Lost Narrative Poetry

Xia Ran shook his head gently to cut away all irrelevant thoughts, and regained absolute clarity. Xia Ran stood under the illumination of the large light ball and carefully examined his spiritual state on the platform.

However, the result is the same. The state connection like quantum entanglement still exists, and the second method is still functioning. Whether it is active or passive characteristics, it seems that it has not been affected at all.

However.

No matter what, the status of "Compatibility Mode" still turned gray, and he could not directly synchronize the information of that existence——

Of course, it cannot be said that synchronization is completely impossible. The main problem is that the amount of data that needs to be synchronized is too large. Even if the computing power is comparable to that of a supercomputer and the thinking ability is countless times greater than that of ordinary people, he still cannot carry it all well. .

The main reason for this situation seems to be the huge difference in the flow rate of time at both ends of time and space.

In the dimension of time and space where the Demon Buddha's clone is located, the speed of time is really crazy. Xia Ran has not accurately tested the specific ratio, but it is really not a pediatric situation of "one day here, one year there".

After all, if there was only a mere three hundred and sixty-five times difference in time flow rate, then this situation would actually be nothing to him.

It is definitely not possible for such a phenomenon to occur...

Therefore, the magician has some doubts. In this short period of time, hundreds of years may have passed by the demon Buddha's clone...

"We can only take our time..." The magician had a headache and sighed helplessly, gently stroking his forehead. The problem was actually not too bad. As long as the second method continued to work, there was no need for any trouble. .

All heavens are unique, diverse and unique. He will only be himself and cannot become anyone else.

And if you think about it from another angle, this is not without its good aspects...

In the past, he had actually been working on some idea, thinking that maybe when the time came, he would be able to find a way to return directly.

At that time, perhaps under the transcendent rules of space, all forms of one's existence, including the differentiated multiple existences, will be taken away together, thus escaping the evil intentions of the Buddhist bigwigs. The "devil's clutches"...

But now it seems that it is not feasible, and the plan can be said to have failed.

However, from a purely emotional point of view, since Xia Ran's second magic can still be activated, that is to say, as long as he is willing, he can still directly take back the existing body...

It's just that Xia Ran thought about it very seriously and finally accepted the idea and didn't choose to do it. Because he felt that since the Buddhist boss had no ill intentions, then this behavior must have deep meaning.

Since there is no danger to your own existence for the time being, let's leave it like this for now. There is no need to take it back in a hurry. You can keep it for a while to see what's going on. What is sold in the big man's gourd? What medicine...

Anyway, Xia Ran had this idea before and was preparing to release his multiple existences to travel across the world.

While the magician was thinking about various things, he gently leaned down and gently picked up the blond girl next to him.

Arturia's ability is not enough to reach his level, and she can penetrate the mystery of space and time teleportation without any influence, so after returning, she has not been able to maintain a clear consciousness like Xia Ran.

It was exactly the same as in the past, whether she was prepared or not, from her subjective point of view, maybe she was half asleep and half awake, and she had unknowingly ushered in the unknown time of another dimension.

"Well……"

At this time, a soft hum came, but Artoria, who had just been picked up by the magician, had also quickly woken up.

Maybe it would take some time for her to wake up, but now she was touched by an external force, which naturally accelerated the process. After all, this half-awake state was originally like a dream, and she happened to be a sensitive person. .

Just like how a normal person sleeps, as long as he is not in a particularly dead sleep, he should wake up after being shaken a few times.

"You're awake. I was just thinking about whether to carry you back to your room." Xia Ran said calmly.

Although this human area was originally set up out of some bad taste and to remind himself to quickly enter the state before each mission, there was only one background theme in the style of the "Lord God Space" that was fixed in the endless void. huge platform...

And a large light ball that only emits light and can only serve as a light source. It has no practical functions and there is no way to check and exchange for enhanced attributes...

Apart from that, there is nothing, only two lonely doors, leading to the public area for ordinary lost people, and the gathering area for the true veterans of the demigod realm. There are no personal rooms. set up.

