Chapter 32: A Gift from the Jeweler
"I can't pretend that I didn't hear you say that, I'll accept this boast and appreciation."
The old and strong Demon Marshal stroked his beard and turned his attention to the starlight again.
"It's so brazen, hey! I'm just saying that, and I don't really want to praise you...... Wait, wait, let's put down the gem sword and talk, okay, it's not suitable for fighting, it's not suitable for ......"
Lynn thought about it, but stayed away from the old man who drew his cane without saying a word.
"Speaking of which, half-body."
Venom, who hadn't spoken for a long time, came out with an eyeball: "You say he is the guardian of the world, why don't most people in the Magic Association know about his deeds?" ”
"It's because of his work." Lynn shrugged her shoulders.
Many people don't know what exactly Jewel holds in the Magic Society, and sometimes he will appear at the scene of the trial of sinners, and take people away at will in the surprise of the judge; Sometimes he would appear with the Second to give orders to the stupid would-be disciples; Sometimes, he will mysteriously disappear, and when he reappears, he will carry something that does not seem to be in this world.
Some people slandered him for being a vegetarian meal, but the two wands that he casually made proved that his strength had not waned.
Someone shouted angrily that the Dead Apostles should not sit on the top of the Tower of the Hour Tower, that only humans could rule over humans, and then the next day the man who said this was found falling from the stratosphere to the ground, and the corpse was evenly distributed ten square meters around him.
It seems that the jewel man is always idle, and it seems to be involved in every major event of the Magic Association.
"Venom, I remember that the other world you came from should also have a theory of parallel space."
Without answering the question head-on, Lynn gave an example.
By analyzing otherworldly things, it is sometimes possible to obtain some knowledge of the composition of the otherworld, and from Venom, Lynn once saw that he came from a large and magnificent world, with countless possibilities, as if described by countless gods with their hands - although the gods over there may be very weak.
"What would you think if one day, someone came to tell you that there are countless parallel worlds around you, and every choice you make will create a parallel world."
"Isn't that a matter of course?"
Although there were no eyelids, Venom still manipulated the mimic eyeballs to roll his eyes, revealing a look of disdain.
"For people in the magic world, this is a matter of course, and in all basic departments, parallel space theory is a very valuable knowledge point. Even if it is not a magic world, in the minds of people who have the ability to contact the Internet and have an education above junior high school, there should be the concept of parallel worlds, as early as decades ago, in science fiction novels and movies, cicadas have chirped countless times based on quantum mechanics. ”
"But what." Lynn's eyes narrowed.
"If someone tells you that every choice you make will give birth to a parallel world - and someone can manipulate your choices from a detached perspective."
"Mortals are weak, and even the magicians who can destroy the White House with a single blow have their own weaknesses: whether my choice is correct or not, my choice will affect the rest of my life, and every human will think like this. The parallel world view of time and space is their retreat, and everyone who thinks they have failed will have 'Even if I make a mistake in a certain choice, on the far other side, there will be a glamorous me.' ’”
"I see."
Venom understood Lynn's words.
Life is made up of choices, in other words, choices determine the fate of human beings.
The jewel who can interfere in parallel worlds is undoubtedly the one who can interfere with the fate of mortals without them knowing.
This power is very powerful, and it is also very dangerous, and no one dares to entrust their fate to a bad old man who has lived for more than two thousand years, even though this is an old man in an unknown place, saving the world that may be extinct countless times.
"The old man who quietly changed his fate, I see, if it were me, I would hide my strength, otherwise the crazy world would tear me apart."
Lynn surrounds this spherical space.
In an environment like a starry sky, there is only this throne and a phone call in the structure of the other world.
Although he has been working against the jewel man, how many times has he been here to save the world?
"Hey, get out of the way. There's a 'light' on your side that I need to take a look at...... Tsk, wake up the big spider? No, if there is a war, it will take at least a hundred years, and we need to intervene......"
Lynn: "......"
Lynn: "No, wait a minute, didn't you come over to check on the possible shady scenes, how did you start doing your job!" ”
"Oh, get used to it."
With a pat on the head, Jewel pulled a book from the armrest of his throne.
"Shady, to be honest, I'm really not going to Japan anymore."
"What's going on?"
"Don't you know? You should know better than I do. ”
Glancing at Lynn, the old man said, "In a way, Japan is as important as England. ”
This sentence startled Lynn.
As we all know, the island nation of the United Kingdom has a very important position on the earth, and if the earth is compared to the human body, the United Kingdom is the navel of the planet. Even the Divine Generation, which was supposed to disappear in the first year of the Common Era, was delayed here in England until the fifth century.
Comparing Japan to Britain is as ridiculous as someone comparing ice cream to an iceberg in Antarctica.
"Probably some kind of cause and effect."
