002 〈Chaldean〉

2018 AD.

This was the last time that "Magic" was still established.

Society is built by human hands, but the truth of the world is held by a special group ———— magicians who are not active in society.

They are a group of scholars who are always looking for progress.

They are a group of humans who are secretly studying the mysteries.

Through the power of magic, we reconstruct, reconstruct, and reproduce things that science would take a lot of time to accomplish in the form of "miracles", so that they can do things like magic in fairy tales.

The person who has this kind of power and technique is the so-called magician.

Of course, magic and magic are two completely different concepts, and this so-called miracle is not as beautiful as it is in fairy tales.

Today, as science continues to evolve, the power of magic has become weaker and weaker.

The mystery is fading.

Miracles are slowly disappearing.

And all of this is because of the development of science, so that magic can do less and less, and weaker and weaker.

Therefore, magic and science are two completely opposite paths, and the development of one represents the decline of the other, if not at all, incompatible.

However, whether it is a magician who has the technology of the past of mankind that cannot be explained by science, or a scientist who has accumulated the technology of the future of mankind that cannot be achieved by magic, the two kinds of knowledge that are by no means compatible are like-minded in one point.

That is, whether it is magic or science, it is to bring more long-term prosperity to the human beings who study it.

In other words, no matter what kind of technology it is, it is to protect the history of mankind itself.

And so it came into being.

The Institution for the Continuation of Human Relations ———— "Chaldeans".

This is a research institute and observatory that was established in order to make the history of mankind longer and more resilient.

Built on a snow-capped mountain at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, this facility is managed by the Animsfia family, a famous ————magician, who is a famous magician, and is a secret service that comprehensively observes the world of human history, which cannot be seen by magic alone and cannot be measured by science alone, and prevents the occurrence of a decisive extinction event for mankind.

That is the Chaldeans.

In this facility, called Chaldea, the highest idea is to give priority to the continuation of human history, regardless of magic and science.

At the same time, it is also home to researchers and magicians from various fields.

Luo Zhen and Matthew are two magicians who live in the Chaldees and take up positions in the Chaldees in order to protect human reason.

In the modern white hallway, Luo Zhen yawned as he walked forward.

"I'm so sleepy..."

Rubbing his teary eyes, Luo Zhen walked listlessly in the corridor.

"Cheer up, senior." Mathew looked at Luo Zhen like this, stopped teasing Fufu's hand standing on his shoulder, and said with a frown: "If the director sees the listless appearance of the senior, it will definitely be..."

"You're going to be furious, right?" Luo Zhen preemptively took what Matthew was about to say, and pouted and said, "That aunt with early menopause is angry and scolding people every day, even if I cheer up, she will still look at me unpleasantly." ”

"Who made the seniors always dismiss the director's instructions?" Matthew didn't refute, but said: "Seniors, don't make the director angry occasionally, treat the director well." ”

In the face of Matthew's proposal, Luo Zhen only responded with one sentence.

"That's impossible." Luo Zhen said without hesitation: "I was born to have a conflict with that woman, and you don't know it." ”

Hearing this, Matthew was also a little helpless.

Just like Luo Zhen said, from before to now, these two people have always been incompatible.

Luo Zhen is a casual person, always spending his time playing games and browsing websites.

On the other hand, the director of this facility is the complete opposite, because he was born in a famous magic family and is the top administrator of the Chaldeans, he maintains the highest sense of mission and self-esteem for the protection of human reason, and does not tolerate the slightest mistake.

In this way, the two naturally caused a disagreement.

In the eyes of the director, Luo Zhen's attitude to life and loose personality are a complete waste of time.

And in Luo Zhen's eyes, the director who gets angry at himself at every turn is even more like a verbose aunt.

The two are in a relationship where they quarrel almost as soon as they meet.

It is precisely because of this that Luo Zhen specially set the director's communication to mute and could not receive the director's contact.

Therefore, the two of them are indeed in conflict.

Matthew was often caught between the two, often unsure of what to do.

(Is there no way to get along with the seniors and the director?) )

A girl with a kind personality thinks about such a thing.

It wasn't until a moment later that Matthew stopped.

"Fu...?"

Fufu, who stood on Matthew's shoulder and arranged her hair, made a confused sound.

"Matthew?"

Luo Zhen also stopped, and looked in the direction of Matthew with some surprise.

In the next second, Luo Zhen understood what was going on, and turned to look to the side.

There, one wall is decorated with tempered glass, revealing the exterior of the facility.

It's just that it's not a beautiful sight.

A cold wind blows, allowing white snow to sweep across the land, covering the peaks and covering the world.

The sky was blank and gray, and it was frighteningly gloomy.

Matthew stood in the hallway, stunned at the scene.

No, it would be more accurate to say that I was looking at the direction of the sky.

Its delicate face carries a trace of emotion that is not clear to outsiders.

That emotion is called loneliness.

"Matthew." Luo Zhen stretched out his hand, put it on Matthew's shoulder, touched the previous listlessness, and said softly, "Are you okay?" ”

"Hmm..." Matthew nodded, but instead of looking in the direction of Luo Zhen, he continued to stare at the sky and asked, "I heard that the real sky is blue, Senpai." ”

It was a sight that was completely invisible in the Chaldees.

At the same time, it is also a sight that Matthew has never seen before.

In this regard, Luo Zhen could only respond like this.

"yes." Luo Zhen also stared at the sky, and inexplicable emotions appeared in his eyes for a moment, and then returned to a casual state, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "It's very blue, Matthew will have a chance to see it in the future." ”

This sentence completely woke up Matthew, who was out of his mind.

"Ahh I'm sorry, senior, obviously senior..."

In a word, before he could finish it, he was interrupted by Luo Zhen.

"Okay, don't think too much, I don't care." Luo Zhen smiled and said to Matthew: "Let's hurry up and go to the control room, otherwise we will really be scolded." ”

"Hmm." Matthew could only nod his head.

The two of them picked up their steps again and walked forward.

It's like the conversation just had happened, and it didn't happen at all.
