Chapter Twenty-Eight: Please Look at the Beauty
At the same time as Ryori Kano was funeral for Orlock, Shinji and Loreleia also talked about the same topic.
However, the focus of the conversation between the two sides is obviously different, with Ryori Kano focusing more on the inner confession, while Shinji is more focused on the process and techniques.
"I see, transplanting feelings and personalities by transplanting magic marks, this is what Ashuburn is trying to hideβto resurrect the dead Guranids. β
The youngest lord ever in the clock tower lowered his pen, and the line next to the pen was highlighted.
"There have been cases where people who have been transplanted with vital organs such as the heart or liver have been affected by the original owners of the organs, and some have awakened talents that they did not have before, while others have suddenly changed their tastes. Taking this a step further and importing memories and emotions is theoretically possible. β
"That's right. β
Shinji, who was sitting across from him, nodded.
"The magic mark is also an organ, and it is an organ of accumulation of experience and mystery, which is equivalent to another brain of the magician, and it is very suitable as a carrier, isn't it? Although different magic marks can cause rejection, this problem can be solved by 'butterfly magic', which focuses on the caterpillar turning into a butterfly through the chrysalis and completely transforming the form of existence. That's why Ashuburn is willing to work with you, because it's only through you that enough raw materials can be gathered. β
"It's not you, it's them, don't include me. β
Loreleia corrected Shinji's words and glared at him in passing.
The Department of Law and Politics is the oldest department in the Clock Tower, and there are so many secrets buried here. Even if Loreleia has been a lord for five years, he has only mastered part of it, and many chess pieces like Ashubyrne will not investigate until there is a big problem or need to be activated, this is the influence or heritage accumulated over time, and it is also the biggest enemy of Loreleia's rule and reform.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Your Majesty. Shinji raised his hand in surrender, "But this operation does not mean that the dead are resurrected, even if they completely inherit the memories and feelings of the deceased, they are essentially different from the deceased, because the living who inherit the inscription also have their own memories and feelings." Therefore, the then Jirobo Kiyogen, who had been engraved and restored, showed a situation similar to schizophrenia or dual personality. β
"The resurrection of the dead is the realm of magic, and 'butterfly magic' hasn't reached that level yet β it feels a bit like a computer virus. β
Unlike traditional magicians who reject technology, the members of the Law and Political Science Department are very receptive to new things, and Loreleia is no exception.
"Yes, a computer virus, a virus called Gunidra invaded the operating system called Qingxuan, and the two sometimes merged, sometimes fought. β
At that time, Jirobo Kiyogen was indeed a monk from Japan, and everything he had shown before was not a disguise, whether it was personality or magic. The reason why he became Guranid was because his own mark was mixed with Guranid's mark.
In Griwin's private room, Shinji finds a notebook containing information on magicians who have undergone engraving restorations, including Kiyogen's name.
As for the cause of Gunidra's death, Orlock didn't say, but according to Shinji's memory, it should be the same genetic disease as his mother, and this disease can be inherited.
Grevin would go crazy not only because of the death of his wife, but also because of the death of his son. If memory serves, Ollock also helped in the study.
But in the end, Orlock was killed by his lover ordered by his son because of his research results. I have to say it's an ironic thing.
Of course, this is just the sigh of Shen Er, and Loreleia just commented lightly:
"Sowing the cause, reaping the effect, the sin deserves it - if the dead are resurrected or reincarnated, it is forgotten, and mixing the consciousness of other magicians with magicians as a vehicle is a provocation to the rules of the magic world. β
It was only at this time that Shinji remembered that the woman in front of him was also an anomaly.
Because of the education of the Barsermelo family, her perception of emotions has always been distorted and indifferent. If Shinji hadn't entered her heart because of various emergencies and accidents in her girlhood, it would have been impossible to chat with her so easily and equally.
At least having yourself, it's better than going alone.
Glancing at his sitting position with Jiro's legs crossed, Shinji asked as he strengthened his determination to support Loreleia forever.
"What are you going to do with Qing Xuan?"
"Peel off the engraving first, observe it for a while, and if you can get rid of the influence of Gunidra, you can let him go, if not, you can only be imprisoned for the rest of your life as a sample. Either way, he is the biggest victim, and it's all the good things done by his ancestors. β
With that, Loreleia bit her thumb.
Shinji knew that it was a little habit she only had when she was emotional. So he picked up a tea cake from the side and handed it to Lorelia.
"Eat something to cool off, don't worry, you're not yet 20 years old, and you have time. I'm sure you'll be able to weed out this rotten rotten flesh little by little. β
Loreleia took the tea cake casually, but didn't put it in her mouth.
"I remember someone younger than me, and I believed I came to help me sooner. β
"Aha, wait, wait, I prefer to be your 'hand of darkness' rather than show up, it sounds so emotional. β
"Every time you talk about it, you play dumb, I don't know what you're thinking. Loreleia sighed helplessly, "Forget it, it's useless to force you, let's continue to talk about stripping the city - I want to hear your evaluation of Ryori Kano." β
Shinji didn't hide it, according to the truth: "The strength is good, the mind is flexible, and the ability to perceive and analyze is not much worse than Weber, and the ability to secretly plan the layout may be even better." β
"Such a high rating?" Loreleia visibly surprised. Shinji has great admiration for Weber, and using him as an analogy is enough to illustrate Kano Ryori's ability.
"Trust me, I'm telling the truth. But I want to remind you that I can't see through this person's attitude, although she said that she leans towards your side, but only she knows what it actually is, you must think about it carefully, you can't raise tigers for trouble. β
"I've never worried about keeping tigers, because I'm confident that I'll be able to convince all tigers. β
As he spoke, Her Majesty winked at Shinji defiantly, and the boy turned a blind eye.
"Then the question of loyalty must always be considered. β
"What do you suggest?"
"Wait, wait for her to submit the report, compare it with mine, and see if she has hidden it, and what she has hidden, so that you can see how much she is a person. β
"Very good advice, just do what you say. Oh, by the way, there's one more thing for you. β
"And?" Shinji was trembling at the time, "Miss, I just came back by plane, can't you let me slow down?"
"It's a good thing this time. β
"A good thing, a good thing?"
Shinji raised his energy slightly, and Her Majesty smiled mysteriously.
"Look at the beauty, please. β
"Clam ???"
PS: I still recommend going to watch the original "Second Incident Book", because I don't want to drag it out too much, so I skipped a lot of wonderful reasoning and plots.
PS2: This volume may disappoint some book lovers - ah, why didn't it come to the fifth war. Don't worry, this is the foreshadowing of the Five Wars, many of the characters that appear here are related to the Five Wars or directly participate in the war, such as Webber, Grey, Luvia, compared to Rin, Sakura, and Ilya, who everyone is familiar with, the traitor is more willing to spend some ink on this aspect, lest the Five Wars look confused, and there will be questions such as "I rely on, who is this? I rely on, who is this? Where did this person come from? Why is he a dull face?".
