Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

【Forced Magic Essay——】

【Contractors: Xia Yuan, Aozaki Orange】

【Contract content——】

"First, the crown magician, Aozaki Yuko will need to settle in Tokyo as the guardian of the two rituals in the next three years."

"Second, within the contract time stipulated in the contract essay, [Contractor—Aozaki Orange] must do her best to be responsible for the safety of the two ceremonies and avoid any danger to her"

"Third, during the contract period, Aozaki Orange is not allowed to make any threats or harmful actions to the two rituals. Both indirect and direct factors must be completely eliminated."

【An oath made to the source and soul must not be broken. ]

Glancing at the three magic essays written by Xia Yuan on the parchment, Aang Qi Chengzi frowned, glanced at Xia Yuan, and then looked at the contract carefully.

The content of this contract is very clear and there are no textual loopholes.

As a reward for employment, what he can get is a precious magic ore that contains the principles of law, and a promise from the third magician in the future. And what he has to pay is to be responsible for protecting the safety of the little girl named Liangli in front of him for three years.

Such a transaction is simply not equal.

He stayed wherever he was, and he had nothing to lose by settling in Tokyo. Anyway, it was impossible for the idiots in the Clock Tower to reach out to Southeast Asia and arrest him with great fanfare.

But it was this treaty that allowed her to take advantage of everything that made Aozaki Orange feel uneasy. She had no way of figuring out the intentions of the guy in front of her.

He made such a request just to protect the girl. Does the girl in front of him have some special potential that is equal to or even surpasses these conditions?

Seriously, she was curious.

What kind of abnormality is there in the girl in front of me that would make the Third Magician pay such a price to protect her? If possible, she really wanted to explore it.

However, after rubbing the white gem in her hand, her mind quickly calmed down. She didn't think she was qualified to go head-to-head with a magician.

Compared with the famous second method and the fifth method that he has seen with his own eyes, the third method is the most mysterious and unpredictable. Even he may overturn. Although his magic is powerful and magical, it is by no means invincible, Aozaki. Orange knows this very well.

Otherwise she wouldn't have been defeated by Qingzi

"For me, although the three items you proposed will bring some restrictions to me, compared to the price you pay, this trouble is negligible. I have no reason to refuse such a transaction."

"So you accepted it?"

"Well, I can accept that."After carefully considering the conditions proposed by Xia Yuan, Aang Qi Chengzi took a puff of cigarette, frowned slightly, and asked:"But what is your purpose? What exactly do you want to do by proposing such unequal conditions? Could it be that……"

Her eyes fell on Liang Li, who had been sitting silently next to Xia Yuan.

"This girl is very important to you, right? Is she your illegitimate daughter? Or your lover or something?"

"puff——！"

These shocking words made Xia Yuan, who was drinking coffee, lose his expression and look at this shameless woman with a speechless face.

The expressions of the two men suddenly froze, and they glanced at Xia Yuan warily.

Is this guy really a perverted lolicon?

"of course not!"

"What strange things are you, a woman, thinking about? How could I possibly have such an illegitimate daughter, and I don't look like a pervert who would be interested in a junior high school student, right?"

"Is not it? If you are willing to pay such a price for her, besides being parents, you are also just lovers. Aren't you brother and sister?"

Aozaki Orange raised his eyebrows.

"Put away your random thoughts, or this kind of meaningless temptation, Miss Aozaki Orange."

Xia Yuan raised his hand to stop her.

"As this employer, I don’t need to explain the specific reasons to you. You only need to answer me one thing. Do you accept this condition and agree to conclude this contract?"

"It took three years to exchange for a gem containing the second method and a promise from the third magic user. With this generous condition, you can make a lot of money. I believe you should be very aware of this matter. So there is no need to continue with meaningless temptations."

Xia Yuan easily broke through Aang Qi Chengzi's temptation.

"Tsk, it’s really unpleasant. Your smug look reminds me of that idiot."

Aozaki Chengzi smacked his lips, then stopped testing and raised his hand to sign his name on the parchment.

【Aozaki Orange】

"However, the contract is established, and I will accept your commission."

"So, happy working together."

Seeing Aang Qi Chengzi sign the name of the essay, Xia Yuan also had a smile on his face, and he also bit his finger and signed his name on it.

