Temple and special horse racing skills

Trouble came again.

According to Zenyuanhui's life experience so far, when parents issue such diametrically opposed instructions, it often means that they are about to face a difficult object: the last person who gave him such a strong intuition was Wujo Wu.

Especially this stranger who came to the house was also surnamed "Chanyuan", according to the logic of the heart, he had a domineering face.

But the man seemed rather polite.

Xiaohui was ready for the other party to occupy the sofa as familiarly as Gojo Satoru, rummage around for snacks like her own home, and sweep through comics and toys like a gust of wind, but the person who looks particularly deviant is just behaved Sitting in front of the coffee table, his back was straight, and there was even a trace of tension that was not easy to detect.

Ah, are you here to entrust divination?He seemed to understand it all at once—occasionally the family would receive this kind of guests, and most of them would have similar expressions.

In fact, Naoya did feel a little reserved.

Although he has always boasted that one day he will step into a stronger field, the "world of the strong" where only Wujo Wujo and Shier are, but at least so far he is only a first-level conjurer, and there is still a long way to go to the special level. Obvious distance.

Shi Er was a little surprised: "Isn't this completely changed?"

Naoya looked at the room, and there was an oil painting hanging in the most eye-catching place in the living room, which was the silhouette of Ah Jing and Shier standing on the street.At the beginning, the student named Bahu kept his promise, and he really sent the work over half a year later. Ah Jing also entertained him and his classmates to have dinner at home, and even asked several college students to pack large and small bags. Going back with fruit, it can be regarded as a good time for the host and guest.

"I'm here to entrust the divination."

He said that the eye tails on both sides of the eyes flew upwards, and the whole face looked a bit like some kind of feline: "It's still the future in the past, please look at it again."

"What, that kind of commission will never be accepted again."

Shi Er refused on the spot, and he still remembered the scene where Ah Jing was exhausted in order to spy on life and death more than 20 years later: "Why do you come to divination for such a problem that you can solve by hanging a steel plate behind your back?"

Naoya:?

Listen, is this human speaking?

Ah Jing couldn't help coughing: "Naozai-kun wants to confirm whether he is still on the right path."

Naoya nodded, and stared at him with light onion eyes, with a bit of breathtaking meaning.He temporarily gave up the right to command Bing's team. Confined to the sphere of influence of the Yusan family, he will only step into the narrow logical circle like in his childhood. Not yet known.

Ah Jing smiled, took out her phone, and there was a line friend application interface on it.

"Let's choose freely first."

She said: "When you really have to, contact us again."

Ajing is very tight-lipped about topics related to fate, and she doesn't want to reveal anything in advance. Of course, Naoya has no chance to continue to press questions when Shier is present, but she is unwilling to leave just like that, and insists on continuing despite the other party's explicit instructions to chase away customers all the time. Nagging.

It is said that the two children of Senior Shan are also in elementary school recently, and the talents cursed by God seem to be nothing more than that, and they are completely incomparable with Shier back then.

It is also said that Maki can't even see the spirit of the curse, which is qualitatively different from Shier's God-given curse that completely eradicates the power of the curse.

"The last time I passed by Kyoto after the mission, I went back home by the way. It was obviously only a little bit old, so I insisted on training with the body."

Naoya snorted disdainfully: "Although all the people in the Chanyuan family who don't have skills have to go there."

"Don't bully children."

"Huh? I didn't do that. It was that guy who chased after me and said that he would definitely become the head of the Chanyuan family in the future."

"Looks like a new competitor. What happened?"

"Let her even count her sneak attack ability, first find a way to beat me once."

Speaking of this, Ah Jing showed a subtle expression, and his gaze first stayed on Naoya's eyes, and after confirming that the other party was telling the truth, he looked at his side face and coughed dryly.

"Including Senior Fan, there are quite a lot of competitors."

"That bastard doesn't have to think about it at all. He will retire when I go back to take over the team."

Naoya is very confident about this.

Speaking of rival candidates though...

He squinted his eyes, looked at Xiao Hui who was trying to pretend that he didn't exist, and looked at her from head to toe: "Ten shadow spells?"

"Ah."

Xiaohui nodded cautiously, and heard the other party continue to question: "Then the position of the master in the future, you and I are—"

"I don't want it. I'm going to be the director of the zoo in the future."

"……what?"

"I just finished talking about my future dreams in school today."

Ah Jing explained: "He was recently in charge of feeding the little rabbits raised in their school."

