Chapter 3 The Boy and the Priest Who Stayed in the Night
Inside a restaurant on the Austrian border
At a dinner table, an Asian teenager was holding a thick guidebook or something, and he began to flip through it quickly, making people a little worried about whether he was looking at the illustrations at random or really couldn't read the text. The boy only had half a glass of mixed tropical juice and a handful of dessert at his desk, so he should have taken a break here, right?
The boy was looking through what was supposed to be the most complete guidebook on the market, occasionally swiping his fingertips over descriptions of certain places, and memorizing them in his mind. He is comparing the information he obtained some time ago with the current geography of the place.
As far as he knows, there are also several magic associations in Austria, although the scale is not large, but it still has a certain historical heritage, which is quite in line with Chen's requirements. But how to get in is a bit of a headache for Chen, his current fake identity is just an ordinary person, and it is difficult to get in touch with anything related to magic for no reason.
Forcibly breaking into a certain magic association?Although this act may allow Tatsu to obtain something temporarily, such a blatant attraction of hatred is undoubtedly a mindless act of death for the newcomer Tatsu.
"Or when the strength is fully restored, let's think about killing gods, it is estimated that it will be much more convenient to have the identity of a god killer. Chen, temporarily suppressed the troubles in his heart, and looked seriously at the map that gave him a little headache.
Maybe it's because I'm used to replacing my sense of direction with perception.,I feel a big head for some of the marks on the map.。
"Hmm...... It's disgusting...... Let's drive over there......", Tatsumi muttered, and was about to put away the guide and prepare to settle the meal in front of him, when suddenly two different reactions appeared in his perception.
Magical reaction, although Chen has not been exposed to the real magic theory of this world, and he doesn't know the correctness of his guess, but in terms of the power system of this world alone, the only ones who can cause his perceptual reaction are those magicians.
"Sure enough, it's the place where the magic is reached, and you can feel dozens of people who have abnormal reactions along the way......," Tatsumi sighed slightly, but saw a pair of young women with their daughters walking from behind them. And the magic reaction that Tatsu sensed also came from these two people.
"Hey, isn't this the girl I saw on the street? Tatsumi glanced slightly, and the little girl in the aisle with a silver single ponytail was holding the hand of the woman next to her, looking very happy.
"Have you started practicing magic at such a young age...... Chen sighed slightly, and no longer paid attention to these things, for him at this time, finding the right direction was the most important thing.
But the girl's face seemed familiar...... No, I should have seen it for the first time, ......", Tatsu thought about it carefully, but still couldn't find an accurate impression from his scattered memories, and finally gave up.
This is the second encounter between a young girl and a teenager.
Diana and the Silver Maiden at the dinner table
"Teacher, I just saw an interesting person. The girl who was cutting the steak tilted her head.
"What kind of person?", the older woman asked with some interest, although she felt that the girl should just meet some strangely dressed people, but the tolerance of being an elder still allowed her to sit quietly and listen.
"Well...... He's a big Asian brother, yes, maybe he's of mixed Eurasian descent, but he looks like an Asian face, but he's so fair-skinned. The most important thing is that pair of eyes are strange?", the girl said, pointing her fingers.
"Huh, eyes...... Shouldn't MONOCULUS......? I didn't feel any strong magical reaction in the vicinity, ah......," Diana thought to herself, a little confused.
"Lily, is he a magician too?", Diana asked anyway, for security reasons.
"No, there is no fluctuation of mana from him......," replied the girl named Lily.
"Then why do you care so much?", Diana asked casually with a slight sigh of relief.
"Because it's so beautiful. Lily's eyes lit up with curiosity, and she muttered in a childish voice.
"Well...... All right...... Let's eat first, and we're going to visit a magician later?", Diana ordered, and then looked at the well-behaved and obedient girl with a gentle smile on her face.
............
On a road a few kilometers away
The Asian teenager was looking at the map in his hand and a certain instrument in front of the driver's seat with a distressed face.,Long sigh and said:"Even if there is a satellite map, it's not convenient enough.,It's much more convenient if it was a former school city.。 There's something like a holographic pointing map, so you don't have to worry about that...... Forget it, there is still no way to make up for this gap in civilization. The young man smiled wryly, then turned the steering wheel and followed a certain road slowly.