【Xia Yuan】

Witness——【Origin】

Mortgage——【soul】

——The contract is hereby established.

Just like the magic contract signed with Kenneth for the first time, the moment the two signed their names, a strange magic and connection descended on their souls. This was proof that the contract had taken effect.

However, this time it felt a little special, and he didn't feel any special restraint.

Is it because the body does it for itself in the root style?

"Put this thing away, style"

"You want to give this to me?"

Looking at the contract that Xia Yuan pushed in front of her, the two of them were stunned.

Although she didn't understand the world over there, she could still see the importance of this contract from the conversation between the two just now, and The purpose of signing this contract is for himself.

He may be in danger in the next three years, and this man named Xia Yuan wants to protect himself, so this man he has never met is for himself. The red-haired woman signed a contract.

But why? Why did he help him to this extent? Why did he know about Zhi's existence when they first met? When did they meet once? When she was younger?

At this moment, her mind was full of questions.

"Don't think too much, just keep it."

Xia Yuan rubbed Liang Li's head and said:"The woman in front of me, no, I should say the eldest sister. Although she doesn't look very reliable, her strength is absolutely impeccable."

"After I leave, if you encounter any difficulties or weird things in the future, just go to her directly and she will be able to help you solve it. And you have to be careful. In the next period of time, you may be targeted by some unfriendly guys. Remember to be careful."

"how about you?"Liang Li asked subconsciously.

"me?"

"I still have some things to do, and I can't stay by your side all the time, and you also have your own life, so I can't take you to the clock tower. I can only entrust this guy to protect you."

After saying that, Xia Yuan glanced at Aang Qi Cheng Zi, who was sitting opposite.

Aang Qi Cheng Zi was a serious magician with the highest rank in the Clock Tower. Because her talent was too terrifying, her teacher suggested that it be sealed up, so she suffered The Clock Tower has the most cerebral seal designation system, so there is no need to question her strength and demonic attainments. With her help, the difficulties in the two rituals are nothing at all.

"Clock tower? Are you from Clock Tower? Why didn't I know when the third magician suddenly appeared in the clock tower? However, since you possess the gem of the second method, it means that you have been in contact with the Demonic Grand Marshal, and these things are not difficult to explain."

Listening to Aang Qi Chengzi's very reasonable statement, Xia Yuan did not rush to refute, but just listened silently as she continued to reason.

"Help me deal with Qingzi. If these words were said by another magician, I would definitely think that person was playing tricks on me. But if it’s you, then I’ll just wait and see. When the time comes for the third magician, let me take a good look at your strength."

"then as you wish"

"Hey, little girl over there. This thing is given to you. If you encounter any difficulties, just open this envelope. There is my contact information in it. I will come to you in a few days."

Aozaki Orange took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the two rituals. Then he stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers, picked up the suitcase at his feet and stood up to leave.

At the same moment, Xia Yuan also raised his hand, and then"Click"!"Snap your fingers.

Remove all the suggestion magic in the whole room and leave here with the two rituals.

……

……

At night.

In the courtyard of the Ayogi Group in Tokyo.

Unknowingly, the time has arrived at night. In the Japanese-style courtyard, the cool moonlight is shining in the courtyard, and the reflection of the moon is looming in the pool water.

Next to the tea table in the main courtyard of the courtyard were two futons, two servings of hot tea and hot food, and two figures sitting next to the tea table.

Xia Yuan and Li Li were sitting opposite each other at the teahouse, sipping tea, but neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent for a while.

Because Xia Yuan hinted at magic, the memory of the two bodyguards was that he escorted the eldest lady home and then left. Shi Guiguo also randomly found an excuse to talk to his family.

Xia Yuan, on the other hand, walked in openly and openly, as if he was in a deserted place, and no one noticed him.

"If there is anything you want to know, please take this time to ask me, Shiki."

Xia Yuan sipped the hot tea in Pingkou's hand and took the lead in breaking the silence in the atmosphere, saying

"……"

The personality that currently dominates the body is still Liang Ritual. After meeting in the afternoon, Liang Yizhi's consciousness has never appeared again, and Liang Ritual is still dominant from beginning to end.

