It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 371 The Age of Cyber Magic is Coming——

Unfortunately...

Rin still rejected such a tempting proposal.

The Demon Marshal or something...

It was not in her life plan at all, and she had never thought of this possibility.

In Miss Toosaka's opinion, it was already very good to have the opportunity to study abroad in the Clock Tower and achieve academic success.

As for turning the tables and counterattacking the Clock Tower...

Well, there's really no need for that.

Xia Zhi had nothing to say about this choice. Since he couldn't seduce her, he would just settle for the next best thing.

Anyway, "making the Tōsaka family great again"... is actually a very easy thing to do, even if you don't overturn the table, it's the same as long as you follow the existing rules of the game.

Although strictly speaking, the Tohsaka family has never been great.

It cannot be said that there were no achievements. Even if we don't mention the Holy Grail War project that was jointly carried out by the three major families, in the two hundred years that followed, the successive heads of the family still produced many results.

The various patents he holds in the Magic Association are proof of this.

Although these inventions may be just minor tricks or mediocre innovations.

But a little bit of sand makes a tower, and the accumulation of a little bit of sand makes a mountain, which is enough to prove that the Tohsaka family has not lived off the resources, nor has it just been eating up the foundation left by its ancestors.

As for the family's decline, that is exactly what happened to Rin's generation...

But there was nothing that could be done, as Tousaka Tokitoki participated in the Holy Grail War and died on the spot.

——Even though we had made arrangements in advance, Tokitoki was in the wrong place...

——His disciple Kotomine Kirei is also a bit abstract...

So there is nothing we can do about the result.

But no matter what, from the time when Tōsaka Tokitsu was backstabbed by his disciple Kotomine Kirei and died before his career was halfway through, to now, it has only been about ten years.

It’s not long, but it’s also quite short.

Therefore, in general, the "decline" of the Tohsaka family was not a sudden and drastic change.

This kind of "decline" is more reflected in the more intuitive financial aspects. Due to poor management and the loss of family property, the rich heritage of the past gradually faded away, leaving only desolation and loneliness.

As for the rest...

The Tousaka family still has an heir, so it doesn't count as the entire magus family being exterminated.

Although holding patents is becoming increasingly obsolete, there has only been no movement in the past decade or so.

It's just that there are no continuous results. This is normal, isn't it? Doing magic research is the same as doing scientific research. It doesn't mean that if you put in money, you will definitely get output.

There are many precedents of companies that have failed repeatedly and remained silent for decades.

What's more, it's just a remote magician family in the Far East, so naturally not many people would pay close attention to it. People who didn't pay attention might not even notice its short period of silence.

From this point of view, it can be considered good news.

This means that the reputation that the Tousaka family has accumulated has not been damaged.

As a member of the Magic Association, past qualifications can come in handy and can gain official endorsement to a certain extent.

The power of historical accumulation and inheritance comes into play at critical moments.

………………

"Don't underestimate yourself, this is official endorsement."

"It doesn't need to admit it, as long as it doesn't oppose it, that's the key..."

"Because it's obviously difficult to get the Magic Association to officially stand up for you, or for some authority to come out and vouch for you..."

"Unless the Tousaka family has completely risen, and the interests of the Magic Bank have begun to be deeply tied to the Association..."

"But you don't have to think about these things now. You just need to know that the Tohsaka family does have certain advantages in this regard."

"First of all, the ancestor of the Tousaka family was a disciple of the magician. This is a shining golden sign..."

"Secondly, I am already a member of the Magic Association. Even if I am not a senior member, I am definitely not a rookie. This is my qualifications..."

"People are very strange. Even if they have never heard of a certain brand before, when they know that the brand is a century-old brand, they will subconsciously think that it must have something special..."

"Same logic—"

"As a student of a magician, a member of the Magic Association, a family that has been passed down for two hundred years, and has worked with others to run heavyweight projects such as the Holy Grail War."

"What is this? This is the selling point!"

"Perhaps those nobles and monarchical families may sneer at this, but what does it matter? This part is a very small minority, and if you want to expand the market, you have to win over the majority."

"At least, for most magicians, this kind of publicity is enough to convince them, and then make them users and markets that can be won over..."

………………

That's basically it.

As the current head of the Tohsaka family, Rin naturally has her own opinions.

But no matter how opinionated she is, it cannot change the objective fact that she is still a female high school student with relatively little life experience.

What's more, having a strong opinion depends on the situation.

Therefore, after Xia Zhi's persuasion, Lin finally made up his mind to go all in even if it meant going against his will.

That's right, not to mention making the Tohsaka family greater... just to raise the huge amount of funds to make the jewel sword and fulfill the long-cherished wish of her family ancestors, she must do something.

After all, the funding gap is too huge, and it is not a problem that can be easily solved by increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

If we don't take a gamble, let alone Rin, I'm afraid that even after a dozen generations, we won't be able to accumulate enough resources to forge a jewel sword.

