After becoming an instructor, Ling had to make some changes to her schedule. She adjusted the time to instruct Fei and Jingge from afternoon to evening classes. Ling only paid attention to the learning progress of the two disciples. As for their daily life, she
They won't care. It's their freedom to watch what kind of puppet show they like and what clothes they like to wear.
After returning to the studio, Tio opened the door and talked about the first draft of the paper "General Theory on the Definition of Composite Properties in Guidance Magic" that she had completed.
"When Tio publishes a new paper, there is no need to put my name at the end. When I was still in the laboratory, I was very embarrassed to be the corresponding author. In fact, I was just a reviewer of the paper you published.
Just people."
"I haven't thought about being 'independent' so early. Besides, the opinions and addendums put forward during the review process are also very important to inspire me. Ling, you may not feel it yourself, but the value of many of the opinions you gave is more than the argument.
The process itself. So there is no problem at all with a famous second author.”
"is that so?"
"Yes, it is like that."
Since Tio insisted, she tentatively agreed.
After finishing the practice of swordsmanship, it was past ten o'clock, but Ling didn't feel sleepy at all. This situation, which was like a sudden impulse, was quite rare for her.
"If you can't sleep, don't force yourself." On the large bed, Tio, who was wearing Kagemaru pajamas, said to Ling, who was wearing Pom pajamas.
There were only Tio and her in Ling's boudoir. Although she made Fei sleep with her as a prank at the beginning, this happened only on Fei's first day as a disciple. Later, Ling still made arrangements for Fei.
It's a room dedicated to her, and she might be more used to sleeping alone.
"Hey, Tio, do you mind chatting with me?"
"Of course, no problem. Don't we talk a lot every day?"
"It's not that. The common language between us has always been academic topics, and we have become accustomed to them. But in fact, we can talk about topics that are more suitable for our age. For example, clothing, perfume, divination, celebrities...
…”
Before Ling could finish her words, she was interrupted by Tio.
"Ling doesn't really want to say this, does she? Besides, I don't think you are really interested in this. This kind of chaotic thinking is rare in you, but it is very similar to when we first met four years ago.
.Did you encounter any troubles?"
Tio sat up from the bed, and Ling followed her and sat cross-legged on the bed, face to face with her. Their knees touched their knees, sitting very close to each other, which was probably the feeling of having a night chat.
"How should I put it...well, it's so hard to say it."
"Then don't be so anxious. Let's find something to distract our attention first. How about playing chess? We haven't played in a long time."
Tio shook her finger, the cabinet opened automatically, and the crystal chessboard flew to the bed as if being held by an invisible hand.
Eight eight sixty four.
The chess pieces are arrayed and facing each other tit for tat.
Fight for the king, fight for honor.
White squares and black squares, all appearances are not true.
This is the stage for chess players, this is
The world of chessboard.
"As usual, you hold black and I hold white?" In the rules of chess, white moves first and black moves second. Generally speaking, there is some advantage to playing first, but it is not absolute. Western chess is different from Eastern Go.
When the power is high enough, the situation is still 50-50. More than 80% of the games between two people will end in a draw.
"Well, that's it."
Instead of following the chess records, you rethink your next move every step of the way. This is the fun of the game. Gradually, your tense mind relaxed a lot.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand what I have been doing recently." After relaxing, Ling expressed her current mood.
"Some of it is understandable, and some of it is difficult to understand. So let me ask a question. Are you happy, Ling?"
"Huh?"
"Every day now, I live a very happy life. I can establish good interpersonal relationships with the people I know and live a smooth life. This is the small happiness I have found. Well, although my parents and I
There's still a little gap. What's Ling's situation like?
"Most of the time it's pretty good, right? You have fun practicing martial arts and doing research."
"But the things that bother you have nothing to do with those, right? If you want to understand yourself, you might as well make some changes. Is what you want to do done at the expense of happy time?"
It was a familiar topic. Ling remembered it. She had raised a similar question with Ogua not long ago.
"Hey, Tio, have you ever thought about changing the world?"
"Aren't we always doing this? Sooner or later, technological progress will lead mankind to a better future, just like Dr. Epstein caused the guidance revolution and changed the times. This is the ultimate goal of every technology researcher.
"
"Is it the advancement of technology... What worries me is not this, but more specific things. By the way, Tio, what do you think of the theory of fate? With the advancement of observation technology, just like what our Rozenbelk Workshop provided to Crossbell
Just as radio weather forecasts are becoming more and more accurate, predictions of all kinds of things have become possible. If humans can obtain all information through observation, can they see into the future? What has happened in this world, its
The causal relationship is continuous. So at the present moment, the future has already been determined? This is the perspective of fate theory, or causality theory. What do you think, Tio?"
"Sure enough, it would be more interesting if the future has not yet been decided."
"Same as me. I also firmly believe that the future is never certain. What I love is my own efforts, even if it is just self-satisfaction, it doesn't matter."
"It seems that we have reached a conclusion."
"Well, checkmate!"
"!?"
Ling planned to get involved in the affairs of the Erebonian Empire more deeply than she had planned in the past. It was not that she did not have the ability before, but that she did not have the intention. After being asked by Principal Van Dyke during the day, she began to consider herself
What to do in the future.
After playing chess with Tio, Ling did not sleep. Instead, she went to the hangar and entered the Shadow City Fortress through Patil Matil. She came to her throne and devoted her energy to the thunder suspended in mid-air.
After crossing the Cruise Stone, she opened her eyes again and found herself in a familiar starry sky.
