At the same time, after Daddy Bean finished licking his fingers and firmly stood on his side, Shirou also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now he yelled loudly casually, and let Daddy Bean lick his fingers confidently, but in fact, the original plot of "FGO" that Shirou knew may not be applicable to this world line, and he was actually not sure whether he could [-]% win in this singularity.

But he was betting that he would win!Just like Yan Shuangying who bet that there will be no bullets in his pistol, Shirou who defeated the sixth beast is so confident!

Foreseeing the final victory of the master, Douba also gave up the idea of ​​surrendering, and by the way, he dragged Little Jack to surrender together.

Daddy Dou, who gave up his illusions and devoted himself to fighting, is also determined to use his own strength to offer a saving love to children throughout human history.

Not only is he an excellent magician himself, but he has also successfully synchronized Finn's ability, and he can indeed contribute to it.

By the way, Shirou asked Yumedea to cut off the master contract between the two of them and Maqili Zorgen. After all, the opponent was Lord Chong who invented the command spell. According to the original plot, Babbage, who still had a conscience, was attacked. Control from the Holy Grail.

This is actually a manifestation of Shirou's cautious character. After all, he asked Jekyll to write the name of Lord Chong on the death note not long ago.

It's just that without conclusive proof, he didn't completely treat Master Chong as a dead person.

Facts have proved that his caution is indeed necessary.

……

After solving the battle at the Scotland Yard Police Station, Shirou planned to attack the Magic Association directly in one go.

"According to the prediction of the reincarnation eye, the opponent's headquarters is there!"

Shirou explained this to his followers.

Daddy Bean was a little hesitant to speak. In the short future he saw after licking his fingers, the location of the final battle didn't seem to be there.

Just as a group of people were about to leave, suddenly Jekyll's urgent shout came from the police station: "It's not good! Westminster calls for help!"

It turned out that he was influenced by his own kindness. After instigating Dou Da, he had been collecting the bodies of the killed cops. While walking around, relying on Ye Shenyue's keen observation ability, he noticed the telegraph machine in the police station. A distress message came: a large-scale collective suicide by jumping into the river on the banks of the Thames in Westminster, as if possessed by a demon.

Shirou's heart tightened suddenly: it's probably the masterpiece of a phantom again.

If the young Emiya Kiritsugu had the choice, he would probably have given up these lives and directly united with Doupa and Jack to attack the headquarters of the Magic Association.

But Shirou made a decision without hesitation: to save people!

Both Jekyll and Daddy Bean nodded in unison, feeling that they were right with the wrong person.

This choice did not disappoint the followers of the original Chaldea.

Although the timing of the surprise attack on Baal and Lord Chong was slightly delayed, as the master, he once again gathered the hearts of the team.

……

Westminster District, although it is called a district, is actually a municipality with city status under London. It is also the seat of the administrative center of the United Kingdom, the seat of the world-famous Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, and the flow of the Thames River in London. Classically.

At this moment, the mother river of Britain has witnessed a horrific tragedy.

A big man dressed in colorful clothes with a mix of eastern and western looks was playing a flute made of steel, setting off frantic and demonic tunes.

Affected by the sound of the flute, hundreds of London citizens walked out of their homes one after another, took to the streets like zombies, and finally fell straight into the Thames River.

Two big men, one black and one white, stood quietly on the bank of the river. The man who was whiter than a woman opened his hands towards the river that had swallowed countless lives.

In the original scriptures, this person has the legendary bonus of appearing after death, and was even enshrined in the Dragon Palace by his soul. Therefore, the Brothers Grimm gave him the power of an original phantom—a necromancer who can drive evil spirits in the water.

And that big black man also threw the corpses of the magicians killed in the Magic Association into the water.

There were some half-dead people who hadn't completely breathed out, but the big black man showed a bloodthirsty smile, took out an ax and brutally killed them, as if he could get satisfaction from it.

Driven by the big man Bai, countless dead souls gathered together, including many magician souls with a lot of magical power.

Some of these gathered and refined magic power turned into a part of the magic mist, and some flowed in the direction of the master, relying on the evil magic formula found by Maqili Zorgen in the forbidden seal of the Magic Association, it was transformed into the final The weapon of decisive battle.

All of this was accompanied by the melodious flute sound of the man in flower clothes, which seemed extremely strange.

In the magic mist not far away, a flaxen-haired uncle barely witnessed all this with the brilliance of magic power constantly flickering, and he sighed: "Although the meaning of our appearance in the Holy Grail War is to watch Those wonderful stories, but isn't this story too sad!"

