"This is the Holy City...?"
Looking at the city in front of him, Mashu fell into a trance.
"..."
Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the prosperous city with the same surprise.
"So... so big...!"
Everyone in Chaldea also saw the scene in front of them, and they were all speechless.
"Fu!"
Even Fufu seemed to be shocked and screamed for joy.
What appeared in front of a group of people was such a shocking city.
It was an extremely holy city.
The city walls are pure white.
The whole thing is pure white that makes people feel like their hearts are being purified.
It's huge.
It is sacrosanct.
It's like a castle that only existed in myth has been moved into reality, like the buildings in the fairy kingdom appearing on the ground, it looks so majestic and vast.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
In front of this white castle, the two giant wolves lowered their proud heads as if they were ashamed of themselves.
Under their guidance, it took nearly two hours for Luo Zhen and Ma Xiu to arrive here and arrive in front of the Holy Capital.
The holy city in front of us was the place that used to be called Jerusalem.
only...
"It's not Jerusalem anymore, is it?"
Luo Zhen murmured like this.
No matter how you look at the city in front of you, it doesn't look like Jerusalem.
Although Jerusalem is also known as the Holy Land, Holy City, and Holy Capital, it definitely does not have this sense of purity and holiness.
Luo Zhen must admit it.
"Jerusalem probably really disappeared from the face of the earth."
The Ninth Crusade took away the holy city and left it in ruins.
In this ruins, someone rebuilt the Holy Capital and built such a fortress.
"Did the neutral servants do it?"
Luo Zhen was thoughtful.
At this time, a voice came from Chaldea's communicator.
"Look at the front door!"
Roman said in a panic.
Luo Zhen immediately followed the sound and looked at the main entrance of the Holy Capital.
"That is... "
Seeing this, Luo Zhen was stunned.
Because, in front of the main entrance of the Holy City, there are countless tents.
Around the tent, people wearing ancient Greek and ancient Indian-style clothes were walking around.
Yes.
In front of the Holy City, there is a human settlement.
"There are actually so many people?"
Olga Marie stood up in astonishment.
"Refugees seeking asylum?"
Da Vinci saw through the identities of those people at once.
"refugee?"
Luo Zhen couldn't help but be surprised.
Considering the huge crater-like craters outside, and the light that fell from the sky and engulfed the village, the outside was indeed no longer suitable for living, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
These people should be the aboriginal people in the Middle East. Due to environmental changes and too dangerous living conditions, they have now come to the Holy City to seek asylum.
However, it seems that the Holy City does not intend to accept them.
Luo Zhen observed for a while and found that the entire Holy Capital was surrounded by white walls. Only the main gate could pass through, but that gate was now tightly closed and no one could pass through.
However, around them, there are knights wearing full body armor, holding swords, shields, spears or halberds, and even long axes patrolling, and some standing guard, seemingly guarding the surrounding refugees. look like.
But...
"Those knights..."
Luo Zhen stared at the knights for a while, and then finally discovered something unusual.
Chaldea seemed to have discovered something, and there was a sound.
"It seems you have discovered those knights."
Da Vinci said this.
"Are those knights humans? How could they feed back such a high magic response?"
Roman was shocked.
That's right.
The knights guarding the refugees actually had strong magical reactions coming from them.
The reaction of that magical power is no longer like what humans can possess, but is more similar to existences such as beasts and elves.
"Could it be... are those knights all servants...!?"
Olga Marie exclaimed.
"No, not followers." Luo Zhen said with certainty: "Their magic reaction is much weaker than that of followers. Although their properties are similar to those of followers, they are still much worse. It is estimated that they are somewhere between humans and followers. The unknown existence between.”
This reminded Luo Zhen of Asmodeus in the world of Air Combat Wizards.
Those monsters are artificial humanoid magic armored insects, and the properties of the knights in front of them are somewhat similar to them.
In other words...
"I'm afraid, that's a man-made Servant-like biological weapon."
Luo Zhen's sermon made the people of Chaldea lose their voices.
But Luo Zhen didn't care about the movement over there.
Looking at the knights standing guard and patrolling, Luo Zhen's eyes flickered.
Luo Zhen, who had systematically studied, familiarized and even mastered tactics and strategies, could easily see that there was something strange about the knights' guard positions and patrol routes.
That scene is not so much about guarding as it is about...
"Surrounded..."
Luo Zhen had such a feeling.
So Luo Zhen laughed.
"It seems that our previous guesses may have been wrong."
Although it was his first time here, Luo Zhen felt that he might have picked up a big fish.
The holy city in front of you is by no means as sacred and beautiful as it seems on the surface.
Luo Zhen decided immediately.
"Let's go over and take a look, Matthew."
Luo Zhen said this.
However, after a while, Luo Zhen received no response from Ma Xiu at all.
"Matthew?"
Luo Zhen turned his head and looked at Ma Xiu, and then he couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw Matthew looking blankly at the Holy City in front of him, and for some unknown reason, there was nostalgia and sadness in his eyes.
"Ma Xiu?" Luo Zhen said in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"
"Fu! Fufu!" Fufu also shouted, trying to wake up Mashu.
"Ah!" Ma Xiu finally reacted, came back to his senses, and responded quickly: "Yes... I'm sorry, senior, I didn't hear clearly just now..."
"It doesn't matter." Luo Zhen shook his head, but looked at Ma Xiu and said, "But, what happened to you just now?"
"I..." Matthew hesitated, a little confused and a little confused, "Actually, I don't know, I just feel that that fortress makes people feel nostalgic."
Matthew's tone was also full of confusion.
Obviously, she didn't know what happened to her just now.
But there was one thing that Matthew was sure of.
That is, when I woke up in the sterile room of Chaldea, the feeling that something seemed to be bursting out of my body became more and more intense.
Ma Xiu's intuition told him that there was something he was longing for in that pure white city.
No, it should be said that there is something in the body that is longing for.
So what exactly is it
Matthew didn't know.
But Ma Xiu had a vague feeling.
Perhaps, in this singularity, I will usher in a new destiny.
Causes and conditions that even I don’t know about.
Under such circumstances, Ma Xiu felt that her heartbeat was accelerating, her consciousness was heating up, and her body felt strange, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Luo Zhen took all of Ma Xiu's performance into consideration.
Then...
"... Let's go over first." Luo Zhen said: "Let's go over and take a look first before talking."
"Yes." Matthew nodded.
