Westcott's expression had fully expressed this, and Mathers, who was watching, showed a naughty smile.

"It's useless, Westcott."

Mathers seemed to be unable to hold back.

"Magicians are not a group of people accepted by the public. Yet we have always left a mark on history. Haven't we all come down this road? Westcott, your attitude now just proves it. , that young Aleister Crowley is on the road to 'golden' just like we were back then."

"You mean, this guy who doesn't know anything about our GD tarot card arrangement can directly skip the vision stage and use the ritual of angel power to achieve the summon? Mathers, if you are really reluctant to lose this one Talented young people should stop this ceremony immediately. Otherwise, at least prepare a demon sword, after all, he will definitely make the dark power runaway."

"Hey, don't jump to conclusions so quickly. If his talent is only at the level of a mortal person, would a geek like me still fall in love with him and try to win him over to me?"

The conversation between the two stopped.

The reason was an explosive roar from the floor.

A formless, like a strong storm-like thing swept the crowd.

Naturally, it was Westcott who opened his eyes wide.

"Idiot!! He really can't control the power of darkness!"

Westcott hurriedly tore off the tablecloth on which the magic circle was painted with pigeon blood, but the pattern had already been branded on the floor of the ceremony venue.Obviously inorganic but very persistent.It was as if something invisible reached out from the half-closed gap of the door, trying to force the door to open completely.

Involuntarily, the body of Kihara Celestial Body was also tense, and the unstable power fluctuations spread.Until the witch of the black cat put her soft palm on his shoulder.

"Come and help, Mathers. We have to delay the time to contact Bright Avenue and have someone bring the treasure over here!!"

"No, it's not time yet!! Haha!! The show has just started!!"

Mathers opened his arms as if welcoming something.

Then things took a turn.

The wind did not ease, but there was a clear sense of direction.It was rolled into a violent whirlwind like it was bound by the magic circle that was scorched on the ground.In this way, the original strength is maintained in a stable state of compression.A certain invisible being is locked in a circle like a demon in a fairy tale.The stage has been set up, and it must now obey the wizard's instructions.

Just like a gas lamp that can only burn in a glass container, it can be put out just by turning a switch.

"What? What's going on!? He was clearly out of control just now!!"

"That's an old-fashioned opinion of you, Westcott. To you, the world is ten spheres plus intangible knowledge connected by twenty-two lines, but that's just one side of the world. And this Aleister Crowe made a new calculation using the completely opposite world tree.

"Is it the Reverse Kabbalah Tree of Evil? That upside-down tree with a different demon's name carved into each imaginary particle!?"

"As long as there is enough knowledge and consideration, negative power can also be converted into words to describe the world. What you see as failure is the starting point of success for young people. You need to find the ladder to heaven. I No stopping you, but you can learn that formula by investigating the big hole to hell. Just like thinking of Dante's Divine Comedy as a bedtime story makes a child shudder. Just try not to end up the same."

"But this... the risk is too high. The opposite of the negative is the positive. I understand this principle, but rushing into the application stage without knowing the truth of the world will only summon more and more dark forces. , sooner or later play with fire and kill yourself. You said you wanted a magic toolbox that would allow people without specialized knowledge to arrange marks, lead to their own miracles, and train new people safely and surely in a complex board game-like way, complete A collective device from which both master and apprentice can get answers, but now you are completely the opposite!"

Westcott seemed to feel absurd about the "founder" who was equal to him, and said so excitedly.

"Like a bible that hides its true meaning with complex descriptions, bringing the tree of evil into our golden guild will only complicate the essence! If you want something that only a chosen few can understand, and one misstep A secret ritual full of the evil poison of the original scriptures that will be eaten back, then join the Rosicrucian Society. Didn't you just say we can't become like that!"

"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. The point is to reverse your thinking. It's the same as minus 1 times minus 1 is plus 1. Once you figure it out, you won't be so confused. No matter whether the initial point is plus or minus, you can end up in a positive direction. ."

"I said that mental exercise is not for newcomers! This is the capital of the great British Empire, but the people of London are still counting change coins with their fingers. The knives and discs that are hidden in that box can Get them confused. Listen, that's how it is in London, the most progressive city in the world. Everyone starts as a novice. You shouldn't presume the masses can reach us!!"

"That's why we're going to change everything that starts here. Our toolbox of board games will cause the same change in the world as the steam engine."

