I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

Because it is completely built on the soft seabed, the foundation of Venice is extremely strong even though it is based on oak, and even such damage cannot completely collapse it.

However, if a huge guardian is added after the ground has been destroyed, then the situation is different.

Almost without such a heavy load, the wooden piles on the seabed will collapse one after another, and the huge guardian is just the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"—!"

The sturdy stone giant suddenly sank into the soft seabed. He wanted to struggle to break free from the combined effect of the suction and gravity under his feet, but the seabed with silt accumulation was like quicksand in the shallow sea. As far as the huge existence is concerned, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking free.

In the end, the guardian, a giant of stone statues who were huge but could rival the strength of the Servants, sank deep into the thick seabed below the city of Venice.

"This……"

Li Xiang watched everything happening in front of her at a speed so fast that it was almost impossible to react, and she was almost completely stunned.

This kind of sudden change makes people unable to react at all.

"What is this..."

The sudden appearance of the enemy, followed by the unexpected disappearance of the unexpected, this kind of reversal after reversal of the situation will only be realized after personal experience, which is not too beautiful.

"Ah—it seems to be a success."

As the smoke and dust around here slowly dissipated, but the visibility was still limited in the dense fog, all he could hear was an old voice.

Hearing the voice, Li Xiang looked behind him subconsciously. A figure was walking towards him. It seemed that the thick fog around him was becoming more and more blinding. Li Xiang couldn't help raising his hand and using rune The surrounding dense fog was fanned away, and the surrounding alleys were immediately emptied.

Later, he also saw the figure that appeared in the thick fog, it was a white bearded, white-haired old man in his 50s, wearing an elegant dress, holding an exquisite cane, and the side of the coat draped over his body There are beautiful patterns like blue butterfly wings on the shoulders, which are very eye-catching.

Therefore, the reason why he is called an "old man" and not just an "old man" is also because this old guy still stubbornly thinks that he is still very young, and he is a very attractive and handsome uncle, so that he has not given up on dressing up Own classic hipster image.

"Huh? (? ⊙ω⊙?)"

Gradually seeing the old man walking slowly, Li Xiang couldn't help stretching his head and narrowing his eyes, as if he felt a little unbelievable at the appearance of the man in front of him.

"Huh~ It seems that I came at the right time~"

The well-dressed and gorgeous old man appeared a few meters away, and greeted Lixiang.

Perhaps it would seem strange to say hello at such a distance that is neither far nor close, but this is also a time when people are helpless, or he really wants to get closer to within three meters, but it is a pity that if he rushes forward rashly now If it is within three meters of Tachika, the assassin next to him will definitely spare no effort.

"........."

This time Lixiang didn't speak, but directly turned his questioning gaze to Assassin beside him.

"That, I said..."

Chapter 5: The Suspicious Stylish Old Gentleman

"This is a very dangerous guy, please be careful, Your Excellency the Magician."

Hassan the Cursed Wrist narrowed his eyes, and under the cover of his shawl and cloak that was similar in color to his skin, the dagger that gleamed coldly had already fallen into his hand.

He was ready to fight this suspicious guy in front of him at any time.

"...Hey, am I that unpopular?! I'm here to help you!"

The half-hundred-year-old man, who was already full of white hair, heard Hassan's "sarcasm" that he barely concealed, and he couldn't help shouting angrily, blowing his beard and staring.

"........."

When he shouted, his blue eyes faced Lixiang, but unfortunately, Lixiang chose the most direct silence.

The fashionable gentleman with white hair couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Is he just so unpopular? !

'Actually...that's not the case. '

Quietly staring at the old gentleman in front of him, Li Xiang said silently in his heart: "It's just that you guy has caused countless troubles." '

"You have to trust me! Young lad!"

It was as if one could tell what was going on in his mind with just one glance, the fashionable old gentleman shouted: "I am a very ordinary fashionable old professor! Of course, of course... just a little bit, It’s really just a little bit bad!”

'I believe you are a ghost. '

Although he complained so much in his heart, Li Xiang still coughed lightly, and then looked seriously at the fashionable gentleman in front of him, or rather a coquettish old man, and said, "You are a Servant, right? Since you said you are here If you want to help us, then if you are the same person who supports each other, you can tell us your [real name] directly, shouldn't it matter?"