Three hours later
"I remember...... It seems like it's been here twice...... Well, that castle is still there......", the young man was holding his forehead, looking at the map in his hand that was about to be crumped, thinking about whether he would have to hire a tour guide next time he came out.
"Tsk...... Another trouble is that the car is out of gas. The boy complained helplessly, looking at the cars that had been turned off and were now just a bunch of cars with iron shelves. The nearest petrol station is still far away, and although you can tow your car there, it is a waste of time.
"Sure enough, walking is the most useful thing......," the boy muttered, tossing the already crummed map into the trash, intending to try to use his own intuition to find the direction of the next town.
In the evening, on a country road illuminated by the setting sun, a teenager of Asian descent who looked like a tourist was looking down on a nearby town. Unwilling to worry about the map and directions anymore, he relied entirely on his instincts to find a small town in the direction of the road.
Although it was close to the road, it actually took him a lot of time to walk in, and it was already time for ordinary people to eat. Of course, depending on the teenager's current body, eating and drinking is just a habit and pastime. However, if he can find a place to rest, the boy will still feel happy.
The buildings here are not made of reinforced concrete like the teenagers in the city, but the original architectural atmosphere left over from ancient times. The mottled bricks and stones can be felt through countless changes, especially the church of a cross in the middle of the town, which is a little dilapidated, but you can still see the glory of the past.
"Well...... If you find a priest here to spend the night, it should be no problem, right?", the young man thought about the possibility of such a thing, and carefully observed the scenery here step by step along the ancient stone path. Since he planned to come out again tomorrow, he didn't need to make too hasty moves, and even if he spent some time here to feel the atmosphere of ancient Europe, there would be no hindrance.
Perhaps because the townspeople had already finished eating, there was no one to be seen on the streets at this time. However, what made the boy care was that from the moment he stepped here, he vaguely felt some strange existence, but when he felt it carefully, he couldn't clearly distinguish it.
"Could it be that someone has set up some kind of magic or enchantment here......? There is no fluctuation of mana in perception. Although the boy was a little skeptical, he did not delve into it.
Maybe I'm a little nervous during this time, right? I just came to this world, and I'm always a little uncomfortable...... No matter how many times you come, will you have such an adverse reaction?" The boy thought as if laughing at himself, and walked step by step towards the church in the middle of the town.
As he approached the church, the boy faintly heard the chanting and prayers coming from between the cracks in the door.
"Huh...... Is it a corporate prayer? Then let's bother the priest later. The boy withdrew his outstretched hand and walked around the church, waiting for a long time before he saw the villagers who had participated in the prayer come out.
But the boy soon realized that something was not quite right.
The villagers who came out of the church, all with gentle smiles on their faces, walked out of the church door in unison, the whole process neat and powerful, like trained soldiers. And this situation is not only born in the body of those adult villagers, but even children in their teens have the same expression.
The villagers walking on the road were mixed with parts of the Bible in their communication with each other, and their demeanors were extremely peaceful, and the atmosphere seemed too gentle, which made the boy feel more and more wrong.
"Fanatical religiosity...... No, it can't be all such believers in a village...... If it's one or two, it's still ...... So many fanatics ......", the young man leaned against the cold stone wall of the church, quietly looking at the villagers, his fingers tapping on the masonry, as if thinking about something.
"Young man, you are not from this place, but you have come to observe the glory of our Lord?", a man's gentle voice sounded in his ears, although the language was a little uncomfortable, but he could feel his sincere emotions.
"No, it's just that there is no place to rest at night, may I ask the priest if there is a busy room here?", the young man felt a strong sense of strangeness from the priest's body, but he couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of magic power, which made him a little confused, but the caution from his heart still made him pay attention.
He noticed that the priest looked at a cross on his chest a little, as if surprised, but said nothing.
"I see, there are a few spare rooms here, and if you don't mind, you can rest there for a while. The priest's words came again, but by this time the old mixed tone had disappeared, and he was speaking a little more normally.
"Thank you. The boy looked at the dwelling pointed out by the priest, and when he thanked him positively, he saw the priest's face.
Although he could not be regarded as handsome and masculine, the priest's face radiated a dazzling brilliance, and he looked mysterious and gentle, and even those who saw him for the first time would not have any resistance.
"Something is not right, this priest ......," muttered the boy as he walked alone to his quarters.
