To be king and magician

"If the people under me can't concentrate on their work, I will be very distressed. After all, it is rare to find such a useful helper like you. If you are out of shape, your work efficiency will be very low."

"So you just go and meet him. You haven't seen him for two years anyway? Just treat it as a vacation for you."

"Eh------?!"

43. The Alley League - Doesn't Exist

In a certain open-air cafe in the modern magic science academic city.

"Going to travel to a parallel world?"

The 23-year-old Tohsaka Rin looked at Sajo Ayaka opposite him in surprise.

Because they are also considered to be magicians who have studied under the monarch El-Melloi II, and they also have some contacts with Gemstone. Coupled with the relationship of Natsukawa Tiger, in fact, the relationship between Ayaka Sajo and Rin Tohsaka The relationship is quite good, as is Luvia's side.

During the two years after Xia Chuanhu left, if Sajo Ayaka encountered troubles that she couldn't solve, she would usually go to these two senior sisters for help, and she would talk to them about what happened.

But now, when Sajo Ayaka said that she was going to the parallel world, Rin Tohsaka calmed down after being surprised for a moment: "So that's the case, is the task entrusted to you by the master this time involving the parallel world?"

"There are a few, but in fact it's secondary. According to him, it doesn't matter if I don't go." Sajo Ayaka touched the handle of the coffee cup in her hand, "Actually... that The parallel world seems to be the parallel world where Xia Chuan is."

"Xia Chuan... oh~~~ That's right~~~~"

Rin Tohsaka understood immediately, and looked at Sajo Ayaka with a little teasing look in her eyes: "Then this trip to the parallel world is indeed a trip, newlywed... no, it's not right, it should be Said it was a pre-wedding honeymoon trip?"

"I'm not married to him, Senior Sister Rin. Besides, I haven't seen him for two years. Maybe he has forgotten about me."

"That's absolutely impossible."

Stretching out a finger and flicking Sajo Ayaka's forehead, Tohsaka Rin said with a smile: "Xia Chuan's words will definitely not forget you, he attaches great importance to the people around him, let alone you who are with him For a person who has experienced life and death, I think the only way to make him forget you is to delete and reset his memory."

"And at his level, at least I can't imagine a situation where his memory is completely erased. So don't worry, Ayaka. If he doesn't come back, it's definitely not because he forgot you, but because he really can't smoke. Get out."

Can Xia Chuanhu be so busy that he can't get away?

Sajo Ayaka pouted: "But with his ability, what can keep him busy for two years?"

"Well... all kinds of things, you know, he seems to have a weird physique that will keep getting involved in troublesome things, maybe he has only dealt with one thing in the past two years And get involved in another matter?"

"It doesn't seem impossible."

It makes more sense to think of it this way.

The dissatisfaction on Sajo Ayaka's face disappeared, and after seeing her change, Tohsaka Rin also smiled: "Speaking of which, when are you going to leave? If you go to the parallel world... There should be quite a lot of things to prepare, right?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow. As for the things to prepare, there are actually not many things to prepare. Gemstone Weng said that two or three days of clothes is enough, and he will prepare the rest for me first, such as the identity certificate of the parallel world or something."

"That's good, remember to say hello to Xia Chuan for me and Luvia and the others."

"Ah."

——————————————————————————————————————

This side of the world.

Egypt, Atlas Mountains.

In the magician's world, this is a rather special place, not in a magical sense, but in an organizational sense.

Along with the Clock Tower and the Wandering Sea, the Atlas Academy, one of the three major organizations in the magic world, is located here.

To be precise, it is deep underground.

The nickname of the Atlas Institute in the magic world is [Giant's Cellar]. Its main body is built under the desert, and the internal roads are intricate. Even more afraid of insiders going out.

Therefore, once entering the Atlas Court, it is basically impossible to go out again.But in fact, those who aspire to join the Atlas Institute will not think about leaving here again.

As for the magicians of the Atlas Academy, there are only two out of them—one is the seven contract books distributed at the beginning of the establishment of the academy, but anyone who holds the contract books will come to visit. Lars Institute must fully assist.The second is the cooperation invitation from the Church of the Holy Church and the Magic Association.

