Volume 5 The Trial of the Twins Chapter 65 What is a "miracle"?

"Mr. Pathels......"

"Just call me Al."

“…… Okay, Mr. Al. What do you think...... What can be called a 'miracle'? Or what do you think a 'miracle' should look like? ”

Fang Qiuling did not directly answer why he was not interested in the "miracle that has been born", but first threw out a question

"What is a miracle?"

Pastel was "smashed" by Fang Qiuling's question. This question seems to be a bit "out of the ordinary", a little against common sense, and he doesn't know how to answer it. Pastel thought for a moment, then explained it literally:

"A 'miracle' is a 'miracle'. It's hard to imagine things, things that can't be done in general, extraordinary things, great things......"

But as he spoke, Passels' voice grew lower and lower, and finally stopped completely, and the expression on his face became thoughtful.

Karma Luofei was also puzzled when he heard Fang Qiuling's question, and the two magicians behind him even showed a look of contempt, as if they thought that Fang Qiuling was playing tricks. However, as Passel explained the meaning of the words, Karma Luofei's gaze became more and more profound, and the two magicians' expressions of disdain froze, and they quickly became thoughtful.

"So...... The Magic Apprentice played against a regular Magician, and the result was that the Magic Apprentice won. Can this be considered a miracle? Normally, you can't win a fight. Neither magic nor knowledge is on the same level. A regular magician shouldn't lose. ”

Fang Qiuling made a simple list.

“…… It can be said to be a miracle, but it cannot be called a 'miracle'. ”

There seemed to be a contradiction in Passels' words, but everyone around him understood what he was trying to say.

When the magic apprentice wins the regular magician, most people who know the direct story can't help but say: This is a miracle! But is this a miracle? Of course, it's not a miracle, it's not easy for a talented magic apprentice to meet a chaotic magician, but as long as the magic apprentice is willing to pay a sufficient price, there is definitely a chance.

This can only be said to be a small probability event with a relatively low probability, and it is inappropriate to call it a "miracle".

"Then I'll move on to the example...... Or a magic apprentice, a magic apprentice who has just studied for a few days, won against Master Hohenheim. Fang Qiuling gestured with his hand to Karma Luofei, who was standing on the side, "Is this a miracle?" ”

"No, of course not."

Without waiting for Passel to reply, Kalmar Rofe immediately denied it.

It's still a small probability event with a relatively low probability, but the probability is lower. To call it a "miracle" is still inappropriate.

"What kind of opponent did the magic apprentice defeat, which is considered a miracle? Can the Great Magician be? Will the dragon work? ”

The Hohenheim magicians present shook their heads.

The Great Magician is still a human being, as long as he is a human being, a dagger that appears in the right place at the right time can be deadly! Although it is impossible for a dragon to be killed by a dagger, the existence of dragon slaying spears and dragon locks still gives the weak a chance to defeat the strong with the weak, but the chance is very small.

Without the previous two enumerations, the magicians might have considered this a miracle. But with the previous enumeration, this is just a small probability event, and it seems a bit inappropriate to call it a miracle.

"Does the resurrection of the dead count?"

"Not really. Resurrection, while difficult, is not impossible. ”

"What about the fall of the gods?"

"Still doesn't count. From ancient times to the present, are there still few fallen gods? ”

Karma Luofei stretched out his hand and motioned for Fang Qiuling to pause.

“…… Mr. Norn, how do you define 'miracle'? ”

- Since all that has been said, everything that happens with a small probability is vetoed. What would be your point of view?

"My opinion?" Fang Qiuling smiled dumbly, scholar-like magicians are so "cute", and they will unconsciously enter into academic discussions, "I have no opinion. As a mere mortal, I can't define what a 'miracle' is. ”

“……”

The combination of pen, ink and paper floating beside Pastel suddenly froze, and the slightly pointed tip of the quill left a large puddle of unsightly ink on the paper. Kalmar Luofei's face was uncontrollably stunned, and his brow was raised.

- With all that said, are you playing with us?

“…… I can't define 'miracle', to be exact, no one else is suitable for a 'miracle' except for the 'miracle that has been born' itself. This is because those who want to obtain the miracle that has been born do not care about the miracle itself, but rather want our wish to be fulfilled in a way that matches our heart. The 'miracle that has been born' is nothing but a tool, a tool to achieve a wish. Would such a tool be an obedient tool? ”

Passels' eyes lit up, and he grabbed the notebook floating beside him, tore off the ink-stained page, and the quill began to write on the next page.

Hohenheim's purpose in needing a "miracle that has already been born" is relatively simple. They hope to use this miracle to change the perception of "light magic" in the magical academic community, and make the academic community recognize that light magic is a different system from divine magic, so as to gain a place in the field of magic research.

