Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

63. Senior brother, it would be great if you were a girl.

Subtitle: It would be much easier for me to write that way

☆Heroes sailing towards the sea of ​​stars

"—Simply speaking, Lord Jason."

At the port of Athens, as many admiring sailors boarded the ships of the Golden Fleece Adventure Group and left the port, Medea, as the think tank and deputy leader of the adventure group, recounted the secrets of the goddess.

"What the teacher needs are [prepared people], [strength people], and [lucky people]. After these three types of people embark on adventures in search of opportunities, no matter whether they know the secret behind it or not. As long as they Seeking opportunities, as long as the teacher hides in the 'opportunities on the journey', he will gain strength."

"In other words, the teacher's magical properties allow her to display her talents only in this environment."

Speaking of Medea, most people may first think of the notorious betrayal witch. She betrayed everything, betrayed her brother, parents, husband, and even her own flesh and blood.

The crime Medea committed was so serious that it is difficult to justify it by saying "it was all a conspiracy of the gods".

It can only be said that Medea is extremely emotionally unstable and extreme at heart. The gods pushed her to Jason behind her back, which only completely released the moral constraints of this madness and ultimately harmed Jason. Asong and Medea.

After all, in order to get revenge on your husband, you don't kill your husband, but torture and kill your own flesh and blood children. Normal logic cannot explain it.

But the Medea in front of her was different from Jason.

The heroic spirit Jason is Jason who regained the body of his youth after facing a strange road in his life.

The heroic spirit Medea is not the Medea that Jason knew, but the girl who was not bound by family and gods before Jason met Medea, and who studied mysteries under the goddess of magic.

This is the so-called ‘Medea Lily’.

When they first met, Jason was almost scared out of his mind.

Despite this posture, no matter what the heroic spirit's mental state is at any time, the knowledge of a lifetime is complete.

But Medea Lily said that she had no memory of the future in her mind.

According to Medea Lily, she is just a magic apprentice now. In order to meet the teacher's exam, she tried to summon the heroic spirit.

——"Lord Jason is the future Saber heroic spirit. Are you a hero from the future who is related to me?"

Jason was shaking his head like crazy.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Jason always felt that the young Lily in front of him was more dangerous than the adult Medea.

Jason's judgment was actually correct. Under normal circumstances, Medea would be summoned in her adult form. At that stage, she was tired, unloved and regretful about killing her own child. Therefore, although she was a betrayal witch, But it's actually very easy to get along with as long as you don't do anything to harm young children.

Jason himself had more complicated feelings towards Medea. There was no love between them in the first place. To Jason, Medea was more like a time bomb forced into his hand by the gods, and this one The bomb did explode in the end.

Although if you only read the mythical stories, normal people will think that Jason is a tragic and unlucky guy in this process, but Jason himself still feels guilty about Medea, of course it is more of fear.

Although Jason wanted to run away, he couldn't, so he had to be caught by Medea Lily to work.

Medea Lily said she didn't know what would happen in the future.

What could Jason do? He could only pretend that he believed her lies.

——Then Jason heard about the ‘Holy Grail’

Jason, who was originally in a state of despair, regained his fighting spirit.

The Holy Grail that contains miraculous power, if you can get it.

Just like that, Jason's Golden Fleece adventure group is about to set off for the underworld.

"Ex-wife, analyze the situation."

"Lord Jason, you know that even people who don't know the teacher's secret behind this will still encounter a steady stream of [opportunities] during the search process because of the task of [Searching for Athena] issued by the city of Athens. Empowering teachers.”

"However, people who have the right goals, that is, people who are [more prepared] have a greater chance of meeting a teacher."

"Teacher is a three-phase god, and the three phases correspond to [sky], [earth], and [ocean]"

"The three attributes respectively correspond to the three paths to the underworld. In other words, if you want to find a teacher, targeting these three underworlds has the greatest chance of triggering."

"The path to the underworld with three attributes?" Jason blinked and crossed his hands in a thoughtful manner, "I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before."

"Actually, Sir Jason, in mysticism, there are many opinions about the location of the underworld. Where exactly is the underworld in the mythical age, or where is the intersection leading to the underworld? There are also different opinions. .”

"But it can generally be divided into two places."

"[The underworld in the sky] refers to the 'moon'. Since ancient times, there has been a legend that the moon spreads terror and that the soul of a person will go to the moon after death. This is because the sun is regarded as a symbol of life, so the moon is considered to be the other way around. A symbol of death, so the 'moon' is [the underworld of the sky]."

