozi, the arrangement of the temple has reached the final stage, leave the temple immediately."

"Hey, but... it's clearly the last step..."

"——I have arranged for the 'Puppet Who Has Finished His Role' (Golden Dawn Puppet) to take over. You should retreat first, including your spirit body in one of the temples, Prometheus."

【Follow your orders. 】

The three sisters also responded.

Qin Xuan then began to reveal his plan, "Since the third act has not yet begun, and the enemy's attack may be in preparation, then I might as well 'rehearse' it before the official start to test the effect."

There is a reason why Qin Xuan made such arrangements. All the Golden Dawn dolls used for acting are cheap mass-produced goods that cannot withstand a few tossings.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Dion Fuchun and his ilk used big moves one after another when attacking the Clock Tower Brigade. But in fact, their quality as "magic signal adapters" for rational and legal reactions is limited.

Once the number of rituals carried out is too many, or the scale is too large, the circuit will fall into an overload state. And each overload will further lead the puppet itself to a scrapped state.

For example, Dion Fortune was in a very bad state because he was carrying the rational and legal reactions as well as the magic signals of the entire Second Regiment of the Golden Dawn. He was able to leave the field in time after completely suppressing the Barthelmero Brigade, which delayed the time of scrapping as much as possible.

Anyway, there are as many mass-produced products as needed. The character of Dion Fortune is just a tool to explain the script to the Clock Tower. Once her role has been fulfilled, there is no need to consider her uniqueness anymore.

When Qin Xuan thought of this, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment: If the real unmanned warfare technique is to be put into use, the current puppets are still unqualified. At least their endurance is too short. This is also related to the fact that Orange's puppet technology is too "refined".

The most suitable bionic puppets for magic are high-end customized ones. The battlefield does not need "artworks" to top it. In comparison, it is more appropriate to modify the puppets with high power, multiple circuits and low cost. The laboratory function of the void can save a lot of costs, and the positioning does not have to be limited to traditional puppet technology.

But for now, just make do with it.

"Currently, the puppets codenamed Golden Dawn have been divided into four groups and are heading to the temple to replace the entities that perform computer functions and carry out spells in the process of extracting, transforming, determining orbits, and launching earth vein elements."

Theoretically speaking, as the owner of a high-end special circuit, the Setsugekka doll should be able to host such a grand ceremony with ease, but the scale of this time is indeed unique, and many risks are unavoidable. Moreover, among the three dolls, only Iruri, who has a high-power magic output circuit, is more suitable. The physical type doll Yaya and the illusion type doll Kozuki are somewhat stretched.

It would be better for everyone to withdraw, since this is just a rehearsal anyway.

Law and Politics Department, underground library.

"What did you say? The leyline output points are approaching each other?"

“Lord Barthelmero,” Waver’s tone on the communication channel was extremely humble. Even though he knew that what he had discovered was serious and had already prepared to report the intelligence to the monarchs, it was the first time for him to directly contact the “noble among the nobles” (Barthelmero). “To be exact, this happened thirty minutes ago.”

"now what?"

"Stop. I guess they have been guided to their correct positions. The direction of the spiritual veins of the entire land has been twisted just right, so there is no need to get closer... According to my observation, the effect of the twist is to speed up the flow of earth vein energy (mana). The principle is like the surface of a cup. There is a potential energy difference from the surrounding points to the center point, which accelerates the movement of entities of the same mass."

To be honest, Weber's explanation is very much in the style of modern magic. This is because such an explanation is more efficient and easier to understand. No wonder he was able to cultivate so many magician talents in another world line. In addition to his ability of discernment, it is also related to his own level of knowledge and teaching level.

"..." Barthelmero was surprised for a moment by this unexpected "modern style" explanation, and then he didn't say anything more and continued to ask:

"You said before that you were provided with information about the earth vein nodes. What's going on?"

"… Specifically, I don't know." Waver found it difficult to explain. "In short, when I came to my senses, the information was delivered to me by unknown means. It was like being hypnotized without any resistance."

It is not an easy task to interfere with a magician's mind. Even with a high-level enchanting eye, it will only be effective if the magician makes eye contact.

But Barthelmero Lorelei gave the answer, "It's Aleister!"

"What?" Weber had been busy observing and had no idea of ​​the progress on the other side.

"Take a look at the meeting minutes sent out on the channel before. The general movements of Mathers and Aleister have been analyzed."

"..." Weber finally understood after reading it that there were actually two hostile forces, so the weaker party would take the initiative to provide clues, and its motive was understandable.

But is it really too late?

"Look outside!"

Lorelai wanted to continue discussing the possible follow-up targeted actions, but she was interrupted by shouting in the distance.

"what happened?"

Toosaka Rin called out, "Something happened outside! It's hard to explain in a short time, Master Barthelmero had better come and take a look in person!"

