Moreover, judging from the appearance, one would instinctively feel uncomfortable.
Li Mo's plan is to enter the black mud and lure out Avenger. Everything he has done so far is to disintegrate the Holy Grail, and he is worried that Avenger will interfere with the process.
Black mud is not scary because it has no subjective consciousness and is a dead object, left there to be slowly resolved. But Avenger is different, she has her own personality, and it has been proven that she can influence the outside world.
More importantly, Li Mo remembered that after the plot of the fsn game ended, there was another game that told the story of half a year after the Fifth Holy Grail War, when Avenger signed a contract with Bazette and went on a four-day cycle in Fuyuki City.
The content is roughly like this. From this glimpse, we can see that if Avenger is allowed to accumulate power over time, it can interfere with the outside world. And it takes time for Medea to disintegrate the "Great Holy Grail".
Li Mo said: "This is what I should do. It doesn't matter. Black mud is a special attack on spirits. It won't have that much impact on us normal humans. At most, it will be the same as Kiritsugu."
In fact, what Li Mo wanted to talk about more was Kotomine Kirei, the priest who once soaked himself in black mud, but his subsequent life was not affected at all.
Kiritsugu's untimely death probably had little to do with Kuroni.
"Goyanskaya-san."
"Understood, Master. NFF is at your service at any time."
Gao Yanskaya and Medea will be waiting outside, and they will help him as soon as Li Mo gives the signal.
He had a vague feeling that he would not be alone when he entered the black mud. The person who would accompany him would most likely be Gao Yanskaya-san.
Black mud's special attack on spirits may not work on Koyanskaya-san. Gilgamesh was able to resist the erosion of black mud and complete his "incarnation". So will she, who is "human evil" herself, be affected?
Li Mo didn't know, he didn't think too much about it.
Action is worse than thought. When he took that step, his previous panic became extremely calm. Li Mo walked on the black mud. He performed magic like Altria who was blessed by the elves, walking on the black mud as if walking on flat ground.
The black mud occupied the place where the lake water was. The originally clear lake became a place where the black mud accumulated. From time to time, bubbles could be seen rising from the black mud.
It's like a swamp.
It's like I'm walking on a swamp and nothing is happening?
As he gradually approached the Holy Grail, Li Mo thought of a question: what if Avenger didn't appear in front of him? Would he just start absorbing the black mud?
Li Mo lowered his eyes and focused his attention on the black mud. He felt obviously uncomfortable. The black mud was the malice of human beings. Walking on it felt like being targeted.
It’s like the feeling of loneliness that arises at a certain moment when you are alone in school.
It's like other people are playing jokes on me, using all kinds of unpresentable nicknames to describe my irritability.
It's like feeling ashamed, embarrassed and uncomfortable in front of others after things go wrong.
This is the effect of the black mud. Just walking on it can make you feel the malice. If you really sink into it...
Li Mo thought of ghosts. The existence that was transformed from humans and fed on humans was itself full of malice. When that kind of monster faced humans, the saliva it left behind and the appetite it revealed were the greatest malice.
At that time, whenever I arrived a little late and saw the mutilated bodies, I felt my cerebral blood pressure rise.
Later, as I saw more and more, I gradually became indifferent. But the hatred is there, like a volcano that has not erupted, and all the emotions will become energy for the next eruption.
It was because of the experience in that world that I began to pursue strength. Only in this way can I avoid regrets in the future. Just like the last time at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain, if I was strong enough, could I provide Miss Hanasari with the basis of existence?
There are so many thoughts and emotions that affect the whole body.
But soon, reason prevailed. Li Mo realized why he suddenly started to recall the past. He should be more cautious when walking on the black mud.
Come on, reminiscing during a battle, this isn't a Naruto theater.
The next second, he roughly knew what happened.
The surrounding environment has changed. It used to be a lake on Yuanzang Mountain, and flowers, plants and trees can still be seen around it. Even if I am blind, I can still see flowers, plants and trees. However, the flowers and plants are no longer the same flowers and plants, and the trees are no longer the same trees.
Even the day and night have changed. What was supposed to be a dark night has now turned into a bright day. I was clearly among the mountains before, but now I can hear the sound of the waves.
Looking again, Li Mo found himself at the place where he went fishing on the day he fought with Cu Chulainn.
Obviously, this was not teleportation, sending me to that place, because the time didn't match.
Moreover, he had seen the woman standing there.
A jet-black palace dress, long snow-white hair, and pale skin.
And, a face that is almost identical to Illya's.
Chapter 196 My Dear Master
There is a kind of magic called the living person magic, in which a place where there is no one originally is covered with a curtain or something, and then when the curtain is opened, you can see a person standing there.
In fact, this is created by some mechanism using human visual errors, which can be explained by scientific principles.
This is the magic performed on stage that ordinary people see.
