Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

The second is a beautiful black glove embellished with four-colored gems, which everyone has, and is the medium for solidifying the [Repulsion Field].

Luo Qixi immediately put it on her hand with a smile and introduced it to her parents, and she couldn't help but put a little show-off in her tone.

The second one is from October 15, 414 in the Jialong calendar:

The space it occupies is quite large. Rather than being called a "gift" or "shared property between master and apprentice", it is better to say that almost all of them are various materials, consumables and reusable resources that Gawain and Sylphy left for Lokisi. They are gifts to her, and they hope that she will give them to the village.

"You're such an idiot! If you hadn't reminded me of this, I would have definitely overlooked it."

——The value of magic lies in creation.

This was the arrogant words that Gawain declared to everyone, but Roxy felt and acknowledged it as never before.

Of course, the next sentence is not so friendly.

——A profession that only involves killing people is worthless.

This was mocking the swordsman.

But it also made Lokisi, who had just been complacent about her own achievements because of Gawain's praise, smile bitterly. Gawain, you are also a fool. You obviously look down on things like fighting with only strength, but you think my childish behavior of showing off my martial arts is terrible. It's so shameful that I want to bury my head in the sand.

The third one is from December 27, 414 in the Jialong calendar:

It's a return gift. I don't understand why there's so much Red Dragon material, but saying "I found it on the road" is so meaningless, isn't it? After all, Gawain, how did you manage to cross several continents in such a short time? Your magic power is definitely not enough, right? Can your body really handle it? Are you really okay? Are you traveling while healing? Don't do things that will make people worry!

The gift was packed in a large box. When it was opened, it revealed a set of accessories in dark colors, including two black and gold-woven headbands, a lotus-red ruby ​​hair accessory, and a cyan teardrop-shaped pendant.

This idiot is definitely path-dependent, right? He doesn't even know what giving these things to girls means, so he just gives them away randomly? Besides, adventurers don't have any use for these exquisite decorations!

Luo Qixi put the pendant on her neck, placed it on her palm, and asked her mother beside her curiously:

"Does it look good?"

Lokali gave an ambiguous smile and then held down her anxious husband.

“Super pretty!”

Luo Qixi put it into her clothes with satisfaction.

The fourth one is from March 21, 415 of the Jialong calendar:

This is nothing much to say, and it is also the new equipment that the four masters and apprentices usually have. But Luo Qixi was very touched that Gawain still thought about her across the whole world and was willing to spend a lot of time and energy to send these to her.

It was a magic short spear, twenty superalloy bullets engraved with magic circles, and a large bag of superalloy marbles, along with a manual for the magic spear and instructions on how to use the marbles from Rudy.

Luo Qixi felt that as long as she had this weapon, even if the Spelud tribe, the legendary DEAD END, came to attack the village, she would be able to shoot them to death on the spot.

After packing up her own luggage and the pile of things Gawain had sent her, she sighed that this idiot was exactly what Rudy had called a "traveling frog." Then, she sat back down at the tea table, sighing over her hot tea.

"I really don't know how to respond..."

Lokali nodded her chin and said thoughtfully:

"You don't need to return the gift, right? Little Gawain took a lot of things on his own initiative. He said these are enough. Oh, and he also said you shouldn't be stingy with the magic stones and magic crystals he left for you. I almost forgot, he left an extra small box of these sparkling stones for you. Dad seems to have forgotten to take it out."

Luo Qixi was surprised:

"But we don't have anything valuable to give in return, right?"

The young teacher hung her head. She had no doubt that even if she sold the entire village, it would not be enough to cover the value of the gift.

Luo Yin, who seemed to be in a bad mood, counted and said:

"Gawain is taking away several sets of your childhood clothes and some common village decorations to hang in the new house."

"my clothes?!"

"Yes, in addition to that, he also took away the sword in our house, the various crops and livestock produced in the village, and the little Lokisi doll we made for you, the literacy book, and the animal stuffed animals."

Luo Qixi's defense was broken:

"Is he coming to my house to purchase goods?!"

Luo Yin and Luo Kali both lowered their heads:

"But even if I give him the house, I can't repay his kindness, right? Lokisi, you should know how much good things Gawain has brought to the village, even though he always says he's just helping you get started..."

Luo Qixi stood up and patted her flat chest:

"It's okay! Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I'll take care of it. Leave the follow-up in the village to me."