Compared with Liang Yizhi, who has a carefree boyish personality, Liang Yizhi's temperament is much colder, and there is no root-like tolerance. The compatibility between her and Xia Yuan is not good.

"Hmm... have we met?"

Liang Li stared at Xia Yuan seriously and asked seriously:"I am sure I have never seen anyone like you, otherwise I would never have no impression. And I don't think anyone at home would know a guy like you and let you do this."

"for example?"

After hearing this, Xia Yuan nodded, acquiescing to her guess.���

"Make a deal with that woman."

There was a solemn look in Liang Li's eyes,"Although there is no basis, my intuition still tells me that the woman named Aozaki Orange is very dangerous, and she may be carrying many lives."

"That's it……"Xia Yuan smiled slightly

"What a keen intuition. As you can imagine, Aozaki Orange is indeed not a simple guy. As I said before, she is one of the few dangerous beings in the entire world. Xia

Yuan nodded and continued:"But you don't have to worry about this. Since she is willing to sign a contract with me, it means that she will definitely abide by the agreement, and the spirit of the contract must exist under the compulsion of the magic essay.""

"Likewise, don't you think I'm in danger? Being able to trade with her on an equal footing means that I am not a simple guy, right? Maybe I am also an extremely dangerous person. Are not you afraid?"

"……"

There was a moment of silence.

Extremely dangerous guy? No, although Xia Yuan's body is full of secrets and he also comes from a world beyond his reach, Liang Ritual's intuition told him.

Xia Yuan is definitely not a dangerous guy. On the contrary, he has an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness with him. The same goes for Liang Yizhi, which is why he was able to negotiate with Xia Yuan in such a short time.

Therefore, after only a brief contact, Liang Ribi, like Liang Yizhi, was able to lower his guard against this stranger and allow this guy of unknown origin to enter his home.

This feeling was indeed too strange, but she couldn't tell why it was so strange. As if this is how it should be

"So, do you have any other questions for me? If you are still curious, you can ask me. If I know something, I can answer it."

Can you answer...

Hearing this, Liang Li's eyes blinked slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something? She suddenly turned her head and said to Xia Yuan:"So, have you ever killed anyone?"

"ah?"

I have to say that it is quite strange that the topic suddenly changed from the small talk just now to this aspect. This sudden inquiry made Xia Yuan a little puzzled.

He thought she would be more concerned about his origins and the relationship with her. Relationship, I didn't expect that after Liang Riyan just asked, the conversation suddenly changed to the question of whether he had killed anyone.

This question was really...

Glancing at Liang Riyan, who was staring at him seriously, Xia Yuan shook his head. shook his head

"Because...him?"

After a brief thought, he probably understood what was going on? And why did Liang Yi Zhi ask this question?

The reason was probably because of that personality - Liang Yi Zhi. So Xia Yuan then answered her question very carefully.

"I have killed, but it can be said that I have not killed."

"Um? ? What is this answer? Are you being dumb?"

Liang Li frowned and expressed his doubts with subtle expressions. Obviously he was not satisfied with Xia Yuan's answer.

If you have killed, you have killed. If you have not killed, you have not killed. If you have killed, you have not killed. , such an answer is impossible no matter how you think about it.

"My situation is very unique."Xia Yuan shook his head, and then solved her confusion.

"It can be said that I just killed people not long ago, but in fact they can no longer be counted as people. One of them is a walking zombie who abandoned his dreams and lived in a dark corner for five hundred years as a parasite in other people's bodies. That old bug can no longer be considered a human being, it is just an undead spirit remaining in the world, so I ignited his soul with flames so that he could be truly freed.

So, Shiki, do you think that the undead that abandon their identity as humans and live as parasites in other people's bodies, constantly changing their bodies, can they really be considered human beings?"

"Well……"

After thinking for a while, Liang Li shook his head and replied:"If such a existence really exists, it is indeed not a human being. It can probably only be compared with insects.""

"Yes, it's just a bug. Burning it in flames is the greatest salvation."

"So do you want to listen to the second story again? Here's the thing about being a hopeless bastard."

The two men nodded, very interested in the story told by Xia Yuan.