For a true magus, the ability to move through space, which only exists in the imagination of ordinary people, is real. The Caster in this Holy Grail War, Medea, can do this.
Only she can do it.
Illya knew this. Medea mastered the magic of space movement, but neither she nor Li Mo had learned it. Admittedly, I only studied for a few days, but this time was enough to understand the learning situation of my deskmate.
Then why did Li Mo suddenly disappear in the middle of the lake?
When you have questions, you need to seek answers, and the person who can answer them is Medea.
"Master, we should have entered the interior of the Holy Grail."
The inside of the Holy Grail?
Illya asked: "Is this the only way?"
"Avenger won't come out." Medea said.
"No, what I want to ask is, can't we just destroy the Holy Grail? The last time we destroyed the Holy Grail, we bought ourselves ten years, so why not this time?"
Illya asked, even if Einzbern had never taught her about this, she could infer this from the facts.
She now had the illusion that she hadn't gotten enough.
Are Medea and the others, or even Li Sang, hiding something?
Illya's question undoubtedly made Medea fall silent. The witch's expression did not show any flaws, but her attitude said it all.
"Leave this matter to me to explain." Gao Yanskaya said with a smile.
Assassin, Koyanskaya.
Illya doesn't like this Servant very much, because like Archer, he is very likely a Heroic Spirit born in the modern or future. She knows his real name, but can't infer anything from it.
Even more annoying than Archer. At least Archer's real name is the contestant in this Holy Grail War. Everyone knows him, but what about this Miss Assassin? It's like she jumped out of a crack in the stone.
It seemed that even Medea-san didn't know the other party's origins, and only Li-san knew who she was and what she had done.
and……
Illya always felt that this woman was too good at hiding things, and her whole body was filled with the smell of secrets.
"You know what? Illya-chan, men actually like to pursue power. Whether it's the power of money, the power of power, or the power of fighting. They are always working tirelessly. In the group of magicians, the proportion of men is actually higher than that of women, especially among excellent magicians, there are more men than women.
The Master is only seeking power."
Gao Yanskaya's explanation was confusing, but Illya understood that Li Mo's entry into the Holy Grail was premeditated.
In other words...Did Li Sang deceive us?
As if she understood Illya's thoughts, Gao Yanskaya said: "I'm not lying. Master told you that killing Avenger and dismantling the Holy Grail is one of our goals. Compared to the contaminated wishing machine, Master values the "Third Law" more. "
The third method is "materialization of the soul."
Among the five great magics, the first and fourth magics have no information about their users. The holder of the second magic is the Marshal of Magic, a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. The successor of the fifth magic seems to be a Japanese. And the third magic has lost its successor.
The last successor, Justisa von Einzbern, turned her body into the Greater Holy Grail. The Greater Holy Grail is now the crystallization of the Third Law.
Illya was sure that Li Mo valued the third method, or rather, he valued Medea's research on the Holy Grail. After all, he couldn't study the third method at his level.
So……
"In that case, what reason did Li-san have to enter the Holy Grail? It can't be for Avenger. It's not like he can't make Avenger his Servant."
Li Mo has signed three servants, and sometimes they discuss how he provides magic power for the three servants.
It's okay when not in combat, but once in combat, the amount of mana consumed is quite high. You should know that it was because Shirou didn't have enough mana that Saber couldn't transform into a spirit.
and so……
There are already three servants, so adding one more should be no problem. However, the appearance of Avenger is very likely to be his mother.
"Why do you say that?" asked Koyanskaya.
"It's just a hunch. So, what are you going to do? What is Li-san going to do? What is there in there that can increase his power?"
"Little girl, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
"Who do you think you are, little girl?"
Even though I'm small, I'm bigger than Shirou and the others! After all, I'm the older sister and I'm already an adult.
Considering the unknown age of the woman in front of him, judging from her figure, she must have been quite old when she became a Heroic Spirit.
Shaking her head, Illya threw away these complicated thoughts and asked, "Have you arranged Li-san's backup plan?"
"Illya-chan~ Why do you care so much about my Master?"
"I just think a good person shouldn't die so quickly."
"Really? Don't worry, Illya-chan. The Master will be fine."
Gao Yanskaya said to Ilya's little head. The height difference between the two was there, just like a mother and daughter.
"Don't touch my head."
Illya's resistance meant that she gave up asking further questions. That guy must have arranged all the subsequent matters.
Illya's consent represents the recognition of Shirou Emiya and others.
Seeing that these masters had no doubts, the doubtful eyes of other servants were focused on Gao Yanskaya. Compared with Medea, she obviously knew more.
Medusa appeared next to Goyanskaya and asked, "What exactly does he want to do?"
"Didn't I tell you? Pursue power."
"He's not the obsessive, crazy type."
"He has reasons for having to do this, Rider, please be at ease."
It seemed that she noticed her concern from the other person's unusual behavior. Gao Yanskaya comforted the other person.
