I, Zhongli, wander the world

This time when he went to Tokyo, Zhongli didn't bring anyone with him.

Nakahara Chu, who had already started school, didn't mention it, and Edogawa Ranpo, who vaguely sensed something, didn't make a fuss with him. He just ate several desserts a little angrily, until Nakahara Nakahara, who couldn't stand it anymore, forcibly confiscated all his snacks.

As for Dazai...

That kid has been showing up less and less lately.

He arrives late and leaves early for work every day, and loses track from time to time.Even if I come to work obediently, I still look at my mobile phone most of the time, and I don’t know who I am sending messages with quickly.

A grown child has his own ideas, and Zhongli doesn't hold him back from taking risks, but just because of this sudden invitation... Perhaps something is finally about to ferment.

Things that have been foreseen are generally not difficult to solve, but whether to do something about this matter still needs to be carefully thought out.

Zhong Li stared at the rapidly passing scenery outside the car window, thinking quietly under the calm appearance.

The speed of the Shinkansen in Japan is not slow, and time passes quickly in thinking, but after four and 10 minutes, he arrived at the platform in Tokyo.

Now Xia Youjie, who holds a high position in the spell class, is waiting at the exit of the station.

"Mr. Zhongli, long time no see." The young man who has grown from a young high school to a handsome elite, wearing a neat suit that is not common among conjurers, walked forward quickly, and greeted him in a brisk tone.

It is said to be "a long time", but it is actually the work of these few months.I heard that there was a dispute between the aristocratic family and the government over the establishment of the Magic Elementary School. Xia Youjie, who was caught in the middle, was busy for a long time trying to mediate between them.

Zhongli nodded, "Long time no see, thanks for your hard work."

"Actually, it's over." Xia Youjie opened the door of the car on the side as he spoke, "Both sides take a step back, the aristocratic family will not interfere in the selection of ordinary little magicians, but neither can the magic class." The core members of the aristocratic family are required to enroll in compulsory school, and the annual enrollment target is negotiated and completed by the aristocratic family itself."

The age of going to elementary school is the time period when the Three Views are established. In any case, it is impossible for the group of people in the magic circle to let their talented next generation go to the official school for so-called "brainwashing education" and cut out the young commoners. The conjurer's control is already their biggest concession.

If it was placed a few years ago when the spell class was first established, they would never agree to this kind of condition anyway.

"It's never a good thing to be complacent, let alone in terms of base numbers, the number of conjurers among the common people should far exceed that of the aristocratic family, but they have never thought of discovering them in a systematic way." Zhongli commented objectively.

"I think so too." Xia Youjie, whose idea was approved, showed a happy smile, "The first batch of children are currently receiving guidance from teachers in the college, and you will probably meet them there."

The two talked about the recent topic, and they seemed harmonious and friendly, tacitly did not mention the real purpose of this trip here.

The site of the Tokyo Conjuration College is located on a mountain in the outskirts of the city, and there are few people there, so the road is unimpeded. Soon, Zhongli set foot on the land of the Conjuration College.

The barrier that enveloped the high school was silent, and did not respond to his arrival.

"A few years ago, a special office for spell classes was added to the office area. Usually, my colleagues and I would work there, and the handover business of some non-magic masters was also carried out there." Xia Youjie pointed to the office in the high school. The building introduced, "However, due to the occasional changes in the buildings in the high school, ordinary people who come from the government sometimes get lost, which is a small trouble."

With the gradual increase in contact with people without magic power, Xia Youjie gradually let go of his unconscious arrogance towards ordinary people.Especially when the onlookers watched some dedicated social animals drink energy drinks and work overtime all night until they almost died suddenly.

Ordinary people also have the power of ordinary people.The current Xia Youjie is deeply convinced of this.

The road to the inside happened to pass by the training ground. Xia Youjie pointed to a few figures on the training ground in the distance and was about to say something, when he saw a small figure with a five-short stature being kicked away heavily, like a small ball all the way " Gulu Gulu" rolled to the front.

"Sister!" A panicked cry came from the training ground.

