Alexander Boy was exercising in his room today.

There is no practical significance, after all, for the Heroic Spirit, their combat effectiveness depends on their own efforts during their lifetime. For the Servant, his combat power depends on the strength of the demon and the strength of his spiritual base.

Exercise? Nothing will work. It's just pure consciousness, as if you will become stronger after exercising. In fact, everyone who is a servant will not become stronger, and the only role of training is probably to keep the body in a state of imminent combat, and it will not be too lax, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of consciousness.

Yagi Yukisai and Matthew are sub-followers, because part of their bodies are still humans, so can they still exercise? Maybe you will grow from exercising? But that's the scope of scholars, not Alexander's strategists.

The reason Alexander exercised himself was simply because of [habit].

When I was a teenager, I would exercise when I had time, let my body sweat, and when I was slightly tired, I would turn two pages of "The Iliad" to read.

He was very fond of the book "The Iliad".

It's better to say that it has reached the point where you can't release the volume.

He once jokingly said to someone that if you suddenly recall a certain episode, you must read it on the spot. If you hold a sword in your right hand, read it with your left hand, and if you are fighting, ask someone around you to read it to you.

From this joke, you can see his love for the "Iliad".

After all, for the people of Alexander's time, heroes, especially those of mythology, always made people's hearts yearn for them, and their hearts swelled. During the Trojan War, Achilles' bravery deeply inspired him in his youth and even in his mature age.

This is just like the Chinese like the Three Kingdoms era, the Japanese like the Warring States era, everyone once fantasized about a certain era of galloping on the chaotic frontier to kill the enemy, make achievements, and finally achieve their own hegemony.

Well, Alexander worshipped Achilles, the great hero of the Trojan War, and this is also a matter of course, right?

Whenever I read his works, I always flashed his figure in front of my eyes.

"Hmm...... Speaking of which, what was the Iliad like in this era? ”

He put down the book of the Iliad that he had brought with him.

Rather than a book, it is more appropriate to describe it as a practical scroll.

Because I have flipped through it so many times, the corners and corners have almost broken.

So, it suddenly occurred to him that in modern times, this book will definitely not be unknown, right? And it can't be a manuscript or something, right? I wonder if I can find the hardcover version of the Iliad?

With this in mind, Alexander rushed to the Chaldean archives.

The person in charge of managing the archives is called Amamiya Tsuki, as the name suggests, she is Japanese, with black braids and glasses, giving people the stereotype of "Ah, this person seems to be my squad leader".

By the way, because of this appearance, her nickname in Chaldea is [squad leader], which was given by Yagi Yusai.

By the way, this is also the reason why she and Yagi Yukisai don't have a good relationship.

Alexander rushed all the way here and pushed open the door to the archives.

"Excuse me, is there an Iliad?"

Alexander's hearty voice echoed.

Looking up from the terminal, Ms. Amamiya nodded, "Yes." ”

She was probably the least out of tune with the whole Chaldean atmosphere.

After all, her position is in this archive, recording, collecting, and organizing materials.

The Chaldees were originally a large organization of 400 people, and how much time did it take for such an organization to exchange, sort, and classify information in a day?

To put it bluntly, there were originally more than a dozen staff members in the archives, and even then, it took six hours a day to work six hours a day without a break to archive all yesterday's materials. Yes, yesterday's information.

After a good night's sleep, continue to spend six hours sorting out the files that have become [yesterday].

Originally, Leif's Chaldean blasting plan also included them, but because Amamiya Moon was born in Japan, this small country in the Far East was not favored by the European magicians who claimed to be nobles in Chaldea, and several people went to talk and laugh by themselves, and pushed the finishing work to her.

Thanks to this, she was in complete security in the archives when the Chaldea exploded...... Nothing at all...... I was startled just by hearing a bang, something else? It's okay. It's business as usual.

To be honest, deep down, she is quite grateful to Leif for this bombing, at least her work task is much lighter.

The man in front of her was Alexander, whom she had heard from the rest of the Chaldeans.

Skillfully operating the terminal, Amamiya retrieved the Iliad from the archives.

A blue-and-white window pops open with a brush-and-pull in the air, and the words inside roll and unfold.

"What style do you want?"

"Ah...... It's not a physical book......"

Alexander's face collapsed suddenly.

He just thought that now that science is developed, technology is developed, and materials are abundant, the new version of "The Iliad" must be very handsome, right? It turned out that this was not the case at all. Because it's too developed, people use e-books directly!

That's right, the myths, histories and legends of all countries in the world, add up to so many documents, where can a little Chaldea fit? Only some basic information is collected here and stored in the form of a physical book, and more information is in electronic form.

This kind of thing...... Alexander was not used to it. I always feel that this thing is far from the [feel] of reading, and there is no feeling of reading at all.

Maybe it's because the disappointment on his face is so clear? Amamiya asked:

"Want a physical book?"

"Yes!"

"Don't you realize that e-books are easy to carry and save paper, and you can also use fragmented time?"

"Nope. It's better to say that if you can't turn the pages by hand, it's not called reading, right? Speaking of which, if there are a lot of books over there in Yagi, I'll ask, thank you, Miss! ”

Alexander, who came in a hurry, went again in a hurry.

As he joked before, he is the type who has a very strong desire and once he wants something, he has to get it at the time. Now what he wants is a printed version of the Iliad.

And then...... Naturally, there is no Iliad in Yagi Yukisai's room.

Although Yagi Yukisai is an otaku, but not so hardcore, the books he collects, are basically light, comics and comic exhibitions, generally thin books of more than ten or twenty pages. He's not the type to spend money on classics, but also foreign classics.

When I was in the second year of secondary school, I bought "The Biography of Napoleon" and imagined that I could become Napoleon to conquer the Quartet, but I found that the autobiography was far from the same, and after reading about a third of the way, I was not interested in continuing to read dry texts, and ran to play the total war...... It's really a tearless reading history.

Alexander did not hide the helplessness on his face, and now he had no choice but to go back to his room and continue to read his Iliad.

When he returned to the room, the blue and white squares on the table suddenly attracted his attention, and he hadn't been there when he left.

It is a delicately decorated book, with a white background, a simple pattern outlined in blue on the hard-shell cover, and the middle and upper part are written in a rigorous printing style with the words "ΙΛΙΑΣ (Iliad)".

"Oooh! That's it! That's what Yu wants! Great! Twenty-first century! I don't know who gave Yu the tribute! But great! ”

Then, there is the sound of flipping through the books.

In the hallway, someone listened to Alexander's ecstatic voice, laughed, and the footsteps clicked away.
