Chapter 13: Aozaki Orange
Well, it's a bit embarrassing.
Chen Qi, who confirmed that he was out of the range of Julius's tracking and the intuitive alarm was disarmed, pinned the pistol back to the back of his coat, and although he lost the rifle in the guitar case, he did not have an annoyed or frustrated expression of loss
The rifle obtained by accident was lost because of the same accident, during which a drink and a peck were the laws that all things follow, and he retreated with his whole body, and the little guy in his arms was not injured, which was a harvest worth happy in itself.
Compared with these, what made Chen Qi more concerned was the reason for the other party's move.
There are no coincidences in the world of magicians, let alone such actions with an extremely clear purpose.
Chen Qi usually doesn't make grudges, not to mention that he will provoke a causal relationship of the level of Julius, so there is only one reason.
"Who is involved in that incident?"
The sudden battle is also part of the intelligence gathering, and finally throwing the rifle away, Chen Qi not only diverts Julius's attention and makes him stop the chase, but also further temptation, and the result is not surprising.
A ruthless character like Julius, who is terrifying and good at fighting, is also one of the few magicians.
And is he really a magician.
The throwing weapon in the shape of a cross and the silver chain that shimmers mysteriously around the waist look more like the style of the Templar Church.
"If you go to that address now, there's a chance you'll bump into it again."
Reason made Chen Qi give up his original destination, he didn't want to meet this unknown master again, although he still has the hole cards not out, there is a possibility of getting out, but no one will have nothing to go to the tiger to turn around twice.
For now, avoiding is the best policy.
Well, I seem to have forgotten something?
Chen Qi frowned very seriously, feeling that he had forgotten some kind of important question related to life, but before he could figure it out, his face was licked by the folded ear cat, and the warm cat tongue made him shiver, and he lowered his head to find that the cat was looking at him curiously.
"Meow~"
"You guy, forget it."
Interrupted his train of thought, Chen Qi has no next step to consider for the time being, it is quite risky to go home, let's take a turn outside first, although London in winter is dark and oppressive, but there is also a scenery worth seeing, well, there should be.
Chen Qi, who thought that the situation could not be worse at this time, and was interested in playing because of this, did not notice that his empty wallet was already poor enough to start drinking the northwest wind.
If the wallet had a spirit, then it would definitely cry out loud and accuse Chen Qi of the fact that he couldn't manage money.
Already, there is no money at all!
It's gone!
……
London Heathrow International Airport.
Pulling a pale black lady's suitcase, Aozaki Orange stepped down the plane escalator from Japan to London, her sharp eyes looking at this land that was completely alien to her.
It's not that he's afraid, the magician is only curious about the unknown, not to mention the orange of Aozaki, who has been cultivated as a 'magic egg' since childhood.
But since it is not fear, then where does this restless feeling in my heart come from at this moment?
"Huh."
With a long exhale, turning into a white mist in the icy wind, Aozaki Orange smiled meaninglessly, and the emotion in her eyes was deposited in the deepest depths, brewing a searing and sticky emotion.
She took out a big brother from her waist bag, pressed the number and put it to her ear, and waited quietly for it to be connected.
On the other side, Yoko, who was thinking about how to get Chen Qi's information at what price and at what price, and received help from the Mujik family in this matter, suddenly looked slight, and the look behind the lens flashed a touch of embarrassment.
I completely forgot about it.
"Sorry, take the phone."
Also took out a big brother from the lady's bag, Yoko walked to the side where there was no one, and then pressed the answer button, and an intellectual and cold girl's voice came from the ear: "I've arrived." ”
Naturally, the other end of the phone is Aozaki Orange.
As one of the few friends of this girl who has high hopes in the magic world, Yoko has a lot to do with her.
"I'm going to pick you up?" There was a little hesitation in the words, the matter in front of Yoko has not been dealt with yet, but recently there has been an accident in the Aozaki family, and the state of the orange makes her very worried, and the Mujik family has run away The monk can't run away from the temple, so he is not in a hurry at this time.