Kihara Tian looked at these guys with an expressionless face, just like he was looking at the mindless tutors of his students.

"Even if I am not a professional magician, I can understand that Westcott's view is the most correct. It is very pedantic and old-fashioned, but it is the safest option. Your husband can't hear other people's words at that time. ? Then the destruction of the 'gold' is unquestionably inevitable, even without Aleister."

Mathers was obviously provoking the other party and getting him to tell the truth.Crowley ignored the voices around him and just conducted experiments calmly, while the seemingly rational Westcott was only the result of suppressing a newcomer he disliked by preaching the tradition of sticking to the rules and accumulating for many years.Even if they only joined forces slightly towards the same result, wouldn't it save a considerable amount of extra time?

It feels like watching several people arguing endlessly over which animal is the strongest.

Then the black cat witch who appeared beside Kihara Celestial Body sighed.

[Adults who have lived for so many years and are still childish, once they get serious, they will turn back into children.In this case, it's usually me who intervenes. 】

"Tired?"

Kihara Celestial's emotional intelligence can only support him in making such a response.

Mediators of fruitless arguments.coordinator.Some people will be forced into this exhausting hard work, and Mina Mathers is probably a model.

"Then why did you marry him?"

[From what I see now, rough men have a wonderful charm.Do you know where the poison tongue beauty is? 】

"Are you talking about Othinus?"

[The one-eyed witch will definitely be happy to hear that. 】

"I'm so sorry, I was wrong."

[Anyway, isn't there a rumor that "a strange group of a dozen or twenty women surrounds a man in an apartment" sometimes?The people in the Golden Guild are extremely eccentric, and it is also a gathering point for those charismatic weirdos. 】

"I have seen hundreds of people, and I don't find it strange at all."

[I don't think you understand. 】

"?"

Kihara Celestial Body, with a question mark in his head, did not understand the meaning of the black cat witch. After all, the "celestial power" seems to be a combination of the description of the black cat witch.

[A strange group of a dozen or twenty women surrounding a man]

Very apt.

The puzzled Kihara Celestial looked at the phantoms who continued to argue fiercely.

"Now that Mr. Crowley's theory is justified, it may be necessary to review each document individually."

"Mathers, what do you mean?"

"GD Tarot. Our Golden Association completed that arrangement in a group form, but Crowley denied the arrangement of the 22 cards and successfully summoned the power of angels. Then the truth may lie in the error he admired Aligning. I mean, re-investigating the Witt tradition."

"That's what you came up with!? Deteriorating the great cause of the Golden Association to increase its influence!?"

"Your vision is too low."

environment so far.

The reason for the cracks in the aggregate named "gold" is explained very simply and clearly.

第 620

"What is it this time? What kind of environment can make my omnipotent 'understander' subconsciously explode?"

Looking at Kamijou Touma who shrank to the side and Othinus who put his arm on his shoulder, Kihara Tenji just shook his head.

"Saw the beginning of cracks in 'gold'. It's basically an internal power struggle."

[Gold was originally a magical association created by the three founders.But one of them was old and had retired, so the organizational aspect became a tug-of-war between Westcott and Mathers.After Crowley joins, restore the balance of power from even to odd.If Crowley's power continues to grow, Westcott should be relegated to a two-on-one situation. 】

"It's really boring. So is the past of that 'human' such a boring thing?"

[The Golden Society is striving to discover a unified theory that can explain the truth of the world, and to build a toolbox, which is different from the Bible that contains the limited miracles left by the "great being", and can bring endless possibilities.Instead of the dangerous seas of words in the magic book, use the arteries of familiar knowledge forged by people who lived in the same era. 】

Looking at the black cat witch Othinus, who was standing in the air, whispered disdainfully.

“The toolbox will be as accessible as a lady’s tailor’s suit or pin, yet as professional as a painter’s or sculptor’s tool. Instead of throwing in the terribly toxic knowledge of the originals and screwing up the brain all at once, simply by reference To a sophisticated board game that adults and children can play, gradually understand magic in your own way?"

[Yes, it's like a development tool that lets people connect the puzzle pieces on the screen to assemble the app, without spending time learning the difficult C language. 】

"But this will also lead to abuse. If anyone can easily make an app, then the cost of fraudulent information extraction will be almost nothing. Especially in your case where there are no large churches and associations that can limit, this It's like developing a worm in the age of no firewall."

