Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

Finally, under Xia Yuan's coercion, Tono Shiki took them to the courtyard of the Tono family's residence.

The brief contact had made him clearly aware of an important message, whether he led the way or not, this person could find his home.

There was no doubt about it, so he had no choice but to lead the way.

Moreover, the blond woman next to him was staring at him, her eyes almost bleeding, and she looked eager to try. She obviously wanted to divide her into seventeen pieces. If she didn't agree, she would definitely be in bad luck.

Under unavoidable circumstances, Tohno Shiki was forced to become the leader

"Here we are."

Looking at the luxurious mansion in front of him, Tono Shiki's eyes were a little subtle.

Not only because Xia Yuan held him hostage, but also because of his own experience. Although he is the eldest son of the Tono family, he has spent the past eight years He has been fostered in a separate family, so his impression of his family only remains in the vague memories of his childhood.

However, due to the death of the old head of the Tono family some time ago, his sister Akiha Tono took over as the new head of the family. The reunion of the brother and sister who had not seen each other for eight years should be a very touching scene, but I don’t know why? It was a bit strange. No matter what the situation, her attitude towards him was always fierce, even harsh. This also made him often reflect on whether he had done anything wrong to make his sister unhappy..

Akiba didn't have this kind of character when he was a child. After so long, everyone has really changed a lot.

In short, Tohno Shiki is not very familiar with this new home and family he has returned to. He was happy, and even felt a little resistant in his heart.

However, Xia Yuan paid no attention to their family matters, nor did he care about Tono Shiki's little thoughts.

He moved to the door of the Tono family's residence and headed towards the courtyard. The figure said hello

"Beautiful lady, I take the liberty of disturbing you."

That is a beautiful girl with dignified long red hair in a maid uniform. At the moment she is carefully cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground in the courtyard by the front door.

"you are?"

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the maid raised her head. When she saw Xia Yuan's figure appearing at the door, she asked with some confusion.

However, when she saw Tohno Shiki following behind, she still respectfully He bowed and said,"Master Zhigui,"

"Jade."

Tohno Shiki also called out the name of the red-haired maid.

"Welcome home. It’s so late. Miss Qiuye has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time. Please go and see her."

"Are you two friends of Master Shiki?"

She looked at Erquette and Xia Yuan next to Tono Shiki and asked.

"yes……"

Before Tohno Shiki could speak, Xia Yuan had already answered the maid's question first.

"You misunderstood Miss Emerald. Brother Shiki and I just met by chance on the road."

"Although there is some connection between us, it would be too hasty to call us friends easily."

"This, is this...? Jade stared at Xia Yuan, who was very polite, and Shiki Tono, who had an unusual expression.

She obviously didn't understand the situation. She couldn't tell what was wrong, but why did it feel so strange?

"Those two are……？"

Just when she was about to ask, Xia Yuan took out a gilded envelope from his pocket and handed it to her.

"It's rude to come here. My name is Xia Yuan. I am the current head of the Einzbern family and the agent of the Magic Association, Clock Tower, and Ore Department."

"I am a magician. For some special reasons, I came here today to visit the Tono family, a family that exorcises demons. Please help me forward this greeting letter to the current head of the family."

As Xia Yuan reported a series of names that were useless to him but were very famous outside, Jade, as a maid, couldn't help but be stunned.

But she quickly reacted. She reached out and took the envelope handed over by Xia Yuan. Then he nodded slightly and replied politely.

"I understand, please wait."

Shiki Tono:"……"

Hearing this series of names, Tohno Shiki was a little confused.

What are these?

Although he couldn't understand it, it was not difficult for him to tell that Xia Yuan had an unusual name and was probably a big shot.

Could it be that the woman following him... is also a powerful person of some kind?

Isn’t it all over now?

It was indeed her fault this time. If she wanted to punish herself, of course he could understand and accept it.

But it would be really bad if he caused big trouble to his sister and the Tono family.

Looking at Jade's hurried away figure, Tono Shiki opened his mouth, wanting to stop her and say something to her.

But the jade hand that Erquette put on his neck had already exerted a little force, making him unable to speak. He could only watch the jade enter the mansion.

"Don't try to do any tricks, or I will break your neck directly, murderer."

Arquitet said viciously

……

……

On the other side, the current head of the Tono family, Tono Akiha, was drinking tea in the hall.

Another red-haired maid who looked very similar to Jade stood beside her.

Seeing Jade suddenly walking into the mansion and moving a little hastily, she was stunned, and then asked with some confusion

"Did something happen? Jade, you just left for five minutes, and you finished cleaning the courtyard so quickly?"

Based on her understanding of her maid, it is impossible for Jade to be lazy. Now that she is rushing back in a hurry, could something have happened?

"No, Miss, it’s Master Shiki who is back. Jade summarized the language and said:"And he also brought two important guests. It was one of the gentlemen who asked me to come in to inform him."

