"There is such a... country in the world."
Jeanne was the first to break the silence. From her clenched hands, it can be seen that she was in a very uneasy mood at this moment.
"After all, it is a world where one person can defeat ten thousand troops." Shen He lowered his eyes. "In most cases, there are more people who yearn for peace, but the extreme imbalance of power sometimes does lead to this situation."
"When are we leaving, Master." Jeanne's fist loosened, and her eyes were completely different from the usual gentleness. "If it is simply unable to protect the people, there is still a possibility of being forgiven, but even the Lord will not forgive a country that harms its own people."
"We can only go for three hours a day." Shen He looked at his watch. "It's already six o'clock in the evening. We will leave at about nine o'clock. In this way, we can stay for up to six hours including tomorrow's share. Everyone, take advantage of this time to prepare." The
remaining time extension cards of the previous Magic Index event have all been exchanged for summoning stones.
Originally, that thing was limited to the event period.
"Wait a minute, Master, Master."
When Shen He was about to leave, Misaka Mikoto suddenly shouted.
"I want to go too." She took a deep breath and explained before Shen He spoke, "Even if I don't kill people, fighting is always okay. After knowing that it is such a world, how can I stay out of it completely?"
"..."
Shen He hesitated for a moment and turned his attention to Jeanne.
"Then let her go, Master." Jeanne stretched out her hand and put it on Misaka Mikoto's shoulder, "But if I find out that you are holding on, you must be prepared to be 'punished'."
"..." Misaka Mikoto shuddered for some reason and nodded repeatedly. The
reason why she insisted on going, in addition to not wanting to be left behind by everyone, the more important reason was that after she heard about the situation in that world, she wanted to help those people.
Just like she was helped by Shen He and others.
Shen He saw Jeanne said so, and did not object. The reason why he didn't want Misaka Mikoto to go was that he didn't want her hands to be stained with blood. If she just went to see it, she wouldn't be a drag.
Now almost all combat-type servants are over level 30.
While asking the servants to prepare, Shen He also called Tony and told him that he would be there soon.
Tony had moved his laboratory completely to the sky garden and built a luxurious villa above the laboratory. He practiced and studied magic every day and lived a fulfilling life.
When Shen He arrived, he had already walked out of the laboratory and walked to the sofa with two cups of coffee.
"It's rare that you would come to me for something." Tony took a sip of coffee himself, "Another trouble?"
"It's a good thing." Shen He had an ambiguous smile on his lips, and he looked at Tony as if he was looking at a little white mouse.
"The good things you talk about are sometimes troubles." Tony felt uncomfortable when he was looked at by Shen He, "Tell me, what is it?"
"Do you still remember what I said that if external personnel want to join Chaldea, they need a series of strict reviews, even if they are just assistants?" Shen He asked.
"Oh, of course I remember. I gave up joining Chaldea a long time ago. You are the force that least values scientists that I have ever seen." Tony said, and suddenly reacted, staring at Shen He with wide eyes, "Could it be..."
"Yes." Shen He smiled and nodded, "There is a rare opportunity right now. You have to thank me. I spent a lot of effort to get you a place."
"Can I really join Chaldea?"
Tony was excited all of a sudden, and even felt a little...surprised.
If someone had told him before that he would be so looking forward to joining an organization, he would have thought that person was crazy.
But that's the fact.
Chaldea has proved its magic and power more than once. It can send people to the multiverse, observe the future, and have all kinds of magical and unparalleled props.
If magic represents the unknown that is not available to ordinary people, then Chaldea represents an extremely broad stage.
It has a strange attraction for scientists like Tony who have a heart of exploration and heroes who have a heart of protection.
"It's not that you can join Chaldea." Shen He poured cold water on him first, "Your physique determines that you can't become a master, but if you said that your hope of joining Chaldea was zero before, now there is at least one. You have to know that traveling through the universe is not comparable to going from here to Asgard."
"Okay, okay, you told me all this a long time ago." Tony ignored all this and asked impatiently, "What opportunity did you just mention?"
"There is a human civilization in the universe that is in crisis." Shen He sighed mysteriously, "Its guardian has some problems and decided to entrust this world to me."
