Chapter 001: The Name of Undsworth
"II. Mr. Shi, I want to take a leave of absence!"
In one of the offices, a 10-year-old young student named Roy Undsworth asked for leave as soon as he walked through the door.
The man he called "II" had a cigar in his mouth, and he was not quite accustomed to smoking, and corrected helplessly:
"What kind of name is 'Teacher II.', it's Ermelo II.!"
Roy had a serious thinking expression:
"Recently, when everyone calls the teacher 'Monarch Ermero', the teacher has to emphasize that it is 'II. Shi', and I think that you prefer the name 'Ermero' to 'II.Shi'."
The long-haired man who calls himself "Ermelo II" rubs his temples and relieves his headache:
"How can you take out the 'II. World' alone, Roy, are you going to make fun of me? Tell me, what's going on this time, why do you want to take a leave of absence? How long will it take? ”
The latter replied very solemnly:
"There are some new magic experiments that I want to study, and it may take several months, so I need to take a leave of absence, not only on the teacher's side, but also on the entire basic department."
This place is the territory of the Modern Magic Department (Noligi) under the famous clock tower in the magic world, and the man in front of him is the head of the Modern Magic Department, formerly known as Weber Velwitt, and the current monarch Ermelo is also.
After returning from the Fourth Holy Grail War, he had only been teaching for more than three years, and he had only become a "monarch" for just over three months, and he himself asked to add the title of "II" after "Ermero" because he considered himself unqualified compared to the previous monarch of Ermero.
One of his first students happened to be a time-traveler, 10-year-old Roy Undsworth.
Ten years ago, a mysterious artifact called the "Holy Grail" carried a soul from a certain plane of Earth and was reincarnated into the Undsworth family, a family of magicians that had declined.
Among the countless parallel worlds of FATE, Engsworth's name is revealed, only the world of "Moyi" that Pandora's box has not opened, and in other worlds, Pandora's box has been opened, the ancestor of the Engseworth family thousands of years ago has not met Pandora, and there is no obsession attached to generations of children and grandchildren, and it is not uncommon for Engsworth, an ancient family with an ancient heritage, to decline or even disappear.
The same is true of this world, the Undsworth family, which originated in Europe, has long since declined, the population is scarce, sold its property, moved to China more than 100 years ago, began to intermarry with the Chinese, and the family gradually stopped focusing on magic, and transformed from magicians to magicians.
Until the nineties of the twentieth century, there was only one person left in the already scarce population who still practiced magic, and that was Roy's father, Roy's mother was an ordinary person with a magic circuit, and she herself had nothing to do with magic.
As the child of the two, Roy's magic circuits are not bad in quantity and quality, but they can't compare to some of the geniuses of the clock tower.
If you have to say it, it is somewhat similar to Julian Undsworth in another timeline, with a Western name and an oriental appearance, although in terms of qualifications, Roy is better than Julian, and can be compared to Julian's sister Angelica Undsworth.
Roy didn't awaken the memories of his past life from the beginning.
What it's like to travel to the fetus.
Consider how thinking comes about.
One neuron generates electrical signals, which are transmitted to the next nerve through electrical and chemical synapses, and billions of nerves work together to produce a cluster of signals that form the consciousness of living beings.
In a certain sense, thought is the process of storing, processing, calling, and computing a series of signals, and this process relies on nerves, and modern artificial intelligence is also based on this idea, trying to make machines have human thinking.
Magicians in pursuit of mysteries, especially those of the Atlas Academy, generally believe that human beings are made up of body, soul, and spirit.
The spirit depends on the body, that is, the brain, in order to function properly, and of course, if there is an excellent magic costume of calculus, it can also be separated from the body.
If it is separated from the body and only uses the soul as a carrier to carry information and transmit signals, this kind of thing is generally called a "ghost" or "residual thoughts", which belongs to the scope of necromantic magic.
This is why in many haunted places, electrical appliances are the first to suffer when spirits are active. The resonance of the signal is just a phenomenon of Faraday electromagnetic induction.
So back to the question just now, what does it feel like to cross into a fetus.
Again, let's ask another question first, how will the ios13 system run on the iPhone 1.
Will it be better than the original system that came with the iPhone 1?
The answer is no, and you can't even start it.
Fortunately, when the system can't start, there is also the option of factory reset, delete the ios13 installation package, and restart the iPhone1 installation package.
Reincarnation is the same, the soul and body are combined, but the body can't bear a lot of mental information, and the brain that has not fully developed cannot store this information for a long time, so deleting these "installation packages" that can't run and restarting them is the best choice for the brain.
Even though the soul is still the soul before rebirth, the spirit has been rebuilt from scratch.
