66. The End of the Rumor

What's going to happen next is 'bad'.

It is something that shatters all illusions and destroys all beauty.

Fully expose the naked reality to your eyes.

"Occam's razor"

After ending the long Latin chant about expressing the original meaning of Occam's razor, Animusfia said calmly.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you sing or not, the important thing is to convince him.

If you can make him believe that even if you sing the Spider-Man theme song, Animusfia can still change the facts.

It just so happened that Animusfia thought Latin was cool, so she did it.

Occam's razor, also known as Occam's razor.

It was first proposed by Ockham, an Englishman who was a monk, because he was tired of the endless discussions in religious philosophy.

The discussion of religious philosophy is like adding something. It can always add some new problems to the original things. If it is greater than a hundred, it is a hundred plus one, and if it is greater than a thousand, it is a thousand plus one.

The priest once argued with Animusfia: If he picked up a watch on the road, he would never believe that it was naturally formed.

If humans and nature are exquisite handicrafts, highly coupled gears, and precise clocks, which cannot be born by coincidence, then there is a being in nature who created the world and humans, and his name is ‘Lord’.

The priest practices Catholicism, if it is a Taoist or Hindu character.

Perhaps the being who created everything should be called Brahma or Pangu.

But Animusfia has a question.

A god who can create everything should have a more sophisticated structure, right?

"Then who created the gods?"

At this time, the priest looked disdainful and said, citing scriptures, that this was his disobedience as a human being.

But this is the priest's way of avoiding the important issue and changing the subject.

He couldn't think deeply, or in other words, he could do it, but it was meaningless.

The words in the Bible are very obscure, but believers always think they contain everything.

They would rather believe that Jesus did not need to mention dinosaurs, so there are no records of dinosaurs in the Bible.

I don’t want to believe that Jesus didn’t know about the existence of dinosaurs.

It would be better to claim that there is an invisible dragon in an empty room than to admit that there is nothing there.

Animusfia always wondered why she did this.

Until he came into contact with something that was obviously born in the church, but all the church people kept silent about it.

"Occam's razor."

Do not add entities unless necessary.

A simple sentence breaks all the illusions of religion.

Rather than believing in the existence of a complex and unexplainable personal God, it is better to believe that there is none.

Animusfia is going to do the same thing now.

Use your own ‘deep belief’ to break other people’s ‘superstitions’.

As the Spear of Uranus struck, transparent fluctuations spread out in all directions with Animusfia as the center.

Just like a bat receiving ultrasonic feedback, a large amount of information poured into his brain, and Animusfia's brows furrowed deeply.

The problem has not become complicated, but the situation has become more complicated.

Why this happened, he himself didn't know very well.

After all, he himself had never had the opportunity to use magic a few times before coming to Chaldea.

Compared to being a practical biological and chemical scientist, Animusfia studies more theoretical physics.

Obviously, the magic situation this time did not match his theoretical expectations.

But it's still generally normal.

The dark magic net dispersed, and the half-vampire, half-dragon Camilla floated in the air as if being restrained by invisible hands, unable to move.

The monsters that were constantly attacking all around were clinging to the ground as if they were being stepped on by something.

"sharp------!"

The red-haired girl couldn't help but sigh when she saw the group of monsters and Camilla suppressed by Animusfia.

The offensive stopped in an instant, and both Giorgios and Matthew heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing such a scene, they had to sigh that Animusfia's magic was indeed unique.

"But, even so, we can't get out of here..."

"Senior is right. The enemy will be resurrected indefinitely. Even if we take the opportunity to eliminate them all now, we will not be able to achieve our goal."

Mashu echoed and added to Fujimaru Ritsuka's words.

"That's it. Simply fighting is meaningless. Now we can only see what Mr. Animusfia can do."

Giorgios nodded and said.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Animusfia's figure suspended in the air again.

And Animusfia now has to perform an 'operation' on Camilla's spiritual power.

The white light that just caught Matthew and Giorgos' eyes and made them feel very uncomfortable penetrated Assassin's body like a scalpel.

It is completely different from the magic that Animusfia used before. Although it looks very unscientific, you can tell just by feeling that it is something completely contrary to the 'mysterious'.

If we say that Animusfia was adding things to reality from the perspective of an observer.

So now we are cutting things from reality from the perspective of the observer.

Although one is idealistic, the other is materialistic.

But the nature of the world depends on the observer's cognition. Whether materialistic or idealistic, these are just two forms of the world presented to human eyes.

The world is both materialistic and idealistic.

It's like the wave-particle duality of light, two sides of a coin.

Quantum mechanics and general relativity both play a role, and both can explain and even predict the world.

But the two greatest disciplines of physics are fundamentally incompatible.

However, there is nothing wrong with Animusfia standing in the middle of the coin.

Be idealistic when you need to be idealistic, and be materialistic when you need to be materialistic.

