Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

Time: two months ago.

Location: Tokyo

"Hey, uncle, are you following me?"

At a corner somewhere in the city, this young and energetic girl suddenly stopped. She was waiting at this corner for this strange man who had been following her unabashedly. She followed him from the beginning of school until he got closer. At home, this strange man was always following him, but he kept a proper distance and did not approach him rashly.

Was he worried about the two bodyguards beside him?

Although the two bodyguards beside him were indeed members of the Yangyi Group. She is a good fighter and has excellent fighting ability, but she always feels that this is not the reason.

"Miss...that strange guy has been following us since the school gate. He must have ulterior motives."

There was a hint of wariness on the bodyguard's face.

"Trafficker?"

"No, the abductors would not be so stupid. They would not dare to approach the lady so rashly with us around."

"Senior, do you think there are guys from other organizations who want to harm the lady?"

"Do they have the courage to attack the young lady directly?!"There was a hint of sternness in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"But it's better to be careful. You take the lady out of here first, and I'll go back and teach that guy a lesson."

One of the bodyguards wiped his sunglasses, took out a stick from his pocket, and prepared to take the initiative to teach Xia Yuan a lesson. By the way, he tortured him about his intentions of following them.

"That lady, let’s leave first."

Another bodyguard is preparing to leave here with two rituals.

"No, I'll just stay here with you and wait for that guy to come over."

Liang Li shook his head and rejected the bodyguard's suggestion.

"I feel like things are not that simple"

"But if there is danger……"

One of the men was still thinking of persuading the two men to give up this dangerous idea. As a result, I was easily choked back by the two rituals.

"Um? Can't you two deal with him alone?"

"Uh this? Then...senior?"

The younger bodyguard looked at the other one awkwardly, and that person couldn't help but sigh.

Having said this, if he refuses again, wouldn't he directly express his incompetence? Besides, there are As an old man like himself and another junior are here, he doesn't believe that Xia Yuan can cause any trouble.

"Okay... Then you will be responsible for protecting the good lady later."

"Got it, senior."

The young man in his twenties nodded, followed the middle-aged man's words, searched the surrounding terrain for hiding places, brought the two rituals to a relatively safe place, and took out the stick from his pocket, although he was The senior reached out with confidence, but he would also step forward to help beat the bad guys when the situation went wrong.

In the end, the three of them made a decision and chose to stop at a corner, waiting for Xia Yuan to come over.

……

……

A few minutes later.

At the corner, a middle-aged man stood in front of the two rituals holding a swinging stick. Another young man stood beside her, looking at Xia Yuan fiercely.

He held a bright weapon in his hand, and his attitude was very obvious.

Express: As long as you dare to come, don't blame us for being rude.

Compared to the two bodyguards who were very alert, the two people in the middle were more curious. What did this man want to do by following his group?

This place is now under the jurisdiction of the Ayongsi Group, and it will only take a few minutes for nearby members to arrive with support. If they really want to kidnap me, sending this person to do it on their own territory would be too disrespectful to the Ayongsi Group, right?

What on earth is he here for?

After taking a closer look, Liang Li could not help but frown.

She always felt that this man gave her a strange feeling. The figure was obviously very familiar and it seemed that he had seen that face before, but she was certain that this was the first time she had seen Xia Yuan.

"Hey, uncle, what do you want to do by following us all the way? Or is there anything you want to do? This is the territory of the Ayasi Group. Even if you wanted to kidnap me, you wouldn't be stupid enough to choose this place, right?"

Staring at Xia Yuan's face, the two felt more and more familiar, but no matter how much she thought about it, she could not find the impression of this person.

"Uncle, are you following me?"

"Not stalking, but following.

Xia Yuan, who was stared at by three people at the same time, did not feel any nervousness. Instead, he raised his hand and corrected her:"If you can, please don't call me uncle. I am only in my early twenties. Call me by my name or Big brother is all right, two ceremony ladies"

"Oh, you really know me, uncle, so you are following us."

"you guess? Or you can understand it however you want, but I am indeed here to find you, Shi"

"Suddenly he called me by my name. Are we familiar, uncle?"

"Well, we met once not long ago, but for you, today can actually be regarded as the first time we met."

"Bastard, is he really a guy sent by another organization? Let’s subdue him together!"

The simplest exchange ended. Although we haven't talked too much, some people felt that there was no need to communicate anymore.

In the next moment, the two bodyguards beside the two rituals immediately rushed towards Xia Yuan with weapons in their hands, shaking their hands. The stick hit him in the face without hesitation.

The attack was very decisive and very harsh.

