The Replica Magic Starting from Black Four

Chapter 126 Even an ugly duckling can become a swan.
Miki originally thought that Mariala would need some more time, but he didn't expect it to be so quick.

Investigating all the hidden outposts of the Diamond Kingdom's assassination division was no easy task. Even though Mariella was also a member of the assassination division, it was impossible for her to easily obtain information on the hiding places of all the assassins.

Mariala went to great lengths to seek revenge.

After wiping all the tables, Miki stretched his arms, looked up at the darkening sky outside the tavern, and smiled slightly.

The assassination squad probably prefers to operate at night as well.

Miki's plan to take action against the Diamond Kingdom's assassination squad wasn't just about avenging Mariala.

night.

"In the end, the ugly duckling turned into a swan and lived happily ever after with the other swans."

Inside the tavern, Miki finished telling the story with a smile on her face and in a calm tone.

"Great."

"The Ugly Duckling will surely have a happy life from now on."

"Wow, that's amazing."

Mar and the others sat around Yumu, each speaking excitedly.

"How could the ugly duckling turn into a swan?" A voice filled with doubt and confusion came from among the children.

Before Mumu could speak, another voice rang out.

"Why is that impossible? Brother Asta was able to join the Magic Knights even without magic, so why can't the Ugly Duckling turn into a swan?"

Luca's resolute voice immediately rang out from among the children.

Upon hearing this, Rebecca's younger siblings immediately fell silent, each displaying a thoughtful and agreeing expression.

"Luca, you can't say that!"

Rebecca, who was calculating accounts at the counter, immediately looked up when she heard Luca's words and spoke in a somewhat serious voice.

"Yes, sister." Luca shrank back in fright and glanced cautiously at Mumu.

"Haha, your analogy is quite apt."

"Magic itself is full of miraculous power. When you grow up, you may become members of the Magic Knights, or even more powerful figures."

Momoki smiled and spoke.

Rebecca walked over from behind the counter, reached back and smoothed her red hair, feigning a serious expression.

"Now that you've heard the story, why don't you go back to your rooms and rest? The tavern opens tomorrow, and you all need to get up early to help out."

Rebecca spoke in a somewhat stern voice.

Goodnight, sister, brother Mumu.

Mar, Luca, and the others quickly got up, bowed to Mumu and Rebecca, and ran upstairs to their rooms.

Seeing this, Mumu couldn't help but chuckle.

“You can’t always be too gentle with children.” Rebecca looked at Mumu beside her, her cheeks slightly flushed, her serious expression disappearing, and said softly.

"That's true."

Momo nodded with a light laugh.

Seeing Rebecca's relaxed smile, and recalling the story she had just heard, she suddenly blurted out:

"The ugly duckling was able to turn into a swan, perhaps it was a swan to begin with."

"Ok?"

Mumu paused, looking at Rebecca with slight surprise.

This argument actually existed in her previous life. The story itself was meant to encourage people to be positive and optimistic. What surprised Mumu was that, given Rebecca's personality, she would suddenly come up with such a statement.

“My father was a merchant who traveled between towns to transport goods. He was killed by a nobleman because he accidentally entered the territory of a nobleman.”

"When this news reached us, my mother was pregnant with my youngest brother, Cobb. Upon hearing the news, she also died in childbirth." Rebecca spoke calmly, as if telling a completely unrelated story. At the end, Rebecca looked at Yuki with slightly reddened eyes:

"I just hope that Mar and the others are safe and sound. Whether it's the Magic Knights or the nobles, those are matters for important people."

Yumu looked at Rebecca in silence.

He knew beforehand that Rebecca's parents had passed away, but he didn't know how they died. He hadn't asked them, as it was a very private matter.

"I'm sorry for reminding you of something sad."

Looking at Rebecca, whose eyes were slightly red and whose expression was resolute, Yumu said apologetically.

“That’s all in the past, and there’s nothing to be sad about.” Rebecca shook her head, her voice calm, seemingly unconcerned.

Mumu knew why Rebecca acted indifferent; rather than being "indifferent," it was more like she was "powerless."

Is it illegal for nobles to commit murder?

Whether or not they commit a crime depends on who the other party is.

If a civilian trespasses into one's territory, killing him is simply acceptable.

"So, you just want to open a small, ordinary restaurant or pub and raise your younger siblings. But is that really what you want?"

Looking at the stubbornness on Rebecca's face, Mumu suddenly asked.

He didn't directly ask Rebecca if she wanted revenge, because it wouldn't be meaningful to her at the moment.

“What does it matter?” Rebecca smiled smugly, then turned and walked towards the counter. “There’s one account I still need to settle. We open tomorrow, so you should get some rest.”

As she spoke, Rebecca's slightly red eyes disappeared, and she returned to her usual self, as if the conversation had never happened.

I don't know if the Ugly Duckling is a swan.

"Even the ugly duckling can become a swan and possess the power of a swan."

Miki spoke in a soothing, calm voice, as if joking, yet also quite serious.

He possesses the ability to bestow magic upon others, but this "bestowal" is not simply bestowing a magical attribute, but rather the very essence of magic!

Magic originates from the soul.

The source of magic is the foundation of a mage's power.

Among the many magical sources in Miki's possession, the three strongest are: the fire magic source of Fagraine, the mineral magic source of Mars, and the wind magic source of Yuno.

These three sources of magic are not only a kind of power, but also represent potential, the potential of a captain!
If Yuki bestows these three magical essences upon others, then those individuals will possess the potential to become captains!

Rebecca paused, looking at Yuki with some surprise and confusion, clearly not understanding what Yuki had just said.

"It's nothing, I'm going back to my room now, you should get some rest too." Yi Mu shook her head and walked upstairs to her room.

Rebecca stood behind the counter, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Mumu disappearing down the stairs, momentarily lost in thought.

Mogi returned to his room and locked the door behind him.

"Rebecca seems to be in a different mood today."

Miki murmured softly to herself, then dismissed the thought. Women's minds are hard to fathom, let alone a young girl's.

Maybe it's just that I'm in a bad mood for a few days every month.

Shake his head.

"Hopefully, Mariala isn't in a hurry."

Mogi raised his hand and grabbed at the void in front of him, retrieving the mask magic tool he had previously obtained from Domina in the alternate dimension.

When Mariella transformed into his appearance, she used this magical tool.

Following the image in her mind, Miki put on the mask, and with the help of the magical tool, her entire body underwent a tremendous change.
