Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

The Boggart stared at the refugees in front of him.

Covered in dust and dirt, they were a burden in the eyes of the goblins in other cities, but in the eyes of Boggart at this moment, they were his last treasure!

"I'm going to Norwich!"

Boggart suddenly spoke up, roaring at the top of his lungs.

"I'm going to save my hometown! Save Norwich, which has fallen into a great disaster and is likely to be destroyed because of the cowardly queen's indifference! Those who hate me should get out now, and the rest of you should follow me!"

Jiang Li shrugged with a subtle expression.

This guy finally listened to others after suffering a loss, but why is he so arrogant and rebellious even when expressing his own ideals?

The refugees looked at each other, some left, and some stayed.

"You won't go with me, will you?"

Boggart had his back to the group, but the sound reached their ears.

"Here's a suggestion for you—if you're looking for a human-led rebel army, go to Londinium! There lives the Boundary Keeper of the Human Realm, Percival of White Light!"

After Bogut finished speaking, he left with his team of less than a hundred people.

"Percival of white light, could it be Mr. Percival, the heroic spirit of pan-human history and the second Knight of the Round Table?"

Mashu became very excited, with a look of longing on her face.

"What's next?"

Grimm looked at them with interest.

"Since I'm already here, I'll stay with you until you no longer need me!"

"Let's follow Mash!"

Habertlot acted very unassumingly.

"Londinian... I have to go there sooner or later."

Jiang Li pondered and nodded.

"But the most urgent task is to gather the power of pan-human history in one place as much as possible. Therefore, the next destination is undeniable: to reunite with Chaldea!"

"Let's go to the southernmost city in Britain—Salisbury of the Wind Clan!"

"Yes!"

Mashu responded immediately after hearing this. Having regained her memory, she was very worried about the safety of her senior.

Grimm and Habertlot looked at each other, smiled and nodded.

Chapter 961 Savior 'Ash'

2023-06-01

"Kacha!"

Jiang Li pressed the shutter, capturing everything in Britain, from the beautiful sky to the roadside scenery.

Only after he had taken enough pictures did he throw the camera into a crack that appeared from the sky.

"Oh? Could it be an imaginary number spell?"

Grimm came over with interest and looked at the space crack.

At this moment, the four of them were riding in a carriage made with horses that Grimm had found using druid techniques. The crack automatically followed Jiang Li, always keeping a distance that could be reached by hand.

"Yes, haven't you seen it?"

"This is the first time I've seen this spiritual base. Think about it, imaginary numbers are a concept that only emerged in modern times. Imaginary number magic is essentially modern magic, and it has nothing to do with a magician like me from the Age of Gods!"

The so-called magic in the Type-Moon world refers to the ability to manipulate concepts and cause strange phenomena.

Concepts are something that was born from the development of human civilization, so magic basically advances with the times, or in other words, retreats with the times.

Take celestial magic as an example. In ancient times when mysteries still existed, that kind of magic was believed to be able to draw on the power of the stars and cause a bunch of meteorites to fall down in minutes. But now that the secrets of the universe and the starry sky are gradually being revealed, it has become an ordinary magic that can only be used for astrology.

The same is true for imaginary number magic. Before the concept of imaginary numbers was born, imaginary number magic did not exist. It was not until this concept was born that magicians began to study how to manipulate this concept, which led to the formation of imaginary number magic.

Of course, there are also some powerful guys who can use abilities similar to imaginary numbers across time.

In this world of the Lostbelt, because the concepts are so different from those of pan-human history, some ordinary magic becomes extremely powerful, while some magic becomes unusable.

"Being able to perform imaginary magic in this British Lostbelt where the concept of imaginary numbers doesn't even exist, this must be the work of the Human King, right?"

Grimm showed an expression of amazement and praised the Human King with all his might.

Only the Human King could use the concept of crossing the Lostbelt to create a magic seal.

"Yes, I asked him to help me make an imaginary number pocket and some other spells."

Jiang Li touched his shoulder, on which was engraved the magic seal adjusted by Goetia.

The magic formula that Yuzu helped to create seemed to have been deleted because it was too inefficient, and was replaced by several very convenient new magic tricks, and the operation was fool-proof. He was truly worthy of being the man who once was the King of Magic.

"I originally put some cars, machine guns, and other gadgets in my imaginary pockets, but after coming to this Lostbelt, I found that those things are completely useless, probably because the rules are different."

Jiang Li pointed inside the imaginary pocket and vaguely saw an off-road vehicle, as well as motorcycles, machine guns and other things.

In this British Lostbelt, large technological works will crash as soon as they are taken out, and at most only small gadgets like cameras can be used normally.

Grimm didn't take it seriously at first, but then his eyes suddenly fixed.

"that is?"

His astonished eyes fell on an iron bucket filled with scarlet liquid, which seemed to have a seal on the surface.

More importantly, he felt an extraordinary spirituality from the scarlet liquid!

Jiang Li waved his hand to close the imaginary number pocket. Grimm curled his lips and wanted to ask more questions, but thinking that the relationship between the two was not very good, he decided not to say anything more.

