Although the ultimate beauty is mysterious, in Li Xiang's opinion, it is a super enhanced version of charm magic.
And it’s the kind that doesn’t require magic power.
It is somewhat similar to Diarmuid Audi, a spearman servant who appeared in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
He is the chief of the Fiona Knights in Celtic mythology and is known as a glorious figure.
The tear mole on the face carries the charm of magic power, which can attract the opposite sex all the time.
Although the Golden Princess and the Silver Princess are extremely beautiful, they are far from reaching their roots.
If they really reach the root, all the magicians at the banquet should worship them.
What Li Xiang was puzzled about was that he didn't have any influence.
No reaction at all.
This is completely unscientific.
With his strength, it is impossible to resist the magic of the two princesses.
[You have been blessed by Himeji Landlord God, your body has changed, and new talents have been generated.]
[Four Gods and Earth Phases (Level A): You have gained the effect of increasing your resistance to weakened state skills, and can resist the charm of the mind.]
"...?"
Li Xiang raised a question mark.
If he remembered correctly, the so-called landlord god of Himeji was Xingbu Hime.
An auxiliary servant who is often ridiculed in FGO games.
This is not the point, the point is where this talent comes from.
Just like the protection of the lake, it seems to have been forcibly blocked.
Am I really the son of destiny?
Li Xiang couldn't help but think.
"I am Tiadra, who inherits the title of Golden Princess."
"I am Estella, who inherits the title of Silver Princess."
The two princesses put on their veils after introducing themselves to their families.
The magicians in the hall finally lost their influence.
Lenis took a deep breath.
She was one of the first people to recover.
As the heir of the El-Melloi family, she was able to avoid being swallowed up in the dangerous clock tower because of her firm will.
She looked at the people around her.
As she expected, Astarte had no influence at all.
From the day they met, she had never found out the details of this woman.
But Li Xiang was not affected, which surprised her.
It seems that it is not unreasonable for Astarte to value him so much.
Lenis patted Gray on the shoulder to wake her up.
"That's great, thanks to Long Qing."
Applause broke out.
A powerful voice spread throughout the hall, waking others up.
An old woman who was about seventy years old came into view.
She has silver hair and wears a fashionable green dress.
"Monarch Barueretta."
The magicians who reacted bowed and saluted.
This was also the only monarch who participated in the banquet.
Her real name is Inolai Baruyereta Atolohom, she is in charge of the Creation Department and is a color magician. She is only one step away from the title of magician.
Except for Weber, the monarchs are almost all color position magicians.
In the entire magic world, the only known magician of the highest rank is Aozaki Yuko.
Hey, Li Xiang suddenly noticed that Aozaki Orange had left the banquet.
Thinking of the rumors between the two people, he could understand.
The reason why Aozaki Orange was sealed and designated is because of Inolai.
The music starts again.
The Golden Princess and the Silver Princess exited, leaving time for the magicians.
They just came to show off.
The banquets of nobles are more used for communication between magicians.
Enolai scanned around, turned and walked towards Li Xiang's direction.
"Astarte, long time no see."
She swung her whiskey glass and smiled.
"Your Excellency Baluyereta."
Astarte responded, "Will you be free to talk alone after the banquet is over?"
Inolai was slightly surprised.
Her impression of Astarte lies in her great strength and relationship with Lord Barthemero.
There is no intersection with anything else.
"Of course no problem."
Enola readily agreed and said, "I will send someone over to invite you when the time comes."
After the two people finished their greetings, Lenis said: "Greetings from a long time ago, Your Excellency Balu Yerretta."
She is just the successor of the monarch. Even if she is already a monarch, the current El-Melloi family does not even have one-tenth of the power of the Baruereta family.
Astarte could care less, but she couldn't.
She must be careful.
If she offends this monarch, she will be in big trouble.
Enough to be fatal.
Enolai nodded and said, "Lenice, you have done an excellent job in these years."
