Hanasari: "What's this?"
"It's true that she's pretty, but her incompatible aura is too obvious." Li Mo said, "Let's go, Hua Sanli, let's follow her and take a look."
"Oh, this is not good."
"No, that's fine."
Yes, very good.
Li Mo's perception ability was not very strong, and he could not see through someone's background at a glance. But... he could see that from another perspective, the performer wearing a monkey mask was so obvious, like a bonfire in the dark night.
How could I not go when it was such an obvious invitation?
Singapore's urban construction is very good, with roads extending in all directions. It is not surprising that such a small country, with a rich financial economy, has achieved this.
At first, Hanasari didn't understand why Li Mo followed the performer, but as time passed, she understood why Li Mo did it.
The place we were heading to was getting more and more remote, with fewer and fewer people around. In a horror movie, this is the time before the horror scene begins.
Of course, if you really encounter a ghost in a horror movie, it's not necessarily scary. Who hasn't been a ghost?
"That's about it. All the pedestrians nearby have been driven away. The cameras and other things have also been blocked. Where else are you going? An unknown magician."
The performer who was leaving with the cart stopped and said in a crisp voice: "Really? Ah, I didn't expect to meet someone unexpected."
Li Mo: "Didn't you show your presence when you first got off the plane? The guests are here, shouldn't you introduce yourself as the host?"
"Hello, Master of Caster in Fuyuki City. I am Giz from the Wandering Sea."
The monkey mask disappeared, the thick makeup disappeared, and in its place, there was a face.
The moment she saw that face, Hanasari understood what a "beautiful beauty" was. She was so beautiful that it sent chills down one's spine, and reminded one of the gray wolves that were active tens of thousands of years ago.
Like, a poisonous poppy.
Chapter 576: Transaction
The Magic Association has three organizations: Clock Tower, Atlas Institute, and Wandering Sea. Among them, Clock Tower is active in the field of magicians, and its reach covers many places. Atlas Institute hides in the Atlas Mountains in Egypt. And Wandering Sea, its site is located on a huge movable mountain.
Among the three organizations, the Wandering Sea is a more mysterious place than the other two organizations. Most of the magicians in it will not appear on Earth. The magic of the Age of Gods they pursue cannot be realized in the environment of Earth. Therefore, seeing a magician from the Wandering Sea outside is as rare as seeing a giant panda.
Hua Sanli, who had common sense, tilted her head slightly to express her confusion, while Li Mo, who understood everything, had a blank expression on his face.
He said: "If the magician of the Wandering Sea doesn't conduct his own research behind the door, why would he leave the Wandering Sea?"
"Please forgive me for not being able to answer you, Li Mo from Fuyuki City."
"I suggest you not add the Fuyuki City prefix. I don't have that deep of a connection with that city."
Giz: "But isn't Fuyuki City where you first appeared?"
Fuyuki City, that's where everything started. The Type-Moon Universe started from there, and Li Mo's presence in the Type-Moon Universe also started from there.
And what Giz meant was that Li Mo's actions on this earth started from Fuyuki City.
Li Mo said: "Clock Tower, no... should I say, how detailed will the Law and Politics Department's investigation of me be?"
The magician of the Wandering Sea would not recognize him, so he could only get his information from the Clock Tower. The other factions of the Clock Tower would not care about what happened in the Far East, except for the Law and Politics Department... After dealing with Kanono Hishiri for a long time, Li Mo knew that the people in that department were more like politicians who mastered magic than magicians. Compared with the so-called roots, they probably cared about power and money.
"As you said, I got the information about you from the Law and Politics Department. I'm curious about you. How did you learn the Age of Gods magic from Caster?"
"Why not? My Caster is a magician from the Age of Gods. If she is willing to teach, why can't I learn?" Li Mo asked back.
Giz: "No, no, no, you should understand. Mr. Li Mo, the magic of the Age of Gods is no longer suitable for the modern environment. It has been degraded."
"It's a secret." Li Mo replied.
