56.The Black Rabbit (4)
Provocation, it's not a lot, but Xi'er's words are too targeted, it's like grabbing the sore spot that others deliberately want to cover, and a few punches along the way. Price's gaze quickly stopped on Cier. Of course, it's hard to see anything from such a distance just by observing, and in Price's eyes, the current Ciel must be just a "suspicious figure in a wheelchair dressed as a maid".
"Are you ......?"
"Just an investor. Ciel shook the invitation in her hand, as if to prove her "legitimate" status, "I want to know more than invest in your research...... Can I get a corresponding return on my efforts? It's a bit rude, but that's why I'm here. ”
The hall immediately fell silent, and perhaps some of the guests did not feel anything about Xi'er's words, but like Xi'er, the "financiers" who rely on "capital" to invest can be said to be concerned about almost the same things as Xi'er's questions. No one will put their own efforts for him because of the identity and status of the other party, these veteran businessmen are concerned about the long-term and safer interests.
So, at the very least, you need to get a credible statement, or convincing evidence. Investors who are not high-status, but have most of the financial resources, seem to be so silently urging Price. And the initiator of all this shrank up early with a smile and commanded Alice to change positions.
"I see, it was indeed my mistake. Let me explain, then, what kind of resistance our investigators encountered. ”
And didn't hesitate too much. Price, who seemed to be strong enough to stabilize the situation, quickly adjusted. Although statements that do not correspond to the facts need to be compiled. But that doesn't preclude a little more information from being revealed.
Like what......
"I'm sure everyone has more or less watched some movies and TV shows related to the 'magic' we know. Not the ones that resemble our magicians...... Flames, hurricanes, etc., but more magical and incredible 'magic'. The sudden appearance of a human-like warrior who is not old or tireless can suddenly change the position of the trees in an entire forest, forming them into a moving labyrinth...... Our investigators are confronted by a group of inhabitants whose possessors are incomprehensible to power. ”
Looking around, Price's "bluffing" also deservedly got the result he wanted. Ordinary people who don't know much about magicians, or know very little. It is inevitable to feel instinctive nervousness and interest in this group of creatures that are different from "humans".
And this ...... This is an opportunity that can be seized.
"Therefore, in order to be able to further observe the situation of that mysterious land, and to be able to make appropriate resistance when 'forced to do so'. I combined the uniqueness of our magic envoy with the power of technology to design a ...... that can not only move quickly and stealthily, but also resist all kinds of 'magic'."
Here it comes!
The most important "thing" of this presentation seems to be to introduce the iron lump that looks like a chariot, but is definitely better than the chariot in my own perception. The image that suddenly reflected on the white wall is no longer important, and the pair of iron bumps are actually nothing special when they are used to seeing them, what matters is ......
This is Professor Price's idea of what he calls an "anti-magic fortress". Even if it is only at the stage of conceiving design and theory, it is ...... Alice could already sense that something was wrong.
First of all. It is too large and relies on material energy to levitate and move forward in the air for long periods of time. Even if you fall to the ground for some reason, there is a way to move on land.
Large, bulky things may look like moving targets in the eyes of some magicians, but it has to be said that sometimes they are large and are the nemesis of many types of magic. In the case of Irina, if she is facing an opponent of the same "heavyweight", then the hordes of summons she summons will inevitably dominate the fight from the start. Can...... If her opponent turns into a "giant machine" this time, no matter how many summons there are, no matter how high her intelligence is, it will be useless. After all...... There are some things that can't be broken by teeth or smashed with fists.
Secondly, although the specific principle is not very clear, it is easy to understand from Price's subsequent introduction...... In order to resist the large "elemental" magic, the large iron lump uses some kind of "shell" that can absorb magic, and at the same time absorb magic, it can also convert it into its own energy.
It's so weird that it's a bit tricky.,But it's not hard to agree with yourself.。 Letty, the sword of the goose has such an effect, absorbing and ejecting all magic, so that as long as she does not suffer "physical" damage, she can be said to be the nemesis of all magicians. And now this Price actually uses this kind of "magic", which is really a bit ...... Suspicious.
"One last bit!"
Price, who kept explaining, naturally didn't notice the "strangeness" of a small number of guests, and he seemed to have completely entered his own world after accidentally bringing an occupational disease, "In order to be able to explore more efficiently, in addition to the main body, I also made some ideas for small flying machines." These aircraft, except for their small size, have all the characteristics of the main fort, and have the defensive measures that have been researched from magic technology, and ......"
It seems a little unpleasant, although this man is a little irritating in the sense of plunging headlong into his own world, but judging from his identity and the theories he proposes, it is definitely not groundless. In the month that I have been here, although I have only glimpsed a corner of the "outside", many magical technologies that I didn't dare to think about before do exist and are used by people.
Ordinary people can still use such a terrifying technology, so naturally there is no need to mention these researchers who specialize in "technology", if this researcher adds the title of "magician...... So whatever fantasy he comes up with, it will definitely be realized over time, and what is missing now is the most basic "money", which is also the purpose of this presentation.
Other than that...... Price is it? How much does this guy know about the magician, and every feature of this iron lump he introduced is dead to the magic of some of the magicians. And when these traits are combined, it becomes the natural enemy of all magicians.
No, this is completely beyond the level of "investigation" and "internal response", it is almost like ...... Price lived in fairy tales and studied and studied. This is the only way to fully understand the situation of the magicians and to design such a targeted thing. I really don't know whether to regret or rejoice, if I hadn't listened to Xi'er's advice and followed her here, I wouldn't be uneasy and nervous about Price's theory now. But...... It is precisely because I came here, saw with my own eyes, and heard Price's "theory" with my own ears that I know what kind of terrible threat the magic envoys and that beautiful land will face in the near future.
This vision must not be allowed to come to fruition. Yes...... No, compared to these, this Professor Price should be the ultimate enemy, as long as he still exists, he can still study, then the danger of the magic envoy will not be lifted for a day.
What to do...... Although he is just a selfless speech now, the guards who don't seem to be simple are paying full attention to the situation of the guests, and the slightest change may not escape their eyes, and it is still too difficult and dangerous to be a hero.
That...... But once the presentation is over, you will lose the closest opportunity to destroy the "threat."
Well, by the way, Teacher Goni of the Magic Society is also here...... Ah, no, it's better not to look for her deliberately. She must not have come here to listen to a speech, but why is there still no movement when the presentation is almost over?
Or is it ...... With a calm heart, she has already prepared, just waiting for that moment to come? )