"Okay, then come and listen to it"

"Some time ago, a murderer appeared in the city where I live. He is very young, even less than twenty years old. He only targets acquaintances or kind-hearted people because such people are more likely to be killed by him without any defense."

"The goal of his murder was just to show what he thought was the beauty of death. He kept traveling between cities and killed dozens of innocent lives, including women and children. Until I caught him, he was still plausibly telling me about that nonsense art. There was no fear or remorse, and he didn't even realize that his behavior was wrong. So Shiki, do you think such a guy can really be considered a human being?"

"……Rubbish that bullies the weak and fears the strong, such a guy cannot be considered a human being, not even worthy of being a member of the evil party."

After listening to Yuyu Ryunosuke's story, a look of disgust appeared on Ryo Rishi's face.

It would not be an exaggeration to call such a guy a devil.

"So you killed him?"

"No, that would be too cheap for him."Xia Yuan shook his head

"When I caught him, I broke off his limbs and interrogated him about his motives, about what the so-called bullshit art was. Then I released the blood according to the steps he described, letting it become the so-called art, but I retained my last breath and threw it in front of the family members of the victim. I don’t need to explain what his ending is."

Xia Yuan still remembers the scene when he visited Ryunosuke Uyu after he was resurrected. The guy was still clamoring about the so-called art of death until his limbs were broken by him. He still didn't know fear or repentance.

So he used the third Fa made a small modification to his soul, making Uyu Ryunosuke's perception of pain expand several times, then bled him, cut open his body, and dragged him to the mirror to admire the achievements made by his body. Art, treating him again and again when he was about to die, until he begged for mercy.

In Xia Yuan's view, dealing with a person like Yu Sheng Ryunosuke who was born evil, had no conscience, and did not even know that he was doing evil. If you are a bastard, you must use the right medicine.

Since you like that nonsense art of death, I will let you become an art. A true artist must have the consciousness to devote himself to art. Since you pursue the art of death, then I will. Help you turn your life into art

"I've almost finished talking about my story, so Shi, let's go back and rest. You have classes tomorrow. It's not a good habit to go to bed late and get up late to delay your studies.

Shi asked,"Are you leaving?""

"Well, but at this time tomorrow, I will come here to see you again"

"Still want to tell stories?"

"No, although Aozaki Orange has been arranged to protect you in Tokyo, before I leave, I will also teach you some tips and help you with some training so that you can be stronger even when facing guys from the other world in the future. Don't feel caught off guard"

"……Is this what you call magic?"Hearing this, a rare expression of interest appeared on Liang Li's face.

After all, at the age when junior high school students are the most curious and mentally smart, no boy or girl can refuse something as unknown and cool as magic.

Even if Not long ago, Xia Yuan was happy for a long time after the count helped him call him a magician.

"Yes, it is magic, not only the suggestion magic that I promised to teach, but also some basic strengthening magic. I will teach you during this period. In short, study hard, it will be very helpful for your future."

Having said this, Xia Yuan stood up and glanced at the two rituals who were still thinking about it. After thinking about it, he did not forget to add:"By the way, there is one more thing."

"What's up?"

"If one day you think Zhi has killed someone, please contact me directly."

"This is a special familiar I made. It can help you contact me at any time and can also help you detect some invisible dangers, such as detecting magic."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan raised his hand and used magic power to outline a light blue butterfly in mid-air, then lit its eyes with his index finger to create it.

"Go ahead and fly to Shiki."

Following Xia Yuan's instructions, the light blue butterfly slowly circled in the air, and finally flew to Liang Li's hair, and then lay there quietly, like a special headdress. From the appearance It goes well with the two ceremonies and adds a little more indifferent temperament to her body.

"I see."

The two of them touched the blue butterfly attached to their hair.

"Yeah, then I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow, Shiki."

Sasha - the evening breeze blew, the leaves flew down, and the figure in the small courtyard had disappeared, leaving only the girl still sitting at the tea table quietly staring at the night sky.

At the same time, at the junction of a space-time rift In this place, the Demonic Grand Marshal who was responsible for observing countless parallel worlds. Gem Man knocked on the table, grinned an intriguing smile, and then uttered the same words as the being named [Two Ritual].

"——interesting."
