Chapter 7: The Book of Rogelius
The strong wind outside Chaldea brought the smell of disinfectant in the corridor, making people feel very uncomfortable. Even their lungs were filled with this smell, as if it was indicating something.
"Your father is here!"
Amadeus pushed the door open and entered, aiming directly at the guy who was lying in a Ge You-like posture.
"You're resurrected!"
Alvin simply threw a bottle of stock from his bedside table to the latter, who caught it immediately without even looking at what was thrown. He unscrewed the lid and started drinking.
"It tastes good, black tea?"
"Afternoon tea, in addition to black tea, it also contains sugar and milk. It should be more to your taste."
His body was leaning against the head of the bed, cigarettes and fire were burning, and when the smell of tobacco filled his surroundings, the next topic was continued.
"The relic is the requiem we composed together. From the beginning, we targeted you and Salieri. But we didn't expect to pull you down from the throne of heroes at the beginning."
"Speaking of which, Salieri...his condition is not very good." Amadeus opened his mouth and spoke carefully.
"Has it been stigmatized by the influence of future rumors?"
"It's better to say that they just like this kind of plot. This kind of dramatic story is obviously more in line with the public's taste."
"This is quite in line with the taste of the Anglo-Saxons."
"Ah, indeed."
When it comes to this, both of them expressed their great agreement.
"But he was not completely stigmatized. With the help of the musicians in Vienna at the time, he still retained a certain degree of rationality. Of course, he also remembered what happened in Paris at that time."
"From what you said, you should have discussed this aspect before."
"Yes, but Salieri's answer was beyond my expectations."
Amadeus recalled, cleared his throat, and said in Salieri's voice:
“My shell, my outer shell can be removed like this, but it is meaningless; only by being wrapped in this body can I ascend to the throne of heroes and reunite with my colleagues and juniors in Vienna.]”
"【When we came here, we all had nothing. Even if we could die every day, it was not enough to be afraid. Therefore, I no longer feel disappointed. Therefore, there is nothing to regret.】"
"There is a bit of Salieri in it."
Alvin yawned, and the sudden tiredness caught him off guard, and his eyes gradually began to blink.
"Are you sleepy? Then I'll play some music to help you sleep."
The noisy sound of the wind was mixed with a faint sound of music, like a famous requiem. He felt that the music was mournful and distant, and it brought out the best effect among the sounds of the wind and electronic instruments.
He fell asleep.
"Alvin is in a bad condition."
Amadeus looked through the glass at Alvin lying inside and said to the person next to him.
"——There is more than one demon god in his body. This is the difference between him and me."
Romani's hand paused.
"This is impossible! Even if this happens to the descendants of the seventy-two demon gods, it is impossible for them to inherit the abilities of both parents at the same time, unless..."
"It was a post-natal transformation, and the person who did it was very skilled. It is possible that it was the work of the Four Supreme Pillars. A transformation of this level is worth their effort."
Amadeus knocked on the wall at the bottom of the glass, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he wanted to laugh, but his laugh was very bitter.
"What kind of luck do you have..."
He turned around and leaned against the corridor wall, then rubbed his brow with his middle finger joint, looking very tired. But it was true that anyone who encountered such a thing would feel at a loss as to where to start, even Amadeus, who was so similar in nature, had no clue in a short time.
"Doctor, I want to know your name."
"Romani Achiman."
"Okay, then, Dr. Romani Achiman, I ask you to use all your means and be fully prepared to keep Alvin Vashak alive."
He told Romani seriously that this might be a rare moment in his life.
"As a doctor, this is my responsibility; but I want to ask, why do you use the word 'hang'?"
"It's not why I use this word, but this is the best way to describe my experience as a witness. You should know the cause of my death."
"According to later generations, he died from eating undercooked pork."
"Do you think that as a descendant of the demon god, my immunity would be so poor? There is no such thing in the world."
Amadeus's reply was unexpected. Since the official answer had been ruled out by the real person, the truth of the matter...
"Disguise. My life was taken by Andusias. Even though he expressed regret more than once afterwards, he would do it again if it happened again."
