Grey agreed quickly, but it didn't take long for her to regret it. She saw the woman with the red ponytail in front of her raise her left hand with a smile, then pointed at the back of Elmero II, who was lying on the bed. The next moment, a beam of light appeared and swept across Elmero II's back. The burns on his back healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a minute, he had completely recovered.
"Okay, it's done."
Fangzheng put away his personal terminal and snapped his fingers.
"I've healed his physical injuries. As for the internal injuries, we'll have to wait for him to recover on his own. After all, it won't be easy for him to wake up. It'll probably take him at least a night."
"That's unbelievable."
They didn't have much of a reaction to the two rituals. Instead, Olga Mary's eyes widened.
"Such a serious injury, and it healed so quickly … What method did you use? Was it a druid's elixir? "
"Haha, don't joke around."
Fangzheng showed the personal terminal in his hand again and shook it in front of Olga Mary.
"This isn't magic, it's the power of science."
"Science?"
Olga Mary frowned, while Fangzheng shrugged.
"Yes, the power of science. History moves forward, and so does the world. Even if we lose the mysteries of the past, it doesn't mean that we have really lost the exploration of the unknown. That's why I said that magic has fallen behind. There's no good end to being stuck in a rut. It's just that most magicians can't see this. "
In Fangzheng's view, the magicians' behavior of concealing the mysteries itself was a manifestation of ignorance and stubbornness. They insisted that science and mysteries were incompatible, and that when the development of science solved the mysteries, the mysteries would lose their effect. This was the ultimate manifestation of illiteracy and superstition, and it also represented that these magicians had no common sense about science at all.
Solving a mathematical conjecture did not mean that the mathematical problems stopped. On the contrary, it would give rise to more puzzles. The discovery of a new particle did not mean that humans had a way to observe the whole world. On the contrary, it would make humans feel insignificant and the vastness of the world. With the development of science, mysteries would not decrease, but they would increase. When you solve one why, another why will appear. It can be said that this process is endless.
But magicians simply couldn't keep up with this era.
This was normal. After all, most magicians didn't go to university.
It was too difficult to expect a group of illiterate people to understand the world. They were not even as good as the civil scientists who claimed to have proved Goldbach's conjecture.
Perhaps some people would argue that the Magician also paid the price of blood and life, but what was the use of that? The primitive tribes in the Amazon forest had not passed down the rituals of blood and death from generation to generation. Who in a civilized society would care?
The Amazonian butterflies could even cause a storm in the Pacific Ocean with a flap of their wings. So what if the primitive Amazonian danced as a shaman? Could it even cause earthquakes in Eurasia?
So the primitive Amazons didn't have as much of a presence as the butterflies.
"It's done."
After rebuking Magician, Fangzheng turned around and patted Grey on the head.
"It's done. He should be fine after a nap. When he wakes up, tell me about your face."
"Ah, okay …."
Seeing that Elmero II's back had recovered, Grey relaxed a lot. She nodded and looked at Fangzheng curiously.
"Um … Miss Red Ponytail."
"Yes?"
"Aren't you curious about who hurt Master like this?"
However, in response to Grey's question, Fangzheng yawned.
"A follower."
"Huh?!"
Olga, Mary, Grey, and Corlez all exclaimed.
"A follower? Why would she be here? "
"How did you know!?"
"No matter what, I'm still a master."
Fangzheng pointed to himself.
"The aura of a follower may not be familiar to others, but I also participated in the Holy Grail War. She's not an assassin, and she didn't hide her aura. In fact, I felt it when she appeared. I just didn't want to bother …. "
With that said, Fangzheng waved his hand.
"Then, we'll go back to sleep first. Good night."
Back in their rooms, the girls went to sleep, while Olga and Mary went to bed with the red ponytail.
"I'm not afraid!"
Olga and Mary looked at Fangzheng next to her and snorted.
"Didn't you say you were going to protect me? And you said that the culprit would do something to me. In that case, I want to see who the culprit is! "
What else could Fangzheng say? He could only say, "Fine, fine, fine. Whatever you said is right." But it didn't matter. Olga, Mary, and the red ponytail were still children. It wouldn't be too crowded for the two of them to sleep in the same bed.
"Aren't you afraid that I'm the culprit?"
Fangzheng couldn't help but tease Olga Marie when he saw her act as though she was trying to hide something.
"I'm not afraid. Besides, I have a good eye for people."
"Is that so?"
Since the other party said so, Fangzheng didn't say anything else. He just yawned, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep.
But after a while, Olga Marie's voice came from beside her again.
"Hey, red ponytail."
"Huh? What's the matter? "
"Magic …. Does it look so bad to you?"
Olga Mary still couldn't accept it. She was also a magician. She was raised as a magician since she was a child, so she was somewhat resistant to the words of the red ponytail.
"Huh? No, magic doesn't matter to me. I just think magicians are stupid. "
"Magicians?"
