Tomorrow's Ark Full of Heroic Spirits

Wei Gong also made up his mind and wanted to try his luck again. Now he has hope in his hand again!

……

After a while, there was a town called Wollenmud in Letania, where two operators from Rhodes Island arrived in this town, looking quite dusty.

"It's finally here..." A woman with long hair and wearing a white dress with Rhodes Island on it said with a sigh of relief, "Worummud... Operator Anto's last signal was From here, a natural disaster occurred here a month ago..."

"Sister Yaye, do you think Sister Antuo will be fine?" Beside the woman code-named "Yaye", this girl will be much more conspicuous. She has nine tails, like nine chubby tails. Behind her like a carrot, the girl with cat-like and fox-like ears looks very cute. Even though she is full of dust due to the journey, she still can't hide her gentle and kind character.

"I don't know... Now I can only pray that she is okay..." Faced with the question from the Nine-Tailed Fox girl, Yaye had no choice but to prepare for the worst in her heart, and still gritted her teeth and said:

"Doctor Kelsey and the others helped with the kidnapping of the ghost shark, and Anto's matter. She originally wanted to ask the Heroic Spirit of Chaldea for help—but I declined."

"Oh? Why?" The nine-tailed fox girl was a little confused when she heard the words, and asked anxiously: "Obviously, if there is a heroic spirit to help us, we will definitely not be in danger..."

"—Lisa, no, I should call you operator 'Lily of the Valley' now."

Yaye also quickly adjusted her tone, and then said: "Linglan, although our relationship between Rhodes Island and Chaldea is here, even the doctor is the daughter of Mr. Wei Gong, the director of Chaldea. , and even a mother who is a goddess, but Rhodes Island is Rhodes Island, not the same institution as Chaldea."

"Chaldea maintains the balance and humanity of the entire Terra continent after the heroic spirits came into the world. They can't take care of many small disasters. Strictly speaking, the heroic spirits are not dispatched to save one person, or a dozen people. , what they want to save is more people.”

"And what we Rhodes Island do is to deal with these small disasters - small disasters for Chaldea and the heroic spirits, if anything requires the dispatch of Chaldea's heroic spirits, then our Rhodes Island What else are you doing? Just merge into Chaldea and contribute to the protection of humanity!"

"I, I understand." The little nine-tailed fox girl who was called "Lily of the Valley" by Yaye immediately smiled and said, "That is to say, we, like Chaldea, are guardians and protectors." Heal, but they protect the big part, we take care of the small part."

"Basically, it's great that you understand..." Yaye also heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but she said in a broken voice where Lily of the Valley couldn't hear: "The director of Chaldea has an old heart. It's dark... Many Rhode Island operators want to work in Chaldea, I heard that the salary is better there..."

"But we must never have anything to do with Chaldea again... Rhodes Island already has not enough people, if more people leave, it will be disbanded in place, bastard..."

Well, obviously Yaye still has some personal feelings for Chaldea. Who made her Kalshi's personal disciple?Her personal interests are now almost closely related to the entire Rhodes Island, so she is very dissatisfied with the status quo that many people in Rhodes Island yearn for Chaldea.

Moreover, Rhodes Island's recruitment operations have failed several times in a row, and most of the reason is that Emiya and his Chaldea are one step ahead of them!

But this time, Yaye is definitely going to solve the problem by himself. No one knows about Wollenmud, and there is no intelligence that there are heroic spirits haunting Wolunmud or Leitania. This time, Yaye To rely on their own strength to complete the task!

"Don't worry, Lily of the Valley, after the Western Alliance, the internal conflicts in Letania have been resolved a lot. Now that the Western Alliance is facing the threat of the Tsarist Russian Empire, the society in Letania has become a tight knot. Welfare is also unprecedentedly high, and the treatment of infected people has been better than before."

"An Tuo should be fine, let's go find her."

"..."

And not long after Lily of the Valley and Yaye left, at the other corner of Wollenmud, a red eye pupil flickered past, and slowly backed away in the silence, blending with the environment One...

"Roar……"

For some reason, there was a wolf-like whisper in the air, but Yaye and Lily of the Valley obviously didn't notice this, and they didn't know what was waiting for them in the transparent air...

Chapter 350: "Ghost Wolf" haunts

"Everyone from Rhodes Island, welcome to Warrenmurd. Doctor Anto once told us about you."