Naoya: "..."

The feeling of being punched in the air came again, the last time I had this feeling was...it was the last time.

Referring to Jianren Qihai who became a fund manager in the financial industry and was obsessed with making money, it can only be said that there are more people with strange ambitions in his social circle.Although he had no personal relationship with Qi Hai, the other party did not block him directly. Line's social circle often shared some uncommon terms in the financial field, and he did not look like a magician at all.

Thinking of it this way, Maki's desire to compete for the position of Patriarch even seemed a little aggressive.

The black cat at home, which Naoya still has an impression of, was nestled on the back of the sofa, with a messy beard and cloudy eyes, and quietly yawned.

"Is it still alive?"

"There's not much time left."

"Ah, yes, you can accurately judge this."

"About two weeks."

Shir grabbed the cat and put it on his lap.After so many years of getting along with each other, Ah Xiang had already accepted the other party as his family, narrowed his eyes slightly, and leaned on his arm obediently.Many years ago, in the small courtyard on a rainy night, a kitten made a panic-stricken judgment, which determined the future of his life.

The black cat is barely healthy, and has some geriatric diseases that cannot be helped by reverse surgery. It licked Shier's wrist lightly, and closed its eyes again to rest.

"I've been to Hokkaido once."

Naoya suddenly said: "It was a commission from the director's department, and I was asked to deal with a curse master. The curse master's own spells are not difficult to deal with, but he escaped quickly - in the end I chased all the way north from Iwate County, and arrived at A mountainous area in the eastern part of Kuriyama Town, Hokkaido."

Even Naoya Zenyuan, who is known as the "fastest" magician, finds it a tricky opponent. Both Ah Jing and Shi Er also became more interested: "And then?"

"—then I met some local conjurers."

Naoya replied.

He was assigned to this tricky task because his pursuit was fast enough. If he continued to allow the Cursed Master to flee north, there would even be a risk of his being extradited to Russia.It will be useless once you step out of the country, so it is necessary to successfully block it in Hokkaido-in this case, Naoya basically has no good face towards the magician who came to disturb his work.

There is no decent economic industry in a small mountain village like Kuriyama Town, and there are endless fields near the Yubari River. When the rice is not yet ripe, Naoya can't even tell the difference between rice seedlings and leeks.

He was hurriedly stopped by a man pushing a bicycle. The other party first handed over a business card respectfully, saying that he was someone from the Ainu Curse Alliance, and then looked at him and said that you must be from the south Conjurer.

"So what?"

"Please also know that the curse spirits in Hokkaido will be solved by the local magicians of our magic alliance as much as possible..."

Oh, Naoya understands that it is a matter of separation of responsibilities and powers.

Hokkaido has always been unconvinced in history. This includes the personality of the pioneers themselves, as well as the historical conflicts between the Ainu and Yamato peoples. However, the game at the top has nothing to do with him. These magicians also follow the rules work.

So Naoya frowned: "Of course the curse spirit belongs to you, I came after the curse master."

The other party was startled, and asked about his personal identity and level of conjurer. After realizing that the son of the Yusan family was chasing him personally, his expression became more serious, and he took out his phone and swiped on an app for a long time.

"Can you tell us some current information about the curse master? It would be better if there are things like the other party's hair or clothing."

"This is my mission, what's your business?"

"It is our job to have a curse master step into the bounded area of ​​Hokkaido, and it will not affect your task delivery and reporting. Please forgive me..."

Another set of evasive and perfunctory official accents.

Naoya originally thought that this was just perfunctory and difficult things from the other party. After suppressing the impatience in his heart and providing the information on the curse master according to the other party's request, Naoya planned to shake off the other party and act alone.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that the conjurer submitted "a mission to hunt down and kill a cursed master" to the server, and after quickly passing the review, it was forced to be pushed to all registered users within a radius of tens of kilometers around him. conjurer.

The interface of the software looks like an earthquake alarm. The name, spells and personal characteristics of the target person are mass-posted in eye-catching fonts. At the same time, it reminds that "this is a job restricted to first-level conjurers", and they are not so confident in their own abilities. Please don't pester the conjurer after you find out your whereabouts, just post the updated address.

"What, this is."

"This is a platform for our conjurers to post and receive quests."

The other party brought the phone over to him and showed it to him: "Replaced the [window] and [auxiliary supervision] functions of a part of your conjuration world. Non-combatants found that the magic spirit can upload the address here; the data processing center will also use it according to the magic spirit. The level and status of the nearby conjurers are used to dynamically allocate work. The background also includes functions such as the transaction of spell equipment and collaborative commissioning, but the situation you are encountering now is considered a special case."

