Even God wants to help her...
Originally, she would still be worried about her grandfather's interference, but now that there is an intruder in the Aozaki family, she can take action in advance.
"But the invaders..."
Aozaki Touko looked at the map of Misaki City on the table in front of her, on which were densely packed the locations of magic nodes circled in red by her.
She quickly identified a place to destroy first, and the face of the magician Victor, who had spent half a day just to see her, emerged in her mind.
"Could it be him? Tsk."
……
Aozaki Touko is definitely not the only one who thinks this way.
"Oh my great aunt."
"Why are you running around in broad daylight instead of sleeping?"
"Surprise, surprise, you really only give me surprises but no surprises!"
When Victor rushed to the scene with sparks and lightning, and then bypassed Kuonji's house and headed for the entrance of the mountains, he saw Kuonji Aritsuma and Aozaki Aoko who had just met up and arrived as soon as possible.
When the two saw Victor coming in from outside, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Frankly speaking, when they returned home and found that Victor was not there, they were actually a little worried that the so-called intruder might be Victor - and the latter felt a little guilty...
It's definitely not me, but it's no different from me...
Victor was speechless, and while the two were not paying attention, he quickly released a familiar in. Then the next second he felt the familiar being crushed into pieces by the invisible magic power, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch.
"Um... aren't you going in?"
There was no other way, so he had to bite the bullet and say it.
"Can't get in."
Hearing this, Aozaki Aoko shook her head slightly and explained: "My grandfather closed the entrance to the barrier for some reason. He might have activated the emergency defense mode..."
"Then... doesn't it matter?"
Victor asked cautiously.
"It should be fine." On the side, Kuonji Yuzu looked at the closed entrance calmly and said coldly, "The barrier is connected to the spiritual vein of Misaki City and has a nearly unlimited supply of magic power. If it's just an intruder, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Hearing this, Victor's toothache got worse.
So, this is just a plan to close the door and beat the dog!
However, he was not worried about Altluchi's safety. After all, he had the black knight Stuart following him. Together, the two of them could break even the most powerful barrier... His main worry was... that Altluchi would really break the barrier.
Yes.
I did intend that you might need to help Aozaki Touko a little bit.
But I didn't ask you to do everything that Aozaki Touko should do all at once!
Your subjective kinetic energy is a bit too strong!
My princess!!
However, at this moment, Aozaki Aoko's face did change, and then collapsed.
"My grandfather scolded me."
“Huh?”*2.
Kuonji Yuzu and Victor looked at Aozaki Aoko in shock at the same time. How could he scold you like this?!
Aozaki Aoko had a complicated expression, full of helplessness. She simply looked at Youzhu and said, "A node outside the nodule was artificially destroyed."
"Man-made?"
"node?"
Kuonji Yuzu and Victor asked questions one after another, and then they looked at each other. Victor was the first to speak: "I think it's Aozaki Touko."
"I think so too." Kuonji Yuzu nodded calmly: "That is to say, Aozaki Touko has helpers..."
"It is indeed not the behavior of a qualified magician to presumptuously invade the core of the spiritual vein and barrier, but if it is to help Aozaki Touko attract attention, then everything can be explained."
"..." Victor hesitated to speak...
Never mind, just take it as you say.
"Ahhh, don't worry about it. No matter if they are in the same group or not, or if it's Aozaki Touko or not, the most urgent thing is to deal with them first!!"
"Otherwise my grandfather will scold me again later!"
"Have you confirmed which part was damaged?"
"Confirmed."
"Then go ahead, I'll go with you."
Then, Kuonji Yuzu looked at Victor quietly.
Being stared at by that pair of quiet eyes, Victor felt as if he was seen through. After a long while, he suddenly chuckled, shook his head and said simply: "I won't go over. I'm more interested in what's happening here."
"Besides, I suggest you go directly to a nearby magic node that has not been attacked yet..."
"clear."
Jiuyuan Temple Yuju responded, and then was silent for a moment, and suddenly reminded: "If you plan to go in, it is best to inform in advance, otherwise it is easy to be attacked by the defense system without recognition."
"as well as……"
"Qingzi's grandfather doesn't have a good temper."
To be precise, he is quite weird and moody.
"..." Victor was silent and looked into the other's eyes for a long time.
"I see."
He nodded to Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu.
He accepted the momentary kindness, looked at the other party and nodded, then followed Qingzi away completely. Then he took a deep breath and turned to look at this so-called barrier.
The barrier is actually not solid, nor is it defensive in nature.
But just like the barrier of the Einzbern family, its main function is to hide - so, Azuma and Aoko never went in, probably more out of awe for the so-called grandfather.
