Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Engraved Worm That Eats Sakura
Gollum was silent, Yan Feng was not Maqiri, although he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence for the time being, but his admonition had to be kept in mind.
"You know how to choose between friends and foes, you are very smart. I'll tell you the secrets of the Maki family. ”
Yan Fengqili's tone changed, the smile faded, and the atmosphere of the scene became heavy.
"You know the kid named Sakura, right?"
Gollum nodded.
"It happened ten years ago, and the blood relationship between the children gradually thinned out, and the magic circuits of the children born became fewer. Because Maki was originally a magician elsewhere, it didn't fit in with the water and soil here in Fuyuki, and from the time he took root in this town, Maki began to decline, and by the heir of this generation, Shinji, finally even the magic circuit disappeared completely. ”
"Wanting to have such an end is just self-inflicted."
In pursuit of the Holy Grail, the end of the decline of Machiri should have been predicted, this is a well-deserved retribution, not worthy of sympathy.
"You're right, but if someone can inherit what Maki is after, then it's good to leave it to the disciple. But Jian Tong is a famous family, and constantly refuses to accept outsiders. As a result, the magic power of the heir born gradually decreased, and finally the magic power disappeared completely... Things have come to this point, although they want to accept disciples, but there is no magician who is willing to come to the famous family of Luo, and this state has lasted for hundreds of years...... This is the end of the history of domination. ”
Shinji's father adopted an adopted son from outside and passed on the magic of Maki to that child, and the magician family was passed down by one son. Except for the children who are designated as heirs, they will never teach other children magic, and if one of the siblings is chosen as the heir, the other will either be raised in ordinary ways or sent out to be adopted sons. "You don't need to have two heirs.
It would be against the intent to raise a child who had accumulated the magic circuit of several generations of blood, and if he did not give birth to an heir at all, and his excellent genetic factors fell into a deep sleep.
"Sakura is Rin Tosaka's own sister, and Machiri has told me about it, but I didn't get the answer I wanted."
Although he has an excellent talent for magic, the Kirimo family can't give Sakura a normal magic circuit, so how did Sakura get that excellent ability hidden in her?
"Now for the point, have you ever heard of the Tick Worm?"
"Tick Worm?"
For this kind of bug that makes people uncomfortable when they hear the name, Gollum will not understand it, although she knows the profession of insect magician, but she has no leisure to learn about these disgusting bugs.
Yan Feng explained that the so-called engraved insects are similar to the nerves of magic circuits, and the original nerves are combined with each other and spread throughout the body, and the magic engraving that turns out is stopped at ordinary times and has no effect on people.
However, once it is used, it will invade the nerves and use magic as food and keep activating, and if the marking worm lingers in the body, it will take away the magic power of the human life force.
"Sakura was implanted with something like that?" Gollum's brow furrowed.
"That's right, as long as that state continues for another half a day, Sakura will die. The marker insect that absorbs the power of the power will further eat the flesh of the Kirizakuri Sakura in order to get nutrients, and the Maki Sakura whose magic power is eaten up will be taken away by the marker worm in the body. ”
You don't have to think about it to know what kind of pain it is.
The unpleasant feeling of foreign matter being mixed in from the end of the human body is constantly complaining, and sometimes it can also hinder life activities. There are "different" nerves mixed where they reach the nerves, and as long as they move slightly, they will feel unpleasant, and even if they feel nauseous and want to vomit, they will be uncomfortable and want to die.
“..... From this point of view, it is amazing that Sakura's consciousness can last until just now. But whether this is because Sakura's perseverance is too strong, or if she is used to the carving worm, then you have to ask herself. ”
Yan Feng didn't care as much as he was telling a story, but Gollum's heart was filled with anger, the transplantation of the magic mark was originally a very painful thing, plus it was the mark worm that would devour the magic power, if Sakura had been suffering like this since she was a child, it was unimaginable.
"Is there a way to get the Marker Worm out?"
It's just that he didn't listen to Yan Feng's narration, and Gudazi couldn't stand it anymore, so he suppressed his mood and asked.
"Of course, there are ways, but it's really difficult to pick them out. The marker has become a magic circuit, and it has become a part of the cherry blossoms of the Kiri. Even the practitioner who implanted the mark himself could not untie it. Besides, the Marker Worm is only used as a surveillance function, and it will only start to sanction and eat her when Sakura Maki destroys 'certain conditions', and as long as the enemy is still there, it is meaningless. ”
Yan Feng was right, if he didn't completely defeat that old guy, it would be impossible to redeem Sakura, suppressing the mood that erupted in his heart, Gura slowly calmed down.
As for the conditions, she has already guessed that the real Master of Medusa Rider is Sakura Makiri, and if she gives up fighting as a Master, then I'm afraid it will be the restriction of the Engraved Worm.
That's why Sakura will refuse her identity, if she fights, she will be killed by the Marking Worm, and she doesn't even have a chance to fight, she has no choice at all.
Because once Sakura chooses to resist, let alone the body, she can't even keep her spirit. Anyway, she has magic marks all over her body.
Sakura's life is held in the hands of the dirty inkstone, and if you want to save Sakura, you must defeat the dirty inkstone.
However, if you want to defeat the dirty inkstone, you must first find a way to rescue Sakura, and the child is a puppet manipulated by the dirty inkstone. If the dirty inkstone is pressed, it will definitely use Sakura as a shield.
It's paradoxical, but that's the way it is.
For the dirty inkstone, Sakura is a pawn that can only be used, just like instigating Shinji Kiri, he will also manipulate Sakura.
In terms of ability as a master, Sakura Maki is very good, and as long as the dirty inkstone urges the bugs, it will become a chess piece that is a hundred times better than Shinji Makiri.
"Thank you for telling me these things, this Holy Grail War, and I'm going to put an end to it in my own way."
Gollum replied, dragged his tired body, and walked out of the church, Yan Feng just watched Gollum leave with an indescribable smile of pleasure without saying a word.
Not long after, a handsome young man with blond hair and red eyes walked out of the depths of the church, also with a happy expression.
"Gilgamesh, what do you think?"
"I didn't expect such an interesting character to appear in the war between miscellaneous cultivators, so you can look forward to her performance."
The corners of the blonde youth's mouth curled, and what could be seen in his pupils was more profound than anyone else's.