Seemingly not denying Othinus' statement, the black cat witch explained the beginning of destruction with a clear voice.

[By the way, Mathers wants to investigate every part carved by Westcott and others, and then use Crowley to rewrite it all.Just overwriting the toolbox development kit everyone created together, he could fill it with props he and Crowley made.No, Crowley was still Mathers' own apprentice.So even if they join forces, the end result will be seen as a Mathers product. 】

"It's like a fool who wants to give his name to a patent, but doesn't want to give his assistants or anyone else any benefit. No one can do anything in that era. Behind a great man is a group of companions who silently support him. The reason why such a great man can go down in history, and even some of them can still give people a different kind of charm in the stories of a hundred years or more after his death, is this It's what makes them great."

[Very original view, but it is undeniable that there are some "lone wolves" among the people who have "lived in the history", but usually such characters are those who have been attached with "spirit of dedication" or "spirit of sacrifice" people. 】

"But even if Mathers sacrificed himself in order to prevent a spell that could destroy the world, the world on the magic side would not remember him, and even the descendants would say that spell was him for their own benefit. My own mistake."

Looking at Othinus, the witch of the black cat did not make any sign.After all, everyone is well aware of this matter. Not to mention magicians, even monks will degrade the Buddha "Sangzheng" as an alien for various reasons.

"But what was the reason for that magician named Mathers?"

[There is no practical reason.If I really want to say one thing, it's probably his greed and the fact that he is a weirdo with that kind of charm.He wanted to dismantle the stagnant era of master-disciple succession, and sweep away the prison-like learning system in which the most useful must be judged from among a large number of leaders.He wants to abolish those long queues that lead to nowhere, and create a collective device where masters and students can ask anonymous questions without scruples.He also wanted to take the credit for coming up with that simple but sophisticated toolbox, not all the golden leaders.He wanted to leave a name for Qing Shi.It's probably that simple.In his heart, it was like the innocent dream of discovering a dinosaur fossil and giving it his name forever.He is also an adult who cannot give up childishness. 】

Maybe the other Kamijou Touma couldn't understand the meaning right away, but if you talk about dinosaur fossils, you can.

Even Kamijou-san, who is an ordinary high school student, can understand the feeling of digging rocks day and night.

But once a new species of dinosaur fossils are found, will someone really cross the river and demolish the bridge just to name it after himself, and drive out all the people who have assisted him in his excavation?After all, such a thing is no different from smashing a sign, right?

As the leader of this excavation team, there is no need to do such extreme things.Anyway, in the end, his name will definitely be written in the most conspicuous place.

Then, the black cat witch said something strange.

[But it didn't turn out that way. 】

"As expected."

"After all, compared to Mathers, the founder of modern magic is generally known as someone named 'Aleister'. A man called 'Silver Star'."

【indeed.In the end, most of the modern magic that has survived into the present day is attributed to Aleister Crowley.There was no Mathers name in it.His naive but wicked ambition died before it could be achieved. 】

This is not a good thing for Westcott or other outsiders.After all, Crowley was a member of the Mathers faction.

That is to say...

Kamijou Touma turned his attention to Kihara Celestial Body and Othinus, but neither of them showed any unexpected expressions.Othinus seemed to see the ridicule and disdain of the low-level clown, while Kihara Celestial Body was expected to be dull and indifferent.

As if the failure of the plan of the man named Mathers was just a poor performance for the two of them.

"The relationship is so complicated. It means that Westcott and Mathers are opposed to each other, but Crowley and the boss within the Mathers faction have an infighting?"

"It's almost the same directly. But Aleister's enemies are not just someone or a group of people."

[That's it.The enemy reflected in Aleister Crowley's field of vision was something bigger. 】

"?"

[Well, when everything seemed to be going well, an event happened and Mathers fell short.The beginning of his fall was a quiet armed conflict.If it's you, you probably don't need me to reiterate it again, right? 】

"The Battle of Bryce Avenue."

The silver pipe supporting the Kihara celestial body collapsed, and with a clear sense of falling, a new round of illusions unfolded.

This time it is not the old room, but a relatively prosperous street.The surrounding lights have fully explained what kind of stories usually happen here.

[The following may be a bit confusing, but with everyone's minds, I probably don't need my special explanation, right? 】

Kihara celestial body turned around, Othinus was already standing here.