A former magician.
This title alone was enough to crush the old me to death.
But there is no way.
Victor sighed, suppressed the thoughts in his mind, and looked at the barrier.
The next second, there was a bang.
Victor retracted the sword in his hand and looked at the huge hole that suddenly appeared in front of him and the completely different scenery inside.
Went in.
……
"Hey, Yuju, if you're worried about what Victor is up to, why don't you just take him with you?"
On the way, Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Yuzu quickly headed to the location of the next magic node, and asked curiously: "Are you still worried about him?"
"..."
Hearing this, Cang Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu silently glanced at his friend beside him and said speechlessly: "If I were worried, I wouldn't let him act."
"Then what are you hesitating about? You looked like you were hesitating about whether to pull him or not."
"Hey, don't try to hide it from me, Youzhu."
"I really want to give you a mirror to see what you look like now." Kuonji Yuju stared at Aozaki Aoko calmly for a while, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze: "Just because he helped you a few times, he completely bought you."
"Weren't you the one who hated him the most at first?"
"I hate him because of his personality, not because I doubt him." Aozaki Aoko said confidently: "But didn't we say it was easy at the beginning? It never hurts to be cautious."
"But I've also noticed these days that he didn't deceive us. His target is indeed my sister, but it seems not completely."
Ok?
Jiuyuansi Youzhu glanced at the other person in surprise. It’s really difficult for you to be able to see all this with your brain.
"Because he doesn't seem anxious at all." Seeing her friend's eyes, Aozaki Aoko suddenly became speechlessly annoyed, and said as a matter of course: "Every time he faces Aozaki Touko, he seems neither anxious nor slow, but he is very concerned about the other party's affairs..."
"It's too contradictory, isn't it?" Aozaki Aoko scratched her hair in distress and smiled, "But later I figured it out. Since that guy didn't lie to us, he must have been hiding something."
"Tell what can be told and hide what cannot be told. This is a very normal thing, isn't it? So I just don't bother to think about it."
"Anyway, since he's from the Magic Association, he shouldn't be a bad guy, right?"
……
Do not……
Rather, it was because the other party was from the Magician's Association that I felt awkward and confused.
Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu silently withdrew his gaze and thought silently.
Aozaki Aoko didn't know enough about the Magician's Association, but she knew it very well.
After all, the country where she was originally born was not this Far East, but the Britain that she now hates the most.
Normal magicians must be extreme egoists with extremely high purposefulness. Even the motivation that drives their actions should have a deep purposefulness.
The best way to describe them is to say that they will not get up early unless there is profit.
If we use Victor as an example, then if the other party's target is Aozaki Touko - then after the other party discovers Aozaki Touko, he will immediately attack at all costs, without having to consider anything else, and even without having to consider the impact on her and Aoko.
But what Victor has been showing is too different from those magicians in the Magicians Association.
Thinking of this, Kuonji Yuzu suddenly realized that if concealing things was normal, then Victor actually concealed a lot.
For example, it is true that his goal is to pursue Aozaki Touko, but what is the reason for his pursuit?
For example, he is a member of the Magicians' Association and a student of the Tower of London. It has been more than a month, why doesn't he need to go back yet?
Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu suddenly felt a little tired.
This was the first time that someone other than Aoko had made her feel similar emotions.
She didn't want any bad results, and over the past month, Victor seemed to have unknowingly become one of her few friends.
Of course, this is also related to the sense of identification brought by the witch's aura on the other person.
I hope it's nothing.
Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu thought silently.
This indulgence can also be regarded as a small test...
It.
Chapter 69: Crooked Core Spiritual Vein
Amidst the lush forests, there are several small courtyards that are barely visible. This is the residence of the Aozaki family - it is also an abandoned hidden place, or a place for practice.
In addition to being a magician, the Aozaki family is also a very orthodox magic family in Misaki City, although it is only the sixth generation...
But he is also very famous in the magic world.
This is of course also because the Aozaki family itself possesses "magic", and even has the factor that it can be inherited -
The price might be that the mystery itself would decline too quickly - or it might be due to magic. In short, since the third generation dug out that road, the magic circuits of the Aozaki family have been weakening day by day, until the generation of Aozaki Aoko's grandfather, the children born had almost completely lost their magical talent, and even this mansion began to become dilapidated.
It looked like no one had lived there for a long time.
This phenomenon was not alleviated until the birth of Aozaki Touko.
So if I were Aozaki Touko, I would also be very angry.
Victor looked at the magical wind howling deep in the mountains and thought faintly...
After working hard in this environment for sixteen years, I was suddenly told.
You are not the heir anymore or something like that.
