"It's still about the Orthodox. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Patchy's tone became stern—more like extremely unpleasant.

"They have banded together to suppress you?"

"No, that's not the case, there is no serious conflict between the magicians, Alice, you seem to have said that you visited an ancient magician before you came to settle in Gensokyo, right?"

"Yes, it's a magician mentioned in the manuscript my mother left behind, and it seems to have existed from more than 2,500 years ago until I became a magician."

"Magicians at this age can almost be called masters of anthropology."

"I don't know if anthropology is anthropology or not, but I went to visit him because of his vast exploration of wisdom itself, ah, it is said in the manuscript. If nothing else, almost all of my knowledge of the society of magicians comes from that master. ”

"Nothing else?"

"Because I had only recently become a magician, and my interest in the mysteries of the soul had not yet been fully established, the tips I received from the master were not as sufficient and effective as I had imagined beforehand."

"Maybe if you go to him now, you can get more unexpected knowledge."

"I don't even know if he's still alive in the world, let alone where to find him, it doesn't matter, if we can always see each other, Patsy please continue."

"Well, you've learned from the ancient magicians that the world of magicians is not a group of people gathering together into a close-knit society, but that most magicians have their own territory and unique fields of study, and magicians occasionally meet with certain magicians to discuss problems with each other and let apprentices get to know each other. Therefore, there is not a single academy dedicated to teaching magic in the society of magicians, let alone an institution that openly recruits magical apprentices. ”

"It's loose, but there's still a party."

"Yes, my so-called unpleasantness is caused by the new apprentices of the old magicians."

"What about those apprentices?" Is Miss Patchy, the cute witch?

"You know that the nineteenth century and even the beginning of the twentieth century were the century of war."

"Well, strictly speaking, every century is a century of war."

"But the wars of the past are not comparable to the wars of the nineteenth century in terms of destructiveness and breadth," she said, "and many of the old magicians in their youth were old monsters who had participated in the historical disputes of mankind in various periods, so even if they retired to concentrate on research, they would have more or less a warlike character, and these personalities were passed on to the ambitious new magic apprentices in the nineteenth century, when the disputes began to globalize, and these new magic apprentices infect each other in communication. As a result, the study of magic, which analyzes the nature of the world, gradually turns into the development of war technology. ”

"But," I said, "even back to the pre-A.D. century, isn't it the consensus of many magicians to use magic to wreak havoc?" ”

"But there has never been the madness of the nineteenth century."

"Huh?"

"In the days when gunpowder was not yet effective in warfare, the magic of a magician could be more destructive than burning down or flooding a city," Patchy said in the tone of a history researcher, "and more destructive magic was not needed just to kill." ”

"Yes."

"Even if it's a dispute between magicians, offensive technology doesn't need to be as destructive as it penetrates several meters of alloy plates. As a result, ancient magic was inferior to modern magic in terms of being used in battles. ”

"Are those rookie apprentices starting to push the study of magic into the development of warfare technology extensively?"

"That's it, you know that my Sun Sigil [Royal Flame] has almost reached the peak of its efficiency in releasing light and heat, and this magical technique dedicated to destruction was developed during that time."

"Did Patchy develop it on her own initiative?"

"That's right, if it were just for the displeasure of the magic apprentices for their ridicule of my unkeep-on approach to warfare, I would have ignored it, let alone wasted my time designing a series of magical techniques for the dispute."

"Why didn't the old magicians stop their disciples from going astray in scientific research?"

"Some wise old magicians who have not been exposed to the temperament of war do try to do this, but just as gunsmiths are not necessarily better marksmanship, old magicians - especially magicians who have never been involved in human disputes - are often inferior to war-loving apprentices when it comes to fighting, and the idea of the mad magician apprentice is that a teacher who cannot win his own game is not qualified to interfere with his choice. However, there are very few old magicians who stand up against the militarized use of magic, and most of them have an ultra-liberal view that everything should be left to its own devices. ”

"So, what exactly is the reason for Patsy's change/attitude?"

"Soon after becoming a witch, I became acquainted with Remi and was asked to manage her family's library, which I had passed down for generations, and I moved my own collection into it, and the library began to take on the scale you see today. The development of these magical techniques for fighting was done in the library. Patchy took a big sip of tea from her bowl, "Why do you do that, hmph, it's all due to the hubris of some magic apprentices." ”

"Hah...... Did they get the idea on Miss Remilia's head? ”

"During a gathering of magicians, I was making our own conjectures about the phenomenon of particle reactions, but a magician interrupted my train of thought and invited me to a quiet corner."

"And then?"

"Then tell me that there is a group of magic apprentices who are discussing colluding with religious radicals to eliminate the demons of the Red Devil Pavilion and seize some precious magic items."

"Don't they care about your relationship with the Demon Lady?"

"I think that at that time, Professor Norregi, the Witch of the Seven Dawns, was probably similar to the old magicians in their eyes, belonging to the old-time diehards who pursued a comfortable scientific research environment and did not know how to use war technology for profit. No one took me seriously at all. ”

"Ahhh

"Well, of course, I'm grateful, but I didn't have time to express my gratitude back then, I had to step up and deal with the crisis, and Remi probably didn't care about the petty machinations of a group of magic apprentices and a handful of religious radicals, because she didn't know what kind of destruction those magic apprentices had."

"Isn't it amazing?"

"It's quite powerful, if you let some magic apprentices put up a position and let everyone work together, it is very simple to directly turn the Red Devil Pavilion and the entire land into small pieces."

"At least still sabotage within understandable limits......"

"Even if Remi doesn't care about the Red Devil Pavilion's disappearance, my books can't. My only way out is to destroy all the invaders - before they react. ”

"And then they were wiped out?"

"That's right, I've spent days devouting countless offensive techniques, using the legendary Magic Workshop and Magic Position technology to turn the Red Devil Pavilion into an inaccessible death site for miles. Then the fanatics were caught off guard and killed! ”

It's scary! Miss Vanilla, the mad Nanayao Witch, is also terrifying!

"Well, it's because Alice talks about her ability to fight that I think back to these unpleasant memories."
