Chapter 361: Murder in Shikatori Town, Aozaki Orange's Spiritual World (End)
In the gloomy winter rain, England tightened his hood and walked quickly through the slightly bleak streets. His polished leather boots were stained with mud, but he didn't care about it.
His clothes were incompatible with this era. If I had to say it, he would be a few centuries behind the times. He looked like a weirdo who walked out of an old castle. There were curiosity and other expressions in the eyes of passers-by around him, but
Out of politeness, they pretended not to see it.
[A bunch of stupid pigs, and damn Edelfelt...]
England cursed in his mind, these glances hurt his sensitive heart and made him recall the extremely unpleasant experience not long ago.
In fact, it's very simple to say. His family went bankrupt and was devoured by the hyenas who usually despise him. Of course, the family's bankruptcy was also planned by those hyenas. Otherwise, Eddington can be regarded as having inherited magic for seven generations.
How could a famous family collapse so easily?
You must know that the Edelfeldt family is just a nouveau riche during the Renaissance. The family started by usurping secrets and magic rituals. They like to intervene in the disputes in the world and steal the treasures of magic. They can be called hyenas to the fullest.
The Eddington family is inherited from the ancient Roman period and has a long history. It was once close to the roots... Well, there is a lot of water in the above words, but the Eddington family themselves will not admit it.
In fact, they only inherited an insignificant scrap of the glory of ancient Rome. The magic property inherited from the family is [Value Conversion]. If the entire Rome is used as the condition for conversion, maybe they can really reach the root.
But even just a little scrap can still make Eddington glorious for centuries. However, with the development of the times, some things obviously cannot be solved by magic, such as financial problems.
[Value Conversion] The foundation of magic comes from ancient Rome. The medium used to perform magic is generally ancient Roman coins. The family's storage is about to be exhausted, and the ancient Roman coins circulating in the market today are all expensive without exception.
Surprisingly, this was also an important reason for the decline of the Eddington family.
England no longer desires to restore the former glory of the Eddington family, but only wants to continue the family. Although Finland is large today, there is no place for them, so they can only leave their hometown and come to a land regarded as a desert by the magic world.
of the Far East.
Everything is going well so far. Through the black market information, he knows that there is a spiritual land in this remote town. The scale and quality are not great, but the owner is just a declining magic family, which can be considered good.
match.
[If it were truly a spiritual land with excellent quality and scale, it would have been snatched away by other powerful magician families long ago. How could it be kept until now? 】
England thought in his heart that the current Eddington family needed a place to stay. He was confident that the family could be revitalized. At least in the mysterious and scarce Far East, it would be easy for the Eddington family to become the leader.
Thinking of the rise of the Eddington family in the future, England subconsciously touched his right arm. There was still a trace of pain there. Half of the magic seal that had been passed down by the family for seven generations was plundered by the Edelfeldt family.
All that remains is what they regard as useless residue.
His face became more and more ferocious, and there seemed to be a blazing flame burning in his heart, which even the cold winter rain could not extinguish.
But soon England felt like he was being spied on. Ever since he stepped into this city, the peeping eyes followed him like a shadow.
The crows hovered over the city, looking down at the incompatible aliens among the crowd below. Their feathers looked like they were made of metal, reflecting a temperatureless light in the winter sun.
"The familiar...it seems that the master here reacts quite quickly."
Engham stretched out his palm and aimed at the hovering crows, and dark red ominous magic power gathered in his palm.
"[gandr]"
This is a rune magic inherited from Northern Europe. It is a curse that can reduce the target's physical mobility. However, if the magic density is high enough, it can also have power comparable to bullets.
The whistling dark red Yinqi bullets streaked through the air with a bright red arc, just like the Gungnir thrown by the great god Odin, hitting the hovering flock of crows.
One of the crow familiars exploded, and black feathers covered with flesh and blood flew into the air. England nodded with satisfaction, and after casting the [Far Sight] magic, he aimed at the other crow familiars.
One after another, the Yinqi bullets pierced the sky like retrograde meteors, killing all the crows. After venting the anger in his heart, he felt a lot better. He looked at the crow familiar that fell on the ground.
I looked through the wreckage with great interest.
With just a glance, England found that the magic circuit inside was very rough, and there were errors that were not too obvious.
According to the information provided by the black market, the owner of this spiritual land is just a girl who is studying in high school and has not undergone systematic magic learning. Making such a familiar is indeed considered a pass, but there is still a long way to go to be excellent. Maybe through
She will reach that point in her future studies, but now she has no time.
Confirming his conclusion more and more, England stood up, took out a white silk handkerchief, and wiped the non-existent dust on his hands.
Unknowingly, while chasing these crow familiars, he had already left the main street and came to a secluded alley. He looked at the shadow not far away, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a bit of arrogance.
"Is this the way the Far Eastern magic family treats guests? It's really novel."
After about a minute, the girl slowly walked out of the shadows.
It is very different from usual. Aozaki Aoko's awe-inspiring figure carries a strong will that almost penetrates her opponent. Her clear eyes are shining with cold phosphorescence, which is as inorganic and strong as ice.
The beautiful girl not only reminded England of the mythical Valkyrie.
His heart was trembling violently. Of course, it wasn't some bullshit love at first sight, but a sudden desire to conquer. He was about to conquer the girl in front of him. Although her status was far from comparable to his, she could still barely be a match for Edin.
The Don family gave birth to offspring.
Aozaki Aoko frowned slightly, and the intruder's eyes in front of her became even more infuriating. The arrogance and greed intertwined in his eyes made people want to give him a flying kick.
However, she was always irritable and endured it. This was her first battle, and she was inevitably a little nervous. Half a month of training allowed her to subconsciously adjust the rhythm of her breathing. Distracting thoughts were eliminated, leaving only herself and the world in front of her.
of intruders.
The magic formula unfolds silently, and the surging magic power travels through the body. The state is adjusted to the best, and you can launch an attack at any time.
