Jotaro Kujo is challenging fgo

Balzeb, who was speaking intermittently about the content of the prophecy, turned livid in an instant. Jotaro avoided the coming 'attack', and put Balzeb's upper body aside.

Immediately after drinking too much, Balzeb spit out a lot of mosaic substances, and then blushed like this, hugged the barrel, and fell asleep with a happy face.

Jotaro brought her to the bed, intending to let Balzeb go to sleep, but Emiya Miyu stood up, the girl frowned, resisting the suffocating smell of alcohol on Balzeb, and said seriously :

"No, you have to wash your body before going to bed!"

What a girl!

In this way, Jotaro entrusted Balzebu to Emiya Miyu's care.

Then back to the main topic of the combat meeting.

"Go through, pass through, pass through, beyond the reach of love, on the island of the witch, the great goddess will sing ancient songs and tell the secrets of the past—this is the content of Balzebu's prophecy."

"Compared with divination, the answers obtained by prophecy will be more abstract, and you have to act according to the instructions of the prophecy, otherwise you will suffer bad luck..."

As the person in charge of mysticism other than Da Vinci, Elias Fel paused when she said this.

"However, the prophecy this time does not describe when we will do it... Jotaro, do you think we should directly follow the prophecy, or go to the decisive battle to find Blackbeard first?"

Jotaro thought about it, and felt that no matter what the decision was, it seemed to be fine, so he turned the question on to Fujimaru Tatsuka, the "protagonist" appointed by the narrator.

"Huh? Ask me? This..."

Fujimaru Tachika could only bite the bullet and think.

[After listening to the prophecy, Fujimaru Tatsuka thinks, what is the next step? 】

[1. According to the original plan, go to find the Blackbeard decisive battle first! 】

【2. Follow the guidance of the prophecy to find the 'Great Goddess' on the 'Witch Island'】

【1D2=2】

"According to the guidance of the prophecy, how about looking for the 'Great Goddess' on the 'Witch Island'...?"

Fujimaru Tachika hesitated again and again, but still said such words.

"Why?" Matthew couldn't help asking Lixiang, "Aren't seniors worried about the safety of Mr. Kadoc?"

"No, I'm not that cruel, it's just...that's how I feel"

Li Xiang scratched his head.

"Didn't Illya say that before? The opponent has Hector, the heroic spirit who is very good at 'defensive combat'. Even if we want to sneak attack, we will face disadvantages because of compatibility issues. But on the other hand, since the opponent is good at defense , then we don’t take the initiative to attack, let the opponent chase us, and then we look for opportunities to defend and counterattack, wouldn’t it be better?”

Lixiang seemed to be thinking seriously this time, she tried to analyze the situation and said: "Actually, no matter how we think about it, we don't have any trace of Blackbeard now, and we don't know where the Blackbeard Pirates are, and we can't immediately Counterattack, right? The opponent has Hector, and it would be dangerous to attack us rashly... But Blackbeard and the others have been chasing us, even if we don't look for them, they will find us! When the time comes we Maybe you can..."

Fujimaru Tachika tried hard to describe something, but she was not a real military adviser after all, but Joseph, the commander-in-chief of Chaldea, helped her add the unclear content:

"That is to say, the danger we encountered in the process of searching for 'Witch Island', the Blackbeard who chased us also had to face it, whether he did mental calculations or not, this can be regarded as an advantage for us."

"Then what about saving people?" Matthew was still puzzled.

Jotaro answered what Mash cared about: "It's not that I don't care about Kadock's life or death, but——Mash, we are good people."

"Yes! Mr. JO Taro is undoubtedly a hero of justice!"

"...Blackbeard and Hector must know this too."

"This..." Mash stared at Jotaro, stunned.

Joseph clicked his tongue: "Although I don't want to admit it, good people do get pointed at by guns."

"That's right." Jotaro nodded slightly, "We must save Kadoc, because we are good people, and we will never give up our companions. Blackbeard...Leaving aside Blackbeard, but that Heck Thor must be clear, and he must have made various plans in his mind to use Cadoc against us, which must include situations such as our sneaking over to save people."

Mash was silent, because Jotaro and Joseph's analysis was correct.

"But on the other hand," Joseph comforted, "as long as Kadock is valuable as a hostage to contain us, his life is guaranteed. Although he doesn't have any outstanding talents in Group A, he is better than all Everyone studies hard, the basic skills are very solid, and the direction of research is also 'survival', so let us trust him!"