Just like the situation this time.

Aster Altram Atlasia, a young magician who is regarded as the next dean of the Atlas Academy, who had been researching alchemy in her workshop, this time the long-lost Came out of the workshop because of an order.

There are no rules in the Atlas courtyard, only one commandment, and that commandment is not a commandment that makes people have to obey orders, so in fact, Shion is completely free to come out, as long as he does not hear the order.

But unfortunately, the person who sent the order to let her come out was the head of the contemporary Atlas Academy, who left the Academy many years ago and did not return until a few years ago. Lacia.

He is also Shion's adoptive father.

Since it was his instruction, Ziyuan could only obediently go to see him, otherwise the door of her workshop would probably be forcibly opened.

In Zbia's workshop——

"I'm here, Dean, what's the matter? If there's nothing wrong, can you let me go back to the workshop immediately to carry out the unfinished experiment? I haven't finished an important calculation yet."

As soon as she entered the workshop, Ziyuan finished what she wanted to say and raised her feet to go back, but before that, Ziyuan's body walked up to Zibia who was sitting in the workshop.

Zi Yuan paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Use the etheric beam to control me as soon as I came up, Dean, do you really not want me to leave?"

"Well, because if you leave, I will be very troubled. Besides, you can continue with the calculation now, can't you? Don't tell me that you can't think separately."

"I just want to concentrate—I haven't been back for so many years, and I went straight into the workshop after I came back without making a sound. I was finally born, but the first sentence asked me to come here, Dean, you It’s really a bit capricious.”

"I don't deny it, it's true from an objective point of view." Zibia laughed, "Let's get down to business, Ziyuan Altram Atlasia, I have something for you to deal with."

"Huh? What's the matter? Could it be something you can't finish, Dean? Then I definitely can't finish it, there's no point, so I'll leave first—"

After controlling Ziyuan's body to make her shut up, Tsbia laughed and said, "It should be said that it was an emergency. If it wasn't because it had something to do with me, I wouldn't want to manage it."

"Shion Eltram Atlasia, starting tomorrow you will go to a city in Japan called Misaki City, and then there—"

"Kill [Zbia Eltram Atlasia]."

44. Misaki City

Misaki City is a city with some problems.

Residents living in Misaki City are more or less aware of this.

If we push forward, it can be traced back to nearly 20 years ago. At that time, it was said that someone could see a golden wolf as tall as a person in Misaki City, and the moon was particularly bright for some reason.

Then about seven years ago, because the time was relatively close and there were a lot of people at that time, people still remember that there were fires and corpses of people who had been sucked dry in Misaki City at that time. There are vampires inhabiting the city.

And now, rumors like this are once again spreading in Misaki City—the kind of vampire that can suck human blood has appeared recently.

This seems to be a rule. Every once in a while something will happen in Misaki City, but these rumors usually only circulate for a few days, and will gradually disappear within a week or two at most, and no one mentions it again. When someone wanted to investigate, they found that it was all empty talk and fantasy.

Urban legends—the essence of many rumors circulating in Misaki City is roughly the same.

......

The station in Misaki City.

Although ten years ago, under the attack of one of the 27 ancestors of the Dead Apostles, the commercial area built around the station was turned into a sea of ​​flames, but now seven years have passed, and the station has been rebuilt and maintained. While maintaining the original scale, a large number of fire extinguishing facilities have also been added.

The continuous fires caused by Flov Archangel were later considered by the locals to be caused by the serious shortage of fire extinguishing facilities. In order to avoid possible fires from happening again, a lot of fire extinguishing equipment has been added in Misaki City.

In addition, in addition to dealing with the fire, night patrols in Misaki City have also been strengthened a lot. The vampire incident that happened almost at the same time as the fire seven years ago also caused a lot of psychological shadow on the Misaki City authorities, because there was no way to It is forbidden to go out after sitting until nightfall, so I can only work hard on patrol.

Although in the seven years since then, Misaki City has maintained peace, and nothing wrong has happened again, causing many people to feel that they have punched the air.

