Alchemy Principles of Type-Moon World

"Is it okay for us to be so brazen?"

"Haven't I already changed into clothes that suit this era?"

In the Fuyuki Library, Xing Qingqiu muttered to Newton who was clearing books from the shelves.

"I mean, won't we be taken away by a sudden attack from a wild Pokémon? Or is it true that in the Holy Grail War, Servants must greet each other before attacking other Servants?"

"We will not participate in the Holy Grail War."

"what?"

"I'm able to descend into the mortal world, yet I'm wasting precious time fighting for some 'universal wish-granting machine'."

"Putting one's hopes on those illusory things, those short-sighted souls who have never raised their heads to look up at the sky and are bound by gravity, are so vulgar and ridiculous."

Xing Qingyu wanted to continue talking, but his unconscious exclamation had already drawn the displeasure of the librarian. Under her glare, Xing Qingyu wisely chose to keep quiet.

"Let's go, that's about it."

Xing Qingyu looked at the pile of books that was taller than him and chose to respond with silence.

"I'm sorry, but this library has a limit on the number of books you can borrow at one time," said the librarian at the front desk. "You can only borrow five books at a time. Please..."

"Please register me."

Newton ignored the librarian's dissuasion and just stretched out his index finger, shook it in front of her twice, and snapped his fingers.

"OK……"

"Oh my god, hypnosis! Sir, Sir, I want to learn this." The brilliance in the eyes will not disappear out of thin air, but will only move from one person's eyes to another. Xing Qingqi stared at it, and begged Newton with shining eyes, "Sir Niu, I want to learn hypnosis--"

"A mere magic trick is enough to amaze him?" Xing Qingfeng wanted to say.

But looking at the librarian who had lost her luster in front of him.

I have to say, hypnosis gives too much.

　(Six) VIII Jiuwubaqiusimingwu This is Japan, and what is in front of him is hypnosis. There are so many elements, he has no choice but to charge.

　"Is this all you have to offer?"

"I really want to learn magic," Xing Qingqiu said with aloof airs. "It would be even better if I could learn hypnosis. I don't mean anything special, but I'm actually an illegal immigrant, and if I learn this, it will benefit both of us. Lord Niu, as a genius, you shouldn't mind sharing your knowledge with me, right?"

Newton ignored Xing Qingjiu and turned around to take out a few books from the bookshelf and threw them to him.

"Learn these first."

"Is it something like 'Introduction to Alchemy and Mysticism'?" Xing Qingqiu looked at the title. He was a little surprised that the seemingly arrogant Newton would be so easy to talk to. He was prepared to be rejected, but...

"Fuck, calculus?"

"Just basic tools." Newton sorted the pile of books, taller than a man, into his bag, picked it up with ease, and walked out of the library. "I'll give you a list later. Buy the things according to the list. That'll be your tuition."

"Reborn in 1997, studying advanced mathematics in Japan. This time, I won't fail!"

"Now, take me to your place."

“Sir, this way!”

"Relative spacetime... That Leibniz guy was actually right?"

"No, it just looks similar to his theory. Or rather, is it my soul that is bound by my shortsightedness? Damn gravity!" Newton flipped through the book in his hand eagerly, sighing and cursing gravity.

"Just a few hundred years, just a few hundred years... and the descendants have already reached this point. And look at those magicians, they are truly useless! Given so much time, they will only continue to suck at the pacifier of the Aether!"

"Sir, I bought what you wanted." Xing Qingfeng kicked open the door, holding a pile of bottles and jars of laboratory equipment. "I put them in the living room."

Newton ignored Xing Qingjiu, but Xing Qingjiu didn't care either. Instead, he prepared the ingredients for the afternoon stall. If an ordinary person had been so arrogant and yelled at Xing Qingjiu, Xing Qingjiu would have killed him long ago.

But the person before him claimed to be Newton. Although there was no way to prove it was him, Xing Qingfeng felt that this was how Newton should be.

Just like many people claim that they are not gay, but if they are given a chance to see Li Shimin's hook, there will still be many people who can't wait to rush in, after all, that is Li Shimin's hook.

Similarly, serving tea and water to your mentor and being ordered around is like being treated like a beast of burden, but serving tea and water to Sir Isaac Newton? You know, that's Isaac Newton.

Can those who serve Lord Niu as cattle and horses be called cattle and horses? They are called legendary breeds.

After mixing the batter and preparing everything, he packed them up and put them on the food cart. Xing Qingwu prepared to go out to sell his blasphemous pancakes as usual.

As someone who completely didn't understand the cruelty of the Holy Grail War, he didn't take it seriously. Since Lord Niu had already said he wouldn't participate, then this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, while the Holy Grail War was brutal, who could have imagined that just ten years later, it would become an extracurricular sport at Fuyuki School?

