I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

After a pause of less than a second, Lixiang replied: "I have a little relationship with the Animsfia family."

"what?!"

Suddenly, Lixiang's answer couldn't help but make Ambrogio's eyes widen. Does he actually have something to do with 【Twelve Monarchs (Lord)】? !

He did not doubt that Lixiang was using the name of the Animsfia family as a fake tiger, because the authority of the [Twelve Lords (Lord)] at the top of the clock tower is absolutely inviolable in the world of magicians, and there is no Which blind guy dares to offend the monarch.

...So, is this guy actually from the Animsfia family? !

... No... that's impossible... If he's from the Animsfia family, why isn't his surname Animsfia?

...Wait...Even if he didn't inherit the monarch's surname, the guy who dared to declare the monarch's name must be a branch of the Animsfia family...

...In other words... this guy... is also a character from a big family...?

The pupils of Ambrogio's wide-open eyes are dilated and out of focus, as if they were about to die.

……

.........

…………

...hateful, hateful, hateful...

Damn it!Why did the one who appeared in front of me be another magician with the blood of a big family! ?why why! ?

damn it!Why are they all descended from famous families! ! !My achievements in the clock tower are worthless! ! !And my family has only continued for four generations? !

Those damned old men! ! !What did they do when they were alive? ! !Have you all gone shopping? ! !

The psychologically distorted man couldn't help cursing the magicians of previous generations of his family for a moment.

The magician, who never looked for the source of the problem in himself, suddenly turned his eyes to Lixiang in front of him again amidst a roar full of anger in his heart.

Unforgivable... unforgivable...! ! !

It's all the fault of this kind of guy from a famous family... They occupy more talents and resources than me, so that I have no way to compare with them when I come from a humble background, and let me be looked down upon by others every time! ! !

No... no... no! ! !This kind of guy must be taught the deepest lesson.

In Venice now, it is impossible for any bullshit monarch to extend its tentacles here!So... Even if you kill him, it doesn't matter at all...?

Lixiang turned his eyes slightly, but he didn't notice that he was just trying to scare off the guy who was not easy to get along with by disguising his identity, but Ambrogio's twisted mind However, it directly caused disaster for Lixiang himself.

Kill him...you have to kill him...

Anyway, even with him alone and these three wastes, it is impossible to escape the current Venice, so it doesn't matter even if you kill a member of the monarch's family...! ?

That's right...to kill him, just use the power he got, this kind of infallible power...to kill him...and then see if he has a useful magic dress to keep him alive.

Maybe... he also has a good quality magic circuit...

That's right...that's it...just kill it like this——

"Ambrogio?"

Lixiang frowned slightly, and during the pause, he felt that Ambrogio was stunned, and he didn't know what he was doing.

"Oh! It's nothing, Fujimaru Tachika...Since this is the case...it's not early, you'd better go to rest..."

Only then did Ambrogio react, and then all the expressions on his face just now returned to the beginning, and after saying something to Lixiang blankly, he turned and left.

In fact, if Ambrogio hadn't left, with his extremely distorted character, he would have done it directly.

But he also knew that the time was not the time for him to do it. Although the three trash were useless at all, it would not be worth it if the magic bullets with perfect accuracy were wasted on them.

Looking at the back of Ambrogio leaving, Lixiang sighed. To be honest, he would rather face the anti-heroes with the first two singularities, and he didn't want to get along too much with Ambrogio in front of him. .

"Oh, what's the matter? Lixiang-kun?"

Suddenly, Moriarty patted Lixiang's shoulder, but apart from the black cloak touched by his fingertips, he also felt a trace of hard texture like armor.

"It's nothing, old professor." Li Xiang exhaled, and subconsciously wanted to pat his hand off his shoulder, but he still didn't do that.

"Ugh... Are you worried about that guy?"

Uncle's voice made people feel extremely uncomfortable from the mouth of a child, and the writer who wrote the fairy tale said with a sneer: "For the guy who does everything for himself... he is indeed an annoying scum."

"People like him always take everything in front of them as their own, whether it's food, resources... human life."

"He fantasizes that he can be above everything else, and wants to trample everyone under his feet. Usually, he is fine, but in this chaotic time, he is the most troublesome existence."

"Well, that's right, even Lixiang, you have already felt it, right?" Moriarty looked at Lixiang and said, with a bewitching smile in his blue eyes.

"Oh, what a horrible fellow! That fellow even wants to kill everyone! As long as he lives alone."

Moriarty didn't care that his words would be heard by the departing Ambrogio, and his attention was all on the boy in front of him.

"So... what do you want to say, old professor."

Lixiang exhaled, and he knew that what Professor Moriarty said would probably not do anything good.

"Of course it is..."

The "ordinary" mathematics professor raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck as if nothing had happened. His every move was under the watchful eyes of the other two.

"Hey... Moriarty, you are too..."

Andersen couldn't stand it anymore, he couldn't help but want to say something to Moriarty, but the old professor made a stop gesture.

Aronax didn't say anything, because he was very clear about the choice the boy in front of him would make.

"I'm so sorry, old professor."

Almost without hesitation, Li Xiang rejected Moriarty's suggestion, "I would never do such a thing anyway."

"Can't do this kind of thing?" Moriarty looked a little unbelievable: "Anyhow?"