Because I've grown up.

I will use the strength and knowledge I have gained to transform my hometown, which once caused me pain and was misunderstood by me, into a beautiful place full of happiness and hope that can be accepted and loved by my fellow countrymen and me.

This is how I use my power, Gawain.

As for favors, if you deliberately care about and calculate them, you will destroy the other person's intentions, right?

Luo Qixi supported her hands behind her back, looked up at the patio inside the house, and sighed:

"We've been apart for so long, I really want to know what they've become."

Lokali continued:

"The last time I came here, little Gawain was already taller than you, Lokisi? Yeah, even taller than his dad! He was still a little kid when I first saw him."

Luo Yin was so anxious that his face turned red:

"The Vitrum tribe, from which Gawain comes, has such a long lifespan, yet their growth rate is almost the same as ours. This is too unfair!"

Luo Qixi was confused:

"Vetrum? Longevity? What are you talking about, Dad?"

After listening to her parents' detailed account of Gawain's visits, Luo Qixi felt lost again. She was convinced that the guy had done it on purpose. How could an immortal who could fly conceal such a thing? How abhorrent!

Lokali worriedly took her daughter's hand and asked:

"Luo Qixi, do you want to take a bath and relax? I'm just going to cook."

Luo Qixi decided not to show a confused and doubtful expression anymore. She was a mature and steady Luo Qixi. She asked as calmly as possible:

"Is bathing becoming popular in the village now? That's right, with the advent of water magic, water shouldn't be so stressful. And mom, I want to have the most traditional turtle meat soup tonight."

She didn't believe Gao Wen's prejudiced words.

It's just pure food culture discrimination.

Lokali stood up with a smile:

"Okay, although we don't eat traditional flavors much anymore, since you miss it, Luo Qixi. As for taking a bath, Gawain told us before that you like taking a bath very much, and it seems to be very popular in the Central Continent, so we made a bath tub specially for you."

Luo Qixi frowned slightly, but still picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked calmly:

"Why are we talking about bathing?"

Lokali nodded her chin again, and after a moment of contemplation, she finally remembered:

"Well... He had already left, but he came back to ask us if you took a bath when you were a child."

The tea was sprayed out.

After taking a bath, the person who drank the soup and chewed the meat vomited all over the floor.

Luo Qixi decided to set off to escape to the Sky Continent tomorrow.

Note 1: Regarding Gao Wen's real thoughts, the answer is in the title.

Note 2: I still remember Rudy’s expression when he drank the village broth in the first season, but I don’t know what kind of meat it was.

Chapter 39 Anniversary

October 9, 415 Jialong calendar year

It has been a year since Gawain and Sylphy came to Roa City.

As their lives became more stable, the city of Roya and the entire territory of Fitoya did not encounter the turbulent waves that many nobles were wary of.

If the appearance of Gawain Vitrudia, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce, was reckless and lawless, then his subsequent behavior was seen by relevant people as proof of his succumbing to the underlying rules of the world of fame and fortune.

So what if we are strong?

Isn't it true that he can only bully others in a rural area like Feitoya Territory? He just relies on the support of the lord.

The nobles did not believe that Gawain Vitrudia's arrogant behavior when he first appeared was just to prevent his adopted sister from being bullied in the city college.

This kind of excuse is really hilarious.

In short, in the eyes of the upper class in Fitoya County, the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce most likely learned a lesson and understood the truth when it entered the royal capital circle, so it calmed down and stopped expanding wildly like a mad dog in the countryside.

Even though the current Vitrum Chamber of Commerce was still not a force comparable to that of their mid-level nobles, as long as it obeyed the rules of the Asura Kingdom's ruling class, there was no fundamental difference between them. In the past, the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce was a terrifying intruder, rightly feared. Now, it was nothing more than a slightly stronger barbarian dog under the feet of the royal family. They were all dogs, and they were all the same.

In a sense.

What the upper class in Fitoya said was correct.

Gawain had indeed learned a lesson when he was trying to enter the capital circle and use the magic spear he had just completed mass production as a stepping stone to open up the market. As a result, he abandoned his original expansion plan and turned to a more peaceful and casual development.

But this lesson comes from Rudy's advice.

