In China, the number of Russians is very small and mainly concentrated in Xinjiang and the three northeastern provinces near the Sino-Russian border, but Lilia's family is a relatively rare exception - Qinghai Province itself did not welcome many Russians during the period of a few large-scale Russians, let alone Tokushima City, where there are only a handful of Russian-American families who have settled in this city, and Lilia's family is one of them, and it is still the richest of the few Russians here!

There is no other reason: Lilia was born into a family of Sergei, a prominent family among the Moscow nobility during the period when the Tsar still ruled Russia.

Although the Sergei family is inconspicuous among many Russian aristocratic families, it is not famous in historical records, and there are not even too many records, but at that time, no matter how unknown the Sergei family was, no one would dare to ignore it and provoke it, but treated it respectfully.

Although among them there are nobles who are nobles, Even if it is low-key and unassuming, it cannot ignore the reasons for its existence, but the main and most important reason could not be simpler: at that time, the Sergei family controlled almost one-third of the grain business and one-fifth of the import and export trade of the entire Russian Empire, and its own bloodline was also accurately recorded from the time of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, so although the Sergei family was different from other Russian aristocratic families, there were no people with long eyes and no brains who dared to trouble them.

When the Tsar was still in power, the Sergei family had no worries about life, but when the February Revolution began and the storm of the October Revolution swept across Russia, the Sergei family, realizing this unprecedented misfortune, immediately packed up their belongings, followed the wave of migration and fleeing, and moved their family into the territory of the Republic of China, and came to Qinghai Province from side to side, and settled in Tokushima City, a city with a majority of German origin.

As a politically exiled family of Tsarist Russian nobility. Although the Sergei family lost most of their property in order to escape safely as soon as possible, after all, everyone was saved, and this is the most important thing. Therefore, after a few years of stable life, the Sergei family still did their old business: grain business and import and export trade.

At that time, the Republic of China was generally very polite to foreigners, and even the Germans who had lived here for a long time would be treated favorably to a certain extent, so the Sergei family's business was smooth sailing. It's just that they didn't have so many conveniences and privileges in Tsarist Russia, but it wasn't bad, in the more than 20 years before the establishment of New China, the Sergei family could be said to be one of several wealthy merchant families in Tokushima City and even Qinghai Province, except for some losses suffered by the Japanese occupation forces during the War of Resistance Against Japan, they did not experience too many risks.

However, after the establishment of New China, the Sergei family, like the vast majority of local native German families, has also suffered from the impact of many movements in the past few decades - don't forget that the Sergei family was originally a political exiled Tsarist Russian aristocratic family, and probably most of the German families who were also persecuted will have many of them wronged. But the Sergei family is really not wronged in terms of identity alone, but although the Sergei family is not liked when they do business, they don't have many so-called public grievances, which is why they are not famous but very obscure.

After several famous historical catastrophes, the morale of the Sergei family, which was doing business, was greatly damaged, and the number of originally large family members also plummeted, becoming the current except for Lilia. Only his parents and grandparents were in the same situation as Feng Longde's family: at that time, the Feng Longde family, who had a dual identity of the local Catholic Church background and the local large landowners, also suffered several times in those cursed decades. In terms of situation alone, these two families can be said to be sympathetic.

After the reform and opening up, the Sergei family, which had managed to survive those decades, once again began to do their old job, which can be said to be indomitable, but this time God seemed to smile at them, and in the past 30 years, the Sergei family has regained a lot of wealth - in recent years, Russia has exported large quantities of grain to China and other neighboring countries. The Sergei family, which has the advantage of identity and the ability to do business, has made a lot of benefits from this channel, plus they also pay attention to other import and export trade, so the current Sergei family does not dare to say that they can have amazing wealth and power as they did in the Tsarist period, but at least they can be regarded as excellent entrepreneurs, otherwise how can they reapply for their original Russian citizenship so smoothly.

Born in this environment. Lilia's life has always been rich and happy since she was a child - she has parents and grandparents who love her, her family does not worry about food and clothing, her living environment is good, and she can go abroad to Russia from time to time to play

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Lilia's ability to transform into a Fire Skull rider, does it?

However, the answer is: the reason why Lilia was able to transform into a skeleton supported by fire is precisely because of her family, or because of the long history of the family.

The Sergei family has a long history, which means that their history is also very long, which means that the family must have experienced a lot of things, and in the long history, the Sergei family has gradually become low-key and almost unknown because of the special thing they have obtained.

Such a special thing is really just a book, a rather old parchment.

In the era before the introduction of Chinese papermaking and printing technology to Europe and its large-scale popularization, the most common paper used by Europeans was the hard-won parchment, and most of the books made of parchment were used to copy the Bible and other religious texts, which shows how precious a parchment is, but the parchment owned by the Sergei family is neither the Bible and other religious texts, nor is it used to record poetry, let alone record family history, but a magic book.

