Kamen Rider Evolution

The sky gradually darkened. Jiang Xia sat on a chair in the park by the river, admiring the sparkling sea water. The sea here was very calm, without any so-called rough waves, not even high tide or low tide, probably because there was no moon.

The sun gradually sank below the sea level, and the hazy afterglow spread over the mountains above the sea.

The magic kingdom sparkles at night, the whole city lights up, the neon lights on the streets and the colorful magic light streams combine together, it is unreal and brilliant.

The top floor of the towering tower lit up on the sea that was gradually turning iron-gray. The sea was originally pitch black, but the shadow of the tower reflected on the sea was like a pillar of light in the darkness, splitting the vast ocean in two.

"Xiao Li fell asleep?" Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at Cao Zhenqingren who was walking towards him with his hands in his pockets.

"Well, the uncle is still the same uncle. After hearing that we were magicians who came to this world accidentally, he generously lent us the room upstairs for temporary stay." Cao Zhenqingren nodded, sat down next to Jiang Xia and crossed his hands on his chest.

Of course, no matter how kind-hearted we are, there is only one room that can be rented out, but there are three of us now, so two of them simply don't sleep in it.

"It seems that Wajima Shigeru in this world is also a good person." Jiang Xia handed the thing he had just bought wrapped in a cowhide bag next to the chair to Soma Haruto, "In this world, I also found this."

"What is this?" Soma Haruto's eyes lit up when he saw the familiar packaging bag.

"It's the donuts made by the owner of the pink food truck you like. Since we are isomorphs, the taste should be pretty much the same."

"grateful."

Cao Zhenqingren took the leather bag, took a bite of the donut wrapped in pink icing, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, the donuts made by the boss are still delicious."

"How much? I'll give it to you." Haruto Soma put the donut he had taken two bites of into his pocket and took out his wallet.

It’s a good relationship, but you still have to pay when you buy things.

"Forget about that. Money doesn't circulate in this world. Instead, people pay with magic power." Jiang Xia raised his right hand and showed Qingren the magic ring on his middle finger.

"So that's how it is. This world is really quite nice." Haruto Soma put away his wallet.

Because magic power can be restored automatically, just like physical strength, everyone is born with a certain amount of wealth to control.

If the magic power in Jiang Xia's body could be circulated in the market and be equivalent to the money in this world, he could probably buy the entire city with the magic power.

Of course, this doesn't make any sense.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you something, White Magician." Soma Haruto raised his head and put the donuts in his hand back into the bag. His tone also changed inexplicably and became serious.

It was as if the scene suddenly changed from being funny and joyful to a life-and-death farewell scene.

He had been holding it in for a long time but had no chance to ask. Events involving the golden wizard and the magic kingdom happened one after another, and the oppressive feeling in his heart made him choose to keep silent for the time being.

But the doubts in his heart must be resolved sooner or later. He no longer wants to wait until he returns. He wants to know the answers to the questions now.

So today, he could only eat two bites of his favorite donuts and had to put them aside.

"Okay." Jiang Xia roughly guessed what Soma Haruto wanted to ask and agreed.

"Ali, is she...really dead?" asked Cao Zhenqingren in a low voice.

The light of the night slowly faded in Cao Zhenqingren's eyes. He lowered his head, as if his body was about to be submerged under the dark sea level, and was shrouded in overwhelming darkness.

"Well, Dimu Li died before she got along with you. She is different from you. She is not a victim of the Witch's Banquet. You are the only survivor of the Witch's Banquet from beginning to end. The others have been transformed into phantoms due to forced despair." Jiang Xia answered as he looked at Soma Haruto who lowered his head and his whole body was shrouded in shadows.

Only those who survive despair can become magicians, and those who fail to survive will either have their magic powers abolished and become ordinary people, or die on the spot and their bodies will be taken over by a phantom. There is no third possibility.

Hearing Jiang Xia's answer, Cao Zhenqingren's whole body trembled slightly, and continued: "Because why?" "Disease, a terminal illness that cannot be cured by modern medicine. She has been very weak since she was a child. As she grew up, her health gradually deteriorated. In the end, she could only be bedridden. When Xiaoli was sixteen years old, she passed away on a stormy night." Jiang Xia said truthfully.

These data are recorded in great detail in the Earth database, and after he eliminated Dimu Zou, he had already read through Dimu Li's entire life.

"After Xiaoli passed away, his father was a genius who was very proficient in various fields. After he tried all methods and couldn't change the fact that his daughter died, he chose magic."

"Magic..." Soma Haruto raised his hand, looked at the fiery red magician's ring on his middle finger, and turned to look at Jiang Xia.

"Yes, magic." Jiang Xia took out the magic ring of hope, "The Philosopher's Stone has the power to resurrect the dead, but it requires a lot of magic power."

"The Witch's Feast exists for this very purpose. Through the ritual, using ghouls as human pillars, you kidnap humans with magician qualifications and force them into despair, and then collect magic power. This is the whole process of your birth as a magician."

"It's just that because the resurrection ceremony of the first Witch Feast was not perfect, Xiao Li needs a lot of magic power to maintain his body."

"He wanted to hold the Witch Feast again, so he had no choice but to give his daughter to a newly born magician to maintain his daughter's body for him."

"At the same time, through research, he found that he only needs to replace the human pillar from a ghoul to a slightly skilled magician to be able to completely resurrect his daughter, which is about your level." Jiang Xia pointed at Soma Haruto and said.

"You are actually Ali's father!"

Haruto Soma's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up from his chair, as if there were springs under his feet. This was even more shocking than the fact that the white magician was the mastermind behind it.

It all makes sense. Jiang Xia is the one who held the Witch's Banquet. He is also Ali's father and the mastermind behind the whole thing. Now that Ali has been resurrected, it means that the second Witch's Banquet was a success.

When was the second witch banquet held and why did he have no recollection of it?

Or did the White Magician not choose to use his body as a human pillar to resurrect Alex.

After asking the question, Cao Zhenqingren's doubts were not resolved, but accumulated more and more.

"Did I say I was Xiaoli's father?" Jiang Xia raised his eyebrows.

"But you are the white magician." Haruto Soma's mind was completely confused.

"Who said there can only be one white magician? Don't you have two?"

"The white magician you know is dead. I killed him with my own hands." Jiang Xia said with a stunner in mind.

"The Second Witch Banquet will affect the entire Tokyo, so I had no choice but to do this. However, before he died, I promised him that I would revive Xiao Li, and now it seems that I have done it."

Jiang Xia waited for a while. The information was fragmented and needed to be sorted out slowly before he could understand it.

After a long time, Cao Zhenqingren looked up again, and it seemed that he had figured it out.

"Any other questions?" Jiang Xia asked.

Cao Zhenqingren shook his head. Although his mind was still a little confused, he roughly understood it.

There are two white magicians, one is Ali's father, and the other is the one who explained things to him in front of him.

"No problem then prepare for battle, the enemy is coming." A bright light shone through the trees on the other side of them, and now everything was quiet except for the rustling of leaves.

But that was not the sound of leaves being beaten by the breeze, but the sound of some monsters passing through the woods. (End of this chapter)