The old man closed the book.
"Whether it's a magician, a witch, or the Twenty-Seven Ancestors, it's easy to get involved with Japan, and even the Holy Grail War, which swept all over the earth, is also Japan's Fuyuki. So don't you think it's funny, these are obviously the highest combat power in the world, but they are always moving towards that island country. ”
"For twenty years, there have been at least two ...... No, the ancestors of the three dead apostles failed there, it is said that His Royal Highness Bai Ji now lives on the island country, and the Bai Yi Gong faction among the twenty-seven ancestors is desperate and refuses to get close to Japan, and the Black Ji faction is also quite jealous of Japan. I don't know why, but one thing is clear. ”
The old man stared into Lynn's eyes, and he felt that the jewel man would have something very important to say next, so he quickly pricked up his ears and listened.
"It's been turned into a tiger's den."
"The world's top combat forces are all watching there. If the shady stuff you're talking about by Lynn really has any purpose, it's definitely a breeding ground for conspiracy. Forced by my duty, I will not go over no matter what, otherwise it is easy to be drawn into a death match, and I will never involve the Magic Association without seeing the interests clearly. So not only will I not help you casually, but on the contrary, I will take the power of the Magic Association out of Japan as much as possible. ”
"But, sooner or later, there's going to be a big war there."
"Then I'll talk about it then, in short, until I recognize the conspiracy, the combat power of the Magic Association must not be compromised there."
Only at this time.
This old man sitting on the throne will fade the aura of a guardian. He is not only guarding the human race, for the sake of the legacy created by his old friends, he is also constantly guarding this declining magic association.
As long as the dean does not come out for a day, he is the highest level on the surface, and his words and deeds are related to the interests of hundreds of families in the entire association.
However, he also had some doubts.
Originally, for the Magic Association, as long as you go seriously to investigate, there is no secret that you can't see.
But for the shady scenes of the Tokyo Subspecies Holy Grail War, no matter what channel he used, he could only get the truth in a few words, and even if he used the second method to see the trajectory of the parallel world, he couldn't see what the future would look like.
There is a problem.
However, there is still no way to take risks.
"This matter can only be solved by yourself, Lynn."
The old man, who couldn't see the future clearly hidden by the fog, looked at Lynn.
"Huh? It's my business again. ”
"It's your business, it's just that the Magic Association will give you less support. Unless you can guarantee that this matter won't drag the Magic Association into the water, there's no way I'm going to send someone to help you. But you can use your own connections to find out the truth. ”
How do you feel, it was the wrong decision to ask him for help.
Aren't you really fixing me...... Instead of helping, he had to withdraw the power of the Magic Association.
The corners of his mouth moved, but Lynn still held this sentence in his heart, if he was shot by the gem sword again, he would be hospitalized for a few more days. After taking a deep breath, he spoke: "Okay, I've got a good helper anyway." ”
"Who?"
"Flatt."
“……”
Jewel Man observed a second of silence for the poor people of Tokyo: "I just got the news that the modern magic department was blown up by him, and the second has been sent to the Saint-Goment Hospital, the emergency department, and it seems that he will not be able to get out for a few days." ”
So Lynn was replaced by Lynn and the second who had a stomach hemorrhage began to mourn in silence.
In the end, Jewel Man and Lynn exchanged views.
He felt that one Frath was not enough to muddy the possible shady scene, and if he could, he would let Lynn go to Tokyo in person.
"Even if you can't interfere in the Holy Grail War, you can interfere with the power of the authorities."
He said so, and Lynn thought about it for a moment and decided to give it a try.
Before saying goodbye, Lynn floated to some exit of the spherical room, only to hear the voice of the jewel behind her.
"By the way, I shouldn't have paid you yet, Fuyuki for that."
"Oh, that's not the case."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a knife thrown from behind, and Venom reached out and caught the knife with his tentacles.
"This should be considered a reward, if you don't want to, it should be considered a gift, and your wand should be broken."
Looking at the magic dress in her hand, Lynn fell into deep thought.
"Well, I understand the reason, but why a kitchen knife?"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
PS: The more I write, the worse it gets (Lie) There are still two or three chapters that are the next volume, so let's use someone else's perspective.
PS2: In a sense, the Japan of the moon is really powerful, it is 900 A.D., and there are still divine heroes such as Minamoto Yorimitsu, Wine Swallowing Boy, and Jin Shi, and there are more than one or two...... In contrast, the Lionheart King hovering between history and mythology is much worse, and the millennium A.D. is still a myth on people's side!
PS3: Does anyone know this kitchen knife (laughs) Because some people have complained that a wand is a weapon is too discordant, so let's make a normal one (laughs) You see, a sword-shaped wand like the AZOTH sword or the jewel sword is the true meaning of the moon (laughs)
