Chapter 202
@F:? ? ?
...Ah, it’s true.swordsman.You always tell strangers your real name right away.

@F:? ? ?
Didn't I tell you.Didn't I warn you.When self-registration number, at most mentioning the class is enough.

@F:? ? ?
do you really understandRevealing your real name is equivalent to exposing your ability.

@F:? ? ?
Because of this, in normal Holy Grail Wars, servants hide their true names.

@F:? ? ?
But you, you can easily say your real name...

@mordred
It doesn't matter.And this is no longer what you call [# Holy Grail War].

@mordred
There are not seven or fourteen Heroic Spirits, and there is no Master.I said, is there any cider?I'm thirsty.

@F:? ? ?
Ah, that's my favorite special sofa... Okay.The cider is already chilled.

@mordred
You actually have a refrigerator that has not yet become popular here. You so-called scholar is awesome.

@F:? ? ?
Because some medicines must be stored at low temperature.For scholars, a refrigerator is a necessity.

@mordred
Yes Yes Yes.

@mordred
... Gudu, Gudu, Huh.Ah~ come alive.This is what you should drink after soaking in the magic mist!

@mordred
Ok

@mordred
What happen to you guys.Don't stand still, sit down wherever you want.

@mordred
You just treat this as your own home.This is my temporary base.

@Matthew
Ah, okay...Senior, what should I do.Can I do what she says?
? 1: Nothing wrong with it.

? 2: The gentleman with glasses, is that okay?
? !
@F:? ? ?
……Ha ha.Well, it's okay.Since swordsmen trust you, you should be our comrades.

@F:? ? ?
I haven't introduced myself yet.I'm Henry Jekyll.

@jekyll

I'm an academic scientist in London.Although I'm not an official magus, I'm good at concocting elixir.

@jekyll

Before I knew it, London was covered in this fog in an instant.It was horrible.

@jekyll

Although I also found out that the mist contains magic power, I can't do anything about it...

@mordred
Then he met me.So we formed a partnership.

@mordred
Although this guy is not very reliable as a magician, he can still be of some use.

@mordred
So mostly I'm in charge of the action.This guy does the investigation and parsing.

@jekyll

exactly.

@Matthew
Excuse me, Mr. Henry Jekyll?
@Matthew
The name, uh...

@Roman doctor
It has the same name and surname as the character in the novel.Is it by chance?No, or is he the prototype for that character?
@Roman doctor
Mash, can you feel the breath of the servant?I can't do it here.Even inside, it's the same as outside.

@Matthew
Me too, doctor.I can't tell the difference between a human and a follower by breath.

@jekyll

how could be.I'm a real human being.If I were a follower, I would have gone out to investigate.

@jekyll

Also, what were you talking about just now?novel?

@Matthew
……Yes.It should have been published a little earlier than this year.The protagonist in the book has the same name and surname as you.

@jekyll

I have no impression.I have read a lot of novels.

@jekyll

The main character has the same name as me?Really?Hmm... If that's the case, I shouldn't forget it.

@jekyll

Forget it, forget about my name.After all, the name is everywhere.

@jekyll

So let me introduce myself again, I'm Henry Jekyll.I'm just a man who wants to stop his hometown city from being trampled on.

@jekyll

Well, now it's your turn.You should be a little different from us, right?
@mordred
Hmm... something special.

@jekyll

Do you mean that the London of this era is one of the seven screws embedded in the history of the world?
@Matthew
Yes.And we're looking for the holy grail that leads to the singularity.

@jekyll

I probably understand your situation.So let me tell you what we know about the city.

@jekyll

Starting about three days ago, every night, the entire city will be shrouded in fog that can kill living things.

@jekyll

If it is a place where the fog is relatively thin, as long as you wear a mask, you can avoid death.

@jekyll

But where the fog is thick, it will not work.Ordinary bioluminescence will be eroded by magic power if it inhales the mist.

@jekyll

Although the reaction varies according to the quality and constitution of each person, if it is serious, it will die in less than an hour.