"'In order to continue the future, someone must sacrifice.' That's what it said. And I'm not the only one who said that. If you look carefully, you can find the shadows of the 72 Demon Gods among the geniuses who died young in history. It must be an unprecedented event that allowed the 72 Demon Gods to carry out this plan for a thousand years. From what you said about Flaunos' actions in the singularity, I roughly know what it is."
"Alvin is crucial to both Chaldea and the 72 Demon Pillars. The only difference is whether he lives or dies. I'm going to the control room to check the files of the second singularity. Doctor Romani Achiman, I'll leave Alvin in your care."
After explaining the matter, Amadeus left in a hurry, leaving Romani alone in deep thought.
The arrival of Amadeus made up for what he could not see with the last clairvoyance, but was it really just the Four Supremes that made Alvin like this? Did Baal, Baimon, Astaroth, and Asmodeus reach this level after a thousand years?
She twirled the ring on her hand and paced back and forth in the corridor outside the ward.
Romani was a little skeptical. After all, they had been together for so many years, and she was very clear about the abilities of the seventy-two demons.
But I am not their master.
The Book of Rogelius is said to have been written by Rogelius, one of the seven archangels, and records 1,500 kinds of knowledge about the universe. The Book of Enoch claims that Rogelius gave the book to Adam out of sympathy for him who was about to be expelled from the Garden of Eden.
Later the book was taken away by a jealous angel and thrown into the sea, and finally God sent the violent angel Rahaf to retrieve the book. The story later goes that the book was given to the wise man Enoch, and later to Noah, who built the ark based on the knowledge in the book. Finally, the book was obtained by King Solomon, and its whereabouts after that are unknown.
——There is no such thing as missing, it just changed its name.
By reinterpreting and encrypting the Book of Rogelius, he finally released his only work in his life, The Key of Solomon, to the public through a backdoor listing. To complete the secret of the Book of Rogelius, he signed a contract with himself as a demon and obtained a new name:
Goetia
PS: It is worth mentioning that one of the spokespeople for Afternoon Tea is Audrey Hepburn.
Chapter 8: Reunion after a long separation was impossible from the beginning
After half a month of treatment, Alvin was reluctantly sent to the ward and kicked out.
"In fact, I never understood. Is there some kind of monster out there that makes you never want to go out?"
At Alvin's request, Romani directly rented the wheelchair to him. In his words, this was a form of self-protection - no one would harbor ill will towards a disabled person.
"If you want to push me out and see, you'll know what's going on."
"I'm free during this period anyway, so I'll see what's going on."
Without saying a word, Romani walked behind the wheelchair, held the handles with both hands and pushed him out.
"I have a question, Romani. Doesn't Chaldea have electric wheelchairs?"
"Now that you mention it, it's really rare that such a large organization doesn't have this thing. If you don't need it at night, I'll take it to Da Vinci or Shion to modify it."
"That's a good thing. By the way, Olga Marie, do you still want me to do the modification work on the second singularity? I think I don't need to go since we have Da Vinci."
"Not yet. The director plans to call both of you to record the conversation at the same time, so as to avoid the situation where you two have conflicting testimonies. Few people in Chaldea can figure out why she wants to do that..."
The two of them walked and talked at the same time, and their familiarity did not seem surprising at all, as if this was the way they were supposed to get along.
The further they got from the medical department and the closer they got to the end of the corridor, the more Romani felt something was wrong; until the next corner, when a wheelchair appeared and colorful spray ribbons and other things were sprayed directly on their heads.
"My Mr. Alvin, there would be no IR without you."
“Excuse me, is the producer still hiring?”
“We need more scripts!”
Alvin was prepared for this. While taking the ribbons off their heads and bodies, he pressed down with both hands, signaling them to be quiet.
“First of all, I am very happy that everyone supports Imperator: Rome. From your enthusiasm and attitude, this game has been recognized by everyone; but the only drawback is that this is only the initial version of the game, there is no DLC, no expansion and supplementary MOD, and even the script has not been solved. To be honest, my original idea was to start from the First War of the Diadochi.”
"But your presence makes all this possible. I look forward to more people joining our production team. Those who want to join the IR production team can go to Lord El-Melloi II to sign up. Thank you."