Although the tone of the speech seemed a little casual, there is no doubt that Li Xiang's question is the best way to test him given the current understanding.

Just like Lixiang said, if you want to test whether the strange Servant in front of you should be classified as a "partner" in the most intuitive way, then reporting your [real name] is undoubtedly the most intuitive way.

If he directly obtained the [real name] of the Servant in front of him, no matter whether he was an enemy or a friend, Li Xiang would have a slight advantage when facing him.

However, this method was not used by Li Xiang to try to know the [real name] of the Servant in front of him, but just for a simple test, whether the old gentleman in front of him is trustworthy...or whether it is still trustworthy at present.

In the words, Lixiang quietly opened his [Demonic Eye of Rune], every nine tiny runes revolved around the gorgeous pupil of the star sea, this is his method of controlling his own runes Another improvement made Lixiang have the ability to see clearly the state and strength of the Servant's spirit base.

But in the current state, the response of the spirit foundation that appeared in Lixiang's eyes was not strong, it could even be said to be a little weak, the magic power reaction was not strong, and Lixiang didn't feel any dangerous breath.

'The strength of this kind of spirit foundation is not like a powerful servant of the top three cavalry, but more like a [Magician (Caster)] who is not good at frontal combat. '

Lixiang couldn't help feeling a little doubt in his heart.

"Ugh... that's fine."

Behavior is just like that of an old gentleman in the [-]th century, the strange servant whose spirit base has only reached the basic strength of a four-rider Servant looked at Tatsuka who spoke, and couldn't help showing a little embarrassment on his old face. .

No matter what, he also knows that if he doesn't make things clear now, things will become more troublesome... Although he may be troublesome after reporting his [real name].

"My job agency is [Magician (Caster)]. My real name is James Moriarty. Yes, that's the Moriarty you've heard of before."

The fashionable old gentleman coughed solemnly, and then gave his real name.

Although he was "slightly hesitant" just now, when he actually gave his real name, he seemed calm again, as if he had no intention of pursuing the status quo in front of him.

"……Um."

When the strange servant in front of him reported his real name, Lixiang subconsciously nodded slightly.

But this small gesture still fell into the gentleman's eyes.

'He already knew my real name? '

The self-proclaimed "James Moriarty" suddenly had this idea in his mind. For him, it was too simple to observe and judge a person based on their behavior.

Especially such children who have not been exposed to intrigue.

Li Xiang didn't notice that Moriarty had already discovered that he had known himself for a long time, although what he had obtained from him was indeed his [real name], but this did not mean that Li Xiang could trust him like this up.

On the contrary, just letting this old and cunning guy reveal his [real name] so easily, Lixiang felt that something was wrong.

"Hmm... If you don't say your [real name], you will be questioned for granted, but if you say your [real name] frankly, it will be regarded as another purpose... The difficulty of the so-called villain is so sad... ..."

Of course Moriarty knew what Lixiang was thinking now, or it could be seen from the fact that the young man in front of him knew something about him but still planned to inquire about him, he had great doubts about himself .

Therefore, he simply gave up playing tricks, and at least be honest with him now, and maybe he can get back a little bit of trust.

The evil math professor thinks this way, but he doesn't think so every time. After all, people are different. Some people have a hard time trusting others, while others are suspicious of everything.

However, through his observation, perhaps it should be said that it was based on "evil" intuition, Moriarty felt that Lixiang should not belong to any of the above two types of people.

"You don't need to say that as the 'Napoleon of crime,' Professor Moriarty."

Now that they already knew the other party's identity, Li Xiang, who was not good at beating around the bush, said directly.

To be honest, Li Xiang basically forgot about the old man in front of him who seemed to have no problems at all. After all, it has been so long, and he can only learn about him through a few other channels. figure.

"Therefore, if I meet him later, I actually plan to trust him."

———This is what Lixiang originally thought.

Until I saw the professor who was over fifty years old again.

The impressions he had once flooded into his head all of a sudden, making Lixiang feel a little dizzy, but his original impressions of this follower were probably left with the most basic bits.

