After leaving the Holy Hall, Rozen and his party re-entered the underground space under the cliff that was frozen by Irori before, which prevented the monsters outside from entering. Standing on the ice field that was emitting cold air, for a while, there was some silence.
Rozen aside, Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki were thinking about the giant monster named Gines in the Holy Hall, and they couldn't believe that there was such a thing under the academy.
What the hell is that?
Is it a divine mechanism researched by the academy?
However, Rozen clearly said that it was an unfinished product.
Is it a divine mechanism that is still being researched, and it is not fully formed?
How can they research that kind of thing and make that kind of thing appear?
As a divine mechanism, Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki couldn't ignore this matter, and their hearts were heavy.
Rozen looked at the girls who were a little depressed, and after a wry smile, he said.
"Well, don't think too much. Since it has already appeared, let's just let it be."
So Rozen tried to persuade them.
The girls looked at Rozen one by one, and then they couldn't help but be attracted by the blue gem-like stone in Rozen's hand.
"What is this stone? Rozen? "
Komurasaki seemed to want to change the topic, or to change her mood, she deliberately asked in a cheerful voice.
"This?" Rozen raised the stone in his hand and said with a smile, "Didn't I just say it? It's called 'Want Stone'! "
"'Want Stone' …"
Ye Ye murmured.
"Is it the wooden stake of Yasumoto Tsukino?"
Irori asked as if she remembered something.
The Yasumoto Tsukino she mentioned referred to a huge earth and wood god in Japanese mythology. It was said that he could open a big net to the sea and pull all the islands. When he walked on the land of Nippon, his footsteps would also become a lake. He was a god with great power.
In the myth, this god once set up a wooden stake in the land of Nippon to suppress the earthquake. The wooden stake gradually turned into the shape of a stone over a long period of time, and that stone was called 'Want Stone'.
That was why Irori said that it was the wooden stake of Yasumoto Tsukino.
Of course, in Japanese mythology, there was also a saying that the earthquake was caused by a big catfish in the ground. When the catfish moved, an earthquake would occur. Kashima Akira nailed the catfish's head and tail with a nail to prevent the earthquake, and 'Want Stone' was that nail.
Therefore, in Japanese mythology, the so-called "Monogatari" was equivalent to the guardian god of earthquake prevention. In the Kashima Shrine, there was also a sacred object called "Monogatari", which was said to be the body of the guardian god. In areas with frequent earthquakes, people also learned the myth and usually put a stone like "Monogatari" in the old house to suppress the earthquake phenomenon.
In other words, in the eyes of Japanese, this so-called 'Want Stone' was equivalent to the god of the country.
It's just …
"The 'Want Stone' here is explained from the perspective of engineering." Rozen shook his head and said, "Magnus also said that this stone has many names. If I'm not mistaken, the church will call it 'Original Sin Stone', historians will call it 'GI Crystal', and physicists will call it 'Stone of Nothingness'. Different people see it as different things, but in the end, it is actually something that we are all familiar with."
What is it?
"The most popular magic circuit in the world, which laid the fundamental foundation of the mechanical magic system, can give all automatons the power of life and soul, Eve's Heart."
Rozen looked at the magic stone in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said.
"This' Want Stone 'is its prototype."
When Rozen said that, Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki all widened their eyes.
"Prototype?"
The three girls looked at the magic stone in Rozen's hand in amazement.
Rozen smiled.
"You should all know that the magic circuit called Eve's Heart is the origin, starting point, and origin of the mechanical civilization, right?"
Rozen explained.
"It's a black box full of mysteries. To this day, there are still many parts of it that cannot be explained. It's relatively easy to duplicate it, but it's almost impossible to design it from scratch. Even now, every workshop that makes mechanical puppets has a mother body for duplication, but no one has succeeded in creating one from scratch."
In that case, where did the original Eve's Heart come from?
In other words, where was the original mother body?
The answer was already obvious.
"It's right here, in front of you."
Rozen spread the magic stone in front of the girls, which shocked them.
Because what they saw now was the beginning of the mechanical civilization, the origin of the current era.
Without it, automatons would not have life.
Without it, the mechanical technology would not have developed to this day.
It was a holy relic that could recreate the miracle of life. Even if its function was different, it was equivalent to the Holy Grail in this world.
It could be said that all mechanical puppets came from it.
Including Irori, Ye Ye, and Komurasaki.
"In the mythology of the Bible, it has always been the human treasure left by the church's savior until the church split. In the 11th century, it was officially divided into two factions. Seven hundred years ago, when the infamous Fourth Crusade attacked the capital of Byzantium, it was taken away by the West."
Rozen said.
"Even so, this stone is still the symbol of the Pope and the authority of the church. Until shortly before the Renaissance, an Italian atheist stole this stone, extracted part of its power, and made a replica, and the magic circuit called Eve's Heart came into being."
After that, this human treasure was probably passed through many hands, and finally, it was obtained by the most powerful magician in the 19th century.
"After obtaining this treasure, Edward Rutherford, who longed for divinity and ingenuity, became excited."
Rozen looked at the girls.
"You should know how to make an automaton, right?"
Hearing that, Ye Ye immediately raised her hand.
"Ye Ye knows!" Ye Ye quickly said, "You must first create a mechanical shell as the hardware, and a magic circuit as the software. Only by combining the hardware and software can an automaton be born!"
That was something that had been said before.
Automatons could be roughly divided into a body as the hardware, and a magic circuit as the software. Only by combining the two could a qualified automaton be formed.
The puppeteers had been researching on these two aspects. On the one hand, they worked hard to solve difficult problems, creating powerful hardware to act as the body of the automaton. On the other hand, they continued to research and refine the software to develop different magic circuits to enhance the performance and magic of the automaton.
So, the problem was.
"At the end of the day, divine ingenuity is also an automaton."
Rozen said.
"So, if you want to create divine ingenuity, you can't do without these two preparations, right?"
That was it.
