Infinite Begins with Giants

Chapter 788 The Crown Riddler, The Weird Old Fortune, The Cut Matters And Ruler
"When all the impossibilities have been eliminated, whatever remains, however implausible, is the truth" - Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes is the most famous and brilliant detective in the world.

He has a wide reputation and great influence all over the world, and he is a person worshiped by elementary school students of Death.

It is not difficult to understand that the great detective appears as a heroic spirit. In the Lunar World, Professor Moriarty, the artificial Frankenstein, the Count of Monte Cristo and a series of novel characters are heroic spirits.

With the popularity of Sherlock Holmes, of course he is also a member of the Throne of Heroes.

Moreover, the Sherlock Holmes in this world is not necessarily a fictional character in the novel. His origins are mystified and his behavior is suspicious.

At this time, for some reason, the famous detective sneaked into the Atlas Court with Ren and his party.

He may have the talent of an assassin, but the group didn't realize that there was a little tail behind him.

It's a pity that I couldn't hide it from Rennes' "Eye of Delusion".

At this time, someone broke his whereabouts, but there was no embarrassment on Holmes' face.

Facing Ren's questioning, he introduced himself calmly.

"Holmes, who is it? You are sneaky, why are you following us?"

Tawara Fujita turned his head, raised his bow, pulled the string and pointed the arrow at the detective.

This person is dressed in strange clothes, looks like an idiot, he is not a good person at first glance.

Old Fu: "..."

Everyone: "..."

The eyelids of the great British detective twitched, there really are people who don't know him.

Moreover, what he asked was not this ancient archer.

"Sherlock Holmes?" Scathach raised his eyebrows, "The great detective in Conan Doyle's novel? It feels a bit..."

The breath of this big detective is quite weird, and for some reason it gives her a feeling of awkwardness.

False, no, a mixture of true and false...

"It's me, ladies and gentlemen. Good morning."

Holding the metal staff of civilization, Holmes bowed slightly to everyone in a very gentlemanly manner, and at the same time looked at Guda and the junior girl, "Long time no see, Fujimaru Tachika, Mash."

"Long time no see, big detective."

"Long time no see, Mr. Holmes."

Fujimaru Tatsuka and the school girl greeted him warmly.

People in Chaldea knew Sherlock Holmes. He had appeared in the fourth singularity and accepted the commission of Babbage, the king of steam, to investigate the truth of "Humanity Burning".

They were a little surprised that Lao Fu still remembered them, but Xiao Mo didn't.

"Of course we know Sherlock Holmes, and I like "A Study in Scarlet" very much, but—"

Ren stared at the uninvited guest with fiery eyes.

Holmes in front of him smiled indifferently, wearing a black striped coat with bifurcations on the outside of his body, and a khaki jacket and white shirt could be vaguely seen inside.

He has a majestic appearance, his navy blue hair is combed into a scrunchie back, and he wears a pair of snow-white gloves. He has the temperament of a British gentleman blowing his face.

The most eye-catching thing is a light golden metal device installed on his waist and abdomen, with many branch-like branches extending from it, and many magnifying glasses are installed on the curved nodes. At first glance, it looks like a peacock spreading its tail. People feel very strange.

The great detective is watching you with countless magnifying glasses, and will not let go of any clues. You are exposed...that's the feeling.

Or the pupils of Death God, there is only one truth...

No wonder Tawara Fujita's reaction was not very friendly. Being stared at by a big detective in strange clothes, there is always a sense of foreboding.

After saying hello, without waiting for Holmes to reply, Ren stretched out his hand to prevent everyone from approaching him, and his eyes became sharp:

"Why are you following us?"

His attitude was not very friendly, which made Guda, the school girl stunned for a moment.

Fujimaru Tachika subconsciously explained: "Ren, he is not an enemy..."

"Whether it's the enemy or not, I'll talk about it later, let him explain himself!"

Without haste, Holmes took out a pipe from his pocket and lit it:
"Don't get me wrong, Master of Soldiers, I have no malicious intentions. I came here to find out the truth about the Incineration of Humanity, and my target is also the Atlas Academy.

Because there are too many organs, traps, and puppets here, I want to save some energy and follow you and take a ride. "

"Really? Then I'm a little curious. Who did you ride from the fourth singularity to the sixth singularity?" Ren asked blankly.

Crossing the singularity is no easy feat.

At present, Mr. Gai, who is pretending to be the King of Magic, and Merlin, Wang Hassan are only a few people who have done it. They are either beasts or crowns.

The old man in front of him is a caster class. Although he is good in strength, he obviously does not have the qualifications for crown rank.