"anyway."

Li Xiang repeated what he said word by word.

"Okay, then Lixiang, you can sleep with me in the library on the first floor, let's go."

Aronnax, who had guessed Lixiang's decision, showed a smile on his face, then grabbed Lixiang and walked to the corridor behind the hall.

"Hey, I said you are interesting, aren't you?"

Moriarty's voice came from behind Lixiang.

Chapter 9: Tea in the Late Night and the Maiden in the Mist

In Venice, which is filled with magic fog, everything looks gray except for the only lights on the side of the road.

But it is precisely because of the thick magic fog that the day and night of Venice become more distinct. During the day, Venice is gray, while at night, there is only darkness and a beautiful melody that echoes quietly.

"call……"

Lixiang let out a breath slowly, what happened today is really overwhelming...

"Huh? What's the matter? Lixiang?"

Suddenly, the door of the library was pushed open, and Aronnax walked into the library with two cups. Under the dim light of the oil lamp, Li Xiang could also see the heat rising from the cups.

"You shouldn't be very used to it here, right? After all, there are so many monsters outside."

The French professor sat at the table and handed the teacup to Lixiang: "Let's have a cup of tea and relax."

"Tea?" Li Xiang froze for a moment.

Only then did he notice that what Professor Aronnax handed him was not coffee or cocoa, but tea, authentic Chinese tea.

"Is... uh, or should I say... is there any tea here?"

Looking at the turquoise leaves tumbling in the hot water in the cup, Li Xiang couldn't help asking.

Now it is 1532, which is the 16th century. At this time, logically speaking, there should be no tea in Europe, right...?

"Hmm... I'm not very clear about this. I didn't find coffee or cocoa, but it may be because this is Venice. The big ships moored at the pier here can reach almost any corner of the world, such as Chinese tea. The product is definitely a hot seller.”

Professors who have roamed around in various places have naturally tasted this drink from the ancient oriental country, so it is also handy to brew.

"Looking at your appearance, Lixiang, you are also from the East, right?"

"Ah."

Li Xiang paused for a moment, then hummed nasally while drinking tea.

"Countries in the East are very mysterious."

Putting the teacup on the table, Professor Aronnax tapped the gorgeous and thick table with his index finger, and his blue eyes revealed a trace of memory and yearning.

"Because the distance between each other is too far... It seems that we know little about the West."

"Ah."

The professor nodded and said, "In my time, fortunately, I was a biologist, and I had to travel all over the world to be lucky enough to have been to so many places."

"Uh... because of the Nautilus?"

Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, and asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"It can be said yes, or it can be said no."

Aronax said somewhat ambiguously: "Even without the help of the Nautilus, I think with my character, I will definitely try my best to go to more places and explore more things I don't know."

"Is that so..."

Li Xiang nodded somewhat half-understanding.

"But then again, Lixiang, you are the same, right?"

Under the dim light, the face reflected by the not-clear tea was even more sallow.

"You said it just now, right? Because the magician's betrayal directly led to a catastrophe that threatened the entire history of mankind."

"And you are the last trump card left by the whole world, the singularity that was destroyed in order to correct the distortion in history... that is here."

Aronax said with a sigh: "After all, I never knew that this kind of thing would happen in Venice in 1532."

"How do you feel about all this you need to face?"

"What do you think of all this...?"

Li Xiang paused for a moment, as if thinking, but after a short while, he shook his head lightly and said, "I... don't know, is this the answer?"

"There is no reason in this world to act without knowing it?" Aronnax closed his eyes slightly to adapt to the surrounding light, "So, even what you are facing is not just It's just passive acceptance."

"Your exploration is like my previous adventure, but compared to me who only need to focus on pursuing the truth, your situation is undoubtedly more difficult and more dangerous."

"Ah, the city of the future is burning with karmic flames, the hundred-year-old battlefield has become the lair of evil dragons, and the empire a thousand years ago is divided into two. It must be very difficult to face this situation? This is like a war... No, This is a war in the history of mankind."

"........."

This epic epic is magnificent, but Lixiang is the only one who can respond in this war.

"Are you scared?"

Looking at the silent Lixiang, the professor asked.

"Well... how should I put it... You can say yes or no, after all, even if you are afraid, there is nothing you can do, because everything in front of you needs to be faced by me."

Li Xiang put down the teacup in his hands at a loss, the churning tea leaves had slowly settled to the bottom of the cup, and little bubbles disappeared into the tea.

Sometimes he was really afraid of facing those terrible monsters and powerful enemies, like when he was in Orleans, Achilles' glance could make his hair stand on end.

"Well, fear, worry, fear, these are very normal emotions that humans will have, just like when I fell off the Lincoln, at that time I really thought I was done."

"But I entered the Nautilus with my companions and started our expedition, and you... are also accompanied by servants."

Aronax showed a smile: "But all the pioneers are undoubtedly lonely, but they are not alone, because it is what the predecessors have done that can bring us to this point. "

"Ah, in short, just relax. After all, we have already come here. It is impossible not to grit your teeth and persevere, just like the three of us back then. If we didn't explain clearly at that time, we would be punished by Captain Nemo." Throw overboard."

As if to lighten the subject a bit, the Aronnax couldn't do without their French jokes that were beyond comprehension.