"[The Underworld of the Earth] is relatively more widespread and more common. Ancient rulers would bury their treasures underground after death. Because underground tombs are huge, they often form mazes. In addition to the treasures, there are also owners in the mazes to protect them. The underground labyrinth has become a synonym for "leading to wealth" and "leading to death".

On this basis, the underground underworld refers to the underworld that exists underground on a physical level. As long as you find the huge dungeon labyrinth, you can go to the [underworld of the earth] during the exploration process."

Jason nodded subconsciously. He was so entranced that he forgot about Medea's terror for a moment, but subconsciously asked: "What about the underworld on the sea?"

As a navigator, this is of course the most important point.

Medea's expression was a little subtle: "The teacher is a Titan. She once mentioned how if she came to create the world, she would turn the whole world into her own magic workshop, but there are some problems with this [ocean underworld]. Ia Lord Song, even you should know about the Sea of ​​Oceanus, right?"

Jason was stunned: "Did I get scolded silently?"

Medea nodded: "Yes, you got it right. In short, the Sea of ​​Oceanus is also called the Sea of ​​End. It is an ocean current that connects everything, which naturally includes the River Styx in the underworld. The sea of ​​the underworld, that is to say, theoretically, even if you are not specifically looking for anything, you may accidentally enter the underworld if you are just sailing aimlessly on the sea. This is the way to the [underworld of the ocean]."

"Because the randomness is too great, in fact, [the underworld of the ocean] also has the highest probability of encountering a teacher. After all, there is such a thing as probability. Therefore, if you want to take the ocean route, it is best to find a navigator who has been to the underworld. , such as Odysseus, a being who was clearly recorded as having visited the underworld.”

"So, Lord Jason, have you decided which path to take?"

This question is actually not a question at all.

Jason looked at his ship.

——Argonaut

This is no ordinary ship.

As the most famous adventure team in the history of Greek mythology, even the Argo, which originally carried the glory of Queen Hera, was eventually upgraded to a heroic spirit.

"Setting out towards the sea of ​​stars, and in the process of searching for [the underworld in the sky], it is natural that you will experience adventures related to the stars, right?"

"Yes, Lord Jason, the more dangerous it is, the more opportunities it contains. With the character of the teacher, he will definitely prepare for the trial on the [Constellation], but if you think about it carefully, in this game, maybe only We are the only ones with the ability to freely navigate the universe."

After all, the Argonaut itself is the largest constellation in the entire sky - [Argo Navis]

certainly.

the most important is--

"Speaking of constellations, it is indeed the twelve stars of the zodiac, so let's go to Hercules first! After joining Hercules, Leo and Cancer are a one-punch and two-cake thing in front of Hercules! Let's take Chiron in Sagittarius Even though he is my teacher, he should not make things difficult for us. There is that stinky cat Atalanta over there at Big Bear, and Gemini Pollux and Castor are my captain’s subordinates!”

"Huhuhu, if you think about it this way, almost all the star gods in the sky are acquaintances with us, and the most important one is Hercules. As long as we have Hercules, we will be invincible!"

Naturally, I chose the route to [Sky].

Medea had no choice but to respond to Jason's idea of ​​"not thinking about a head-on confrontation and thinking about how to exploit loopholes to escape the level".

Not to mention Hercules.

Atalanta never gave you a good look, right?

Gemini's sister Pollux is quite friendly to Jason, but that's because Pollux likes humans, and Jason is a rare being among the Argonauts who is not a demigod or a god.

But Castor, the Gemini brother, hates humans.

Not to mention Chiron.

However, the thing that really worries Medea Lily the most is

(Even we can think of this step. The teacher must have expected that we who have summoned Lord Jason will definitely choose to take the [Sky] path. What is waiting for us in the sky (universe)?)

☆Departure from Chaldea

". Above, in short, we must choose one of the three pathways: sky, ocean, and earth."

In the Chaldea Communication Channel meeting, Da Vinci concluded.

"We first eliminate the path to the sky. Although it is not impossible to carry out space navigation with Ehangulun, the price is that the number of people who cannot fight will increase too much. It is better to say that in this game, the only people who are capable of space navigation are Let the Argonauts who control the southern constellation go explore the map for us first.”

"In addition to the sky route, the options we can choose are the earth and the ocean. However, I think the earth option can also be ignored. If we take this route, the most likely way is to find it in the Minoan Labyrinth, but then It has no connection with our search for the captain.”

"Although the ocean route is the most difficult, fortunately, although we did not find a navigator like Odysseus who has been to the underworld, we did find Drake, who is closely related to the attributes of the [Lord of the Dead]."

