In order to facilitate the action, Chonghua and Xuanyuan Hao chose to act separately from the ancient city group, and Chonghua followed Xuanyuan Hao's actions safer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Chonghua and the others left, they also returned to Xiao's house in the ancient city to look for clues.

The living room of the Xiao family maintained the situation in which the ancient city and Chonghua had left, silent and silent. Yuma and Nagisa don't look like they're coming back. Of course, the ancient city's own flesh did not return.

"—really no one." Walked around the room, Yukina said.

Now she, like the hero in a fairy tale, wears a light blue one-piece apron and a large ribbon of the same color on her head.

In her right hand she holds a silver-white spear reminiscent of an airplane. It is the secret weapon of the Lion King's organ, the "Seven Assault Demon Spear", which can completely destroy the atmosphere of the fairy tale, and is an all-metal spear.

"Yuma's luggage is gone, too." After confirming the guest room, the ancient city sighed in disappointment.

Yuma's travel bag, a change of clothes, and souvenirs that I bought yesterday while sightseeing on the island were all taken away. All she left in this house was a full set of mini witch dresses for cosplay, and her own body.

Even so, Yukina stood there wordlessly as if she was looking for traces of Yuma.

Finally, as if she had received some revelation, she nodded deeply, "The general thing has been understood." Maybe even the body of the blue shadow behind Yuma-san's body is also. ”

"Huh?" With Yukina's confident voice, the ancient city felt uneasy for some reason. Animalistic instincts told him that he shouldn't keep listening. I felt that if I listened to her, something important that the ancient city kept for the old friends would be shattered and dissipated without even the slag left.

"Lady La Furia, I'm afraid it's the same as I thought. I think her previous phone call was to confirm that. ”

“…… What's going on? Gucheng asked subconsciously.

La Fulia doesn't know Yuma, and the body swap between the ancient city and Yuma shouldn't be known yet.

The princess should just be investigating the correlation between the spatial anomaly that occurred on Hyun God Island and the magic -

"Could it be that it is Yuma's fault to distort the space of Hyun God Island?"

"But it's likely that as Regulus said, her purpose is your magic."

"Anyway, senior...... Is Nagisa sauce the one who made this dish? Suddenly, Yukina changed the subject.

Confused, Gucheng nodded, "Ahhh This is what Nagisa usually makes. ”

On the table is a huge omelet rice made with a mixture of fish and natto, grilled seaweed, and rice. It was in a hurry that Nagisa created breakfast on the days. I can't think of anyone else who can make this kind of original cuisine but her.

Just in case, I took a part of the omelet rice and put it in my mouth, and sure enough, it tasted like usual. Contrary to the appearance, it is an authentic Japanese breakfast flavor.

"She can still make breakfast, that is, she wasn't forcibly taken away by Yuma."

"I guess so...... I think so too. ”

Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Nagisa's disappearance is a problem for the ancient city on the same level as the loss of his own body. For this reason, there is no reason to fall into chaos, and this breakfast takes up a large part. Gucheng thinks that she has nothing to do with Yuma's affairs, and just goes out of the house of her own will.

And the ancient city doesn't think that Yuma will hurt Nagisha.

"Where's Nagisa-chan's phone?"

"No, I can't. I've tried it several times. ”

Looking at the outgoing call record on his phone, Gucheng sighed and said.

"It won't be like Huangsaka and them, who were thrown somewhere because of the distortion of space, right?"

“…… No, if the hypothesis that the princess is susceptible to magic is correct, the chances of Nagisa being involved are low. ”

"That's good......"

……

"So where do we go now?" Chonghua asked.

"I don't know." Xuanyuan Hao's answer was very simple.

"......" Chonghua said that he was speechless.

"Now I can confirm some other things, but I only told Ji Hiiragi, and he will tell the ancient city the details of that matter, you are different from him, and there is magic that works on you, so there are two things that must be confirmed now." Xuanyuan Hao said.

"What's the matter?"

"One, didn't you notice that the snow clouds were gone? And ......"

"Gilgamesh...... I'm afraid of such a thing......"

"It doesn't matter about this matter, after all, they all have a lot of magic power, and the possibility of being transferred away is relatively high, now it's up to you and me."

“…… You and me? ”

"Yes, the second thing, I know the source of the magic of this mutation, it is the magic of space domination. I need someone who can help me and use spatial magic to help me crack these things. ”

"It's a pity that I only know of one such master, and she's missing." The corners of Chonghua's mouth twitched.

"You can lend me your beast, as long as you're not afraid that your beast will disappear." Xuanyuan Hao rolled his eyes, "I'd better do it myself." ”

"Do you know anyone?" Chonghua looked at Xuanyuan Hao strangely.

"No, I understand some spatial control techniques myself, as long as I have enough time, I can crack the key things." Xuanyuan Hao said.

"That's right, but ...... How long do you have to take? ”

"Three to five days, that's a conservative estimate."

“…… It's been too long......"

"I can't help it, there's another way that's simpler, if it goes well, it's okay in two days."

"Find the mastermind and kill him." Chonghua rolled his eyes.

"Very well, just do as you say."

“…… Let's go. ”

……

Books known as magic books do exist.

They used to be useful books that recorded incantations, the steps of magic rituals, and the control of the existence of spirits.

But in the process of accumulating a huge amount of knowledge, it began to become a book with powerful magical powers, and eventually it became a thing that could give readers the power to surpass human intelligence and summon powerful calamities.

This is the Book of Magic, books of power.

