Before noon, after crossing the river Nanatsuki, Koizumi Hongzi selected the photos they wanted to keep.
Koshimizu Nanatsuki saw the flowers and plants that Hiroki Sawada had inserted into the rock crevices of the monster's body. He walked a little further with his cell phone and took a photo of Hiroki Sawada's flower arrangement as a souvenir.
Chi Feichi expelled the excess soil from his body, and returned to his original shape with Fei Chi. He asked Fei Chi to wrap it around his wrist. When he got to the relatively flat grass nearby, he used his earth power to turn a pile of stones into a stone table.
, stone bench.
Koshizu Nanatsuki and Koizumi Anko took out bottled water, processed ingredients, and seasonings from their backpacks, and put everything on the stone table.
Chi Feichi carried Sawada Hiroki to a stone bench and sat down. He also used rocks to make stone pots, stone bowls, and stone slabs. After waiting for seven months to cross the water, Koizumi Hongzi washed the tableware with bottled water and poured the bottled water into it.
Enter the stone pot and use the fire ability to heat the stone slab and stone pot.
The water in the stone pot quickly boiled. Under Chi Feichi's command, Koshizu Nanatsuki put the processed chicken, shiitake mushrooms and other seasonings into the stone pot. Koizumi Anko took out the chopsticks from her backpack.
Open a lunch box on the table, take out the marinated meat slices from the box, and place them one by one on the stone slab.
The stone slab was scalding hot due to the flames. After the fat and thin pieces of meat came into contact with the stone slab, oily flowers soon appeared, sizzling on the stone slab, and exuding the unique rich aroma of meat.
Chi Feichi, Yuesui Nantsuki, and Koizumi Anko soon sat down around the table, taking care of Sawada Hiroki, who had become a child after the Internet was disconnected, and had a pure slate-yaki meal together.
Fei Chi lay on the edge of the stone table and was fed by the four people until he was full.
After finishing the barbecue and roasted vegetables, the four of them sat together and drank chicken soup.
Koizumi Hongzi sipped the chicken soup from the stone bowl and felt the breeze blowing through the grass. She couldn't help but feel happy. She said with emotion, "The ability of the child of nature is really suitable for camping. If we want to go camping in the future, we don't need to bring a baby with us."
It’s enough to pile up a mess of tools and bring the son of nature with you..."
"After you have soil skills, camping will be much more convenient." Chi Feichi agreed with Koizumi Hongzi's words.
At first, he discovered that Koizumi Anko used the orb as an anti-acne tool and used magic to help him ask for leave from school. He also felt that Koizumi Anko's way of using magic was a bit overkill, but after he gained a bunch of abilities, he gradually began to understand Koizumi.
Red.
In this era, technology can take ordinary people to the sky and the sea, and can also provide ordinary people with powerful attack power. Technology can also do a lot of things that magic means can do originally, and it can also do it better than magic means.
better.
Modern magic is in an awkward position of neither improving nor failing.
To say that it is useless, it can bring some conveniences and advantages to life, but to say that it is useful, it does not seem to be very useful. One or two witches do not have the ability to defeat the power of technology and rule the world, even in order not to be beaten by ordinary people.
People jointly target and hunt, and witches usually keep a low profile. Even in daily life, some household appliances are more practical than magic. Those appliances are easy to operate and do not require magic power. It is easier to find someone to repair than to repair magic items yourself.
It's a lot more convenient, and there's really not much room for magic.
A person with magic is like a person who has traveled through the Middle Ages: he obviously has excellent carriage driving skills, but there are cars everywhere on the street; his sewing skills are comparable to those of masters in the Middle Ages, but the workers point out
Refers to the automated machine in the factory, which means that it can do things more accurately than you can, and it is more time-consuming and trouble-free than manual production.
; Obviously he has superb swordsmanship, but he can only gain an advantage in cold weapon battles. When he encounters an opponent with a musket, he can only fight at a loss, which is extremely frustrating; he obviously has such outstanding skills, obviously
They are also obtained with wisdom and sweat, but they seem to be unable to play a big role in this era...
This is a conflict between the individual and the development of the times.
