Chapter 21: guess

　　 The time of a standard hourglass is less than half an hour when converted to the past notation. Even if the Master Peter didn't dare to come in, he couldn't hide the past, as if the fire couldn't be contained in paper.
　　 If it's an ordinary wizard gathering, Rasputin, a legendary wizard, can't go. But the fireside meeting is the highest meeting where wizard leaders of the same status as Rasputin will attend. If Rasputin does not appear, what happened here cannot be hidden.
　　 Richard walked around in circles, anxiously like ants on a hot pot. But the more anxious, the more blank his mind. In the final analysis, he is still too weak. Whether in the past or the present, ordinary people did not have much choice when facing difficult problems, and there were obvious limitations in the ways they could think. And the current predicament is completely beyond the scope of his ability.
　　 It is to solve the current dilemma, so I summoned the demon god. but now……
　　 He turned his head and met the pupils of the black-haired girl. She had been watching herself for a long time since just now, as if she was waiting for the next order. Richard did not speak, she stood silently and stood there, like a lifeless doll.
　　 Maybe she was living a life similar to being ordered before she fell asleep.
　　 Richard was also worried that he would be killed or even swallowed by the summoned Lord Demon God, and the situation in this regard was much better than he expected, and the other party would completely obey his orders.
　　 In a sense, he is the person who can use the legendary "supreme being in the spirit world", he is simply more powerful than the legendary wizards in the field of the same age.
　　 But... he unconsciously smiled wryly.
　　 Now Richard knows the truth of everything. What's the use of the other party's help? He is just an apprentice wizard, and the real lady is an artificial intelligence living in a virtual network world, and there are various restrictions. How can it affect the real world
　　……
……and many more.
　　 Richard patted his cheek vigorously, his mind flashed, and suddenly he calmed down.
　　 The reason why this world has incredible powers such as "magic" is not because the virtual world can affect reality?
　　 Think about it, the so-called "psychic domain" wizards, the essence of their ability is to control the unowned artificial intelligence in the network world. Why can they do this? In other words, how does the "spiritual body" they summon become the power of wizards?
　　 The world he currently lives in has long gone from the original scientific civilization to another direction. Although the material foundation is based on the black technology of the past, people in the new world are interpreting and understanding them in their own way and trying to control this power.
　　 They regard technology from millennia ago as magic, and network commands as spells and prototypes. This is using different worldviews to explain the same thing, just as the ancients used gods and ghosts to explain incomprehensible natural phenomena, while modern people would consider it from the physical level.
　　 There is no doubt that in the Mayan world today, this kind of attempt is effective. A new huge system has been established, which has become the basis for the existence of the transcendents.
　　 Hundreds of years ago when Richard lived, magic, gods, wizards... all of these were generally considered to exist. Even after mankind has entered the era of the supremacy of reason, some people still believe in this.
　　 But no matter what, the superstition of the age of magic has been abandoned a little bit; but now, the concept of the age seems to have returned to the past.
　　 Richard realized that his best course is to adapt his thinking to the world—that is, to look at the problem from the perspective of a "witch".
　　The reason is very simple. He is not a scientist with rich professional knowledge. What's more, he still lives in the 21st century. Because his mind simply cannot understand the future technology, it is impossible to explore the world from a "scientific" perspective. He can only honestly choose to be a part of the Mayan world.
　　 After he made such a decision, Richard's thinking immediately became clearer.
Obviously, the term "devil god" that has been recorded in history cannot appear in the age when the real lady is still asleep. This means that a transcendent AI will wake up in a later era (but earlier than now), and there will be more than one. The background of "is still known by the people at that time, he (she) must show some terrible power, only then can be regarded by people in the Mayan world.
　　 As a member of the Demon God, his real name is likely to have the same level of power, but he is now only a humble apprentice, with limited knowledge, so it is difficult to see it and use it.
　　As the thinking deepened, a question gradually came to Richard's mind.
　　If the abilities of the real lady could be regarded as some kind of power in the fantasy world, what would it be?
　　 "Real name, real name..." Richard stroked his chin with a thoughtful look, "Does your code have any origin?"
　　 He quickly learned from the other party that this is the name of the only true worshiped in a real religion that has considerable influence in South and Southeast Asia. The code names of the twelve super AIs all have similar origins ~EbookFREE.me~ representing the cultural diversity of the Earth Federation.
　　 But this is not the point. The word "real name" itself has a very important position in occultism. Many ancient countries and regions believed that a person's name possessed a certain special power.
　　In the world of wizards, everyone believes that everyone has a "real name" given by God, and once they are grasped by others, they will be easily replaced, or they will become servants of the other party...
Is this a coincidence?
　　 The real name manages one of the most important basic information systems in human society: the identity authentication system. According to her, this is linked to all the permissions that everyone has;
　　 And the so-called authority levels, in the definition of the Mayan world, are different levels...
　　 The more Richard thinks, the harder it is to restrain his ups and downs. A sense of excitement was slowly rising from the depths of his heart. His eyes fell on Rasputin's body.
　　……
Richard took a deep breath and took off his mask. Underneath was a face that looked more like a tramp. His normally untreated hair was messy like a lion's mane, and the majesty of a wizard leader was completely invisible. . But he didn't care about Rasputin's true face, but stared at the mask in his hand.
　　 After a while, Richard stopped hesitating and slowly put on the mask.
　　 "Real name, can you see what this is?"
　　 Richard found that his voice had changed, becoming the same as the former Rasputin.
　　 "It should be some kind of camouflage device, sir."
　　 "Very good."
　　 Richard nodded.
　　 A bold idea appeared in his mind.
　　"I want to do an ‘experiment’, I hope you can cooperate."
