Magician in Type-Moon

Simply put, she has completely delegated the thinking to Matou Ike.

As for Medea's answer, Matou Ike simply ruffled her hair affectionately and then said:

"No, I meant his trick of turning gold coins into silver coins."

"Isn't that just a trick?" Medea looked up at Matou Ike, completely unconcerned that her hair had been messed up.

"That's right. The foundation of modern magic is mainly based on the clock tower, and clock tower magic is essentially deception, which is also the method commonly used by most magicians."

Matou Ike smiled and then said:

"Moreover, I remember that this casino allows cheating, which means that cheating itself can be used as a means."

Medea nodded; she understood what Matou Ike meant.

"So what should we do next? Should we transform this goose egg into something else? Turn it into a golden egg?"

Medea looked at Matou Ike with a blank expression.

Matou Ike, on the other hand, gave her a flick on the forehead in a rather annoyed manner.

"Why do I get the feeling that you're no longer willing to think?"

"Isn't it because you're right here beside me?"

Her almost coquettish words left Matou Ike speechless.

He picked up the card, placed it in front of Medea, and pointed to the two words on it.

"wall" and "fall"

Medea, being Greek, looked at the two words for a while but still couldn't figure out what they meant, even though she had indeed been given some knowledge about modern English when she was summoned.

Seeing that Medea had no reaction, Matou Ike had no choice but to explain again.

"You have to look at the roots and differences. The word 'wall' is composed of 'w-all', and the word 'fall' is composed of 'f-all'. In English, 'all' means everything, and in the magic world, it means the world itself."

Seeing Medea's slightly distracted expression, Matou Ike paused for a moment before continuing:

"As for the origin of the world, there are two theories in your Greeks. One is the origin of water proposed by 'Thales', and the other is the origin of fire proposed by 'Heraclitus'. This is also the foundation of modern magic theory."

The five basic elements of magic are earth, water, wind, fire, and air.

Therefore, whether it is the origin of water or the origin of fire, both of these doctrines are definite things in the mystical realm and are sufficient to refer to the world itself.

"So you mean that 'w' stands for 'water' and 'f' stands for 'fire'?"

Medea, who possessed some knowledge of modern English, quickly grasped this point after Matouchi's explanation.

The implications are already clear enough, after all, even this nursery rhyme is a British nursery rhyme.

Such questions are not too difficult, but they are enough to filter out most magicians or magicians who do not have a solid foundation in modern occultism.

This initial screening is quite reasonable.

After all, there are no difficult points.

Matou Ike picked up where Medea left off and continued:

"Well, in terms of the order of 'action' leading to 'results', the answer should be to simply transform 'water' into 'fire'."

Chapter 451 Entrance

"That's not difficult, but how do you do it?"

Medea looked at her man, her starry eyes filled with adoration.

Matou Ike almost blushed from that almost drool-worthy gaze.

He had no choice but to look away from Medea and continue speaking:

"Humpty Dumpty is the subject, meaning the one to whom the external force is applied, so I think..."

Matouchi stretched out the hand holding the goose egg.

Since the Matou family's inherited attribute is water, it is not difficult for them to condense a ball of water from the air.

Gradually, the water sphere began to envelop the entire goose egg.

It floated in mid-air.

However, Matouike did not intend to use deception to complete the next step.

Instead, they want to directly complete the conversion of the base attributes.

Several translucent white worms slowly emerged from his body.

This is a familiar that was created using his flesh and blood as a basis.

The worm slowly crawled into the water sphere in the air, following the fingertip of Matou Ike.

A magic spell called "Synchro" began to bloom within the worm's body.

The familiar, which is based on "water", instantly meshes with the gears upon encountering real water.

The frequency and wavelength of the magic also corresponded instantly.

The synchronization has begun.

What follows is the power called Typhon.

The power itself had long been integrated with Matouchi's body, and the worm was originally part of Matouchi's body.

To use God's authority to reconstruct the wavelength of reality.

Instead of "fraud", Matouike chose "cheating".

The scorching flames rose from the water sphere in an instant.

Anyone who can't use a cheat code is a fool, and Matou Ike certainly wouldn't be so stupid as to use magic to reconstruct reality.

And that goose egg, at the moment the water enveloping it transformed into fire.

It shattered with a "crack".

Its contents did not explode, but instead transformed into a black character that flew into the "crocodile" card held in Matouchi's other hand.

Matou Ike raised the card again.

It was discovered that the original two characters above had changed after being distorted.

"Four-score men and four-score more, could not make Humpty Dumpty where he was."

Matou Ike slowly read aloud the words that had reappeared on the card.

At this point, he looked at a roulette wheel on the wall.

Because it's the only thing associated with numbers.

Medea also looked over at the same time.

"The numbers on the roulette wheel are only 0 to 36."

"...Isn't there an 80?"

Matou Ike was not discouraged by this, but instead fell into thought again.

"The short, fat man didn't make it back..."

While pondering, Matou Ike found a small booklet in a corner of the room.

The brochure contained an image of a roulette wheel.

It's supposedly a European roulette game.

"Is it roulette? Then in this case, it's not 80 (Eighty). It's represented by four 20s (Four-score)."

Matouchi pondered the gambling knowledge he had learned over the past two days and said this.

Roulette is a betting method where you win when the ball lands on a black or red area of ​​a roulette wheel; it is also called color betting.

If you guess correctly, you get double your bet, but there are many other betting methods. The highest odds are for precisely selecting a number that will make the ball go in, which pays out to you at 36 times the bet.

Medea immediately understood what Matouchi meant, after all, she hadn't been idle these past two days either.

"But there's no way to get four times the return on a 20-bet bet."

"Well..."

At this moment, sand fell down.

One-third has already fallen.

"What about four 20s, plus another four 20s? That is, Four-score and Four-score."

Matouchi refers to betting on the four numbers around the same number together.

This is simply a rule, called a corner bet.

In European roulette, you can bet 20 on any of the four corners.

Medea then said:

"If you bet 20 cents on everything, then the number would be between 16 and 27."

While Medea was speaking, Matou Ike had already made his move.

He pressed his hand to position 16, and at the same time, the roulette wheel suddenly started spinning.

May you have good fortune upon opening the door.

But Matouike was not pleased by this.

Instead, continue holding down position 16 and move to the original position 27.

However, the roulette wheel came to a standstill as a result.

"Isn't that wrong?" Matou Ike asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I think it might be a tarot card,” Medea suddenly said.

She pointed to the card held between Matou Ike's fingers, on which a crocodile was depicted, its body twisting and turning with lifelike agility.

"I see." Matou Ike looked at the card and instantly understood Medea's meaning.

Because the magician who named the Tarot cards Arcanas once said that all the Arcanas correspond to Egyptian gods, and the crocodile—the crocodile is 0.