As for the evacuation of the related non-magicians after the discovery of the curse spirit, the subsequent online submission of reports, and the cooperation and handover with civil servants and even the police... Needless to say, these integrated functions have the active cooperation and push of the Hokkaido government.

The man smiled: "After all, it's a first-level incident, and it's a curse master. I don't know what to do in Hokkaido. It's better to solve it as soon as possible—it might be difficult for our highest-level curse master here to fight with you." It's higher."

The compliment at the end just hit the itch, and Naoya accepted the other party's compliment frankly, and there was no suspense in the end of the incident.The first-level incident is the highest level that can be resolved within the normal process in Hokkaido. Once a conjurer discovers the whereabouts of the curser, it will be like a new seismic wave and re-update information and commissions to all the conjurers in the surrounding radiation range synchronously. , This kind of method like a big wave washing the sand quickly successfully located the target, and it didn't take much twists and turns for the Zenyuan Naoya who rushed over to successfully kill it.

"As expected of Yusanjia, this kind of efficiency is really eye-opening."

There were only a second-level and a third-level present, and they couldn't intervene when they really fought. Zenyuan Naoya quickly completed the task and threw the corpse into the suitcase prepared in advance.Since he was a child, he has been accustomed to the admiration and admiration of others, but this time, he hesitated: "Do you usually work like this?"

"how?"

At first glance, everyone seemed confused.

"...No, nothing."

Naoya was silent for a while, called to inform his assistant supervisor, and turned to leave.

"That's how it is."

He drank all the water in the glass, and said to Ah Jing and Shi Er: "I remember you went to Hokkaido a long time ago, you set the rules there, right?"

"We only gave a preliminary suggestion at the beginning, and the rest of the work and subsequent development are all ideas that Hokkaido's Spell Alliance came up with."

Ah Jing said: "I only went to school until I graduated from junior high school. I don't really know much about that."

At the beginning, the small programmer team has been expanded again and again, and now it has formed a quite professional team. They are currently developing towards big data and intelligent algorithms, trying to be more efficient like spells. Teachers award jobs.

The opportunity of the times and the work inherited over the millennium are mixed together in a special form at this moment.

But the Kyoto side is still the same as in the past, maintaining the rule of iron barrels for thousands of years.This method is inefficient, with a high loss rate of personnel, and the magicians without family roots have little success. The best ones are the principals of colleges and the like, but they are still in the hands of the upper echelons of the magic world. blade.

He has known it all along.

The Yusan family is an honor bestowed upon him, and he has always been very clear about the prosperity or decline of the entire family as the lord.

Many people in the Chanyuan family yearned for that position, and he himself was no exception.

Maki wants to become the head of the family to prove herself, and Uncle Shan may want to grab more benefits.

——The conjuration community is not an organization that exists to make the life of conjurers better.

When I realized this, it was as if a chisel was suddenly wedged open my brain, light and cold wind came in, and my empty soul trembled in the wind and light.

At this time, let’s think about “Xia Youjie, a super conjurer from a commoner family, defected to the college and set up a new school”, “The current head of the Wutiao family is a teacher in the college”, “Qihai Jianren in the same period completely gave up the conjurer as a fund manager", "Hui Yuan almost died on the spot at work, but did not receive any reasonable compensation"...

Sharp answers came rushing forward.

Everyone has made his choice and now it seems to be his turn.

"Don't you still want to become stronger?"

Ah Jing said: "Promoting change will also require strength. Let's start by becoming a person who can support and protect others."

Before leaving, Naoya left two bottles of rice wine, which is said to be a local specialty of Kuriyama Town, Hokkaido.This person has always been lacking in empathy, and his mouth is not forgiving, but after four years of training in Huiyuan Xiong's high school, he finally learned some "common sense that ordinary people must possess in order to walk in society".

"When you first suggested that he go to a college, did you ever think about this?"

Shi Er looked at the packaging of the two bottles of wine, and put one of them in the cabinet: "If that guy stays at the Zenyuan's house all the time, he will become a very annoying character."

... Actually, it looks quite annoying now, Xiaohui couldn't help but slander in her heart.

"In the future, mountains and rivers will be restored. I am also a human being. How could I know so much in advance?"

Ah Jing smiled: "It's his own choice."
