089 Death of Alec
"My father sought what was eternal and unchanging." Mary said, with an indescribable loneliness in her eyes.
In her heart, her father, in order to pursue magic, simply regarded the family as nothing, much cold-blooded than other magicians, like an emotionless robot or a killer.
Therefore, she looked at Webb with great certainty and said, "I had no doubts about my father's thoughts, and I believed in him until I met my teacher." ”
"Me?" Webb raised his eyebrows, stunned.
Nodding, Mary held up a finger and said, as Webb had done when he stood on the podium and taught his students:
"In ancient times, the stars were thought to be eternal things, but it wasn't until modern times that we learned that this was not the case."
Weber's expression showed a hint of pleasure, and he added: "Even the Heavenly Movement Theory, which has been deeply believed for many years as the premise of celestial magic, as you say, has been completely overturned after the seventeenth century. ”
"Yes, even the brilliance of the stars is not eternal."
After that, the two said this sentence in unison, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"What a teacher." Mary sighed.
The man in front of her was not a few years older than her, but he had an unattainable attainment in modern magic, if it wasn't for his class back then, just based on hearsay, she wouldn't have believed it, the man in front of her was the only son of a magic family that had only been passed down for three generations.
It can be said that Weber can have today, basically on his own.
According to rumors, Webb was a rebellious waste youth when he was a student of Kenneth Azibald in the Clock Tower, and he only went to Fuyuki City in the Far East for half a year, and after participating in the Holy Grail War, it was like a different person, and his magic strength jumped from the beggar level to the level of Tianjiao, a famous demon family.
If the Holy Grail War was really a petty fight ritual for second-rate magicians, as the Magic Association recognized, Weber would never have achieved what he is today, and he would never have held the Holy Grail War in such respect.
Thinking of this, Mary suddenly asked curiously:
"Teacher, you said before that the daughter of the Tosaka family came to London, and she still brought a servant, do you have any intersection with the Tosaka family?"
"Ten years ago, I met Tosaka Tokitomi, the father of the eldest lady of the Tosaka family."
Webb said truthfully, "That's a very good man at magic. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, I actually want to see what the Servant is like, everyone in the Demon Dao World has a concept of the Servant making demons, but I won't go into more detail, I want to see it with my own eyes." Mary said.
"Then let's do it together, and after this is done, I'm going to visit Tosaka with my family." Weber did not refuse, readily agreed, and then continued:
"But I didn't expect you to remember every sentence of my class so clearly."
You've been excellent since then. ”
At this time, Gray, who had been standing next to her without saying a word, seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked:
"Master, I still have one thing that I am very concerned about, what is the problem in the hall?"
"Well," Webber sighed, asked the maid Claire for a standard A4 piece of paper, then took out a pen and said, "Let's sort it out now." ”
Mary, who was sitting across from her, leaned over slightly and looked at the paper Webb had placed on the table.
"I also said in class that the seven planets correspond to each structure of the human body."
As he spoke, Webb drew a circle on the paper with a pen, which to the naked eye looked like a circle drawn automatically by a computer.
I only heard him add: "There are eight planets in the solar system, but in the celestial magic of the magic world, there are only seven planets, and we will repeat this reason later, you just need to know that in the magic world today, there are still many people who use this model to arrange large enchantments." ”
Grey crouched down, looked at the circles on the paper and the symbols Webb had marked, and nodded in response.
"For example, Mars corresponds to the head, Mercury corresponds to the chest and arms, and the Sun is the heart." Webb said.
"And in the hall are the head and the body, the neck, the wrist and the heart.
As for the books in the stacks are bones and hair, in the warehouses are legs.
Found out, this is the model of Copernican heliocentrism. Webb looked at Gray and spoke.
"Yes, but you seem to have said that the way Mr. Ernest's body is arranged is different from this theory." Grey asked.
"That's right, the decisive difference is that the heart of the sun is placed in the center of the hall."
"Can't you put it in the center, the heart is also one of the most important parts."
Webber shook his head, this type of magic, usually the magician stands in the center, and the various items or props placed around the magician play the function of a ceremonial costume.
"However, in the center of the room is the heart of the corpse, so it is basically equivalent to the corpse performing magic." Webb's face became a little solemn, and he spoke, "However, Mr. Ernest is dead, unless..."
"Unless what?" Mary, who was on the other side, understood the meaning of Weber's words and hurriedly asked.
"Unless Mr. Ernest wants to become an evil spirit, to emulate the heroic spirits who were summoned in the Holy Grail War, and become a conceptual being, and thus gain eternity." Weber's words are not shocking.
Meanwhile, in the stack, which housed a large collection of Fargo books, Alec glanced at Ernest's bones and hair on the table, spat on them, and then turned his gaze to the shelves.
"Such a large number of valuable Demon Dao books, put in the library to ashes, it is really a tyrannical thing, an old immortal thing, I owe you a little money and I have to keep it, now I die, I really deserve it."
Alec lit a cigarette and sneered disdainfully as he pulled the most valuable Demon Dao books from the shelves and placed them in a large leather bag on the floor.
Alec had been eyeing this place since Ernest was still alive, and as long as he sold these magic books for money, he would be able to live a much more chic life than most magicians.
"What bullshit monarch Al Meloi, participating in a little Holy Grail War, he thinks he can do it, Lao Tzu punched him in the mouth and broke his teeth, looking for some murderer, it's really stupid."
Sitting in Ernest's chair before his death, looking at the shelves of ancient books, Alec became more and more pleasant the more he looked at it.
However, at this moment, Ernest's bones and hair, which had been placed on the table, suddenly emitted a layer of black smoke, and in the blink of an eye, it suddenly exploded and expanded, directly filling the entire room, and swooping towards Alec, who was sitting on the chair and smoking.
The blazing blood burst out, and Alec's screams stopped abruptly as soon as he was halfway out, and the whole person was dismembered on the spot, blood splashed all over half of the bookshelves, and even the high-value books that Alex took out on the ground were soaked red with blood.
