Chapter 22: Like a legend

-- It was indeed the city of stripping. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

What I saw was the dining table.

In the room where the magicians had been invited to gather for breakfast, several figures were also eating there. Like a shadow painting, people hold knives and forks in their hands, talking and laughing.

"Ha, if you use this method to connect the magic array, it will collapse in less than a year. Your magic tricks are still the same, so sketchy. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, it was Orlock Sisamond who said this.

He was not in a wheelchair. Although the figure could also tell how old it was, it was obviously younger than it was now. The way he spoke with a bit of a mischievous sense was a far cry from what he does now. However, the deep demonic nature that surrounds him is not inferior to the present.

"What's wrong with sketching. ”

"Not good, like your face. ”

"You old and immortal little. ”

"-Oh, dear. How can you talk like that to Mr. Orlock, who has come to help?"

The woman at the table chimed in.

It was a beautiful woman with curly hair. The plain linen dress on her body suits her perfectly.

"Ma'am. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Orlock. ”

- Not true.

No, no, no

It's not my memory - it's a thing to put aside.

Gotta wake up. Must wake up. Now I have to wake up.

What happened? What the hell did I do? What happened to Master? Where is the red boy? Is the orange boy okay?

Just when the surging doubts were about to burst my brain.

With a snap, it was as if the old film had been cut with scissors, and my consciousness was interrupted again.

------------------------------

"You, what are you talking about? ”

Qingxuan waved his hand exaggeratedly.

He tapped his placket and conch, and pulled his cheek.

"How do you look at it, we are different from Ashu Byrne's painting style, right? And I'm an orthodox RB man.,I don't believe I can do bloodline certification,"

"Let's start at the beginning. ”

Not taking the young man who hurriedly defended himself in his eyes at all, Aikawa said to himself. The invitation was taken out of the inner pocket of his jacket.

"First of all, what the hell is this invitation?"

"Whatever...... Of course, in order to decide the heirs of the estate、"

Who made you answer. ”

With a click, he kicked the young man to the ground, and the satisfied young man continued to speak with great interest.

"Why are you gathered in this city? This puzzle is to find someone worthy of an inheritance who doesn't even have a shadow? What kind of mystery lover is this thing that a lover of mystery fiction does, playing people like monkeys? And what's worse is that you people are still serious about it, that's why I hate mystery novels. - Hmm. It's rude, but you've managed to get the following, so I'd like to compliment you for that. ”

Ignoring Qing Xuan, who was groaning in pain, the young man took out another piece of paper—the one with an alibi written on it.

"See this, yes, it's an alibi for each of you, don't put on that look like you want to step on it - ah, it's already on it. Well, forget it. Anyway, let's take a closer look at this first. ”

With that, he threw the paper to Qingxuan.

Qing Xuan looked at the text on it.

- "Unfortunately, as the second discoverer, I have no evidence in my favor. ”

"I'm in my room waiting for my brother to come back. Let's not talk about fighting, my brother will never do such a cruel thing as insulting a corpse!"

- "I'm already resting with Grey. ”

- "Well, at that time, I was playing chess with Mr. Orlock. That old man, the level is average, but the method is strangely difficult to get a headache. ”

- "We've got Ashuburn's servants to bring us some wine, and it's okay for you to ask them." ”

"What's the ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Yes. ”

"Did you find out, yes, in these speeches, almost everyone spoke for this other person—Heine and his sister Rosalind, Frieu and Orlock, who played chess with him, Ermelo and Gray who rested with him. And the absence of Lu Weiwei above corresponds to her second servant - only you, who only corresponds to Ashu Bern's servant, that is, the third person. ”

It doesn't matter if you ask them? Of course it doesn't matter! Which servant would say something unfavorable to his master?

"This, this is ridiculous!"

Qingxuan roared roughly.

"It's sophistry at all!, isn't it possible for Orlock's assistant to say so!?"

"Aang, you said that, isn't it right behind you now?"

“!!!???”

Qing Xuan turned his head suddenly.

The expressionless young man stood silently behind Qingxuan.

"You ......"

Suddenly, the boy's expression collapsed.

"What!?"

"Roar, it's ridiculous and makes you want to cry. ”

The boy, who had been expressionless until now, smiled slightly.

"Hmph~," the young man tilted his head curiously, "It's quite novel." Personality Transfer? Memory Reproduction?