"The important guest brought back by my brother? What kind of important guest is he? Need a special notification? Could it be his classmate. Or maybe he got into trouble at school and the teacher came to visit his home?"

Tono Qiuye tilted his head and asked curiously.

She never imagined that her brother could bring anything that Jadeite could call an important guest.

"No, that gentleman claimed to be the contemporary head of the Einzbern family and an agent of the Clock Tower Minerals Department. This time he came to visit the Tono family specially."

Jade shook her head, put the envelope on the table in front of Tono Akiha, and then answered seriously

"The head of the Einzbern family? And the agent of the Ore Division... He said he was from the Clock Tower?"

Although I don't know what kind of magic family the Einzbern family is with a long history, the name of the Magic Association Clock Tower is very popular.

It is a holy place where magicians gather in the world. Anyone who comes into contact with the mysterious circle will know this. The name was unlikely to be unfamiliar, so when she heard the name, even Tono Akiha couldn't help but be stunned.

She put down the teacup in her hand, hurriedly opened the envelope sent by Xia Yuan on the table, and began to carefully examine the contents. The gilded text and the coat of arms decorated with special magic fully showed that the owner was a magician, and from what Jade said, it seemed that he was the head of a noble family.

The Zbelen family originated from a certain magic aristocracy over there in the Clock Tower, and if this Mr. Xia Yuan was really the current head of this family, he was definitely not a simple person, but a person with such a high status actually came to visit him in person. She is a Tono family far away in the Far East?

This is a question that she can't figure out.

The Far East is usually devalued as a rural area in the eyes of the nobles of the Magic Association, and is regarded by those who come from the Clock Tower. The orthodox noble magician should be looked down upon.

But why did the head of the family visit his own little Tono family?

Or...

Tono Akiha couldn't help but think about the worst. The remaining time no longer allowed her to continue to speculate. As the magic family here, the Tono family left such a noble magician from the clock tower outside. Not only was it a very rude thing, but it was also very disrespectful. Dangerous things.

She has also seen many outside magicians with her father, and it is not that the nobles of the Clock Tower have not seen them before.

Most of these guys have abnormal minds. They have high self-esteem and have tricky personalities. , the more noble he is, the more so.

If he leaves such a magic noble outside for a long time, he will definitely arouse the anger of the other party. If he fights at the Tono family, he will be angry. Noya caused unacceptable losses.

And... how did that idiot brother get involved with such a dangerous guy? According to Jade, Shiki Tono is next to Mr. Xia Yuan at the moment.

Here, Tono Akiha's mood became extremely anxious.

In her opinion, leaving Tono Shiki with an ignorant magician was no different from sending a white rabbit to the mouth of a hungry wolf.

If the other party wants to hurt him, it will be difficult for Shiki Tono to resist as an ordinary person, so he must not anger the other party and must put his brother's safety first.

"I get it, Jade."

After a moment of thinking, Tono Qiuye looked back from her thoughts. She looked at Jade standing by, her expression became serious, and she warned seriously.

"Now go and invite the magician outside the door. Be sure to pay attention to the following emergencies. If you encounter danger, please protect my brother's safety for me, okay?"

"Yes, I will definitely protect Master Shiki."

Jade nodded.

"That's up to you."

After receiving Jade's reply, Tono Akiha nodded, then looked at the other maid beside him, and said:"Amber, come with me."

"yes"

……

……

Probably a few minutes later.

After receiving the invitation from Tono Akiha, Xia Yuan took Arquitet and followed the maid named Jade into the Tono family's mansion.

After seeing the methods of these two men, Tono Shiki, who had been following them, did not dare to make any small moves and could only follow behind obediently.

Along the way, Tohno Shiki and Jade were in a state of high tension, but fortunately, no accidents happened.

Soon, the current head of the Tono family, Tono Shiki's sister, Tono Akiha, appeared in the hall, waiting for their arrival.

The maid Jade opened the door of the villa in front of them, and the appearance of Tono Akiha gradually came into view of several people.

Her facial features are dignified and beautiful, and she has long, jet-black hair that reaches her waist. Although she is immature, she does not lack the sense of majesty as the head of the family. She has a ladylike temperament. She is dressed in a black and white dress. Added a bit of the prudent demeanor of the head of the household

"Hello, I am the contemporary head of the Tono family, Tono Akiha. It is a great honor for me that two magicians who came all the way from the clock tower can visit me today."

I saw that Tono Akiha remained polite. Although he was wary, he still spoke in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

Just from his conversation and demeanor, it can be seen that the Tono family has a good tutor.

"I apologize for taking the liberty of disturbing you."

Xia Yuan nodded slightly and replied politely. Then he began to introduce himself and Elquit beside him to Tono Qiuye.