If he were an ordinary person, he would probably be beaten to death by now.

However, It was too young for a being like him.

Xia Yuan just smiled, without moving, and then... he raised his palm and snapped his fingers, and blue butterflies were reflected in the pupils of the two bodyguards. Pattern. The movements of the hands also slowed down invariably, until they stood there blankly, without any movement.

"It has nothing to do with you here anymore, just pretend nothing happened and leave."

"yes."

The two bodyguards nodded blankly, and then walked away from Xia Yuan.

"what is this?!"

The two rituals seemed to have discovered something very interesting.

"It's just a simple hint of magic, but I added a little bit of my own understanding to it."Xia Yuan explained

"It feels like a dirty trick used by bad guys in movies to easily coax ignorant girls."Liang Li blinked his eyes and looked at Xia Yuan who had already walked in front of him.

"Uncle, are you a disgusting lolicon? Are you going to use this trick to hypnotize me into doing something like that later?"

"……"

Xia Yuan was speechless

"Are primary school students in this era so open-minded? What knowledge did your school teach you? Or... are you self-taught? Shiki, I have some doubts about the tutoring level of your Shiki family."

"You know me?!"

Liang Yi Zhi was a little surprised when he heard that his name was easily mentioned by Xia Yuan.

Liang Yi Zhi is another sub-personality of Liang Ritual.

It represents male, negation and the masculine side in Da Yuan Tai Chi, and has the right to use the body. The sub-personality"Organ" with the same tone and movements as a boy has the right to use the body, but does not have the right to control the body. It can only appear when the two lose consciousness, have weak consciousness, and actively exchange personalities; they are usually asleep.

It should be impossible for outsiders to know about this kind of thing except yourself and your family. How did this guy know? This guy is definitely not a simple guy!

"I know more than you think."

Xia Yuan glanced at the surprised Liang Yizhi, reached out and patted his head.

"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you going to try to resist? For example, take out the knife you hide in your sleeve and make a hole for me or something? Don't you worry if I do something weird to you?"

"Tsk, there’s nothing you can do if you’re afraid."

Liang Yizhi shook his head, threw away the knife in his sleeve, and said very firmly:"You can easily hypnotize the two bodyguards just now. This little trick will definitely be useless. If you want to hurt me, I will definitely run away. No more"

"You can see it very clearly"

"There's nothing I can do. If I don't see clearly, I won't live this long."

"He is really a big kid"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything weird to you. Come walk with me for a while, and I'll let you go later. As compensation, I can teach you the little magic trick I just did."

"What about hypnosis? Xia

Yuan shook his head:"Excuse me, it's not hypnosis, it's called suggestion magic.""

"Aren't they all the same? Aren't they all dirty tricks to trick young girls into sleeping with them?"

"You brat, who do you think I am? Xia Yuan covered his face,"You are obviously just a primary school student, so it is too early for you to have knowledge in this area.""

"I'm not some brat, I'm already in junior high school, okay?"

"That's just a brat, right?"

……

……

"Where are you taking me?"

"Just go to a coffee shop and take you to meet someone."

Take me to meet someone? Why does it feel a bit like a trafficker bringing an ignorant girl to his den to settle the debt?

Liang Yizhi was a little wary. The knife hidden in his sleeve was held tightly by him. If it hadn't been for several secret tests, , if he had confirmed that he could never defeat the guy in front of him, he would have already violently resisted.

However, now, he still has to look for opportunities, at least to show weakness and submission first.

"Oh, what kind of person? Is it someone like you who has mastered magical magic?"

"Yes, she is almost the same as me, both are magicians, but in terms of magic skills alone, she is still better than me at the moment. She is also a difficult woman. Anyway, you will know when you meet her."

"A very dangerous person?"

Liang Yizhi blinked, feeling a little curious about the person Xia Yuan mentioned.

"Yes, she can be said to be one of the most dangerous people in the world and a wanted criminal of the Magic Association. But there is no need to be afraid or nervous. As long as I stand by your side, there will be no danger. I still have a little bit of fighting power now."

"Billion points?"

"That's right, just a few hundred million dots."

Xia Yuan raised two fingers and replied with a smile.

……

……

After the negotiation just now, Xia Yuan and Liang Yizhi got along quite happily.

However, there were some interludes in the middle. When it was confirmed that Xia Yuan came to the front and was undefended, Zhi made a decisive move towards him, but before the knife in his hand could hit him, a finger firmly pressed against him. on the blade of the knife, and then broke the knife abruptly in front of him.

