After the call ended, Aozaki Touko and Mordred, who was standing next to her, both breathed a sigh of relief and were finally able to relax completely.
Chapter 181 Arrival, Winter Wood of 2016!
Let's go back to Marx and Engels.
After hanging up the communication, he began to concentrate on driving the shuttle, navigating through the colorful tunnels according to the navigation of the Wanhua compass.
Behind them, in the cabin that wasn't too big or too small, Nero, the Lion King, and Gilgamesh sat in their respective seats, occasionally glancing out the window of the bridge to see what was happening outside.
However, there's not much to see outside; it's always the same colorful scenery, and once the novelty wears off, it starts to feel boring.
Nero was the first to bring up the topic.
"What kind of world do you think we'll encounter?"
The navigation filter of the Wanhua Compass can only narrow down the range of targets and list parallel worlds that meet the time conditions; it cannot pinpoint what is in that world.
Yes, parallel worlds also have time differences.
This 'time difference' is not a real time difference. Theoretically speaking, all parallel worlds originate from the same source, so their approximate time is the same.
The difference lies in the fact that the time at which each parallel world was separated varies, as does the speed of its development.
In some worlds, what has already happened may not have even begun in other parallel worlds, or may be happening in the process of happening.
This leads to a situation where, despite being parallel worlds, many things are quite different except for inevitable events.
For example, the most representative one is the parallel universe, which is the kind of world that Gilgamesh is in.
Therefore, this time travel has a large element of adventure; you can't know what you'll encounter until you get there.
Do you think we might encounter each other from your respective worlds?
As Nero said this, he suddenly became a little excited.
She especially wanted to see what the legends were like in the alternate dimension where her mother, Shan Shan, lived, such as whether Shan Shan had been recorded as a woman.
If even the legends passed down through generations are changed, that would be interesting; everything would become novel.
"I don't care, anything is fine," Prince Zi replied indifferently, showing no concern for these matters.
Niang Shanshan pursed her lips speechlessly: "Maybe, but I don't want to run into it, because that would be too boring."
Nero might be interested in the world she was born into, but she herself had no interest whatsoever.
It's probably the mentality of locals who don't visit local tourist attractions. They feel that there's nothing to see, it's all the same, and they're tired of seeing the same things.
"How is it boring? I think it's very interesting."
"That's just your opinion; I cannot agree with it."
Thus began a heated debate between the two.
Watching the Kinomoto sisters start arguing again, the Lion King was speechless. What was there to argue about?
At the same time, there were some doubts about whether it was right or wrong to let Niang Shanshan join in.
I felt that even if Mordred were here, it wouldn't be this noisy.
As soon as Gilgamesh joins in, he starts arguing with Nero, doubling the noise level.
Just as Nero and Gilgamesh were arguing louder and louder, Marne in front couldn't help but speak up to mediate: "Alright, stop arguing, we're almost there, sit down properly."
Upon hearing this, the two snorted softly, glared at each other, and then obediently shut their mouths.
This made the Lion King realize that it was because his mother, Gilgamesh, was more obedient than Mordred, and even when they argued, the two were more measured and wouldn't cause trouble for the team.
Moreover, this insignificant noise can actually be a welcome change during the trip.
Just as she was thinking this, the shuttle shook slightly.
The three of them looked ahead and saw that the colorful passage had disappeared, and the shuttle had arrived in the sky.
"We've arrived. You can take a look around first. I'll send a message home."
While controlling the shuttle to hover in the air and entering stealth mode, Ma En opened the two side windows for the three people behind him to observe the surroundings, and made a communication call.
The three of them unbuckled their seatbelts, got up, and went to the sides to observe.
All I could see was a clear blue sky and white clouds; nothing unusual, just a perfectly normal sky.
Below is the earth, with mountains, rivers, and a city.
"Is that Fuyuki?"
"It should be. Look over there on the river, isn't that the Fuyuki Bridge?"
"That should be right, but it's a bit old, and I don't know what time this world is in."
After reporting that he was safe, Mar and Eng turned around and asked, "Is it safe?"
"No problems have been found yet, you may land."
After receiving the reply, Marne took control of the shuttle and began to descend slowly.
After landing in an uninhabited area of the city below, the four of them disembarked from the shuttle.
"First, let's confirm the current time."
Having learned from his previous experience, Ma En, now somewhat adept at the route, put away the shuttle and led the three of them onto the street.
I bought a newspaper from the same newsstand.
"Yes, it's still Fuyuki." This wasn't surprising, since they started from Fuyuki in another world, and the passage would most likely open in Fuyuki in this world as well.
"But this time... it's already 2016?"