"Hello, we are here to find An Tuo, where is An Tuo now?"

After meeting Yaye and Lily of the Valley and the local Gendarmerie Captain Severin, a middle-aged man who was smoking and coughing as if he was about to die, in the guest house in Wollenmud, they began to look for Rhodes Island operator Ann. At the side of the gendarmerie captain, a local girl named Tatiana answered the second daughter's question.

"Oh? Don't you know? I thought Dr. An Tuo had already greeted you."

"Just a month ago, a natural disaster caused a huge change in our local terrain. On the day the Great Rift Valley appeared, the origin stone pierced the structural area from the ground, split the land, and blew up the farmland and supply facilities...An Dr. Tuo went to the hardest-hit area, rescued many survivors for us, and treated many people, and now he is still leading some people from our local gendarmerie to investigate the situation in the hardest-hit area."

"And after that, Warrenmurd lost the ability to be self-sufficient... Fortunately, the capital of Letania got feedback in time and gave us a lot of reinforcements, so our local area did not fall into riots."

"But the day after the Great Rift Valley... there were a lot of weird things after that—"

"Strange thing?" Yaye was slightly taken aback, and after hearing that An Tuo was fine, she was also relieved, and immediately asked with great interest: "What happened?"

"Yes... because the place where the Great Rift Valley appeared was an agricultural area, and a large area of ​​woods and no-man's land was destroyed along the way, so most of the casualties were concentrated on the edge." The girl Tatiana said the same:

"But since that day, many civilians living in the fringe areas of Wollenmud have responded that the ground often feels shaking. At first we didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was a small aftershock caused by a natural disaster..."

"But later, some people even reported that they heard howls similar to those of the Lupus in the area of ​​the Great Rift Valley—you know, there are very few Lupus in Letania, and we have never had any in Wollenmud. Registered Lupus outsider."

"We also sent people to the Great Rift Valley to investigate, but none of them came back. By the time we found them, their bodies had already been torn apart... the captain of the gendarmerie said that they seemed to be torn apart forcibly. It's open……"

"Woo...it sounds like a terrifying beast..." Ling Lan was also taken aback when she heard the words. She had just become an official operator not long ago, so she thought that although this mission was a little dangerous, it was still a little bit more dangerous. It's easy, but when I heard this, I realized that Wollenmud is so dangerous...

The roaring Luper, and the scattered corpses... Although Lily of the Valley knew a little bit of magic, she felt that her small body might not be enough for the beast to eat.

"Sister Yaye, what do you think is going to happen?" Linglan almost timidly asked Yaye who was lost in thought at the moment.

"Hmm... This kind of beast that appeared after the natural disaster may be because it was infected with ore disease after the natural disaster. Not only did it not die, but it miraculously produced antibodies and became a powerful Originium creature?" Yaye As expected of Kelsey's personal disciple, he has a lot of knowledge about origin stones, so he immediately thought of this possibility:

"I've heard about this kind of situation from Mr. Kelsey. Although it's rare, it's not impossible. But most of these origin stone creatures are extremely ferocious and have a strong desire to attack. According to today's information, they are very large. What is the probability of being infected Ruper...wait!"

However, at this moment, Yaye suddenly thought of something, suddenly raised her head to look at Tatiana, and asked subconsciously: "You just said that there are fierce beasts infested near the Great Rift Valley, and they killed them. Are there many people?"

"Yes……"

"—And in this case, that guy An Tuo is still going deep into the Great Rift Valley, none of you are stopping her?!"

In the last sentence, Yaye, who realized the seriousness of the matter, immediately broke his voice. The loud roar shocked Tatiana and Lily of the Valley, and Tatiana said tremblingly:

"I, I can't help it... Dr. An Tuo is determined to go... And she also said that she has someone to protect her, so don't worry..."

"How can we not worry about this! That idiot! I'm so tired of trampling an Originium worm to death! Isn't he going to die in the face of a ferocious beast?!"

Yaye also hopped her feet angrily, feeling extremely helpless for her careless colleague, and she couldn't help complaining about the current situation, so she grabbed Lily of the Valley by her side and said:

"Ling Lan, go to the gendarmerie captain of that old smoker and ask him to bring some people to go with us to find An Tuo. I hope this idiot hasn't been eaten..."