"It's a combination of the two, boy, to be exact. ”

The boy - Ollock laughed.

【Papilio Magia】

By simulating the magic of this series of changes from a caterpillar to a chrysalis into a butterfly. It is not incomprehensible that this can be applied to such a resurrection.

"Actually, this body itself is an artificial person made of the old man's blood. In fact, it was gradually transplanted with the magic mark, and the entire personality was moved over at the end, but it happened suddenly, resulting in the loss of about one achievement. And because of the strange raid just now, half of the functions that were left behind have now stopped. ”

Ollock, who was in the form of a young man, said with an annoyed look.

Aikawa, however, was not interested in hearing this—not because he didn't understand half of what the pseudo-Shota was saying, but because he was as disgusted with the old man as the orange boy and his brother. Justification...... Well, probably not much worse.

So, the teenager just shrugged his shoulders and continued...... No.

"I don't need to say anything more. ”

Then, take out a notebook with a leather cover.

"This is something I found yesterday from my client, Luvia, and it seems to have been found in some secret room, and it looks like a book of records. And then Jirobo Kiyogen - your name is also on it. ”

"Huh...... Hmm?!"

"What the hell are all these names doing here?Why are they in [a secret room]?Why are your names on them?First of all, I'm all--I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing. Anyway, it's just some skinning and bone extraction. ”

“…… Joke, huh?"

Qing Xuan, dressed in magic clothes, stretched out his arms.

"We are the then Jirobo Qingxuan. ”

"It's skinning. ”

“――!?”

"That's a pity, hahaha. ”

Aikawa, who saw through the young man's thoughts at a glance, laughed heartlessly. Then his expression changed, and his sharp gaze looked directly at Qing Xuan.

“…… Hey, take off that robe, right shoulder, to be exact. ”

“――――!!!!???”

"I've been glancing at it since just now, and it's the fourth time I've counted just now. ”

“…………”

The young monk's face turned pale.

"Why, are you still dying? Yes, I don't hate it. But "

In the blink of an eye, the young keeper came to the young man in his original position.

“………… Huh?"

"How's that going?"

Bang! The sonic boom sounded, enough to smash the upper part of the armored car and hit the young man's head directly.

If it hits, there will definitely not be a single fragment left in the young man's head.

But because that doesn't happen, Aikawa does it mercilessly.

【――――!!!!!!】

The inhuman roar suddenly sounded, and the volume even had a physical power, and the boy's attack stopped at this moment.

Slowly retracting his feet, the contractor looked at the young man in front of him again.

"- The helpers are here. Do you want to put it on?"

“……………… Hehe. ”

[He] nodded.

The right shoulder of the monk's robe was torn apart by the aftermath of the attack that broke through the speed of sound, revealing an unexpectedly strong upper arm, where the magic engraving emitted a faint glow. It looks like two lines merge with each other, and it looks like one of the lines is suppressing the other.

“…… I am the lord of this stripped city, Guranid Ashbourne. ”

Qingxuan—No, Guranid smiled.

Boom! The gates of the main city were completely open.

At the same time, the beast roared.

--------------------------------

"Is that what this city was really for......

At the same time, outside the city, the boy also observed the sudden opening of the main city gate. From the inner hall, and from the large number of angelic statues in the vestibule, something invisible.

No, his eyes could see.

It's the Spirit.

However, it is something different from the commonly believed soul. It's more accurate to say that it just records the energy of past personality patterns. In Chinese Taoism, it is generally believed that the soul that supports the spirit and the spirit that supports the body are clearly separated, and that what lingers on the earth is the "spirit".

The spirit that appears here now is the spirit.

"No wonder it is impossible to gather such a demanding number of lost lambs and the sins they contain, and the fanatical collection of their angels. ”

Ever since coming to the Stripping City, the magicians have felt like they've been under the watchful eye of the angels.

Actually, what if that's the case.

In that case, what if every one of these angels is a spiritual dependent?

"The so-called angels are the same number of tombstones...... ? It's a huge ocean. ”

Very good, then.

"Just like Moses, who said in legend to split the sea in half and separate the Red Sea, let you all ascend to heaven!"

The boy slowly lifted up, something that had always been in his hand. That's a [legend] that will come back no matter how you lose it, invisible and qualitative.

"Holy spear, anchor. ”
