Chapter 20: The Countess's Magic Pocket
"Science will never leave, he will only stand in the sky and never stop talking, that is his way of being. ”
Magellan did not like science, nor did he like the Holy See, he was an unbeliever, but he was not without faith, and sometimes Magellan had a strange feeling that he was no different from the believers.
"I wonder why you, not only the Holy See, but all believers, believe in science in this world where essences, supernatural powers, and even other gods exist?"
"You can't live without faith, and everybody chooses to believe in something that will never change, but you choose something that I can't understand. Dantès's face showed a real and subtle emotion, which made Magellan believe that what he was seeing now was the true face of this chameleon, "What do you believe?"
"The right thing, the truth, includes the phenomena that really exist and the laws that control everything behind it, and ...... Humanity itself. ”
"In this world where there are essences, supernatural powers, and even gods, including science, do you say that you believe in the truth of all existence, but do you not believe in science?"
Magellan smiled.
"Science is only part of the story, and it's not even the law behind it, so I don't believe in him. ”
"What you have experienced is not the fault of science, it is from the human beings you believe in," Dantès's eyes showed a pure pity, "only science can make that happen again, the final judgment is near, and true salvation is not far away." ”
"Do you think I'm the kind of kid who complains about the world because I didn't have a good life as a child?" Magellan shook his head helplessly, "There's nothing about my past that displeased me. ”
"Abandoned by his family since childhood, the administrators in the orphanage are rough and greedy, your companions grew up in darkness, and when you crawl out of hell, you betray all your companions in your first adventure......" Dantès said, making Magellan feel a little pitiful for him, "You never believed in anyone but yourself, never respected any gods and powers above humans, but all misfortunes in this world will end forever, and it is science that brings light." ”
What Dantès said was true, but Magellan never had the idea that he was pitiful or that the world was dark because of these experiences.
Ever since he had a memory, everything he did was his own choice, all the difficulties he encountered were trampled underfoot, he did not fear the gods because he knew what the power of true terror was, he never complained, because he firmly believed that he was different from everyone else in this world.
The only reason Magellan is what he is like is that he himself chose to be like this.
"It sounds as if you're the one who has met the unfortunate......" Magellan laughed, not seeing a shadow in Dantes' eyes, "I have no resentment about everything that has happened to me." ”
"I'm not complaining to the world, it's just that a truly noble person, when he sees tragedy happening, misfortune exists, he will try to change all that. ”
"And in your opinion, the way to change is to believe in science......"
Magellan doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, and anyone has the right to choose.
"No...... Science is gone. ”
Dantes gave a melancholy smile, and at that moment, she removed all her disguises and revealed the face of an ordinary person.
"Don't worry, what's really valuable about this world is that if you want to do something, you can have countless options. Magellan remembered his own experience a long, long time ago, "Only man himself can save humanity." ”
"I'm trying to think like you. ”
......
"So in the end, because of the decisiveness of the great explorer Magellan, "the countess would never tease Magellan because of natural disasters that could not be affected by manpower, she would only choose the absolutely right direction every time," and we even threw away the relics left with the villagers. ”
"I'm sorry. ”
Although Magellan had already examined those things himself, he was not sure that his judgment that these artifacts were of no value was absolutely correct.
"Even though you're an explorer this time, I'm looking forward to your knowledge of history, Professor Magellan. ”
"Say, ma'am," Magellan knew that the countess would not waste her time on things that didn't make sense, and if she was complaining, it was only possible that Helen wanted to take advantage of your guilt, "whatever you want me to do, I'm more than happy to oblige." ”
"This. ”
The countess has a very complex magical object in her hand, as always, powered by essences, and looks gorgeous.
They were two magical objects nested together, with Magellan's familiar metal orb in the center and a crystal ball on the outside that looked very bright.
Although it is not very large, the combination of the ball and the crystal makes this crystal ball particularly gorgeous, the intricate and brilliant metal brings a layer of pure elegance under the cover of the crystal, and the crystal is particularly dazzling against the colorful metal reflection.
"What is this?"
"Just look at it. ”
The countess said as she stood up and walked to the captain's quarters and put the crystal ball into a basin of water.
The three of Magellan leaned over and saw a cloud of essence spreading silently in the water.
Everywhere the turbulence went, dense bubbles floated underwater, but strangely enough, the bubbles did not rise to the surface, but wobbled and hovered in the water.
When the fluctuations of the essence subsided, what appeared in front of the four of them was a three-dimensional picture of bubbles underwater.
"Ruins?"
"Yes," said the Countess, who loved to see others marvel at her endless array of wonderful magical objects, so Magellan did not suppress his emotions every time, and his natural surprise was usually just what the Countess wanted, "You've seen it before, haven't you?"
"The magic item that went through the underground?"
"As you can see, this is the ruin we want to excavate. The countess was pleased with Magellan's reaction, so she didn't waste time, "This is the last image you left from your detection before the sandstorm came, and at the moment, even if we enter the ruins, we won't get much more than you can see from here." ”
Magellan shook his head helplessly: "I've seen it, and there is almost nothing useful on it." ”
"Now you have more time, and this is the only loot we have in the Oasis. ”
The countess waved her hand slightly, and an enlarged projection fell from the ceiling of the room.
"Don't miss anything. ”