The "Little Tuanzi" who had stopped rolling stood up stiffly, rubbing the corner of his injured mouth with his right hand, and spit out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"Come again! Big man!"

"Call me teacher properly, impolite little brat from the Zen Academy." A tall man in practice clothes came leisurely from the training ground and greeted Zhongli lazily, "Yo, Mr. Zhongli, come here Let's visit."

Zhong Li's eyes turned around the angry little girl next to him, and he was about to blurt out another address: "Mr. Shi Er, it seems that you are really doing well here."

Senyuan Shier, who was keenly aware of Zhongli's change of address, scratched his hair, "Ah, it's really good to be able to make money and beat little devils like sandbags."

Except for the bounty hunter who has long since given up, there is indeed no high-paying job that is more suitable for him.

"Big guy, who do you call a sandbag!" The little girl waved her small fist in disbelief.

"Call me teacher, kid!"

The one big and one small stared at each other, the twin sister who exclaimed "sister" just ran over at this time, nervously clutching the corner of her sister's clothes, trying to persuade the fight in a low voice, but completely submerged in the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two middle.

"Cough, as you can see, Mr. Zhongli." Xia Youjie coughed awkwardly, "These children will receive good guidance here as a reserve for future spell classes. Those two children are Maki and Zhenyi, because of his special physique, he specially arranged Mr. Shier's additional training courses, and some children should be taught theoretical knowledge by Haibara at this time."

Hearing that Xia Youjie was introducing himself to Zenyuan Maki, he finally ended the confrontation with Zenyuan Shier, and greeted him politely as if changing his face, "Nice meeting, Mr. Zhongli, I am Zenyuan Maki."

Zenyuan Zhenyi next to her whispered, "I am Zenyuan Zhenyi...meeting you for the first time."

"Hello." Zhongli smiled slightly at the two little girls, "Are you satisfied with the teaching here?"

The somewhat shy Zhenyuan Zhenyi blushed immediately, and took a step behind her sister uncomfortably.Obviously she is also a little girl, Zenyuan Maki consciously stood in front of her sister, and said generously: "Although even... the teacher is sometimes annoying, but the teaching is indeed capable. Defeat him, and then return to the Zenyuan family to be the head of the family!"

"Do I still have to thank you for complimenting me, brat!" Chan Yuan said angrily. If he didn't want to see the faces of those old things after his blood cousin became the head of the family, he would have given up on it a long time ago. I got the teacher's pick to harm the curse spirit.

"The premise of realizing the ideal is to be down-to-earth. It is really good to have this idea." Zhong Li said, looking at Xia Youjie, "I am looking forward to seeing the future of the magic world."

The stagnant water diverts the canal, and the burning salary meets the wind, so that the state of flow can have a better future.

After that, Xia Youjie took Zhongli to visit several places in succession, including but not limited to the dormitory, classrooms, and the principal's office.During the period, I met with teachers and students of the college many times, and also attended the small class of Hui Yuanxiong for the remaining children, and even exchanged the wool felt production plan with the principal Yamo Masamichi.

It seemed that they were really just here for sightseeing this time.

This kind of leisure has deceived many secretly observing eyes. The news spread to the outside world through hidden channels, and some people who have been paying attention have finally relaxed a little.

Guessing that the news that should be circulated should be in place, Xia Youjie avoided all eyes and came to a door.

That is the gate leading to the Palace of the Stars.

"This matter is very important, I haven't told Wu yet. I just want to have an extra layer of insurance by inviting Mr. Zhongli." Xia Youjie said, "After all, this kind of thing... More people who know about it will be more dangerous .”

And he subconsciously chose the most reliable god in the concept.

Zhong Li asked directly: "But what's wrong with Tian Yuan?"

"I knew you could guess it." Xia Youjie said with a wry smile, "Perhaps you also felt some changes when you passed the barrier earlier... I suspect something happened to Mr. Tian Yuan."

Zhong Li looked at him quietly, beckoning him to continue.

