67. Orphanage
Taking Frey back to the office, Zero Guan casually found an excuse to ask Charles for help and let her watch over Frey for twenty hours. Charles, who had a good impression of Felix, agreed without thinking about it.
Charles, who was already in doubt, pulled Frey and quickly left the office.
The reason why I didn't ask Frey about the reason for "assassinating" Lei Zhen, and why the relationship between sister and brother was so bad, was because the reason for this was clear.
In order to mass-produce the "Children of Contract", Frey and Loki's adoptive father, Bronson, treats Frey and them as real animals, killing children with the same identity as Frey and making them into "parts". Taking hostages to unreasonably force Frey to attend the night party, Frey has to do everything she can to win, even if the methods she comes up with are stupid enough to make people want to cry.
As for Loki, that guy is purely a tsundere who cares about his sister but doesn't express his feelings clearly, and in the words of Zero, he's a clumsy guy.
With zero views of the past personality, Bronson must die!
Moreover, he is also interested in the magic circuit that Bronson has mastered, and he just solves it together.
Quietly summoned Shikigami and asked him to take Vena around the academy in the form of Felix, while Zero Guan restored his true form and went out from the gate of the academy.
Because he doesn't have the identity of a student in the academy, he exerts stealth magic on himself when he acts.
Stealth magic can not only hide the user's body, but also effectively suppress one's own breath, breathing, footsteps, and power fluctuations to a very low level, or even nothing. With the strength of Zero View at this time, let alone a puppeteer who can't do magic, even an automatic puppet who is good at searching can't think of discovering his traces.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the Book of Forgetfulness held by Zero View.
The Book of Oblivion deprives Zero of the power system other than the gifts of spells and the branches of the vine, so that he needs to go through the Book of Oblivion to mobilize magic or attribute power. At first glance, it seems that there is a suspicion of delaying the casting time, and without the agility that he used freely before, it greatly reduced the strength of Zero Guan and weakened his combat effectiveness.
If you think so, you're wrong.
And again, it couldn't be more wrong!
Whether it's that kind of magic, magic. or a similar attribute energy attack, the caster needs to make preparations in advance. Take the theory of the Moon World as an example, to launch magic is to promote magic style. Traditional magic requires the use of spells and charms, chanting, and even if these are simplified, they require a minimum of magic engraving.
It's the same with magic and magic in other worlds.
Even superpowers that claim to be "personal reality" require brain calculations...... On Zero's body, he also needs to temporarily weave the required magic spells when he uses magic and other skills.
Even because of the special nature of mana, this step cannot be ignored.
But there is the Book of Forgetting. The meaning is different.
The Book of Oblivion records magic spells, knowledge, etc., and Zero Vision, who has the skill to use it, only needs to urge the magic power and shout out the magic he wants to perform. The Book of Oblivion will automatically activate the corresponding spell to form an effective attack. There is no doubt that this is a tool that is simpler, faster, and more intelligent than magic marking.
If I had to say, the Book of Forgetting was the "CastingAssistantDevice", with which Zeroview could not even weave the technique. All you need to do is activate the mana and cast a magic spell.
And the best part. As long as it is recorded in the Book of Forgetting, the content in it will automatically become the knowledge in Zero's mind when Zeroview holds the gift, and even the effort to study will be saved.
As for the appearance of the Book of Oblivion, it is even less of a concern.
As a special type of gift, the Book of Oblivion, like the Book of Dark Green, is not limited to the form of a "book". Just like now, Zero View is to change it into a tattoo style and imprint it on the wrist.
If there is a so-called evaluation level in the form of magic, then the stealth magic that Zero Guan has blessed himself with the Book of Oblivion at this time is undoubtedly at the perfect level.
As he swaggered away from the academy gates. The guards and automaton did not react.
With the authority of the head of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Zero Guan has mastered the address left by Frey on the school record, and now in addition to the school, he can go straight there.
Walking out of the academy, Zeroview quietly activated the second spell, and quickly ran through the streets like the wind, heading straight for the outskirts of the city.
When the paved road came to an end, Zero Guan entered a potholed field path.
Not much walking.
A building in front of it that looked like a rich peasant mansion came into view.
If you look closely, you will see two small two-story buildings made of stone blocks, which look very imposing, with a one-man high silo next to the roof and a livestock house made of wood below.
"Even if it's a disguise, it's better to disguise like some!!" Zero Guan complained.
This is what Frey and Loki wrote on their school address, and it was marked as "orphanage", even if the word "orphanage" was clearly written on the signage at the entrance, and it was also written that there was a nearby monastery to manage it, but no matter how you look at it, there is nothing that matches!
Passing by the billboard, there is a small simple house not far away.
What once seemed to be a resting place for tenant farmers was now crowded with men suspected of being janitors. Of course, they didn't notice Zero, they were yawning and looking absentmindedly at the road.
They each had a Mauser in their hand, and they kept it within easy reach.
"A rabble!"
Glancing at the guys with disdain, Zero looked at the building further inside.
It can be seen that the people who built this are very rich.
From a closer look, the building is quite imposing, large-scale, and very strong. It is the iron fence installed on the windows, which somewhat destroys the image of the building as a whole.
Zero Guan turned his head to look at the cowshed next to him.
From the large open entrance, you can see that there are metal cages inside, and the dog-shaped automaton is kept.
Great Danes, Golden Retrievers, Shepherds, Dobermans, Curlies, and other hybrids of these. They were all poorly colored police dogs, or military dogs, with their legs and shoulders protected by armor.
Although the breeds are different, there is no doubt that these canines are automaton of the same model as Rabbi.
These guys were all sleeping soundly, unaware of Zero's prying eyes. Compared to the rabbis, their level of operation has been significantly reduced. However, even in the best state, it may not be able to see through the invisible magic of Zero View.
“…… It's all forbidden dolls! ”
No matter how ingenious the automaton is, it cannot approach the image of a human or a living thing, and only a "forbidden puppet" or a "divine ingenuity" can do it with a false and real way. For example, if it weren't for the raw materials of the spell, her performance and appearance would have dropped a lot.
The existence of divine ingenuity is quite secretive, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know, let alone mass production, so these automaton dolls that are about to fake and real dogs can only be taboo dolls.
Zero even knew that these guys were made by Bronson using the bodies of children.
This kind of puppet is completely anti-the-counter to Loki's automaton doll Angel Zhi Zuò theory, which is closer to Night and Night, and is a taboo automaton that pursues proximity to creatures. (To be continued......)
