Water elemental beings can never drown in water, as they can even be said to be water itself, but the natural elemental core gives them life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And this is also true for Rogers, who has a replica artificial elemental core in his body.

Rogers stood in the center of his water elemental realm, completely immersed in the water, and the black-haired beautiful boy did not show any discomfort from not being able to breathe. Through the transparent film of water, he saw that in the middle of the air outside, the wolf girl who had defeated Silaire had been protected by the powerful red dragon in her arms.

This battle, they lost.

Rogers smiled, it was true that it had become his habit to maintain this kind but unpredictable smile at all times, but at the moment, he really didn't feel so unhappy and angry because of this defeat.

That girl may really be the one chosen by fate...... and those of them who were abandoned by fate early on, are completely living in two worlds.

Jealousy? No, that doesn't make sense. Hate the fate of making himself what he is now? No, he is not the same as his master.

That's right, Rogers never told anyone that he, Rogers, the most trusted and admired of the four man-made magicians created by Tafel, was actually not as loyal as he appeared on the surface in his heart.

Of course, this is not to say that Rogers has a rebellious heart towards Tafel, but that Rogers himself has always had a pursuit that is different from his master Tafel.

However, Tafel was too powerful, and as a "monster" "created" by Tafel, Rogers knew how deep and terrifying the man's magical skills and wisdom were, and he couldn't resist Tafel, or rather, he couldn't resist Tafel without ensuring that he and his pursuits weren't ruined.

So he resigned himself to his fate, he felt that it was not bad to obey the man, at least, although he had to do something dangerous under the man's orders that he did not want to do, but the abilities that Tafel had given him were enough to keep him alive. And because of the four man-made magicians, he is more human than Farran, more calm than Silaire, and more responsible than Leyson, which makes him the most effective subordinate of Tafel among the four, with this status, he doesn't have to worry about his master using him as an outcast for some time, and even, he can properly use the fact that he is valued in the eyes of his master Tafel to win some benefits for his pursuit.

However, just a few days ago, after witnessing and even participating in the unforgettable battle between his master Tafel and the two eccentric people he called "Surrogates", and witnessing the former Void Sword Saint Aaron, who was even more trusted by Tafel than himself, being wiped out of the world by those two terrible beings, Rogers' heart that had been silent was shaken again.

He admits that he did hate fate, which had transformed him from a gifted apprentice painter with a good teacher of great talent to a monster he now looked like a human on the outside, but didn't even know if he was a normal creature on the inside, after a series of experiences he couldn't quite remember and didn't quite want to remember. But that's all, he doesn't have the ambition of his master Tafel to subvert the fate line of any law, and to become an existence that transcends the law of origin...... He just wanted to live well in everything with the person he cherished, the red-haired girl he had seen for the first time since he became such a monster, and that was enough.

However, his master obviously will not allow his tools to immerse themselves in a peaceful life, and he will declare war on fate, on the most fundamental laws of this world.

Rogers didn't know what was going on with his master, Tafel, who was always trying to destroy the most fundamental thing in this world, but one thing he knew was that as long as Tafel didn't give up on his "great" goal, then he and Fran would still have to follow this man for the second time to face the two "surrogates" that night is not an enemy of the same level at all, and then, perhaps, like the old Aaron who has followed his master for decades, he will be directly waved by others, and the traces of his existence in this world will be erased.

Rogers didn't want to, he wanted to run away and run away with Farran, but he was afraid of Tafel, he knew that if they dared to do so, Tafel would never let them go, and when the time came, the two "Substitutes" would not come and stand up for him because they had betrayed Tafel.

And just when Rogers is confused about the uncertain future of himself and Fran, suddenly, he meets a girl...... Or rather, reacquaint myself with a girl.

Cheruth, the wolf girl who once had a relationship with each other in the time of the Loris Elemental Festival rebellion, the genius girl of Loris who almost made Fran, who had hidden her identity mixed in with a group of students at the time, forget the mission and have a heart of confrontation, her true identity is actually the only orphan of the Nolan clan who is outcast, and more importantly, she is actually the owner Tafel and another Nolan Grand Elder Wissinger, who can almost be said to be equal to Tafel in terms of strength and scheming, all speculate that it appeared in the fate line in order to prevent this incident"Child of Destiny".

In fact, Rogers didn't care what happened to the law fate line, and he didn't care what happened to the world, but the identity of Cheruth gave him an idea that he had never had before.

Since she is a "child of fate", then it means that this girl must be standing on the fate line of the law and a "substitute" On that side, although it seems that she has no direct hostile relationship with her master Tafel, but is the destined opponent of the Nolan Grand Elder Wissinger, if she can really defeat the Great Elder Wissinger to protect the law fate line will not be seriously damaged by Wissinger this time, then the next time the master Tafel wants to complete his great goal again after three years of exile, will this girl who is not like them and is favored by fate stand up again to fight with the master in order to defend the fate of the law？

In the face of this girl, Rogers thinks that he will have more possibilities to save his life for himself and Fran than in the face of the two "surrogates" with terrifying abilities, and if this girl can really defeat her master Tafel in the end, doesn't that mean that the two of them will be completely free from now on?

Of course, Rogers knew that all this was just wishful thinking on his part, and he knew very well that Tafel's strength was very good, at least in terms of the strength of this girl who would be beaten so badly even against Silaire, it seemed that she could not defeat Tafel at all, and maybe she might not even be able to overcome the hurdle of the Nolan Grand Elder Wissinger in front of her...... But, just before this battle, how could Silaire, who knew this girl better than him, think that this girl could not defeat him at all?