"That's right. The magicians of Kanzaki had more power than they do now, but why didn't they pursue the source? Because pursuing the source is not the purpose of magic. The birth, existence, and development of magic are also for people to grasp, control, resist, manipulate, and observe the world. Magic is just a means, not an end. From this point of view, the essence of magic is not much different from science. In fact, many so-called magic skills in ancient times were completed by scientific means, weren't they? "
Having said that, Fangzheng snorted lightly.
"It's just that compared with technology, the threshold for magic is too high, so it declined. After all, the world is driven and advanced by the majority of people. However, magicians forget this. They don't think about keeping pace with the times. Instead, they desperately try to grasp the glory of the past that has long passed. It's like a beggar who used to be a king still trying to return to the era when he could summon hundreds of people, ignoring the reality that he can only beg in the corner. "
"Aren't you going too far by saying that?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Olga Mary suddenly became dissatisfied.
"Someone has to say these words. It's right that you think it's unpleasant, because it means that I'm right. If I'm just talking nonsense, you can just laugh it off. Why are you angry? "
"Ah …"
Olga Mary couldn't help but let out a low cry. Indeed, the unkind words of the red ponytail just now made her quite uncomfortable. It was as if all her disguise had been forcibly stripped off and she was being executed in broad daylight … Could it be that she knew what the red ponytail said was right?
"In my country, there's an idiom called carving the boat to find the sword. This comes from a story. A swordsman traveled by boat, and when he was in the middle of a lake, his sword accidentally fell into the lake. Then the swordsman hurriedly made a mark on the boat where the sword fell. When others asked him what he was doing, he pointed to the mark on the boat and said that the sword fell into the water from here. When the boat docked, as long as he followed the mark, he would be able to find his sword."
"Huh?"
Hearing this story, Olga Mary couldn't help but cry out.
"Was he an idiot? How could he find it? "
"That's right. So when the boat docked, the swordsman followed the mark and searched for a long time, but he couldn't find the sword … Hehe, I think it's quite similar to a magician."
"…"
This time, Olga Mary didn't speak for a long time. Then, she snorted softly, grabbed the quilt, and turned around.
"I'm going to sleep."
"Good night, sweet dreams."
Although the little girl was a little tsundere, she was still a good person. As the saying goes, education should start from a child. Well … it's not too late yet.
Thinking of this, Fangzheng closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When Fangzheng woke up the next day, Olga Mary had already left. He heard from her roommate that she went back to her room, saying that she had something to think about. Fangzheng didn't care too much about it.
But to everyone's surprise, when Fangzheng and the girls finished washing up and were about to go for breakfast, an unexpected voice suddenly came from the radio in the carriage.
"Hello, dear passengers. The Magic Eye Collector's Train has deviated from the original route and is expected to enter the Son of the Viscera Forest in 30 minutes."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Tenno and Shizuo couldn't help but exclaim, but the voice of the radio did not change.
"Before the auction begins, please ensure your own safety. Please understand the inconvenience caused."
"You can actually do this …"
After listening to the broadcast, the girls were all dumbfounded. Not to mention the first part of the notice, the latter part was basically telling them to "take care of their own lives, we're not responsible" …. If this was in Japan, this kind of service attitude alone would probably cause them to resign from their posts!
"Xiao Hong, what's the Son of the Viscera Forest?"
Shizuo asked curiously.
"It should be a Death Apostle … I remember one of the 27 Ancestors called the Viscera Forest, but it's different from ordinary vampires. I heard that it's a man-eating forest. As for the Son of the Viscera Forest, I'm afraid it's something similar."
As though to verify Fangzheng's words, the train soon shook heavily before slowly coming to a stop. At the same time, everyone instinctively looked out of the window. Tenno's eyes widened in surprise.
"It's snowing!"
That's right. If what they saw from the window a few days ago was a summer grassland and wilderness, what they saw now was a cold, pure white snowfield. The howling cold wind mixed with snow drifted past the window, and they could see the dense forest not far away.
"Interesting!"
Seeing this scene, the two girls licked their lips excitedly.
"Xiao Hong, can we do it? This thing suddenly appeared in front of us, right? Is it our enemy? Can we kill it? "
"Of course. The Son of the Viscera Forest should be something similar."
Fangzheng nodded.
"You can try if you're interested."
"Okay, I'll go now."
"Be careful."
The two girls couldn't wait any longer. After all, Flower and Autumn Leaf had already fought with monsters. Only she had never encountered a monster before. Now that she had encountered one, and it could be killed, how could she let it go? Therefore, after getting the red ponytail's permission, the two girls ran out of the room excitedly without even eating breakfast.
"Ah, Yatsuki-san!"
"Shiki, wait for me!!"
Seeing the two girls leaving, Tenno Asami and Shizuo Seo also hurriedly followed her out of the room and rushed towards the forest outside.