However, this is not unchangeable, and it can be done by spending some insignificant points. He was just thinking about whether to reset the theme of his personal area.

"Well, Master...I, you...how..."

Arturia turned around in his arms and looked around. Her eyes were confused for a moment, and then she regained her clarity. She raised her head and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar personal area in front of her, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows——

"Is this... the inside of the Great Holy Grail? How did it become like this?"

She was a little unable to react, and just naturally remembered what happened before returning.

As a space staff member with the same official establishment, she was naturally brought back by the power of law when she returned. No matter how huge the malicious magic power inside the Great Holy Grail was, it could not stop the power of space.

But because of this, the unprepared Artoria was just like everyone else. She had no idea what was happening in the outside world at that time. She just remembered that she was exploring the interior of the Great Holy Grail not long ago. , want to save Irisviel's life...

The scenery within the Great Holy Grail initially showed a seemingly endless amount of scorching black mud, which was all the evil accumulated in this world in the amount of 700,000,000.

The mountains of corpses and seas of blood were endless, as if they were a rotten world that had been completely destroyed.

There is only one dark sun in the sky, or it is simply a "hole" with infinite density, enough to crush everything in the world, so it is mistaken for a celestial body like a black hole...

Only then did the King of Knights fully realize what kind of twisted thing the Holy Grail he was pursuing had turned into. If the Master had not stopped him, whether he would have been able to fulfill his wish or not, it would have definitely led to incomparable consequences. A terrible disaster.

From her own divine point of view, she clearly saw that the colorless power of the Holy Grail was contaminated. Although the function of "fulfilling wishes" has not changed, the way of realizing wishes has been added with endless "malice", often only Realized in twisted forms that bring destruction and disaster.

Therefore, once it is liberated, the Great Holy Grail will begin to flow out "all the evil in this world", evoke disasters and disasters, and continue to spread malice until it destroys all humans who should be cursed...

Even if she has grown to this level and has completely surpassed the standards of a Heroic Spirit Servant, she still cannot stand up to the weight of this weight of concept alone and can only protect herself in it.

And not long after entering the Great Holy Grail, the endlessly malicious entity entrenched in the depths of the Great Holy Grail finally set its sights on Artoria.

The successive changing scenes separated her from the others, and at the same time they also wanted to disturb her mind and interfere with her judgment.

From the original Holy Grail War, the Black Knight Lancelot reappeared...

To the blood-stained sunset battlefield, to the sword-rail battle where countless knights lay dead...

And then suppose that she makes a wish, realizes her dream through the endless magic of the Great Holy Grail, goes back to the past, saves the beautiful scenery of Britain, and shines the future of Camelot brilliantly, receiving countless joy and praise...

Just like this, the realistic illusion simulated by the vortex of the malicious magic power of the Great Holy Grail was constantly changing, and the blackened Irisviel frequently appeared in front of her, either offering kind words or softly pleading.

Even though Artoria was determined, she was still almost shaken. Fortunately, the Master had found a way to help her realize her dream, which largely eliminated her obsession. Otherwise, what would have been the outcome? It's really hard to say.

After all, this is a seven-inch hit, and the illusion simulated by the Great Holy Grail often points directly to a person's most painful inverse scales and deepest obsessions.

Then it was like this now. Artoria found that the scene in front of her had changed subversively again. It actually turned into a personal area scene in the space in her memory. Naturally, she subconsciously thought that it might be the Great Holy Grail. Confusing scene.

"...No." The magician replied concisely. "We have returned, with a little accident."

"What?!" The girl's slender eyebrows suddenly raised high, as if she couldn't accept it. "Have you returned? Why didn't I know? How could this happen?"

"You should be able to tell the truth from the false. This is no longer a scene simulated by the evil in this world..." Xia Ran looked at her and answered as calmly as possible, but in fact, he was talking about him.

"No, I mean why is this happening?"

Artoria jumped down from his arms. The lithe girl was very familiar with this. She was neither unfamiliar nor surprised. After all, when she couldn't fly, she often needed to rely on her Master to achieve rapid maneuvers.