For example, Xiao Mo once appeared in the fourth singularity, but Xiao Mo in the sixth singularity did not know Fujimaru Tachika and Mashu at all, apparently they had been summoned again.

Then why can Lao Fu retain his memory?

He can also go beyond the singularity to trace the truth of the burning of humanity, he doesn't even have a master...

"It's not important, I'm not your enemy." Holmes let out a puff of smoke comfortably and changed the subject.

Ordinary people might just save face at this time and stop asking, but Ren is just an ordinary person.

He was very blank, and he grabbed Lao Fu's tail and asked:
"If you say it's not an enemy, then it's not? It's really a good skill to investigate cases across singular points without a master and without the ability to act alone.

Why don't you teach me how to hitchhike. "

"Your Excellency suspects me?" Lao Fu was smoking a pipe with a calm expression on his face.

"It's not a doubt, but you say it's a coincidence that Solomon, the magic king of the fourth singularity, has the ability to travel across time and space and singularity. Could it be that you are riding the magic king's ride?"

"Speaking of the Mage King, your honor and moody and vicious appearance are exactly the same as him.

It's like it was carved out of the same mold. Do you think it's a coincidence? "

Holmes breathed out a puff of smoke comfortably, his expression was calm but his attitude was tough, and his words concealed sharpness.

"Ok?"

Ren tilted his head and gave the dragon-slaying hero a wink.

Clang!
Sigurd pulled out the magic sword Gram in an instant, and a icy blue light illuminated the entire passage. He rushed over like lightning, and put the sword on the detective's neck!

Old Fu: "..."

As for?
We are all civilized people, how can we do anything when we disagree.

Ren was like a big villain, staring at a pair of dead fish eyes and threatening:
"Honestly, stand still!

Give you a chance to reorganize your language, think about who you are riding, and which path you are taking. "

"..."

Old Fu looked at Sigurd's expressionless dead face in front of him, then glanced at the cold blade on his neck, and obediently raised his hands.

He is not weak, but consider the comparison of the strength of the two sides...

Forget it.

Even if Matthew and Tachika Fujimaru were on his side, and Sanzang was neutral as a teacher and student, they were no match for the warlord, and there were also Sigurd and the Queen of the Demon Realm who were clearly united with the warlord.

"Well, Holmes..."

Mash seemed to want to smooth things over to ease the atmosphere, but Scathach gently pulled her hand, interrupting the girl's words.

Fujimaru Tatsuka, Sanzo, and Tawara Fujita were all silent when they saw this.

Based on what they knew about Ryan during this time, he was not the kind of aggressive person unless he found something.

And Holmes is indeed a bit suspicious...

"It's inconvenient to disclose how I got there...but I really mean no harm. I am Holmes, not Moriarty."

With the sword and ax on his body, Lao Fu's words softened somewhat.

He also brought out his arch-rival, Professor Moriarty, to "remind" everyone that he is a righteous detective.

However, he still didn't disclose any news...

Ren said fiercely:

"Who asked if you were malicious? The answer is irrelevant. Tell me honestly, how did you get to the sixth singularity?!"

After saying that, he gave Sigurd another wink.

Zheng~
The dragon-slaying hero looked grim, and turned the blade of the magic sword on Holmes' neck. A ray of cold light made his skin crawl:

"Don't change the subject, my Master is asking you something!"

Old Fu: "..."

This pair of master and slave is the most stubborn and ungentlemanlike guy he has ever seen.

"There is an old saying in Huaxia that when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it. Now I understand what's going on."

A wry smile appeared on Holmes' face, and he shook his head slightly.

Don't dare to shake your neck too much, or you will be cut by the blade.

"Ha ha."

Ren sneered, walked in front of Lao Fu, reached out and touched the pale golden branches and mirror extending from his waist and abdomen device.

"Mr. Sigson, are you reminding me, have you been to XZ, China? Something related to Tibetan Buddhism..."

Hearing Siegson's name, Lao Fu's pupils, who had never changed face even with swords and axes, shrank slightly.

Only for a moment, no one noticed except Ren.

"Eye of delusion? It's a terrifying ability. If you become a detective, I might lose my job."

Looking at the strange pair of silver pupils of the soldier master, Holmes looked dignified.

Such terrifying magic eyes, breaking all boundaries, analyzing the essence of everything in the world, almost reaching the root of the eyes...

"Your knowledge is not bad." Ren said calmly.

Sherlock Holmes' skills, gifted insight, grade: A++.

Description: The ability to discover the essence of things.Keen observation will not miss any intelligence.Although the principle of clairvoyance is completely different from that of clairvoyance, it can achieve almost the same prediction as clairvoyance in predicting the future.

