Act 322. Aftercare
"Phyllis?"
Reiner immediately recognized his sister and the girl behind her, the one he had met in the city library and had since disappeared.
Turns out she's Phyllis's companion?
Behind the girl, a circle of ripples spread, and from the center of the ripples, countless cannon muzzles protruded, ranging from the thin barrels of flintlock muskets to the huge heavy cannons of warships, and so on, covering the sky like stars.
"It's ...... Space folding, there is such a scale of space folding meow? ”
Lady Freya's cat's eyes widened as she watched the armed forces behind the blonde girl.
Space folding is not a particularly uncommon spell, and its simplest application is a storage bag, which can hold several times its volume in a small bag, which is called space folding.
However, due to the fact that the space folding spell itself is not very stable and can only be stabilized in a very small space, it can only be used as a storage bag, and the stabilization of large space folding spells has always been a difficult problem to overcome.
But the girl in front of her, the space behind her has occupied an area far beyond the scope of even the largest storage bag, this is indeed a space folding, but it is not a magic that exists in the world.
In contrast, the girl's series of attacks directly knocked Macon down has become less amazing.
Macon's body was riddled with holes, and the sturdy armor was gradually melting, evaporating, and drifting into smoke, and he fell to the ground, covered in blood, and no longer able to see what a human had been.
Even Macon closed his eyes before he could say his last words.
It all came so suddenly, leaving Reiner confused and even more vigilant.
He originally thought that his sister Phyllis had only been exposed to a certain amount of magic and had learned spells such as charm, but he didn't expect Phyllis to come into contact with such a powerful existence.
Although Macon was attacked by a sneak attack, the expressionless girl just now directly killed Macon who was in the strongest defensive state with just one blow, which can be seen how strong her combat power is, not to mention the huge scale of spatial folding ability she showed.
Now Reiner is thinking about one thing, is his sister an enemy or a friend?
"I'm amazed that you could find Macon on your own, and even push him into a corner."
Phyllis's heels stomped on the ground with a crisp sound.
The blonde girl followed behind her, silently putting away all her weapons, and the muzzle of the cannon that had originally filled half the sky was quickly submerged in the void, and there was no trace of it again.
"Introduction, this is Halleyson, you may have already seen it."
Phyllis came to Reiner and pointed to the girl beside her with an indifferent expression.
Reiner nodded slightly, as if he had figured out something.
If she could use a space folding spell of that scale, it would not be so incomprehensible for this girl named Helleson to disappear even under Reiner's nose, she must have a strong ability to manipulate space, and it is not impossible to hide in the rift.
"So, what are you going to do when you show up now?"
Reiner asked.
Madame Freya hid behind him, staring warily at Phyllis, and for some reason this woman made her feel very jealous, a kind of instinctive awe.
"Macon is one of the Serpents of Chaos, and I have to hunt them down for some reason, it's as simple as that."
Phyllis shrugged her shoulders and said, her action was exactly the same as Reiner's, and the blood connection could be seen.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you think I'm coveting the Philosopher's Stone, or Macon's secret, but in that case, I'll be very sad as an older sister."
She said so, but there was no corresponding emotion on her face.
"Macon is dead, your purpose has been achieved."
Reiner said vigilantly at the other party's every move.
"Yes, but Reiner, have you ever wondered why our father is looking for traces of Macon?"
Phyllis watched with interest as Lady Freya, who was hiding behind Reiner, with her tail fur blown up and her back hunched, trying to tease the kitten, but was attacked by Lady Freya's bared teeth.
"You mean, Father wants the power of the Philosopher's Stone?"
Reiner frowned slightly, in his memory, Winchester, the head of the Ian Gray family, was not close to magic, for him, it was just a means to make money, and he had no intention of pursuing a long life, and the most common thing Winchester said to his children was to live in the moment.
It is hard to imagine that such a person would be attached to the Philosopher's Stone.
"Just before he died, Macon said that he decided to make the Philosopher's Stone in order to resurrect Aunt Selia, right?"
Phyllis didn't answer directly, but changed her mind.
"Is it possible that my father knew about the making method of the Philosopher's Stone on Macon's body for a long time, so he sent Aunt Celia to approach Macon, this time, to find the knowledge she had obtained from Aunt Celia."
As she spoke, she put her hands behind her back and circled Reiner in a half-circle, a position that gave Phyllis's beautiful figure an unobstructed view.
"I've heard from some of the older servants in the family that Aunt Selia had a very close relationship with her father, even more so than her mother, and maybe there is a more interesting story in it."
“......”
Reiner couldn't deny the possibility, if it was his father, who put his interests first, maybe he would really be able to do such a thing. The entanglement between Haidahya and Aunt Selia can no longer be discussed, now that both are dead.
"That's it, I'm not interested in these things."
"It's a pity, I still want to talk to you more, alone."
Phyllis whispered in Reiner's ear, and the warm breath hit Reiner's ear, causing a slight itching sensation, and if it were someone else, he might have already wavered.
"No need, if I'm not mistaken, Your Excellency the High Mage of the Mercury Balance will be here in a moment, I wonder if Sister Phyllis would be interested in talking to him, especially about this Miss Halleyson."
Reiner glanced at the girl who had been silent since the beginning, staring at the dead Macon.
Phyllis sneered, then took a few steps back.
"Well, in that case, I won't say anything more, about today's matter, I hope my lovely brother will help me keep this secret."
She smiled slightly, and Halleyson behind her raised her hand slightly.
"Hopefully the next time I see you, I won't be disappointed again, Reiner."
I saw that the space seemed to be suddenly torn apart, and the two of them were wrapped in it, and soon, the place where they were standing was empty, and no trace of anyone could be found.
Reiner probed slightly, but he really couldn't sense the aura of Phyllis and Halleyson, and he relaxed slightly.
Phyllis aside, that Halleyson undoubtedly has extremely strong strength,
Why did they go out of their way against the Serpent of Chaos, and for what purpose?
Reiner didn't know.