"Can it be like this?" Tony opened his eyes wide.
Even things like saving the world can be passed around. Do the saviors regard this as a job task?
Well, it seems to be a job task.
"Under normal circumstances, it really can't be like this." Shen He nodded, "But the situation is special now, so I took the opportunity to ask for an extra 'extra quota' so that I can bring someone who does not belong to the Chaldea system with me."
"Great!"
Tony already understood what Shen He meant, and he couldn't help cheering.
This is going to another universe.
Not another alien planet, nor another alien civilization, but the universe.
As a scientist, he can certainly understand the gap between the two, just like the first time humans set foot on the moon. Even though it is extremely desolate, the significance it represents is extraordinary.
Not to mention, the beginning of "extra-staff" means that he will really start to get in touch with the core areas of Chaldea.
"Tony, we are not going there for fun." Shen He looked at him helplessly.
"I know, I mean, thank you very much, He." Tony's face was still filled with excitement, and he even gave Shen He a bear hug, "You won't regret this decision, you can only take me with you, I am good at saving the world, so, when do we leave?"
"In two and a half hours." Shen He looked at his watch.
"So soon?" Tony was shocked.
"I told you it's an emergency." Shen He rolled his eyes, "and because of the repulsiveness of the universe, we can only stay there for three hours a day, and we have to come back after three hours, but you'd better bring enough weapons."
"Okay, I'll go get ready."
Tony seemed to get into the state all of a sudden, stood up and hurried to his laboratory.
Weapons, energy, backup of the Jarvis subroutine, and leaving a video communication for Pepper. Although he didn't think he would die in the alien universe, he always had to be prepared for the worst.
Shen He sat on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and frowned slightly.
Tony didn't even put sugar in it.
At this time, there was a cooing sound outside the window, and a pigeon was pecking at the glass.
Shen He walked over and opened the window, and the pigeon flew into his hand.
"During the time we have been here, this place is in your hands." Shen He's fingers gently traced the fluff on the pigeon's head. "The summoning channel will be maintained. If there is any special situation that cannot be solved, contact me. We will be back at around three in the morning at the latest."
After saying this, he flicked the pigeon lightly, and it fluttered its wings away from the palm of his hand.
He walked through the garden and came to the side of the empress on the throne.
According to legend, Semiramis was raised by pigeons, so she could use pigeons as her familiars. There was no need for a contract, just to send her thoughts.
At this moment, listening to the cooing of the pigeons, Semiramis still had a blank expression on her face, but she couldn't help but sigh.
Her treasure, the vain sky garden, although it can make her have terrifying magic in the garden, will also make her weak after leaving the garden, so she can't help Shen He in any copy world.
This is a pity for the empress.
After all, her wish as a heroic spirit is to hope to realize the expectations of the master.
Two and a half hours, fleeting.
Tony put on the armor and walked to Shen He with a huge box in his hand.
"He, you have a dimensional space for storing things, right? Can you help me carry these things?"
"No problem."
Shen He didn't ask what was in it. With a wave of his hand, the box was put into the system backpack.
Although the space in the system backpack is not endless, it can be considered very large.
Then Shen He took out another card and handed it over.
"Take it with your palm. This is your pass."
"Pass?"
Tony took off the armor on his hand and took it. He subconsciously wanted to let Jarvis scan it, but in an instant, the card turned into a golden light and drilled into his body, and something suddenly appeared in his mind.
The temporary servant contract card does not instill basic information about the system or modern society. It only has a simple permission description.
Shen He can make an irresistible summon to him and can have an absolute command that is updated once a day and accumulated up to three times.
"He, this is simply a robber contract." Tony couldn't help but mutter.
As a billionaire who usually instructs others, an absolute command that can be given without considering his personal will is indeed a challenge to his bottom line.
"I have only used it once so far." Shen He's expression was calm. "The greater role of this thing is to determine my dominant position. Saving the world is not something that a group of loose heroes can do on their own. So, Tony, you can give your opinions after entering the world, but once I decide on the method, you have to obey - even my wife Jeanne is the same in this regard."