Lorelai followed Toosaka Rin back to the surface. The surroundings were still filled with broken walls and ruins. However, a bright beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

One beam, two beams, three beams, four beams. They converge towards the center from different directions of the city.

It was a high-density magic power extracted from the environment of the Albion God Era, which was directly connected to the spirit tomb, and converted into a high-energy pure elemental torrent through the four major temples.

They intertwined and collided in mid-air, and were then coordinated by the tower-like building in the center into a super-giant magic cannon that shot straight up and blasted directly into the troposphere in the sky.

Chapter 128 Beyond Visual Range Coverage Strike

A moment ago. The remains of London's former academic city.

The monarchs had already disbanded some of the battle formations, and those students with lower qualifications and school age were sent out to clean up the ground after the magic bombardment, to find out if there were any valuable things left, and to give hints to ordinary people who noticed the place because of the noise, and other miscellaneous tasks. As for the members of the Golden Dawn, they had retreated for some time because of Qin Xuan's transfer order.

The reason why this place is called a ruin is that after the war between the two sides, the buildings of the academic city suffered a serious blow. The originally neat and smooth stone slabs were completely overturned, including some academic buildings that were completely blown down, with large holes left by dense artillery fire. As for the building fragments and rubble, many of them turned to dust, and there was faint black smoke. At first glance, it can be judged that this place can only be rebuilt after planning.

The large classrooms were in an even more horrific state. Most of the school buildings were blown through, and about half of them had their entire walls collapsed. The insides were empty, and the building structures were crooked and on the verge of collapse.

In this case, let alone repairing it, there is also a question mark as to how many valuable things are left inside and whether it is preserved intact.

But no matter what, there may still be some personal belongings of the students left in the dormitory, so even if the students are not ordered by the professors to clean up the place, they will always come here to look for personal belongings that may have been lost.

"How's it going?"

"Overall, the above-ground facilities... were basically destroyed, while the underground workshops and library were almost unscathed."

"That's good... It's a blessing in disguise." After listening to the student representative's report, Monarch Tranberio seemed to be relieved. Then he remembered something and hurriedly asked the others on the Monarch communication channel:

"Everyone, what is the damage situation in Academic City?"

"…My classrooms and dormitories were almost completely destroyed, but the underground workshops and other places were well preserved."

"It's the same with me. In short, the 'teaching' part is almost completely destroyed, but the 'research' part is completely intact."

After hearing the almost unanimous statements from the monarchs, Tramberio frowned even more deeply. "Everyone, those 'Golden Dawn' have been retreating for a while, right?"

Kenneth said, "That's right. It's strange. They had almost complete advantage, but we could only maintain the situation and occasionally counterattack once or twice, but we didn't decide to take the opportunity to advance and completely defeat them."

"The reason for this choice must be that other actions have higher priority," Baruyeleta continued to analyze.

Ulysses guessed: "... something more valuable than the teaching building... must be the underground workshop... In addition, the possibility of attacking the tomb is also..."

Baru Yereta retorted: "According to reports, the Secret Corps Autopsy Bureau suffered almost no casualties, and there is no record of anyone witnessing the Golden Dawn entering the Secret Corps Autopsy Bureau. They only attacked the above-ground part of the building, blocked the entrance and exit, and moved their position."

"...There is more than one path leading to the tomb..."

Kenneth couldn't believe it, "Could it be..." The path leading to the Dragon's Heart and the opening of the Crown Decision was also blocked?

"...Balthemero has confirmed that Karion at the observatory cannot be contacted...The road leading to the underground is also blocked..."

"Then, could it be that..." Tramberio seemed to confirm the whereabouts of the Golden Dawn.

"——Excuse me, everyone." The communication signal of Lord Measstia was suddenly connected.

"Everyone, I found that the flow of the earth veins is different from usual and has deviated from the normal fluctuation range. In short, it is an anomaly. It should be said that it is an anomaly of the earth veins that can easily cause a great magic-level anomaly."

The earth veins, or spiritual veins, are the "power" running through the earth, giving people the illusion that there are huge creatures lurking and moving in the earth. Therefore, based on the tracks they leave behind, people give them different names, such as spiritual veins, earth veins, etc. In the East, they are also called "dragon veins."

Many of the classrooms in the clock tower are also built on this kind of distortion that allows the power of the earth to manifest.

Therefore, Meastea personally discovered this anomaly at certain nodes of the remaining ruins of the classroom: "On top of the 'twist' in the name of the earth vein, a large-scale artificial 'twist' is enough to trigger a phenomenal magic that changes nature."

