After that, the conversation quickly ended in the heat of the leader.

After the regent announced that he had received the answer he wanted from this "fruitful conversation," the Prophet Natas left a few riddles that presumably meant "You should examine yourselves more" and left with great interest; After a few words of concern about the original casting operation that the think tank was about to undergo, Killiman also let him go back to his original position.

Fujimaru Rika also wanted to slip away, but her words "Then I'll ...... too" had just come out of her mouth, and another majestic sentence had already caught up with her: "Fujimaru Rika, you stay for a while, I want to talk to you alone." ”

The wording, which sounded too much like a precursor to the dean's fury, made the Crowned Master instinctively wince. But after thinking about it, she really hadn't been in trouble lately, and after making sure that everyone else but Arjuna had left, she turned around with confidence, and a hungry tiger pounced on it, and took an apple and peach out of the fruit bowl.

Facing Rika Fujimaru, whose face was full of words that said "overtime pay will be paid during processing", Kiliman was sad, angry, and amused. He waved his hand casually, signaling that the other party was completely free to do so, and then Fujimaru Rika happily handed the fruit to Arjuna, and while he waited to peel it, he dragged a chair large enough from a little farther away, and also sat down opposite the coffee table.

He'd seen how strong Arjuna could be on the battlefield. For Killiman, the scene of Arjuna peeling fruit actually gave him a sense of magical reality of "using the Shadow Sword to make a construction vehicle". But that's not his primary concern right now.

"So, when he was on the battlefield, what Motarian said was actually true?" He chose to get straight to the point, "You're really my father—"

"-Stop!" Fujimaru Rika directly crossed her chest with both hands to strengthen her tone, "That's not the case!" My own parents are both alive and well—presumably—and I have no interest in joining the Emperor's galactic family ethics drama in person! ”

It was only after she was pressured to say that she realized something was wrong: it seemed that she had been on the credits of the family ethics drama since she had been forced to become a psychiatrist for Conrad Coetzes, or rather, a resocialization trainer.

"I mean, I deny any kind of kinship to the Emperor or to the Primordial." She urgently added to this, and by the way, she took the cut piece of fruit from Arjuna's hand, "It is easy to see that in all senses, I am just an ordinary human who has not been transformed in any sense. Even I am a little more vulnerable in terms of basic conditions than the 'ordinary people' who were born naturally in this era. ”

"We don't generally call people who can cause 'miracles' and decide the success or failure of a battle 'ordinary people.'" Kiliman was skeptical, "It seems to me that you may have experienced some psionic transformation from the throne that I don't understand, and as a result, you have gained an extraordinary advantage in channeling the 'Imperial Psionic Energy'. The rest is a side effect of this transformation. ”

"That's not the case. When it comes to 'psionic transformation', I can't really say that I haven't experienced it, but it has nothing to do with the emperor...... Let me think about how to explain it. She took two bites of fruit in the middle of this thought, and then continued, "I have to start from scratch when I think about it: I am actually a person who has 'drifted' from another world. ”

Killiman visibly raised his eyebrows: "You'd better tell the truth. ”

"If the Emperor wants me to keep it a secret, I will tell you directly that I can't say it; Also, I have reason to suspect that you're using this to question my ability to make up nonsense. Fujimaru Rika angrily used the half-left piece of fruit in her hand to point at the Imperial Regent, "If I really want to make it up, of course I'll make up a reasonable statement, instead of telling you this fact that sounds like it's all nonsense - the story needs logic, but reality doesn't." ”

"Okay, you go ahead."

Although the Lord of Otlama said this, there was still a clear look of distrust on his face. This made Fujimaru Rika eat the fruit from Otrama in a fit of anger before continuing:

"The antecedents are very long, so I won't mention them here." She took the second slice of apple and peach from Arjuna's hand, "In short, in order to successfully survive this 'drift', I have accepted the transformation of the third method. This is to prepare me for access to knowledge that is 'beyond the universe' and that 'humans should not understand'.

