Shokuhou Misaki beckoned, and gave instructions to Junko Fanfeng who had been standing beside him.

"Withdrawing half of the invested funds, someone has to pay the price."

"Yes, Her Majesty. But what about London?"

Miss Tokiwadai with purple curly hair bowed slightly, waiting for further instructions from Shokuhou Misaki.

Chapter 44、Bon voyage

Be it Academy City or people with artificial abilities, they are all emerging forces following the explosion of science in the 20th century.

Although up to now, science has become the belief of most ordinary people.

But from the point of view of those with abilities, compared to hundreds or thousands of years of magic and fairy arts, whether it is Academy City or artificial ability users, they are still too immature.

Academy City was established 50 years ago, and the popularization of artificial ability users only started ten years ago-although there were already artificial ability users before, they were only the initial experimental individuals.

For example, London, where Kamijou is located, although ordinary people have generally adapted to the convenience of technology, but those with abilities belong to the world.Whether it is the [Camelot] fortress or the London branch, they still use their more familiar magic to manage key technologies.

After all, magicians trust magic more.

Regardless, times have changed.

Now is the era of the Administration of Capable Persons. The threat of the other world has made everyone give up their prejudices—especially after the Siberia incident, even the magicians who have always been hostile to science have given up their boring and pathetic self-esteem.

It is nothing new for scientists to learn magic and magicians to play with scientific instruments.

They will even allow Academy City to send people to the London branch to hold a publicity meeting for people with artificial abilities—in fact, the magicians are not so kind, because most of the people that Academy City can recruit are detected as unsuitable for magicians The loser of the faction.Even if it is given to Academy City, it doesn't matter.

"I thought this trip would be very smooth. There are magicians in London, and none of the other A-level artificial abilities are willing to go... But why did Academy City suddenly pay attention to the promotion of London? What about activities?"

Shokuhou Misaki tapped his chin with the remote control in his hand.

Although she said she doesn't know how to use superpowers, she actually emptied the head of the man just now.

But the harvest is not much, I only know that this personnel change is indeed the meaning of the upper echelon.

Of course, this was also within her expectation, Academy City would not let anyone who possessed the real secret come before her.

"What's going on in London!"

"Report to the queen, there is no problem."

Junko Fanfeng, Miss Tokiwadai.

At the same time, he is also the second-in-command of the Shokuhou Misaki faction.

"London branch and government news is the same old 'European problem' news."

"There must be something wrong. Either the authorities have blocked the information, or it's a big or small problem... Wait, is there anything unusual about the Paris branch and the Moscow branch recently?"

Shokuhou Misaki's sudden question seemed irrelevant.

Junzi Fanfeng didn't understand the relationship between the two, but she explained it anyway.

"I only got information that the magic raw materials of the Paris branch and the Moscow branch have risen sharply. However, the British royal family has already issued a statement. The price will be adjusted back to the normal level within a week... This kind of thing has happened before. , is a normal international price war.”

The ability person's management does not hinder this kind of demilitarized conflict, as long as no one is killed and the normal operation of the authority is not hindered, how to conflict is a problem for each faction and organization.

"Magic raw materials...could it be something happened to 'Avalon'?"

"The British side has not announced the situation. On the official website, there are only gossip news such as 'the royal family sent 5 daughters Carissa to return to London from Scotland ahead of schedule' and 'a new magical relic from the [-]th century was discovered in Ireland'."

Fanfeng Junzi explained: "If there is really a major problem in the 'inner world', it is impossible for the UK to hide it from the Ability Administration. Accidents above level A, even 'anti-entropy' can't hide it."

She was talking about what happened in Qianba City a few months ago.

Even anti-entropy, who completely controls a quarter of New Tokyo, cannot defy the rules set by the Administration of Capable Persons.

What's more, as long as it is about the abnormal changes in the inner world, it can be regarded as an 'S' level major accident, not to mention the London branch, even the European general branch can't even try to hide it.

"But what if it's not a major issue..."

Shokuhou Misaki shook her head lightly, she smelled something different from these things.

"Let's put it this way, if it's a volcanic eruption, everyone will be scrambling to escape. But what if a truck full of watermelons rolls over?"

"My Lady Queen, what do you mean..."

"If it's just that one person is unlucky, everyone will surround him and laugh at him, and then find a way to take advantage of it. Not to mention the United Kingdom... Paris and Russia have already taken action. Is the attitude of Academy City to help or to help? Is it worse?"

Shokuhou Misaki clamped the remote control with four fingers and turned it around.

She pondered for a few minutes.

"Kamijo-san, I hope you don't get involved. I should contact Haruto Furutegawa... No, let's go to Asami. I remember she has friends in London."

The star-eyed girl muttered to herself about her plan, and she didn't worry about being overheard by Junzi Fanfeng next to her.

"If only I could go to London..."

She sighed helplessly, but that was impossible.

Academy City will not allow its own A-level artificial ability users to go to other branches casually.

"Think of a way to extend the chess pieces to other places, at least Academy City's cooperating agencies--ready to draft a plan, Fanfeng. Let the children discuss it, we must ensure that there are Our eyes will do!"

"Follow your orders, Her Majesty the Queen."

Fanfeng Junzi smiled, looking at the high-spirited blond girl.

Pleasant to the eye.

----------

Meanwhile, the dormitory of another Tokiwadai Academy located in District [-].Although it is not in the garden of the school dormitory, it is also in the elegant school dormitory where dozens of young ladies with at least C-rank strength are boarded.

A yell that didn't match the eldest lady's voice rang out.

"What? Let me go to London!!!"

Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with this request.

"Isn't it already confirmed that the fourth guy is going? Why do you have to change the arrangement temporarily! And it's so urgent, you're leaving tomorrow?"

