"Delivered to the door yourself? Araya, is this some kind of outdated joke? ”

Magicians are a bunch of selfish creatures, Cornelius Aruba is the best among them, when they need chess pieces the most, someone takes the initiative to send them to the door, or the substitute of the Templar Church, if it weren't for the fact that Araya Zonglian has no reason to attack him, Aruba would have thought that this is some kind of evil trap.

"That's the way it is, although I also have doubts, after meeting him, I choose to trust the man."

In the pursuit of the prototype of the soul technology, Araya Zonglian also exercised a superhuman gaze, although it did not reach the level of the magic eye, but this ability itself is by no means inferior to it.

In a short period of contact, Araya Zonglian can understand the essence of a person, so as to obtain the information of the other party's origin, and it is this ability that allows him to find a chess piece suitable for the awakening origin in Guanbuzi City.

The moment she saw that man, she was convinced.

The essence of that priest was hopelessly empty, a mentally deficient man, but he maintained his personality under the tempering of faith.

There can be no mistake, that man is a seeker.

However, unlike himself, who has seen all the disasters in the world and finally intends to seek salvation with vain obsessions in pain and obsession, that man has never felt happiness since he was a child, and has no purpose or belief that it is worth pursuing, so he hones his body with a masochistic purpose, hoping to get a happy explanation.

The two of them are similar, but opposite, but they are two poles in the same direction.

The other party did have some kind of other purpose, and he didn't even intend to hide it, but as long as there was that empty nature, Ayaya Zonglian was not afraid of the other party's backlash.

Aruba breathed a sigh of relief, but his furrowed brow still didn't let go.

"I trust your vision, but it's not enough."

"I know, then, is that enough for you to trust? He made me awaken to his origins. ”

The magician in red subconsciously clenched his staff, then nodded.

"In that case, it must be trustworthy, anyway, no matter what purpose that guy has, he will be completely devoured by the origin."

No one can fight against the direction that they were born with, and the same is true for magicians, after the awakening of the origin, no matter how tough the personality is, it will be directly swallowed by the instinct in the countless reincarnations.

Even magicians who are reluctant to give up the power of the origin will use it to the maximum extent possible, rather than awakening it.

Emiya Kiritsugu's Origin Bullet is a clear example of this.

Even if it is the same as the Araya Zonglian, he himself is only because of the particularity of his origin, so his current personality has not deviated after being assimilated.

Akuya Zonglian agreed with this statement and said in a deep voice.

"No matter what kind of tenacious faith it is, the starting line is the same on the path of fighting the origin, no one can deny his own nature, although after the awakening of the origin, he still holds his current personality, but it is only an afterimage."

The overwriting of the current personality by the origin is not achieved overnight, but is a gradual process, and it is by using her static nature that she can continue her personality existence.

And how long this personality can be maintained depends on the inhibition of the acquired personality.

Instinct is far more terrible than medicine, beyond physical and mental, irresistible temptation, that priest has indeed practiced penance before, but he has also broken the vows, as long as he has experienced the pleasure of obeying instinct once, there is no turning back.

Could it be that there are people who have denied their own nature since they were children, and have persisted for decades, seeing it as an existence that must be restrained and pursuing salvation above the origin?

What's more, it's such a special origin.

The origin of that priest brings with it a congenital defect, something of "taboo" origin, whether born as a man, a beast or a plant, will become an existence that deviates from the morality of the group, and the priest is the same, he is a being of 'nature and evil', and even if the personality intends to oppose this nature, instinct will stop him.

In this world, if you don't obey your instincts, you will never be happy, and this is an iron rule written in the world.

"So, what abilities does his origin give him?"

Under the steady tone of the Araya Zonglian, Aruba also asked with some curiosity.

The price of awakening the origin is of course heavy, but it will also bring about an effect like a superpower, and if there is a special existence like Araya Zonglian, this ability can even be brought into full play with half the effort.

"I don't know, his origin is destined to make him crave evil and pleasure, plus he is originally a first-class agent, I judge that it will be a very dangerous existence, so I didn't contact it."

"Huh? As a martial arts faction, you have actually become like this, it seems that you really take this path very seriously, so it's okay for me to contact you for you, right? ”

Although he may not be able to compare with Araya Zonglian in terms of combat effectiveness, Aruba still sneered at the other party, not that he looked down on Araya Zonglian, but that he was by nature.

As if saying such things would prove that he was superior to Ayaya Zonglian in this regard.

What's more, even if he was originally a substitute, after awakening the origin, it was impossible for him to immediately have the combat power to kill a first-class magician like him, let alone just touch it.

"If you really want to, please take care of yourself, he's downstairs in the Wujo Building."

"Where's the name?"

"Qili."

Chewing on the name full of prayers, Araya Zonglian paused.

"His name is Yan Feng Qili."

"Got it, there's nothing unusual about Aozaki Orange, right?"