"What is Mash looking at?"

In the back seat of the carriage, Habertlot asked Mashu, who was staring blankly into the distance, in confusion.

"I'm looking at the Imagination Tree."

Mashu looked towards the northern border and answered truthfully.

The carriage was heading south. Mashu, who was sitting in the carriage, could see the giant pure white tree in the north that seemed to be located at the end of the world!

The roots alone are probably several hundred meters high. If they were to stand upright, they might even touch the zenith of the earth.

Unfortunately, the giant tree had already withered, just like a giant seedling that had lost its nutrition, lost its healthy color, and had long since died!

Not only that, you can see many scorch marks on it, as if it had been through a forest fire and then been extinguished.

Even from dozens of kilometers away, you can see it clearly.

"You mean the World Tree? So it's called the Imagination Tree over there?"

Habertlot suddenly realized something and looked at the withered and burnt giant tree, his expression filled with deep emotion.

"That tree used to be magnificent, its branches reaching as far as the clouds. It stood tall on the earth for thousands of years, until about two thousand years ago, when it gradually withered away... And then a few months ago, it suddenly caught fire again. I really don't understand what happened."

"Withered away more than two thousand years ago?"

Mashu looked at Habertlot in astonishment, his expression becoming confused and uneasy.

"This is strange. The Imagination Tree is the lifeblood of the Lostbelt. The withering of the Imagination Tree should have marked the end of the Lostbelt, but this Lostbelt has continued for over two thousand years after the withering of the Imagination Tree... What's going on? Could something have replaced the Imagination Tree and continued to support the Lostbelt's existence?"

Jiang Li turned his head, looking thoughtful.

He also remembered that there seemed to be such a setting?

"How did that fantasy tree wither?"

"Well..."

Faced with Jiang Li's question, Habertlot hesitated.

"It withered after the savior, Ash, sucked away all its magic power."

At this moment, Grimm, who was driving in front, suddenly spoke.

"There's nothing to hide, Tetrot. As long as they continue investigating, they'll eventually figure out what happened in the past. Now they're just bringing the process forward."

“…Perhaps you are right.”

Habertlot frowned irritably, and after a long while he sighed as if giving up.

"I've been wanting to ask this before. Why does Mr. Grimm call Miss Habertlotte 'Teterlotte'? Also, why are Mr. Grimm and Miss Habertlotte so familiar with each other?"

Mashu blinked, and suddenly thought of a doubt that had been lurking in her heart.

"Of course I'm familiar with you, because we've known each other for over four thousand years!"

Grimm loosened the reins, letting the horses run freely, then he came into the carriage and sat next to Jiang Li.

"More than four thousand years ago?!"

Jiang Li and Mashu were both shocked.

"That's right, but I wasn't like this back then, and Tetrot was still using the name Tetrot. The same thing is—we were both partners of the savior Ash!"

Grimm laughed frankly.

"The savior 'Ash'... you've mentioned this name many times. Who is it?"

Jiang Li asked the question in confusion. He had been in the fairy country for more than ten days and had never heard of this name.

Chapter 962: Mr. Wang, the Irresponsible Person

2023-06-01

By the way, if it is such a grand and majestic identity as the savior, it is normal to record it directly in history. Why have we never heard of it, and even the people who are discussing it have never seen it?

Mashu also pricked up her ears, with an expression that said, "I want to know too."

"Is this true? Aren't you the messenger of the Human King? How come you don't even know about this?"

Grimm stared at Jiang Li with suspicion, almost asking him whether he was sent by the Human King.

"He didn't tell me anything and just asked me to come here alone to investigate. What can I do? I'm so desperate!"

Jiang Li's eyes twitched as he tried his best to complain about the unreliable Lord Human King.

The time goes back to more than ten days ago.

At that time, Jiang Li was still in the singularity that Goetia had specially created to screen out UO. The school had exploded, and no one knew where Qingzi and Nero had gone. Fortunately, he had the naive princess by his side, and he had a rare period of peace.

Then Goetia suddenly came to the door.

"There's a problem in the British Lostbelt. Go and deal with it."

It was very sudden.

Jiang Li stopped the furious Elquet and asked Goetia the reason in detail.

"Besides you, there are no other suitable humans to be sent to this singularity. If the problem of the British Lostbelt is not resolved, this planet will be doomed."

After he said that, Jiang Li had no choice but to agree.

Is the planet going to be destroyed? We can't just sit back and watch!

But he was never one to suffer a loss, so he asked for compensation on the spot.

The new magic seals, including the imaginary pocket, are just a deposit for the reward. When Jiang Li solves the problems here and returns, Goetia will give him more rewards.

Then he sent Jiang Li to this place with strange stories, patted his butt and left on the spot!

No information, no hints!

It's as if "the earth is going to end" is just a joke. If you really care about the survival of the earth, at least tell me the detailed reasons so that I can avoid taking detours!

In desperation, Jiang Li thought of capturing the leader first. After figuring out the general situation of the lossbelt, he ran straight to Camelot and broke into the Queen's castle.

There is no need to introduce what happened afterwards.

"The human king..."