She frowned tightly and looked at the surrounding space environment again, confirming that this was indeed the case: "Wasn't it fine before? I remember that the stay was at least three months away..."

"That's why I said a little accident. I will be killed today for a crime other than war..."

The magician sighed. There was nothing he could do about it. The boss condescended to him and came to recruit him personally.

"Accident..." Artoria frowned. She hated this word, and now after thinking about it calmly, she realized that this incident happened suddenly and was too hasty. She had not returned to what was going on before. It’s too late to solve it…

"Well, by the way, Medea and the others won't have any problems, right?"

Because her return was too sudden, she was really worried that the sudden departure of herself and her Master would not only fail to save Irisviel, but would also put Medea and others in danger...

It was like making an appointment with teammates to open up a dungeon, but not long after entering, two of them canceled their copies.

——Isn’t this a scam?

"Medea is more reliable than you think. She said she was not sure, but she has been studying the Great Holy Grail for ten years. She has even found the path to the third method. How could it not be possible? The plan to deal with black mud..."

The magician blinked and replied in a very calm tone.

"To be honest, if there really is a war in the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City, she has been operating it for ten years. Even if you face her head-on, you may not have much chance of winning... And although the incident happened in a hurry, I It’s not like nothing was done, so you don’t have to worry.”

Although I also feel a headache and feel a little unsure, I absolutely cannot show it at this time.

After all, if you are not calm enough, who can you expect to shoulder this responsibility?

Artoria felt a little relieved after hearing this. She breathed out softly: "That's good. I was worried that something might go wrong..."

When she said this, she took a few steps forward and came to Xia Ran. She thought of something again and continued to frown: "Wait, I seem to have overlooked something... By the way, Master, you haven't said what happened yet. What happened and why did it become like this?”

Finally realizing what was wrong, the girl stared at her Master with sharp eyes.

"..."

"..."

Hey, it seems that the diversion of attention failed? Is it because of the accumulation of experience that Artoria has become difficult to deal with now?

"I'm not sure either." Xia Ran felt a little surprised, but he still pondered for a moment, then shook his head and answered seemingly sincerely.

"Um?"

Arturia didn't seem to believe it, and her eyes suddenly became a little subtle. She narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully looked at the magician in front of her.

"Master, you don't know either?"

If she had subconsciously felt that this was some kind of sudden accident before, now she was basically certain that this incident definitely had something to do with her Master.

So - what did this guy do? !

"I didn't do anything."

Xia Ran gently raised his fist, put it to his mouth, coughed, and said calmly, but his vision became more and more erratic.

"I haven't asked anything yet, Master, that was just my mental activity..." Artoria said in a very dissatisfied tone, prolonging her tone. She had just suspected him, but he immediately jumped out and denied it. Isn't this a ghost in your heart?

"Your face is clearly full of distrust of me, but in my eyes you have actually asked..." Xia Ran defended herself seriously.

"..."

"..."

"So what's going on, Master?" Artoria snorted softly, as if she didn't want to let her Master get away with it so easily, "Can't you tell me?"

"As I said, I don't know either. Look at my sincere eyes..." the magician said very sincerely, while staring at his servant with very sincere eyes.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Artoria suddenly felt very angry. This person was no longer being perfunctory, but was insulting her own IQ.

"Why don't you believe it? Do you think I will lie to you?" Xia Ran spread his hands, looking helpless, "If you don't believe it, you can actually verify it!"

"How can I verify this kind of thing?"

"Baidu, just search to see if I am lying, and the search results are guaranteed to be zero. It shows that there is no such thing..."

"you……"

Artoria's eyes widened in disbelief. Can this man listen to what he is saying?

But just when she was angry and annoyed and wanted to continue saying something, the magician smiled and waved his hand:

"Okay, okay, I will definitely tell you what I can tell you. The main reason is that I really still don't understand what is going on. I am also confused. You can't blame me for this..."

Of course, he also knew that Artoria had a keen mind, and such an explanation did not satisfy her, but just like what he said, he himself still didn't understand what was going on.

