Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

"Well done, Master, your performance surprised me a little. An ordinary person can persist to this point."

The earl, who had quickly dealt with the large enemy force, turned around and saw the two skeleton soldiers lying next to Xia Yuan, and couldn't help but praise.

"Originally, I was a little worried when I saw that you were an ordinary person without magic circuits. It seems that I was overly worried."

"Haha, I'm an ordinary person... I'm really sorry to disappoint you."

I rested against the wall for a while, and the physical strength I had just consumed was slightly restored. At least I was able to calm down for a while and take a few breaths.

At the same time, my fear of the other world also became deeper. Just a few skeleton soldiers could make me angry. Now that I am in such a mess, what can those more advanced fantasy species or magicians do?

I only have a one-sided memory of the abilities of those magicians, and the only ones I fear are the followers. Now I find that I was so wrong. For me, those powerful magicians were no less threatening than my servants.

"well…���"

Looking at the pistol in his hand that was out of ammunition, he couldn't help but sigh.

Are things in the outer world so powerless against the demonic ways of the inner world?

In such a confused state, I am afraid that if I don't die in the prison tower, I will die in the Fourth Battle.

"……"

After calming down, Xia Yuan briefly moved his joints a few times, turned his head and looked at the earl:"The end of the first floor should be what you call the trial room, right?"

"That's right, the end of this corridor is the trial room where the sin of jealousy is stored."

"Then there should be some kind of gatekeeper in the first level, right? What is it? A heroic spirit, or an enemy of some kind?"

"this one……"

The Cave King shook his head,"I don't know either. You can only know if you walk in. You need to see for yourself.""

"Go and see for yourself? In other words, the gatekeeper is not fixed, but changes based on my memory and state of mind?"

"Hahaha, you are really sharp. Yes, I don’t know the identity of the gatekeeper. His identity depends on you and the gatekeeper, and now you are the gatekeeper who challenges this hell tower!"

"It's so noisy, Earl, when will you change your sudden problem? Be quiet, why are you shouting so loudly?"

Hearing the earl's suddenly loud laughter again, Xia Yuan was still a little unaccustomed to it. In this situation, he didn't have such a strong heart to make himself laugh. In this predicament, it was very difficult for him not to cry. Working hard.

A time traveler?

But also an ordinary person.

"Master, you are really boring at this point." He quickly calmed down. The earl looked at Xia Yuan who was still calm and couldn't help asking questions.

"Aren't you a little excited? Reveal the hidden truth, then defeat the enemies guarding the gate, and do your best to survive. This is a heroic story written by sin and redemption!"

"……"

When he was outside, the Earl could at least suppress his natural instincts when getting along with him. Did he completely let himself go in the prison tower? Why are there so many inner dramas?

In this situation, I am not him, and any normal person would not be able to laugh.

His expression twitched, but he still reluctantly answered:"Are you excited? If you try your best to fight with the count for survival, of course you will be full of motivation, but you are not very good at expressing it."

"Yeah? I'll trust you for now, but if you're so lonely, you won't be able to make friends outside, Master."

"……"

I don't want to be told by anyone but you that I can't make friends.

The earl just smiled, and then began to tease him again,"Everyone will commit the seven deadly sins, but I really can't imagine what the sin of jealousy looks like in people like you. You look like this With your calm appearance and tepid attitude, I must be bored by the person outside."

"It's not boring, but Earl, you did look cold at first."

"Are you indifferent? It is human nature to be indifferent to unfamiliar or unacceptable food. If you cannot achieve the level of being recognized by me, you are naturally not qualified to travel with me and cannot become my accomplice."

"This is the same no matter who I am, but judging from your words, you seem to get along well with me?"

The earl raised his eyebrows and explained.

"I just established a connection, but it's still far from becoming an accomplice. After all, I'm not a qualified Master yet."

"The judge of whether you are qualified or not is not you, but me. Whether you are qualified to be an accomplice or not depends on the judgment of the guy outside."

"Now, what makes me even more curious is, what exactly does the crime of jealousy you commit look like?"

"The sin of jealousy in my heart? If I have to say, the guy who best fits the crime of jealousy is probably him.……"

Think back to what Fujimaru Ritsuka saw in the prison tower.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yuan also thought of a certain figure under the earl's prompting, and his face began to change slightly.

