Chapter 11 Consciousness as a Vortex
Hotaru thought that she was facing away from No. 3, so the other party couldn't see her expression, but in fact, No. 3's body was a rune core, relying on magic to observe the surrounding situation, and her magic projection was just a terminal for external communication, and it was just for the sake of looking good outside, so the envious expression of the silver-haired girl had long been in the eyes of artificial intelligence.

You can tell from your expression what you're thinkingβit's really unpretentious and simple.
Number 3 didn't stop pouring information into the stored crystal, and as she worked, she made a mental assessment that this direct thought alone was quite similar to her master's.
After breaking away from the world of Karlis and coming to the continent of Mycrof, No. 3, with the help of Joshua and the maids, truly saw a vibrant and orderly world.
The flowing river, the fluttering white clouds, the harmonious and fresh wind, and the countless people living in the city, for her, an artificial intelligence who has been facing a barren and dusty world since the beginning of her birth, everything on the Microf continent is the most beautiful scenery.
She still remembered the surprise she felt when she went to the Black Forest with Joshua to see all kinds of other magical beasts and plants.
Such a colorful, innumerable land of life, such a cycle of reincarnation, full of vitality of nature...... It really satisfies all of No. 3's imagination of the world of order.
However, while the scenery made her feel joyful and uplifting, No. 3 couldn't help but remember the barren world full of gravel, the borderless plains of dust.
Before the Chaos invasion, the world full of rocks and ruins should have been the same, right? There are many strange creatures, many intelligent races live on the same continent, whether it is the sky, the earth or the sea, there will never be a shortage of life.
But now, everything has turned to dust and scattered to ashes, the fire of civilization has been extinguished thousands of years ago, cities and magnificent wonders have been reduced to ruins, life has been extinct, there is nothing left, even the world, is on the verge of end.
At that time, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed when she thought of these things, but a voice came from her side.
"Something recalled."
The black-haired warrior pushed a cart with a rune core, and he asked calmly, "Do you remember the world of Karlis?" β
Yes.
No. 3 remembered that he had answered this at the time, and Joshua was silent for a while, and while thinking, he slowly said to her word by word, word by word, "I know what the future holds. β
The man was wearing a black military coat and a long sword pinned to his waist, which was especially conspicuous in the snow-covered forest, but the beasts around him did not have the slightest desire to attack him, but would quietly hide their bodies and walk around him, and Joshua fell silent again after saying that.
Number 3 awaits his follow-up.
After a while, the warrior finally spoke, his voice low and solemn: "Twenty-two years later, the Mycrof continent, like Karlis, will encounter a chaotic invasion, countless abyssal demons will ravage the world, and the current scenery will all turn into purgatory scorched earth and bottomless swamp in the future, which is a worse scene than the Karlis world." β
Joshua's tone seemed to narrate the facts, without the slightest ups and downs, and it was as serious as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
Know what's to come?
Even if you think about it now, Number 3 will feel that this is a very nonsense thing, even the gods of fate and the world itself dare not say that they can know the future, but I don't know why, whether it was then or now, the AI is willing to believe in Joshua, even if it does not fit her thinking circuit.
"I don't want to be a savior at all, but no one wants their place to be mud or char, so I'll do my best to defeat them."
When he said this to No. 3 directly, the warrior at that time did not hide it, and told her his thoughts: "I brought you back from Karlis, half, because I didn't want my companion to die senselessly, and half, because of the magical energy information in your memory core. β
Number 3 doesn't get angry at such direct words, she doesn't have that kind of thinking. The AI just calmly listened to Joshua tell her what he thought.
According to Joshua, the magical technology information she possesses is a great technology that can usher in a new era, it can replace the power source of the old era, so that civilians can also use it, enjoy the convenience brought by magic, and can greatly enhance the technological development of materials, weapons and armor in this world.
Joshua said that the McCrove Continent originally had extremely powerful individual forces, and if it was coupled with the armament of the Karlisian Magic Energy Technology, it would definitely be a leap forward.
"At least, after the popularization of magic technology, those Aragami in the world of Karlis, these minions of chaos, will become vulnerable to us."
At that time, the warrior said, "So, give me all the information in your memory, help me, and kill all the disgusting Chaos monsters and evil gods." β
β¦β¦
Coming back to his senses, Number 3's mind returned to the small study in the church.
The silver-haired girl was still sitting in the corner, waiting for her work to be done, and the storage crystal in her hand was almost full.
Joshua had promised her that after today's work was completed, she would let Hotaru take her to observe and experience the life of the people in the city, something she had been looking forward to for a long time.
This feeling of hope is not bad.
At this time, Joshua was still discussing with Nostradamus about the construction of the mage academy that they tentatively named [Winter Castle].
Due to the great stakes, today is only a rough finalization of the cooperation plan and future engineering issues, and the specific details need to wait for the old master to come to the north to inspect in person after he has time, and choose the construction site of the academy.
Both Joshua and Nostradamus were looking forward to this day.
"I've been thinking about opening a new mage academy for a long time, and the nobles who are willing to cooperate with me basically don't have enough conditions, and the nobles who have enough to build and develop the territory of the mage academy are basically conservatives...... The plane-time fluctuations in the Northlands were too drastic to open a teleportation channel, and it wasn't in my mind at first, but now it's different. β
The old mage's slightly echoed voice came from the communication circle, sounding with a hint of a smile: "Joshua, when the construction of Wintercastle begins, your name will definitely be on the Blacklist of the Conservative Party, and you will be secretly cursed by many people." β
"What does it matter, who cares what they think."
Joshua laughed the same, his fingers tapping on the tabletop, a scornful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Only the weak and the dog will wail behind their backs." β
Of course, he knew that in the future, his name would come out of many people's mouths and echo in the minds of many people, whether it was his own people and knights, or the nobles and mages of the imperial capital, no matter when, someone would definitely repeat his name, thinking about what the actions and choices of the new generation of Earl Winter of the Northland would mean, and what impact it would have on their plans and future.
There is no doubt about this, and today, after finalizing the matter of the Mage Academy, there will definitely be more people who are disgusted with him and will make all kinds of conspiracies and curses against him behind his back, but Joshua doesn't care at all.
The warrior's eyes looked at the table, as if he could penetrate the void and see the future, and there was not the slightest fear or hesitation in his eyes.
He suppressed the rebellion, quelled the demon tide, closed the door of time and space, traveled to another world, and returned safely after defeating countless chaos monsters.
And the strong should have the consciousness of being a whirlpool.