Black cat or white cat, the one that can catch mice is a good cat.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Occam's Razor and Assassin's state this time were beyond his expectations.

As if in a dream, a large amount of information and scenes were interspersed in Animusfia's mind.

Although he could understand that this was Elizabeth Bathory's past, there were still some parts that he couldn't understand, some that confused Animusfia.

Unlike gods, scientists and magicians are not omniscient and omnipotent.

However, the status of ‘Occam’s Razor’ is basically stable and the next step of operation can still be carried out.

No matter what, the top priority right now is to escape from Assassin's Noble Phantasm.

"The vampire [Countess Camilla] originated from Elisabeth Bathory, who was imprisoned in Chakdis Castle until her death in the early seventeenth century."

Following Animusfia's words, several white rays of light that penetrated Assassin's spiritual body quickly extended and became a flat surface.

It exudes a faint fluorescence, like a pure white poker tower that has been carefully built, with a half-dragon, half-vampire inside.

Although it looks like it has been cut into several pieces, 'Occam's razor' does not have a physical body and cannot be touched.

Be it light or plane, it simply passed through her spirit body, as if it didn't exist in this world, that's all.

But if you look closely, you will see that the plane surrounded by faint white light is actually composed of many vertically arranged 'strings'. Whenever Animusfia's words fall, the strings will tremble and change, like a loom.

generally.

And the assassin in it is the cloth on this loom.

"However, it was ultimately a rumor circulating in the countryside. Until the end, Elizabeth Bathory was not found guilty, and no sufficiently objective and convincing evidence was found."

For some unknown reason, the then Imperial Prime Minister Georges Turso, who was in charge of the trial of Elisabeth Bathory's case, never made a verdict.

The servants in Chakhetis City were also executed quickly after giving up their confessions, which makes people doubt the possibility of torture to extract confessions.

The only person who left any actual evidence was a dying girl who was covered in wounds all over her body in the castle.

The plane is constantly changing, and the up and down 'strings' are like piano wires being struck by hammers. Just by looking at it, it feels like it can compose music.

Whether it is a musical score, a poem, or a code composed of 0s and 1s, it is essentially the transmission of information. The spiritual base of a follower naturally contains a large amount of information. The spiritual base of a follower is the gene of a living thing.

A heroic spirit is a program determined by the information in the spirit base.

Change is naturally not impossible.

But Animusfia has not yet studied what kind of 'programming language' the heroic spirits are written in.

That's too difficult.

What "Occam's razor" can do is only to find and remove biases caused by human cognition.

[Innocent Monster] is undoubtedly a perfect target.

"The real vampire Camilla became known to the world in 1872 AD, when she appeared in the novel "Camilla" published by the Irish female writer Joseph Sheridan La Fennu."

Speaking of which, the author of "Dracula" is also an Irishman, and the Irish are really guilty.

""Camilla" appeared twenty-five years earlier than the novel "Dracula". Although the images of vampires are mostly based on Vlad III, Camilla undoubtedly appeared earlier and was popular among humans.

Known as 'vampires'."

Some of the strings on the white surface seemed to be pulled by someone, stretched tightly and no longer vibrating.

Animusfia has indeed captured the 'vampire' part of the Assassin spiritual base.

"The Dead Apostles do exist in the world, quietly surviving as unknown creatures. However, I have reason to believe that vampires are just images created by novelists based on the legends of the Dead Apostles, and are created by ignorant ordinary people.

An existence that is imagined in reality after knowing it.”

Then the conclusion is very conclusive, and the razor is already on a tight string.

"'Vampires' don't exist at all."

Animusfia's faint words fell, and the strings broke in response.

Then the broken 'string' slowly disappeared like sublimated snowflakes.

Assassin's half-dragon, half-vampire figure expanded rapidly, and the bright red brilliance that lingered on his body like flowing blood disappeared.

The 'vampire' element was stripped away from Camilla's spiritual base.

However, the element that is denied by Occam's razor is not so much removed as it is a fundamental denial of its existence.

Since there is no such thing as a 'vampire' from the beginning, it is naturally nonsense to integrate into Assassin's spiritual base.

It can be said that the vampire has been killed causally.

However, Occam's razor of Animusfia is only effective for a short period of time.

Animusfia just used a trick to forcefully deny a certain concept recognized by mankind. Soon after the magic is over, the cognition of all mankind will reverse the cause and effect again, and Animusfia will be replaced by Animusfia.

The denied legend materializes again.

The minority obeys the majority. Even if the majority is wrong or fictitious, it doesn't matter, as long as there is strength in numbers, it will be fine.

The most difficult step in Occam's razor is not to deny its own existence, but to refute the common understanding of all mankind for thousands of years.

If you want to truly find a solution once and for all, you still have to cut off the prejudice and confusion that are deeply rooted in people's hearts.

When all mankind uses Occam's razor, there will really be no escape from the mystery.