"Okay, okay!" Ling Lan nodded immediately, the current situation was already very bad for them.

However, they didn't realize at all that the "protectors" Tatiana spoke of were not just military police, but some people from Chaldea.

……

At the edge of Warren Mudd, around the Great Rift Valley, at this moment, Dr. Anto, a Rhode Island operative with several military policemen, is investigating the situation here, and beside her, there is a very tall woman……

"Well...the traces of the Great Rift Valley here are very deep. It's a pity that I didn't go to the place where the treasures of Napoleon and Ivan the Terrible split apart, otherwise I could see more intense tear marks. .”

"—Miss Tallulah? As an operator of Chaldea, have you ever been there? I've always wanted to see the rumored traces that almost split the continent!"

"...Doctor Anto, it is an extremely dangerous area now. According to Chaldea's intelligence, the split has had a great impact on the current Tsarist Russian Empire. Because of the inconvenience of transportation, the other side of the current Tsarist Russian Empire's split It's even making trouble. It's independent."

And beside Antuo, the woman holding a dark long sword and wearing a gothic costume is none other than Tallulah from Chaldea, and the reason why she came here is not because of Rhode Island. Ask for help——In fact, Dr. An Tuo never called Rhodes Island or Chaldea for any help.

Tallulah came here because of the disappearance of heroic spirits some time ago. Originally Emiya planned to send one or two heroic spirits there, but Tallulah insisted on coming here to investigate this matter in order to show her ability , but Emiya was still worried, so he specially ordered Tallulah to call for support immediately if there was any situation.

"Let's do it as soon as possible, Dr. Anto. After you find the data you need, we will retreat immediately—Faust."

As soon as Tallulah finished speaking, Faust, who had always been integrated with the surrounding environment, also fell from the towering trees. Holding a semi-automatic crossbow, he seemed to have grown up compared to when he came to Chaldea some time ago. a little.

This time, Tallulah brought Faust here because Faust's ability is very suitable for support and investigation. They are here to investigate the disappearance of the heroic spirit, so Faust's ability is very useful.

But it has been going on for a long time, and they still have nothing, but Tallulah is not discouraged, after all, according to the intelligence, the heroic spirit has not yet escaped from Wollenmud.

"Faust, check the surroundings, the Heroic Spirit should be very conspicuous..."

"Shhh."

But at this moment, before Tallulah's voice fell, a strange wind came. The next moment, almost all the military police immediately raised their vigilance and raised their weapons to stand ready.

Tallulah also immediately raised her long sword, and Faust once again blended with the environment and climbed up the tree, put the arrow on the crossbow, and aimed at the nothing environment.

Suddenly, a strange and dignified atmosphere spread, and in the air, a low roar from a distance was faintly heard:

"Roar……"

"It's that ghost wolf!" The gendarmes were all nervous when they heard the howling of wolves, so this existence has caused several casualties and disappeared without a trace. Call the creatures in the deep forest "ghost wolves".

"It's this guy again..." It's obviously not the first time that Tallulah has encountered each other, but she hasn't confronted each other a few times before. It's either because she arrived late or she only saw a ghost when she arrived. Shadow escaped into the darkness, and this time, Tallulah insisted on following the whole process in order to face this terrifying existence directly.

This is not the heroic spirit she was looking for, but she felt that there must be some connection between the heroic spirit who disappeared suddenly and the "ghost wolf" who appeared strangely now...

"Roar--!!"

And at this moment, the wolf howled suddenly, and before the group could react, they felt a gust of wind blowing against their faces—only with the help of the moonlight, they could vaguely see a strange silhouette.

That body is so huge that people feel frightened, and on top of that wolf body, there is a figure, strangling with two knives in hand!

"puff!"

In just a split second, that gendarme was beheaded without even struggling, and when his head fell down with the same horrified expression, everyone realized what kind of situation they were facing. terrifying opponent...

"Don't mess up!" Tallulah also immediately seized the opportunity, but she didn't know where the "ghost wolf" was, so she raised her palm high and shouted: "Fire ring!"

The next moment, Tallulah's origin stone skills were running at high speed, and a circle of flames burst out from her body, and spread around, burning a piece of trees and creatures...

"Wow?"

