A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

After the deputy director finished speaking, he looked at Dr. Worden, who stood up.

"After the spinal fluid of the father's water ghost was measured, the grade detected was 1E." He said, "The grade detected by the offspring was 2E, all five offspring."

"If the male water ghost hadn't successfully hunted an E-class monster or wizard after escaping from the manor, it could only be because of one thing."

"When the power of the father is passed on to the offspring, there will be a certain amount of 'attenuation'."

At this time, Levi also remembered that the rating of the fisherman's trident was indeed higher than that of other water ghost series props.

After hearing his words, the others began to think.

"Is this caused by imperfect witchcraft?" The first person to speak was Team Leader Cruise.

Dr. Worden nodded.

"According to our speculation, if the 'maternal parent' pays for traits, then the 'father's parent' pays for the essence."

"The power of the original substance will always be lost when it is grafted into the offspring, which leads to the attenuation of the rating." Dr. Worden said, "We speculate that as the rating of the object using witchcraft increases, this kind of The attenuation will also become stronger, but how much attenuation will be unknown."

"It seems that this is one of the reasons why Buster Metalia did not copy himself." Leon Robbins said.

"He is 5B and just became Class B this year, that's for sure."

"Perhaps he is afraid that the imperfect attenuation of witchcraft will cause the rating of his offspring to drop below B. Each wizard can only accept such witchcraft once. If Buster only gives birth to a group of C-level children, then The gain outweighs the loss.”

"However, can this attenuation fall below the big rating?" Cruz asked, "Each big rating is equivalent to a baptism and a real qualitative change."

"Although there is no evidence, I think it is possible," Dr. Worden said.

"Because the imperfection of this witchcraft is also the damage to the original substance itself. Let us use an analogy, it is like you carefully holding a piece of cheese and transferring it from one container to another, and the opening of this container It’s very sharp and narrow, and if you move your hand a little bit, the opening will scratch the cheese.”

"The lower the subdivision rating, the softer the cheese, the easier it is to be scratched."

This metaphor is so vivid that even Levi and Martha, who are beginners in the theory of witchcraft, understand it.

"This is a good thing for us, but it also shows that the sire of Metalia's tuners is rated higher than 5C." Director Crowley said, "He may be 4C, or he may be 3C... Or 2C.”

"I think it should be 2C." The doctor said.

"Do you have any credentials?" the deputy director asked.

"No, I'm guessing." Doctor Worden spread his hands.

Deputy Director Crowley looked at him deeply, but said nothing. He looked at the others and nodded.

"In any case, we should still listen to the advice of professionals and be wary of the wizard based on the 2C assumption."

"The other thing is that the young lady's offspring are of the beast type, there are at most seven." Deputy Director Crowley said, "For this, we need the help of the Robbins family."

"You mean to ask us to pay attention to the new beasts that appear?" Leon asked.

"Yes, through the party," Crowley said. "Although it is unlikely that they will show up directly at the party, the wild wizards who attended the party may have come into contact with them."

"Understood." Leon said, "We will offer a reward for information."

Deputy Director Crowley nodded: "But let them pay attention to their safety and not do anything too extreme... If those wild wizards approach Metalia recklessly, it will be equivalent to raccoon chicken takeout delivered to their mouths. ”

"Of course we understand." Leon said, "We will only encourage E-level wizards to investigate them."

The other people were stunned for a moment before they realized what he meant. Reese frowned and muttered.

"This is unethical."

"But efficient." Leon looked over and smiled.

Reese was a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something, but Cruz stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Now is not the time for bickering. Metalia's matters are above all else." Cruise waved his hand and said, "That's all these two things are, right? I will report it to the headquarters."

"Thank you for your help." Deputy Director Crowley said: "One more thing, when will the 003 team arrive in St. Francis?"

"Our current strength is seriously insufficient. The police department and the Robbins family only have more than 003 D-class personnel, plus four C-class personnel. If the group does not meet with us for a day, we will not launch an attack on Metallia for a day. The ability to carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression.”

Cruise said helplessly: "They will definitely arrive. BOI is not kidding in this regard."

"It's just that you have to understand that crossing half of the United States is not that quick. They still need a few days."

The deputy director nodded silently.

……

After that, there was nothing much to talk about at the meeting, only some simple political topics. The Robbins family had not gained anything yet. It was not easy to investigate two big cities, and the case reached a deadlock.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Deputy Director Crowley also handed over another case to Group 004 - the 'Jinshan Drug Tyrant'.

"We now find that he is not a simple prankster or a rebellious young man. In the latest cases, we have discovered some phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense." said the deputy director.

"He could sneak into a completely sealed granary and turn all the two hundred tons of corn inside into popcorn, or turn the foamy water in the fire truck into Coke."

"Now we initially suspect that he is a wizard, rated C, professional or delusional.

Cruise took the brief and nodded.

"It's a typical out-of-bounds behavior and it's part of our job."

Team leader Cruise is not worried about how troublesome the Jinshan drug tyrant is. Now there are three C-level players in the team including him, Field and Levi. It can be said that they are invincible below B-level.

Then, he stood up to say goodbye, shook hands with several people attending the meeting, and left the Central Police Station.

When a group of people sat back on the carriage, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, a group of gangsters." Reese couldn't help but say, "Isn't this completely treating those E-level wizards as cannon fodder?"

"They are now a regular army," Field said. "The adopted son of the Robbins family became a state senator incognito. Before the Republican Party could react, they found that they had been forced to add a trump card."

"I know." Reese muttered, "It's just that they are really scum."

"This is a general trend." Cruise, who was sitting at the entrance of the carriage, lit a flue.

"A gang like them wouldn't have grown to the size it is today if they used their wizards so mercifully."

Only Martha let out a long sigh of relief.

"I feel like I'm going to have a brain..."
