A week later, after the originally lively Haha-in Festival ended, a shocking news came out, which made the newly calmed down Xianjin Island a sensation again...

And the main reason for this sensation is...

'The dragon vein of Xianshen Island has undergone unpredictable changes, in order to thoroughly investigate the changes caused by the dragon vein and avoid unnecessary disasters to Xianshen Island, from today, for a week, the residents of Xianshen Island have temporarily evacuated the island to cooperate with the investigation of the dragon vein! ”

This is the original words released by the high-level leaders of Xianshen City!

What is a dragon vein?!

The so-called dragon vein is actually another name for the spiritual vein!

In this world, there are some places where the land is naturally full of very strong, so strong that human beings have absolutely no way to possess spiritual power, and the source of these innate spiritual powers is the spiritual veins, which are the so-called dragon veins, the existence of huge spiritual power meridians flowing on the surface of the earth!

Because the spiritual power on the dragon vein is far beyond people's imagination, and to a certain extent, it is like feng shui shelter to bless the place on the surface where the dragon vein is located, so people believe that the spiritual power exuded from the dragon vein will become the vitality of the city and city built on the location of the dragon vein, and lead the city to prosperity.

So, if someone finds the area where the dragon veins flow through, then that area. It is usually snatched up and used to build large, prosperous cities.

And Xianshen Island is an artificial island built on the sea where the dragon veins intersect!

The land built on the dragon vein will be full of spiritual power, and whether it can bring prosperity to the city or not, there is no absolute evidence to prove its truth.

However, it has been determined that being on top of the dragon vein, people can perform more powerful spiritual arts or magic than usual, and even some magic rituals that are very difficult to perform can be successfully performed with the blessing of the dragon vein!

This is a study of the demons. It is a special area of the 'Demon Special Zone'. It's a great help.

It is also because of this that Xianshen Island will be built on the ocean far from the mainland continent, just to get the blessing of the dragon vein, not only Xianshen Island. Basically. All of the famous Demon Special Zones are built on the Dragon Vein. Only some demon special districts that are conducting not very important research will casually find a place to build it.

Of course, being able to get the blessing and protection of the dragon vein is one aspect. On top of that, the source of the magic that is used to maintain the enhanced magic engraved in the cornerstone of the four large floating structures that support the four large floating structures that allow the island to exist safely is also transformed from the spiritual power on the dragon veins!

In other words, once something goes wrong with the dragon vein, then the enhanced magic on the cornerstone gate will also lose the source of mana, unless it is supported by new mana, otherwise, when the magic power on the magic spell is exhausted, the cornerstone gate will no longer have the ability to support the string god island.

At that time, even if the String God Island does not sink, it will be torn apart, which is equivalent to total destruction!

Therefore, the matter of the dragon vein can be big or small, if there is really any problem, it is better to find out, otherwise, it will not be good for anyone, especially Xianshen Island.

So, as soon as the news came out, the residents of Xianshen Island calmly accepted the arrangement and began a seven-day evacuation to temporarily live in the mainland.

This made the ancient city who learned of this situation very satisfied.

After all, the Lion King Agency is in a competitive relationship with the high-level people on the String God Island in a certain way, and that month has said more than once that the Lion King Organ is her business opponent, and now, the Lion King Organ uses the abnormal dragon vein as an excuse to let the residents of the String God Island leave for the time being, and it stands to reason that the high-level officials on the String God Island are unlikely to agree.

It's not that they don't have demon attackers, and it's not that they can't compare to the Lion King Organ, since the Lion King Organ can detect the abnormality of the dragon vein, then they also have the ability to solve the anomaly, and if they don't have the ability, they must also be hard!

This is the way the top does it!

However, the top brass still let the general public evacuate.

Gucheng was not surprised by this result, because he rarely did things that he was not sure of.

The so-called competitive relationship is just an opposition based on a certain competing interest or nature, and when it really comes to the point where there is no benefit or impact on both parties, this kind of competitive relationship will also become a cooperative relationship.

Offending a Fourth True Ancestor for the sake of a String God Island with a population of less than 500,000 people would not be beneficial to either the Lion King Organ or the higher-ups of String God Island.

For the top management, as long as you have enough interests, then even the peers who have been cooperating for many years will become competitive. Being able to get the favor of a true ancestor is naturally undesirable for them.

It's just a temporary evacuation, and it's not like you can't come back forever, the impact is not big at all, except for those powerful demon attackers and demons who really can't control it, let some ordinary residents obey the arrangement, it's simple and can't be simpler.