——— Unless you have reached the point where you have nothing else to say, you must never trust him!

It's hard for Lixiang to believe it now, even his impression of him in the past has been so bad.

"Woo cough cough cough!"

The evil math professor coughed loudly as if he had been poked into a sore spot suddenly, and then he couldn't help saying with a little embarrassment: "Ah, maybe, but as a math professor and a single Servant, maybe it's still a good idea for me." It's better not to mention it."

"Are you a single [servant]?"

Li Xiang frowned slightly, for some reason, he subconsciously felt that what came out of his mouth might not be a good thing.

"Well! Of course!"

Professor Moriarty said solemnly: "As you can see, there are basically no ordinary people in the entire 'world' now, so how could I have crossed many restrictions and came here unreasonably? ?”

"After all, although I used to exist like a mastermind behind the scenes... But I am still a mortal after all, and I have nothing to do with the legendary gods."

"So as you can see, I'm really just a weak Servant who is alone, so... Maybe the Servant who needs more help and the Master who needs more security can report to the group for warmth together and do more things?"

While the professor lamented helplessly, he expressed his thoughts on the other side and extended an invitation to Tachika who is the Master.

"........."

"Please don't be fooled by him, Your Excellency the Magician!"

Suddenly, the curse-arm Hassan interrupted the conversation between the two. Facing the very suspicious professor in front of him, he clenched the short knife in his hand, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

"Although it sounds unreasonable, please trust Assassin's intuition, he is definitely not a trustworthy partner!"

Assassin narrowed his eyes, if Lixiang hadn't given the order now, he would definitely kill Moriarty immediately.

"Well, yes, that's true, maybe I am indeed the type that is not easy to win people's trust, but that was in the past, after all, now I am just a weak [Magician (Caster)]... …The magic power is so weak that even my own Noble Phantasm cannot be used normally.”

The seemingly harmless mathematics professor seems to be hinting at Lixiang.

"in addition……"

The professor's tone paused for a moment, as if he was sorting out his words, and then he said: "I think [Master] who wants to save the world should still be in a situation where there are not enough people and he is not familiar with the place..."

"Hmm~ Coincidentally, I happen to know a few companions who were summoned to this chaotic era like me but had to huddle together because of the predicament...so...do you need me to lead the way?"

Moriarty looked at the boy in front of him questioningly.

"Your Excellency the Magician!"

Assassin couldn't help shouting, wanting to remind Lixiang not to trust the sinister professor in front of him, and then he saw the professor in front of him speaking, and glanced at him vaguely.

It was almost unbearable anymore, although such a move undoubtedly represented disrespect to the [Master (Master)], but in order to protect Lixiang's safety and ensure that he would not be deceived by Moriarty, Hassan the Cursed Wrist The professor raised the dagger in his hand.

"and many more."

Seeing that Assassin was about to make a move immediately, Li Xiang immediately stopped him who was about to stab him with a knife.

"Your Excellency the Magician!?"

Although it was a pity, Hassan withdrew the dagger in his hand and hid it in the black cloak on his body in response to the Master's order.

Li Xiang looked at the professor who was about to be pierced on the spot but still showed no panic expression. Although this method made him feel a little uncomfortable, but based on what the professor said just now, Li Xiang still said.

"I said...Actually, you are not worried that Assassin will do something, right?"

"Ah, what are you?"

The professor glanced at Lixiang with a little blame and helplessness, and said, "I was almost stabbed just now!? This kind of stimulation is very serious for an elderly person over fifty years old!"

"No, I think your heart is better than your fragile old waist."

Lixiang spoke out the sore spots that the professor had been troubled for a long time.

"Young people should respect the elderly! What!? Don't all young people hate old men with handicapped legs?!"

"No, I personally think I'm quite polite, at least to other grandpas."

Li Xiang couldn't help but said as if he was paying back to his chattering elders.

"...Well, I know you, a heartless young man. Really, why do I always have such annoying guys around me?"

"A nasty guy?"

The professor's words caught Lixiang's attention.

"Oh! That's just an annoying guy who was summoned by this era like me, but because of his lack of strength, he had to choose to gather together to survive..."