"oh? Judging from your expression, you must have thought of something. That enemy must be very difficult to deal with, right? Krypton Hahaha, I am actually starting to look forward to it."

The earl, who became louder from time to time, looked at Xia Yuan with interest with a arrogant smile.

"Okay, that's fine as long as you're happy, but that enemy is very difficult to deal with, Earl, please don't be careless later, you'll suffer a loss."

Suffering a loss?

"Hahahaha, right? Having seen my strength, have you still made such a conclusion? This is really interesting. I am really looking forward to the sin of jealousy in your heart."

"However, before that, we still have to pack up these trophies."

"Trophies?"

Looking at the dust on the ground, except for the ashes that were directly burned to ashes by the count, he really didn't see any so-called trophies in this dark corridor.

But without explaining to him, after saying that, the count put on his cloak With a roll, the agile servant's speed suddenly exploded, and he swept across the corridor and rolled up bursts of smoke.

After a while, the figure returned to Xia Yuan and slowly stretched out his palm, which was a handful of dark purple dust.

"This is?"

"Magic dust."

Xia Yuan looked at the earl incomprehensively, and was about to ask, but the next second, his mouth suddenly became dry, and he saw that the earl had already poured a handful of dark purple dust into his mouth.

"Uh-huh……"

Xia Yuan was shocked and even speechless.

…………

"Cough cough cough……"

The heavy retching caused the tear glands in his eyes to begin to shed tears involuntarily. The turmoil in his mouth and stomach made him feel resisted.

The instant dryness made him unable to forget it, and the physical discomfort made it difficult for him to move.

"Do you feel it?"

The earl stared at Xia Yuan in surprise.

Unknown to him, he was holding a lit cigarette that had come out of Xia Yuan's pocket.

"Feel? What does it feel like?! You fed me a handful of ashes. Apart from physical discomfort, how else can I feel now?!"

"……That's not it."

The earl shook his head slightly and pointed at Xia Yuan's chest. It was a physical feeling, not a physiological one.

"I feel like vomiting, does that count?"

"……"

"Master, what I want you to feel is the magic in your body, how about it? Have you ever felt the magic flowing through your body?"

Magic power flows in the body?

"But I don’t have a magic circuit……"

The earl was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then took a deep breath:"The fact that you can summon me and come to the prison tower shows that you are qualified to become a magician. To say the least, only magicians can be given command spells. Magic crystals, and I want to use the magic materials here to help you stimulate your magic circuits"

"However, you really don’t have any common sense as a magician, Master. Although I am not proficient in magic, I have learned some basics from heroic spirits who have been exposed to it. Now I'm here to help you activate your magic circuit. Otherwise, with your current level of inexperience, you will have no chance of participating in the Holy Grail War or trying to survive the subsequent trials."

Holding his forehead, the earl felt a little speechless, but he still very patiently explained to Xia Yuan about the relationship between the summoning of heroic spirits and the magic circuit in the body.

After listening to his explanation, Xia Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up. People got excited

"You mean I can be a magician too?!"

"Theoretically speaking, it's possible, but you have to prepare for the worst. After all, I'm just a vengeful ghost, not a famous magician, so I can't guarantee whether the excitement will be more intense later. What an accident"

"certainly. After saying that

, the earl smiled charmingly:"If you are afraid, you can choose to refuse now. After all, you are the Master, and I can also refuse."……"

"I believe you, Count."Answer in seconds

"I won't force you, after all, I just……"

"Um? What did you just say?"

"I believe you, Count."

The serious look does not contain any falsehood. He will not admit his mistakes. The brilliance that appears in his eyes is trust and recognition.

Isn't there the slightest hint of flinching, let alone hesitation? This kind of trust is the trust that can be entrusted to the back. , it goes beyond the trust relationship between Master and Servant.

I am even a little jealous of the me outside. I am obviously a revenge ghost but I can always gain such trust from you.

"Really...I really can't do anything to you"

"Krypton Hahaha, that’s it. Since you have chosen to continue, then just endure it. I am a vengeful ghost without mercy. I will not stop because of your pain later! Make me aware, Master!"

"Oh! count!"
