After the magic exchange meeting, Li Xiang's reputation improved in a small area.
Although it doesn't have much significance at the moment, it may have an unexpected effect one day.
The dozens of magicians participating in the conference are enough to build a large network of connections.
As the founder of seal magic, Li Xiang is naturally grateful to them.
When key interests are not involved, it is quite simple to say a few words of support.
After the exchange meeting, Li Xiang handed the research application to his class teacher Kaxiu.
According to normal procedures, he will be handed over to the Ore Department, and then to the Clock Tower.
Li Xiang suddenly thought of a question.
Twelve subjects are responsible for twelve monarchs.
With exceptions like Weber, monarchs leave matters to their families, or to professors at the academy.
But who is responsible for the clock tower?
Li Xiang asked about Astarte.
His senior sister pursed her lips and smiled, then asked: "What do you think?"
Naughty.
Li Xiang was slightly startled and asked, "Isn't it the Legal Affairs Department?"
"Congratulations, you answered correctly."
Astati said softly, "The dean of the Clock Tower has long since stopped taking charge. As Lorelai's assistant to the dean, who else is qualified to manage the clock tower besides her?"
Li Xiang is indeed a little dark under the light.
He didn't think much about Lorelei's identity.
In this case, wouldn’t his application be a sure thing?
About three days later, Li Xiang received the news that the approval had been obtained.
After the project is officially established, funds should be used to purchase various related materials and equipment, as well as hire expert professors and assistants.
But this is just a general approach.
Li Xiang doesn't need it at all.
He can handle it all by himself.
Just provide a certain amount of magic to the three major families on a regular basis.
Of course, he won't reveal everything. After reaching a certain number, he can let go.
Because these geniuses will automatically develop new magic tricks.
Maybe Li Xiang can learn from them in turn.
Let this matter rest for now.
When he got the money, he naturally bought various materials.
Since gems accounted for the majority, most of the funds went into Astarte's wallet.
It should be said the Edelfelt family.
As a famous Finnish family, they are a big family of gem magicians, and they are known as "the scale that measures ores".
Dealing in gemstones is a matter of course.
Li Xiang is happy to relax.
You only need to pay money to receive express delivery at home, which is much better than running around at auctions and the like.
Besides, the senior sister is considered a member of the family, so she pays the rent.
It was another busy day, and Li Xiang finished his work in the alchemy workshop.
Although his level of alchemy is not bad, as the gem sword is the best among magic rituals, it goes without saying that it is difficult.
It is completely comparable to the costumes of the Gods.
He opened the door and what came into view was long purple hair.
"Oh, it's Senior Sister Ying."
Li Xiang took a half step back, distanced himself, and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"I see you seem to be getting up very late these days."
Tohsaka Sakura asked calmly.
"Because making the gem sword consumes too much energy and magic power, I sometimes can't get up."
Li Xiang felt a little confused.
He clearly remembered that Sakura Tohsaka didn't care much about him.
She only has Astarte in her eyes, a proper sister-in-law.
"Junior brother, as a magician, should maintain the habit of going to bed early and getting up early."
Tohsaka Sakura lowered her head and said softly, "The most important thing is not to delay sister's class time."
I see.
Li Xiang's face showed surprise.
When he gets up late, Astarte prepares breakfast.
It does take some time.
"I'll pay attention."
Li Xiang nodded and said.
"Thanks."
Tohsaka Sakura suddenly showed her usual gentle smile and turned to leave.
What's there to be thankful for?
Li Xiang was thoughtful.
Sakura doesn't think she has usurped her sister, does she?
Why do you feel like you're going to be stabbed at any time?
What kind of character should Sakura, who grew up in the Edelfelt family, have?
Li Xiang's impression of her has always been gentle.
Because she was indeed like this in front of Astarte.
After a small episode, Li Xiang felt that it was time to resume his normal schedule.
During winter and summer vacations in his previous life, he often had day and night reversed.
After a while, I feel like I have no energy.
Half a month later, Li Xiang finally completed one third of the gem sword.
Calculating the time, it should be done before February.
"Junior brother."
Astarte leaned against the sofa and waved to him.
"What's up?"
Li Xiang sat opposite her and asked, "Is it about the holy relics?"
Astati's legs are crossed together, and her black stockings are tightly wrapped, outlining her powerful curves.
Because of the slippers I wore at home, my right foot was completely exposed and was shaking unconsciously.
"no."
Astati shook her head and asked, "I noticed that you get up very early every day during this period. Don't you want to rest more? Or are you not satisfied with the breakfast prepared by senior sister and prefer Sakura's?"
"Of course not."
Li Xiang said quickly, "Unhealthy habits naturally need to be corrected as soon as possible. Now that Gemstone Sword is on track, there is no need to stay up late like this anymore."
"Well, that's a good point."
Astati smiled and said, "At all times, we must maintain discipline, with meticulous planning, efficient living, and serving the overall purpose."
Li Xiang froze.
He had heard the last half of the sentence.
In a dream.
That's what Astarte said as well.
After having the dream of being imprisoned, Li Xiang was surprised to find that the dream was actually a TV series that kept going on.
During this period, he probably dreamed about it seven or eight times.