"Your Excellency is so complimentary."
Lenis responded with a smile.
"So have you ever considered changing factions?"
"..."
Lenis' body froze instantly.
The El-Melloi family has always belonged to the aristocratic faction, while the Baruereta family is a democratic faction, even the chief.
If she agrees, she will definitely be regarded as a traitor.
The consequences are of course self-evident.
Just when she was at a loss, Astadi stroked her hair and said, "It would be too much to poach someone in front of me."
Enolai laughed heartily and said: "The Edelfeldt family is a famous magic family of the democratic faction."
"But I'm also a member of the Legal Affairs Section."
Astati tilted her head and said, "If Lorelai finds out, she will definitely blame me."
Lorelai... Enola narrowed her eyes slightly.
In the Clock Tower, only Astarte dared to call him by his first name.
Because the Bartholomew family has always inherited the name of Bartholomew, they never talk about their real names.
Although Enola knew that their relationship was good, she didn't expect that it had reached this point.
At this moment, Bailon came to her side and whispered: "Lord Enolai, I have something to talk to you about."
"Then I'll leave first."
Inolai waved to them like a young man, and disappeared out the door with Bailon.
Lenis breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what she just answered, it was difficult.
It is impossible to agree, but if you refuse directly, you are afraid of offending Enola.
Alas, weakness is the original sin, diplomacy is dancing on the tip of a knife, and you will cut yourself if you are not careful.
"Thanks."
Lenis grabbed Astarte's wrist and kept her away from her beautiful blond hair.
"It's a piece of cake."
Astarte waved his hand casually.
Lenis was a little envious.
Since Kenneth's death, she has been in a state of constant fear.
I don’t know when I will be as confident as Astarte.
The party continues.
Lenis confessed to Astarte, and then took the wine glass to deal with other magicians.
His proficiency can be called a social butterfly.
For her, maintaining a tenuous connection is necessary.
Astarte ignored the others and started eating with Li Xiang.
It seemed like he really came to the banquet.
Occasionally, a few people came over to say hello, but were frightened by Astarte's glare and turned away.
"Sister, won't you offend them by doing this?"
Li Xiang looked at Astarte who said "I am very fierce" and couldn't help but ask.
Logically speaking, even the Edelfeldt family must maintain relationships.
And he's not even a famous magician born and raised in London.
"I don't like them interrupting our meal."
Astati paused and said, "Besides, my personality is like this, and they can't do anything to me."
Li Xiang withdrew his gaze.
What happened just now?
It felt a little like being teased.
An illusion, it must be an illusion.
Li Xiang concentrated on the dishes on the table.
Although most of the British food is not very good, at this kind of banquet, the Izeruma family naturally did not dare to neglect and put a lot of thought into it.
Finally it can be called gourmet food.
At the end of the banquet, Lenis was late.
She had been busy for most of the day and had eaten nothing except wine.
"Are you going back tonight?"
Astarte pushed a plate of pastries in front of her and asked.
"It's too late now. I plan to take the train back tomorrow."
Lenise's face turned slightly red due to the alcohol. She bit into the pastry and answered.
"Well, you can go back with us tomorrow."
"no problem."
Lynys doesn't really hate Astarte.
In this dangerous situation, having a friend like this is the greatest blessing.
Li Xiang, who was watching from the sidelines, shook his head in silence.
It's not that easy to go back tomorrow.
But if he stopped him, it would be too abrupt.
And what happened has already happened, Lenis is just taking the blame.
Li Xiang thought for a moment. He knew the plot and could help her clear up the misunderstanding.
With his status as a member of the Legal Affairs Department, it would be more reasonable to intervene after the murder.
The banquet is over.
Lenise and Gray went to the guest room where they were assigned.
Astarte waited for a while, and a young man came to send a message, inviting her to meet at a scenic spot outside the Moon Tower.
It was already dusk outside the tower.
The two people followed the young man and soon saw Enola waiting alone.
