【Roman Guda】Meet by chance

?BGM→Epilogue[Ujico*Snail'shouse]/Wind Tour[Tone Color Garden]

Gudazi froze for a moment, and she didn't know whether to continue to check with the oil lamp or answer someone's question first.After a while, she still chose to slowly move her feet and straighten her waist.

"...Even if I left you and came in alone, judging from the current results, it doesn't seem to be different?" She turned her head and smiled, "After all, there is nothing that can hide from your eyes. Kings."

Even though he was in the dark, as long as there was a faint light, those bright golden pupils could show a radiant beauty.He didn't stay where he was, but walked towards her step by step.Different from the gentle demeanor she was familiar with at ordinary times, at this time Solomon exuded a biting killing intent.

Unable to determine whether this murderous intent was coming towards her, Gu Dazi subconsciously put on a fighting stance, while Matthew on the side had already secretly protected her in front of her with a shield.At this moment, Solomon, who had already walked in front of her, ignored Matthew's defense, and stretched out his hand to grab her arm. The action was so fierce that she staggered a step when she was unprepared.

"Back up."

He said solemnly.

The moment Gudazi had no time to react, something gushed out from the darkness and hit her head-on.At the same time, a golden light flashed past, and a magic barrier instantly opened, firmly blocking that thing.

The originally menacing black mud weakened instantly after hitting the barrier and fell to the ground.Gu Dazi poked his head out and saw that Solomon would not stop him this time, so he boldly stepped forward.She approached cautiously, and found that this thing was likely to be trampled under her feet before—it was no different from what she found at the bottom of the pool, it was black mud that had lost its effectiveness.

It's really strange, why do I always feel that the vitality of the black mud I encountered this time can only burst out in an instant, and the duration is very short?If it is said that in the main hall that day, the magical beasts used by Solomon were polluted by black mud, and the woman in black could not escape the culpability...then the black mud will quickly expire, which means that they do not have a stable source .In this way, it is impossible for the woman in black to be a powerful beast such as the god Tiamat.

If her guess is correct, this can probably be regarded as good news...?

Gudazi, who was immersed in thinking, didn't notice the faint footsteps and deliberately suppressed panting from the underground palace. She didn't rush to follow until Solomon and Matthew followed the sound.After chasing for about ten minutes, he finally caught a glimpse of a black figure flashing past the corner. Gudazi was overjoyed and couldn't help blurting out: "Quick..."

Then Solomon covered his mouth.

He shook his head slightly at her, signaling not to startle the snake.Gu Dazi nodded, pushed his hand away a little, and asked softly, "Where does this road lead to?"

When they were in the underground palace before, she and Matthew just fled in a panic following the map given by the doctor, without exploring it carefully at all.Although she knew the place was terrifyingly large, it hadn't occurred to her that there was more than one exit hidden in it.At this time, the Rubean lamp flickered slightly, illuminating the empty darkness ahead.A dark and narrow tunnel unfolded in front of them. If they read correctly, the woman in black who finally showed her feet just now escaped through this tunnel.

I didn't expect that for so many days...has she been hiding in the underground palace?How many detours would it have taken her to find out if it hadn't been for an accident by the pond?

Gu Dazi had to sigh, such a thing as luck is really born.

But... what is her purpose of hiding here?

"This tunnel leads to the outskirts. It was originally used for emergency evacuation," Solomon pondered. "The other party seems to be very familiar with this place..."

He glanced at Gu Dazi vaguely, as if to say, "As a princess, you don't seem to have this level of familiarity."

Gu Dazi obviously received the hint in his eyes, scratched his head and laughed a few times: "Then why are you hesitating, let's catch up quickly?"

Just after Gudazi took a few steps, the sudden communication made her take back her steps abruptly.

"Eh? Doctor?" She opened the communication and saw the anxious face of Roman on the opposite side, she hesitated a little, "Is there anything urgent for the doctor? Our side is quite urgent now..."

"Lixiang, it's like this, the black mud sample you sent back was analyzed," Roman seemed to be trying to keep calm, but his slightly trembling voice still betrayed his panic, "This black mud sample... The tide of chaos, the power of God Amat, came from almost the same age."

"Eh?!"

Gudazi's eyes widened in disbelief.

no? !She analyzed just now that it might not be the beast... slapped in the face so soon?But... something to do with the god Tiamat?No matter how I think about it...it's impossible!

"Could the doctor have made a mistake?"

Matthew on the side had just recovered from the shock.

"It's not wrong, it is indeed the case," Roman sighed, "We were also very surprised when we got this result, and verified it four or five times. After all, on the other hand, although this is the Age of Gods, but I can't feel any fluctuations similar to Uruk... This does not mean safety, Lixiang, Mash, you should be more careful."

Roman was rarely serious, and his complicated eyes finally fell on Solomon who had been standing silently by the side since just now.The feeling of talking to myself through time and space is really incomparably subtle... But there are some things that cannot be said.