Therefore, there is no point in telling this knight girl. It will only make her more troubled... After all, no matter how strong her nerves are, it will be difficult for her to continue to maintain a normal mind after knowing the specific situation.

It's better to let her have her own random thoughts——

After all, no matter how hard Arturia tried to think, she just felt that her master might have gotten out of hand and messed up some secret plan. But since she could handle everything in a hurry, she probably wouldn't It's such a bad situation.

In this case, you won't be too worried.

"I don't think so."

The King of Knights bit her lip and stared at him closely with extremely complicated eyes. Her face was very serious and a little unhappy.

"Master, I am your servant and your sword. Why do you always exclude me? Why do you always want to hide it from me?"

"..."

"..."

The magician seemed silent for a moment, and then he took a step forward and came to the girl.

The angry Arturia was waiting for his answer, so she couldn't help but wonder, but before she could react, she felt two palms directly on her shoulders. She subconsciously raised her eyes and met them. A pair of cool and clear eyes.

"Artoria, I'm sorry, I never noticed..." A soft voice sounded, making the girl's mind go blank for an instant.

After a second, she naturally panicked and tried to break free:

"You...Master, you...what are you doing?"

Because this ambiguous gesture really frightened her, because the Master put his hands on her shoulders and stared at her tenderly, with a smile on his lips.

This made her subconsciously want to avoid his sight and pull away. The anger in her heart suddenly disappeared, as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, so she just gave him It was extinguished, leaving only embarrassment and inexplicable panic.

It was also a very strange thing to say. Even though she had been hugged by such a kind princess before, she didn't feel anything wrong. She even felt like she was used to it. But now, just as Xia Ran took a step forward, put her hands on her shoulders, and looked into each other's eyes, she suddenly became panicked.

His cheeks couldn't help but blush, his brain was heating up rapidly, and he was completely at a loss.

She still stood upright, but she didn't know where to put her hands hanging by her side. She raised them a little and then put them down again. She did this several times, as if she wanted to push the person in front of her away, but in the end she made no move. , could only wring his fingers helplessly.

But there is nothing she can do!

Because this posture...yes, this is the posture!

I seem to have seen it on TV a lot before! According to the routine, the next thing...the next thing is...the hero and heroine do...do...

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! I can't think about it anymore!

What does the Master want to do to himself next? What does he want to say to himself?

Do you want to...promise to him?

The girl's body trembled slightly, which also made the magician who clearly felt the slight tremor because he put his hands on her shoulders feel a little strange... No, is he really that terrible?

But he didn't care much because he had just prepared his emotions and organized his words.

Xia Ran said softly: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I never noticed it... But I still hope you don't think too much, Artoria. In fact, I really don't want to hide anything from you. I don't trust you." You and the like..."

"me……"

The girl's hair reflected the pure light under the light of the big light ball. Now, there was a trace of embarrassment in her bright emerald eyes. She pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head. .

Not to mention the cheeks, even the ears, neck and other places became red.

"Don't always say you are my servant, my sword, etc. In fact, I have never thought so..." the magician continued, "It has been so many years, haven't you discovered Really? We have actually been a family for a long time..."

"I, I know..."

Artoria nodded repeatedly, but then she seemed to notice something and raised her head in surprise: "Eh, eh?! Family?!"

It seems like something is not right?

next moment--

"That's right, you can safely rely on me. In fact, I have always regarded you as my sister..." the magician said extremely seriously.

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the air was so silent that it could sting one's eardrums.

Arturia was stunned, and her body became obviously stiff. After a moment, she lowered her head, her shoulders shaking slightly.

"Artoria?"

The magician tilted his head in confusion, as if he heard some breaking sound.

"Oath──"

The next moment, he saw the girl taking a step back to distance herself, holding up the golden light that would win with both hands, directly splitting the world in his eyes into two, completely dividing it. The fast torrent of light was accompanied by the spirit of words. Completely liberated in an instant!

"──Sword of Victory!!"