The Archaeology Monarch relied on his academic experience and put forward his own opinion: "Moreover, the energy flowing through these 'distortions' contains ancient mysteries, which are definitely not the scale (mystery) that the surface spirit veins should have. The purpose of the Golden Dawn is not simply to invade the underground spirit tombs, but to lead the energy of the spirit tombs through the ground veins to achieve a certain purpose they need to achieve."

There is a reason why Meastea can make a quick judgment. He has been in contact with relics from ancient times for many years and is very sensitive to the remaining mysteries, especially those close to the Age of Gods.

Although in all parts of the world outside the Lingmu, except for Shenzhou, there are basically only some small-scale mysterious phenomena that are lingering on.

"..." Just as the monarchs fell into deep thought because of Meastia's speech, a new situation occurred.

A stream of light appeared in the sky above London, a highly condensed torrent of pure color elements.

The red one is the high-energy ray of the fire element, symbolizing the god-like being. The blue one is the water element, symbolizing the power of the god. The yellow one is the wind element, symbolizing the fire of the god. The green one is the earth element, symbolizing the medicine of the god.

The red, blue, yellow and green lights of destruction streaked across the skies of various districts in London. Their proximity and high energy levels caused the magicians who were able to sense it to tremble physically and mentally, and they could not help but pray that all this would not become the catastrophic disaster that they had imagined would befall them.

"Sure enough, it came true. Moreover, it is not a barrier, nor a pure phenomenon. It is actually this kind of output form of pure destructive force." Meastia spoke without any fluctuation in tone, with a somewhat bitter tone.

--------

"...My premonition came true." When the first quadruple-element high-energy particle collision cluster cannon was fired, Weber was still talking to Lorelei.

"What premonition?" Lorelai also looked at the sky nervously, feeling the familiar helplessness.

"I just said that the distortion of this leyline is like a smooth curved surface, but this curved surface is also reminiscent of a mirror, which means that the focusing and reflection of energy can also be applied to it."

"If the enemy is distorting the entire London, the focused bombardment area should be... a hemispherical ultra-long distance from the ground to the sky, which is generally full coverage."

Chapter 129 The sky cracked

"Full coverage in the general sense?"

"I'm afraid so. Using the special distortion formed by the earth vein structure, we cannot attack the underground spirit veins, because that is the basis of the technique of the reflective surface in the structural concept, and it cannot and should not be used as an attack target."

"I see. If we just need to sneak underground..."

"But Lord Barthelmero, if the enemy is targeting the Clock Tower forces throughout the city as possible targets for hiding Aleister, our numbers are too large, and it will take too long to rely solely on the diving technique—"

"Then just discard the 'unnecessary' personnel." Lorelai answered very straightforwardly.

"..." Weber's communication signal fell silent. He once again realized the inhumanity of the magic world. He knew what kind of people those abandoned people were without much thought.

Is it a sin to have no bloodline? ...A magic organization of this level...

"Okay, that's the end of the communication. I'll have someone compile the information and send it to the deans of each department. You stay on standby and observe the direction of the ground veins at any time."

"Lord Barthelmero! Please listen to me. I don't think this is feasible. Mathers cannot fail to consider the possibility that his opponent has sneaked underground!" Weber said gritting his teeth.

Normally it would be almost impossible for him to object to the monarch's decision, but since his life might be at stake, he had to take the risk and refute it this time.

"Oh?" Barthemelo didn't hang up for a moment, not because she had a different opinion of Weber. She was mainly dissatisfied with the current "passive escape" strategy, but a head-on attack would most likely be frustrated again, so she wanted to hear any different ideas.

"There is a speed problem when diving. The enemy's artillery fire is obviously too powerful. If we don't dive deep enough when the attack comes, we may also face losses."

Just as a nuclear shelter built underground cannot completely defend against a nuclear strike directly above one's head, this view, while conservative, is reasonable when considering the enemy's firepower estimates.

"Secondly, the enemy has overlooked the underground attack range by setting up this configuration. It is also possible that the enemy has set up surveillance on the ground veins and nearby areas."

Indeed, if the range of the strike on the ground reaches such a wide range, it is likely that a monitoring technique with corresponding accuracy and distance will be needed. If it is possible to do so on the ground, then there is no reason not to do so in the underground area that is the basis of the technique.

"Well, that makes sense. So, what is your solution...?"

"Sir, I think the key is to find the 'eyes' that the other party can monitor. It is also very likely that this is the basis for the other party to operate the entire London distortion technique."

"But everyone knows this, right?" Barthelmero said in a cold tone. What she wanted was not a simple rejection, but a feasible action plan. "How are you going to find this 'eye'?"

"I..." Weber was a little speechless for a moment. His rebuttal this time was still a bit impulsive. The arguments were prepared very hastily. Without decisive intelligence, he could not effectively connect all of this.

Just when the conversation between the two seemed to have ended, a third party arrived.