@jekyll

The exact number is not yet known, but according to my estimates, the current death toll should be in the hundreds of thousands.

@jekyll

Some areas have been completely reduced to ruins.The East End of London was almost wiped out.

@jekyll

It's probably only a matter of time before this city is completely reduced to rubble.

@jekyll

It's all because of that fog.That abnormally dense fog filled with extremely thick magic power
@jekyll

We'll call it Magic Mist for now.

@Matthew
London is shrouded in the fog of death... This is somewhat similar to events that should have happened in the twentieth century.

@Roman doctor
But a whole century away...?So... it became a singularity...

@Roman doctor
Let me also investigate the events of the twentieth century here.I thought it only involved one city, but I didn't expect it to be quite tricky.

@jekyll

It's not just the magic fog that's tricky.You should have encountered and fought it.

@jekyll

In addition to the magic fog, London was also filled with various other threats during these three days.

@jekyll

Someone took advantage of the magic mist to continue committing crimes.[#Automata:Automata] generated by magic, artificial life forms that can kill...

@jekyll

And [#Unidentified Strange Machine: Chaos Mechanical Soldiers]
@jekyll

And there are serial killers.The report called it [#Jack the Ripper: Jack the Ripper].

@Matthew
Report...?
@jekyll

Well, the newspaper was still in circulation the first day the Mist came out... but it's gone now.

@jekyll

[#Metropolitan police: Scotland Yard] and the government certainly don't have a grasp of the situation either.

@jekyll

In fact, government functions have been gradually paralyzed.Rescue from outside was also blocked by the magic fog, and London was in a state of isolation and helplessness.

@jekyll

It has been three days since the incident occurred.I'm afraid citizens who are shut in their doors won't be able to survive for long.

@jekyll

Although the magic fog will not invade the room, once the water and food are exhausted, London will be over.

@Roman doctor
...It's really serious. The current situation is extremely urgent.So Mr. Jekyll, and Mordred.

@Roman doctor
This is our proposal.We hope that you can assist us in our search for the Holy Grail of the source of events.

@jekyll

This is exactly what we want.Right, swordsman?

@mordred
Okay.It seems that this is the best solution.

@Roman doctor
Great, helped us a lot in two senses!
@Roman doctor
So Matthew, Meow!This apartment just so happens to be built on [#Lingmai]!

? 1: Huh?

? 2: You can set the terminal point.

? !
@fufu
Fu!
@Matthew
Yes, senior, Fufu.A summoning array can be established in this room.

@Matthew
Could it be that Mr. Jekyll built a workshop here because he knew the existence of the spirit vein?

@jekyll

No, I am not a regular magician, so this is not a magic workshop.This is just my room.

@jekyll

However, you can use this as you wish.What are you going to do?
@Roman doctor
Establishing the summoning array of servants on the spiritual vein can improve the combat effectiveness of Meow and Mash.

@Roman doctor
Although the servants who appear through the summoning circle may not be able to act all the time, they can provide great help in battle!
@Roman doctor
In summary!Let's start building!

@Matthew
Understood.Start building endpoints
@Da Vinci

So during the period of establishing the summoning array, let me accompany you to pass the time.

@Da Vinci

I've talked about the affinity between Servant classes before, so I'll continue with that topic this time.

@Da Vinci

Each Heroic Spirit has its own legend, which can be divided into several types according to where they were born.

@Da Vinci

These are the three attributes of heaven, earth and man.Most Servants fall into one of these three categories.

@Da Vinci

Heaven refers to the heroic spirits descended from the gods, or the sons of gods, the embodiment of inheritance.

@Da Vinci

Land is a hero in local legends, and goblins, monsters, etc. also belong to this category.

@Da Vinci

Human beings are heroes and great men who actually existed.Let's say I am.Consider the great [#Artist:Artist] that actually existed.

@Da Vinci

The sky conquers the earth, and is conquered by people.The earth overcomes the people, but is conquered by the sky.