"A little background: in my original universe, the 'third magic' referred to the 'materialization of the soul', which is cumbersome to explain in detail, so it can be simply understood as 'the magic that makes humans immortal'. If it is a true 'finished product' of the third dharma, the body should be able to freely transform into any shape, shape, or object, and at the same time, it will gain endless magical power due to the perpetual motion of the soul, at the cost of becoming desireless.

"For me, it's not okay to 'become desireless'. I have to move on with a purpose, but of course there are other reasons for cost and preparation...... In short, the 'third magic' I received was only a degraded version of it, and it fixed my spirit, body, and soul at the moment I received the ritual. Even if I didn't achieve true 'immortality', my 'time' would have been frozen forever at that moment, and no matter if it was another ten or twenty years, I wouldn't grow up naturally, and I wouldn't have died naturally because of things like self-decay of my function—even if I had been killed, I would have died. ”

“…… I see, that's in line with what Motarian said. Determined to believe all this, Kiliman pondered, "Is this how the Emperor's psionic power can affect reality through you?" ”

With an inexplicable expression, Rika Fujimaru bit the fruit slice and thought for two seconds before saying vaguely: "I remember, he seems to have said this." But I must say that although he is inexplicably sensitive, he has a magical ability to reason by stitching two completely unrelated things together and still making sense. ”

"But it's not logical." Killiman retorted, "I've heard Digris's report, so I know what is going on with that 'saint' girl you recruited in Pameño. In the report of the director of the think tank, she is because she is a psionic herself, and at the same time, the band of her power is very rare and highly compatible with the emperor himself, so she can resonate through psionic energy to 'appear in front of people'. But you're not even a psyker. If it's not because of some kind of transformation, then why can he use you to exert his power? ”

Fujimaru Rika finished eating the fruit in her hand before replying unhurriedly: "I admit that I am a little special in this regard, but this really has nothing to do with the emperor. If I want to delve into this issue, my 'specialness' in this area comes mainly from the antecedents of 'drifting' that I haven't mentioned before, plus a little bit of magic tricks. Any person who has experienced all of the above with a little magical talent can probably become the carrier of the emperor's spiritual energy through the 'corresponding' means of magic. ”

Kiliman became vigilant: "You mean, this is not an isolated case? ”

"Theoretically it can be replicated, but in practice I don't recommend it." Shaking her head, Rika Fujimaru explained, "The point of this matter is not the final 'corresponding', but 'the conditions for achieving this 'corresponding'. In magic, it's even an entry-level concept, meaning 'if A and B are similar enough in multiple senses, then they can be connected by magic and A can be treated as B'.

"By establishing this connection, we can use it directly to communicate and transmit psionic energy remotely. Although the Emperor's psionic powers are very violent, if I am considered to be 'Emperor' in a sense when I use them, then 'The Emperor's psionic energy should not cause damage to the Emperor himself', and I can get a very large damage immunity from this.

"But the key to this connection is to construct conditions that are 'similar enough in multiple senses.'" Generally speaking, the more conditions that can be met, the more similar the two are, and the stronger the bond will be - if you want to have enough 'correspondence' with the Emperor, you may at least have to be a 'savior who has saved humanity'. I think. ”

Killiman didn't speak. He might need a moment to digest the information he had just heard. Rika Fujimaru didn't rush, just took the third piece of fruit and ate it - until she realized that the Imperial Regent was staring at her wheelchair.

She had a sudden sense of foreboding, and felt the need for an urgent declaration:

"It's okay with this! You are not allowed to think wildly! She patted the armrest of her wheelchair a little angrily, "This is temporary!" I can't really stand up, either! You can't have strange associations just because the emperor is on the golden throne and I'm in a wheelchair! This kind of vague resemblance will not work at all in magic! ”

Killiman looked away a little distractedly.