Jotaro also emphasized to everyone: "To save Kadock, he has special value in this singularity."

The next action plan is set in this way.

☆

Joseph took the other two "prophecies" that appeared in the narration that Jotaro privately sent to him, and went to Da Vinci to analyze them, and Eliasfiel began to analyze the next chapter of Jotaro's adventure group. Destination—Where is 'Witch Island'?

"There are too many islands inhabited by witches. Even with the limitations of 'Greek mythology' and 'Roman mythology', there are still too many. We have to figure out the identity of the witch. Judging from the content of the prophecy, this should be A witch who has a relationship with a goddess, such an existence exists in Greek mythology..."

Nero tilted his head: "There are too many targets that meet this condition?"

"...Yeah." Ilyasfell sighed, "Although keywords such as Greek mythology, sea adventure, witch, goddess, and love are mentioned, the most famous and The goddess has a relationship with the witch..."

Jotaro suddenly said, "The Legend of the Golden Fleece—the wife of Jason who appeared in the Argonaut legend, and the 'Medea' of the 'Betrayal Witch'."

"Yes, one of the most famous legends in Greek mythology. Medea's name and story have been adapted in various ways. In fact, Medea's master and aunt's great witch, Kale, perfectly meets the above conditions. Moment' that's it..."

David, who listened quietly and played the piano quietly, interrupted suddenly: "So the witch island we are going to find will be the island where Medea practiced...the island where the great witch Circe lived' Aiyu Island '?"

"It's not wrong to try to think about it from this angle..." Eliasfiel glanced at David, "We don't have a precise answer now, and it's okay to start with the most famous witch. , but the problem now is that we don't know where the Witch Island is."

Eliasviel shrugged.

"After all we are not Odysseus."

— Odysseus

The protagonist of the adventure story "Odyssey" in Greek legend revolves around the return of Odysseus, describing how he had to encounter various difficulties and obstacles during his years of adventure at sea because he offended Poseidon, the emperor of the sea. story.

Among the many ordeals that Odysseus encountered was 'Circe of the Isle of the Witch'.

It is said that Circe is a witch who will never leave the island where she lives, and it is also said that she is a goddess of witchcraft and herbs who lives on the island.

She likes sailors, especially Odysseus, and has a strong pursuit of him.

But Odysseus is a married man, and he is completely uninterested in Niotaur, so he flatly rejected Circe countless times.

Circe finally fell in love once, but lost so thoroughly, with the pissing nature of a Greek goddess, he was naturally furious and vented his anger on Odysseus and his companions.

But in the end, Odysseus escaped from the Witch Island relying on his wisdom and luck, and even got Circe's help several times when he encountered the danger behind.

"...Actually, I think the Witch Island we are looking for may be Circe's island."

Eliasviel said suddenly.

"The environmental mutation of this singularity has become a 'primordial struggle'. Under such circumstances, the divinity is activated to the maximum, so... Circe may have the opportunity to show her 'true' attitude."

"There was a goddess teacher named 'Hecate' in Circe. He was the goddess of the underworld, the goddess of the lamp, the goddess of guidance, and the goddess of opportunity. He was a great three-phase god, but although it existed in the records of Greek mythology, But there are almost no scenes, and the scenes related to her basically revolve around Circe."

"This is because... Hecate is not actually a goddess in the Greek mythology system, but an existence that was 'recorded by the people who sorted out Greek mythology' in later generations. She is actually a 'goddess from the east'— —Probably a goddess in the ancient Persian region or ancient Arabian culture? She is a great "three-phase god", and also has the triple attributes of "sky ruler", "earth ruler" and "ocean ruler", and more Considered 'the personification of the dark side of the world', as an unmarried virgin, even Zeus feared her power... but her exact origin is unknown and is now completely lost, but certainly not originally It belongs to the existence of the Greek mythology system.”

Look at how this buff stacks.

"The prophecy mentions the 'great goddess'. In the relevant legends of Greek mythology, there are not many who can assume this identity, and are related to islands, witches, etc. Athena is one, but it is not the same as here. No, so I think this should refer to 'Heikati'."

"Combined with Hecate, although recorded in Greek mythology, it is almost non-existent, just around the fact that Circe is mentioned occasionally... Circe is the goddess Hecate' incarnation ' is extremely likely."