@Da Vinci

Man conquers the sky, but is conquered by the earth.

@Da Vinci

... Humans believe in gods.But from another point of view, if people's belief is lost, God 'doesn't exist'.

@Da Vinci

A hero or goblin rooted in the land has nothing to do with faith.On the other hand, they cannot defeat the gods who created themselves.

@Da Vinci

...In addition, there are a small number of special heroic spirits that do not belong to any of these three types of attributes.

@Da Vinci

[#Exception: Extra] in exception.That is the Heroic Spirit of the Stars.

@Da Vinci

Does not belong to heaven, does not belong to earth, does not belong to man.However, there are existences under the sky, above the earth, and born from humans.

@Da Vinci

The followers of the stars have nothing to do with the mutual generation and restraint of heaven, earth and man.After all they are exceptional.

@Da Vinci

Having said that, this is ultimately just a matter of classification.

@Da Vinci

The effect is not as obvious as class compatibility, so there is no need to specifically consider these when fighting.

@Da Vinci

...Oh, let's call it a day.The summoning array is established.You also have to work hard in this era!
@Roman doctor
Thank you, dear Da Vinci, thank you!Thank you this time too! !
@jekyll

Who was that just now?It's pretty...but it's not real, is it?

@fufu
F, F!
@jekyll

...? ?

@mordred
……Um.This guy looks familiar.Is it a fantasy species?

@fufu
Fu, fuu...

@Matthew
Fufu? ?
@jekyll

Is it a rare animal in Africa?But speaking of swordsmen, there are also Mash and Meow.

@jekyll

Let's get straight to the point. I have something I want to ask of you.

@mordred
I just came back, are you going to go into the magic mist again?It’s really frustrating.

@Matthew
I'm very sorry to trouble you to lead the way.We are not yet familiar with the streets of London.

@mordred
Ah, it's okay, don't worry about it.If you didn't come, this would have been my job.

@mordred
I should thank you instead.Sorry for getting you into this kind of nonsense.

@Matthew
No, Mordred.no such thing...

@Roman doctor
Are you going to protect one of Jekyll's helpers, the Swiss scholar Frankenstein?

@Roman doctor
It is said that we have lost contact with him since this morning.Do you usually communicate by radio?

@mordred
It was Jekyll making the connection.He said it was his intelligence network.I don't know very well.

@mordred
There are his helpers all over the city, and they often communicate with him by radio.

@mordred
At least as of yesterday, Mr. Victor was still safe.

@Roman doctor
Victor Frankenstein thought it was another character in the novel, but it turned out to be his [#Descendants].

@Matthew
Mr. Jekyll said that the magician of the prototype character in the novel is the scholar's grandfather.

@Matthew
It was indeed surprising.According to the description in Mary Shelley's novel...

@Matthew
Dr. Frankenstein is a scientist.However, the prototype of its character is a real magician.

@Matthew
Reminiscent of that Far Eastern proverb, reality is stranger than fiction.

? 1: Is it so strange?

? 2: Is there such a big difference between a scientist and a magician?

? !
@Matthew
Yes.Because magic and science are supposed to be completely opposite technologies.

@Matthew
After all, Chaldea is an extremely exceptional existence. If you think about it this way, from the perspective of the world and history,

@Roman doctor
Ah, um.However, there are always exceptions to everything.In some eras, science and magic were almost synonymous.

@Roman doctor
It is not limited to the age of the gods or ancient times. For example, it can be said that alchemy is the source of chemistry.

@Roman doctor
Many of the well-known scientists, chemists, scholars, etc. are magicians.

@Roman doctor
And you see.Isn't Da Vinci dear?

@Matthew
what

@Da Vinci

Well, you called me?

@Da Vinci

Ah, the topic of science and magic.It's useless to use me as an example.Because~

@Da Vinci

I am omnipotent.No one can compare to me.What a pity.See you later.

@Matthew
ah.Communication was interrupted.

