When I arrived in this world, I was full of energy, but for some reason, I drank the Sleeping Tea and talked to Merlin. After that, I reverted to my old state of not wanting to do anything. Although my goal is to be a lazy bum, I can't simply become a lazy bum in this world.
There's no immediate danger on Rafe's side, so we can focus on Olga Marie now. Without Rafe's interference, she should be able to contact Waver and Atlas without any problems.
Once we get in touch with these two, many things will be much easier.
Weber's collection of knowledge is a dazzling array of magical information. Even with Leonardo da Vinci's help, it would take him a very long time to organize it all without Weber's personal instruction.
Not to mention, Leonardo da Vinci had other things to do, and the option of seeking help from Dr. Roman was never available in the first place. Although Solomon was the founder of modern magic, he knew very well what kind of people the Grand Magicians and those candidates were.
You can ask them to help you chop someone up, that's absolutely no problem, but if you ask them to help analyze magic and organize magic theories, well, that's just laughable.
Not wanting to waste any more time on them, Yue Zhengling followed in Rafe's footsteps toward Olga Marie's location.
The biggest anomaly in this world is Olga Marie. If he wants to know whether this world is really as he guessed, he must start with her.
If I remember correctly, the former director, Marisbury, died in this year.
Olga Marie succeeded her father in her duties at the Clock Tower and Chaldea, becoming one of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower and the director of Chaldea, the institution that safeguards the continuation of human order.
The Animusfia family uses planetary magic and can be considered the family with the deepest understanding of stars in the Type-Moon world. It is precisely because of this that they have such a deep connection with alien gods.
In principle, it is not unreasonable to say that Chaldea is a special observatory, and because of the existence of several special facilities, everyone covets this special observatory.
After the former director's death, this girl took on the responsibility of the place, fighting against the covetous outsiders while also calming the uneasy atmosphere inside Chaldea. It has to be said that this girl is so strong that it is heartbreaking.
However, this girl is not good at interpersonal communication, and as an aristocrat, she is arrogant and self-righteous.
He has a very bad temper due to work pressure.
However, by nature, she is a proud person who values those around her, dislikes owing favors, and always repays kindness. She likes to act strong, but is actually fragile and easily hurt.
Most importantly, her craving for recognition from others became a fatal weakness.
Chapter 169 The Amazing Fufu
Just as Le Zhengling was considering how to lure Olga Marie into becoming his pawn, Rafe's figure suddenly disappeared after turning two corners.
"Huh?" After walking for a while, Le Zhengling realized that he had lost his way. He didn't know if Rafe had deliberately shaken him off or if the other person had gone into another room.
Without Chaldea authorization, he couldn't open the room door. It was fine before with Mashu with him, but now that no one was around, he couldn't continue his search.
Looking at the road behind him, he couldn't remember how he got here, so he couldn't even go back to the rest area.
"Oh no, I forgot I have no sense of direction..." Yue Zhengling looked around and finally shrugged helplessly.
"There's no other way, at this point..." Although I don't know the way and there's no one around, it's not only people who know the way.
“I’ve decided on you, Fufu…” he shouted in a listless voice, then weakly put Fufu on the ground.
“fou~four~four~ (What’s wrong? What do you want to do?)” Fou, who was placed on the ground, looked at him in confusion.
"Oh, I'm lost. I'm counting on you. Please lead the way. I'm looking for Olga Marie." Le Zhengling waved his hand. He knew that in this Chaldea, Fou was an extremely special being. She could enter anywhere. He didn't know what kind of authority the former director had given her or what special skills she had.
Everything is fine, now he can only rely on Fufu.
"Four~ (follow me)" Fufu blinked, then took a few steps and ran off in a certain direction.
"Ah, Fufu, don't run so fast, I can't keep up..." Yue Zhengling's lazy voice said behind her, but Fufu ignored him completely and ran forward at full speed. She would not stop to wait for him. In the past, during their chase, she had fully understood how annoying Yue Zhengling's speed was.
More importantly, He didn't want to waste time, otherwise, He wouldn't be able to see this week's spectacular view!
With that thought in mind, Cathy Parluge sped up even more, running towards her favorite spot.
And Le Zhengling, who was following behind Him, could only try his best to keep up.