This ability is only a little worse than EX clairvoyance, and it has some effects of "omniscient and omnipotent star", which is very powerful.

Ren's expression was calm:

"Mr. Holmes, I remember. How did you get to the sixth feature?"

"Remember, I transferred it through the spirit son."

"In what way is the spiritual transfer achieved?"

"...Sorry, this is my personal secret and I have nothing to share." Holmes looked indifferently at him.

His eyes were very sharp, without fear, revealing a faint feeling—he was ready to be killed.

'Tough bones...'

Ren frowned slightly and waved his hands. He didn't really want to do it.

Seeing this, Sigurd took away the dragon-slaying magic sword that had been resting on Lao Fu's neck, and stepped aside.

"That's right, civilized people can't easily use violence."

Lao Fu straightened his collar very calmly, as if nothing had happened, and he looked calm and calm.

But the atmosphere at the scene was still tense and weird... Tawara Fujita and Sanzang were fine, they didn't know why, Fujimaru Tatsuka and Mash were shocked.

What did they hear, spiritual transfer?

How can this be?

When they came to the singularity from Chaldea to repair the human nature, they transferred the spirit particles through the cage, which is a very high-end technology.

Even with the help of a series of equipment in Chaldea, it is not an easy task to carry out spiritual transfer, and the risk is very high.

Back then, when Professor Leif carried out the spiritual transfer to the singularity point F in Chaldea, he used explosives to blow up the case, and almost wiped out more than 40 masters including group A.

How did Holmes master this technique?

"Everyone, it is more important to reveal the truth about human incineration than my little secret... Please put some trust in the name Sherlock Holmes.

Believe me, I will not let my name be shamed. "

With an indifferent smile on Holmes' face, he said without haste.

"Well, I believe Mr. Holmes."

Mash suppressed her doubts and smiled, Fujimaru Tatsuka also nodded.

"That's up to you, the famous great detective of later generations." Tawaro Teng said perfunctorily.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with the soldier's attitude. This person was indeed suspicious.

Ren didn't even bother to be perfunctory: "Holmes is you, but whether you are just Sherlock Holmes is another matter."

There are many concepts mixed up in this guy, it's hard to say whether he is human or not.

"Is your Excellency so hostile to me?" Holmes said with a smile, "Who doesn't have any secrets? Why don't you explain your origin?

The master of soldiers, not recorded in human history, a ghost wandering in time and space, unknown origin, unknown identity, unknown purpose... Isn't it more suspicious?

I have a hunch that the truth about your origin must be astonishing. "

Reciprocity, the big detective poured a basin of dirty water back with his backhand.

"Ok?"

Ren tilted his neck and snorted softly.

Without further ado, Sigurd put the magic sword back on the old man's neck with a flash of cold light, and the sharp blade stuck to his skin, "Pay attention to your words, Mr. Holmes."

Old Fu: "..."

Shit, why don't you make him pay attention to his words?
Threatening violently at the slightest disagreement, these reckless people really pissed him off...

"Don't be like this, there is something to say, since everyone has the same goal, let's go together."

Miss Sanzang hurriedly made love with her.

To put it bluntly, it can be regarded as exposing this stubble.

Then everyone continued to set off, including Lao Fu, the team expanded again.

Rumble~

Not far away, the ground trembled, and a group of guards rushed out of the passage.

Heavy armored knights, tigers, crows, wolves... all kinds of alchemy puppets with metal shells rushed over together!
Countless golden particles shone between Ren's fingers, and he aimed his fingers.

boom! !

A dazzling golden laser cut through the void and pierced through the bodies of a row of puppets!

They froze immediately, and a red hole appeared in their bodies, and they fell to the ground with electric sparks all over their bodies.

Tawara Fujita pulled the bowstring, and the protection of the dragon god gave the arrow a magical cold light.

Bang bang bang!
The streamer-like arrows shot wildly, accurately hitting the energy cores of these alchemy puppets, without fail, and each arrow would explode a flaming red lotus!
Even if there is a fish that slips through the net, it will be shot away by Matthew with a shield.

The defense of the Atlas Institute is fairly tight, and these various alchemy puppets are very difficult for ordinary human magicians.

But in the face of the heroic spirits with strength far beyond the limit of human beings, it is useless.

Of course, this is based on the fact that the buildings here have already been emptied, and all organs and puppets are automatically searching for enemies.

Otherwise, the alchemists inside would take out a few high-level weapons or dresses to meet them, even if the heroic spirits came, they would not be able to eat them.

As the three major organizations of the Magic Association, some parallel worlds have even destroyed the London Clock Tower, but Wandering Sea and Atlas Institute are still safe and sound.