Otherwise, no matter how much Animusfiya firmly believes and no matter how much he denies it, it will only take a few minutes to be effective in the end; maybe he can match the belief of 11,000 people, but he will never be able to match the belief of 7 billion people.

people.

Fortunately, if she was only facing a Servant, Animusfia would only need these few minutes.

The huge underground city began to tremble, and the bricks continued to turn into semi-solid viscous substances, falling and splashing large amounts of blood, and finally merged with the blood pool.

Assassin's Noble Phantasm was created due to the fusion of spiritual bases, but after the spiritual bases were forcibly stripped away, the Noble Phantasm would naturally collapse.

However, only the 'vampire' has been removed so far. If Chakdis is to completely collapse, a more thorough analysis is needed.

What’s left now is the dragon————

"Then there is the giant dragon. This itself seems very far-fetched."

Just because there is a dragon pattern on the family crest, can the dragon be connected to Elizabeth Bathory?

"Actually, this is more of a rumor that favors the entire Bathory family. The Bathory family's reputation among the people is not high, and can even be said to be very bad."

According to legend, Elizabeth Bathory had a bunch of lunatic relatives, a cultist uncle who talked nonsense all day long and fought against the air, a lesbian aunt who taught her torture techniques, and a lewd brother who was a pervert.

In addition, the dragon on the Bathory family emblem itself symbolizes evil and devil in Europe.

The entire Bathory family cannot change the prejudices of people who are superstitious in religion, and can only silently bear the bad reputation of the evil dragon.

"However, these rumors are far-fetched. Farmers in the seventeenth century may not have been able to find out the truth, but modern people can see it at a glance."

Elizabeth didn't have an uncle named Gabriel at all. She only had a distant nephew named Gabriel Bathory, who was also the adopted son of her "slut" brother.

As for the dissolute elder brother, he never had a child of his own.

By the time Elizabeth was ten years old, her aunt, who was already over seventy, could not teach her any more tricks.

"And the dragon itself is a fantasy species that can only sneak into the world and survive. It cannot and cannot exist in the world today after the end of the Age of Gods."

The razor was once again placed on the tight 'string'.

"The idea that Elizabeth Bathory, who lived in the 16th and 17th centuries, was related to dragons is nonsense."

The string broke again.

The giant dragon's huge body disappeared like a burst bubble.

What appeared in front of Animusfiya again was the familiar young woman.

The collapse in Chakdis City became more violent, and the huge spiral staircase melted from the bottom and merged with the blood pool.

The rising blood also swallowed up a large number of 'servant' monsters.

The current Assassin can no longer be called Camilla, nor can it continue to be named Bathory.

The only thing that can be left on Occam's razor is the real Elizabeth herself.

"If you put it like that... I'm not the only one who is wrong..."

With a cry in her voice, Elizabeth lowered her head, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.

"It's so unfair. I obviously didn't do anything..."

There are no vampires and no dragons, so the more than 600 girls who died in Chakdis City in the legend should be attributed to her alone.

It's all Elizabeth Bathory's fault.

However, [Noblesse] does indeed belong to Elizabeth's own spiritual base, and is not artificially created like [Vampire] and [Dragon].

Even Occam's razor cannot eliminate this.

If evidence can be found to prove that Elizabeth Bathory did not do these things, Animus Fiat Occam's razor can define this as an exaggerated rumor and then eliminate it.

However, Animusfia, living hundreds of years later, would never be able to find evidence that would convince her.

Although the evidence against Elizabeth's guilt is very doubtful, it does not mean that Elizabeth can be exonerated.

There is no escaping the fact that she could indeed commit such a crime.

"Indeed, it is now almost impossible to find evidence sufficient to drop the charges against Elizabeth Bathory."

Animusfia sighed and said.

"Then everything you have done before is in vain, Mr. Animusfia. Unless a miracle happens, no one can escape from this situation... No matter how you defend yourself, the blame will still fall on you in the end.

On your head."

"That may be the case, but a miracle may actually happen."

Animusfia slowly floated towards Elizabeth who was fixed in mid-air.

"Eh? Director?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had been watching Animusfia from behind, spoke in surprise.

She couldn't understand why Animusfia would take the risk to get close to the enemy.

"I happen to be able to prove your innocence."

In the final analysis, everything mentioned above is to make Animusfia believe.

And now Animusfia does not need evidence to firmly believe that Elizabeth Bathory did not commit the crime recorded in the legend.

It can be described as a black whistle.

"I believe you, Eliza."

The last tight string was cut off.

The many interspersed white planes then turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air.

The silvery white on the young woman's long, silky hair also disintegrated, revealing her original bright cherry red hair color.

The dungeon that was constantly collapsing also turned into darkness in an instant, like a silent void.

Unlike Assassin's Noble Phantasm, the rumors have come to a true end at this time.
