It is now the end of November, and the lead-colored sky above has blocked the sunlight, causing the already low temperature to drop again. Pedestrians on the street are bundled up tightly, and they are walking in a hurry to meet Mikael.
Pass by.
There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air, even in this remote city in the far east. The great stock market conditions have made people in this country fall into excitement. All the conversations are about stock-related topics, and only a few words are spoken.
In Mikael's ears.
“The stock I bought hasn’t gone up very well recently, and I’m still reluctant to sell it.
"Don't be reluctant, it's just a tool to make money. I always buy two or three stocks whose probability of rising is greater than that of falling. I just want to make a portfolio and the portfolio will be profitable as a whole. As for any stock in it, I will not have any feelings.
components, sell immediately when the combination makes a profit.”
"It turns out there is this way to buy and sell."
"It's just a simple combination game. You can make money by breaking this rule. I just bought a high-end apartment next to Yoyogi Shrine in Tokyo a few days ago."
………
The Japanese stock market is now rising steadily, and the entire country is in a state of fanaticism, even this remote town is no exception. Now, Mikael is not interested in their remarks at all. Over the past hundreds of years, he has accumulated
I have made countless investments in gold, silver and jewelry, but at least I have never had to worry about money.
What's more, Mikael is still here. If nothing unexpected happens, Japan's economy will collapse in the next year or two. At that time, it will be possible to annex some companies and real estate at a low price. Of course, this is all a story later.
After entering Misaki City, he could feel the weak magic lingering in the atmosphere. The nodes that controlled the spiritual veins formed a magic array that could monitor the entire city. Although the quality of this spiritual vein was average, in terms of protection,
But he resorted to great measures.
There are two ways to seize the spiritual veins controlled by other magicians. One is to unlock the nodes on the spiritual veins and then rearrange the magic array of your own. The other is very simple and crude. Just get rid of the magician himself.
.
Under normal circumstances, Mikael adopts the second method. Since solving the problem is very troublesome, he directly solves the person who raised the problem.
He glanced at the sun on the horizon. It was hidden behind layers of clouds. There were only about three or four hours left before sunset. Although Mikael, as a Death Apostle, would not be harmed by the sun, he would not be harmed by the sun.
Fighting under the sun is somewhat sluggish.
Suddenly, someone bumped into him, interrupting his thoughts. It was a young man who looked like a high school student, wrapped in a thick black woolen coat.
"Sorry, sorry..."
He apologized repeatedly, with a simple and sincere apology on his face. He had a completely different aura from the pedestrians around him, as if he had just come down from an isolated mountain.
"It's okay, but please be careful when walking."
The corners of Mikael's mouth raised slightly, revealing a gentle smile. He gently patted the young man's shoulder, and then walked past him.
"I'm really sorry……"
The young man scratched his head and continued on his way, completely unaware of the surveillance marks on his body.
"This young man is indeed no ordinary ordinary person."
Watching the young man leave, Mikael narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at his back with interest. In the short moment before, his magic power had already circulated in the young man's body several times, ascertaining the basic situation.
.
The extremely well-trained muscles, including the instinctive reaction of the body when the shoulder is touched, are enough to prove that the young man has received rigorous combat training, but there is no disgusting smell like those from the Holy Church, so he should not be the agent.
[Such a person appears in Misaki City, I hope it won’t cause trouble to you...]
Mikael thought thoughtfully, and then walked into a noodle shop on the roadside.
………
The winter sun set very early, and the night flooded the entire city like a tide. The cold wind howled through the city, leaving light red marks on people's naked skin.
People returned to their warm homes early. Mikael was walking on the deserted streets, the hem of his windbreaker fluttering in the cold wind, and the scarf wrapped around his neck covering half of his face.
Misaki City was originally built in the forest. Although modernization has been vigorously promoted in recent years, large areas of forest still remain in the suburbs. The light of civilization has not eroded the mystery of nature, and the green here is still growing tenaciously.
At the junction of Misaki City and Misaki Hills, Mikael stopped. There was a barrier that enveloped the entire forest in front of him. He paused slightly, and then strode in.
………
"Youzhu, do you feel it? Someone has invaded the forest."
In the elegantly decorated sunroom, Aozaki Aoko put down the magic book she was studying with a serious face and looked at her roommate who was sitting opposite her and was a part-time teacher.
The slightly dark brown black hair is draped behind her back, the blue eyes are like the clear sky, and the slightly loose red home sweater outlines the girl's soft curves like distant mountains. No matter how you look at Aozaki Aoko, she is unbreakable.
A beautiful girl who doesn’t buckle.
"Could it be the cunning guy?"
Seemingly worried, Aozaki Aoko asked.
"I don't know, I have changed the surveillance barrier from mansion mode to Misaki mode."
The slender girl sitting opposite responded to her question. Unlike Aozaki Aoko, Kuonji Yuju only had black and white colors all over her body. Her plain white face was expressionless, with neither sorrow nor joy.
The black monk's uniform was particularly suitable for her, even a little too much, with a dreamlike feeling, like a still landscape painting.
"We have been gradually surrounded since yesterday. Although the progress is slow, the intruder's intention is very obvious."
"When you say siege, you mean that the number of enemies has increased?"
Hearing Kuonji Yuju's words, Aozaki Aoko couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Both. In addition to the one person who has been captured, there is one person in the city and three people in the forest."
"It sounds a bit complicated-"
Aozaki Aoko sighed softly, and then poured herself a cup of steaming black tea. In the cold bungalow without heating, this was one of the few ways for them to keep warm.
"If your information is correct, which side is more troublesome?"
"Of course it's from this side of the forest. These three people have to find a way to capture it."
"Do you need my help?"
Aozaki Aoko asked tentatively, even though he was only a half-baked magician, he could at least share the firepower.
"No need, I am enough for tonight. If you really have time, why not practice more suggestions? Have you confused suggestion magic and Yin Qi Bomb?"
Kuonji Yuju mercilessly rejected Aozaki Aoko's request, drank the tea in her cup, stood up, and walked towards the door.
"Obviously it was the pancakes that made me confuse the magic..."
Aozaki Aoko muttered, then opened the magic book in her hand again, looked at the obscure content, and subconsciously curled her lips,
