Start with Type-Moon, but Magical Index Magician

"Some areas have been completely reduced to ruins. East London is almost completely destroyed. It's probably only a matter of time before this city is completely reduced to ruins. And all of this is because of that fog, that abnormally thick fog filled with extremely strong magical power. Let's call it the Magic Mist for now."

"It's somewhat similar to an event in the 20th century, but the time here isn't quite right yet. Could it be that something happened prematurely, creating a singularity?" Roman said through the communicator. "I also investigated what happened in the 20th century. I thought it only involved one city, but it turned out to be quite complex."

"It's not just the fog that's troubling. You've probably already encountered and battled it. Besides the fog, London is rife with other threats. Some are taking advantage of the fog to commit crimes. There are automatons created by magic, murderous androids, unidentified machines, and even a serial killer, whom the newspapers call Jack the Ripper!"

Jekyll said a lot, which stunned Mashu, and also allowed Morpheus, who was in the clock tower at the time, to hear a lot of useful things.

Chapter 171: Stupid Villain

Jekyll continued to explain the current situation, and Morpheus relied on his connection with Joan of Arc to hear everything the other party said.

"Well, that means London is now isolated and helpless. The fog has blocked it off, and we can't get out. That's right, after all, I'm not someone who can come and go as I please.

"And with the fog, someone deliberately killed people in such an extreme environment. It's not just Jack the Ripper. There must be other guys out there. For example, those puppets are obviously man-made, and they couldn't have been created by Jack the Ripper or something like that.

"Come to think of it, the only Servants we've encountered so far are Mordred and Jack the Ripper. Are there any other Servants in this era?

"But what surprised me was that London's government was still functioning. Although it was practically paralyzed, it was still able to perform some functions... However, being unable to go out and being blocked by fog really limited the government's effectiveness.

"Hmm... maybe it's better to say that the role of humans here is completely restricted. Unless they can avoid being affected by the fog, no one will be willing to go out.

"As for the current time, three days have passed since we were blocked by fog and unable to go out. If this continues, many people will probably face decisions about how to find food, whether to resort to cannibalism, etc.

"But this has nothing to do with me. Anyway, once the existence behind the scenes is resolved, history can return to normal, and these tragedies will naturally be erased."

Morpheus was thinking while continuing to flip through the books in the sea of ​​books. He was not in a hurry at all. Anyway, the main task was left to Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Black Jeanne, who had successfully built a summoning circle in Jekyll's house and formed an alliance with Jekyll and Mordred.

With the current strength of these three people, if they act together, they should not be in any danger as long as they don't encounter any heaven-defying existence.

While Fujimaru Ritsuka is constantly resolving this crisis and searching for the enemy, he can also read quietly until he completes his mission and returns.

"Ah, I have to say, this is a perfect trip. I can see so many magic-related books. It's really great!"

Morpheus continued to read the book happily, and even made himself a cup of fragrant milk. With the clay pot given by Hestia, his milk was unlimited, and he had the true freedom to drink milk.

……

"Frankenstein?" Mashu was full of doubts when she heard the commission from Jekyll. As a person who loved reading because she could only stay in Chaldea, there was also a person named Frankenstein in her mind.

"I know this. Isn't it the artificial man in the earliest science fiction novel?" Ritsuka Fujimaru asked in a low voice.

"Swiss scholar Victor Frankenstein is a friend of Jekyll's. We were originally collaborating on the magic fog, but we've lost contact with him since this morning. I'm not sure what's going on, but it was Jekyll who was in contact, after all. He said it was his intelligence network.

"He had helpers all over the city, and they were in constant contact with Jekyll by radio.

"At least until yesterday, Mr. Victor was safe and sound."

Mordred said.

Roman, who had been in contact with everyone, was also a little surprised.

"Victor Frankenstein, I thought he was a fictional character, but it turns out he's his descendant..."

Mash hesitated and said, "I'm not sure, but according to Mr. Jekyll, the magician who was the prototype of the character in that novel was the grandfather of this scholar."

Mashu said this and shook her head: "Reality is really strange. The scientists in the novels are actually based on magicians..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Because science and magic are supposed to be diametrically opposed technologies," Mash said. "Chaldea is an extreme example, after all. If you think about it that way, from a global and historical perspective..."

Roman interrupted: "However, there are always exceptions. In certain eras, science and magic are almost synonymous. For example, alchemy is the source of chemistry, and many scientists, chemists, and scholars are actually magicians.

"And don't forget, I don't see any conflict between Morpheus's magic and science..."

Black Jeanne d'Arc never interrupted the conversation between the few people. She didn't understand much anyway. The only thing she knew was the common sense that was given to her by the power of the root when she was summoned.

If she spoke, it was usually because Morpheus had something to say.