That's right, in Xianshen Island, ordinary residents and demons have already evacuated, but those demon attackers and demons who have seen a little heresy are still on Xianshen Island.

……

"You're a witch, aren't you?" Looking at the girl in front of him, Gu Cheng asked out loud.

"yes." Looking at the ancient city, Yuma admitted his identity.

"Why?"

"yes, why...... Why am I doing this?" said Yuma's deep, bitter voice. Caught in a long time of contemplation...

The maiden was born in the basement of an old castle.

In place of lullabies, the chant of magic is heard. It was the handmaidens who witnessed her birth. In place of the warmth of the mother's arm, the only thing that was given was the glass tank full of cold liquid.

The girl has no memory of before the age of six. The bare minimum of knowledge necessary to survive everyday life, and a pact with demons, was all she could remember.

The girl was born at the age of six, alone in the basement of the castle.

――Where's my mother?

The girl asked the maid of the artificial lifeform.

"In the prison barrier."

At that time, the maids replied.

- Prison Enchantment? What is that?

"Hyunjin City, Tokyo, a prison in the 'Demon Special Zone' located in the far east. It is sealed in a different dimension from this world, the penal colony of Eternal Calamity, and the labyrinth of time where there is no exit. Because of the betrayal of the damned 'Witch of the Void', your mother was imprisoned in the dark abyss. ”

For the young girl who has just been born, the words of the maids descend like a curse.

"Lord Aye, I gave birth to you as a trump card to escape from that prison. A pure-blooded witch who was born to make a pact with demons.,The 'Witch of the Sky' who is guarded by the Blue Knight.。 ”

The girl didn't understand anything. I know only my mother, who is locked up in a distant place. And then in order to escape from there, oneself is indispensable.

However, the girl had a question.

If you say that you were born to help escape from prison, then what will become of you when this mission is completed? For my mother, who is no longer a prisoner, will it be necessary?

"Your body is still young, and it will take a long time to grow up to be able to fully use your magic. After your sixteenth birthday, at the beginning of the dark season, on the day of the Bonfire Festival, you will travel to the 'Demon Zone' and break the seal of the prison barrier. ”

The maids would not answer the girl's questions. But their words, which were repeated over and over again, were engraved in the girl's spirit with a detailed plan to save her mother.

This is also the curse that her mother put on her. It's all part of the magic trick. She's just a prop to get out of prison, part of a sophisticated program.

"Don't worry. We, the Library, will support you as your siblings. Everything is as your mother wants—"

As the maidens said, when the maiden was thirteen years old, a large number of magisters visited the city.

They gave all their knowledge to the maiden. The organization called the LCO, the information about the "Demon Special Zone", the means of interpreting the magic book, and the control method of the "Guardian", and the way to use the power of the witch -

Born a witch, she is outstanding, and finally got the status of "secretary" in the organization. However, there is no one who can answer the girl's questions.

――Is there any value in your existence other than the mission you have been given?

The girl asked the "Guardian" who was standing behind her.

However, there was no answer from the shameless knight. There is no answer -

……

Raising his head and looking at the ancient city, Youma said sadly: "Because this is what I have to do, it is my destined fate to untie the 'prison barrier'." ”

"My mother, Xiandu Mu Aye, the former commander of the LCO organization. She was arrested on Hyunjin Island and has been locked up in the prison barrier since ten years ago. And the props she prepared for the escape from prison were me. ”

Looking at the ancient city, Yuma laughed to himself.

I am an IVF baby that has been accelerated. Ten years ago, it was born at the age of six. The ancient city is just a little bit before I meet you. Whether it's about me becoming a witch or breaking the barrier of Hyun God Island Prison, it was designed by my mother from the beginning. ”

"Is my acquaintance also in your mother's plan?" The ancient city asked angrily.

Knowing himself as a precious companion only for the sake of his mother's plans could only make the ancient city angry and desperate. Again, there is a little sadness.

Yuma shook her head without confusion.

"No, the ancient city. This is the only one I have chosen. I told you, all I have is you. There is nothing that can be called my own possession but an encounter with you. ”

"Nothing like that......!"

Stopping the ancient city with his hand, who was about to refute, Yuma turned around.

"Knowing that you have obtained the power of the Fourth True Ancestor, the LCO changed his plans slightly. Originally, in order to break the seal of the prison barrier, it was expected that about 100,000 residents of Hyunjin Island would be used as a living sacrifice. However, thanks to the blessing of the ancient city, there is no need for that...... Thank you, ancient city. ”