In the past, Gawain did strive to control his strength, a comprehensive one. While following Elinalize's teachings, he did his best to disguise himself as a native. But after abandoning his time with Elinalize, Gawain gradually became more self-indulgent, even though he still had a bottom line: "Maintain this peaceful life until Sylphy's death."

Therefore, Gawain did not use the technology of Vitrum, nor did he use the knowledge of Vitrum, nor did he use his own special ability as a Vitrum except the ability to fly.

He felt that this was enough. As long as he maintained this state, he would not overturn the world or destroy his peaceful life.

But Gawain clearly overestimated the stability of civilization.

The magic spear, a toy-like thing. Rationally speaking, Gawain only saw it as a superior alternative to the bow and arrow: more expensive, easier to use, and slightly more powerful. He could imagine many use cases, but he didn't consider it a necessity or a key technology.

Of course, he would use this to expand into the capital's market, undoubtedly targeting the nobles and king's demand for stronger armaments. However, Gawain didn't believe that mass-producing magic spears offered any advantages over the offensive magic items of the Three Magic Kingdoms beyond production capacity. Therefore, he naturally decided to rely on production capacity to achieve victory.

Then he was scolded by Rudy.

Rudy was right to scold him. It was not until that moment that Gawain realized that the civilians and ordinary soldiers who would be easily slaughtered by the mass-produced magic spear were also important.

It turns out that these lives are not what Gawain sees. They may have some value if sent to farm, but other than that they can only be used as embellishments.

It is these insignificant individuals that are the foundation of civilization.

Gawain admitted his mistake. Just as he believed that Rudy and Sylphy did not need to respect and care about the leech-like nobles, he should also respect the countless particles that served as the blood donors of feudal civilization.

So Gawain corrected it.

He abandoned his subsequent plans, which included threatening and controlling the remaining three Greylats of the Asura Kingdom, the various senior ministers, the Asura royal family, and the northern and southern countries.

Gao Wen's plan now is this:

There is no need to rush, it is enough to let our influence take its course and show what it should be.

Therefore, a few months after the custom-made magic spear became popular among the elite in Asura, the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce only quietly expanded the production capacity and sales scale of the original products, and only added a new product called "Magic Crystal Lamp Set".

Furthermore, the magic crystal lamp set wasn't yet a fully finished product. The Vitrum Chamber of Commerce only sold a few different sizes of light units with integrated energy supply structures, primarily on a wholesale basis. This pleased the kingdom's major furniture merchants and the aristocratic factions behind them. Magic energy lamps quickly became a new calling card for the Asura Kingdom's international merchandise.

The Chamber of Commerce quickly transformed from a prominent intruder into a new force within the kingdom and was widely accepted.

In the eyes of the great man Gawain Vitrudia, the great magician and inventor of the Dwarf race was no longer subject to excessive scrutiny and vigilance.

By the way.

About a month after Alice's birthday, the "Analysis and Reproduction of the Magic Eye Principle" project led by Rudy also achieved phased results.

He helped Gileno learn to actively control the effects of the magic eye. Although it could not achieve the silky smooth control of a sliding rheostat, it could still be used in a gear-shifting manner.

In addition, with the assistance of several magic eye holders who were hired at extra cost, the structure of the magic eye was also copied. Although the working principles of most of the structure are still unclear, in theory it is possible to empirically replicate it in the human eye.

But as a modern man, Rudy still has basic experimental ethics, so he plans to fully analyze the structural principles and then conduct implantation experiments in stages. Therefore, he has recently commissioned the Chamber of Commerce and the Magicians Association to find experimental substitutes for the human eye.

In fact, there is no need to go through so much trouble.

Because Gawain had already experimented on himself, both of his eyes now had complete magic eye functions, but it was inconvenient to tell Rudy, so he could only let him experiment slowly.

After all, the analysis of the principles cannot be avoided no matter what. Whether it is Rudy or Gawain, what they want is not just to add some new functions to their eyeballs.

Gawain actually considered transforming Sylphy first.

But after all, he was not sure whether he could withstand the unknown risks by relying on the strength of his eyes, so he simply did not take the risk, but privately developed equipment with the magic eye function, and shared it when there was a chance.

However, after obtaining the Magic Eye, his magic control ability has indeed increased significantly, and his pure magic skills have also made a qualitative leap.

Modern magicians who can see magic and those who cannot are creatures of two completely different realms.