Aruba nodded clearly, not taking the request of the Araya Zonglian to heart at all, but asked for another name that was in his heart.

It was this name that made him come to Guanbuzi City to help Huangye Zonglian complete the plan at the expense of bringing his own dry food, so as to kill the woman in exchange for his help.

- Only in this way can he prove his own superiority.

"An unknown presence came to her workshop, it was supposed to be a guest, and she left after a short contact, which gave me the feeling of being dangerous and ......"

Hearing the other party ask that question that must be asked every day as he thought, a trace of imperceptible pity flashed in the eyes of Araya Zonglian, and he only said half of the truth.

"We don't necessarily have to engage with them, they haven't been fully involved in our plans, and the origin is not clear."

Sure enough, after hearing the seemingly well-meaning admonition, Aruba seemed to be offended by something.

"Tell me his image, the customer who came to her died like this, it's enough to make Aozaki Orange unhappy, as long as there is this, it's worth it for me to do this, not to mention ......"

Aruba's face changed completely, and even his voice trembled with anger.

"Who do you think I am, tell me his image!"

If that's the case, then why don't you just go and fight Takako Aosaki?

Araya Zonglian's thoughts began to scatter.

—Cornelius Aruba.

This is also the name that is also famous in the clock tower, the man with the title of Red Magician, who was born with everything as an old friend of Orange Aozaki and Soren Araya at the Magic Society of London.

Inherited from the aristocratic family of the Roman Republican era, there have been many well-known politicians, including the dictator Sulla, and it is not much more famous than the monarchical family.

In the orthodox magic inheritance, thousands of years of history are enough to make magic engraving qualitatively change, and his own qualifications are also first-class, and the magic circuit is impeccable in both quality and quantity.

But he is by no means a pure theorist, he was the executor of the Magic Association when he was young, and he participated in the hunt for the seal designation many times, and he was involved in the death of Emiya Kiritsugu's father.

With his first-class strength, illustrious family background, and excellent resume, he has been booked as the second abbot of the Abbey of [Schuppenheim], the central organization of the Clock Tower.

If I had to use an analogy, he was Kenneth, who was not so talented.

And such an existence has an unrelieved hatred for Aozaki oranges.

Because his research goals are similar to those of Orange, he specializes in Rune Runes and puppet making, but the results of his research at the time of almost forty years were easily surpassed by Aozaki Orange.

Not only that, but Aozaki Orange, who revolutionized these two technical fields, also had a rather demeaning evaluation of him, which inevitably affected his reputation, and the Magic Association naturally lowered his evaluation.

But the most infuriating thing is that he can't even refute the matter itself, Aruba himself is indeed a first-class magician, but compared to Aozaki Orange, he is not even qualified to compete in Taiwan.

After all, for a magician whose research results are combat effectiveness, in the field he is good at, Aozaki Orange is the absolute leader, no matter what method is used to fight it, it will be easily cracked and then killed.

Because of this, he has always been selfish, so he brought his own dry food to help Araya Zonglian, at the cost of letting the other party help him and take the life of Aozaki Orange.

As long as it can disgust Aozaki oranges, Aruba is willing to do anything.

Vulgar.

Looking at Aruba, who was a little incoherent in front of him, Araya Zonglian gave an evaluation again.

Even after ten years, the other party has not changed anything, regretting his life when he encounters big things, forgetting his righteousness when he sees small profits, although he has the typical three views of a magician, but the other party is essentially just a politician who is happy with great achievements.

It's just that the venue for the performance has changed from society to a magic association.

He has no interest in the roots, is pompous and arrogant, and will engage in annoying chases like hyenas for the sake of profit and fame, which is why he is obviously stronger than him and Aozaki Orange in terms of congenital conditions, but ten years later, Aruba has become the weakest one.

However, as a pawn, it is barely enough.

The two rituals had already been contacted, and he had to start planning immediately, and for that, he had to buy time for the final construction of the barrier, and Aruba was the best choice.

Anyway, the other party will die sooner or later, so it's better to exert a little residual heat for yourself, even if it's just to delay a little time, and block the footsteps of that existence.

It would have been easy for that being to kill itself, but since it was not dead yet, and it was impossible to stop longing for the path of the root, it was necessary to look for every opportunity that could be exploited.

It's like when facing a bear, you don't need to run past the bear itself, you just need to run past your companions to buy a little more time to survive.

That existence didn't have the highest priority for his own killing intent, and knowing this was enough to make Ayaya Zonglian start struggling.

It is impossible for him to stop the path to the root, but there is nothing he can do.

So, all he could do now was to distract the king from a flattering courtier offering a pleasing jeown.

After giving Aruba a satisfactory answer, looking at the back of the other party's departure, Araya Zongren also fell into silence again, looking at the empty scenery in front of him, and completely devoting his mind to the construction of the enchantment.