Who is the younger brother, and who is strong on the outside but capable on the outside, you can tell at a glance in a crisis.

However, the situation of this singularity is a bit strange. The Egyptian territory was summoned by Raji with the Holy Grail, and there is an Atlas courtyard attached, but it seems to be empty inside.

Everyone dismantled many magic traps along the way, and destroyed a large number of artificial puppets of alchemists, breaking through the seemingly tight defense of the Atlas Institute lightly.

Soon, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Passing through the passage, a bright world appeared, the sky was blue and clear, the sun was shining brightly, and white clouds of different shapes were floating... The scenery is very pleasant.

"so amazing."

The junior girl's eyes lit up, and she looked left and right.

"Uncanny workmanship, there is such a scene underground." Tawara Fujita scratched his head.

"It's all fake, apprentice idiot, this is a fictitious sky created by alchemists." Miss Sanzang's eyes lit up, and she reprimanded pretendingly.

Under the fictitious sky is a small city, with gardens, green spaces, roads, pools, buildings...everything is available, but it's a pity that it's silent and devoid of popularity.

After watching for a while, everyone entered the city and headed towards an open-air ring-shaped building in the center, where three towering obelisks could be seen on the top.

"It seems that there is really no one in there."

After scanning it with the "Eye of Delusion", Ren, who was walking behind, frowned.

They all reached the core area, but there was still no one there.

Holmes slowed down and stood beside him, with deep eyes:

"In less than 23 seconds, you completed the scanning of all life breaths in a city and the precise identification. Your "Eye of Delusion" is too powerful."

"But even with such a pair of eyes, you can't see your reality." Ren's eyes were impassive, "Are you a real person in history, or are you a fictional character?"

When Gudamashiu and the others in front heard this, they quietly pricked up their ears.

"I'm a character in Conan Doyle's novel, but I'm also mixed with some concepts from related works of later generations."

Holding the pale gold pipe in one hand, Holmes slowly exhaled a circle of smoke.

"is it?
But you met Helena in 1891. There is a record in the clock tower. Helena is a real person in history. This record does not match your form of existence.

Since she really existed, you must have been a real person back then. "

Ren's eyes became sharp, and his silver eyes seemed to have a sharp blade of cold light.

It was near the Himalayas, at the junction of XZ and India, that Lao Fu witnessed the death of the mystic scholar Helena...

Lao Fu's pupils contracted imperceptibly, but his expression remained calm:

"My personal history, does it matter?"

He seemed reluctant to talk about the topic, but Wren didn't let him go:
"What matters is the incident itself, Holmes. Have you heard of Vlad III?"

"The Romanian Grand Duke? The Impaler?"

"Yes, he nailed tens of thousands of people to death with wooden stakes. Later, this appalling incident gradually transformed him into the image of the vampire Count Dracula. The Noble Phantasm──"Blood Inheritance".

However, as a devout Christian in history, he has nothing to do with vampires. "

"What do you mean?" Lao Fu narrowed his eyes.

Ren's voice was indifferent: "Vlad III was influenced by the legends of later generations. When he himself was summoned as a servant, he was also mixed with the image of a vampire."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"Assuming that there was a Sherlock Holmes in history, what made him basically become a fictional character described by Conan Doyle in the cognition of later generations?"

"..."

"No matter how distorted the rumors are, legends, stories, novels, etc. will only add concepts to real people, such as Vlad III.

At least no one would say that historically he was originally a vampire. "

Old Fu: "..."

Ren's eyes were terrifying: "What about you? If the clock tower's records are correct, you have changed from a real person to a fictional one, a fake...covering the real."

He deliberately lowered his voice for these words, so that the people in front could not hear them clearly.

"Maybe my presence in history is too low, and it has been completely covered by the legends of later generations."

Lao Fu replied calmly, and he also signaled with his eyes——Stop talking.

Ryan smiled and put his arms around Holmes' shoulders:

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, you know, my clairvoyance is very advanced, but I can't see your past."

"I have been active in the fourth singularity before, and there may be interference." Lao Fu wanted to push him away, but unfortunately the opponent's palm grabbed his shoulder like an eagle's claw.

"This is an excuse. I can see Fujimaru Tachika's past, but I can't see how some people around him died."

Ren's eyes were deep, and his voice had a strange tone. Some words could be heard vaguely when he was a little far away.

"Do you know? Suppose, a... (ordinary) person was bitten to death by the dragon Fafnir at the first singularity. After the singularity is repaired, he was probably killed by a wild beast.

Because in normal history, there would be no dragon-biting incidents during the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, otherwise it would be too unscientific (scientific) for people. "

"you……"

Holmes finally changed color slightly, and a glint of haze flashed in his eyes.