Why can I learn magic from the Age of Gods in modern times? Is it possible that I learned modern magic that Medea had analyzed? However, Li can now freely use various magic from the Age of Gods.
Magic in the Age of Gods was performed with the help of the power of gods. Li Mo did not sign a contract with the gods, but what was the difference between him and the gods? If he did not worry about the consequences, he would start the "Sainthood Ceremony" and kill the gods he met. But the consequence was that he would be assimilated into the pan-cultural concept of "Odin".
Anyway, just keep it a secret. Just like women, magicians always have something to hide.
"Is that so? Then, Mr. Li Mo, are you interested in a gamble?"
"Gambling? Are you talking about gambling in front of a Chinese person?"
bet.
Li Mo doesn't like this word.
This kind of thing always makes people think of losing everything and breaking up the family.
Giz: "Let's change the term. How about we make a deal?"
Sensing keenly the disgust revealed by Li Mo, Jizhuan Lezhong spoke.
Transaction... This word touched Li Mo's mind.
Unconsciously, I, like Koyanskaya, have come to like this word. What's wrong with equal exchange? If it were me in my previous life, I would have found it troublesome.
Because trading means communicating with others.
"What deal?"
Gizzi revealed his chips.
……
……
The shrine maiden shikigami departed from the airport, left Singapore, and headed for the location given by Illya. Rin and others had started salvaging Zheng He's treasure ship last year, so Illya and others knew where Rin and others were, so they could go directly there when they wanted to.
When the shikigami arrived at their destination, they happened to see a battle. The magician from Atlas Academy was controlling the Bone Titan and fighting the Servants. It was obvious that in front of two Servants, even a genius magician from Atlas Academy could only be defeated and retreat.
Two of the three shikigami floated to the island, bringing a message. The remaining one returned to Singapore to inform the master of the relevant information. They have no thoughts of their own and can only act according to the originally designed rules. After Li Mo's continuous transformation, they can be continuously iterated and updated. Just like AI, it will probably take a long time for them to develop a personality like humans.
The shrine maidens and shikigami did not move quickly. When they returned to Li Mo, he was sitting in the restaurant with Hanasari enjoying the food. When the shrine maidens and shikigami passed on what they saw to Li Mo.
He knew, and the story had changed.
"No wonder he came to me." Li Mo judged after receiving the news.
Obviously, the changes in the Fifth Holy Grail War also affected the adventure of the current monarch, El-Melloi II. After all, originally, it was just Rin Tōsaka, so it wouldn't matter if there were two more magicians. But there were two more servants.
Servant is a "realm record belt" and is the highest level of familiar. Its combat power is much higher than that of a normal magician, or in other words, a magician is almost no match for a servant.
The reason why it is almost is that humans can always create miracles. There are also many abnormal magicians, such as Bazett.
"silent."
"What's wrong? Hanasari."
"Have you really decided to accept the deal with that magician? I always feel that the other party has bad intentions." Hua Sanli said while drinking milk tea.
Li Mo: "Why not? Tokyo, I don't even plan to go to Tokyo, let alone affect him there?"
"But he also asked that the servants not follow him." Hanasari added.
The deal between the Wild Magician and the Wandering Sea Magician was actually very simple. The price Li Mo had to pay was that when he returned to Japan, he would restrict his servants from going to Tokyo, and Li Mo himself could not do anything to Giz and his disciples.
This shows what plans Gizzi has in Tokyo.
Li Mo: "It doesn't matter, we'll just see what happens when the time comes. At worst I can go with you, and if there's any danger I'll just breach the contract."
"You don't want the reward he offered?"
"If you can't get it, then you can't get it. Don't worry." Li Mo replied: "We've almost finished our meal and milk tea. Hanasari, we should go meet up with Ying and the others. I wonder if Medusa will miss me?"
Faced with these words, Hanasanri showed a quiet smile.
At times like this, just smile.
Chapter 577 The Second Path
"The Six Sources of the Alatus Institute? Professor, I remember that they were ancient entities similar to the monarch lineage of the Clock Tower."
