Shiki has received swordsmanship training from her father in her family's dojo since she was a child. As her one-body double-face, Oriya has inherited Shiki's battle memories and physical abilities.
The small dagger waving in his hand looked the same, but in the eyes of Lu Xiao, who could be called a swordsman master, Zhi's movements were full of flaws.
"Crack!"
Easily grabbing Zhi's right wrist holding the dagger, Lu Xiao reluctantly persuaded: "Double personality, you have chosen the wrong target. A ten-level rookie wants to challenge a hundred-level giant. You think too much."
.”
"Whoa!"
Lu Xiao used her soft strength and followed Liang Yizhi's own strength to throw him to the ground. When Zhi fell to the ground, he still maintained an expression of disbelief. He didn't expect that he would be defeated so easily.
Hitting the back of Zhi's neck with a knife, the aggressive boy immediately rolled his eyes and fainted.
After opening the portal and throwing Liang Li's body back to the gate of Liang Yi's house where he had been before, Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders under the gaze of the young ladies who were hesitant to speak.
"Don't look at me like that. It's hard to convince this guy by reasoning, and it's not safe for him to continue wandering outside."
'After all, Araya is still hiding in the dark and secretly planning to seize the body of Ryo Ritsu.'
It is not a long-term solution to let Liang Yizhi sneak out and wander around at night. After returning to Jialan Hall, Lu Xiao told Chengzi what happened today.
"Hey~"
Chengzi slapped his forehead with a headache: "Is it the dark side of dual personality? It's really troublesome..."
"Mist painting."
"Teacher, I'm here."
"I will trouble you more at night in the future. Arrange a few ghosts to track Liang Yizhi's movements and notify me as soon as any abnormality is discovered."
"yes."
The performance of ghosts driven by fog paint is very poor in combat, but using ghosts without physical existence as surveillance eyes is just right.
…
After returning to Fuyuki City after a rare vacation, Lu Xiao continued to squat at home and study hard on the information related to the Third Method obtained from the Einzbern family.
In order to practice his concept of combining work and rest, Rin would invite Lu Xiao to Tohsaka's house every weekend so that he could temporarily free himself from the heavy study and relax.
Lu Xiao has also been paying attention to the subsequent progress of Guanbuzi City, but Araya Zonglian seems to have noticed that someone is investigating him, and has been dormant recently.
Orange took the opportunity to grab many supernatural commissions in the city, allowing Wu Hui to accumulate a lot of experience in actual combat, and also harvested some relatively powerful evil spirits.
The ghosts sent to monitor Liang Yiwei found nothing unusual.
Ori will still wander around at night, chasing the smell of blood and approaching areas where disputes occur, but he has never actually killed anyone.
During the day, the two rituals of controlling the body had a male classmate who was relatively close to him in school. Lu Xiao paid careful attention to it, and the name of that male classmate was indeed Mikiya Kurogiri.
As time entered the early autumn of September, Lu Xiao's research on the third method began to come to an end. There was only one final piece left to complete the puzzle, and he had found the suitable parts and was working hard to overcome it.
"I see, there is no mandatory requirement for the sublimation of the soul to be achieved through alchemy. Einzbern just chose the right path, but alchemy is not the only choice to the end."
As Lu Xiao's research deepened, the common language between him and Aozaki Yuko became more and more. Through communication with the top puppet master, both of them gained a lot of inspiration from the other's magic concepts.
Human energy and time are limited, and most magicians cannot achieve longevity or even immortality in the true sense. They can only choose their own focused research projects in their limited lives.
Aozaki Orange did this at first.
Although she revived the basics of rune magic out of interest, she did not study the runes in more depth. Instead, she focused all her attention on puppet technology, thus obtaining the crown puppet
The famous name of the teacher.
Chengzi, who has reached the Clock Tower crown standard, has entered a bottleneck. She can make high-level dolls that are almost indistinguishable from the human body, and even made herself a useful body, but she can't see a way to continue to progress.