"Are you going out?"

Newton heard Xing Qingwu push the door open and turned around to ask.

"I have no money left, so I have to do it. If I don't do it, I will have no money to spend."

"On your way back, go to the library and borrow two more books. I also have some things to buy. I'll give you the list now." Newton wrote on the paper, thought for a moment, and then said, "Come back before dark. I'll teach you magic tonight."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Ah, wait, take this with you." Xing Qingyu had just taken the list and was about to leave when he was stopped by Newton again. He turned around and planned to take what Newton said, but he didn't expect -

——Newton stuffed an object directly into Xing Qingjiu’s stomach.

"..." Xing Qingyu looked at Newton's hands stirring his intestines in his abdominal cavity, and felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

"That's enough, so that some mediocre person from nowhere won't find out you're not human."

"What do you mean, I'm not a human? If I'm not a human, does that mean I'm a beast? Lord Niu, why are you cursing at me?"

"I'll explain it to you, but I need to read now."

"This is my home!"

Newton ignored Xing Qingyu's complaints, burying himself in the mountain of books piled on Qi Chi's desk. Xing Qingyu pulled a section of his intestines out of his abdomen and felt them, finding no change. Scratching his head, he stuffed his intestines back in.

"Remember to come back before sunset. Also, don't tell anyone else about the Holy Grail War and me."

"It's quite ceremonial, like the 1999 Secret War."

"Isn't it 1997?"

"Oh, yes."

He felt that being a legendary stud wasn't that great, but after thinking about how he had saved his life, he decided to endure it. After all, hypnosis was within reach, and he wasn't someone who was tempted by beauty. It was normal for him to be a slave for a few days just to repay a favor, but it would be even better if he could learn hypnosis now.

It's not shameful to be a legendary stud, but it would be even better if you could be a legendary stallion. Thinking of this, Xing Qingfeng's mind no longer had any resentment, and what remained was only the chivalrous feeling of wanting to repay a favor.

I am really a decent person. I don't have any personal feelings. I am just a chivalrous person who repays a drop of kindness with a spring of water.

Volume 6: The Alchemist's Apprentice from the Fourth War: . What? I can't learn magic?

"Brother Kirei, here's your pancake." Xing Qingqi handed the pancake filled with Mexican hot sauce in his hand to Kotomine Kirei. When Xing Qingqi asked him to taste the food in the church before, he discovered that Kotomine Kirei seemed to like spicy food more.

"Thank you." Kotomine Kirei took the piping hot pancake, not caring at all about the chili sauce or the heat. He took a big bite without changing his expression. "How have you been lately?"

"Business is good," Xing Qing said as he scooped up some batter. "I hope this continues to be popular. At this rate, I won't have to rent that small apartment anytime soon."

"Congratulations." Kotomine Kirei took the last bite of the pancake and then quietly observed Xing Qing's busy work. His contrasting behavior made Kotomine Kirei feel a little puzzled -

If he was a participant in the Holy Grail War, why would he still be selling pancakes here? But if he was unrelated, it would be hard to explain the series of coincidences that happened to him: the alleged cult site the police raided was clearly connected to the Holy Grail War, and all the evidence pointed to Xing Qingfeng, yet he himself was completely unaware of it? Is this possible?

What's more, no magical reaction was felt from him, not even a Command Seal.

"Speaking of which, when my father was teaching me Wujiquan, he told me that Chinese martial arts often integrate medicine and martial arts, so he specifically taught me some of the basics of Chinese medicine's 'look, listen, ask, and feel'."

"I wonder if Mr. Xing would be willing to let me give it a try?"

"Ah? Father Kotomine is also an experienced Chinese medicine practitioner?" Xing Qingwu handed the pancakes out and, seeing no other customers, extended his wrist to Kotomine Kirei, "Then, benefactor, please take my pulse."

Kotomine Kirei clasped his hand on Xing Qingjiu's wrist and sensed him carefully, but still did not find any abnormality - he was a completely ordinary person, completely consistent with the investigation commissioned by the head of the Tōsaka family before the Holy Grail War.

"how is it going?"

"Forgive my lack of academic expertise." Kotomine Kirei shook his head, not knowing whether he was referring to his lack of expertise in magic or in medicine. "Taking a pulse is still too difficult for me. But judging by your face, perhaps you should pay more attention to replenishing your blood."

"Don't tell me, I might actually be a little anemic." Xing Qingfeng thought about what happened not long ago. How could he not be anemic when his intestines were spilling all over the floor? "Actually, Brother Qili, you're quite accurate."