Eliasviel suddenly looked at Balzebu who was already asleep.

"In a sense... the situation of Hecate is similar to that of Balzeb, they are both 'forgotten goddesses', except that Hecate has not been completely forgotten, she has Circe Incarnation, the hero Odysseus related to Circe is even more famous all over the world, and his name has become synonymous with the word 'adventure (Odyssey)', and the story of his disciple Medea is also enduring."

Although she herself is largely forgotten, her name exists in the background panels of Circe and Medea, and is recorded in this way.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has not been further stigmatized as a monster or a demon king. Although she has a subtle sense of existence, she has always had a background identity of "Master of Circe" and "Master of Medea" that can be used as a ——

"But on the other hand, although she has always been the background board, she has hardly been polluted by the additional settings of later generations. In the current primitive struggle environment, this can be said to be a stage for her to show herself...Of course ,the most important is"

Elias Felter paused.

"As the 'incarnation of the dark side of the world', she is a goddess who is closely related to the sea of ​​imaginary numbers... To be honest, with the passage of the 'great goddess' in the prophecy, I feel like an open-book exam Yes, the answer is simply on the face."

"This is the power of prophecy and divination." Jotaro said.

Eliasfiel couldn't help but sighed: "Yeah, divination and prophecy with a [-]% probability, it's like cheating or mechanical descending... Oh, yes, Hecate also Also the 'God of the Mechanicus'."

Eliasfiel added: "At the same time, according to the content of the prophecy, I think that in the process of our search for this 'great goddess', we will encounter 'three difficulties', because it is mentioned at the beginning of the prophecy 'Pass it, pass it, pass it', three times in a row, is what the classic prophecy hints at."

"The difficult legend related to Hecate—that is, the legend of Circe. In fact, the answer is quite obvious. It is nothing more than the 'Charybdis' that Odysseus had to face when he got into trouble with Circe. Vortex' and 'Scylla the Sea Monster'."

Fujimaru Tachika thought for a while, and said strangely: "The vortex and the sea monster... aren't there only two? What about the third one?"

Ilyasviel suddenly showed a strange look, and his eyes came to Jotaro, "It was also said in the prophecy, 'beyond the reach of love' - the third difficulty is 'witch's love' , or in other words, according to the prophecy, it is 'never fall in love with the witch Circe'"

Fujimaru Tachika was stunned when he heard the words: "This...is it difficult?"

"However, according to the legend, if you want to overcome difficulties, you need Circe's help—in other words, you need Circe to fall in love with 'you'—"

Ilyasviel drew her tone, and then looked at Jotaro Kujo, who was the only male in the team.

"Well, let's say I'm also a man?" David smiled and talked about the harp in his hand.

Eliasfiel rolled her eyes at him: "You are a heroic spirit, the essence is dead data, a spirit body, are you sure you want to face Circe, who is the incarnation of Hecate, the goddess of the underworld, like this? And she Your favorite type is a sailor, not a shepherd?"

David immediately shut up.

Lixiang was still puzzled: "With JO Taro's charm, coupled with his reliable personality, it's just that Circe likes him, but he doesn't like Circe...is it difficult?"

Ilyasviel, who had known Lixiang would say that for a long time, added: "But Circe is the goddess of potions, and she likes to give potions."

"......what?"

"The Elixir of Love."

"!"

Li Xiang subconsciously looked at Black Arthur who was still binge eating at the banquet.

"However, it's not like we don't have a way to treat the other side... well, although it makes me a little uncomfortable."

With a tangled expression on her face, Eliasviel took out a glass bottle containing an unknown pink liquid from her arms.

"I had the opportunity to enter the treasure house of the hero king Gilgamesh before, because didn't Hohenheim make similar things before? So I found this as soon as I went in, and I took it out."

Eliasfiel shook the 'highly concentrated stock solution of the oldest elixir of love' in her hand.

Eliasviel handed it to Jotaro.

"Whether to use it, how to use it... Well, JO Taro, I leave it to you to decide, after all, you are the only one we can use."

"Different from the elixir of love that Hohenheim imitated, which was mainly used to weaken Black Arthur, this bottle is a real potion. It looks like a drug, but in essence it has become the curse of 'love' that has materialized. There is no difference."

"Even if it is a goddess, it will take effect."

"...However, facing that Circe, if you don't drug her, she will drug you."

Jotaro took the potion of love, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