The Courtyard of the Hermit is the only remaining part of the Kingdom of Shadows after its collapse 1,200 years ago. Here she can realize the function of somatosensory time acceleration. She needs more time to think about difficult problems, so this is the most suitable place.
place.
"Celesto, do you have any memory of governance, or politics?"
Seresto, the ancestor of the Libel royal family, was also a strong man who single-handedly founded this thousand-year kingdom. Ling really wanted to get some information from her copy.
"If it's the knowledge from books, I do know some of it. But as for the actual part... I was not given relevant information by the ontology when I was created."
Although it's a pity, there's nothing we can do since we don't have it.
"Books? Oh, by the way, the courtyard has reproduced almost all the books that have ever existed on the continent of Samlia. You saw it from there, right? Can you bring those books over? I'm also slightly interested."
The causality observation function of the Reclus Ashlar is realized through the Kingdom of Shadows. In addition to the Sun Gate, the Moon Gate, and the Star Gate, which have strict requirements, another manifestation of the causality observation is the reproduction of written records that exist in the world.
.According to Ling's hypothesis, 3.6% of the total power of the Void Battery, or most of the 45mkw energy, which was misappropriated by the Kingdom of Shadows without authorization, was probably used here.
Not only are there books published in bookstores, but there are also banned books in the Witch's House. Ling even saw in it the test records of the suspected d∴g cult (the Book of Ignorance Sacrifice) and various secrets of the Seven Yao Church's canonization province.
Research reports on abnormal events (Star Gate Two Salt Piles). Real-time updates are also published in magazines (Gourmet Chronicles of Liber Kingdom) or best-selling novels (Gate of the Sun: Four Gambling Techniques vs. Jack the Gambler)
Unfortunately, the number of unfiltered and indiscriminate reproductions of information in the Kingdom of Shadows is so huge that it would take several years to read through the book catalog alone. So Ling asked Ling to have almost unlimited time in the courtyard.
Celeste of Shadow became the librarian and worked on the "Index of Library and Information Archives" for her.
"How should I put it? The volume is quite huge. The number I have added to the index alone exceeds one hundred thousand. And many of them are very trivial descriptions. Are you sure you want to read them?"
"Then let's get ten copies first."
The first book is "Investigation of the Origin of Monarchy", written by someone who served as a coach at Janis King Academy in the Liber Kingdom. Ling also read this book in the library of Janis King Academy half a year ago.
The second one is a special issue published by the Imperial Academy, about the implementation of the newly implemented "Imperial Traffic Law" in March 1203. Huh? It actually stipulates that minors are not allowed to drive. Doesn't this mean that Ling herself used to take the Lure exam?
Her driver's license has been revoked... After all, the legal age in the empire is 20 years old, and her external age is only 18 years old.
She quickly flipped through eight of these miscellaneous books, and on the ninth one, Ling saw something unexpected.
The goods entry and exit statement record is signed by Bisenkoping, who is the mayor of Listal Town in the far west of the Kalvard Republic...but the cover and the content are completely inconsistent. The real content is actually a record of bribery!?
"Celesto, give me ten more texts from the last ten years of the Erebonian Empire."
The books reproduced in the Kingdom of Shadows will be marked with the place of publication and the time of writing. As the actual King of Shadows, Celestro of Shadows can be easily filtered by permissions.
Just as Ling guessed, in the three volumes, she saw what she expected.
Fortunately, the intelligent AI, Celeste, was on her side. If she had been left to look for it on her own, she might not be able to find out the information even after several years.
I didn’t expect that I could get the handle on the imperial government officials that I had imagined so easily. From this point of view, the plan that I had imagined during the day was not that difficult? Even without brainwashing waves, you can learn to manipulate it secretly like Lawyer Ian
Does Kezhou politics operate in the empire like this? Compared with the Black Knight God's curse that secretly affects human thinking, this almost threatening method is simpler and more crude.
Ling was in a great mood when she suddenly found cheating secrets from an unexpected place, but she had no plans to come forward on how to implement them.
Well, professional things should be handled by professionals. It seems it’s time to find yourself an agent who is usually used to do bad things.
While flipping through the bibliographic index on the bookshelf in the courtyard, Ling was inadvertently attracted by a title.
"The First Draft of the Theory of Physical Transformation" was written by Gilbert Stein. The book was written...a few days ago?
Out of curiosity, Ling found this book from the bookshelf, opened it and read it with great interest.
Preface: October 9, 1202, Qiyao Calendar, is a day I will never forget. After what was later called the Guidance Stop phenomenon, I escaped from the Reston Fortress where I was imprisoned and jumped into the lake.
After surviving the catastrophe, I came to a mysterious residence surrounded by fog. Yes, that was the base of the Body-Eating Snake... From then on, I started my new second life. This life includes love, anger and
Sad experience.
Pfft... The gospel plan has been completely changed due to Ling's interference, but in the end, did he still join the association?
In fact, I heard that he is a top student who graduated from Janis Wangli Academy. Although his combat effectiveness is extremely low, his administrative ability is not bad at all. He may be useful in future plans. It seems that there is a chance to meet Kemper.
As for Leila, just borrow this person and put him to use.
Although he was too old and started too late to develop fighting spirit, Ling still admired Kilbart who persisted in working hard on the muscles and muscles. As a senior who has studied the principles of body and mind, she waited until they met.
In the future, it might be a good idea to give Mr. Shitou some guidance as to what the true path to "physical transformation" is.