But how the "miracles that have been born" can fulfill their wishes, the magicians of Hoinfheim do not have a concrete idea. In their minds, it should be done in a "miraculous way", or in a "near-miraculous way". And at this moment, Fang Qiuling told them that the "miracle that had been born" was self-aware, how could this not surprise them?

Karma Luofei's gaze immediately straightened. With Karma Luofei's knowledge and experience, he could tell that there was not the slightest element of falsification in Fang Qiuling's words.

INTERVIEWER If the "miracle that has been born" really has self-awareness, what is the essence of this "miracle product"?

Thinking of this, Karma Luofei suddenly felt a little chilled. The two magicians behind him were even more completely shaken, and their faces under the hood were full of disbelief.

"'Miracles that have been born,' that thing is self-aware?"

Xiao Hanqi held the crystal apple and asked Fang Qiuling in a low voice.

Fang Qiuling turned his head slightly and nodded to Xiao Hanqi: "Yes, and 'she' is not a good thing." ”

"Why? MASTER, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW? ”

Avril on the side couldn't help but ask.

When I just heard my master say "no interest at all", Avril's "loyalty" really plummeted, and she almost parted ways immediately. As a summoned Heroic Spirit, she also has her own wishes. When she met a MASTER who was not interested in the final prize at all, her heart was so cold that she almost "defected".

BUT AT THIS MOMENT, HEARING FANG QIULING SAY THAT THE "MIRACLE THAT HAS BEEN BORN" IS NOT A GOOD THING, IT MEANS THAT HIS MASTER IS NOT UNWILLING TO FIGHT FOR IT, BUT HE HAS LONG KNOWN THAT "MIRACLE" IS NOT A GOOD THING, AND AVRIL'S "LOYALTY" IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO RISE.

"Uh...... Didn't I tell you? Fang Qiuling's black and white eyes were full of innocence, "...... Well, I really didn't say that. So let's talk about it briefly. ”

He coughed softly.

"Everybody has a wish. Let's not talk about the good or bad wishes, that is, the good intentions and the malicious wishes, let's talk about the wishes themselves. Legend has it that there is an artifact called the 'Universal Wish Machine', which can grant any wish in a miraculous way. This artifact is called the 'Holy Grail'......"

"The Holy Grail is the product of a miracle, undoubtedly one of the few recognized 'miracles'. However, it is impossible to determine whether the physical miracle it represents is the creation of the Creator, the creation of the gods, or the creation of the sages. After all, the Holy Grail itself has disappeared, and I haven't heard of a god or powerful transcendent being who has taken it in. ”

"The so-called 'miracle that has been born', 'she' is just a projection of the Holy Grail in the world, and it is not very complete projection. In fact, the so-called Holy Grail, or similar 'wish machines' that are currently circulating in the world, are all imitations and forgeries based on the original Holy Grail. The basic principle is to deal with 'desire' as a big concept through conceptual reference and mapping, so as to obtain the basic priesthood, and then to gain the ability to collect and store beliefs. ”

Fang Qiuling's words paused slightly.

"All of you present are spellcasters, and we know how to obtain magic power, and we also know that the essence of magic power is the reflection of the power of the 'Source Sea' in the real world. But how many people know that the essence of the 'Source Sea', or 'Extreme Source', contains chaos? ”

"The Big Bang at the beginning of the world was the product of the chaotic collision. The original gods were also born and in chaos, and they were the more definite part of the will of chaos. So when enough of the Source forces are gathered, then it is only natural that creation will give birth to the Self, which is what we call Spiritual Wisdom. ”

"Faith is a strength. Since it is power, then nature is also the reflection of the power of the 'source sea' in the real world. Enough faith comes together, and the will that is born from faith is the 'miracle that has been born'. I'd like to ask you a question......"

Fang Qiuling looked at the four magicians in front of him.

"You think that the desire of mankind ...... No, it should be the desire of all intelligent beings, is it more benevolent or more malicious? ”

“…… And malicious wishes? ”

Xiao Hanqi didn't seem to understand Fang Qiuling's words very much, and muttered to herself.

"Of course, it's malicious." Fang Qiuling didn't sell it, and quickly explained, "For example...... That fat guy downstairs is always stealing something from me to eat, and I want him to fall to his death when he goes out! For example, the fat man downstairs never takes a shower, he stinks to death, and I hope he will fall to his death when he goes out! For another example, the fat man downstairs has a very obscene gaze, and it makes people uncomfortable when he sees it, and I hope he will fall to his death when he goes out! ”

Xiao Hanqi rolled her eyes.

- Don't say it, I understand! You just let the fat man downstairs fall to his death a few times!
