Chapter 440:
Magicians are more willing to look at everything with rational eyes. Except for blood relatives and disciples who have inherited the inheritance, they can treat anyone with indifference. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are no different from a group of cold-blooded animals.
I really don't know when the magician group went wrong.
"I understand what you're thinking, Lixiang."
Roman is not angry with Rikka's wayward thoughts. There are many reasons for this, for example: he doesn't lose his temper with his daughter, he knows Rikka is not an orthodox magician, and he feels that Rikka is not a cold-blooded magician Happy.
But that doesn't mean he will give up persuading Lixiang.
"Artoria's departure may be a big blow to you, but I think Artoria has also found something more important, something more important than killing and protecting you. It is possible to make a person who abides by the knight's creed. The king of knights gave up her responsibility, that must be something to do anyway. At this time you should not be gloomy because she left, but you should be happy that she can find and do what she wants to do, a dead What people have to do must be regrets that could not be done before death. Of course, if you are really unhappy, you should find a way to find her, then ask her why she left, and express your heart to her. Tell her you're willing to help her instead of sneaking away alone."
"Dad, what do you mean, can we see Arturia again?"
PS: As the title of the chapter suggests, I have to summon a person to take the place of Artoria, but the candidate has not yet been determined. If you have a role that you hope to appear, please let me know.
The object is of course the one that Rika has been in contact with. Of course, there is no need for everyone to answer me immediately. You can even wait until the fifth singularity is over before summoning, because the American singularity is relatively special, and there are fewer plots on Rika (probably). ), there are many heroic characters that appear in the fifth singularity.
If there is no better suggestion, Artoria will probably be brought back directly in the sixth chapter.
Chapter 696 Chapter 221 David's Daily Operations
Li Xiang jumped up from the bed.
It's true that Arturia's departure was a big blow to her, but it's another matter if she can be brought back. The reason why she was listless was because she thought she would never see Arturia again, and now that she was told that she could see her again, Lika washed the sullen look on her face.
"Probably, maybe..."
Roman just said that, how could he know this kind of thing? Maybe Artoria has created another world line, so there is a high possibility that they will never meet again. But things like magic are never absolute, and the smallest possibility is possible.
"Really!? That's great, yes, maybe we can find her in Chaldeas, and we must bring her back. Arturia is also true, and there are problems. You should tell us, will we still stop her if you get it? After all, she is also a partner who works hard together, and leaving without a word like this is really disrespectful to me. "
Lixiang was as excited as she could not hear Roman's tone, and her whole person was also in high spirits.
"No, I'm going to call the director quickly. If I continue to sleep in, maybe Arturia will hide."
After speaking, Tachika seemed to plan to rush out and pull up Olga Marie, who was still sleeping.
"Stop for me." Roman grabbed Lixiang's hand, and was about to pull Lixiang back, but was almost thrown away by Lixiang's Juli, "Where are you going? The director is still in a coma. , how can you wake up immediately? And you at least calm me down. Is it the way you should go out now? Hurry up and change your pajamas for me. "
That's right, Rika hasn't left the bed since she woke up in the morning, and she was naturally wearing pajamas. Although she said that even if she ran out in her pajamas, no one would say anything, but Roman felt that Rika's image problem couldn't continue to deteriorate like this.
"Dad, you are becoming more and more like an old man."
Lixiang walked back to the bed in dissatisfaction, but she just lay back and had no idea of washing up at all.
"What are you still doing here?"
"Isn't the director still awake? It's time to rest anyway, why do you have to go out?" Speaking of which, Lixiang yawned, "Let's talk about other things when the director wakes up. Dad, I Going to bed now, remember to lock the door for me."
"..." Did this child misunderstand what a rest period is?
But forget it, Lixiang looked very sleepy, and it seemed that she didn't get a good rest last night. It was probably that Arturia had been bothering her since she left, and now that the problem was resolved, she was relieved and planned to take a deep sleep.
In that case, don't disturb her.
"Then take a good rest, and then summon a new Servant to adjust your magic circuit and magic power."
"I know, I know, Dad, you are really long-winded, and if you go on like this, you will become a grandfather who talks all day long like David."
"..." How do I look like that old bastard?
Roman shook his head, then left Lixiang's dormitory, locking her door by the way. Except for her, no one can go in to disturb her rest, unless the director suddenly wakes up and takes out the access card.
It was noon, it was already lunch time, Roman was about to walk in the direction of the restaurant, but soon stopped. Because he suddenly thought that Joan of Arc was also in the restaurant at this time, and when he went to the restaurant at this time, he had a feeling of throwing himself in the net.
What should I do, run away? Think about it, what else is there to do now, it's best to postpone it until 1:00 noon (the last time the cafeteria is open).
Because he is always not doing his job properly, Chaldea's work inspection has not been carried out for a while, but this time is lunch time again, which is not a suitable time for inspection. After thinking for a while, Roman finally walked to the director's room, and he decided to see Olga Marie's situation.
Apart from Olga Marie, the door of the director's room is theoretically the only other remaining manager, Roman, who can open it. The access card was handed over to El-Melloi II when it was transferred to the singularity, and El-Melloi II returned it to him after returning to Chaldea.
