Chapter 386
She was really afraid that if she stayed here for a long time, she would eventually be contaminated by those fairies, join in with them, and lose the ability to return to Avalon.
Artoria admired Queen Morgan 4.8. What kind of mood and determination did Her Majesty have to persist in maintaining the existence of this island for six thousand years.
She considered herself a person who would not give up easily, but compared with Queen Morgan, it seemed that her persistence was nothing.
"Boss, bring me the best and best food you have here!"
Arturia, who had a clear idea, sat down next to Saigo and shouted to the trembling owner of the tavern with a face full of fear.
"Hey, your current position belongs to me. You country goblin, you really have no education at all!"
Seeing Arturia sitting next to Saigo familiarly, Bavanshi shouted angrily.
But Artoria, who had figured it out, ignored her at all.
…
At the same time, in the southeastern waters of the British Island, Chaldea's 'spaceship' finally approached the British Island.
Chapter 95 The Chaldean people arrived
"The British Isles are ahead!"
Captain Nemo stood at the bow of the ship. She looked at the edge of the island in the distance and shouted with a serious face.
As she finished speaking, many Chaldean staff who were chatting in the cabin hurried forward and saw the outline of the British Isles from the huge glass window.
The British Isles is absolutely no stranger to magicians. The Clock Tower, one of the three major institutions of the Magic Association in LONDON, is truly famous among the magicians.
Compared to the low-key Atlas Academy and Wandering Sea, the existence of the Clock Tower almost makes magicians think that it is the Magic Association itself.
But this time when they saw the British Island again, everyone had complicated expressions.
It is now 2017 AD, but even if they have not yet landed on the island, everyone in Chaldea knows that this island has nothing in common with modern Britain.
"As expected, the British Lostbelt has become a singularity. We don't even need to travel through the storm to intercept the outside world."
"...And from this position, you can't see Britain's fantasy tree. That fantasy tree has been cut down long ago."
Little Da Vinci moved forward. She carefully observed the outline of the British Isles from a high altitude and said with a frown.
Normally, no matter which Lostbelt one goes to, the first thing that catches everyone's eyes in Chaldea is the fantasy tree that almost touches the sky.
It can be said that the location of the Fantasy Tree has designated the target range for Chaldea, but this time there is nothing on the British Island.
"According to Chaldea's instrument detection, there is a huge curse that cannot be seen but can be clearly felt around the British Islands, spreading along the Atlantic Ocean to all parts of the world."
Ziyuan stood in front of an instrument. Above the instrument was a map of the British Isles, and around the map was a dark purple outline surrounding the island.
And these dark purple outlines are also spreading in all directions, seeming to curse the entire planet.
"Instrumental detection results indicate that the source of the curse is probably in the central area of the British island."
"...Although we can't see the Dreaming Tree, these curses have pointed out the direction for us. We just need to head towards the center of Britain!"
Ziyuan pointed at the 3D model map of Britain. There was a purple and black dot in the middle.
I don’t know if the effectiveness of the instrument ends here, and it cannot detect too far a distance.
The curse there is still too terrifying, and it is impossible to even speculate on the specific data about the center point.
"This... is just like the Fukushima nuclear power plant."
Ritsuka looked at the map of the spread of the curse in Britain and said subconsciously.
Everyone glanced at her, and Holmes nodded slightly: "...I also know a little bit about the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in the history of pan-humanity."
"...Ritsuka, you are right. The current situation in Britain is very similar to the Fukushima nuclear power plant."
"The entire British island, from that central point, is emitting 'nuclear waste' to the entire world."
"... Ordinary nuclear waste may still be purified by the ocean, but the curse emanating from Britain is absolutely impossible to be purified by the ocean."
"Fortunately, these curses are not physical things, but a mysterious manifestation. As long as the source of the curse is solved, they will disappear."
After finishing speaking, Holmes looked around and said solemnly: "...No matter what you do, you must have a purpose."
"...If there is no purpose, then we will wander around like headless flies and achieve nothing in the end."
"As Chaldea's advisor, since you trust me, let me explain the purpose of this operation."
"...Different from the previous Lostbelt guide, this time our goal is not to cut down the fantasy tree, but to prevent the spread of the curse and save the history of pan-humanity."
"Everyone, this is probably the last difficulty we have to face. The alien god has been severely damaged, and the initiator of the bleached earth has lost its danger."
"...According to Kirshtalia's analysis, the South American Lost Belt has become quite easy to solve. Now our last problem is the British Island."
"The situation on the British Isles is unknown for the time being. We only speculate that the former king of the Lostbelt here was 'Monster Concubine Morgan'."
"...If it was just Morgan, the difficulty here should be simpler than the Greek Lostbelt, but..."
Holmes did not finish his words, but his heavy expression made everyone look worried.
They all knew what Holmes meant by 'but', that is, there is definitely not only Morgan on the British Isles, but also a 'great existence' they had seen in the Greek Lostbelt. '
Even now, just thinking back to that incredible power still makes everyone in Chaldea feel heavy.
"Mr. Holmes, I have a question."
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand obediently.
Under the gaze of everyone, Ritsuka said worriedly: "...What if, I mean if, what if the Excellency named 'Zarathustra' prevents us from destroying the curse?"
From Chaldea's investigation and calculation, the source of the so-called 'Steel Land' is the 'pollution' hidden in those curses.
Therefore, Chaldea believes that as long as the spread of the curse is stopped, the destruction of the planet and human history can be prevented.
"From common sense, He will not stop us."
"... If He wants to stop us, there is no need to let us go to Britain. He can just get rid of us all in the Greek Lostbelt."
"I believe that the 'evil god' has such ability."
"... But He did not do so, but let us go to Britain. I think carefully and don't think He must let us go to Britain to do anything."
