"Then, I'll retire first." The well-dressed and polite messenger bent down slightly at Mo Wen: "Looking forward to meeting you again." ”

“…… Ten days later? I'll go. "How could he know about my ...... Even though he's one of the strongest humans in the world at this time, he shouldn't have noticed me. Mo Wen rubbed his temples. [Or is he also in control of the power of fate?] That's interesting......]

"Master, that man's breath...... It's weird. The black god who was standing beside Mo Wen frowned slightly. Pure but icy ...... It's not human. ”

"He's not a human in the first place, if I'm not mistaken, this guy should be a demon...... "Mo asked: "But the strength is average, and even the weakest Xiaobai can't beat it." ”

"Master, do you really want to go?" The black god was silent for a while, and then spoke, "We just entered this world and attracted the attention of the other party......

"I have a little faith in your master." Mo Wen smiled and rubbed the little girl's head: "Don't worry, I have a plan......"

[It is rumored on the Internet that the magic envoy has the combat power of the Heroic Spirit level, and if I appear as a Heroic Spirit now, then even if I face that guy, I must have the power to fight......] Mo Wen looked into the distance. [But just like the little black god said, it is not a wise man to enter the home field of an unclear position and a powerful guy unprepared, anyway, there is plenty of time, so let's prepare first.] 】

……

After packing up the furniture, tidying up the house, arranging the defensive barriers, 'collecting' the local currency, and purchasing daily necessities, it took Mo Wen and his party about a morning to set up their temporary stronghold in this world, and Sakura finally woke up.

"You ...... Who is it? Sakura's voice trembled slightly—even after Mo Wen's treatment, the little girl's body was still very weak.

"We are travelers from another world, and we have entered this world as heroic spirits." Mo Wen replied, "In the terminology of your world, for now, we are all your demons. ”

"Otherworldly traveler? Heroic Spirits? Demons? The young Sakura was confused by these proper nouns that popped out of Mo Wen's mouth, although she was born in this world, how could she understand and understand the meaning of Mo Wen without a little magic foundation?

“…… To put it simply, you're caught up in a dispute with a magician, and your life is in danger if you're not careful; I, on the other hand, am the partner who will be with you in this event. Mo asked frankly.

"Danger to life? Magician? Disputes? I...... Can I choose to give up? The little girl's expression changed slightly.

“…… By the time the mark on the back of your hand appears, there's no turning back. Mo asked and said flatly: "What about your choice?" Is it to join me in this war, or is it something else? If you don't believe me, I won't force you...... That old worm living in this house isn't your relative, I can send you back to your real relative. ”

"I ...... Can I think about it? ”

"No problem, I have plenty of time." Mo asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

"Nope."

"Then think about it slowly, after all, your life is at stake." The monk came to the door and stopped: "By the way, I have cleaned you of the worms in your body, but they still cause quite serious injuries to your body...... These days you're thinking about better off exercising less and resting more. ”

"Hmm."

……

"How? Did she promise? As soon as Mo Wen went out, the little devil came over.

"No, she's still hesitating." Mo Wen replied casually.

"Huh? Does this still need to be considered? Lias didn't understand: "We should be her only support...... Or does she want to live in an orphanage? ”

"We are not her only support, on the contrary, the people closest to her live nearby." Thinking of the three views of those magicians in this world, Mo Wen sneered: "It was his 'father' who personally gave her to this old worm." ”

"Is there such a father...... No, there should be. The little devil was startled, thinking of his arranged marriage, and then his face darkened: "Then what is she hesitating about?" ”

"She's only five years old now, Lias." Mo Wen shook his head.

"Taki-chan is a little smaller than her." The little devil pouted and stopped talking.

……

[I actually escaped from that hell......] Thinking back on what happened to her these days, Sakura felt very unreal.

[If I go back home, my father will definitely give me to someone else...... The heir to the Demon Dao of the Tosaka family is destined to be her sister's; And the mother will certainly not oppose the father's decision. The little girl curled up in the quilt pursed her lips, tears rolling in her eyes. [Then will I follow him?] But my sister ...... And the dangers he spoke of......]

【What should I do......] Sakura pinched the quilt and couldn't help but think of that night she would never forget.

[Father...... Is the Demon Dao really important to you? Mother's ......】

Tears still fell after all.

……

[What a sin...... The magician of this world. Listening to Sakura's suppressed sobs, Mo Wen shook his head silently.

"Master...... Why don't you take me there? The black god asked.