Weber nodded: "In other words, in fact, we have no choice at all, or in other words, after finding Drake and confirming that Drake can use Drake's Heroic Spirit Card, the path to take has been determined. This is not a question to be discussed. The real question is that as long as we sail on the sea with Drake, there is a probability of going to the underworld, but specifically where are we sailing to?"

——The person who answered this question is Kenneth

If you think about it carefully, the source of all the chains may be that Lu Mingfei met Weber as soon as he went out, and then because of Weber, the chain summons except Kenneth, right?

Kenneth looked at her with proud eyes. Lu Mingfei, who was distracted beside him, followed Eriyo who was teasing Lilith and yelling, "Do you want me to call you Little Crocodile or Round Penguin?"

After all, it is a long-distance communication conversation across the world.

Kenneth himself even felt a little stupid. In the joking eyes of Caesar who happily said "Boss, give me three portions of all the desserts on the menu", Kenneth, who was a bit of a Bengbu resident, pretended to cough twice. He continued a little embarrassedly:

"We can choose the path of the ocean and the earth at the same time. Although there is no way in Greece, I have traveled to Egypt before, and I met the ancient Egyptian gods there. This can be regarded as proof in disguise that Egyptian mythology is as good as Roman mythology. A part of it remains.”

Weber was thoughtful at first, then patted his head and suddenly realized!

"The underworld of Egypt! It's also the River Styx! I remember that according to the description of ancient Egyptian mythology, the underworld of ancient Egypt was underground under the Nile River. If we go to the underworld of Egypt by taking the Nile River, we can face both the [earth] and the [ocean] at the same time. ! As expected of the Lord El-Melloi!"

"And I also have the god Seth in my hand." Seeing that Weber was so good at talking, Kenneth also raised his head happily, "In Egyptian mythology, the god Ra would travel from the Nile River to the underworld every day. During this process, the god Seth He is the guardian of the god Ra, so let’s take the Egyptian mythological path! From there to the underworld!”

☆Chu Zihang’s nightmare

On the sea journey to Egypt

Chu Zihang had a nightmare in Chaldea.

In the dream, on a stormy night, he and his father were sitting in the Maybach, driving on the viaduct of the highway.

Chu Zihang actually didn't know much about luxury cars, but he knew that this Maybach was "too expensive" because this was what that man, his father, kept saying to him as if to show off.

Outside the car was a storm, lightning and thunder, and inside the car was playing an inappropriate song about the love between a daughter and her father. Chu Zihang was in a daze, wondering whether this somewhat disconnected man was trying to hint at himself in this way, hinting at him. In fact, I want a daughter more than a son.

Chu Zihang's memory of what happened that day was so profound that when he closed his eyes, it seemed that the emotions at that time would emerge. He even clearly remembered that among his random thoughts at that time was "Should I have stopped Lu Ming just now?" I have to let him get into my car." "His small body won't be blown away like a kite with its string broken, not to mention being soaked in the rain."

Many people think Chu Zihang is cold.

But he just doesn't like to talk and likes to have off-line random thoughts.

This is a nightmare.

No matter how you describe it, it's a nightmare.

Whenever he misses the last days with that man (father).

The one-eyed god who rides an eight-legged horse and is covered in metal armor will wield the spear of destiny to tear apart all the good things.

——Chu Zihang was awakened again

This time, Romani Ajman, as an incompetent doctor, approached him:

"Lu Mingfei said that you always have nightmares, which seriously affects his sleep quality as the master. It seems to have been like this since meeting Drake, so..."

Roma brought out a bottle of wine and a German pork knuckle.

"Kadoc is not here, so I helped you prepare it. You all like this, right? So, are you going to tell me your story?"

Chu Zihang: "Actually, I'm not as enthusiastic about this thing as they are. I even think they don't really like it that much, but think it's a kind of meme for themselves, so they keep using it."

Although I know that I shouldn't say such words that ruin the atmosphere.

But Chu Zihang really couldn't hold back the urge to complain.

——to be continued!

If Chu Zihang was a girl, then this could be Lu Mingfei looking for Chu Zihang, and I could write more about the interaction between the male and female protagonists ()

It turns out that people who read online articles don’t really like to read descriptions of men other than male protagonists ()

By the way, the reason why I immediately decided to go to Egypt without making a decision was that I had already decided on it, and that was because of the great success I had when I met Weber.

What unfolds here is just the follow-up plot of that consecutive success.