"As expected of Fou who has trained at Chaldea for so long, her speed is much faster than before..." Following closely behind Fou, Yue Zhengling forced himself to stay alert. "No wonder she was able to knock out Lev with a single Knight Kick... The results of her training day and night are no joke. Merlin, you'd better watch yourself."
Thinking about the target of Fufu's hard training and the image of Merlin's face being beaten out of shape, Yue Zhengling felt a little excited.
As they ran, they took an elevator to a secluded underground space, and then ventured into some deeper part of the world.
"Fufu, you really are amazing." Following Fufu's instructions, Yue Zhengling pressed the floor button and looked at the white demon cat with a strange gaze.
"fou~fo~ (What does that mean)?" Fufu looked at him, puzzled.
"Because I was wondering how you usually take the elevator?" Yue Zhengling looked at the selection buttons on the two rows of projection screens and realized that Chaldea was indeed full of advanced technology.
That makes sense, though. This is humanity's ultimate fortress, a combination of cutting-edge technology and magic. Just the fact that it's built on snow-capped peaks over 6000 meters high in Antarctica is a problem that science alone cannot solve.
Moreover, most of Chaldea's facilities are still inside the mountain, meaning that part of the mountain was actually excavated. Once you think of this, you know that the manpower and resources spent must have been an astonishing figure.
Moreover, the daily maintenance and energy consumption of other facilities are also quite substantial.
"Well. But this place is similar. So much money was spent to build it, and it was still conquered in the end. I wonder if those people will destroy Chaldea."
When Chaldea fell and Leonardo da Vinci was killed, he felt it was better not to save this humanity. He had worked so hard to repair the seven singularities, only to be met with the most despicable betrayal.
Anyone would feel that all the previous efforts were not worthwhile.
Yawning, he walked to a glass window. It was an observation room. On the other side of the window was a mechanical bed, and Mash Kyrielight was lying on it, wearing the same hospital gown he had worn before.
These hospital gowns don't allow underwear. Although I used to wear them all the time, they were ultimately manifestations of my soul, so I was always properly dressed underneath.
But Mashu here is different. Wearing a blue hospital gown, lying flat on the bed with her eyes closed, her mysterious nipples are clearly visible to Yue Zhengling.
It has to be said that Mashu is the kind of person who looks slim when dressed. If Fou hadn't brought her here, she would never have had the chance to see this beautiful scene.
Le Zheng stroked Fu Fu's head and unceremoniously approached the window. His previous drowsiness had vanished, and now he was focusing intently on capturing what he saw in front of him as a 1080P high-definition image and storing it deep in his mind.
"You! Why are you here?!" Suddenly, an angry voice exploded in his ear.
Upon hearing the voice, Yue Zhengling knew that this was the person he was looking for, but he didn't have time to pay attention to her right now because Ma Xiu was changing her position and lying on the bed.
The curves of her buttocks, which she had only caught a glimpse of before, were now fully exposed before her eyes. How could she miss such an opportunity?
Seeing that Yue Zhengling was completely ignoring her and staring intently at Mashu, Olga Marie was so angry that she jumped up and down.
She was angry not because Yue Zhengling was staring at Mashu shamelessly, but because the other party ignored her.
Sensitive and proud, she cannot tolerate being looked down upon, especially since this guy is a Servant she summoned herself, and in principle, he is her familiar, her possession!
But whether in the past or now, the other party has repeatedly disregarded me, which is simply intolerable.
Thinking this, Olga Marie, enraged, raised her right hand and shouted, "By the name of the Command Spell! You give me..."
"Calm down, Olga Marie." Just as Olga Marie was about to use a Command Spell, a soft female voice sounded behind her, and at the same time, a hand wearing a dark blue glove grabbed her raised right hand.
Chapter 170 Confirming the Look: It's the Person Who Was Being Criticized
"Let go! Da Vinci! I'm going to teach this guy a lesson today!" Olga Marie struggled with all her might, but how could an ordinary person's strength compare to that of a Servant? Moreover, Da Vinci's magical energy supply was exceptionally abundant, and his strength was no different from that of his original self.
Da Vinci had to control her strength so as not to hurt her. She looked at Olga Marie, who was like a cat with its fur standing on end, with a troubled expression. Calming her down was no easy task.