And now, walking out of the station with a suitcase in tow, Aozaki Chengzi took a look at the unfamiliar city, and pushed down his glasses: "It's really changing with each passing day. The speed of development in modern society really makes me feel like A sense of powerlessness that cannot keep up with the times.”

"Orange, your adaptability to modern society has surpassed [-]% of magicians."

Following Aoqi Chengzi to the street, Xia Chuanhu, who was also carrying a suitcase, said with a smile: "You know, there are still a lot of magicians in the clock tower who don't know how to use mobile phones, and the entire clock tower is only modern. Magic and plants are wired and networked."

It would be an insult to self-important magicians to use modern devices, preferring communication magic to cell phones.

Not only those old magicians, but also the new generation of magicians who were born in ancient families. The only exceptions are those "problem students" in the modern magic department, and the botanical department that started to involve modern media early. up.

Of course, there are very few upper floors of the clock tower.

And Canozaki Chengzi not only knows how to use a mobile phone, but also a computer, and can also use various things in modern society quite proficiently. In this regard, he has indeed surpassed most magicians.

"After all, things like dolls will change with the times in a sense. What is the mainstream aesthetics of this era and what dolls are needed in this era? If you can't keep up with the times, you will only be old-fashioned. If you buy antiques, you won’t be able to make any money at all.”

Aoqi Chengzi shrugged: "Compared to this, what I didn't expect was that you also came along. It's rare that I want to live a two-person world with the boy."

When she said this, Aozaki Toko looked at Natsukawa Torano behind him, where Shiel, who had changed into the school uniform she used to sneak into Misaki City, was carrying a schoolbag, which looked like a Students who have just finished school and are entrusted by their families to come pick them up.

"Since there are dead disciples here in Misaki City, I can't just leave them alone."

"Even if you are no longer a member of the Church of the Holy Church?"

"Occupational diseases cannot be cured."

Xier has joined the Church of the Holy Church for more than ten years. During these years, she has eliminated a large number of dead apostles. Fighting and eliminating dead apostles is something she is used to.

When he heard that Natsukawa Torora and Aozaki Orange were coming to Misaki City to face a special dead man, Shiel volunteered to go with him.

"I've already left the Holy Church, you don't have to do this, Xier." Xia Chuanhu said with a wry smile, "Although it's all now, I still want to say that it's good for you to go back to London with Lingyi .”

"Don't worry, I won't get in your way."

Xier smiled slightly: "I will use my own way to deal with that special dead disciple, you just do your own thing, then I will leave here first."

After finishing speaking, Xier carried her schoolbag and wanted to leave first, but the next second, Xia Chuanhu grabbed her by the collar and carried her back like a chicken: "You can do it yourself!" Well? Now you are not a member of the Church of the Holy Church, you can’t go to the church for help, and you don’t have any money on you, food and housing are all problems, don’t tell me you’re going to sleep in the wild.”

"I have the experience of lurking in the sewer for a whole year. It is not a problem to survive in a big city penniless."

"I saved you from the Holy Church to let you do these things?" Xia Chuanhu patted her on the head angrily, "Now follow me and Cheng Zi with peace of mind, there is no need to fight with Cheng Zi." Acting alone as before, you have to learn to rely on others, Xier—is this arrangement okay, Chengzi."

"You have arranged everything, what else can I say?"

Cangqi Chengzi spread his hands and said that he didn't care: "Then how about going to solve the problem of accommodation first? Just find a hotel to put your luggage, and then go have dinner? I don't know after so many years, the hotel I like Are you still here?"

"I'm fine for dinner, but I don't need to go to the hotel. If I want to stay, I have a better place than the hotel."

What better place than a hotel?

Cang Qicheng frowned: "Where?"

"You'll know when you come with me. I think you, Cheng Zi, should be very familiar with that place."

45. The No. [-] shadow player, Al Quite

The place Natsukawatora took Aozaki Touko and Shiel to was an apartment building near the private Misaki High School.

Looking at the apartment in front of him, and then at the surrounding situation, Aoqi Chengzi probably knew why Xia Chuanhu wanted to live here.Although so many years have passed, some changes have taken place around, but it can still be seen in general.

This is the place where Xia Chuanhu, Alquite, Grey, and Aozaki Aoko lived back then.