Anyone who seeks the way of the devil wants to be able to obtain the magic guide book.

However, there are still a few people who can actually read its contents and control the huge magic power accumulated in it.

To date, countless researchers have failed to control the Wizard Book, and the Wizard Book has been destroyed as a result. The calamity that flowed from it destroyed several cities and polluted the souls of tens of thousands. In the process, a large number of magic books were lost.

Worried about this situation, the Magus and the Witches set up the LCO, an organization known as the "Library".

They collected the Magic Books all over the world, sorted them tightly according to their use, and sealed them away.

Then only the chosen ones can lend it out. It's not for the development of the magician, it's not to protect the peace of the world, it's just to satisfy your curiosity and desires-

The "Library" is a group of extremely casual and self-righteous magic researchers, and it also has the nature of a criminal organization left over from its inception.

One of the books of magic books owned by this LCO, the place where "No.539" was liberated, is in the center of the "Demon Special Zone", on the roof of the central stone gate.

On the roofs of huge buildings in the shape of inverted pyramids, a huge crimson magic circle is depicted. This is the enchantment of the Guardian Wizard Book.

The material used to depict the magic array is the blood of the members of the SAR Garrison. Leave them mortally wounded guarding the central stone gates, and use the blood that flows from their bodies to build the stage for this ritual magic. The wounded guards groaned in pain and were thrown aside like broken painting tubes.

"Don't you think it's pretty, Octavia? I have a premonition that I will have a wonderful encounter today. ”

Standing in the center of the magic circle is the eldest sister of the Meia sisters, Emma, a witch dressed in pitch black.

The ancient book she guarded was constantly absorbing the vitality of the guards who were sacrificed, exuding strong magical fluctuations. In order to make them the power source of the Magister, the two sisters did not kill the guards.

"It's really my sister. Reading fate from meaningless objects – are you imitating the ancient fateists? Octavia Maya, the crimson witch, looked at the blood-stained magic circle with a certain look of contempt.

Unlike her sister, she didn't have a pleasant interest in looking at the dying man.

What she likes is a more gorgeous way of sprinkling brains and guts, full of splashes.

"Now, my sister. Don't you think the remaining fools on the tower are an eyesore? "Can you go and kill them, with such an attitude of asking her sister, the scarlet witch looked up.

In front of her eyes was the iron tower, which doubled as a radio tower, and the glass-covered observation hall. Because the two sisters occupied the roof, the tourists were locked in the hall and could not get out. They could only stare at the tragedy unfolding in front of them from the place where they had become a prison.

"Leave them alone, Octavia." The dark witch scolded her sister.

"It is also interesting to use their fears and despair to decorate the moment when our sad wish is fulfilled."

“…… It's a wonderful thing to look at, my sister. No matter how much you pray, God doesn't intervene with miracles – you're trying to be theological, aren't you? ”

The crimson witch sighed a little unconvinced. It's been a long time since they've been setting up a formation on top of this building, and they're starting to get a little bored.

"The tilting of the space is really comfortable."

Turning the magic book carefully, Emma said.

Although it cannot be seen with the eyes of ordinary people, the space around Hyunshin Island is now being cracked like a spider's web. These cracks are slowly growing, searching for something like the tentacles of living beings.

Cracks can affect people with powerful magical powers, but that's just a side effect.

No matter where someone caught up in the space warp is thrown to, or who is drawn in from another timeline, it's a trivial matter. Compared to the chaos that will come in the future, it is not even a boredom aftertaste.

"Ah, that's right. And this power is really powerful, 'Witch of the Firmament'—"

Unconsciously with an unwilling expression, Octavia said.

The magic book "No.539" borrowed from the LCO - and it wasn't the two sisters who actually controlled it. The Meia sisters belong to the first team "Philosophy". Although it is a powerful school that can manipulate the law of cause and effect or the theory of existence, on the other hand, it is relatively unfamiliar with physical magic such as space control.

The original interpreter of "No.539" was another witch sent by LCO, a newcomer who completely mastered the magic of space control and was named "The Witch of the Sky".

"Of course. She's a witch who was designed for this purpose. Let's put it to good use, before we find that. ”

Saying the loser's hard words, Emma laughed. That's right, that little girl is a prop, but it's a good doll. In agreement, Octavia smiled.

The next moment, the sisters' smiles froze because they found the cold murderous aura that was coming towards them.

"What man!?"

"Isn't it rude to defile this rare artistic landscape with dirty feet——!

The two of them, who were hanging from the willow eyebrows, turned around, and then they lost their previous margin.

An intruder stepped on the magic circle they had drawn in blood. He is a person with supernatural magical powers.

A miasma mist floated out of the magic array, and translucent tentacles crawled out of the mist.

That was the day before yesterday, the troops of the SAR garrison were destroyed in an instant, the monster of Ashdowne, the "guardian" of the Meia sisters. It reacts to foreign objects entering the barrier and begins to attack automatically. Countless tentacles struck the intruder, smashing its flesh to pieces—

The next moment I thought about it, because of the storm of powerful explosions, the tentacles of the "Guardian" were blown away.

"What!?"

The witch sister's expression was contorted in surprise.

In the midst of the tentacle flesh that rained down, the intruders continued to walk as if nothing had happened, staring at them coldly.

It was a beautiful blonde man in a pure white three-piece suit, with a haughty smile on his lips and huge teeth peeking out of his lips.

"Oh, yes, I thought you could make me happier and let it go, but I didn't expect you to hide here, secretly buying time. Am I overestimating 'The Witches of Ashdowne'? ”
