871. There are similarities between Nozomi and computers
For example, a mirage is identified as some kind of magic or even an image of heaven, and something misseen due to visual errors is mistaken for a non-existent beast. One of the most typical is the various "water monsters", "snow monsters" or "wild people" that have been rumored all over the world. And in the United Kingdom that Levi is discussing, there is that timeless classic, the Loch Ness Monster.
Although modern analyses of ancient legends from a scientific point of view are mostly correct. However, it is also true that there are some things that really happened that cannot be explained by science, and are forcibly explained by modern people with science that they can understand. This approach is no different from the stories made up by the ancients.
And the most common of the legends that have happened that cannot be explained scientifically are the events caused by magicians, magicians, and other supernatural beings in the past, which were inadvertently witnessed by ordinary people and recorded by word of mouth. Especially in ancient times, there were periods when magicians and other supernatural beings did not follow mysticism as thoroughly as they do in modern times, and they absolutely did not allow ordinary people to witness their supernatural behavior. As far as Lévy knows, in some countries and certain periods, there have even been times when magical abilities were made public and enshrined as truth. However, these once-less mysterious abilities are now becoming more and more unbelievable to ordinary people. This is also indispensable for the ongoing efforts of religious communities around the world.
Religious people who also master and use magic and other supernatural abilities are often the most important forces in combating the disclosure of supernatural powers. And it's easy to see why they're doing it. It is nothing more than a struggle for faith, a spicy attack on those who have the potential to shake the status of the gods they believe in in the hearts of ordinary people. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people who don't know the truth, some things that can be done by magic, magic and other abilities don't seem to be much different from the power of gods preached by religion. If there is a way, wouldn't the religious community want to be able to strike at them in one fell swoop, so that only they have special powers that mortals do not possess? And the incomprehensible phenomena in the world today are nothing more than the anomalies caused by the long-term struggle and compromise of many forces - Lévy does not think that this is the only reason, and he knows that there are many irrationalities in it. However, in a way that makes sense, this is the case.
"Yes, those people must be looking for something. It could be something concrete, or it could be something else that doesn't have a concrete form. ”
Ryoko Asakura handed her phone to Levi and let the person who knew the world better than herself make a judgment. Even though they have the ability to integrate information and minds, they have an innate absolute advantage in gathering information, that is, obtaining information. However, this world, as Ryoko herself said, has too many unreasonable special existences. The situation inside is very complicated, and a lot of information is not readily available if you have enough power.
If it is said that everything in the world of ordinary humans, Ryoko and Yuki know and master far more than Levi. But for all the things in the world that are not accessible to ordinary humans, these two aliens know far less than the man who has lived in this world for a long time and has personally participated in many 'big things'.
"I think they might be looking for something to do with the wizarding world. ”
Levi carefully looked at the map several times, marking the points on the map and trying to find the right place in his memory. Unexpectedly, in addition to those places that can be regarded as scenic spots and are known to ordinary people, such as Salisbury's Stonehenge, there are also some remote places that are not visited by tourists and are rarely known by locals, and have a certain impression in Levy's memory.
"Here, here, and here. At least these three places are small villages where some of the magicians and ordinary people in the wizarding world live in seclusion...... of the ruins. ”
"Ruins?"
Ryoko Asakura listened to Levy's words, and immediately took back her mobile phone and used the network to supplement her ability to search for relevant information. As a result, she searched almost all the public information that could be found on the Internet in an instant, but there was no special record of the three places that Levi mentioned.
"Well, it's a 'stronghold'-like establishment by magicians who first came to the real world from the wizarding world. Slowly, more and more people came out of the wizarding world, and they also had some communication with the local people, and some ordinary villages gradually formed in these places, which seemed to be nothing special. ”
"I couldn't find any information on the Internet. ”
Ryoko said as she looked at Yuki, who was not holding a mobile phone like her, but the action of operating information naturally couldn't hide from her own kind. Levi couldn't tell whether an alien girl like the two of them was in a daze or what she was doing. Unless what they're doing has had an effect on the object in reality, or something has happened. Otherwise, I'm afraid that not only Levi, but also the rest of the people on this earth would rarely be able to catch the signs of their behavior.
After all, this kind of manipulation of information is completely beyond the concept of technology and supernatural forces on Earth at this stage. Lévy understood that what they were doing was like a computer programmer modifying or even editing a program from scratch that could be run on a computer. For example, I want the gray bird that is landing on the railing not far from the three of them to change into something else like blue or red. What Nozomi and Ryoko need to do is probably like a programmer changing the hair color of a character in a game, or changing the icon of a button in the operating system?
Although I can understand what they are probably doing. But how exactly they did it, Levi was completely confused. But it's the same as Lévy's complete lack of understanding of how computer programs are written, maybe it's just because he's too unheard?
It's because of this that Levi knows why Yuki Nagato became interested in computers other than books. Surely it's because of the various operating applications in the computer.,And what she usually does?Although I don't know where those things are.,But I don't like the computer because I like to play games, right?