However, Xia Yuan didn't pay attention to his little move. He just dropped the knife in his hand and continued to lead the way. It seemed that the knife he just struck straight at his waist was just a joke to him.

Later, when even the weapon was lost, Liang Yizhi tried to escape twice, but after being caught back a few seconds later, he gave up the idea of continuing to cause trouble and could only follow Xia Yuan obediently.

After experiencing these several failed attempts and being caught instantly, he also realized that this person did not have any ill intentions towards him, and that he would never be able to escape on his own.

So he simply forgot about those things and chose to have a good conversation with this magical man.

As a result, we unexpectedly fell in love?

After the negotiation just now, Xia Yuan and Liang Yizhi got along quite happily.

Although he was still defensive, he was also more curious and inquisitive. This kid was very interested in me.

But that’s okay, curiosity is better than fear.

But that was just this independent individual named Ryogiori.

The other rightful owner's attitude towards him was a lot strange.

In the coffee shop, Xia Yuan was sitting at the dining table, looking at the indifferent girl beside him who suddenly switched to two ritual personalities, and felt a little headache.

Compared to Ryo Yiori, that boy has a character that can negotiate with him without any obstacles.

From the beginning to the end of the two ceremonies, it was difficult to complete three sentences with myself.

In other words, it would be strange for him, a stranger who forcibly abducted her to the coffee shop, not to be so indifferent.

But the personality gap between the two of them is probably too big. Why can’t that guy Aozaki Orange come over?

This atmosphere is too embarrassing.

Just when Xia Yuan was thinking about how to communicate with the two rituals, the seat in front of him was suddenly pulled out, and then a slender figure sat opposite his door.

"Phew - long wait, are you the magician who contacted me to meet?"

Aang Qi Chengzi looked at Xia Yuan in front of him for a few times, and then his eyes fell on the two rituals.

"Who is this? You didn't seem to say on the phone that you would bring anyone else here."

"Sorry, Miss Orange, this is my friend, just an ordinary person, and it will not have any impact on our conversation. And the commission we are going to talk about next is also related to her, so she also needs to be present."

"Something to do with her?"Chengzi was a little surprised.

"Yes, if you are worried, we can sign the magic essay directly"

"There's no need for that."

Chengzi took a deep breath on the cigarette, held it in his mouth and slowly spit it out.

"I still have some confidence in my own strength"

"Meow——"In response, a cat meowed from the suitcase at Aozaki Orange's feet. This was her confidence.

Sensing the murderous aura and magic power emanating from the box, the object was definitely a strong fantasy species.

However, Xia Yuan didn't pay attention to this. He just looked at the circles in her eyes and frowned to remind her.

"Miss Aozaki Orange, this is a public area. Isn't it bad to smoke?"

"There's no problem with that. Didn't you give the entire store a magic hint? No one cares about us at all, so what else do we need to pay attention to?"

Observe carefully, in this bustling coffee shop, both the customers and the service staff have blue butterfly patterns reflected in their eyes. At this moment, they are all busy with their own things, and at the same time Subconsciously, he avoided Xia Yuan's table.

This was because when Xia Yuan came in, he raised his hand and released a large-scale suggestion magic, making them ignore this place.

"Let’s get right to the point, claiming to be a young magician without any power. But first, I want to say that I no longer want to get involved in the messy things in the magic world over there."

"I also said that this is just an ordinary commission from me."

Facing Aang Qi Chengzi's warning, Xia Yuan did not hide any more and said straight to the point.

"The content of my commission is very simple. I want to hire Miss Orange Aozaki. During the period of my absence, she can take care of this little girl for me in Tokyo."

"Take care of this little girl?"

Aosaki Chengzi was stunned, then followed Xia Yuan's hand and glanced at the two rituals who were also at a loss. Then his eyes immediately shifted to Xia Yuan and said angrily:"You are provoking me. ? I'm not a babysitter!"

"Wait, please don't be angry yet, Miss Orange. This is a coffee shop. If you act rashly, innocent people will be hurt."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"It will reveal the mystery and your whereabouts. Although the number of clock tower magicians near Tokyo is not large, it is not impossible."

"So before saying no, how about hearing what I can offer you?"

"Oh, tell me first."

Ao Qi Cheng Zi raised his eyebrows and put down his raised hand. Apparently he didn't take what Xia Yuan said seriously.

Who is she? Ao Qi Cheng Zi? A crowned magician. Well, what kind of thing have I never seen before? ? What can this kid do to hire himself as a nanny for a little girl? No matter what he can do, he can't impress him?

"Leave this to you."

