Chapter 66: Siegfried and Cinderella

Cinderella, the fairy tale "Cinderella". Collected by French writer Charles Perrault in France and the Brothers Grimm in Germany, it is one of the most well-known fairy tales in the world.

Cinderella is the translation of some versions and the name of the main character in Cinderella. Although because of the different versions, the main story line and the factors included are similar.

Cinderella is a kind but unfortunate girl who is nicknamed "Cinderella" because of the death of her mother, the bullying of her new family members, and the fact that she is forced to do heavy work, often leaving her body covered in dust. One day, with the help of a magical force (possibly a witch or a wishing tree), Cinderella transforms into a daughter who is not even recognized by her family, and goes to the prince's ball, where she is finally happy.

For ordinary people who have nothing to do with mystery, this is just a fairy tale with a beautiful meaning. But in the world of magic, this magical power has a new definition, and makeup is originally magic, a kind of change. Karina's transformation from a maid to a golden queen fits the process perfectly.

Of course, because of the particularity of the Golden Hime, the simple Sinderella technique is not enough, and a special spell is also needed, which is the source of the dispute between Gary Asta and Izeluma, the secret treasure auctioned in the offline auction - the Bodhi leaf stained with dragon blood. It was the one that Siegfried accidentally got in his heart when he bathed in dragon blood after killing Valrhona.

Because of this Bodhi leaf, Siegfried's immortal body left the only flaw, and this Bodhi leaf was also contaminated with Siegfei's concept of bathing in dragon blood to obtain an immortal body.

As Loreleia puts it:

Siegfried bathed in dragon blood, symbolizing his rebirth from a human to an immortal hero, a radical change that would have sublimated Cinderella's technique to the most perfect spell. However, no matter how you say it, it is soaked in dragon blood, and it is impossible to extract the concept from the spell body in ordinary ways, at least not Izeluma. The only people who could do it were Lord, Baruyereta and Orange Aosaki. ”

In fact, Shinji has to be added, but Shinji has never shown the ability to extract concepts in front of Loreleia, so he is not among them.

"Lord, as the biggest loser in the incident, obviously can't do this kind of thing that damages the reputation of Baruyeretta. ”

Because of Atram's attack, the fact of "Golden Hime's death" can no longer be concealed, and the "Golden Hime's death" is also spread throughout the clock tower, as well as the Izeluma fraud incident. As the head of Izeluma's family, Baruyereta was also implicated and her reputation was tarnished.

The only vested interests are the El Meloy Classroom, which has managed to make a comeback and reap a wave of benefits from Barujeretta, and the aristocracy, which is opposed to democracy, in which the enemy's loss is our gain.

In the end, only Aozaki Orange remains, and the doll is also a master of the human body.

"If I'm not mistaken, Aozaki Orange has been encircled by you for a long time, you-can't be acting with her, right? You also played a role in this incident?"

"I'm not, I don't. Shinji shook his head.

Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Loreleia said again: "That's when you turned your face with her." You didn't hesitate to ride the entire rune system for her, and you owe the second magic envoy a favor, what happened to cause you to break up?"

"How do I feel you're gloating?" Shinji frowned.

Loreleia directly followed Shinji's appearance just now and shook her head and denied: "I'm not, I don't." ”

Shinji rolled his eyes helplessly: "We didn't break up, okay." You can check the entry and exit records, she boarded the plane from London to Osaka a few hours ago. My father will send someone to pick me up, and Sakura and Fujino are probably already cleaning up their room. ”

"What's going on? It can't be that she's amnesia. ”

"Miss, you really should be a detective, you must be better than Webb. ”

Hearing Shinji say this, Loreleia was stunned on the spot, and asked suspiciously after a while.

"Amnesia? ”

"To be precise, it was hindered by the drug, and I didn't remember. ”

“……”

Loreleia was silent again. There are many ways to interfere with memory, and among Izeruma's collaborators is a high-level pharmacist, and there are many talents in this field in the Department of Law and Politics. But no matter which way, there is a principle to follow, the higher the level of magic of the target, the less likely it is to take effect, the heavier the target's vigilance, the more difficult it is to interfere, and the crown puppeteer who has escaped the pursuit of the executor many times is undoubtedly the most difficult target, how is it achieved?

Finding that Her Majesty has a tendency to drill the horns, Shinji hurriedly revealed the answer:

"It's not what you think, she is willing to drink the medicine, which is one of the conditions of the commission. The reason, of course, is to hide the news that the 'Golden Ji' is dead. As long as she can be resurrected, Byron is willing to pay any price, including fighting against Gary Asta, including fighting for the Bodhi leaf tainted with dragon blood. ”

"Boring obsession, knowing that it is impossible to reach the 'root', why do you do this?"

"For the honor of Izeluma. Aside from the illusory goal, the only thing the magician values is the continuation of the lineage. Without the signboards of the Golden Ji and the Silver Hime, the fall of Izeluma is a matter of time. You should know this best. ”

Her Majesty sighed. As the oldest family of the clock tower, Barsermelo has seen too many magician families rise and fall along the way. And the right and wrong in this, even Loreleia, who stands at the top of the clock tower and overlooks the entire magic world, does not know how to judge.

"Why did Aozaki Orange agree, and how risky it was to hinder her memory, she couldn't have known. ”

She knew, but risk was never a problem for her, as long as the commission was interesting enough, even if she cut her own brain with her own hands, she would not frown, she was such a hopeless person. Let me tell you one more thing, that Bodhi leaf stained with dragon blood is actually an orange's entrusted reward. Because she felt that relying on the funds and materials prepared by Byron would lower the standard of her work, she had to ensure the standard of her work even if she was paid, and it turned out that even she didn't see that the golden Ji at the dinner party was an impostor. When Webber took out the Bodhi leaf ashes that had been specially burned in the Golden Hime's room, Byron and Atram's expressions were wonderful. ”

Interest comes first, the work takes precedence, and everything else is secondary, this is the belief of Orange. It is this attitude of not sticking to conventions and doing what she wants that has allowed her to rise to the top of the crown and stand at the pinnacle of modern magicians.

Of course, it is inevitable that family and friends will be frightened. Because of this incident, Shinji used the coercive power of the contract testimony for the first time and taught Orange a lesson. As for what it is, it is not enough for outsiders, please let your imagination run wild.

PS: Ahh There is an author who wrote about the White Lotus Sect, and then the tragedy happened, and many overseas UP masters at station B were directly banned, for fear that they would talk nonsense - I originally wanted to come to the moon heavy industry, but what kind of tool is the orange?
