Chapter 779: Isn’t [Ouroboros] an enemy?

Faced with Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, His Highness and the others had no intention of keeping the secret for their companions, and readily revealed all of Maxwell's information.

"Paradox demon, Maxwell's demon..."

This guy named Maxwell does have a close relationship with the famous physicist.

Its essence is a scientific hypothesis proposed by the other party based on the second law of thermodynamics. It is an example of the second type of perpetual motion machine, but it has been falsified by later generations.

In addition, Maxwell's demon, Zeno's tortoise, Laplace's beast and Schrödinger's cat are also known as the four mythical beasts of physics.

"I see."

Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded, glanced at the other person again and then looked away, not paying too much attention.

In fact, her understanding of Maxwell's demon was only at the level of the four great beasts in physics. At most, she could only marvel at the magic of the box garden, where even simple concepts could be transformed into entities.

However, when I thought about the existence of nursery rhymes in Chaldea, I felt that this level was not surprising.

If Tesla, Einstein and others were here, they might be more interested in this guy.

Back to the topic.

In short, the story is very simple. Maxwell was the person sent by Ouroboros to break into the prison. Unfortunately, the other party did not understand the specific situation here and wasted the opportunity, which allowed Fujimaru Ritsuka and others to catch him red-handed.

Lin glanced at the unconscious Maxwell with disdain, then spread her hands helplessly and said:
"In short, this guy is just a perverted idiot, please don't take it too seriously."

"Hey, is he a pervert?"

"Yes, she's a super perverted lolita."

"Tsk..."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka moved away from Maxwell with some disdain, then looked back at His Highness and the others and said:
"Let's get to the point."

"If possible, I would like to know the information about Ouroboros."

"Personally, I don't mind betraying the organization, but..."

In response to Fujimaru Ritsuka's straightforward remarks, Lin shrugged helplessly again, looking helpless.

However, before her words faded away, she heard His Highness suddenly speak:

"can."

"——Huh?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and his companions beside him also widened their eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

His Highness used his eyes to signal his companions to calm down first, and then said to Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"But before that, I want to confirm one thing—"

"Are you from Chaldea?"

“——!”×4
After these words were spoken, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were slightly stunned, and immediately changed their expressions to surprised.

"She is from Chaldea..."

When Lin and others heard His Highness's speech, they also looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in surprise. While they kept looking at her, a hint of enlightenment flashed in their eyes, as if they understood something.

Coming back to his senses, Fujimaru Ritsuka exchanged a glance with Holmes, and then immediately asked His Highness:
"How do you know about Chaldea?"

You know, since she came to the small garden, she has never publicized the existence of Chaldea. In the small garden, the number of people and forces who know about the existence of Chaldea should be very few, and they can probably be counted on one hand.

if so……

"It seems so."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's reaction said it all. Seeing this, His Highness showed an inquiring and interested look, and then continued:
"We haven't been told much about the details of Chaldea. But one thing is certain—"

"Ouroboros is not Chaldea's enemy."

[Ouroboros] Isn't it Chaldea's enemy?
Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned slightly, finding that the direction of events suddenly became complicated, as if he was trapped in a Rashomon.

Let's first review the cause and effect of the whole incident:
Initially, she was invited to the Hakoniwa by the three venerables, but they did not specify what she was to do;
Later, Sun Wukong found her, and after some explanations, she finally had a clear goal: to defeat the [Final Trial of Humanity] and to capture the mysterious Demon King Alliance hiding in the dark and wanting to destroy the box garden;

After some investigation, they roughly determined that this mysterious Demon King Alliance was [Ouroboros]. However, now the members of the other party told her that they were not her enemies...

"Why should I believe what you say?"

"I really can't provide convincing evidence. However, I can guarantee that what I'm going to say next is true."

His Highness said calmly:
"We received such an order not long ago—"

"'Search for people from Chaldea, bring them as our companions, and treat them with the utmost respect.'"

"Why don't you come with us to find the teacher? He was the one who informed us of this order."

At the same time, Lin on the side said with a smile:

"And unlike us little minions, he is a genuine Ouroboros high-ranking official, holding countless secrets that even we have no way of knowing."

"Since you are from Chaldea, I think he would be happy to answer any questions you have."

"Um... in other words, you want to invite me to your base camp?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not answer immediately, but scratched his cheek and said:

"I think this is developing too fast."

"——Besides, what you just said was just your one-sided opinion, right?"

At this time, Pest, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke and sneered at Lin:
"You don't even have the slightest sincerity. You just want people to follow you with empty words. Isn't that ridiculous? Do you think others are easy to fool?"

"You have a really sharp tongue, little Pest."

Lin raised her hands in surrender, then said with a smile:
"However, we are only speaking the truth now. It is up to you to decide what to choose."

"Humph."

Pest snorted coldly, looking very displeased with Lin, but she was unable to refute what she said, so she turned her gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka, as if urging her to make a choice.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was a little embarrassed about this, but at this time, Kukulkan beside him said with some doubt:

"By the way, aren't we here to get information this time?"

"……what."

After hearing what Kukulkan said, she realized belatedly how the topic had been diverted without her noticing.

Then she thought of something and looked at Holmes beside her.

The other party seemed to be thinking about something and hadn't spoken since just now. She felt it was not appropriate to disturb him.

On the other side, His Highness's expression remained calm. He said:
"Although there is an 'order', since you have not yet joined Ouroboros, I can only provide limited information."

"But at the same time, I have a relatively compromising proposal."

As he spoke, he glanced at Maxwell who was lying on the ground and said:

"Since you are unwilling to go to the Ouroboros' base, how about turning around and letting Lin's teacher, Xinglejia, come here to meet you?"

"I believe he would be happy to come in person and talk to the Chaldeans whose hearts he cherishes."

As for the task of delivering the message, it was naturally left to Maxwell.

"Should we let the other party come over?"

After pondering for a moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded decisively:

"so be it."