This time surprised Marne; he hadn't expected that they would arrive in such a late timeline on their first visit.
In 2016, among the various storylines of the Fate series, very few were released this late; only two fit the description.
One is the FGO abandoned dog route, and the second is the EXTRA410 future route.
However, in the future timeline, a major event occurred in 1970, causing the pseudo-ether, or rather, the magic that was drifting in the atmosphere, to begin to dissipate, and reality entered the end times.
Judging from the current magic concentration in this world, it is no different from the world before we set off, so the future timeline can be completely ruled out.
So, that leaves only the FGO route.
"Find the three starter families and check the records of the Holy Grail War."
After a brief analysis, Marx and Engels issued the following instructions.
It's not really certain whether it's the FGO route or not. The origin of the FGO route is a bit complicated, and there's a very necessary condition.
That is, Fuyuki has only hosted one Holy Grail War, and it was successful on the first try, in 2004.
It was for this reason that Marisbury Animusfiah, one of the participants, was able to summon King Solomon.
They ultimately triumphed and obtained the funds to completely complete Chaldea.
It was for this reason that King Solomon was able to make his wish to become an ordinary person, and that's how Romani Archimonde came to be, the doctor.
At the same time, it was King Solomon's departure that gave Goetia the opportunity to launch his long-prepared plan to burn down humanity.
Chapter 182 Rin Tohsaka as an Adult: Deeply Shocked! Confirmed! FGO Route!
Therefore, to confirm whether this is the FGO route, all you need to do is check the records of the Holy Grail War held in Fuyuki, and you'll be right every time.
Then, the four of them split into two groups: Nero and Shishio were in one group, and they were in charge of the Matou family's side.
Yes, this was deliberately arranged by Marx and Engels.
If the old bug in this world hadn't died, the Lion King would definitely have taught him a lesson.
As for how to teach?
The best way is to send the old insect to be reincarnated. After all, it is an insect now, and the best way to teach it to be human is to let it be reincarnated.
Meanwhile, Ma En and his mother, Shan Shan, were in charge of the Tohsaka family's side. They split up and acted separately, returning to consolidate the information at the end.
Afterwards, Ma En and his mother, Shan Shan, arrived at the Tohsaka family home, a place that felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
It felt familiar because the Tohsaka family was still the same Tohsaka family, but unfamiliar because it was much more dilapidated than I remembered, at least in terms of appearance, it looked much older.
I rang the doorbell outside the yard, and soon someone came out of the house inside.
This is a woman who is half mature and half naive. She has the same appearance as Rin Tohsaka, with the same black twin-tail hair, light blue eyes, and wearing a little dress. It is hard to tell her age from her appearance. She looks like she is in her early twenties and has a very youthful and vibrant appearance.
Or rather, she is Rin Tohsaka, but not the loli Rin that Maren is familiar with, but a Rin Tohsaka from this world with a different kind of experience.
"Who are you? What brings you here?"
The adult Rin (for ease of identification, we'll call this the adult Rin from now on) frowned as she looked at the two people who had suddenly come to visit her home. While searching her memory for information about the two, she asked them a question.
"Take a look at this, and you'll understand pretty much after seeing it." Without wasting any words, En took out a photo and handed it to her.
As an adult, Rin glanced at the photo and immediately became agitated. Ignoring any possibility of a trap, she snatched the photo, staring wide-eyed at its contents with disbelief.
The photo is quite simple; it's just a group photo of Maren and the Tohsaka family.
In the photo, Tokiomi Tohsaka and Aoi Tohsaka are prominently featured. Tokiomi Tohsaka stands in the middle, with Ma En and Aoi Tohsaka on either side, each holding a child, namely Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Tohsaka.
This photo was taken by Tokiomi Tohsaka the day before he went to the Roots, as a memento.
What Rin, now an adult, cares about most is not the extra Marn, but her younger sister Sakura Tohsaka.
First of all, the height and age are obviously mismatched. Children grow very quickly, and even a difference of only one year is very noticeable.
Sakura Tohsaka in the photo is noticeably taller than she remembers being five years old.
"What's going on?" Nian Lin was a little confused.
She had no memory of Ma En, so why did Ma En appear in a family photo from when she was young?
Moreover, judging from the photos, the younger sister's condition was completely different from her current situation.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ma En. I come from a parallel world. I am Tohsaka Tokiomi's nominal senior disciple, and also Tohsaka Sakura's master."
"We are currently traveling through various parallel worlds for some purpose, and we have just arrived here. We would like to learn about this world from you, and we hope you can cooperate."
"A parallel world? My father's eldest disciple? Or Sakura's master?"