Forget about your past life and start over.
In some systems, this process is also known as "the mystery of the womb".
Although the body is the carrier of the spirit, the soul can also carry the spirit, and this is the case with the heroic spirit. It's just that for living people, this mechanism is rarely used.
After the original spirit is "deleted", there will be some "fragments" left in the depths of the soul.
Just as files are deleted from the computer's trash bin and can be recovered by some special means, fragments of information stored in the soul that have been deleted may occasionally surface.
Occasionally, I feel that a certain scene is familiar, I feel that someone has not seen it but feels familiar, and sometimes I read the "fragments" of those memories stored in the soul.
This type of phenomenon is known as the "sense of déjà vu".
If there is a lot of information retained in the soul, sometimes there will be a phenomenon of "Su Hui".
Of course, in general, most of the information is lost due to "hardware" problems.
Unless there is some secret treasure in the soul that stores consciousness, such as the "Holy Grail" in the depths of Roy's soul.
Originally, the consciousness backed up in the Holy Grail may not awaken for the rest of his life, and Roy may have lived an ordinary life as "Roy Undsworth", but it was not until 1994 that there was an accident.
Roy's father who was a businessman saw a business opportunity and worked as a "contractor" for foreign laborers, and in a considerable period of time after the opening up, there were many Chinese who worked abroad, and Roy's father was responsible for taking on various projects, holding the idea of wealth and danger, and undertook the business in Iraq for a long time, and temporarily moved to Iraq with his wife and son, and used the surname of Undsworth openly.
The second Gulf War was in 2003, although Iraq after the first Gulf War was also a powder keg, but without the large-scale long-term involvement of the US military, it was not as dangerous as after the second Gulf War.
This magician's name is Balzan, who has the magic eye of the stop system, and secretly develops the underground ruins of what is suspected to be the Iskandar mausoleum, and after being discovered by the contractor team, he has the intention of extinguishing his mouth, and discovers that the Undsworth family is a magician, in order to prevent his actions from being exposed to the clock tower, he uses the magic eye to shade the family, and kidnaps him back to prepare for the development of the ruins as a sacrifice.
After sacrificing Roy's parents, when the 7-year-old Roy was being sacrificed, the Holy Grail in the depths of Roy's soul suddenly transmitted a large amount of magic power to his body through his soul, replenishing the life force that was devoured during the sacrifice and delaying Roy's death.
At this time, the two magicians of the clock tower, Webb Vervis and Melvin Wiinz, who were also kidnapped, teamed up to cause the entire magic workshop to riot, ending the ritual and destroying the workshop, Balzan also died at the hands of the rampaging undead, and the dying Roy was rescued by the two who were fleeing.
What they don't know is that Roy, who was rescued, has undergone a metamorphosis in a coma.
Because the life force was plundered during the sacrificial ritual, the Holy Grail transmitted a large amount of magic power to every part of the body through the magic circuit, replenishing the vitality and accelerating the regeneration, although this process did not increase the number of magic circuits, but improved the quality of the magic circuit to a first-class level, making Roy's magician qualification reborn.
The number of magic circuits is small, but the typical representative of high quality is the crown puppeteer Orange Aosaki.
During the sacrifice, the seven-year-old child almost broke down, and with the help of the Holy Grail, this time there was no "factory reset", but "One-click Ghost", the spirit of the previous life saved in the Holy Grail, as a "backup" and "upgrade package", loaded on the body that was already able to carry these memories.
At the age of seven, Roy's spirits from the two lives merged and he was officially reborn as a new individual.
After being rescued, Roy, who sorted out his memories, expressed his gratitude to the two life-savers, and Melvin, who was a lawyer, helped find Roy's father's body after learning that the child was also a family magician, and transplanted the magic mark of the Engseworth family to him.
As a result of the sacrifice, the engraving of the House of Undsworth was damaged by more than 30%, and Roy inherited the remainder, and Roy entrusted the damaged part to Melvin for repair.
At this time, Weber borrowed a large amount of money from Melvin after escaping the danger, and decided to go back to London to buy the Ermelo classroom of the deceased teacher Kenneth, and pass on the classroom.
On Roy's side, because there are not many people in the Engzworth family, and only Roy's father is still studying magic, even if he goes back now, he can't get any magic help, plus he knows Weber's teaching ability in advance from the memory of his previous life, so he posted it at this time and proposed to apprentice.
Weber, who had just made up his mind to go back to become a teacher, took the disciple in and took him back to London, where he became Roy's guardian and magic guide after a series of complicated procedures, and Roy became Weber's founding disciple.
The wheels of history began to turn at this time, and Roy's life in the classroom of Ermeiro began.