"This is my companion Erquette. She is here to visit with me today. Because she has lived abroad for a long time, she may not have a good understanding of most local etiquette. If there is any offense later, please let me know. Please forgive me, Miss Akiba."

Seeing this, Xia Yuan did not forget to give Elquit beside him a look, telling her to stop staring at Tono Shiki in front of his sister. If this continues, we will die talking to each other later.

"Erquit?"

Xia Yuan could only cough lightly.

"oh? Call me? That, hello."

However, Elquette, a purebred golden retriever husky, obviously did not understand the intention of Xia Yuan's look. After briefly dealing with Tono Akiha, he still kept his dead eye on Tono Shiki. Seeing this, Tohno Shiki couldn't help but feel tingly in his heart.

:"……"

Tono Akiha:"？"

"Miss Arquette, what does this mean?"

Tono Qiuye frowned. She was not a fool. At this moment, she had noticed that the purpose of these two people was impure.

Xia Yuan, who originally wanted to be polite first and then fight, was also confused by Erqite's magical operation and didn't know what to say. , simply stopped pretending, and prepared to have a showdown with Tono

Akiye directly:"It's nothing, it's just that my companion doesn't know much about the etiquette of Jidong, and he met Brother Ling before coming here. It's just two sides, and some unpleasantness happened. I am here today just to deal with this unpleasantness."

"Is it unpleasant?……"

Sure enough, the person who came here is not a good person.

Tono Qiuye rubbed the ceremonial dress hidden in his pocket, and began to examine the abilities of these two people in his heart.

This is the residence of the Tono family, and it is her home ground. The magic workshop and the mechanism can bring huge advantages. Under these conditions, if you really make a move, even if the opponent is really a master of magic. She can do it too... she thought in her mind, but gave up this ridiculous idea the next second.

Because just at the moment when she lost consciousness, Xia Yuan had already come to her side, patted her shoulder gently, blocked her movements with magic, and then said in a voice that she could hear.

"The half-covered special magic workshop has about twelve magic nodes and is very complete. It clearly calls itself a demon-exorcist family, but Miss Akiba is really talented in the path of magic."

With just an understatement, all her hidden cards were revealed, and with such a speed that she couldn't react at all, this magician's strength was overwhelming to him in all directions!!

What was that speed just now? What's going on?

Not only Tono Akiha, but no one present except Elquitet could clearly see Xia Yuan's actions just now. In just a blink of an eye, Xia Yuan, who was still standing beside Elquitet, had It turned into an afterimage and disappeared, and the real body came behind Tono Qiuye.

The speed was so fast that it was as if time had stopped.

With the instantaneous advanced strengthening magic, coupled with the power left by the count, Xia. Yuan's agility can even be raised to A or even higher levels of terror. Previously, Aozaki Aoko was able to defeat her with the fifth magic's violent strafing and time characteristics. Not to mention this move, of course, a modern magician like Tono Akiba alone There is no way to guard against it.

After the terrifying experience just now, Tono Akiha also realized this.

To put it bluntly, even in his own production workshop, this person can crush an ant effortlessly. Squeeze her to death.

He must have seen through his own little thoughts just now, so he just pointed it out as a demonstration.

How did my brother provoke such a monster?

There are such terrifying people ? Strength, could this young man be the legendary Lord?

Her mood became even more complicated.

"Well, we have been standing and talking for so long, it would be better to sit down and talk next. Can I borrow the reception room of the Toono family for a while? Miss Akiba."

Patting Toono Akiba on the shoulder, Xia Yuan took the opportunity to take some samples from her hair for detection.

It is different, it is indeed mixed with the characteristics of demon blood, which is completely different from Toono Shiki's blood.

These two people cannot be real siblings.

But Toono Shiki believes that he is the eldest son of the Toono family. There is indeed something strange about this. I just don't know how much Miss Akiba knows about the tricks involved?

"Okay...Okay, please do as you please."

Tono Qiuye's face turned pale. The feeling that her life was in someone else's hands certainly made her dare not act rashly.

It was no exaggeration to say that she had been frightened by Xia Yuan's hand just now. At this moment She couldn't even think of resisting, but she couldn't show it.

The more she was in crisis, the more she had to stay calm.���Killing herself means that there is still some room for relaxation, and she must work hard to deal with the opponent.

The safety of the entire Tono family now rests on her. At this time, she must not be disorganized.

She steeled herself and ordered:"Amber, come and take the guests to the reception room."

"yes."

Another red-haired girl dressed as a maid walked out of the room and bowed respectfully. Her appearance was exactly the same as that of the maid named Jade outside. It seemed that she should be a pair of sisters. She was originally ordered by the eldest lady. The order was to stay in a nearby room and wait. At this moment, when he heard Tono Akiha's call, he hurried out and started to execute the new order.

"plz follow me."