If Olga Marie knew that he gave someone else the key to the door of the room, she would probably be furious.
After opening the door and entering the bedroom, he saw Olga Marie still lying on the bed. Her complexion was much better than two days ago. At that time, the paleness of losing her blood was really terrifying, and now it was her recovery period.
It’s not that Roman didn’t think about using Merlin’s magic power to heal her, but Olga Marie was not injured, and she and the Holy Maiden of Winter could only rely on her and the Winter Maiden for the loss and repair of her soul. At this point, it was only the healing magic power. doesn't work.
Everything is going in a good direction.
Without any inspection equipment, with these eyes, Roman can see the places that ordinary people can't see. He can clearly see Olga Marie's soul merged with Lizleich, about half a month. fully recovered.
"In this case, I can only lead the singularity search for the time being." Roman shook his head. After Olga Marie was in a coma, the work that originally belonged to her naturally fell to the second-ranked manager, that is Roman's hands. The singularity behind was hidden even more secretly by Getiah. It is not that simple to find out. Right now, there are people working in the control room 24 hours a day, but this endless operation has not yielded any results. People have headaches.
After leaving the director's room, Roman headed towards the control room, and of course he saw two researchers observing Chaldeas.
From the London Singularity onwards, the location of the singularity has become very secret, not as obvious as it used to be. Especially this time, Chaldeas could hardly observe obvious abnormal fluctuations. He could only lock people in the wrong interval of history, and then check this time period every moment.
"No, it will take at least three months to check all this time."
One of the researchers showed deep fatigue. This kind of boring work can easily drain people's spirits. If not for the well-trained staff in Chaldea, plus the time spent in human management, they have been carrying out high-intensity work. It is simply impossible for them to stay in the control room for 12 hours in a row.
That's right, working 12 hours in a row, this inhumane work system was formulated by Olga Marie herself. She is bent on repairing human nature and is squeezing everyone's potential, as if to treat them as inhumane machines Treat it the same. To Roman's surprise, everyone didn't have any complaints about the oppression of Olga Marie. Instead, they thought it was a matter of course. They believed that there should be a special attitude in extraordinary times. The system of shifts is regarded as "a loose work system like Roman's".
I am here to take care of your physical and mental health. Also, what does "a lax work system like Roman's" mean? Is overtime sudden death funny?
All in all, since everyone likes to work overtime so much, Roman has no need to stop them.
"Take it easy, maybe it's not that troublesome, maybe you can find the singularity when you detect half of it?"
The singularity will only exist at a certain point in time. If you are lucky, it may be selected at the first time, but this probability is just a thought, but it should not be so bad that the singularity can be found in the end.
Originally, with the working ability of Chaldeas, it was completely possible to search in all directions. Unfortunately, because the big explosion damaged some functions, coupled with the problem of energy supply, Chaldeas can only use part of the functions at present.
"In addition to time, the search in space has no clues at all. If this goes on, maybe the shadow of the fifth singularity will not be found when the Burning of Humanity is realized."
As if seeing that he will burn to ashes, and that there is no hope for human beings to save, the researcher covered his head and cried.
"Don't be so pessimistic, are you still going to retreat at this time? Think in a better direction, maybe we can find the singularity before the director wakes up, and then ask the director to come over worriedly. She showed off."
"I'd rather not have this opportunity to show off."
"What's the meaning?"
Before the researcher could answer, the other person was already excited.
"Me too, every time I hear the director say, 'Hurry up and work overtime for me', I get excited, no matter how tired I am. After being in a coma for a long time, I still can't get my spirits up."
"Huh? Are you like this too? I always thought that I was the only one who would be excited because of the director's rebuke, so I never dared to tell everyone. It turns out that my feelings are not due to psychopaths."
"This kind of thing has already been spread, so everyone will try to make the director angry, even if they do nothing wrong, they will become procrastination. Isn't everyone working overtime contentedly because of the director's anger? Right, Doctor Roman, this is actually a normal psychological reaction."
The eyes of the two fell on Roman in an instant, as if waiting for him to give a satisfactory answer.
"Yes, yes."
Hurry up and wake me up, Director, I suddenly found out that I no longer know this group of people, when did you become a fan?
At this moment, Roman felt that the need to maintain the mental health of the Chaldean staff was a long way to go.
Then again, in this depressing apocalypse, in order to save Chaldea and human beings, Olga Marie decided to become Edolu, which seems unexpectedly interesting.
Too bad it's all perverted.
As a result, we simply missed lunch time.
Roman is also the type who will forget the time when he enters the state. The time for lunch disappears in the blink of an eye, and he can only work until the afternoon on an empty stomach.
Eating one meal less will not affect the health of the human body, but it is just that people are prone to chronic diseases if they have been living such a life habit of three meals a day.
This time Roman simply left the control room early. Facts have long proven that it is not suitable to work on an empty stomach. After leaving the control room, I went to the director's room again. After learning that Olga Marie was in good health, I went to the restaurant.