? 1: What’s going on with that guy?

? 2: Da Vinci is too freewheeling...

? !
@Matthew
Ok……

@mordred
Soon to be in Soho.Don't let your guard down.The enemy is almost coming.

@mordred
The corner of town where Jekyll's apartment is located is relatively quiet.

@mordred
But it's not that simple around here.This is where those guys belong.

@Roman doctor
Indeed.There are multiple moving objects reacting.The battle is about to start, be vigilant!
@Matthew
yes.Master, please issue instructions!
$01-00-04-03-2-0
@mordred
...really.The enemy is at it again.I really want to put Noble Phantasms wherever I want.

@Matthew
This is a city street, sorry, but please refrain from being so impulsive.

@mordred
I know, you fool.Ah, really, I feel a little weird when you say that.

@Matthew
Please wait a moment. "Shield" means me...! ?

@mordred
ha?Aren't you just playing shields?You use shields to defend, and use shields to hit people.

@mordred
Or, do you want to be called Sister Shield?I don't mind either.

@Matthew
……No.Please just call me a shield player...

@Roman doctor
The enemy seems to be planning to attack left and right.May I ask you the right side, swordsman Mordred?

@mordred
I will handle it.I used to solve them all by myself.

@mordred
Are you ready, meow?
? 1: Well, leave it to me! !

? 2: Destroy the enemy on the left!
? !
@Matthew
clear.Start fighting with enemies!

$01-00-04-03-3-0
@Matthew
Excuse me... can I talk to you about something.

@Matthew
…………Well……

@mordred
What's the matter, hurry up.If you have something to say, say it quickly.

@Matthew
……Um.

@Matthew
I have a question for you.Why are you fighting here?

@Matthew
Mr. Jekyll is to protect the hometown city.then what are you for

@mordred
Have I already said that?I came here to save my father's beloved [#BritishCity:Londinion] from danger.

@Matthew
uh...that...

@Matthew
right.You did say that when we first met.Having said that...

@Matthew
I hope you won't be angry when you hear this. For some reason, I always feel that... this should... not be the real reason.

@mordred
...really.

@mordred
I got it.I never told Jekyll about this.

@mordred
me
@mordred
Hmm, [#yes].I will not allow anyone but me to defile this land of Britain.

@mordred
Only I can defile the land of Britain that [#FatherKing:KingArthur] loves so much.This is the only thing I will never compromise on.

? 1:……

? 2: The personality is really twisted...

? !
@mordred
Um?What did you just say?
? 1: No, nothing was said.

? 2: No, nothing special
? !
@mordred
If you have anything to say, say it quickly.But all in all...

@mordred
Do not worry.The Holy Grail found may be yours.

@mordred
I will not say that I want it at that time, and there is no point in saying so.

@mordred
I am Mordred, the rebellious knight.But this time, I will make an exception and side with the Guardians.

@mordred
To be honest, I was a little hesitant before.But after meeting you guys, I figured it out.

@Matthew
Why is this...?
@mordred
Because finally there is someone who is qualified to own it.I will give you the Holy Grail.

@Matthew
...? ?

@mordred
All that needs to be said has been said.Don't bring up this subject again.

@mordred
It's almost time to reach the mansion, but another enemy is coming.Well, then tear them apart!
@Roman doctor
Mordred's perception is really amazing.Is this an intuitive skill?I also detected a hostile reaction, there are three waves in total!

@Matthew
Understood.Master, please issue instructions!
$01-00-04-03-4-0
@mordred
Great, here we are.This magnificent building is the mansion of Mr. Victor.

@mordred
He's a real magician, unlike Jekyll's half-assed ones, so watch out.

@mordred
This house is full of traps and other traps. If you touch them casually without knowing anything, even the followers will suffer.

@mordred
The first time I came here to find out what was going on, it was a real crime.

@Matthew
That's right.OK, I'll be careful too.

@Roman doctor
There is such a workshop in the city center that looks like a paradise of death... It seems that the other party is really a courageous and vigilant old man.