"The barriers outside the Conjuration Academy are also made by Lord Tianyuan. To use spells internally, you need to register the spell power, otherwise an alarm will be triggered. There is a special registration management department inside the high academy, so that even the evil star The palace is closed by Master Tianyuan like now, and it can also add registered spell power." Xia Youjie said, "However, just a few days ago, I found that the barrier of Gaozhuan was invalid."

Strictly speaking, it was just a small mistake.

Xia Youjie, who subdued a small magic spirit that could only light a fire, forgot to register the magic power of the humble new magic spirit. It was not until he handed the fire to the house where the lighter could not be found that he was suddenly shocked. Feel something is wrong.

The alarm was not triggered.

The thoughtful young man didn't directly show that something was wrong at the time, but did a lot of experiments secretly after that, and finally confirmed the fact that the barrier of the high school was invalid.

"But at the same time, the auxiliary supervisors can still use the enchantment technique strengthened by Lord Tianyuan, which is not consistent with the invalid high-level enchantment. I also tried to ask Lord Tianyuan, although the Xinggong has assimilated from that time Afterwards, it was completely closed, but the normal news transmission was not affected. However, Lord Tian Yuan did not respond to me."

Zhongli was deep in thought, and didn't speak immediately.

He is aware of the rule that "there is only one astral body at a time", and he also knows that after that, the Tianyuan may transform into a curse spirit.But after all, the behind-the-scenes man who spanned thousands of years has already been killed, and Xia Youjie, who is the magician, is still here, cooperating with Wujo Wu, at least he can absorb Tianyuan before it gets out of control.

However, judging from the state of the barrier...it was obvious that someone had added a lot of his own little thoughts to the plan at that time.

"I see." In the end, Zhong Li said, "I will go down to the depths of the Xingxing Palace together with you, and as for the following... just adapt to the situation."

The River of Destiny has not collapsed, which means that Tianyuan, which plays a key role in this world, has not completely disappeared, and the spirit enchantment that can still be used also proves this point.

still have a chance.

The dusty door was forcibly opened from the outside, but the alarm was still not triggered.

There is an elevator directly to the ground floor inside the Xingxing Palace, and the two of them followed the elevator down to the deepest underground.

It is a pure white color.

Xia Youjie explained: "After Lord Tianyuan closed the Xingxing Palace, he refused all communication, and the underground of the original building complex also became this pure white, so no one can visit where Lord Tianyuan is. s position……"

"Wu Ke has been here before?" Zhong Li asked.

"...Since Lizi's incident, Wu has a little repulsion towards Lord Tianyuan, and he has never set foot in the Xingxing Palace."

"Then it makes sense." Zhong Li sighed, "The blank here is not caused by Tian Yuan."

Xia Youjie was startled, "What?"

"Although the final results are somewhat similar, the layout and operation of the enchantment are rigid and deliberate." Zhongli stretched his fingers forward and stroked in the void. The position of the fingertips was slightly flat, as if he had really touched something. "The reason why it has the same effect... I'm afraid it's because the originally dissipated energy was collected and concentrated at one point and released evenly."

The pure white that filled the entire space suddenly cracked from the point where Zhongli's fingertips were.

The shattered cracks on the mirror surface are like living snakes, which are getting bigger and bigger in the pure white void, and finally shattered when they spread to the entire pure white.

"That's..." Xia Youjie looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

He had taken over the task of escorting the astral body to the Xingxing Palace, so he naturally knew the internal structure of the Xingxing Palace.However, at this moment, the giant tree that should have existed in the center disappeared without a trace.

Not only that, the houses that were originally built around the giant trees were cut into fragments, and the stereotyped spells visible to the naked eye were connected to the original enchantment spells, which were roughly extended through the gaps in the houses, all the way to the center.

And at the center of the giant tree where the giant tree originally grew, a gleaming knife was quietly inserted there. The huge but firmly bound mantra was wrapped around it, and it was imprinted on the ground with a constant force. Speed ​​Drain Absorption.

"Maybe it has been swallowed, or maybe it's just a simple seal, but if you don't want the barrier to lose its effect immediately, it's best not to touch that knife." Zhongli said lightly.

Xia Youjie took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Go and see the situation first," he said.