But not far away at this moment, a man wearing a hood and armor holding a sword surrounded by a wind field seems to have noticed it. After a little hesitation, he finally walked quickly. running in that direction...

Chapter 351: The Second King Arthur?

"Huh...huh..."

"Are you forced to retreat? Are you all right?"

On the other side, Dr. An Tuo and several gendarmes also stood up from the ground, only to realize that a large area around them had already been completely burned by Tallulah's Originium skills, and all the weeds and bushes were gone. It was burned to black, and even the trees were directly turned into dead wood, and the bark was burned to black.

It was as if the forest fire jumped from the moment it erupted to the end. Facing the scorched earth around it, Dr. An Tuo and the gendarmes also had a clear understanding of Tallulah's strength...

No wonder Miss Tallulah dared to come here to deal with the Heroic Spirit's incident without a Heroic Spirit by her side... This strength, even if it's not as powerful as some very powerful Heroic Spirits, shouldn't be much worse, right?

Chaldea...it's really unfathomable... Sure enough, it was a wise move for Dr. Kelsey and Doctor to make friends with Chaldea in the first place...

"Wait, it's not over yet." Tallulah was still frowning tightly. As the only being present who was as strong as a heroic spirit, Tallulah's intuition told her that the crisis had not yet been resolved.

"Faust, have you seen the ghost wolf?"

"...It's difficult, but I have a way to trace it. Its origin stone skills are very close to mine, and it is a kind of 'transparency' that integrates my body and the environment." From the trees, Faust's voice came faintly:

"I can hear its footsteps... When the time comes, leader, you just need to follow me."

After Faust finished speaking, he began to concentrate on listening to the sounds in the air. As a sniper, Faust could feel very subtle changes in the air and the ground, not to mention that the opponent seemed to be not small in size. The vibration must have been noticeable.

And Tallulah also held her breath, and everyone present did not dare to utter a word, paying close attention to all the movements...

I don't know how long this eerie silence lasted. Everyone could only feel the sound and smell of scorched earth cracking around them, but Faust quickly and keenly sensed a footstep resounding together with the scorched earth cracking.

"--it's here!"

Faust immediately adjusted his direction, and shot out an arrow, but before it could penetrate the enemy's body, it was interrupted by a violent claw strike.

"Roar!!!"

"Be careful!" Faust was also slightly startled, feeling that the IQ and reaction speed of this beast were exceptionally high, and he actually knew how to block instead of dodge.

But now is not the time to pay attention to these things, Faust felt that the beast was killing towards Tallulah, and even rushed towards it!

At this time, Tallulah also felt the undisguised footsteps coming from a distance, which were becoming clear at an astonishing speed. In desperation, Tallulah raised her long sword, intending to rely on her own Drake. The strong body also blocked this blow.

"Huh!" Under the sound of an explosion, Tallulah heard the whistling sound coming from her ear—it was the sound of brandishing a weapon!

"clang!"

"Huh?!" After a round of staggering, Tallulah felt her arms go numb, and felt the giant wolf whizzing past her.

But the next moment, behind Tallulah's unsuspecting back, the giant wolf suddenly turned around, left a few claw marks on the ground, and then attacked Tallulah's back again!

"! Leader! Watch your back!"

Faust reacted immediately, and quickly shot an arrow to try to stop it, but the arrow couldn't stop the giant wolf's footsteps at all. Under the sound of the weapon waving, the arrow was directly split into two, He fell powerlessly to the ground.

But at this moment, Tallulah just turned around, and in the air where no one could see, under the moonlight, Tallulah finally saw the opponent's figure clearly from the corner of her eyes.

It was a giant wolf that was bigger than the three of them, and the human figure riding on the wolf's back was wielding two long sharp blades, but it had no head at all!

This is a headless horseman riding a giant wolf!

"Swipe!" And just as Tallulah was in a trance, the headless horseman attacked again!But this time, he killed both swords towards Tallulah!

Facing the roaring sword blade, Tallulah couldn't handle it right now. In desperation, she wanted to use her Originium skills to force the opponent back...

"—[Wind King Hammer] (StrikeAir)!"

But at this moment, a sharp male voice suddenly came from the side. Before the people around could react, I felt a strong wind roaring from the side!A direct blow hit the body of the giant wolf in front of Tallulah!

"Ahhhhh!!!"