Xia Yuan took out a fragment of a colorful gem from his pocket and showed it to Aozaki Orange.

"This is?!"

This time it was Aozaki Orange's turn to be unable to sit still.

Although he had never seen the colored gemstone held in this guy's hand, he recognized the special aura exuding from it. There is no doubt that this is a piece of stone containing [ Magic Gem of Magic.

This kind of breath is completely different from Aozaki Aoko's fifth magic.

In addition to the fifth magic user, there is only one known magic user in this world.

Although his whereabouts were strange and he traveled through countless parallel worlds, she was lucky enough to meet that important figure several times when she was in the Clock Tower. The magical aura he exuded when he appeared was exactly the same as that of this gem.

So this is... Second method?

"Looks like I don't have to prove the authenticity of this gem."

Noting the surprised look on Aang Qi Chengzi's face, Xia Yuan knew that what he wanted had been achieved, so he pressed the gem on the table and handed it to her

"This is a fragment of a jeweled sword that contains the second magic ritual. I shouldn’t need to say more about the value of this thing in the magic world, right?"

"Yes, the value of such a thing is indeed inestimable. Whether it is to make a new magic furnace or to keep it for yourself to make a brand new gift with the characteristics of the second magic, it is an excellent choice, even if it is sold It can be easily sold to the lord for a sky-high price.

Aozaki Orange nodded:"It's such a precious and rare treasure. It makes me become a collector." If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't tell how deep you were, I'd probably just grab it right here."

As her words fell, Aozaki Orange's eyes became sharp for an instant, and the suitcase under her feet also let out a"Meow Meow" sound.——"The cry.

A sense of oppression came to him, and even the faces of the two men who had been sitting next to Xia Yuan became nervous.

This woman is also a monster.

However, Xia Yuan was not intimidated by such momentum.

He reached out and touched Liang Riyi's head, and said softly:"It's okay, as long as I'm here you won't be in any danger."

"Um."

The oppressive feeling that enveloped me at this moment also dissipated in Xia Yuan's words.

Another special magic power dissipated the pressure brought by Aozaki Orange.

He broke his own magic so easily.

This kid...

Seeing Xia Yuan's expression unchanged, Aang Qi Chengzi also stopped his meaningless testing.

"You are joking, although this gem is very important, compared to asking you to take action, it can only be regarded as just enough."

"Oh, you really dare to say that. To be able to take out such a precious treasure, you must not be some so-called magician without any powerful background, right?"

"No, as I said before, I only represent myself"

"Then can you continue to increase your chips? Although I'm a little tempted now, I'm not ready to take it. I plan to stay in this boring city for a long time."

No, you will.

Although he wanted to answer directly, Xia Yuan still smiled out of politeness and responded to her again.

"Of course, I can pay another price to make you more satisfied"

"oh? Tell me."Cheng Zi became a little interested.

"If you have a fight next time with your sister, the fifth magician Aozaki Aoko, I can be your assistant to help you suppress her firepower. Although I may be slightly inferior to her now, it won't be long before I am not inferior to her, or even surpass her."

Can you suppress Aoko's firepower?

"Are you kidding me? Do you think you have the power to suppress that monster Aoko?"

This condition made Aozaki Orange a little off guard.

Even compared to the gem core containing the second method, this condition made her feel more excited, but more unbelievable.

After all, the power that can suppress Aoko looks at the entire There are very few people in the magic world. Although she is very excited about this condition, because even after so many years, Aozaki Orange is still unwilling to lose to her sister Aozaki Aoko.

If you can fight back, trample that annoying guy Aoko under your feet, and see her miserable defeat with your own eyes

(That's really... very good. )

But she is not a fool either.

How could this unknown kid in the magic world have the power to suppress Aoko? It's nothing more than deceiving myself.

"Do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

"Of course not, I have no reason to lie to you about this kind of thing, let alone joking.

Xia Yuan shook his head and replied seriously:"I do have that kind of power." Because we are the same as your sister Aozaki Aoko, so we are all considered the same person."

"The same people? what you mean?"

Cheng Zi frowned slightly.

"It means literally, watch carefully."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan's eyes flashed with white light, and then he raised his palms, and the white light illuminated their faces.

He showed the magic aura unreservedly in front of Chengzi.

"This is my proof."

Such a magical aura? Such characteristics?! Is this a joke?!!

"——Could this be it?!"

In an instant, her heart went through turbulent waves. Aang Qi Chengzi raised her head and looked at Xia Yuan in shock. She subconsciously swallowed the smoke ring before she could spit it out.

"Can this be proven?"