The sound of the flute became louder and louder. The uncle Caster couldn't resist, so he could only leave the scene of the tragedy silently.

At this time, Shirou and his party were marching towards the Thames at full speed.

"Hornheim, quickly use your licking finger to give some hints!"

Shirou urged Dad Dou while he was on his way.

If you can know the real name and appearance of the phantom servant by licking your fingers, maybe you can use the death note to curse directly.

"Already licking!"

Daddy Dou also looked anxious.

He had seen the tragedy on the banks of the Thames, but licked his fingers for wit and vague prophecies, not scripts and spoilers.

He still couldn't grasp the real names of the three big men.

It's just that Shirou guessed the identities of these three people based on the description of their appearance and Yanqing who was summoned by Baal at the Shinjuku singularity.

"Are they all followers of the Liangshan line? And they are all the type to fight head-on, and they may have anti-magic power!"

Shirou gritted his teeth.

However, the piper in floral clothes reminded Shirou of a story in the Grimm's fairy tales, but he couldn't remember the details for a while.

Just when he was about to seek help from the knowledgeable doctor and Matthew, a writer appeared in front of him.

He said in an overly emotional tone like a drama actor: "Except for those demons, you are the last batch of living people with magical reactions I met in this city! Can you please be the story Where is the savior in the world?"

Mordred's body froze, and he turned around and was about to go around him and move on: "You are looking for the wrong person!"

However, Shirou recognized his identity and noticed the key information from his words, so he grabbed the other party and shouted: "Shakespeare! Where is the devil you are talking about? Also, have you heard of the Pied Piper of Hamelin?" story?"

166. The Pied Piper of Hamelin

Perhaps because of the atmosphere of the story in this singularity, as early as a few days ago, the servant Shakespeare had already appeared in the magic fog, and with his character of being willing to make trouble, he heard about it in the streets and alleys of Westminster District. told a story.

When the whole of London was shrouded in magic fog, a man in colorful clothes walked around the house and shouted: "I can dispel the magic fog in this area, and I only need to pay a small price!"

Under his relentless appeal, many citizens agreed to his request, even using telegrams, balloons and other communication methods to initiate extensive joint activities.

Witnessed by Shakespeare, after obtaining the consent of the people, the Man in Pied Clothes took out an iron flute and played a magical movement. As a result, the magic fog in the Westminster area dissipated without a trace.

Just when Shakespeare thought: The Pied Man is a hero worthy of praise, and the incident will end here, and he is even ready to leave to witness other stories elsewhere.

But when people rushed to the streets, they asked the man in the flower dress, "So, what is the price?"

The other party just smiled silently: "Everything!"

The amount requested by the Pied Man is the entire property of all rescued people in the area.

The expressions of ecstasy that people had just prepared to celebrate froze—although some people might shout a few slogans: "Give me liberty or give me death."

But for the vast majority of people, it is better not to be able to go out for a lifetime than to lose all their property.

Not to mention that it is the era of brutal expansion of capitalism, and the value and status of money is irreplaceable.

"Are you crazy? We can't give you so much!"

The townspeople scolded him.

The flowered man then changed the chips: "Then how about handing over your child to me?"

As a result, everyone thought he was a lunatic even more, and wanted to drive him away with fists and kicks.

People broke their promises, so the man in floral clothes gave a strange smile and started playing his iron flute again.

However, what this time brought was not the gospel like the dissipation of the magic fog, but the horn that made all those who broke their promises lose their sanity and march towards the river of death.

This is the whole story that Shakespeare saw, and it also reminded Shirou of another classic chapter in "The Grimm's Fairy Tales".

The story is called "The Pied Piper of Hamelin":

A long time ago, there was a small town called Hamelin where a lot of mice suddenly appeared.The people in the town were helpless and even planned to abandon the city and flee.

At this time, a Pied Piper appeared.

Dressed in eccentric colors and with a flute around his waist, he claimed to get rid of rats for a fee.The residents of the small town said that as long as they can drive away the rats, they can pay him fifty times as much.

So the man in flowered clothes played a melody, and when the flute sounded, all the mice rushed out.While he was playing the flute, he walked out of the city, and the mice followed him in a long line. When they reached the river, they jumped into the river one after another, and all of them drowned.

The piper went back to receive his reward.But the mayor and the people repented. They thought he was just playing the flute and didn't spend much effort, so they refused to pay the reward.

The piper smiled and left without saying a word.