"Oh......" Mo asked back to his senses, "That's the case, I'm definitely not going to bring that little girl, so someone needs to stay behind...... Metaki, your strength is in the same vein as mine, and you can better manipulate the magic circle I have set up, plus the protection of Moexiang, which is enough to deal with most enemies - even if you encounter a strong attack, you can support me until I come back. ”

"And when are we leaving? Is it far away from us? Lias was in high spirits.

"Sunday next week." Mo Wen glanced at the calendar: "I'll go and settle my identity in a while, and then book a few train tickets...... After all, the rule of this world is that supernatural beings should remain mysterious, and we should not be too public. ”

"What is a train?" Bai Qiong tilted her head, although the kitten of the demon clan has the inheritance of memory imprints, most of them are about the monster world.

"A means of transportation...... It's in this town, so if you're curious, you can go out and check it out. Mo asked: "That's all there is to it, and then there is free time...... But don't go crazy and consolidate yourself when you have time. ”

"Got it!" Lias waved her hand at Mo Wen, then grabbed Meng Xiang and turned her head to look at the black god: "Go!" Let's go shopping for clothes! ”

……

"Isn't it Kirito who met you?" The old man narrowed his eyes and played with the antique tea set in his hand.

"Yes...... The man's strength was great, but it was not as damp and decaying as your master had described. The messenger bowed his head and said, "Although I am not strong, the sense of oppression that person gives me is definitely not the ...... that a great magician should have."

"What do you mean...... He's a magician? ”

“…… The subordinates are not sure. The man stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hold back." The old man put down his teacup.

"Master, that man is powerful and his character is unknown, so you invited him here in case he is greedy......" The man did not hide his apprehension.

“…… It's just a spiritual vein, it doesn't matter. The old man's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, but then slowly thawed: "A rare opportunity...... You know, my time is running out. ”

……

[I originally thought that there was anything special about the so-called 'crooked core spiritual vein', but I didn't expect it to be an ordinary psychic place. The monk standing in the clouds carefully observed the terrain under his feet and shook his head silently. [However, this place is better than the four spiritual lands in Fuyuki City, if you can practice here......]

After the three of Lias went shopping on the street, Mo Wen left Xiaobai to look after the house, and then stealth Edgeworth himself, and crossed most of Japan and came to Misaki City.

【…… Forget it, let's get down to business! Mo Wen put away his thoughts and fell from the clouds.

……

Ten days later, in a small cottage on an unnamed hill on the edge of Misaki City.

"Old man, what did you ask me to come over?" The young girl with blue eyes pouted dissatisfiedly: "I still have classes in the afternoon." ”

"Aoko......" The red-haired and calm girl with glasses gently tugged at her sister. Be polite. ”

"Got it......" seems to have a vague sense of a bad future, and Aoko Aosaki's mood is quite irritable at this time: "Anyway, the old man, he doesn't care......"

"Aoko!" Aosaki Orange glared at her sister fiercely.

"Well, a distinguished guest is coming in a moment...... Orange, don't be too harsh on your sister, she's in nature. The old man in the seat said lightly.

"Yes......" Aozaki Orange lowered her head and buried her face in the shadows.

"Hey......" [Hope...... Don't let me down. Looking at his two granddaughters, the old man sighed secretly.

……

"It's a nice place for people to live......"

At the foot of the mountain, the little devil standing in the forest breathed a deep sigh, and the fresh breath made Lias's whole body relax.

"A good place is a good place...... I just don't know if the people who live there are good people. Mo Wen touched Xiaobai's head lying on his shoulder: "Let's go." ”

……

"It's a pleasure to see you again." The waiter touched his chest with his hand and bowed his head to Mo Wen: "The master is waiting in the main hall to bring you here, please come with me." ”

"Good ......" [There is no abnormality in the flow of spiritual power along the leylines, although there is a magic circle in the building, but it is not opened, is this to express that there is no malice?] But the threads of fate are in a mess...... It's kind of interesting! Mo Wen simply agreed.

"Please."

After turning a corner, the waiter led Mo Wen to a spacious room, where an old man with a white beard sat in the middle, his eyes blazing, like a male lion entrenched.

To his left and right, sat two young maidens, the red-haired and glasses-capped girl on the left sat quietly, without a trace of fireworks; The black-haired girl on his right hand was visibly impatient, her bright blue eyes swirling, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

【Green & Orange...... Quiet blue and blazing red, the names of these two guys are reversed. Thinking back to the story he knew, and then looking at the living sisters in front of him, Mo Wen was a little emotional, and then launched the Eye of Fate at the old man. [The 'monster' of the Aozaki family, let me see the details of the magician......]