@mordred
First of all be careful with the entrance door.You see.this huge door

@mordred
Damn, are you a step late?

@Matthew
There's someone at the entrance of the building... tall, that figure is...[#clown:Pierrot]...?
@mordred
Hello, Scarecrow.Or should I call you a living sculpture?Anyway, whatever.it's you
@mordred
The smell was overwhelming.The smell of blood, guts, and fireworks.

@mordred
There is also the smell of the elemental magic catalyst that the old man likes, I can smell it clearly even standing here.

@mordred
You killed it.You killed Victor Frankenstein.

@Mephistopheles

Hmm, yes, no, no, what is going on.please wait for a moment.

@Mephistopheles

That's right, that's right.That old man can no longer speak, brush his teeth, eat, or breathe.

@Mephistopheles

okokokok.To put it more clearly, it is dead.

@Mephistopheles

it's a pity.He refused to participate in the 'plan' until the last moment.

@Mephistopheles

But but but.But but but.Who actually killed Victor Frankenstein?

@Mephistopheles

This may be a difficult question to answer.Because, he belonged to [#自己爆炸]!

@Matthew
...!
@Mephistopheles

oops.Scared this beautiful lady?

@Mephistopheles

That was a real faux pas.As you can see, I'm a passing demon
@Mephistopheles

Of course this was just a joke.I regret not being able to respond to your expectations. I am just a heroic spirit.

@Mephistopheles

I am a follower just like you.Class is Magician.

@Mephistopheles

……oops?Hey guys, didn't you understand what I said?
@mordred
enough.Shut up.

@Mephistopheles

No no no, you should understand.Why did I give my real name so easily?

@Mephistopheles

This is the right thing to do in this Holy Grail War that cannot be called the Holy Grail War.At least the lady over there should understand!
@Mephistopheles

Encounter means going to war with all your strength immediately!We have no servants of the Master

@Mephistopheles

It should be regarded as the most powerful combat power in the world.However……

@Mephistopheles

The sad thing is that there seems to be a Master on your side.Please protect the Master well.Otherwise, in the blink of an eye...

@mordred
less nonsense.Shut your smiling mouth immediately.

@Mephistopheles

what?
@mordred
It looks like a superficial smile!It's annoying!Is it [#happy] to kill an old man!
@Mephistopheles

this, uh huh
@Mephistopheles

He got in the way of our 'plan', so it should be my job.

@Matthew
plan……?
@Mephistopheles

Well, to be honest, I'm not very good at fulfilling this kind of obligatory obligation.

@Mephistopheles

But even so, I'm enjoying myself.Enjoy the job to the fullest.I have worked so hard for this.

@Mephistopheles

At that last moment, his expression.That was the expression of a human who understood the transition from life to death!

@Mephistopheles

despair!sigh!ah ah!that's!

@Mephistopheles

So, uh huh

@Mephistopheles

This is more or less a pastime, right?

@mordred
……yes.

@mordred
Immigrant or not, that old man is a British citizen.Listen up, you guy actually...

@mordred
You should know the consequences of taking action against [#我的事实] without authorization, right?
@Mephistopheles

as a result of?

@mordred
That means I'm going to kill you, you bastard!
@Mephistopheles

Oh, oh, it's amazing!Are you going to kill me!Can you kill me!

@Mephistopheles

You seem to be a vigorous person!Well, no problem, let me meet your expectations!

@Mephistopheles

But everyone, be careful of explosions!My Noble Phantasm has already been [#set up]!

@Mephistopheles

I swear by my real name, Mephistopheles!I'll send you all into ludicrous and ludicrous despair!

@Roman doctor
What does he mean by settings! ?Damn, I don't know if it's affected by the mist or his ability, I can't perceive it!
@Matthew
Master, enemy servants are attacking!Please give instructions

? 1: Knock down that guy!

? 2: Pay attention to the Noble Phantasm, fight cautiously!