"Please take some rest." Kotomine Kirei took out a few bills and placed them in Xing Qingjiu's cash register. "Don't work too late. Fuyuki isn't very safe at night these days. I have some chores to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

"Hey, why are you giving me so much?" Xing Qingyu took out the bills and tried to catch up with Kotomine Kirei, but found that he had already walked away. He glanced at the large bills in his hand, looked at the unattended stall behind him, and sighed.

"Oh, now I owe someone money again."

"Xing-jun is still operating his stall as normal today." Kotomine Kirei said seriously, sitting on a bench in the church. "I did a quick check and saw no trace of magecraft, let alone Command Spells."

"Father, did the 'Aura Disk' indeed sense the appearance of seven Servants?"

"Absolutely true." Kotomine Riki, with his back to Kotomine Kirei, fell into deep thought, "So many coincidences, yet no trace of magic has ever been found..."

"However, considering that the last Servant summoned was Caster, there must be a way for the Master to function even if he has no magical talent at all."

"But you said he has no Command Seals?"

"Nothing has been found."

"Is that so... I think it would be best to send an Assassin to keep watch. It's not surprising that Caster has the means to conceal the Command Seals."

"Then wait until we finish coordinating with Mr. Tosaka tonight and send an Assassin to conduct surveillance near Mr. Xing's home."

——————————————————————————————————————

"How much do you know about magic?" Newton asked as if it were nothing. He naturally took over Xing Qing's small bed and lay there watching the popular science video. "Don't you have any basic knowledge at all?"

"I really don't understand anything at all..." Xing Qingyu shook his head and touched his chin awkwardly. "How about you give me some introductory textbook so I can learn on my own?"

"Hahahaha, great, it's better to have no foundation." Newton not only didn't dislike Xing Qingjiu, but laughed out loud, "It's a good thing you didn't suffer the contamination of those mediocre people."

"Well, now let me give you a brief introduction to the concept of magic." Newton sat up on the bed, crossed his legs and faced Xing Qingjiu.

He snapped his fingers casually, and flames burst out from his fingertips.

"It's called magic."

The flames suddenly pierced Xing Qingji's eye sockets with his fingertips, and his eyeballs shattered silently like popped balloons, dissipating into tiny sparks. Newton's fingers kept stirring inside his skull, but Xing Qingji felt nothing.

"It's called magic."

"Now do you understand the difference between magic and sorcery?"

"I don't understand!"

"Very good!" Newton withdrew his fingers from Xing Qingqi's eye sockets. Clusters of golden crystals emerged from the empty eye sockets, and then re-formed into an eyeball that was exactly the same as before.

"The flame I just held in my hand is no different from the flame you lighted with a match," Newton explained slowly. "Magic, the imitation or substitution of phenomena, is really just a packaging of something that can be done by human power."

"Just like you can't see the internal structure of a lighter, but you know that pressing the button will light the flame. The essence of magic is actually the same."

"What magic can do, pure human power can also do."

"Sounds like some kind of sleight of hand."

"It's very close, but the object of the deception is on a much larger scale. I'll talk about this later."

"And magic is pure miracle. For example, your resurrection from the dead actually means you just died again."

"what?"

"Your resurrection, the fusion of your body and soul, and the structure of the Holy Grail during the Holy Grail War can all be attributed to a single magic—the Jade Law."

"That is, a miracle that modern people cannot replicate no matter what."

"Contemporary?" Xing Qingyu sensitively heard what Newton emphasized.

"A long, long time ago, before civilization was established, how to make fire was incomprehensible to our ancestors. They couldn't do it themselves."

"So at that time," Newton's fingertips sparked with flames again, "this is magic. You can treat it as an unbreakable trick."

"But as civilization develops, our understanding of the world deepens, and the unknowns are constantly transformed into the known, countless magics are also reduced to sorcery."

"It sounds... like it contradicts 'science'..."

"They are all just means of understanding the world and pursuing truth. There is no contradiction at all."

"The fundamental contradiction between the modern scientific foundation I created and the backward magecraft foundation of most people is..."

"'Science,' as a foundation, doesn't need to be engraved on the land or the world, nor does it need to resort to mystery to approach 'perfection.' Magic is the imitation and replacement of natural phenomena. The foundation of magic is to create a black box and engrave it on the world.

"Science, on the other hand, is the exploration and analysis of natural phenomena. In the process of dismantling the black box and pursuing the truth, science, as a foundation, is just an accidental—"

"—Alas, how come those losers were kicked into the damp corners of history like stray dogs, sucking on the increasingly dwindling mystery? They clearly can't produce mystery themselves, yet they have to rely on this stuff and fight each other until they are bloodied. How pitiful."

"Besides, the serious magi who actually have a job don't think my base has any impact on them. Only those half-wits who can't get up and down, ah, I'm specifically referring to the good-for-nothings in the Clock Tower."