"Please protect them," the sparkling green pupils collided with the bright golden pupils, and they saw themselves in each other's eyes, Roman first said, "Whether it's for me personally or for Chaldea... …They are all very important beings.”

Solomon nodded: "I understand."

At that moment, Roman was suddenly blessed, and he was sensitive to the fact that the true meaning hidden in that short reply was very likely—their importance was the same to him.

Of course, they tacitly agreed and neither of them said anything.

"Then, this may be the final battle. Matthew, Lixiang, please do your best," Roman rolled his eyes, "I will prepare strawberry cake in Chaldea, and wait for the good news with Da Vinci .”

"Bastard—the cake you promised to buy me more than a year ago has not been fulfilled yet?" Gu Dazi became angry when he heard this, "You will get double compensation this time." !"

"Very happy."

The young man replied with a gentle smile, and turned off the communication with a snap.

Throwing herself into the darkness, the girl began to run.

After running for an unknown amount of time in the dark tunnel, a glimmer of light finally appeared in front of Gudazi's eyes.She kept running towards the direction of the light, and found that the exit of the tunnel was cleverly arranged in a hidden cave.When Gudazi walked out of the cave, even though she had experienced a lot, she was slightly shocked.

It turned out to be... the sea.

Eyes that have been exposed to darkness for a long time cannot bear the sunlight for a moment, and after a few seconds of adaptation, they open them again, and the scenery that spreads out in front of them is a vast green grassland and a calm sea in the distance. .

The blue sea and the cloudless clear sky form a line, winding to an invisible distance.Occasionally, there are three or five seabirds flying low and circling, and the sun caresses the sea surface lovingly, reflecting the sparkling waves that are as fine as stars.

It's just... such an open terrain, where did the woman in black hide?

Gudazi cautiously searched around, and Matthew and Solomon, who followed her closely, also started a careful search.If it wasn't for the sake of avoiding a lot of fanfare... She would have sent a message to ask the doctor to help her find it.

Wait, let the doctor help?

It seems that the doctor has been saying from the beginning to the end... There is no obvious fluctuation?

This is really strange, what is the background of that woman that can even hide Chaldea's detection?So is it really not related to beast as she guessed?After all, when the god Tiamat appeared back then, there was a lot of movement in Chaldea...

However, the analysis report also showed that the black mud brought by the woman came from almost the same age as the tide of chaos of the god Tiamat, which really made Gu Dazi scratch his head and couldn't understand.She scratched her hair a few times in annoyance, and sat down on the grass.

"Senior... Are you tired? Do you want some food?"

Matthew came over.

I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that all the time was spent on finding the way and finding people.The woman seemed to be deliberately avoiding them and not confronting them head-on, but once there was a danger of being discovered, she would use various means to cover herself, which was really amazing.

Gu Dazi nodded, and just as he was about to answer, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from a distance from the corner of his eye.

Is it... the woman in black? !

No, the important thing is that she is still following far behind... Solomon? !

No, which one is this acting in?

Gu Dazi was dumbfounded, and after exchanging glances with Matthew, he tiptoedly followed.

"So... you want to deal with her alone?"

Gu Dazi, who found out that Solomon had not betrayed his allies after the rendezvous, was a little relieved, but because of the bad character of this person who always likes to bear everything alone, Gu Dazi, who has suffered several losses in this regard, still dare not be careless.He will probably never understand—those who choose to leave can pat their butts away easily, while those left behind, whether they want to or not, will always have painful memories for the rest of their lives.

"After all, I promised to protect you."

...It's not this protection law, okay!

Gu Dazi complained secretly. At this time, the group of them was hiding outside the cave where they came, and they had not been discovered by the woman.The other party seemed to have reached the limit. She supported her knees with both hands and couldn't stop panting. The black mud flowing continuously under her feet seemed to be very sluggish, and the amount was not much.Just when Gu Dazi was thinking about whether she should rush in and take it when she was not paying attention, the woman suddenly turned around and spoke to the outside of the cave.

"……Come out."

Eh? !

Already discovered? !

Gu Dazi was secretly startled, but did not act rashly.

"I... will soon be unable to hold on."

There seemed to be a slight hint of laughter in her voice.

"It's nice to be able to come back here... Cough cough cough cough..."

Gudazi finally poked his head out cautiously.

She is ready to go to war.

However, the opponent seemed to have no intention of fighting.

The woman in black in front of her took off her cloak, revealing her beautiful silver hair, her eyes as bright as jewels and her face as white as bloodless, making her look lifeless like a puppet.

"I...was born from someone's trivial wish."

She didn't seem to see Gu Dazi, but she just said this mechanically, looking at the air with slack eyes.

Just when Gudazi was in doubt, he suddenly received a communication reminder from Dr. Roman.

"Although it was sudden, Tachika, Chaldea detected the reaction of the Holy Grail, Tatsuka, you must... Huh?"

Roman's rapid-fire words were interrupted by the woman's quiet smile.

"Could it be that you... are the Holy Grail?"

Gu Dazi's voice trembled uncontrollably.