"Oh, by the way, don't forget to clean up these celebration props. You don't want Dr. Romani to be angry, do you?"
After Alvin finished speaking, he quietly tugged at Romani's sleeve. She also cooperated very well and pretended to be as if "if I'm angry, the consequences will be serious". After randomly glancing at a few people, she narrowed her eyes, made an expression as if "I'll remember you", and then pushed Alvin away.
After turning a few more corners and making sure that there was really no one behind them, the two men finally stopped hiding their true colors and started chatting while taking off the ribbons on their bodies.
"Lord El-Melloi II has done a lot of harm to people."
"Yeah, so I have a hard time in the days ahead. Look at this guy. His life as a student was so miserable. Now that he has become a monarch, he has started to exploit people like us who have no background."
"Aren't you afraid of exposing other people's secrets like this?"
"His background is no longer a secret in the entire modern magic field. Before I arrived in London, Lanis had already revealed all of it. As a childhood friend of Lanis, I think the director must have heard about it."
"What are you going to do next? The transfer of spirit particles is impossible, and it is difficult for you to enter the control room. In addition, there is round-the-clock supervision. To put it bluntly, half of your authority has been abolished."
"Look at it from a bright side. At least they have the authority to move freely outside the control room. Speaking of supervision, who do you plan to let be the director?"
"At the moment, you have to choose one from among Akagi Hinako, Shion, and Da Vinci. However, according to Olga Marie's way of treating everyone equally, you will have to deal with them for a long time in the future."
"The Astronomical Science Monarch is really good at selecting people. What a brilliant move."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that you get along so well with them."
Romani felt helpless about this. The previous Olga Marie would not be able to make such a decision. She simply overturned the table to indicate that she didn't want to play anymore.
Everyone will grow.
"Rather than talking about myself, I think the relationship between you and the director is not much different."
"That's another story..."
The simple tidying up didn't take much time, and soon the two of them had cleaned up all the things, and headed towards the glass house in the center of Chaldeas.
Romani was very confused about the relationship between herself and Alvin. They had only known each other for a few months in total, but it seemed like they had known each other for a long time.
Is this what they call love at first sight?
In front of the glass house, he saw the person he wanted to see, but...
"Why don't you carry the books for me instead of just sitting and reading them?"
He looked at Olga Marie in great confusion. When the latter saw the real boss coming, she quietly put away the Chronicle of the Gallic War in her hand.
"Ah, uh, this..."
"No need to hide it, Director Olga Marie, there are no outsiders here."
He probably knew what was going on.
“But does this make me a librarian?”
Alvin looked at the glass wall that was almost covered with bookcases except for the door, then turned back to look at his own books that were packed into several large boxes.
That seems to be the case.
"Remember to sort them." He reminded her as he put the books away. "By the way, Ritsuka, have you prepared the next Heroic Spirit to be summoned by the Spirit Son?"
"Ah, well, after several days of meetings and voting, a candidate has been chosen. In the end, Her Excellency Joan of Arc was voted in almost unanimously as the next person to be summoned."
"Jeanne d'Arc?... Then be careful whether you summon Black or White."
He turned his back to everyone, his face full of unspeakable disappointment and regret. In fact, he had known about this news for a long time. The summoning of Jeanne d'Arc was unexpected, but reasonable. For Chaldea now, Jeanne d'Arc, who can fight, command, and heal, is no different from the hexagonal warrior that Chaldea lacks the most at present - someone like Amadeus can only be unexpected.
Therefore, the fantasy of reunion after a long separation was impossible from the beginning.
"We will see you later."
Chapter 9 He and She and She and She
After writing, Alvin glanced at the two people who were checking his oral report.
"Is this okay?"
The day after moving to the glass house, Alvin went to record, discuss and tamper with Olga Marie and others about the forgery of the report on the second singularity. Under their records, the entire repair process of the second singularity was completely different, including various very exciting plots such as temporary defection, abandonment of darkness to light, sudden decline of intelligence, and deus ex machina.
"That's fine. The more intense the scene, the better. How can we not make the Clock Tower bleed heavily? After all, there has only been one Holy Grail War before this, and they don't have much idea about it."
