I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the sky is full of murders and arson.

Now that the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a good time to kill people and set fires.

It's a pity that at this time, the person who should be killed is already dead, the fire has long been burned out, and the group of people who committed murder, arson and demolition have already left the scene of the crime and returned to the "den", no, the stronghold.

The wounded were pushed into the workroom for emergency treatment.

The "criminals" who had worked hard for half the night each found a place to rest.

In the end, only one of the main criminals was left hiding in the warehouse counting the loot.

"A volume of the Tiantai Sect's secret enchantment technique."

"A copy of Araya's notes."

The former condenses 1,400 years of accumulation of Japanese Buddhism, and the latter brings together Araya Soren's two hundred years of experience.

"The value of these two scrolls is comparable to the command spell technology left by the old insect. They are both unique treasures that have reached the pinnacle in a certain field. Hehe, I can come up with such a strategy in such a situation. I'm really impressed. I admire my own brain.”

Holding a scroll in one hand, Shenji laughed so much that his saliva drooled. He looked so stupid.

When he had laughed enough, he let go of the two scrolls and took out a tube-shaped object that was thick at both ends and thin in the middle, no more than four centimeters in length, from a special secret compartment in his waist bag.

This is a finger bone. The surface of the bone is warm and moist, exuding a luster like jade, which stands out in the dark warehouse.

Clamping this phalanx with his hands, a refreshing force was transmitted into the body through the skin. In an instant, Shenji felt that his whole body was much more energetic, and the excitement in his heart was much calmer.

Peace of mind and rejuvenation of the spirit, this short finger bone has such a magical effect.

This is the biggest trophy that Shen Er has harvested tonight - the relics left behind by the Buddhist saint after his death.

Relics originate from Sanskrit and are the general name for Indian bodies after death. In Buddhism, the hair, bones, ashes, etc. left behind by a monk after his death are all called relics. Relics are naturally felt by monks due to the merits of precepts, concentration, and wisdom during their lifetime. They are Buddhist holy objects. Each relic has incredible power. The power of Araya Zonglian is extremely closely related to this relic.

Unlike the enchantment technique that requires long-term study, this relic can greatly improve Shenji's strength in a short period of time. With the protection of the Buddha's bone relics, even if Lorelea inherited Barthemero's seal of origin and her strength increased dramatically, Shinji would still have the confidence to compete with her.

"Hmph, I won't lose to you so easily, Her Majesty the Queen."

Shenji firmly grasped the relic in his palm, as if he had grasped the future.

The moment the light of the relic was covered by the hand, the lights in the warehouse suddenly turned on.

Of course, the lights were not turned on automatically, but were turned on by someone. The puppet master with long orange hair and the pure white Winter Saint walked into the warehouse.

"Ah, you're here, why don't you turn on the light?" Cheng Zixiao was startled.

"I'm studying the relic left by Araya Soren. This thing will glow on its own." Shinji spread his hand and placed the relic directly in Cheng Zi's hand.

The fatigue on Chengzi's face was quickly relieved: "What a good thing. I have heard rumors that Buddhist relics can be regarded as another kind of magic engraving. Now it seems that this may be true."

"Is there such a thing?" Justina asked curiously. She was born in the Einzbern family in the West and knew very little about the mysteries of the East.

"Feel it for yourself." Chengzi handed the relic to Justisa.

"This is——!" Justisa quickly sensed something unusual.

Orange explained: "Magic seal is the stable crystallization of the magician's knowledge and achievements, and it is a fixed mystery. From this point of view, the same is true for the relics that carry the wisdom and insights of Buddhist saints. Araya buried the relics in his body Strengthening oneself is equivalent to the magician inheriting the seal from the previous generation. Of course, this limitation is much greater than the inheritance of the magic seal."

"Why?" Justeza asked.

"The problem of matching and rejection. Magic engraved transplantation is similar to organ transplantation. The success rate of matching between relatives is much greater than that of unrelated people, and the rejection reaction after transplantation is also much smaller. Although The lack of blood relationship does not mean that there is no match, but the probability is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. This is one of the reasons why the entire magic world attaches great importance to blood relationship."

"Then why can't the relics work?" Justice asked.

"Because except in Japan, monks cannot get married, let alone have children."

Shinji had already guessed the reason when Orange mentioned the issue of rejection. He started complaining about the disadvantage of Japanese monks being able to get married and have children when he was in the second grade of middle school, and he has been complaining about it for two lifetimes.

"Perhaps it is precisely because of the rules and regulations that the relics can function independently even if they are not implanted in the human body. Although the effect is not as good as implanting it in the human body, it is still an advantage compared to the fact that the magic engraving must be implanted. From In this respect, Araya’s relics are not under Aruba’s magic seal.”

"What? Aruba's magic seal?"

After hearing Cheng Zi's words, Shenji didn't react for a moment.

"That's right." Chengzi glanced at Shenji strangely, "You wouldn't think that Aruba doesn't have magic marks like me, right? He is a direct descendant of the famous Agrippa, Cornelius. The family’s history is no worse than that of some lords’ families.”

After saying this, Shenji's eyes immediately changed, and the greedy heat almost made Aruba's cold body regain its temperature.

"That's why you want to bring his body back?"

"if not?"

"I thought you were collecting his body out of consideration for your classmate."

"I'm not that kind. I just don't want to waste such a good material. I peel off the engraving and feed the corpse to the familiar. The magician's body is the most advanced bait for monsters."

Cheng Zi sneered. Even without taking off her glasses, her body still exuded an aura as cold and dark as the abyss. This is the nature of the side of magician Aozaki Orange, which once caused a bloody storm and made many magicians afraid - "the red of pain".

However, this creepy temperament did not affect Shinji and Justisa. The former enjoyed Orange's unabashed attitude in front of her, while the latter was pure and natural.

"How are you going to deal with Aruba's magic seal? Just like what you did back then - oh, Aruba is dead, that method can no longer be used."

What Shinji mentioned is a dark history that many people don't want to mention.

After the color evaluation, Orange got the "orange" color. Many people despised Orange and called her "Red of Pain". Some of these people were directly killed by oranges, and others were imprisoned by oranges. Then they stripped off the magic markings through some means, and made magic rituals similar to familiars (guardians) without harming the magician's life and connection with the markings. beast).

From then on, no one dared to mention this taboo name in front of Cheng Zi, and this taboo name also had a new meaning - Chi, which brings pain to the enemy.

PS: Agrippa's full name is Cornelius Agrippa, 1486-1535, a contemporary scientist, philosopher, and Jewish mystical philosopher. He advocated that all Jewish books except the Old Testament should be destroyed, but He incurred the wrath of the clergy, and his books were banned from publication.

PS2: The gift made by Chengzi using magic seal has been destroyed by Qingzi.