"You go down first."
Inolai waved his hand, and the young man turned around and disappeared.
She looked at the two people, especially staying on Li Xiang for a while.
Although I noticed him before, I didn't think about Astarte. I thought it was Lenis who brought him or just came to say hello.
"This one is new to me, I don't know what to call him?"
"My junior brother Li Xiang, it is not me who is talking to you tonight, but him."
Astarte replied calmly.
"interesting."
Enolai smiled and said, "I have always been an extraordinary young man to receive such help from Astarte. If you have any questions, just tell me."
"I created a new form of magic."
Li Xiang said straight to the point.
"oh?"
Yinuo Lai obviously didn't believe that Li Xiang was too young.
If it weren't for Astarte, such a person would definitely not be able to see her.
“It’s more powerful than words.”
Li Xiang said calmly, "Your Majesty, would you be interested in giving me some advice?"
Enolai was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He is truly a brave maniac.
"I haven't made a move for many years, and I haven't encountered anyone challenging me for a long time."
Enolai glanced at Astarte and said, "I'm going to give your senior sister some kindness. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."
Li Xiang took a few steps back and saluted slightly.
Seeing this, Astarte also distanced himself and let the stage go to them.
"I'm good at sand magic."
Enola stretched her right hand forward, hooked her fingers, and saw a stream of quicksand spurting out of her handbag.
Li Xiang thought of Gaara.
But the two are different.
Inolai uses sand paintings for attack and defense.
The quicksand condensed into Li Xiang's appearance in an instant.
"If you don't fight back, you'll have no chance."
Enola reminded slowly.
But the movements in his hands were dissatisfying.
She hooked her fingers and uttered a syllable in her mouth, and the quicksand turned into a sharp arrow and penetrated the shoulder on the sand painting.
The next moment, Li Xiang groaned, and identical wounds appeared on his body.
Inolai's face showed a little disappointment.
She has been quite merciful.
"Um?"
Inolai's expression suddenly changed, because Li Xiang turned into a wooden pile.
This is simply impossible.
Because she didn't hear the magic chant.
So how is magic performed?
Although there is instant magic, it still requires a syllable.
Unless it's a magic gift.
But in this case, what's the point.
Li Xiang was showing off his new magic trick, not the costume.
Enola was confident that even Astarte would not dare to deceive her like this.
The thoughts went away in a flash.
She turned to look to her right, and Li Xiang had appeared.
"Did you use a magic gift?"
"No."
Li Xiang shook his head and said, "I guarantee in the name of the Legal Affairs Department that there is absolutely no such thing."
"Then let me try to see what secrets you have."
Enola became interested and uttered two syllables, and saw five streams of quicksand emerging from her five fingers, connecting her sand paintings like silk threads.
She smiled and said: "Try the control magic that Creation Science is proud of."
After saying that, she moved her fingers slightly.
But soon her smile solidified.
"What's going on? Why aren't you controlled by me?"
Her sand paintings reflect Li Xiang's body.
It stands to reason that as long as she moves her fingers, she can control his body.
Unless his body is not the same body as before.
But how is this possible?!
Li Xiang said nothing, formed a seal with his hands, raised his head and spit out a big fireball.
Enolai was immediately startled.
Too late, her sand painting was destroyed by the flames.
"This is a seal, not a chant?!"
Enolai thought about it, and the sand painting took shape again.
But this time she moved her fingers, and Li Xiang made corresponding movements with an ugly look on his face.
"Intentional..."
Enola's thoughts didn't come out, so she turned around immediately. A stream of quicksand came out of her handbag and turned into a shield to block her face.
A water dragon crashed into it.
The quicksand becomes heavy when wet and immediately falls to the ground.
Inolai didn't care about this. She stared at the second Li Xiang who appeared with wide eyes.
I almost thought I was hallucinating.
"My lord, please be careful."