"No, just lend me some more money, if you want to complete the procedures for enrollment in a short period of time, it is very difficult to have no money."
Dragging a suitcase and strolling through the airport hall, Aozaki Orange, who undoubtedly showed her youth and beauty, took the big brother past the foreigners with amazing eyes, and walked straight towards the exit of the airport hall, with a slightly warm arc hanging on the corner of her mouth.
It's just that what she said can't be found to match her own temperament.
Obviously, her facial features are delicate like an Oriental puppet, and she graduated from the most demanding girls' school, but she can make Yoko on the other end of the phone cry and laugh, and she can borrow money so justifiably.
The lady who has been bound by the rules for a long time has finally escaped the shackles of expectation.
Instead, there is another obsession that binds the mind.
The path of the devil.
Yoko, who had a sigh in her eyes, also remembered the land where she was born, and it was at that time that she met Orange, and it had been about eight years in the blink of an eye.
When Deacon was a child, he told himself that he wanted to marry Orange as his wife, and then he was beaten up by Orange's sister.
It's just that things are wrong, Deacon has left him, and Orange has turned against her sister, and the reality is really lamentable.
"How much to borrow."
It was only a moment of sadness and sadness, and Yoko's voice did not change, talking and laughing with oranges, obviously not caring much about money.
The cold wind blew the soft hem of the orange skirt, revealing her calves wrapped in thick stockings, and her slender ankles wrapped in cowhide boots, with a bit of a high school girl that had not yet faded, and no one could tell that she was actually a magician who had come from Japan alone to study in the clock tower.
Because I'm so young.
Outside the airport lobby, he summoned an Austin company taxi-Austin FX4, Orange threw the suitcase into the spare part, and responded after a little thought: "Two hundred thousand pounds, is there any?" ”
"Yes." Yoko responded in the affirmative, it was not difficult for her to come up with 200,000 pounds for the head of the family, but the reason for borrowing money was friendship, but the specific time and interest to repay the debt were on a case-by-case basis.
Aozaki Orange understood this, she didn't embarrass Yoko, leaned back on the seat and smiled: "The loan period is one year, and it will be repaid three times." ”
There is no problem with this, Yoko also smiled, admiring the high confidence that Orange still retains even if he is temporarily disappointed: "In this case, I won't go over to pick you up, there is something else here, I will let people transfer the money to your account." ”
The Magic Society has a special channel in the bank for processing transfers between magicians, which is very convenient and fast.
Something?
Aozaki Orange was a little surprised, but she didn't ask anything, but pressed the hang up button of the call and began to look at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
Magicians do not need to pay attention to the private affairs of others, because they often involve the secrets of the principles of magic, many things that are not wanted to be seen, and the independent mind of each magician who does not want to be overly spied on by others.
If there is something that you can help and is judged to be necessary by Yoko, then there will naturally be a corresponding magic deal, and after confirming the reward, you will interfere within the rules and will not involve each other's personal relationships.
The so-called magician is such an existence, unable to give up himself, longing for happiness, unable to adapt to ordinary people in the non-human circle, undoubtedly unsuitable to be a magician.
But why did Grandpa choose you, Aoko?
Looking at herself reflected in the car window with obscure eyes, Aozaki Orange began to feel disgusted with everything about the black-haired girl in the mirror.
After a little recuperation, she noticed that the taxi had not started for a long time, and then she remembered that she had not mentioned the goal, and after reining in her emotions, Aozaki Orange whispered: "Sorry, I'm going to London City." ”
Not noticing that the eyes of the driver in front of the back of the seat were dim, and after receiving a slightly sluggish response from the other party, Aozaki Orange fell into planning and thinking about the future again, and her mind was completely unfocused on the surrounding environment.
The corners of the driver's mouth pulled into a stiff and astringent arc, and his hands and feet drove the taxi out of the airport with Aosaki oranges.
Head in the direction of the city of London.