It is already very difficult when it comes to concepts such as grand magic and advanced techniques.

If it involves the field of magic, even to a limited extent, it will definitely be a huge challenge.

Although the girl is not a magician who has gone astray, she still has a strong desire to pursue the truth deep in her heart...

Under such circumstances, she naturally had to bite the bullet and go ahead.

Fortunately, perhaps because a goddess was summoned (that's what Rin Toosaka thought), she provided a lot of help.

For example, at the level of imaginary number magic.

The fair-skinned girl with only one eye easily used runes to construct a materialized imaginary ring.

This is simply shocking.

Miss Filia also made a series of surprising statements in this regard.

It perfectly illustrates the many unobserved and unproven properties of imaginary space.

Although she was unwilling to explain in detail why she knew so much about imaginary space, she only gave a rough and vague explanation.

After all, it was a dark history of a loving mother and a filial son...

In the ancient Age of Gods, the mother of the gods certainly did not voluntarily get sealed into the imaginary space...

——However, the help it brings is unquestionable.

With such help, Sakura, who is naturally gifted with excellent magical talent and a user of imaginary number magic, has made rapid progress in her research.

It feels like I am a genius and have been given a chance to learn new skills.

In contrast, even Rin couldn't help but feel a subtle sense of frustration when faced with a project she hadn't even started.

However, she had to admit that with such progress, the prospect that Xia Zhi had previously described suddenly seemed less like a pie in the sky and more like an extremely convincing one.

However, if we want to directly set up the Magic Bank, there are still some necessary prerequisites missing.

Xia Zhi didn't rush Ying to start practicing right away, but instead advised her to be patient and consolidate the basics first.

At the same time, he also started to send a paper to the London Clock Tower.

------

------

As the core of the Magic Association, it can also be said to be the Magic Association itself.

The Clock Tower is located in the suburbs of London and is a building similar in style to the Houses of Parliament (Big Ben).

This building on the outskirts of London is the first discipline. It is surrounded by barriers that keep people away, ranging from road checks or physical erasure from maps to visual obstructions.

In addition, eleven disciplines have been transformed into satellite cities, distributed in various neighborhoods around London, such as Sla, Rocksloot, etc.

Ninety percent of magicians in Western Europe would choose the Clock Tower. After their qualifications and soul color were examined and they registered, they would officially become a member of the association.

But it is also because of this that the mixture of good and bad people naturally leads to complex factions and mountain forces.

In order to gain power, to compete for budgets, or to suppress other factions, all kinds of open and covert struggles are everywhere and happen every day.

But today——

This self-evident atmosphere was broken to a certain extent.

The reason, of course, was a paper from the Far East that proposed a very novel magic theory, which was like dropping a bomb in the pond.

——It is a computer technique.

This naturally caused an uproar.

After all, for many magicians who claim to be orthodox, it is natural that modern science is regarded as taboo.

After all, it is the expansion of the light of science that has led to the fading and thinning of mystery, allowing planets to change the physical laws on their surfaces.

It is 2004…

This world line doesn't seem like it would be possible for a spy agency like Chaldea to emerge, where researchers from various fields gather together without distinction between magic and science, and it is established with the authorization of all countries.

Therefore, the impact of the magic theory brought by this paper from the Far East is self-evident.

But its value is so high that it is difficult to deny.

Because not only the theory, but also the specific magic formula has been proposed.

And because of someone's manipulation, it spread at the fastest speed and there was no way to suppress it.

………………

"Measure the location of the soul and project the output of consciousness onto the virtual image in computer space..."

"Transform your mind, body, and soul into a spirit, and send them into the network as a clone..."

"Code Cast, a simple technique used in computer space..."

Groups of magicians, from apprentices seeking to learn, to professors serving as lecturers, as well as those seniors who devoted themselves to research day and night, were all blown away.

They gathered in the academic building, in the workshop, and in the library, arguing and bickering fiercely about the magical theory of "pseudo-spiritual particles".

"Isn't this... the materialization of the soul in the computer world?"

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! I don't accept it!!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"

Some were angry, some were shocked, and some refused to accept it.

In this process, the discussion quickly developed from the view on the magic theory itself to the differences of opinion on other people.

It is normal for each other to get red in the face, glare at each other, or even come to blows.

however--

Even those old guys who were the most determined and the most difficult to accept realized this fact with sadness in their hearts.

Some kind of horrific trend is brewing...

It is heading straight towards the current magic world...

Nothing else, that paper not only proposed specific magic formulas, but also very considerately explained two methods of how to make them into corresponding ritual costumes.

For freelance magicians, production is not simple.

But for some families and factions, they seem to be able to mass-produce easily and make profits from it.

Unfortunately, patent rights are public.