That night, he began to play that wonderful melody again.This time, the children in every household, just like those mice, all got up from the bed, danced, and ran to the piper, no matter how their parents called and stopped them, they never turned back.

Except for a lame child on crutches, he couldn't keep up with the pace of other children and the piper no matter how he ran, so he could only cry loudly into the distance in the moonlight.

In this way, except for the crippled child, all the children in the small town of Hamulin followed the piper, going farther and farther, and finally all disappeared and never came back.

"The Pied Piper of Hamulin" is generally interpreted as a story about the town residents who did not keep their integrity and were taken away by the Pied Piper as a punishment story, admonishing people to keep their promises, or they will be punished.

If we dig deeper with the background of the times, the piper can be seen as the embodiment of the plague that killed one-third of Europeans in the Middle Ages.

Generally, in movies, human beings give up on the elderly first in the face of disasters, and give priority to protecting children.

But often in real catastrophes, the death rate of children is the highest.

In other words, European children in the Middle Ages were always miserable, especially when they were tortured by Christianity.

There is a guess that the citizens of Hamulim fabricated this legend to cover up the pilgrimage activities of the children they sent to participate in the Children's Crusade. According to history, these children naturally ended up extremely tragic, and they were not trafficked on the way It's freezing and starving to death.

So in order to cover up their crimes and avoid being condemned by the king or the church, the citizens made up such a shocking story about the Piper.

In fact, the reason why "The Grimm's Fairy Tales" is so bloody is because of the persuasion of children in that era to beware of all kinds of dangers.

In this sense, Little Jack in the Moon World, relying on his own concept of abandonment and resentment aggregation, is very consistent with the compatibility of "Grimm's Fairy Tales".

"This story is very interesting!"

Shakespeare sighed with his professional instinct.

"Is now the time to say this? Remember, in this singularity, the potency of the story is enhanced!"

Shirou glared at him and reminded everyone.

The servant who merged with the phantom of the Piper, in order to give full play to the power of the legend of the Piper, made an agreement with the citizens with great effort, and even proposed another conditional chip, in order to attract more people. Pull into the water.

This has to make Shirou think of the sacrifice of Sajo Aiga to the Great Holy Grail in "The Fragment of Cangyin".

According to the original plot, the powerful servants finally summoned by the Holy Grail in this singularity are Tesla and Bai Qiandai. If they meet them, Shirou will naturally be fearless.

But in the last singularity, the Jie faction has already created human evil, and Baal, the head of the demon god pillar, is plotting so painstakingly in the production and sacrifice of phantom spirits?

Harmulin representing the plague, the magic fog capable of causing famine, and the Liangshan magic stars representing war and death, these clues have been strung together in Shirou's mind...

He suddenly had a vigilance, realizing that he must stop the Piper's sacrifice.

"Find money! Find money immediately! Jekyll, you are a local, take me to the nearest bank! If you can't find it, let Hohenheim lick your fingers!"

He ran at an accelerated pace in the streets of London.

……

On the banks of the Thames in the distance, as resentful souls continued to gather in the water, a huge mechanical shell surged up from the muddy river.

That was Angelberda summoned here by Maqili Zorgen using the space transfer technology. It is not only the reason for the comeback of the magic fog in the Westminster area, but also the host of the Holy Grail.

The resentful souls began to gather towards the Holy Grail, brewing the breath of doomsday calamity...

167. The Terminator of Liangshan

Baal, the Brothers Grimm, and Machry Zorgen all appeared on the banks of the Thames in turn, quietly watching the Holy Grail that was absorbing the resentment.

Since the establishment of the Magic Association, the seal has designated countless magicians whose research tends to be too dangerous.

Due to the nature and original sin of magicians, even if their research is enough to pose a threat to the world, some people are not willing to let these crystallizations of wisdom dissipate in the world.

These recorded studies are now in the hands of Maqili Zorgen.

With his astonishing talent, he sorted out and practiced them, including the necromancer phantom fused with Bai Dahan, Langli Baitiao and Zhang Shun.

According to legend, the powerful and evil necromancer was able to enhance his magical powers by sacrificing the souls of ordinary people.

In the original scriptures, Zhang Shun, who has the legend of controlling the river and manifesting his holiness after death, is like the sweatshop of this era, turning the river into a magical place for the transformation of flesh and blood and resentful souls.

The Brothers Grimm still didn't stop writing, and Maqili Zorgen also used the magic power flowing into the Holy Grail to summon several Liangshan followers in turn.

Some of this group of followers are holding snake spears, and they are full of wind and frost;

Some wield spiked maces, exuding a completely different aura of flames;