Pretending to only just come to her senses, Yue Zhengling turned her head and raised her right hand to Da Vinci, saying, "Oh, what a coincidence."
Da Vinci rolled his eyes helplessly at Le Zhengling's carefree attitude. What was even more infuriating was that after greeting him, the man turned his head back and focused intently on Mashu inside.
Olga Marie, who had been ignored yet again, finally lost her senses. But this time, instead of using Command Spells, she displayed superhuman physical abilities, broke free from Leonardo da Vinci's restraints, and pounced on Yue Zhengling like a madwoman.
"I'm going to kill you!!!" Olga Marie, her eyes bloodshot, didn't consider the difference in strength between herself and Yue Zhengling at all. In other words, in her eyes, Yue Zhengling, who looked about the same age as her, couldn't possibly be that powerful.
However, even though Yue Zhengling wasn't focusing his attention on Olga Marie, and the alluring scene before him made it impossible for him to look away, the conditioned reflex still persisted.
Having survived countless chases and attacks, dodging had become an instinct. So, after unconsciously shifting three steps to the right, Olga Marie fell to the ground and lay motionless.
Le Zhengling ignored her, while Da Vinci stood there looking like he had a headache and said, "Ah, I'm not going to deal with this anymore."
Even Fou only glanced at Olga Marie before continuing to stare at Mashu with shining eyes, completely uninterested in the puddle on the ground.
"Waaah, waaah..." However, just as Yue Zhengling was concentrating on looking through the gap in her hospital gown at the faintly visible pink, she heard a ghostly wailing sound in her ear again.
Even though he didn't want to pay attention, the crying sounded too eerie. Le Zhengling frowned, turned his head down, and looked at Olga Marie, who was crawling at his feet.
The girl was lying face down so her face couldn't be seen, but her trembling shoulders and the sound of her crying clearly showed that she was very sad.
"So, what are you crying about?" Yue Zhengling asked in a very calm tone.
Upon hearing Yue Zhengling's voice, Olga Marie paused for a moment, then stopped crying, but her trembling body continued, so she was probably still crying silently.
Le Zhengling sighed and squatted down. "Crying won't solve anything. If you have any problems, feel free to tell me. If it can solve them, I still won't help you unless there's something in it for me."
Da Vinci was initially relieved to see Le Zhengling comforting Olga Marie. He believed that the one who tied the knot must untie it, and that as long as Le Zhengling was willing to reconcile with Olga Marie, things would be much more stable in the future.
However, to her surprise, the second half of Yue Zhengling's sentence was so speechless that she unconsciously labeled Yue Zhengling as fickle. They had clearly gotten along very well before, and Yue Zhengling had even told her those unspeakable secrets when they met for the first time.
At that time, she thought Yue Zhengling was an easy person to talk to, but she did not expect that Yue Zhengling's attitude would change so much after she changed her partner.
It is still unknown whether he harbored prejudice against Olga Marie or something else, but Leonardo da Vinci knew that if things continued this way, neither of them would benefit.
On one hand, Leonardo da Vinci had already realized the seriousness of what was happening. He had confirmed some of what Le Zhengling had said in his private conversation with Romani. After all, although he had become an ordinary person, he had not lost his memories as King Solomon. The Goetia plan, the steps of burning humanity, and even the effects of King Solomon's three Noble Phantasms were not things that could be made up.
On the other hand, even though Yue Zhengling knew so much, there were still some things he didn't know, namely about Olga Marie, which differed somewhat from what Yue Zhengling had said.
Da Vinci knew he needed to find an opportunity to explain things to Le Zhengling, but the timing was difficult to grasp because Rafe was always by Olga Marie's side.
After being reminded by Le Zhengling, Da Vinci had been paying attention to Rafe's actions, so she could sense that Rafe was standing at the corner of the corridor and had not come out.
Moreover, she rushed over after a brief conversation with Romani because she was worried about Yue Zhengling and feared something might happen to him.
If Rafe is to stay by Olga Marie's side, then Leonardo da Vinci is to stay by Le Zhengling's side.
Here, both of them share a similar goal: to prevent anything from happening to the person they are under guardianship.
Although heroic spirits cannot get sick, the thought of having Yue Zhengling as his guardian gave even the omnipotent Leonardo da Vinci an unusual headache.