She has already made an appointment with her new roommate, and she has a lot of free time to enjoy her youth during the short vacation.Now the sudden notice has canceled all these plans.

"Calm down, we just received an order from the top. Maybe we think you are more suitable."

The female teacher pushed up her glasses.

"And this time, Academy City issued the order directly through the channel of the Capable Person Management Bureau. It is self-evident whose idea it is."

"Um... the council?"

The girl's brown hair seemed to lose its luster. If it was just Academy City's commission, she could push it off.But if it is through the Ability Personnel Management Bureau, if it is not accepted, the rating will be reduced.

"Okay, I accept... After all, it is a commission from the Administration."

"Think about it, at least you keep saying that you want to leave Academy City to see the outside world, don't you?"

The female teacher breathed a sigh of relief and comforted the girl in front of her.

"Good luck, 'Railgun'."

Chapter 45. The last unexpected route

Time flies by.

Although Arturia also probably mastered how to visualize the body into the real world.But this is not Tokyo after all, and Kamijou can only lend his body to Artoria for use.

And taking advantage of these times, Kamijou is going to teach Artoria how to use modern electronic equipment.

Simply put, it is to teach Artoria how to surf the Internet.

However, Arturia was much smarter than Kamijou imagined.

Kamijou thought it would be troublesome to teach a fifth-century person how to use modern instruments, but in fact the opposite was true.Smart people are smart enough all the time.

In just 10 minutes, she understood how to use the computer.After half an hour, she was able to use the keyboard proficiently.An hour and a half later, Kamijou Touma found sadly that he was useless.

Because Artoria has already started to read the English version of the page, and even started to try to use modern English to search for what he wants.

Although this is due to Kamijou's continuous provision of memory fragments to accelerate Artoria's absorption of modern knowledge.

But even so, even so...

Kamijou's poor self-esteem suffered quite a blow at this moment.

"I'm going back, Artoria, you can do what you want."

"Don't be so depressed, I was able to learn this so quickly thanks to your memory fragments. Moreover, the products you use seem to be designed for convenience and practicality. In your memory, most of the important functions It's all 'fool-like' operations."

Electronic devices in the information age are all built with UI interfaces that can be used smoothly by a "hundred-year-old grandma".Therefore, it is normal for Artoria to quickly learn to use these functions with the help of Kamijou's memory fragments.

What's more, Artoria is not a dull person, on the contrary, she is one of the smartest people of that era.

Artoria felt Kamijou's crushed "modern self-esteem", comforted Kamijou dumbfounded, and changed the subject at the same time: "But then again, why can't I share my memories with you directly? Obviously fit At this time, thoughts and consciousness can be fully connected."

After discovering that Kamijou could share his memories with him, Arturia also tried to share his own memories with Kamijou.Technology and experience are interrelated, and both are part of memory, as long as this part of memory is passed directly to Kamijou.It will save a lot of things.

But after trying it, it didn't work.

"Perhaps a one-way driveway?"

"do not understand......"

Artoria shook her head, she has not yet fully integrated into modern society.I don't quite understand Kamijou's analogy.

"It's like a boat that can only go downstream. But, Arturia, what are you looking for?"

Kamijou passed through the mental space and saw the computer screen that Arturia was looking at.

With his English skills at the level of failing the college entrance examination, he can barely understand the meaning of about [-]%.

"Magic, and technology, fusion...?"

I can't understand the rest.

But Kamijou probably guessed the meaning.

The Administration of Capable Persons is committed to combining the abilities of various genres. On the contrary, the Administration will promote such experiments without violating the basic moral principles.For example, the experiment of the fusion of artificial abilities and Houkai is one of them.

"I thought 'science' might be the answer to my world's woes."

"But technology is a very huge category, can you do it?"

"It doesn't matter, I have the help of other companions. Although the battle of Jianlan suffered heavy losses, the people in Britain have not died, so we still have hope. I found a lot of very useful information in your memory, especially It was the information about 'productivity determines national structure' and 'all national problems are institutional problems' that inspired me a lot."

Arturia's eyes shone with a gleam that Kamijou had never seen before.

"I have to use all the power I can. I can't just rely on the knights, including the ordinary people who were protected by us before. Whether it is mysterious or scientific, I must find a way to pass useful knowledge to everyone in Britain."

"This... are you going to engage in modernization construction!"

Kamijou felt that his memory seemed to be leading Artoria to an indescribable unknown direction.

Whether it's good or bad, Kamijou doesn't know.

But one thing is certain, this is a path that he has never imagined.

"Knowledge can change destiny."

Kamijou sighed, remembering what happened in his previous life.

"Does knowledge change destiny? The person who said this is a great person... I still envy your era and the world. Although people still have their own contradictions, I see the same in Britain today. I still worry about the continent across the sea, but the power here is not used to kill but to protect. People with powerful power do not rely on the power in their hands to plunder, but to protect the world well under the appropriate laws .”

Artoria's tone was full of approval and envy. She also wanted to build her country into what Britain is now—she was coveting the [Camero] fortress in the inner world.

"I also like the current world very much. Although that guy Gutegawa also said that in some corners of the world, there are still dirty and unspeakable things happening. But I also believe that such things can never be fair appeared in the world."

Kamijou Touma always believes that the world is bright.

Because the vast majority of people prefer peace to chaos.So the dark side of those worlds can only be the dark side forever.

Arturia nodded, also feeling emotional.

"I want to make my Britain like this too."

This was her dream. She once told Merlin herself that she wanted to build Britain into a place greater than Avalon.Naive and big dreams.

Actually, she didn't tell Kamijou.

What she just said was not a memory fragment that Kamijou thought of, but something he dreamed about last night.