Nothing too surprising.
It's all daily communication with Astarte.
But the location is on a spaceship.
"What's wrong? Junior brother."
Astati stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "You are still in a daze while talking. Did you not get enough rest?"
"I'm fine."
Li Xiang smelled a faint fragrance.
But then he was slightly startled.
Because Astarte raised her finger and tapped his forehead.
"Well, I'm in good health."
She smiled and touched Li Xiang's hair, "It seems he is a bit stupid."
"I……"
Li Xiang wanted to remind her not to touch boys' heads casually.
"Go to sleep."
Astati looked into his eyes and said, "Good night, maybe I can still dream about your senior sister."
The fragrance disappeared in front of Li Xiang.
After sitting there for a while, he returned to his room.
"What does that last sentence mean?"
Li Xiang fell into sleep deep in thought.
It's also a warm room.
But the decorations were replaced with black and gold.
An expressionless Astarte appeared and said: "Tomorrow is the tenth day, so cherish your last time."
Blood sacrifice?
Li Xiang thought for a while and asked, "Who am I?"
"...?"
Astarte showed a different expression for the first time.
She reached out her hand and pressed it on Li Xiang's forehead.
"Is it because you have been here for too long that you have amnesia? But you are in good health."
Li Xiang smelled the same fragrance.
Just like the senior sister in reality.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether he was thinking about something every day and dreaming about it at night? Or was there something wrong?
"Hey, don't scare me. As a prop, if it loses its effect, it will make people very distressed."
"..."
She is definitely not a senior sister who is so callous and ruthless.
Li Xiang shook his head and said, "I'm fine."
"If you are dissatisfied with your current treatment, you can tell me."
Astarte tilted his head and said, "Well, try to fight with me? If you win, I can leave."
One-on-one is okay.
Li Xiang had long realized that he was an ordinary person in his dream.
You will definitely not be able to defeat him, and he might as well be a useless house.
"As the leader of the Space God Yinliu, I have won more than ninety-nine times in a row, so you must think clearly before challenging me."
Astarte raised his chin slightly and said, "If you fail, you will be imprisoned and your property will be confiscated."
Space god Yin flow?
Li Xiang's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Are you Ishtar?"
Astarte's face immediately darkened and he said: "On my spaceship, I don't allow anyone to mention this name!"
"Feel sorry."
Li Xiang came back to his senses and said.
"...Forget it, I forgive you."
Astarte's emotion lasted for about a second, and then returned to his usual expressionless face.
"If you really want to shout, please don't do it in front of me."
Li Xiang suddenly laughed.
So are you in the fgo star wars event plot?
I blame him for skipping the plot and not reacting in time.
Light pours in from the window.
Li Xiang opened his eyes.
In his previous life, he always called Astarte Universe Lin or Qiu Lin.
The worst person to shout is Ishtar from the Chinese translation.
Few would notice that her name is Ishtar Astarte.
In addition, he never thought that Astarte would become her senior sister.
There is a kind of dark mentality under the lamp.
Logically speaking, this is impossible.
In terms of setting, Astarte is the original goddess of another universe.
I don't know how long it will take to reach him in person.
But if she is really Astarte, then all the things that have happened all along have reasonable explanations.
Li Xiang was finally awakened by a knock on the door.
He came back to his senses, put on his clothes a few times, opened the door, and saw Astarte outside the door.
"Come out to eat."
Astarte is still the same as usual.
After Li Xiang finished washing, he sat opposite her.
Luvia and Tohsaka Sakura discovered a ruins not long ago, so they haven't been at home these days.
Astarte felt confused.
Li Xiang looks strange today.
From time to time he would look at her with unclear eyes.
It made her a little flustered.
"Well...junior brother, if you want to say something, just say it directly."
Astarte couldn't help but speak.
She was not used to this kind of atmosphere, which made her feel uneasy.
"I dreamed about Senior Sister last night."
Li Xiang said carefully, considering his tone.
"Oh, what's the content?"
Astarte raised his eyebrows and said.
"Tell me, you are the leader of the space god Yinliu, and you also have a name called Ishtar."
Li Xiang looked calm.
"..."
Astarte froze.
A feeling of panic came over me.
She looked blank and couldn't think of how to react.
"I remember that as a master, I would dream about the past of my servants."
Li Xiang raised his hand, revealed the command spell, and said with a smile, "Senior sister, should you explain it to me?"
After a long time, Astarte came back to his senses.
She smiled and asked confidently: "Why do you need to explain? It's obviously because you don't remember my name."
"It's not...I..."
Li Xiang suddenly felt that he seemed a little unable to control the current situation.
Astarte raised the corners of his mouth, hooked his fingers, and said: "Come here, I will give you a reasonable explanation."
Li Xiang put down his chopsticks and walked up to her.
Astarte stood up, just above his neck.
She noticed the problem, took off her shoes and stood on the chair.
He immediately surpassed Li Xiang.
"..."
It was difficult for Li Xiang to understand the scene in front of him.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt his lip being bitten.
The soft touch and sweet taste explode in your mouth at the same time.
It also exploded in his heart.
As if his speech spirit had been opened, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
My mind is blank.