Black Jeanne spoke up: "Morpheus said that in some ways science is a kind of magic, or rather, science is magic. Magic and science are equal and there is no conflict. So there is no need to compare magic with your magic."

"He said that?!" Roman exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, that's what he said. I heard him say that modern Western magicians, in addition to learning magical knowledge, also need to learn about relativity and so on. Although I don't understand what he meant, it seems to be some scientific term."

Several people were stunned, especially Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka. After all, they both knew what the theory of relativity meant.

Black Jeanne continued, "Morpheus was still mumbling, saying... that someone he knew who was very powerful in magic had established the world's most powerful scientific force. He even created a scientific heaven based on this and gave birth to an angel of science..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes lit up, Mashu looked confused, and Mordred was already in a daze at this moment, not understanding what was being said at all.

As for Roman, Da Vinci, and Olga Marie on the other side of the communicator, they were all stunned.

Olga Marie had a dream and knew that Morpheus' past was spent in another magical world, where even things like magic that she knew did not exist, so she also knew that what he was talking about now belonged to that world.

But at this moment, what she heard still made her feel incredible.

"It created a heaven belonging to science, and then gave birth to angels belonging to science?!" Roman's face was full of shock at this time. This sentence undoubtedly meant that science had its own God, its own kingdom of God, and there were angels existing in the kingdom of God!

"This, doesn't this mean that God was created artificially, and a God that belongs to science?!" Roman couldn't understand. The rise of science and the retreat of God, all of these were actually related to each other. The mystery faded, the gods hid, and science developed. This was the history he knew.

But now Morpheus suddenly said that science can also create its own angels and its own heaven. This is simply incredible!

This is even more exaggerated and weird than what the other party just said about the modern Western magician who had to learn the theory of relativity!

Just when everyone wanted to hear what Morpheus was going to say, Black Jeanne said, "He stopped talking and said he wanted to continue reading. Let's get back to work..."

At this time, several people reacted, and Roman asked, "Where did Morpheus go?"

Olga Marie also immediately asked: "Yes, he suddenly said he had something to do and left. Where did he go?"

Mashu shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. Fujimaru Ritsuka shut his mouth. He always felt bad saying things like "he went to raid the Clock Tower" to someone like Olga Marie, who was full of the honor of a magician and a big family.

Black Jeanne shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Therefore, Olga Marie could only analyze the other party's words just now.

"Black Jeanne just said that Morpheus wanted to continue reading. Does that mean that Morpheus has gone to the London Library? After all, there are a lot of books there..."

Down below, Roman and Da Vinci exchanged a glance, and Da Vinci whispered, "Do you think Morpheus might have gone to the Clock Tower?"

Roman thought carefully for a moment and nodded. "I think the reading he's talking about might be in the sea of ​​books in the Clock Tower. Although he went to the singularity to save the world, he's still very happy to improve his knowledge in the process. This time the location is London, which is an opportunity for him to invade the Clock Tower!"

"Anyway, once the rescue mission is completed, the historical errors will be corrected. By then, the root of his invasion of the Clock Tower will no longer exist, but those memories will be preserved." Da Vinci said, giving a thumbs-up. "He's truly worthy of this man. I admire him more and more."

"I have a feeling that all the secrets kept in the Clock Tower before 1888, even the dark history that was hidden, will be dug out by Morpheus... I'm afraid the future of the Clock Tower will be very tragic. If they provoke Morpheus, maybe Morpheus will use this dark history to threaten them."

"Torturing someone with their past is much more cruel than hitting them directly."

……

Morpheus was reading a book with great interest when suddenly his attention was focused on Joan of Arc. A name that interested him appeared in ten thousand years.

"Mephisto? The devil?" Morpheus shared the vision of Joan of Arc with some surprise, wanting to see who on earth called himself Mephisto.

Then, he saw a guy who looked like a clown, with purple hair, a tight leather-like jacket, and a hat with a hug in front. The weirdest thing was that he was a brainless guy.

What this guy did after he came out was very simple. After meeting outside Frankenstein's house, before Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka brought him in for interrogation, this guy had already confessed everything.

"Yes, I killed Frankenstein. My name is Mephistopheles, and I am a demon. As for why I killed him, it was because he interfered with our plan."

The above paragraph was the information revealed by the other party in less than a minute after they met, without even Fujimaru Ritsuka asking.

Then he started talking nonsense again and was instantly sent back to the Throne of Heroes by the people present.

Looking at Mephistopheles like this, Morpheus sighed heavily and covered his face.

"So, what am I expecting? That great demon Mephisto who can fool people around? Forget it, this is Type-Moon's world, it's impossible..."

After Mashu and the others entered Dr. Frankenstein's residence, Morpheus once again confirmed one thing: this servant named Mephistopheles was indeed not very smart.