? !
@Matthew
…………yes!

$01-00-04-03-4-1
@Mephistopheles

How much... what a pity...!I don’t seem to have much fun in this world...

@Mephistopheles

Master is indeed indispensable... yes, this is the same as...

@Mephistopheles

The power of the bond between the master and the servant has nothing to do... well, not really.

@Mephistopheles

At least one or two children must be killed by the master who wants to fulfill his sad wish.

@Mephistopheles

If not, I wouldn't be able to taste the fun of the Holy Grail War.Ahh, I'm so jealous of you... Shield Servant...

@Mephistopheles

In the future, you will have countless... chances to betray the Master and drive him into despair...!
@Mephistopheles

It's... so enviable...!
@mordred
To shut up.

@mordred
... have you found anything?

@Matthew
Well, I found the notes left by the doctor.It looks like he was attacked while writing his notes.

@mordred
Yeah.This old man was so unhappy until his death.Really.

@Matthew
...let me read it.

@Matthew
"I found a plan. The name is 'Magic Mist Project'. The specifics are temporarily unknown."

@Matthew
"The leaders of the plan are 'P', 'B', and 'M'. All of them can use magic that exceeds the level of human intelligence, and they are probably heroic spirits."

@mordred
Is 'M' the guy just now?Forget it, take this note back and let Jekyll see it too.

@mordred
In other words, I also found an interesting thing.

@mordred
Hello, come here.

@H:? ? ?
……Well.

@Matthew
...Girls?

? 1: It has horns.

@Matthew
yes.It's horn...

? 2: Is she human?Or follower?
@Matthew
Not sure.You should ask her this.

? !
@Matthew
are you humanOr are you a follower like us?
@H:? ? ?
... Mmmm.

@Matthew
...?
@Roman doctor
Hmm... I can't judge here... Only biological reactions and moving object reactions were detected.

@Roman doctor
The effect of the magic fog on sensor-related systems seems to have also affected the interior.Matthew, how are you?
@Matthew
I can't tell either.What about Mordred?

@mordred
Nothing can be determined by breath alone.Probably because of the magic fog outside.

@mordred
But you want to ask what this guy is?Of course it's a Servant
@mordred
I'd love to say that. ...in my memory it should be like this...

@mordred
But, um.This guy looks like an artificial human.

@Matthew
Artificial man?
@mordred
She was placed in a coffin in the inner room.There is also an instruction manual.Let me see.

@mordred
Said to be the first artificial human made by his grandfather Victor Frankenstein.

@Roman doctor
It's Frankenstein's monster.But I remember at the end of the novel, she was burned to ashes?
@Roman doctor
I don't know if she can hear me.Uh... are you Frankenstein's monster?
@H:? ? ?
... umm, ah... umm...

@mordred
Ok?
@Matthew
She doesn't seem to have the ability to speak.But somehow, I could see what she was thinking.

@H:? ? ?
…………

@Matthew
name.Surely you don't like the name monster.

@H:? ? ?
... Mmmm.

? 1: How about calling you Fran?

? !
@H:? ? ?
……Well……

@Matthew
Ah, he seems very happy.Then you are Miss Fran.

@Fran
……Well……

@Matthew
Are you... an artificial human?
@Fran
... um, um...

@mordred
Not a Servant?Ah, that’s it.Is she still [#alive]?
@mordred
finally, I understand.That's it, no wonder you can't tell from the outside.

@Matthew
...?
@mordred
It's okay, I'm just talking to myself.

@mordred
It's not good to leave her here, anyway, let's take her back to Jekyll first.

@Fran
... um, um...

@mordred
Your master is no longer here.So, well, you can go anywhere.

@mordred
Anyway, take you to Jekyll first.let's go.Artificial people should not be affected by the magic fog.

@Matthew
is that so.Not necessarily.This is very dangerous behavior.

@mordred
It's all right, this guy isn't breathing.Right, Fran.

@Fran
……Well.

@mordred
You see, she nodded.
