Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

Zongman: Picking up Medea at the beginning Author: Ye Ji

(In November 1994, the Fuyuki City disaster broke out. Before the disaster, the Tosaka family adopted their second daughter Sakura to their distant relatives, the Edelfeldt family)

(In June 1998, Ryougi Shiki was still sleeping and had not woken up)

(In 1999, Kiritsugu Emiya was confirmed dead)

Now it was February 2004. Roland sat in his room, looking at the Command Seal on the back of his hand, and let out a long sigh.

The Fifth Holy Grail War was about to break out, and as soon as he crossed over, he discovered that there was a blood-red Command Seal on the back of his left hand.

1. Meet Medea at the beginning

Well

Roland slowly opened his eyes. The dim orange-yellow light in the room, combined with his eyes that had not yet fully awakened, added a layer of warm haziness to the small room, making him feel as if he was in a dream.

But his increasingly clear mind and the real touch were like the progress bar during the game cutscene, constantly urging Roland, as if saying, "This is all real," "The game is about to start, hurry up!"

"this..."

Roland was still a little confused.

His previous memory was that he was reading a novel, and then he was so sleepy that he put down his phone and went to sleep.

How come when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in such a strange place?

Where is this?

When Roland's thoughts reached this point, it was as if he had touched the key to some taboo. The moment his thoughts touched this area, a strong but extremely short-lived tingling sensation occurred in his brain. Then, when he subconsciously pressed his temple with his hand, he already understood the current situation.

Suddenly, a strange memory appeared in his mind.

That was the life of an orphan who grew up in this city from school to working, a full twenty years.

This strange memory and the knowledge, language, and common sense that came with it made Roland sit on the bed in a daze for a long time. After he had sorted out all these things, he could only accept this fact.

He crossed.

This realization made Roland raise his hand and pat his head, as if he wanted to use external force to stop his chaotic thoughts.

There was nothing uncomfortable about the general context of Roland's memories, and the same went for the time travel.

Because apart from some different experiences brought about by the different worlds, countries and cities they live in, he and the owner of this memory are almost identical.

They are all orphans, they all dropped out of school to work after their inheritance ran out, they all live in the house left by their parents...

Moreover, the two-character name remained the same, his rather outstanding appearance remained the same, his somewhat bad behavior remained the same, and even the scars left from his childhood remained the same - it was as if Roland had been brought directly into this world.

There is nothing unacceptable in this part, and there is not much that needs to be sorted out.

Therefore, what really confused Roland were mainly some problems with details.

First of all, this city is called Fuyuki City.

And as far as he knew, about ten years ago, the head of the powerful Tosaka family in Fuyuki City, Tosaka Tokiomi, adopted his youngest daughter, a little girl named Sakura, to his distant relatives, the Edelfeldt family in Northern Europe. Then, a large gas explosion known as the Fuyuki disaster occurred in Fuyuki City.

This incident was reported in the news, and the luck of the little girl named Sakura became a hot topic in Fuyuki City for a time.

Just these places were enough to make Roland realize that he might have traveled to the Type-Moon world.

And that's not even the scariest part...

Roland slowly raised his left hand, and then he saw a blood-red emblem appear on the back of his left hand, blending into his skin.

He had completely received the memory. He was very sure that he had never had a tattoo, and he was also very sure that he had no common sense about magicians in his mind.

But the Command Curse took the initiative to find him.

This means that he has the qualities to be a magician.

It also means that he is qualified to come into contact with the mysterious side of this world.

But the problem is that there seems to be no time for him to slowly get in touch with these things... If the Command Spell finds him, it means that the Holy Grail War may be about to begin.

This reminded Roland of the present time - February 2004, when the Fifth Holy Grail War began!

Logically speaking, he should summon a heroic spirit to serve as the opponent's powerful accessory, and then use his understanding of the original situation to help the opponent win.

Or even if I lose, I must try not to die in this Holy Grail War.

Can...

Is there anyone who can memorize the huge magic circle for summoning heroic spirits just by reading the original novel and watching the anime, and by luck, just meet the requirements of materials, conditions, proportions, time, and environment, and then summon the heroic spirits without even knowing how to use magic?

At least he couldn't.

He now feels that magic is just like math problems. It will never betray you. If you can't do it, you just can't do it!

This is a big problem.

He has now been chosen to be the Master and left directly from Fuyuki City... It can only be said that it is too late to run away after being chosen.

There must be a mechanism to keep the Holy Grail War going.

This mechanism was not directly presented in the original work, so if Roland had not been desperate, he would not have wanted to run headfirst into this basically unknown mechanism.

If it had happened during the previous Holy Grail Wars, it would not have been impossible for him to go directly to the church to surrender, and the church would even arrange subsequent matters, which would definitely include his desire to leave Fuyuki City during the Holy Grail War.

But now the priest of the Fuyuki City Church is called Kotomine Kirei.

Although I don't know whether Kotomine Kirei has made a surprise attack on Bazette or not, and whether he has become the Master of Cu Chulainn, Gilgamesh is probably with Kotomine Kirei...

Too dangerous!

Roland didn't really want to come into contact with Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh when he was powerless to protect himself.

Thinking of this, Roland forced himself to calm down amidst his chaotic thoughts and sorted out various kinds of information in his mind.

This is the Fifth Holy Grail War.

If you're lucky, there are safer ways to do it.

He hadn't seen any news about people disappearing in Fuyuki City recently, which meant that Medea and Medusa hadn't started hunting ordinary people yet.