That's right, this parchment book is a true magic book. It's the same model as Pache and Alice.

Perhaps most people will misunderstand the magic book as a magic book, or even confuse the two, but anyone who knows a little bit about magic knows very well that the difference between the two is big: a magic book is just an ordinary book that records the theory and knowledge of magic, just like a textbook in the hands of a student, and has no special power or use. Who has ever seen a book with a lot of knowledge about firearms that can shoot bullets? The answer is definitely no, and magic books are like that.

In addition to sealing and stimulating magic, the magic book can also play a role in helping the caster cast magic faster and more steadily - in other words, the whole function of the magic book is equivalent to the most commonly used staff of magicians, and it is a complete magic prop.

The Sergei family first got this book when they got it during the Grand Duchy of Moscow, when there were many wizards, magicians, magicians and witches wandering around. This is especially true in the Far East, so the Sergei family occasionally got this magic book from a passing magician, and also got the guidance of this magician: the reason why the magician guided the Sergei family to use and gave this magic book was because the Sergei family at that time inadvertently concealed his whereabouts, so as to avoid the inquisitors of the inquisition who had been chasing him. Crusader knights and demon hunters, that's why the magician was so eager to repay the Sergei family, who was kept in the dark until the magician was gone for quite some time

Although he has the ability to use the magic book. But the Sergei family did not dare to abuse it in the slightest, but hid it. It is only used once in a while as a last resort: jokes, whether it is Catholicism, Protestantism or Orthodox Christianity, everyone has always resolutely suppressed these things, and put all those involved to death, and the Sergei family, even the nobles, did not dare to be labeled as heretics and cultists, so they naturally kept it safely. All the energy is focused on maintaining the family's continuity and livelihood.

With the passage of time, by the beginning of the twentieth century, the Sergei family had already forgotten almost everything about this magic book, and when they were in political exile in China, they still remembered that the reason why they brought it with them was just that it was an old object handed down by the family from generation to generation, which was more commemorative. As for what is written in it and what it does, they have long regarded it as nonsense, and they have not noticed its real and terrible effect.

The Sergei family could forget the knowledge of the Magic Book and treat it as a myth of absurdity, which is exactly what their ancestors wanted. The ancestors of the Sergei family knew very well from the beginning that this forbidden thing and power were not under their control as ordinary human beings, but they were ruthless to destroy or throw away this precious magic book, so they could only consciously and intuitively hide the true situation about the magic book and how to use it: in this way, the descendants who thought that this was the absurd legend of the family would no longer frequently use the magic book and get into trouble, and the hidden truth about the magic book and how to use it would also allow future generations to at least have an unexpected way to deal with it at a critical momentIn addition, even in terms of commemorative value, the magic guide book is also an ancient item with a great inheritance, at least it is still preserved after so many years have passed, which shows that it will play its due role at the right time.

To sum up, this parchment book was kept by the Sergei family from generation to generation, but it was no longer regarded as a real magic book but only an old book with historical value and commemorative significance, which has been properly preserved, and when Lilia was born, the Sergei family kept it in their basement with another book with corresponding annotations and application methods - as for the latter book, the Sergei family did not take it too seriously, at best it was an interesting storybook, Later, it was regarded as the enlightenment reading of little Lilia who had just returned to speak and knew simple Chinese characters and Russian, which was no longer able to complain about this free and easy nature, and it can be said that the foreshadowing that Lilia would get into trouble because of that magic book was buried from the root.

The young Lilia can be said that the earliest enlightenment books are not picture books, villain books or fairy tale books read by ordinary children, but this one tells in Russian how to use magic books to cast magic. The way of sealing and summoning, as well as the corresponding annotations and translated books, made her have a strong interest in the magic book that her family thought was pure nonsense since she was a child, and when she was a child, she liked to jump up and down and run around, so when she was a primary school student, she touched the basement and found this magic book in a mess of things.

Little Lilia who just got the magic guide book was just curious about what was written on it at most, and almost all the words in the magic guide book were rune script, she couldn't understand it at that time, and she thought it was troublesome to compare the two books with each other, so it wasn't until Lilia became a junior high school student that she really began to carefully study the content of this magic book and its feasibility.

I have to say that Lilia's family really doesn't take this magic book seriously, but after all, this kind of thing is either swaggering or reading as a fairy tale book in the eyes of ordinary people with normal three views, who would have thought that this world is really magical

Lilia can be said to be completely Russian, which can be seen from her characteristics of being more nervous than men: if it were someone else, she would basically consider the feasibility or consequences or something, so as not to put herself in it; Then, Lilia became what she is now, a special human who can transform into a fire skeleton and manipulate the flames to attack and attach to objects as she wishes, and continues to this day.
