Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 208 I, Saw a Dragon
Light-white fingers slid across the dusty medicine bottles and the table top full of test tubes, and the thick dust left clear footprints.

In the deepest part of the huge workshop is a narrow corridor, with bookshelves on both sides, all of which are books about magic, and there are many ancient parchment scrolls. These parchment scrolls are medieval things and can be sold in the auction market. The price is sky-high, but its real value is not its own historical value, but what is recorded on it-the ancient magic used by medieval heresies and witches on the stake.

Although in modern times, the development of magic has made great progress, but the things in the past are still worth learning.

Through the long corridor, Qiu Xue came to the end wall.

Chizuki Tokiomi's relics were placed in this corner by Qiu Xue to generate ashes, and the dust fell unevenly on the surface of the box.

To this day, Qiu Xue still doesn't know what kind of feelings she has for her father.

Since his mother's death, Shi Chen's attitude towards her has been very indifferent, even to the point of ignoring her.

The young Qiuxue was standing in the living room with the teddy bear in her arms, as if she existed in the air.

At that time, Qiu Xue didn't complain about it, and she couldn't complain, because she knew that she deserved it, even now.

Because of her willfulness, a car accident that shouldn't have happened happened.

His mother died because he was protecting Qiu Xue when he was young. It is only natural that his father, who loved his mother so much, hated Qiu Xue. After all, that man never thought he needed an heir.

After the death of Qianyue Shichen, Qiu Xue heard from the housekeeper that her birth was not in the man's life plan at all... At least not at such an early stage... If it wasn't for the woman who insisted on keeping the child in her belly, then Qiu Xue would have will not be born in this world.

He loved that woman so much, after that woman died, he frantically searched for all the ways to bring people back from the dead, forgetting to sleep and eat.

Family property, company, and even his own body... He didn't care about anything. Chizuki Tokiomi, who was originally interested in magic, plunged into the world of magic and never looked back.

He used countless methods and spent a lot of money to invite the professor of the clock tower to find all kinds of magic,

Even the most brutal methods have been tried - the so-called human experiments.

But Qianyue Tokiomi didn't think anything about it, as long as he could revive his beloved woman, what's the point of mere human experimentation?
What's more, he regards himself as an orthodox magician.Magicians treat ordinary people like butchers treat cattle and sheep in captivity. With their swords in hand, they can take the lives of these ordinary people at any time.

Ultimately, however, until his death, the man failed to find a way to bring his wife back to life.

In this world, there is no such thing as bringing the dead back to life. In the minds of magicians, returning the dead to life is not a miracle, but something that cannot exist at all.

"Father...?" Qiu Xue lightly brushed the dust off the box, and at the same time her left arm lit up. It was something like a striped road, the so-called magic engraving.

This is also a relic left by Qianyue Shichen to Qiu Xue. It is something passed down from generation to generation in the Qianyue family, and it is transplanted by a special person from the Magic Association.

Originally, Qiu Xue didn't want this thing, but Akira Nakazawa, the president of the Exorcist Association, insisted that she inherit the magic seal.

The reasons are strong and simple.

The inheritance of Qianyue's family cannot be cut off in her generation.

And Qiu Xue also had her own considerations, so after much hesitation, she still chose to inherit this magic engraving.

After all, she no longer has any feelings for this man named father.

Even when Chizuki Tokiomi died, her heart did not fluctuate.

After living under the same roof for more than ten years, the end result is that they feel like strangers.

Unlocking the lock, gently opening the box, a puff of dust scattered and rushed towards the face, but was blocked by Qiu Xue with a magic barrier.

In my memory, the man's notes are a thick black book, like a thick dictionary.

In his vague memory, that man was still a very competent father before his mother died, with a gentle smile always on his handsome face.

He will teach Qiuxue to play the piano and draw pictures, and will also bring her to the magic workshop to learn some simple magic tricks in order to successfully open the "channel" in the body, that is, the magic circuit.Of course, more time, the family of three will drink afternoon tea in the garden behind the mansion, enjoying the warm sunshine and cozy time. Mother reads fairy tales to her with Qiu Xue in her arms, while Qianyue Tokiomi sits in the white On the oak table, with a black pen, in the black handbook, he recorded some insights and experiences of the magic he got.

The glowing ball floated above, Qiu Xue fumbled in the box, and finally found the father's note.

However, Qiu Xue frowned and sensed that something was wrong.

How could the originally thick notes become so thin now?
Taking a closer look, Qiu Xue couldn't help being surprised that many pages of this notebook had been torn out.

She frowned and flipped through the pages quickly.

What the magic family values ​​most is the study of magic. If it is stolen by an outsider, it means that the magic path of this family has come to an end.

Because others can learn the characteristics and weaknesses of the magic used by this magic family by studying the stolen notes, as long as they take some targeted measures, they can easily wipe out the opponent's whole family... unless the strength gap between the two parties is too large.

Qiu Xue flipped through nervously. Although she was good at gem magic, she was still born in the Qianyue family, so she naturally inherited the magic power of the Qianyue family.

If the weakness is mastered by others... Then the consequences are unimaginable!
This magic workshop is the safest place in Qianyue's mansion, who can steal things from here?

Qiuyue and Qiuye were first excluded from Qiuxue's mind.

The purpose of those two people has been achieved, and they have no need for magic.

Besides, if those two wanted to learn magic, Qiu Xue would teach them even at the risk of being designated by the seal.

After all, she knew that she owed too much to the maid twins, too much to repay.

So... what about Nomo Arakawa?
Qiu Xue shook her head and rejected this idea.

She knew that Nozomi Arakawa had some swordsmanship, but Qiuxue didn't feel any magic power from him.

Learning magic without magic power is like having a car but not being able to buy gasoline.

There is another person in the mansion, maybe he took it away?

Qiu Xue also denied this idea.

The man was locked up and couldn't come out.

So... there is only one possibility left.

Someone broke into Qianyue's house and stole part of the diary.

But soon Qiuxue fell into doubt again.

Because she was surprised to find that the other party did not steal the magic part, the magic part was intact, but a part of the back pages were torn off, and only one page survived.

There was only one line written on that page.

"I, saw a dragon."
