On the outskirts of the city of Liverpool, at the end of the paved road, there is a rural village.

In the countryside, there is a building that looks like a wealthy farmer's house.

The building is made up of two adjoining two-storey stone houses, which are quite elaborate in appearance, and there is a tall fodder stacked next to it, which appears to be a storage warehouse, and next to it sits a wooden livestock hut, which encloses the surrounding area, forming a large territory.

There is a signage at the entrance to the territory.

The kanban board says something like this.

———— "orphanage".

Under Loki's leadership, Luo Zhen came here.

"Is this the orphanage you live in?"

Luo Zhen hid behind a tree and asked Loki beside him.

In this regard, Loki didn't say anything, but stared ahead with unusually sharp eyes, as if he was not looking at his own home, but a cold prison, not to mention emotion, even hatred was about to appear.

And right?

If Rowe's guess is correct, the orphanage is where Bronson used to collect experiments for human experiments, then, as Bronson's adopted son, Loki must have undergone the experiment of heart ingenuity in the orphanage in front of him, just like Frey.

In other words, Loki, like Frey, had his heart altered to have the talent to stand out among the magicians.

It's just that, unlike Frey, Loki's talent is even better, even if the limit of the heart has not been opened, he can have the strength of the "Thirteen" level, and is even known as an existence that can rival the former Magnus.

In that case, it is not surprising that Loki would look at his so-called home with such eyes.

"And then?" Loki didn't even look at Luo Zhen, and said directly, "Are you going to go in?" ”

"What do you say?" Luo Zhen also didn't even look at Loki, and said, "Are you going to continue to lead the way?" ”

"Since it's something I've decided to do, there's no reason to give up halfway." Loki made a gesture in a somewhat roundabout way, and his tone was extremely indifferent, "It's just, how are you going to get in?" ”

If you look closely, next to this territory, in the hut that was supposed to be for tenant farmers to rest, there are actually two men who are guarding and talking.

Although they were talking, the two men would glance in the direction of the road from time to time, and each of them held a shotgun in his hand, and he was extremely guarded.

(If it's really an ordinary orphanage, where does it need to be so heavily guarded?) ）

Luo Zhen became more and more sure in his heart that there must be some secret here.

So, if you want to go in, you have to go in.

"I can go in, but I don't know if you can do it."

Loki sneered slightly.

In this regard, Luo Zhen naturally needs to prove his ability with actions.

At that moment, Luo Zhen directly pinched his handprint and sang a mantra.

"———— Om Abhidoya Morithi Ruba Suo ————"

Along with the chanting of the Morichi Innocence Mantra, which represents the sun and is the protector of stealth and disaster avoidance, a faint spell was released from Luo Zhen's body, causing the figures of the two people, including Loki, to be like a mirage, first shaking for a while, and then disappearing into the air.

"This is..."

Loki was a little surprised at first, and then finally looked at Luo Zhen.

"How can you do magic so quickly without the help of magic tools and magic stones?"

Loki's eyes changed a little when he looked at Luo Zhen.

In this day and age, people have long since abandoned many tedious and lengthy magic tricks and developed Karakuri techniques that can perform magic quickly, quickly and effectively, and only those ancient magic tricks that can still adapt to the times still exist in the world.

For example, the "Onmyojutsu" that can directly generate gods to fight and the "Genie Magic" that can directly manipulate spirits to fight belong to this category, and magic that can abandon the cumbersome and lengthy spell-casting process is eligible to survive and be inherited by future generations.

Magicians who do not possess ancient magic techniques such as "Yin-Yang Technique" and "Genie Magic" can only use magic tools or magic stones if they want to use magic quickly without the power of automata.

Equipped with a magic circuit, it is a device that can perform magic tricks———— "magic equipment".

It stores magic power, and even has different magic qualities depending on the structure and composition, and can replace the magic circuit's natural battery ———— "magic stone".

If you don't use automata, you have to use these two props to perform magic quickly, agilely, and effectively.

However, magic tools and magic stones are not as animate and intelligent as automata, so the magician must control the magic and circuits alone to have an effect.

To use the metaphor of musical instruments, automata are instruments that come with a player, while ordinary magic tools and magic stones are simply musical instruments, and the skill of the caster himself is required to determine whether the magic can be successfully carried out and how effective it will be after implementation.

Now, Luo Zhen did not use magic tools, let alone magic stones, and successfully used magic with just one spell, which could not surprise Loki.

At this time, Loki remembered a rumor in the academy again.

(I heard that this guy once drove a giant eagle to declare war on Magnus.) ）

This matter has been circulating in the academy now.

Many people speculated that it might be another automaton of Luo Zhen.

However, after that, the giant eagle disappeared without a trace, and even the academy claimed that Luo Zhen did not land such an automaton on the case, proving that the other party was not Luo Zhen's automaton puppet.

Unless Rogen specifically hides it.

But this is a violation of the rules of the Royal Karakuri College of Walburges.

"Student puppets must be registered, otherwise they will be prosecuted as trespassing on the college."

This is the rule of the Royal Karakuri Academy of Walpurges.

When it comes to automata, the academy has always been very strict.

In any case, automata are beings with supernormal powers, and once they make trouble outside, or are sent into the academy by the enemy, the impact and potential damage caused are extremely great.

In view of this, if you deliberately hide an automaton that is not registered, you may be expelled from school in serious cases.

To sum up, people no longer think that Luo Zhen has a second automaton doll.

In that case, where did the previous giant eagle come from?

Coupled with Luo Zhen's current performance...

(Could it be that this man inherited some kind of ancient magic?) ）

Remembering that Luo Zhen was from the Far East and knew the princess of Izanagiri, Loki was more and more sure of this.

"This is the so-called 'Yin-Yang Technique', right?"

Loki asked quietly.

It seems that Loki thought that Luo Zhen was the same as the three of Rilun, Pleiades, and Liulian, and was the successor of the Yin and Yang Dao.

That's right.

"This is indeed the 'Yin-Yang Technique', yes."

Luo Zhen responded disappreciatively.

(It's just that it's not the "Yin and Yang Technique" of this world.) ）

Luo Zhen hid such a sentence in his heart.

As everyone knows, this is also enough to make Loki re-recognize Luo Zhen.

(Karakuri magic alone can suppress the Angel of Wisdom, if this person still knows how to use that kind of ancient magic...... ）

Loki's eyes became solemn as he looked at Luo Zhen.

In such a situation......

"Don't use your magic, or the invisibility will be cracked." Luo Zhen admonished Loki like this, and said calmly, "Okay, let's go in." ”

Hearing this, Loki didn't answer, just silently followed in front and walked into the orphanage with Luo Zhen.