Because Dr. Frankenstein, who affected their plan, actually left behind information that was extremely fatal to them.

That was the doctor's last words, saying that the Magic Mist Project was led by three people, namely P, B, and M.

In addition, there was even a little girl who stayed behind, but this little girl could not speak much and seemed to not have much rationality.

The identity of this girl also made Morpheus sigh again.

"Wow, this is the Frankenstein from the novel, a girl, and a loli at that... This is worthy of being... the Type-Moon world!"

However, they did get some information, and after they returned to Jekyll's house, they began to speculate about what the three letters PBM stood for.

Morpheus also stopped reading at this time, thinking about the meaning of these three letters.

"PBM stands for three people, most likely distinguished by their names, such as their initials. Does M stand for Mephistopheles? Not really. If it really is Mephistopheles, that would be too foolish.

"Perhaps based on some historical figures I know, PBM is entirely possible to be a Servant that was summoned and then has a connection with London..."

While Morpheus was thinking, the people over there were not idle either. They actually found another collaborator of Jekyll, a little brat called Andersen.

After working with Andersen to solve another servant, everyone was sent by Jekyll to solve another problem.

Scotland Yard was attacked by Servant!

So, the group of people who rushed over met a mysterious man.

It was a man holding a flask, with long hair and quite thin. This man once again made Morpheus feel confused, or helpless.

Because this guy has almost the same brain as Mephistopheles.

The moment he appeared, before he was even interrogated, he had already revealed his secret.

"I am one of the leaders of the Magic Mist Project. You can call me Paracelsus, the P in the PBM trio!"

Looking at the images transmitted by Black Jeanne, Morpheus now began to wonder if he had overthought. Perhaps that brainless Mephistopheles was really the M in PBM?!

Why do these villains love to speak out about everything they're going to do?! Is there something wrong with their brains?!

Then, after saying these words, the guy said that he came to this place because Scotland Yard had important items, and then he started to speak incoherently again.

Faced with this guy who didn't speak human language, several people took action instantly. In just a few seconds, they sent this guy who called himself P back to the Throne of Heroes.

Chapter 172: Magic Book?

After getting rid of Paracelsus who called himself P, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others returned to Jekyll's house with Dr. Frankenstein's ancestral android Loli.

After examining Fran, the android, Jekyll offered his own analysis: "This child, Fran, is an android. Her body is not composed of a spirit, not a heroic spirit. She is a person living in this era, or rather, an android."

Then he stroked his chin again and said, "Is the novel's account wrong? No, I can't say that yet."

Then, he continued to touch Fran and conduct his own exploration. Jekyll showed great interest in an artificial human. It was not a man's interest in a woman, but pure curiosity about new things.

In response, Fran made a dissatisfied sound, but she couldn't speak, which made Jekyll confused.

Modred said at this time: "She seems to be dissatisfied with you touching her under the guise of investigation. Apologize quickly, Jekyll."

This accusation made Jekyll's expression change, and he said quickly: "Eh? Oh, I'm sorry! I actually did such a thing. This is not the behavior of an English gentleman!"

"...Woo." Fran continued to make strange sounds.

Looking at the puzzled Jekyll, Mash said, "'As long as you understand', that's probably what the pronunciation just now meant."

Mordred nodded: "Yes."

To this, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."

Jekyll was puzzled: "Why can you understand what she wants to say?" Then, he thought of a possibility, "Is it because we are of the same sex? Ah, no, nothing!"

At this time, Mordred said: "Don't do it again, or I will kill you."

Jekyll showed no sign of anger at the threat. "I see. Sorry, I won't say any more. By the way, my intelligence network has received other intelligence.

"Strange creatures have appeared in Soho and are said to be even invading homes and attacking residents."

When he said this, Jekyll's expression became serious.

Hearing that something would actually start attacking the people in the room, everyone couldn't help but become serious.

Roman also interrupted at this time: "It has been confirmed that the androids, automatons, and chaos robots have so far--"

Jekyll followed suit, saying, "According to my intelligence network and the swordsmen's patrols, the house should never have been invaded. The object that broke into the house and attacked the citizens seems to be a book about the size of a human body.

"I'll call it the Magic Book for now, and I hope you can deal with it. Although it's not clear whether it's related to the Magic Mist Project, victims have already appeared in Soho.

"I hope you can help. Are you willing to accept this task?"

At this time, just as the leader, Fujimaru Ritsuka, was about to speak, Black Jeanne spoke first.

"Morpheus said that this mission should be given to him, and we should continue to investigate other matters."

"He's going to take action?" Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little surprised. "I thought he planned to stay until the end of this mission."

This made Jekyll curious: "Is your companion very powerful? How many people does he have?"