However, she was unaware that after Le Zhengling spoke with Rafe, Rafe had already placed Le Zhengling on his watchful eye. If he later discovered that Da Vinci was intentionally covering for Le Zhengling, it would trigger a series of unacceptable consequences.
However, at present, Rafe is only slightly wary and has no intention of monitoring Le Zhengling too much, because the other party had warned him that if he interfered too much, the great cause of burning humanity might be exposed prematurely.
This is what makes Rafe hesitant to act. In addition, Yue Zhengling did not show any disgust or hostility towards the burning of humanity, so Rafe did not regard him as an enemy, but at most as someone he needed to pay attention to.
He planned to observe Lok Ching-ling for a period of time before submitting all the information about him to the Bureau of Statistics for analysis. He was not prepared to use overly drastic measures before obtaining the best solution.
That's why he stayed in a corner and didn't stand up for Olga Marie even when she was being bullied.
Upon hearing Yue Zhengling's words, "Unless there's something in it for me, I still won't help you," Olga Marie raised her head, her bloodshot eyes fixed on him.
Le Zhengling, however, half-closed his eyes and looked at her with his bright red eyes.
If I had to describe this scene, it would be that the two of them locked eyes and recognized each other as adversaries, because there was hostility in their eyes towards each other.
"So, arrogance ruins your life, and the leading lady position is gone from you." After a long while, Yue Zhengling stroked Olga Marie's hair and said this.
Chapter 171 Turning into a Salted Fish
For Yue Zhengling, before they met, Olga Marie was just a stranger to him, and his understanding of her from the game was limited to the fact that she died twice.
But when she was summoned, the girl arrogantly placed herself in the position of Master, completely ignoring her wishes and trying to control her. At that moment, Yue Zhengling felt a deep disgust for her.
Le Zhengling believed that no one had the right to distort his will, not even in the face of the threat of death or those great responsibilities.
Just as he had told Araya Sōren, his way of being was his own to decide, and it always had been, and it would always be.
Don't tell him that Olga Marie just doesn't understand him. There are plenty of people who don't understand themselves, so why should you accommodate them all?
Although I don't consider myself a person with strong principles, there are always some things in life that one cannot give up, no matter who you are.
His insistence is that he can only be himself, and every choice must follow his own heart. Even if in the future everything he has is completely negated, the meaning of life is just a joke, or even everything he has experienced is a lie, at least he has never compromised with anyone. Every move he makes is his own decision, and he will bear the consequences, no matter what.
Therefore, he had a strong aversion to Olga Marie, who was completely self-centered.
After patting her head, Yue Zhengling stood up. He wanted to continue watching Mashu, but he didn't expect the examination to be completed. When Mashu saw him standing outside the window, she seemed to be startled, and then her face turned red.
Then Mashu hurriedly took a few steps back and rushed into the changing room next door without looking back.
"Ah, what a pity, it's over." Yue Zhengling sighed, then lay down on a bench outside the waiting room.
Seeing this, Leonardo da Vinci had no choice but to pull Olga Marilla up and gently comfort her.
Shortly after, Dr. Roman brought Mashu out and was somewhat taken aback by the scene.
Then he turned his gaze to Le Zhengling, who was sleeping on the bench. He was filled with curiosity about this special person, but like Leonardo da Vinci, he also remained deeply wary of him.
Even during his reign as King Solomon, he had never seen such a peculiar being. He could tell that Yue Zhengling was not a human who had become a Heroic Spirit, because he gave him the feeling of Sheba.
Sheba was the daughter of a demon woman and a human man, and her non-human aura was already strong enough, but in his eyes now, the non-human aura of Le Zhengling was even stronger than that of Sheba back then.
"Romani, is there a problem with Mashu's examination?" Leonardo da Vinci asked, deliberately diverting Dr. Roman's attention from Le Zhengling.
"Oh? Ah, no problem. Physical health and mental state are fluctuating a little, but they're still relatively stable." Dr. Roman paused for a moment, then immediately followed up on Da Vinci's question.
"Alright, now it's the director's turn." Dr. Roman knew that Da Vinci was deliberately changing the subject, and then he saw that Olga Marie had already arrived. Since that was the case, he decided to finish his work first.
