Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Chapter 130 Sharing of Clues
Because he was in a hurry, Tang Zijun did not say hello to Mr. Qingnang before this trip. He brought Hyacinth directly to the flower shop.

Hyacinth did not resist and looked like she was taking things as they came.

Tang Zijun didn't know whether he had established a preliminary trusting relationship with her. He always felt that this little girl was "silly".

If there is any benefit to becoming the ruler of the reversed world, then being able to travel through various spaces with the help of reflective mirrors is definitely the biggest convenience. Tang Zijun didn't dare to show these abilities before, but now that his identity is half revealed, he has relaxed a little.

But even so, he would still try his best not to scare the other party when traveling through time.

Tang Zijun still attaches great importance to other people's privacy. After all, no one likes the feeling of being peeped, and even less likes someone suddenly appearing in the mirror in front of them when they are doing something private.

So even though Tang Zijun had already confirmed that Mr. Qingnang was not at the front desk of the flower shop, he still chose to come here.

The flower shop is Mr. Qingnang's home ground. Every plant placed here is her eyeliner. I believe that the moment she arrives, she has attracted the other party's attention. This can be regarded as another way of saying hello.

As if she had sensed the rich natural energy, Hyacinth's spirit was not as low as before. She looked around curiously, her face full of surprise.

When he came back here, Tang Zijun didn't feel any changes in the flower shop. The room was still full of flowers, and even the murderous intent hidden in the plants had not changed.

"Hiss."

Just as Tang Zijun was hesitating whether to move a chair, a faint crawling sound came into his ears.

Looking back, I saw a big snake coiled on the spider plant above my head. Due to their similar colors, I might not notice their existence if I didn't look carefully.

"Hello, Xiaoqing." Tang Zijun greeted.

"Only Sister Tan can call me Xiao Qingsi." The little green snake spit out its tongue and stretched its neck with a complicated expression.

Although she was sure that the guy in front of her was not an enemy, it was still a bit difficult for her to accept that her former mortal enemy had become an ally all of a sudden. Looking at Tang Zijun in armor, the little green snake's eyes were a little gloomy.

"Are the scars on your body left by the greedy one?"

Tang Zijun had wanted to ask this question before. It was obviously a delicate and beautiful little snake, but there was a hideous scar at the corner of its eye, which was like a disfigurement, and it was almost unacceptable for ordinary people.

What concerned Tang Zijun more was that he felt the aura of a greedy person on the other person's scar. Although it was very faint, it was very obvious.

"What's it to you?" The little green snake turned its head away, hiding the scar where Tang Zijun couldn't see it.

Everyone loves beauty, even snakes are no exception. Although she did not sense any malice in Tang Zijun's tone, she always felt that the other party was being sarcastic.

Just then, a gentle voice came from the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Ever since being severely injured by the Greedy One, Xiaoqing has been left with this scar. I have tried many ways to remove it, but the Greedy One's power is very strange, and even my magic is useless."

Tang Zijun turned her head and the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of snow-white slender feet wearing bamboo shoes. Looking up, the long legs were straight but not tense.

Tan Zhixin must have just finished taking a shower. She was wearing a bathrobe, her long hair was tied up with a white towel, and her cheeks were still a little rosy.

As soon as their eyes met, Tang Zijun immediately looked away. "I've only heard that the Mirror Core has the ability to improve beauty, perhaps even remove scars."

"Mirror Core? Indeed, the Mirror Core and the Greedy One are of the same origin. Using the Greedy One's energy to eliminate the Greedy One's energy is indeed a method."

Tan Zhixin took a step forward, stepping gently on the stairs. She held the handrail with one hand and looked at Tang Zijun.

After a pause, she smiled and shook her head.

"While I appreciate your kindness, you may not know that this scar was left by a cadre of the Greedy Ones. To repair it, one would need a Mirror Core of at least cadre rank."

"I'm talking about cadre level." Tang Zijun raised his head. "Is senior cadre enough?"

Hearing this, Tan Zhixin's eyes flickered slightly. She originally thought that Qin Nan was just talking, but now seeing Tang Zijun's "rich and powerful" appearance, her evaluation of him has increased a lot.

Tan Zhixin certainly knew that Tang Zijun's action was to show goodwill to her, but it was undeniable that she really benefited from it.

Since reaching a cooperation agreement with Tang Zijun last time, Tan Zhixin has discussed this matter with Xiaoqing. For the magical girl camp, forming an alliance with the Greedy is a historic move.

This is true for everyone. Tan Zhixin can imagine what other magical girls will do after knowing this, but she does not regret the decision she made.

Judging from their current interactions, Tang Zijun is not yet 100% trustworthy, but at least he didn't lie, which is a good start.