This is one of the reasons why Chengzi temporarily stopped moving forward and chose to rest in Guanbuzi City.
The Aozaki family is a family that holds the fifth magic, and Orange has been raised as a magic heir since he was a child.
However, Orange's magic circuit is actually not suitable for the extremely destructive fifth method. Her own views on the root vortex are also different from her grandfather, who was the holder of the fifth method of the previous generation.
In the end, Orange's grandfather deprived Orange of his right to inherit magic, and passed the fifth method to his sister Aozaki Aoko, whose magic skills were very poor, but whose circuits were more suitable for the fifth method.
Because of this incident, the two sisters once had a life-threatening fierce conflict, which ultimately ended in Chengzi's failure.
Just like what the old magician Aozaki said, although Orange's magic circuit is very good and she has a terrifying talent that can be called a genius by the Clock Tower, she is really not suitable for the fifth method.
Regarding this point, Cheng Zi calmed down during the ten years of reflection after the Sister Wars, and gradually agreed with his grandfather's point of view.
Nowadays, Chengzi is no longer as overly obsessed with the roots as she was when she went to the Clock Tower to study. Having escaped the temptation of the vortex of roots, she can instead examine her future magic path from a more objective perspective.
On the puppet road, the top puppet master Chengzi has almost reached the end. If he wants to continue to make progress, he can only move closer to the direction of soul research like Araya Soren.
The lifespan problem that is difficult for ordinary magicians to solve is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Orange.
The Puppet Master can replace her body with a younger and more durable body at any time. Theoretically, as long as Orange's soul does not decay over time like an old insect, her lifespan is endless.
The corruption of Matou Zouken's soul has sounded the alarm to all magicians who aspire to immortality. If the problem of soul corruption cannot be solved, even if the body can live long, it will eventually lose itself to the corrosion of time.
The soul research in the third method complements Chengzi's puppet technology.
Lu Xiao learned many puppet-making techniques that were different from Einzbern's alchemy from Chengzi, and Chengzi also received inspiration from Lu Xiao about "soul preservation".
…
The Clock Tower is a special space compressed by magic. After countless magic folds, the tower has a vast space that far exceeds the actual area.
There is an office in the deepest part of the Clock Tower that is vacant most of the time. The owner of this office is the founder of the Clock Tower Ore Division, the second magician known as the Sorcerer Marshal and the Jewel Man, Kishua Zelrich Shu.
Bein Ogu.
Due to the special nature of the second method, Gemstone spent most of his time wandering between parallel worlds.
The magician in the Clock Tower speculated that he had actually been sitting in his office all along, but he was in a different parallel world and people in this world had difficulty catching his traces.
Lorelei Barsemero, who is in charge of the Clock Tower Legal Affairs Department, recently made an unexpected discovery. The gem man who used to be invisible had actually stayed in the office for a month in a row without missing.
Bartholomew has extremely high authority in the Clock Tower, but their people still behave very respectfully when facing real magicians.
"Your Majesty the Second Magician, is there anything we can do to help you?"
Gemstone Weng is an old man with white beard and hair. He has a neatly groomed beard and wears a gorgeous and solemn black robe.
Due to a major event thousands of years ago, he was transformed into a Dead Apostle by a powerful True Ancestor during a battle. He aged severely and his strength also declined a lot.
After all, Gem Man is a magician. Although his power has declined due to his transformation into a Death Apostle, he does not have as strong a blood-sucking urge as other Death Apostles.
"Your Majesty the Second Magician?"
"Uh-huh?"
Zelrich, who was distracted, finally came to his senses after Lorelei called him many times. He smiled lowly and said, "Nothing, I just came here to witness the birth of a new magician."
The tone of Gemstone Man's tone was too plain. Lorelai and the other monarchs who came to visit Gemstone Man didn't even think about it. It took a few seconds before they exclaimed in unison.