Looking at Silaire, who had been smiling with arrogance a few hours ago, and now had a face that seemed to have been beaten to rotten tomatoes, Rogers felt as if he could understand why something as illusory as Destiny would make a strong man like his master, Tafel, feel that he would have no chance of winning without giving his best.

Fate......

Rogers smiled, under the vigilant gaze of Cillus and Selman, he half-crouched down in the water elemental field, and suddenly two intertwined spirals of water suddenly wrapped around his hands, just like the various drill bits that Cillus had often seen on the earth at the engineering site in his previous life, Rogers used his hand to drill open the chest of Silaire, who was lying on the ground because his head had been blown out, and then put his hand in as if he was going to pull out Silaire's heart.

In mid-air, Chelus, who was shielded by Selman's claws, widened her eyes, and although she was not like those little girls who had never really seen the world, she screamed and fainted at the sight of such cruelty and inhumanity - her previous punch to Cilaire's head was proof of her immunity to such a thing - but Rogers' "performance" still caused a chill that spread down her spine and spread throughout her body.

The black-haired boy who was as beautiful as a girl actually made the act of digging out the heart of his companion's corpse with a smile as clean as if he were an art painting......

Soon, however, the wolf girl's attention was no longer drawn to Rogers' expression, but to the hand that Rogers had pulled out of Silaire's body and the wound on Silaire's chest that had been dug open by Rogers.

I saw that Rogers's hand was not a bloody heart or a piece of flesh or something full of eighteen forbidden hunting winds, but a dark cyan oval crystal about the size of a heart, and what was even more shocking was the scene displayed in the wound on Silaire's chest.

Maybe it's because Rogers has a little cleanliness fetish, or maybe Rogers did it on purpose, although bleeding was inevitable in the process of taking out the suspected heart crystal from Silaire's chest, but because it was in Rogers's water elemental realm, the blood and flesh foam did not spread everywhere like ordinary water, but were collected and precipitated to the ground at the first time. Thus, through the clean water elemental realm, even Cheruth in mid-air was able to see directly through Silaire's wounds the pale red crystals in his chest that did not look like blood vessels and muscle tissue at all.

Seeing that there are so many crystal structures buried inside Silaire's body that are not normal at all, if Chelus hadn't met a chestnut-haired girl three years ago and became close friends with each other, maybe she would have started to think about "this other world will also have a so-called magical version of biochemical transformation people" But now, Cheruth's eyes just widened, and her mind inevitably connected the poor creature who was lying on the ground with her chest gouged out, and the chestnut-haired girl Nanoha, who had met each other three years ago and had been by her side as a close friend ever since.

Is that...... Biological magic circuit?

After retrieving the precious Artificial Elemental Core from Silaire's corpse, Rogers stood up again and saw the wolf girl stunned in mid-air.

Since Nanoha was a "half-finished product" that had been drained of research and use value by Tafel before the completion of their four successful "works", Rogers was not aware of Nanoha's existence, and naturally would not have known that Cheruth had already known about the existence of such a thing as a biological magic channel. The black-haired boy only understood the wolf girl's surprise as a surprise at seeing something incomprehensible to ordinary people for the first time, and he spoke unhurriedly, and the sound clearly reached Cheruth's ears through the water elemental realm.

"Surprised, Miss Cheruth?"

From the Nolans, Rogers had long heard of the name of Cheruth.

"Hehe, I think you must be surprised, but you read that right, this is what the opponent you fought and defeated just now really looks like, and what I have in my hand is his 'heart'. ”

There was an unusual ebb and flow in the originally calm tone, whether it was Rogers' desire to intimidate or make Cheruth feel uncomfortable when she saw this strange scene, or whether Rogers' own mentality had changed somewhat when talking about the "bodies" of these artificial magicians, it was unclear.

"That's ......"

"Is that the Biological Magic Circuit?" was about to blurt out the question, but the moment Chelus opened her mouth, her mind was filled with the lifeless face of Nanoha, who had been used as the center of control of the city's magic circuit three years earlier, on the night of the Kells Rebellion - the chestnut-haired girl had no name at the time, only called Zero.

“...... What's that?" Cheruth changed her words, she didn't know if the other party knew about Nanoha's existence, and she wasn't sure if Nanoha was from the same person or the same place as these two people, but she didn't want to cause trouble for her friends because of her careless gaffe, "You guys...... What the hell is it?"

For a moment, the aura around Rogers' body became full of danger because of Cheruth's question, but soon, the water elemental realm calmed down again, and the black-haired boy looked as calm as before.

“...... We are man-made magicians," Rogers seemed pleased with the effect, looking at Cheruth, who looked shocked by his words, "I know this must be an answer that you can't understand, but that's all I can tell you...... Miss Cheruth, there's never a shortage of things in this world that you can't understand, isn't it?"

After speaking, without waiting for Cheruth to reply, Rogers suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture of retraction, and then the water elemental field around the black-haired boy's body suddenly contracted, and in just a second, it turned into an ellipsoidal shape that only existed around Rogers's body and wrapped him, as if it was no different from an ordinary water system defense barrier.

"Alright, that's the end of the communication between the winners and the losers, the mission has failed, and there has been a loss of manpower, and I now have to go back to our master to confess. Miss Cheruth, I wish you the best of luck in Solan Holy City. (To be continued.) )