As a result, Roman unfortunately bumped into Joan of Arc, or Joan of Arc was sitting in the dining room waiting for him to get caught.
But it's only five o'clock. Could it be that Joan of Arc has been sitting here all day waiting for him?
Joan of Arc appeared in Roman's room in the morning to settle accounts in the autumn, but at that time Mona Lisa was in the room, which made Joan's idea fail. In this way, Joan of Arc doesn't actually want other people to know this secret, so even if Roman is caught by her now, Joan of Arc will not reveal her secret.
Besides, in the whole of Chaldea, how many people still don't know that "Roman is the magician S"?
——As long as you can hide it from Rika, that's enough.
Thinking of this, Roman felt a burst of sadness and guilt.
Facts have proved that Roman's worries are completely unfounded, even if he walked in front of Joan, he was ignored by Joan.
what happened to her?
Since Joan of Arc didn't find him, of course Roman wouldn't throw himself into the trap, but Roman couldn't turn a blind eye either. Joan of Arc's state is obviously wrong. As one of the "few" Servants in Chaldea, Lixiang's loyal guard, and as Lixiang's father, Roman also has the responsibility to take care of Joan of Arc's physical and mental health.
- Absolutely no discrimination!
Joan of Arc's eyes stared blankly ahead, but the expression on that face was very complicated. Sometimes frowning, sometimes helpless, sometimes angry, and even faintly showing signs of losing control, Roman wanted to escape this unsafe place of right and wrong.
It's just that when he decides to stand up from his chair and leave this restaurant that will explode at any time——
"Doctor Roman, is it so early today?"
- David, I hate you!
The person who came in from the door of the restaurant was an old man with green hair. He looked at Roman with those holy green eyes and greeted Roman with a bright smile.
If they didn't have any contractual relationship now, Roman would have let David commit suicide on the spot.
This person is David. I don't know if it's a coincidence or some other reason. This dead old man who can keep moving as long as there is electricity will appear in a place like a restaurant that has absolutely nothing to do with him.
"Don't look at me with such angry eyes, this is the time when Miss Joan and I are changing shifts, so I will be here. But Miss Joan has been waiting for you here all day, let the beautiful Waiting for a lady is definitely not what a good man should do, you just... didn't you plan to run away?"
David said malicious words with a smile on his face.
PS: The most important thing for summoning characters is beauty (laughs)
Chapter 697 Chapter 222 Emergencies
"It seems that you have something to talk about, so I'll come later."
David waved his hand dashingly, then turned and left the restaurant.
- David ah ah ah ah ah! !
Joan of Arc, who was sitting not far away, stared at Roman's back with sharp eyes, which made him feel like being stabbed by a needle, and his body did not dare to move.
What else is there to say at this time? Escape is already impossible, Roman can only turn around obediently, and then greet Joan of Arc casually.
"What a coincidence, Joan, I didn't expect you to be here, it's not time for dinner yet."
At present, the time for dinner is no more than ten minutes, and the staff not far away have already prepared the meal.
But that's not the point, is it? It was just an ordinary greeting, the only problem was that Joan of Arc turned a deaf ear to Roman's words.
The increasingly oppressive gaze made Roman Reigns face a formidable enemy, and he felt that his back was covered in cold sweat.
The feeling of being reckoned by someone in the autumn is really uncomfortable.
However, the tension in my heart soon disappeared. The so-called "if it comes, it's safe" is not an issue that can be escaped. Sooner or later, Joan of Arc's censure will come, and it is better to face it now than always be afraid.
——Besides, there is no such thing as scary.
Roman relaxed and sat across from Joan of Arc and looked at her: "What were you thinking just now? I was always in front of you, but I found that you didn't see me at all... Still because of Arturia Worried?"
Joan of Arc probably didn't expect Roman Reigns to preemptively attack.
She didn't speak, just nodded. The sadness on her face still hasn't disappeared. Artoria's departure is not her business alone. In the whole of Chaldea, it is the relationship between Artoria and Joan of Arc. In the end, it is normal for Joan of Arc to stay away because of this.
"Then listen to me. You know it anyway, so I don't need to cover up. The heroic spirit that joined me is Merlin. He is the sage who assists Arturia. I learn from his spirit. There is very little information found in the base."
Generally speaking, sub-servants only get the abilities of Heroic Spirits, and do not have the memories of Heroic Spirits. No matter how big your heart is, personal privacy will never be handed over to others without defense, not even a dead person.
But Roman is different from Merlin. Merlin put all kinds of things on the spiritual foundation, so that Roman can find the things left by Merlin through the spiritual foundation, part of which is about Arturia's past.
Roman felt that a large part of the reason why he was able to summon Merlin was because Merlin knew that Arturia was in Chaldea, so he hoped that Roman could inherit his spiritual foundation to assist Arturia.
It's a pity that Roman's mind has been completely burned by the human body and taken away by his daughter, and Arturia is not in his attention. Probably just like Tachika's complaint, Roman only regarded Arturia as a tool to restore human nature, and could not treat her as a human being.
Arturia's wish is to save the ruined Britain.
She does not think that the destruction of Britain was caused by Mordred, but sees her as her responsibility.