Faced with this conflict, some people will stay in the glory of the past and feel sorry for themselves all day long. Some people will choose to completely give up old and useless knowledge and actively reshape themselves according to the characteristics of the new era. Others will adapt to the new era.
At the same time, the old knowledge is preserved as a kind of inheritance.
Marvin of the Montgomery family is a reformer. He doesn't care whether magic exists or not. As long as he knows that believing in science can make himself and his family live a better life, he decisively embraces science, while the Red Magic family chose the last option.
This is a way of coping, hoping that the heir will not only adapt to the technological era, but also inherit the magical heritage.
It is not difficult to understand why the Red Magic family made this choice.
Back then, the Red Magic family escaped from the center of the witch-hunting storm and received selfless help from Montgomery and other families. After the demise of Montgomery and other families, the Red Magic family was unable to repay their kindness even if they wanted to. As a legacy of the power of the times,
, the Red Magic Family is a tragic symbol hidden under the trend of the times. In this case, the Red Magic Family chose to retain the inheritance, probably not only for the Red Magic Family, but also for those families that perished, and for that era.
Inherit something that everyone has in common.
But the Red Magic family's choice to take care of both will inevitably put more pressure on the heirs.
This requires heirs to not only learn the knowledge of the new era and adapt to the technological era, but also learn the old knowledge passed down by the family to understand a world that is completely different from technology. In this way, the heirs will have more hardships than ordinary people and will be more likely to become confused.
When he discovers that he has paid a lot, but the return is less than expected, the heir will of course not be able to help but think about whether the persistence of his ancestors is correct, whether he should innovate the old thinking of the family, and whether magic is really possible.
Is it necessary to pass it on?
Especially Hongzi, the heir of the Red Magic family who can possess magic power. While learning both old and new knowledge, Hongzi also has to practice magic and become a real witch. She will be more confused inside than ordinary heirs.
Before meeting him, Hongzi's mentality must have swung between perseverance and giving up. Otherwise, Hongzi would not have had a heavy heart towards the status of 'witch' and 'heir of the Red Magic Family', just because of her feelings for the family.
The inherited sense of responsibility makes Hongzi always stand on the side of perseverance in action.
After meeting him, Hongzi had a fellow traveler. Even if he didn't need to work hard to practice magic, even if he and the witch didn't belong to the same type of existence, in the end his ability would probably be much stronger than the witch, but as long as they both had
An ability that belongs to the mainstream of the development of the times, his existence will be a comfort to Hongzi, making Hongzi feel that he is not the only "medieval person". With companions, people will not feel confused so easily.
In short, here in Hongzi, magic is good if it has a place to be used. Regardless of whether it is overused or not, it is a good thing if it can bring convenience. This at least proves that magic is not a useless thing, and you get benefits from your efforts, which is worth being happy about.
.
The same principle applies to him: there are not many times when you need to use your ability, so just use it when it is convenient to use it, and just use it to increase your skill proficiency.
Of course, after he obtained the earth ability, his survivability has been greatly improved. When using his ability, he does not have to be as restrained as before. In fact, as long as he protects his personal information, he can use his ability to give the world a little shock, such as playing a game
In the game of 'Gomera Lands at the Vatican Headquarters', considering that the Vatican may also have supernatural powers, he felt that it would be better to stay in the dark for the time being and try to accumulate advantages as much as possible, so he did not take any action.
His ability improvement this time actually gave him and Hongzi a hope: as long as their abilities are strong enough, the constraints imposed on them by the mainstream development of the era will also be reduced, whether it is magical power or divine power, it is useless to be weak when they are young.
, but it may not be useless once it becomes stronger.
In addition, he proposed the idea that "magic and technology promote each other's development." After Hongzi discovered that magic has many uses waiting to be developed and that magic does not stand in opposition to technology, Hongzi should no longer feel confused about the inheritance of magic.
Sometimes, confusion is also a very tormenting state. It makes people anxious and worried that they are going the wrong way, but they don't know the right way to go.
He and Hongzi are friends and "similar people" in a certain sense. If Hongzi will no longer be troubled by confusion in the future, he will also be happy for Hongzi.
