A human magician who believes in science
Upon returning to the manor, Hisali wrote a letter to Yuka detailing the situation in the Sunflower Field and advising her to be careful with Méticy. At this time, she was basking in the sun on the balcony when Fuster came over.
"Sisari-sama, there's a guest here."
"Guest," Hisali murmured, looking at the sky, "something has been a bit more going on lately. ”
"And does Lord Hisali want to see you?"
"See, how can you not see? People came to visit. Hisali turned to the living room.
In the living room, Ming Luo sat at the guest table and looked around curiously, it was the first time she had seen this kind of medieval architecture, and by the wall stood another purple-haired woman with glasses, she frowned at some of the pictures on the wall, as if thinking about something.
"How's it going for our Cherfer Manor?" Hisali stepped down and said, "First-time visitors are always amazed at the medieval architecture. ”
"Brilliant." Like most people, Minroe had this thought: "I've never seen so many lights and crafts in a room. ”
"Poof," Hisali couldn't help but smile, "you know what? In the past 100 years, many people have expressed the same sentiment as you. ”
"Of course," Minro scratched his head, "There are very few buildings like this in Gensokyo." ”
"Indeed, curiosity is certain," Hisali said with a noble salute, "I am the master of this place, Hisali?" Cherf. ”
"Hello, my name is Mingluo." Ming Luo hurriedly returned the salute.
At this time, Hisali mainly came to another woman who was immersed in thought, she walked up to her, and looked at the photograph that had immersed the woman in thought, this picture was very large, three meters long and two meters wide, there were many people on it, and in the middle was a sturdy middle-aged man, with a short beard, and bright eyes, and there were hundreds of men and women around him, not big but very clear. ,
"This is a family portrait made by my father for our whole family with magic when I was 14 years old, and I recreated this painting by means after I came to Gensokyo, which is also a small family memory, at the age of 14, when the Cherver family was still in its heyday, and the years were all gone." Hisali's feelings about the painting are also mixed.
"Ah, you're Miss Hisali, the owner of the manor, sorry, sorry, I didn't notice you coming down." The girl's face was flushed, and she was a little overwhelmed.
"It's okay, it's hard for me to sense what's going on around me when I'm stuck in my thoughts." Hisali said unconcernedly.
"My name is Rikako Asakura, and I'm a scientist and a... Human Demon... The Attorney.... When talking about magic, Rikako was obviously reluctant.
"You're very magical, but you don't seem to like magic very much?"
"Because I believe in the power of science, using magic can cover up a lot of scientific phenomena." Rikako said.
"Gensokyo is a place where you are not bound by common sense, and many scientific phenomena are difficult to study in Gensokyo, and although Kappa is constantly researching high-tech technology, they are not completely obsessed with studying scientific phenomena."
"I know, so I want to borrow some scientific classics from the outside world," Rikako looked at Hisari expectantly, "I saw a report in Wenwen Daily that there are not only magic books in your library, but also classics of various scientific pioneers. ”
"That tengu reported again, although he was right by mistake." Hisali said helplessly: "You come with me, Miss Mingluo, you also come, I may know what you are here for." ”
Ming Luo was stunned for a moment, but then reacted and followed the two to the library.
"I entered Gensokyo a hundred years ago," Hisari pulled out a few books from the bookshelf and stacked them in front of Rikako, "At that time, industry was developing rapidly, pioneers in various fields appeared, and I had just returned to the surface at that time, you may not believe it, I spent hundreds of years in an underground shelter, and after I came out, I copied a lot of books in order to understand the current state of the world, and it was easy to copy with magic, and then I didn't read much before I brought them into Gensokyo." ”
"So many books," Rikako's hand trembled a little: "Darwin? He's a very famous scientist, such a thick book. ”
"It's also a loss to be in Gensokyo, if you behave like this in the outside world, you will be despised." Hisali couldn't laugh or cry, Rikako's love for science has reached an incredible level, if she was born in the outside world, she might become a great scientist, but it's a pity that she was born in Gensokyo, and the scientific theories that can be summarized in it may not be able to write less than a hundred pages, so it's no wonder that Rikako is so out of shape.
"I..."Rikako looked up in embarrassment: "Why can't I read it?" ”
"Gensokyo is a place that violates common sense, not to mention studying the origin of life here for more than ten years, it is not easy to understand this book after hundreds of years of research, and the direction is completely opposite" Hisali said: "In fact, this book is Darwin's conclusion from a purely rational point of view, will he believe that there is really a god in this world?" Even if I tell him that the head maid next to me is my alchemical creation, he won't believe it, so there are some paradoxes in many books here, for them to explore the nature of the world step by step, this is very admirable, you can also lend it to you if you want to see it, when it is up to you to decide, but I must remind you, don't blindly believe in these books, some of the theories in them are valid, you have to reach the realm of distinguishing the right and wrong of these theories, it is better to borrow a basic scientific book now, I don't have that kind of book here. ”
"I know, I just flipped through these books, "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", "Theory of the Movement of Celestial Bodies" and this "Origin of Species", most of the theories in these books I haven't studied their foundations, I think I know what to do next, although the basic books are hard to find, but I believe I can find them, uh, can I borrow these three books and read them? A few theories can still be understood. ”
"Of course you can, but what I want to say is that there is no need to hate demons at all, occultism and science are both methods of studying the nature of the world, but it is more difficult to study scientific phenomena in Gensokyo, of course, it is not difficult to only study technology related to industry like Kappa, but it will be difficult to study the field of life, astronomy, and nature, and the enchantment will affect even the starlight," Hisari said: "But as far as I understand, it is easier to get closer to the essence of the world by studying the occult in Gensokyo." ”
"Got it, thank you, Miss Hisali, I'll go home now, goodbye." Rikako excitedly bids farewell to Hisari.
"Goodbye then, Rest, and Miss Rikako."
"Yes, Sisari-sama." Fuster led Amakura out with Rikako Asakura.
Now that only Minro was left, Hisali turned to look at her meaningfully.
"Mingluo, I've heard Reimu mention you, I guess you've 'discovered' the door to a new world?"
Mingluo's face flushed when he heard this: "Don't laugh, I'm a woman, how can I like her..."