"Emiya Shirou, you are right. But you don't need to worry about this matter."
One of the Six Sources of Atlas, this is indeed a strong identity. But El-Melloi II himself is the monarch of the Clock Tower, and is as famous as the Six Sources of Atlas. From a political perspective, he is not inferior to the other party.
In terms of combat power, he completely crushes the opponent. With the combat power of two servants, one of whom is Archer, one of the top three, he can defeat the opponent no matter what...
Victory is victory, but how to properly deal with it is a troublesome matter.
He looked at his newfound enemy, Ergo. The girl whose full name was Latio Kurdris Hiram came just for him.
"Professor. Is there anything I can do for you?" the tall red-haired man said nervously after being noticed.
El-Melloi II: "Are you still hungry, Ergo?"
The latter nodded, confirming his idea.
"I have a hypothesis about what happened to you... I'm afraid that what you have is not amnesia."
"…What do you mean?"
"If I have to use an analogy, it's because the hard drive capacity is full, causing the memory to overflow. In other words, it's just a matter of pure information volume."
El-Melloi II said, just as he usually did when he was teaching in El-Melloi, as calmly as a doctor announcing that a patient's condition had worsened.
"The amount of information a person possesses is like a mustard seed on a mountain, compared to the amount of information a being called 'God' possesses. Simply put, humans cannot bear the huge amount of information that 'God' possesses. If we really want to create that possibility, we can only compress it, just like a compressed file in a computer. Compress the originally huge amount of data into an acceptable size."
"This type of magic is not rare. Putting planets into a globe is something humans are good at. At the same time, the advent of gods is also a legend that exists all over the world. In particular, witches are beings that receive information from gods, which is recorded in many documents. But no matter what kind of witch, they cannot face the gods for a long time, because the human container cannot withstand just touching the 'god'. On top of that, what about swallowing the gods?"
El-Melloi II did not stop talking because of the question. He continued, "Hands are evolution. The reason why humans are human is that they can make tools and master tools with their hands. Based on this, humans stand out from primates. At the same time, the pressure on the fingers and the information that the fingers naturally input to us also have a certain impact on evolution.
In other words, isn't the hand God? - Such a theory also exists. People cannot observe the complete God, so they use their hands to observe, just like a blind man touching an elephant. Even if they cannot get the full picture of God, they can get a partial symbol of God. In this process, your phantom hand not only symbolizes power, but also means that you continue to receive huge information from God. "
The story of the blind men and the elephant is about four blind men using their hands to understand what an elephant is. The first person who touched the elephant's body thought it was a wall; the second person who touched its feet thought it was a tree trunk; the third person who touched the elephant's trunk thought it was a water pipe; the fourth person who touched the elephant's teeth thought it was a long, smooth stick.
The elephant is huge to the blind. It is impossible to obtain all the information about the elephant at once, so we can only infer the result based on partial information. But if we combine the information of the four blind people, wouldn’t we be able to get the shape of the elephant?
If it doesn't work once, try it twice. Keep getting information. If you keep doing it, you will be able to absorb all the information from God. This is what El-Melloi II wanted to say.
"There is no doubt that obtaining information about God will squeeze out your human memory. Just like when downloading, if there is not enough space on the hard drive, the original information on the hard drive will be overwritten. This is why your memory disappeared."
"Based on the number of your arms, I think the three pillars of gods are inside you. I don't know what they are using, but I think it's not just encapsulated inside. Instead, you can use the power of 'God' at any time. The phenomenon on you is not a simple possession, but more like a descent of God. You can even consider the possibility of merging with God. But I think that compared to this possibility, the possibility of a living God incubating in your body is greater. Naturally, the more the divine side of you is exposed, the human side of you will be rejected."
Whether it is fusion or hatching, the human named Ergo will disappear. The former will become a part of the god, while the latter will disappear completely.
"Soon, your personality and memory will completely collapse."
El-Melloi II said so.