Shen He did not forget that Tony was not an honest person at all.
It is better to say that most heroes in the Marvel world are like this. Almost everyone has their own ideas.
Even in the final battle with Thanos, it was Star-Lord who completely destroyed the victory.
"Okay... follow your rules." Tony expressed his acceptance of Shen He's warning.
"Then-"
Shen He paused, and one servant after another appeared beside him.
"--Let's go!"
Clicking on the newly appeared copy world, accompanied by the familiar dizziness, everyone came to the moonlight in an instant.
This is a bare red rock located in the woods.
All servants watched the surroundings vigilantly.
Normally, the first transfer will go directly to the place where the incident occurred.
Then -
"Ugh!"
The sudden vomiting sound made everyone focus on Tony. He was lying on the ground, with his mask off, vomiting heartbreakingly. It
was not until Jeanne cast a healing magic that he gradually felt better.
"I feel like I'm tied to a roller coaster and made a hundred 360-degree spins."
Tony himself felt a little embarrassed, but this teleportation process is indeed not very pleasant for ordinary people.
Even though he has begun to practice magic, his physique is still that of an ordinary person, or in other words, the original magic system of Ancient One did not pay much attention to the physical body.
Shen He ignored Tony.
He raised his hand, and Violet, equipped with the IS armor, rushed directly into the sky, but in just ten seconds, she landed back to Shen He's side.
"Master, there is a big city about 30 kilometers away at 7 o'clock. A lot of fire can be seen 10 kilometers away, and it is moving."
"Is there anyone there..." Shen He thought for a while and quickly made a decision, "Hubby and Violet go over from the air, investigate and report, and we will follow from the ground."
Because of the word "special", judging from the situation of the previous Magic Index copy, this world must have undergone some changes, and the advantage of predicting the future plot is probably gone.
The two people who received the order rushed into the sky.
Hubby was familiar with the military system in the war, and Violet was also familiar with the battlefield. The two little people were undoubtedly trustworthy in this regard.
Everyone jumped into the woods.
Shen He glanced at Tony, who was following closely behind him. He couldn't see his expression through the armor, but he could probably guess what he was doing.
It was nothing more than recording data and analyzing parameters. The huge moon in the sky alone was enough to prove that this was a different world.
"Master." Hubie's somewhat weak voice appeared in Shen He's mind, "There is a battle ahead, and it is a line of troops chasing three people."
"Yeah." Shen He responded, "I can hear the sound too."
The few people fleeing in front were also moving in their direction, and the speed was not slow. The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly.
"He, the three people in front, a man and two women... One of them has a great figure."
Tony also flew to Shen He at this moment and reminded him quietly. His armor scanned the infrared heat of the three people, and even built a figure model.
"Be prepared for the battle." Shen He opened his mouth and ordered, "But don't kill them first."
In this world, what would a person who was being chased by a large army suddenly do when he encountered someone in front? Of course, he would not first identify whether it was an enemy or a friend, but break out with weapons.
So at the moment of contact -
镟!
The sharp sound of metal collision and the flying sparks scattered.
The same long sword, the same black hair, the same exquisite face, without any communication, one of the three girls and Ryougi Shiki came into close combat.
Shen He only took a glance and knew who these three people were.
Akahima, Leona, and Lubbock.
The long sword in Ryougi Shiki's hand was a replica of the imperial weapon "One Cut Kill·Murasame" in Akahima's hand.
"Leona." Although Akahima had no expression on her face, her eyes had already emerged with determination, "We will cover the rear and help Lubbock break through."
"Hey!" The tiger fists of the ** girl named Leona collided, shaking up a fist wave, "It's not bad to die with a close friend."
In their three-person team, only Lubbock's imperial weapon "Thousand Changes·Cross Tail" can set traps and is suitable for escape.
In Akahima's view, this is just the most hopeful choice.
As for the apology in her heart, it turned into an increasingly fierce swing of the sword in her hand.
Ryougi Shiki, who hadn't activated her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, was in danger in an instant.
But the other Servants had already joined the battlefield.