However, following the line of fate around the old man, all Mo Wen got was nothingness.

“…… It's not a good habit to peek into someone's past as soon as we meet. The old man smiled at Mo Wen.

"I received an invitation inexplicably, so I naturally had to be careful." [Did you block my probes...... Sure enough, he also has the power of destiny in his hands. Seeing that his tricks were spied on, Mo Wen was a little surprised, but his face was silent: "Let's get straight to the point, why did Your Excellency invite me here?" ”

"The young man is really impatient...... Well, you should know who I am. The old man squinted.

"The magician who holds the fifth magic...... There should be very few people in the world who don't know. Mo Wen said in a reasonable tone.

"And that's just for the people of this world...... Good information-gathering ability, young man from the outside. ”

Mo Wen's pupils shrank, and his gaze gradually became sharper.

The scene gradually cooled down, and Lias glanced at Mo Wen, then took a step back; Mo asked, Xiao Bai on his shoulder also narrowed his eyes.

"What are you looking for me for?" [One of the worst cases, how does he know that I am a visitor from the outside world...... The monk repeated, his voice calm and cold.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry...... I have no ill will towards you. The old man smiled: "I called you here just to ask you a question...... Now that you know about the existence of magicians, you should also understand what magic means. ”

"Nature."

"So, are you interested in becoming the next magician?"

The old man smiled and dropped a bomb.

……

"Didn't you say that your sister would inherit your mantle?" The first person to break the silence, Aoko Aosaki, the girl who had been silent for a while couldn't bear it anymore: "Why do you want to give the inheritance of the Aosaki family to outsiders?" Do you know how much my sister paid for this?! ”

"Let's correct it first, this is not the inheritance of the Aozaki family, but my inheritance." The old man ignored the angry little granddaughter and the eldest granddaughter who was sitting on the seat and clenched her fists: "Also, I naturally see the efforts of Orange, she is undoubtedly an outstanding magician, but magic is not something that can be inherited by hard work alone...... If this young man does not appear, then this burden should actually be handed over to Qingzi; After all, your qualifications are better suited to this power than your sister. ”

"Huh?" The girl was stunned by this exciting news.

"How's that, young man." Ignoring his granddaughter, who was already a little confused, the old man looked at Mo and asked, "There are no conditions, I just hope that the fifth magic can be passed on better." ”

"So." The old man stared at Mo tightly and asked, "What about your choice?" ”

……

"Hint: You've received a special mission, the Legacy of Fifth Magic."

"The Inheritance of the Fifth Magic: To become the inheritor of the powerful power of the Fifth Magic in this world, at the cost of losing the qualification of a traveler and remaining in this world forever."

……

The scene was quiet again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Wen's body, silently waiting for his choice.

【Effort...... In the end, it still can't compare to talent? Orange looked at Mo Wen, and suddenly felt a little excited, feeling that what he had done over the years was a joke.

[If he refuses, will the old man let me inherit this power?] My ordinary life, ah......] Aoko's heart is in turmoil. [This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, he shouldn't refuse.] 】

[That big fool doesn't want to be obsessed for a while......] The little devil pursed his lips tightly. [Did you promise me ......]

……

[Do you still need to choose?] And the state of this old man ......] Mo Wen sighed and looked directly into the old man's eyes: "It's hard to obey your fate." ”

The little devil breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you think about it?" The old man still didn't give up: "This is the power that countless people dream of!" ”

"Strength?" Mo Wen sneered: "There are many ways to pursue power, why do I have to learn from you...... Fifth magic, huh! It's a big name, don't think I don't know, among the five major magics, the second, third, and fourth are the means to reach the root, and the first and fifth laws are the outflow of the root...... Or rather, the manifestation of knowledge in the roots, you are a half-magician, who can only use power, but do not know why...... The power that cannot be fully controlled has no value to pursue at all! Not to mention ......"

The monk stared at the old man's eyes and said word by word, "Is there really no price?" ”

“…… How can you tell? After a moment of silence, the old man smiled bitterly.

"You don't have to worry about it......" Mo Wen raised his sword in his hand, "tell your true purpose!" ”

PS: I'm guilty...... There are still a lot of things to do on the holidays, friends gather or something......

PS2: It's been a long time since I put pen to paper, and I always feel less like writing...... I'm going to work again tomorrow, what a tragedy