Li Xiang formed a seal with one hand, and his body instantly appeared in front of Enola across the sand painting.
Immediately he raised his finger and a stream of water spurted out.
Inolai was suddenly startled.
But she is a monarch after all, and she has countless magic rituals on her body.
The water flow was bounced away by an invisible magic power.
Li Xiang jumped back to avoid the pursuing sand gun.
Inolai's face looked a little gloomy.
To be forced to such an extent by an unknown magician was obviously unworthy of her monarchy.
But I have to say that Li Xiang's seal magic is quite surprising.
She narrowed her eyes, and more than a dozen streams of quicksand flowed out of her handbag. After she spit out four syllables, they turned into arrow feathers all over the sky.
Li Xiang saw this and quickly made seals.
All the magic power in the magic circuit flows out.
At this point, his magical power has reached its limit, so this is his last ninjutsu.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
With him as the center, a huge stream of water appeared out of thin air, spinning wildly to form a water wall.
Arrow feathers hit the water wall one after another.
Taking this opportunity, Li Xiang retreated directly and said: "Your Majesty, I have no magic power anymore, I admit defeat."
Enolai was slightly startled and immediately put away the quicksand.
She doesn't have the face to bully a junior.
"It's a miracle to change magic chanting into magic sealing and still be so successful."
Enolai praised without hesitation, "Even the Golden Princess and Silver Princess of Lord Bailon can hardly compare to your value."
As the head of the family, she naturally knows the true level of the Izeruma family.
In other words, when they were asked to become a branch family in the first place, they had the attitude of giving it a try.
If it succeeds, the results can be confiscated.
If she fails, it will have no impact on her.
"We at Baru Yerreta can invest in this project. Perhaps, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us exclusively, I can agree to any conditions."
Enolai suddenly looked at Astarte and said, "But this is obviously impossible."
"Currently there are only the Edfeldt family and the Bartholomew family."
Astarte spoke in time and asked, "How about it? Is Your Excellency Enola willing?"
Inolai was silent for a moment.
These two families are no less powerful than Baru Yerreta, and monopoly is almost impossible.
"Of course I do."
Inolai nodded and said, "Although I am unwilling to cooperate with Barthemero, if they obtain this kind of magic seal and their strength greatly exceeds ours, then the gain will outweigh the loss."
This reason seems to be consistent with the factional disputes in the Clock Tower.
I would rather let go of my reluctance than let the enemy gain strength.
Li Xiang said: "The gathering in a few days, please attend on time. The Edelfelt family will send someone to notify you."
"I will."
Enola turned around and walked towards the deeper lake area.
After a while, she stopped and said: "My stupid apprentice, even when he returns to the clock tower, he doesn't want to see his teacher."
"Didn't I come to see you?"
The figure of Aozaki Orange appeared in the mist, "He actually became a monarch, and the teacher also became very successful."
"It's better not to talk about such meaningless words."
Enola grinned and showed her white teeth, "You just came to the banquet after being released from the seal designation. Why are you interested in the two princesses?"
"This is it."
Aozaki Orange smiled and said, "That's right, I am indeed interested. What if something goes wrong and the source is connected?"
"Your tone is simply saying that there is something wrong with Bailongqing's magic."
Enolai was a little helpless, but quickly changed the topic, "I thought you were interested in the secret treasure that Izeluma recently bought."
"What is it?"
Aozaki Orange seemed completely unaware.
"The bloodline of a certain fantasy species."
"I see."
Aozaki Orange said with a smile, "It's a pity that I didn't know. Otherwise, I could have borrowed money from the Clock Tower in my sister's name to buy it."
"..."
Enola was speechless.
I have a magician sister who is very arrogant.
You can borrow money from the Clock Tower at will and you don't have to pay it back.
After all, who dares to escape debt from her?
Unless someone like the Jewel Man, Lord Bartholomew takes action himself.
But there is no need for them to turn against Aozaki Aoko for a mere amount of money.
