Science/Magic 32 Departure 2

"Bloed, what kind of magic beast is it? I have never heard of it." Liu Ying asked after she calmed down. She was looking around and touching Leto while trying to remember if she knew a beast like this.

She was sure that a metallic wolf able to change its shape would not be an unknown magic beast, but strangely, she could not find any information about it in her memories.

Regina looked at Liu Ying in disdain. "How ignorant…"

Liu Ying furrowed her brows, but she did not talk back. She had seen the death of all her loved ones, so a small insult like this was nothing to her.

Bloed smiled wryly. "It's not a magic beast."

"Huh? Is it not?"

"How can I explain it… Leto and t.i.to are mechanical constructs. Mmm, a kind of golem if you want to call them like that."

"Golems?" Liu Ying could not believe her ears. She had seen golems before, and none was so cool, beautiful, and incredible like this.

Bloed smiled at her and tried to explain. "Leto and t.i.to were created using nanorobotics. They are made of millions of nanorobots the size of a grain of sand connected through an electronic network that allows them to share information and change shape at will."

Liu Ying was stupefied. She could not understand anything Bloed said.

However, she did not want to look ignorant. Besides, she knew a bit about golems.

"A construct like this must use a great amount of mana, right? How did you get it?" She asked.

An expression of pride appeared on Bloed's face. "The energy source was a stroke of genius. Both Leto and t.i.to had a core inside them. I used magic runes to use [Molecular Disintegration] pa.s.sively as a source of energy. Each second, the cores catch small molecules found in the wind and disintegrate them until turning them into pure energy. In other words, if the core is intact, their energy is limitless!"

Liu Ying looked at Bloed and got the impression they were living in completely different worlds. They could understand nothing.

Regina saw Liu Ying's expression and sneered. "Master, don't waste your words with her. It's obvious she can't understand anything."

Liu Ying's expression darkened. She shot an angry gaze towards Regina.

Unfortunately, Regina's words were right. She got completely lost after hearing the first twenty words.

Bloed smiled helplessly when he heard Regina. "Sorry about it, I got excited when I talk about technology. Also, Regina, stop looking for trouble. It's normal if she doesn't understand."

Regina smiled arrogantly. "You are right, master. How can someone like her understand science?"

Liu Ying flushed red in fury. Now she felt even more indignant than before.

Moreover, what was science? Technology? Molecules? Disintegrate? Liu Ying had confidence in her education as a princess, but she did not understand half of the words Bloed used.

Bloed smiled wryly and tried to explain again. This time, he tried to use words that Liu Ying could understand. But although Liu Ying understood the words, she did not understand what he was trying to explain.

She simply did not understand the concepts explained by Bloed.

Bloed sighed resignedly. As expected, It was hard for the people in this world to understand science and technology.

After all, everything in this world was based on magic. Magic could do many things, leading to a magic-based civilization where all the researchs were focused in the field of magic.

Bloed did not think it was wrong, though. Maybe a few hundreds of years later, magic could reach to a level similar to earth's industrial revolution, or maybe the information age. But meanwhile, this world was far behind the confederation when it comes to the understanding of the world.

Bloed decided to lead the conversation to other topics. It was obvious that talking about technology would only make Liu Ying uncomfortable, plus, he was curious about what happened to the outside world after he was exiled.

Bloed's social skills were pretty good, despite living a great part of his life isolated and other small part fighting against monsters. It was probably thanks to Camilla. Camilla was very sociable and outspoken, so Bloed learned it from her.

In just a few minutes, he had learned many things from Liu Ying. He learned that she was exiled one year ago after her parents and siblings were killed.

Bloed used that information to conclude that the demon empire went through civil strife, and the former emperor lost. As a member of the imperial family, Liu Ying was supposed to die, but for some reason, she was spared and instead exiled to this place together with some of her family retainers.

Unfortunately, Liu Ying did not have much information about the other kingdoms. It was normal, after all, communication between kingdoms was scarce, and most of it came in the form of rumors brought by merchants.

Bloed also told her some information about him, such as when he was exiled and how he survived his first days of exile. However, he did not mention anything about why he was exiled or his former family.

Regina talked the least of the three. She just sat beside Bloed with her eyes closed and occasionally shot Liu Ying distrustful gazes.

Liu Ying did not know why Regina seemed to dislike her, but she bore with it. After all, they would not be together for long.

Suddenly, Regina opened her eyes.

"Master, trouble."

Bloed frowned. "Magic beasts? Again?"

"Yes." Regina nodded. "But this time the amount is much higher than before."

Bloed's expression turned dark. "This is the fourth attack in the last few days. It looks like we attracted the attention of the controller."

Liu Ying tensed up. She stood up and looked to the distance but could not find anything besides a lone eagle in the sky.

"Where are they?" She frowned.

Regina smiled. "You will see them soon. Actually, it's in part your fault. We started to be attacked after we rescued you."

Liu Ying froze.

Bloed sighed and hit Regina's head with a karate chop. "Stop that. it's not her fault. Rather than that, tell me the ETA of the enemy."

Regina pouted and nodded. "Two minutes, but more monsters are approaching quickly. We will be surrounded soon."

"How troublesome. Leto, full speed ahead! t.i.to, armor!"

*Woof!*

t.i.to's body turned into metallic sand and enveloped Bloed. One second later, a beautiful sci-fi looking armor was covering Bloed's body.

Liu Ying did not have time to be surprised, though, because the monsters were already in sight.

Seeing the unending sea of monsters, Liu Ying started to think that maybe she was not going to survive today.