Ren stuck to his ear, turned his back to everyone, and his eyes were horrifying:
"What happened, such a strong interference, the fake ones covered the (true) ones, some kind of advanced cover-up method? Blocked by the boss?
If it is some kind of interference, is it human factors, or the cultivation of the power of the world... to fix the matter... human reason...you seem to have escaped the cultivation... and became... the only survivor... the spiritual base is unstable... Need to rebalance..."

"shut up!"

Holmes' eyes were sharp, and he suddenly let out a low drink.

boom!
He suddenly exerted force with his fingers, and with a bang, he pushed Renn onto the wall of the street. The wall trembled with such force, and a cloud of dust fell!
A melee mage, so terrifying.

Fujimaru Rika: "..."

Matthew: "..."

The rest: "..."

What's the matter, why are you still moving your hands.

Fujimaru Tachika's eyelids twitched wildly, and so did Mash. They vaguely felt that the two of them just talked about a very horrible thing, which involved many major mysteries.

Sanzang, Tawara Fujita, and Sigurd were more or less aware of it.

But, I didn't hear clearly, damn it!
Two rubbish riddlers, secretive, your sister.

Not to mention Tawara Fujita and the others, even Fujimaru Tachika couldn't help but want to curse...

Regardless of everyone's reaction, Lao Fu grabbed Ren's collar with one hand, pressed the spikes on his civilized staff against his neck, lowered his voice, and said vaguely:

"You're so crazy, don't talk about this, don't talk about it (temporarily), it's not yet (time), let's do things one by one."

Ren: "..."

Good guy, Caster just swung his fist in anger.

Worthy of being a melee mage.

Balloon technique, grade: B++.

Having learned Oriental martial arts which is very suitable for actual combat, Sherlock Holmes is good at defensive counterattack and throwing techniques in addition to using this skill combined with boxing techniques.

As long as the conditions are met, it can even be used as a special skill of the Noble Phantasm Real Name Liberation Level...

──
Now is not the time to say this.

pop~
Ren patted off Lao Fu's hand, straightened his wrinkled neckline, and snorted softly:
"My inner lining costs [-] U.S. dollars each, so be careful in the future.

One last question, where are you standing?Of course, you are totally free to lie. "

"Don't stand on either side!"

Holmes snorted coldly, took a few steps back, and took a few puffs of tobacco to calm himself down.

He didn't expect the "Eye of Delusion Breaker" to be so terrifying, and it was actually stronger than "Omniscience and Almighty Star" and ordinary EX-level clairvoyance, and even after wiping it so clean, some clues could be found.

And relying on some clues to restore it to this point, the soldier master is far more scheming than he thought.

The soldier's guess is not entirely correct, but it is very close to the truth...

Not standing on either side?
Master Renn couldn't help showing a strange look on his face, and then he smiled:
"No wonder, it seems that next time, you will be Ru... (Ruler)."

"Have you finished?" Old Fu stared at him coldly with unkind eyes, "Should we talk about it now, what are you and where are you from?"

Ren laughed dryly: "..."

Tsk tsk, the big detective is offended.

"You know what detectives hate the most?

It's not the criminal's weird and weird modus operandi, it's not a perfect alibi, it's not the lack of criminal motives or self-contradictory reasoning logic, but—
The prisoner ran to a far away place and suddenly killed irrelevant people. He didn't deal with the traces, but directly blew up the place with a ton of explosives, and then ran home in style.

Everyone knows it's an intentional homicide, but you just can't find out who it is.

There is no ins and outs, no logical relationship... There is only a mess, and the prisoner has already run away, and you are the kind of guy that all detectives hate the most, spoiler! !

Shit! ! "

At this time, Lao Fu completely lost his gentlemanly demeanor and cursed loudly.

Few people could irritate him completely, not even his arch-rival Professor Moriarty, but Ryan did.

"Get rid of it, get rid of it."

Ryan lit a cigar and handed it to him, "Come on man, smoke this King of Denmark cigar, it's $5000 apiece."

"Humph!"

Holmes put down the pipe in his hand, took a deep drag on the sky-high priced cigar between his fingers, and looked him up and down:
"Your clothes are mixed with a little dead air, and they are in slightly undulating lines, like leftovers from a sword blade, or a broken sword...

Have you been educated by that old man of the mountain?Hehe, the shit stirrer deserves it!

The situation is chaotic enough now, you, a bastard who came out of nowhere, came to disrupt the situation! Shit! ! "

Ren: "..."

Whoops, the big detective started to fight back.

There are too many slots, and he doesn't know how to refute.
