Chapter 45 Where did the apprentice come from? He was picked up for free!
When Alice returned to the restaurant, Rafis could hardly believe it was the Alice she knew. After all, in her memory, Alice was a casually dressed person who had a thorough understanding of swords and knives, almost like a knight-errant. In the past, she even thought that this vampire princess was just her knight-errant code name.
And what's with this adorable, pitiful little girl in her gorgeous dress? Alice, forced to walk slowly and carefully as she sits in her seat because of her elaborate dress...
This is what a princess should be like!
Rafis then believed that she was loyal to the vampire princess. She nodded, walked to Alice's side, and softly reminded her, "Miss, it's time to eat."
Even so, Rafis was still somewhat afraid. Blood was undoubtedly the food of vampires. Although other foods were also important, they would find it difficult to maintain their abilities without blood.
“Let me do it, Raffis.”
Ange appeared just in time. Since the advent of civilization, vampires no longer needed to devour people's necks like wild beasts. She took out a small knife, the steel blade reflecting a silver light. Rafis reached out, and this scalpel-like object cut through the skin, and drops of blood seeped out.
"It smells so good..."
Alice smelled the blood. Unlike the blood on the battlefield, this smell was more mellow, like aged wine. But it seemed that drinking it would mean losing something... Alice struggled with her thoughts for a second, but finally gently took Raphis's hand and sucked the blood.
To be honest, it tastes like Coca-Cola from 82.
"thanks for treatment."
Alice licked her tongue. After taking in the blood, she began to remember more things—no, rather than remember more things, a new kind of knowledge burst forth in her mind.
Knowledge! More knowledge!
Alice suddenly felt a strong urge to dive into the studio, but clearly, there were more important things to do right now, such as her assistant, or rather, her apprentice.
Speaking of her apprentice... Alice looked out the window with a touch of melancholy. In the holy city of humanity, she once had an apprentice. For two years, she had been passing on her wisdom to her—chemistry, mechanics, culture—striving to ensure that her ideas would be passed down.
But I wonder how she is doing? She regrets not having had time to prepare a way out for her students.
"Ah~ Little Alice, how is it?"
Alicia pushed open the door and walked in, dressed in a dress similar in style to Alice's. The two looked more like sisters, and Alice nodded.
"Mmm...delicious."
“Raphis, you must serve her well, Alice, we have a guest... You should know her quite well.”
Two girls walked in from behind the door, and Alice spotted her immediately—short chestnut hair, silver metal glasses, hand-polished glasses, and an old satchel slung across her body with the words "Serve the People" written on it.
"Vera? You... what are you doing here?"
Vera, Alice's apprentice when she was still a man, an orphan she found on the street. Alice stood up and walked towards Vera.
"Vera, it's me... Do you remember me? It's me, Fidel!"
Alice grasped Vera's hand. For the past two years, she had regarded Vera as her younger sister, not just a student.
"But...but Brother Fidel is a boy!"
Vera looked at the lovely woman in front of her. She was as beautiful as a porcelain doll and smelled wonderful. But she knew that Fidel was a man.
Alice suddenly remembered something; she recalled making some jokes to Vera before.
"E=MC2, the mass-energy conversion formula."
Vera looked up and remembered that it was the first month she met Fidel. Fidel had taken care of her and made sure she moved into a very large house. The first formula she remembered was the one Fidel had casually mentioned.
"Are you really...?"
"Chapter 3 of 'Natural Sciences and Mathematical Theory': The Law of Universal Gravitation, page 188."
Vera then believed that the person standing in front of her was Fidel, and that only her "brother" could remember the book so well.
"Also, there's a hard box in the bag. The password is, Vera. Take it out."
Vera took the box out of her bag, and Alice breathed a sigh of relief. The box contained everything she needed, and she had thought it would be a very long time before she could find it again, or that she might never find it again.
Entering the password, the intricate lock clicked open, and Alice gently opened the box. Inside, all they could see was a smooth, black surface that shone like a jewel.
“Fidel…no, Sister Alice, what is this? You once told me to defend it with my life…”
Alice was overjoyed. She gently picked up the mirror-like surface. Its presence here was so abrupt that if a photograph were taken, viewers would probably think it was photoshopped.
Alice gently pressed the side of the panel with her index finger, and a soft vibration reached her hand. Alice smiled slightly.
"We are now in an invincible position. Please keep everything you have seen today a secret."
Alice looked at everyone present, including Alicia, Rafis, Vera, Anna, and Ange.
"It's lit up...?"
The panel emitted a white light, and Alice nodded.
There is still electricity.
This is a tablet computer. Since we've already traveled through time, carrying a tablet computer shouldn't be a problem, right? So it's reasonable for a tech geek's tablet to contain a large number of scientific papers, physical laws, and machine blueprints, following the historical progression, right?
If you have a tablet, it's perfectly normal for the matching safe to have a solar charging station, right?
Since the church disregards this, now that she's Alice, she'll put it to full use among the demons!
Alice nodded and put the tablet back in the box. Vera, the apprentice she'd picked up for free, had now been picked up again—well, not exactly picked up, more like she'd appeared out of nowhere—so she'd need to be properly trained.
Intensively cram science and engineering knowledge into your brain, stuffing it with formulas until it overflows!
Alice gave a triumphant smile, then turned around, only to have Vera pounce on her.
"Waaah, Fide... Sister... Vera hasn't seen you in so long! Where... where have you been... without taking Vera with you!!"
Alice then realized what was happening, stroked Vera's head, and whispered, "Okay, okay... Vera, I'm here. I'm sorry... I'll never leave Vera again, okay?"