"That is to say, we are not a necessary condition, it is more like a whim, just like the pleasure of gods playing with the fate of mortals."
"... This kind of thing has a basis. It can be seen from the myths and legends of major civilizations that most gods have such a bad taste in playing with mortals."
"Based on the reasoning of all the existing evidence, my conclusion is Even if Zarathustra will not take the initiative to stop us, he will definitely create a lot of trouble for us. "
"...Of course, the above is just the reasoning of a detective, and it is also a reflection on "human nature", but "divinity" is not within the scope of my thinking and reasoning, because I don't understand "divinity". "
Speaking of this, Holmes paused again, and he said the last chilling words in a very calm tone: "...But if that existence really stops us, we need to be enemies with it."
"...Then please give up your life and fight for everything you have. Even if you know that there is no result, you must let the gods see the unyielding resistance of mankind. "
"This may also be the last resistance of mankind to fate. "
There was silence in the hall.
Holmes' words were quite demoralizing, but everyone knew that what he said was right.
At this point, they didn't need to deceive themselves anymore. They had to admit that the great existence was not something they could contend with, and there was absolutely no hope!
...
"The Chaldean people have finally arrived."
"... Before the end of the world comes, let's have a thorough fun. Whether it is this planet or the restraint of mankind, I'm afraid they will have to fight hard."
"This will be a gorgeous performance!"
Xiang stood at a window and looked at the coastline. Before his goal was about to be achieved, he hoped for a perfect and grand ending.
Chapter 96 The organization has appointed you as King Arthur!
The Chaldean airship approached the coastal area of the British Isles.
"Fortunately, the British Isles here are not like pan-human history, and there are patrols in the coastal areas."
"...Of course, even if it is pan-human history, I don't think Britain can detect our arrival."
"This is the confidence of me, the omnipotent man, in Chaldea!"
Compared to the adult form of Leonardo da Vinci, the child form of Leonardo da Vinci has become much more lively and cheerful.
When the Chaldean spaceship finally landed on the British Isles, she cheered.
"Chaldea has logged in and will enter radio silence from now on."
"...One is to prevent the 'Singularity Britain' from having special means to detect the existence of Chaldea, and the other is to save energy."
Captain Nemo controlled the entire ship and said to the 'soldiers' of Chaldea who were about to go on the expedition.
"I have a bad news for you."
At this time, Shion, a special consultant, also spoke. She looked solemn, stared at the machine in front of her, and said slowly: "...According to calculations, you only have two months to resolve the incident."
"...After two months, all the curses will completely infect this planet, and the pollution inside will completely destroy the planet, which means that the 'Land of Steel' will come!"
"Finally, I remind everyone again, if Chaldea really cannot prevent the spread of the curse and the arrival of the Land of Steel, please collect as much information about the 'Land of Steel' as possible."
"...This is extremely important for humans in other parallel worlds, please everyone!"
The alternate dean from the Atlas Institute said solemnly.
"Ms. Shion, it's unlucky to think about failure before things even begin."
Fujimaru Ritsuka complained helplessly after hearing Shion's words.
Ziyuan shook his head at her: "...This is not a question of auspiciousness. The alchemists of the Atlas Institute don't care about auspiciousness or unluckyness."
"...This is just the best choice I made after careful consideration. Of course, if possible, I hope you can succeed~"! "
She put on a girlish smile and cheered up Ritsuka and the others.
On the other side, the Hidden Ones are also having final discussions.
"Let me tell you first, I no longer have a heroic spirit, but my injury has not healed yet, so I cannot go to the British Isles with you."
Kadok, who was once a member of Group A and one of the Hidden Ones, said to Kirshtalia and others who were about to set off.
Kirshtalia, the leader of Group A, did not say anything, but comforted him: "...I will not let you go to the battlefield, Kadok. I no longer have such qualifications."
"...Pepe, you don't have to follow us. Since you have lost your heroic spirit, your risk factor will also increase significantly."
Pepeloncino smiled exaggeratedly at this time: "...No need to persuade me, captain! There are some things that I have to do!"
"...Although a bad guy like me doesn't ask for so-called redemption, he is not too cowardly to dare to fight!"
Kadok muttered dissatisfiedly: "...Hey, why do I think you are targeting me?"
"Hahaha! Little Kadoc, I'm not talking about you, I'm just talking about myself!"
Pepeloncino laughed loudly, thrusting his arm around his waist.
Kirshtalia took a deep look at Pepeloncino, and he sighed: "...Okay, then it's up to you."
"Hmph, I didn't expect that I would have to fight with these guys. It's really unpleasant."
Katniss crossed her arms and looked at the Chaldeans, expressing her dissatisfaction loudly.
"Excuse me, Katniss! The contract between us should have ended, but you are still willing to fight for me, and I am deeply grateful for that!"
Even when facing her own servants, Kirshtalia was polite and sincerely apologized without any pretense.
"This is out of my own will. You don't need to thank me or put away your attitude. I don't need this!"
If we talk about Katniss at the beginning, she was shocked by Kirshtalia's plan and was willing to help him.
So now Katniss has a real bond with this magician, and it's more like helping him as a friend.
Seeing Katniss say this, Kirshtalia smiled and said nothing more.
On the other side, Holmes and Leonardo da Vinci were also discussing the final question.
"No, no, you can't leave together. Chaldea is the headquarters, the place where everyone's intelligence is collected and analyzed!"
"...If Chaldea falls, everything will be over!"
The director of Chaldea, Goldruff, shook his head hurriedly after hearing that Leonardo da Vinci and Holmes, as heroic spirits, were preparing to land on the British Island together.
Although he was indeed afraid of death, the director was right. Chaldea should leave a group of heroic spirits to protect it after all.