It's not a good idea to go find Toosaka Rin during this period of time...Toosaka Rin has been trained as a magician by Toosaka Tokiomi since she was a child. Although she is not a pure magician, she is not familiar with her before and she does not trust her, so there is a high possibility that she will directly attack an unknown magician.

And the opponent's Heroic Spirit might be that Red A...

The Heroic Spirit Emiya is a righteous partner like Emiya Kiritsugu, so it is hard to say what his attitude towards me is.

So if we really have to talk about safety, it’s safer to go find Shirou Emiya.

Shirou Emiya is not the type who will attack you directly. If you are in trouble, he will help you even if he doesn't know you.

In addition, there were things left by Emiya Kiritsugu in his family's warehouse, so he was able to summon Heroic Spirits even though he had no knowledge of the Holy Grail War.

The only thing he had to guard against was Cu Chulainn's pursuit of Shirou Emiya.

But there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, Roland quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and found a pair of gloves to block the Command Spell.

He remembered that when Emiya Shirou first met Cu Chulainn, the other party kept saying that Emiya Shirou was an irrelevant person - so as long as the Command Spell was not seen by others, the probability of not being recognized was quite high.

As for how to find Shirou Emiya, that is also simple.

Although Fuyuki City is so big that it is not easy to find the Emiya family and the school where Emiya Shirou attends, it is still very easy to find Ryudo Temple.

Shirou Emiya's friend is in Ryudo Temple, so I found Ryudo Temple, found Shirou Emiya's friend, and then I can find Shirou Emiya.

It just so happens that Liudong Temple is quite close to where I live.

After figuring out what to do, Roland immediately took action.

He had memories of Fuyuki City in his mind, which prevented him from being helpless about the streets. However, looking at the city planning in the Far East, Roland still had a strong feeling that he had traveled through time.

But now is not the time to lament about this.

If Roland remembered correctly, when Medea started to absorb magic power, she attacked ordinary people around Ryudo Temple. Now he was not sure what period of the Fifth Holy Grail War it was, which made him subconsciously speed up his pace.

After all, he had just been chosen to be the Master.

If he remembered correctly, Medea had a master before she met Soichiro Kuzuki.

She had a falling out with that guy first, and then met Soichiro Kuzuki when she was about to leave.

Therefore, if I had moved faster, I wouldn't have been so unlucky to run into Medea hunting ordinary people.

Apart from that, it doesn’t matter even if I meet the other party in Ryudo Temple... My minimum requirement is just to survive, so if I meet the other party and Soichiro Kuzuki in Ryudo Temple, there is still hope if I change my strategy and just pursue survival.

Roland thought so.

However, when he reached the foot of Ryudo Temple, he saw a figure that looked very familiar to him.

There is definitely a difference between reality and anime.

But the clothes that Medea wore when she was a heroic spirit are still easy to recognize, and Medea did not change her clothes most of the time.

So the moment he saw the other person, Roland felt a chill in his heart, because when he saw the other person, the other person also saw him.

Roland subconsciously wanted to run.

But when he thought that Medea's attacks were basically light bullet magic, he didn't dare to turn his back to her.

Then, before he could react, his eyes blurred and he found that Medea in the distance had disappeared. The world was like a puzzle with the wrong pieces. Medea, who was just far away, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Although Roland already knew that Medea could perform a space transfer technique similar to teleportation by herself, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, he still felt it was extremely unreal as he had always lived under common sense.

But Medea now had her arms around his neck.

No matter how unreal the scene before your eyes is, the weight you feel on your body is always real.

And as Medea's breath hit his face, Roland also heard her voice.

"I met you just when I should have left... Maybe this is fate, a kind of luck, but also more misfortune..."

After Medea casually set up a barrier to interfere, she also discovered that Roland possessed magic power, and the amount of magic power was not small.

So at this moment, when Medea was lying powerlessly on Roland, she, who was not as tall as Roland, stood on tiptoes while looking at Roland, filling the last bit of distance.

After that she whispered to Roland.

"Then please take me a little further."

Medea took the initiative to rush forward, then fainted, leaving herself to Roland's control.

If Roland knew how to make a contract with a heroic spirit, then he might be able to use the contract to allow Medea to continue to participate in the Holy Grail War.

But Roland knew nothing about magic.

Therefore, at this moment, we can only use the method that Soichiro Kuzuki used in the original development.

That is the most basic and primitive method.

Roland held Medea, who was already showing signs of fading, and found a hiding place. In this way, he completed the magic repair for Medea, who was about to leave, and signed a contract.

......

2. Medea tried to believe

When Roland opened his eyes again, he felt

"The sunlight is so blinding."

Before this, although Roland was not a man of outstanding conduct, he had never stayed overnight in the wild, let alone fought in the wild.

But now he straightened his clothes and looked at Medea lying beside him, his eyes suddenly became complicated.

This is the foot of Ryudo Temple, so there is definitely no one watching.

Not to mention that this place is remote and Roland had deliberately found a place away from people, the last barrier set up by Medea before she fell into a coma was enough to block most problems.

Roland didn't know how Medea did it, but he was lying on the ground with Medea before, and now there was no dirt on his body, his clothes were not dirty, and there were no bugs to be seen.

It was as if he had not slept here, but had just come here for morning exercise.

Perhaps this is one of the effects of the barrier left by Medea.

Medea, lying on the ground, closed her eyes. Roland had covered her with her magician's robe, but Roland did not cover her with the hood.

At this moment, she seemed to be the cleanest ray of sunlight among the sunlight that was cut into pieces by the leaves above.