However, Tan Zhixin herself was a little hesitant to accept the other party's kindness based on this point alone.

So after a moment of silence, she smiled and changed the subject.

“Mr. Wolf Rider, you’ve come to me in such a hurry so late, I’m afraid you’re not here for Xiao Qing, are you? Aren’t you going to introduce the person behind you?” Standing in Mr. Qing Nang’s plant domain, it was impossible for Hyacinth to hide. She was discovered the moment she appeared.

So after hearing Tan Zhixin's words, Hyacinthus carefully poked her head out from behind Tang Zijun's shoulder armor.

I have to say that Kamen Rider's transformation refresh setting is a wonderful mechanism for Tang Zijun. No matter what was stained on the armor before, as long as the transformation is canceled, those things will all disappear.

Now that he had transformed again, his armor was as good as new, and he didn't need to worry about the disgusting slime from before. Otherwise, Hyacinth would not have hidden behind his shoulder armor.

Noticing that Hyacinth's appearance was completely different from that of ordinary intelligent life, even though she was mentally prepared, Tan Zhixin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Could this be..."

"Her name is Hyacinth, and she's the flower fairy of Treecrown City." Tang Zijun took two steps forward and approached the tea table. "As you suspected, this is the race that Grandpa Qin Nan recorded in his diary."

Hyacinthus was still relatively unfamiliar with Mr. Qingnang and Xiaoqing, so she was a little scared, but she could feel the natural energy emanating from the woman in front of her, which was very comfortable.

"It's actually true." Tan Zhixin murmured, then turned around, opened the teacup and poured three cups of scented tea.

She first placed the first cup in front of Tang Zijun. Although she knew that Tang Zijun would not drink it (he did not drink it last time), she still had to be polite. Then she placed the second cup in front of Hyacinthus.

"Hello, Hyacinth, I'm the magical girl from Yamashiro. You can call me Mr. Qing Nang."

"Magical girl?" Hyacinth was startled by the pot of tea in front of her, but she quickly focused her attention on the new words.

"do not you know?"

Tan Zhixin paused as she picked up the teacup, her eyes filled with confusion.

As a fellow blesser of nature, just as Hyacinthus can sense the magic in Mr. Qingnang's body, Tan Zhixin can also sense the natural energy in Hyacinthus.

She had thought that the other party should know about magical girls, or at least have heard of them, but she didn't expect Hyacinth's reaction to be so strange.

"Don't think too much. Hyacinths are mysterious creatures. Their tribe has already left the real world at the end of the mythological era. It's normal that they don't know about your existence." Tang Zijun helped explain.

But the confusion in Tan Zhixin's eyes deepened. "God, the mythological era?"

"When I first heard about it, my reaction was even greater than yours." Tang Zijun spread his hands. "But judging by the current situation, it seems that we're not the only ones in this world who possess extraordinary abilities."

Tan Zhixin stared at Tang Zijun for a while, then smiled and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.

"Mr. Wolf Rider, every time you visit me, you always bring me new shocks. I just managed to repair my worldview a few days ago."

"I see you accept it pretty quickly."

Tang Zijun curled his lips, subconsciously picked up the teacup, paused, and put it back on the table.

"Let's get down to business. Our concerns are correct. The Outer Demons have already begun their attack. Lord Skeleton has sent people from the real world to corrode the roots of the Tree of Life. Many flower fairies have been persecuted, and the situation in Treetop King City is dire. Treetop King City is Hyacinth's home."

Tan Zhixin couldn't help but admire Tang Zijun's quick action, but on the surface she put away her smile and looked at Feng Xinzi seriously.

"Ms. Hyacinth, can you tell me more about the situation over there?"

Hyacinthus was still curious about the race of the magical girl, but she immediately came to her senses when she heard Tan Zhixin's words.

After a long silence, she nodded slightly.

"After the roots of the Tree of Life were corroded, the outer barrier of Treecrown Royal City was broken. Now the only thing that can protect us is the Heart of Life, but it won't last long."

"The heart of life?"

It was another new name, but this time Mr. Qingnang helped Tang Zijun to ask the question first.

"The Heart of Life is the source of the Tree of Life's power and is also a sacred object of our race. It not only represents the lifeblood of our people, but is also the embodiment of the Tree of Life."

I don’t know if it’s because of the natural energy in Mr. Qingnang, but Hyacinthus’s attitude towards her is obviously better than that towards Chang Lei.

Although it was the first time the two met, they looked like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

Listening quietly to Hyacinthus's story, Tan Zhixin tilted her head slightly as if thinking about something.

"I understand. The Heart of Life is to the Tree of Life like the rainbow crystal flower in the magical girl's hand."
