Magical User Aozaki Aoko Case Files

After seeing the most important monarchs vote, the remaining monarchs also made their choices and cast their votes.

"The resolution is passed," said Barthelmero Lorelai after looking around. "The fourth magician, Aozaki Aoko, is officially awarded the title of "Blue" from the three primary colors of the Magic Association."

"The last topic," Lorelai continued, "Do you agree to lift the seal designation of Grand Puppet Master Aozaki Touko?"

On this issue, the many monarchs of the Clock Tower made a choice that was different from the one they made regarding the Qingzi issue.

In other words, the result of the vote just now was an overwhelming approval, with only one vote against from the democratic stakeholders.

Now, on the question of whether to agree to revoke the seal designation of Aozaki Touko, the votes for and against are close to being the same, with slightly more votes in favor.

This result actually has nothing to do with Aozaki Touko's popularity in the Clock Tower. It's mainly because her achievements are too important, otherwise Touko's teacher Baru Yeleita would not have personally submitted an application to have Touko designated for sealing.

In this clock tower that emphasizes mysterious inheritance and protection, the value of Aozaki Touko, who is able to replicate both body and soul, can be imagined. Or rather, every monarch wants this technology to be preserved forever to ensure that they can reach the source one day.

In this process, the interests of Aozaki Touko herself became the least important, because as long as Aozaki Touko's brain, eyeballs, spine, nervous system, and magic circuits were preserved, it could be said that "this magician" was properly preserved.

In the future, if there is a need to use Orange's puppet technology, by controlling this "Aozaki Orange" who remains in the Sealed Designated Execution Bureau, her achievements can be ensured to be reproduced.

However, considering the possibility of retaliation from the Fourth Magician, the result of this vote was that more votes were in favor of canceling the seal. After all, although magicians lack humanity, they are not fearless of death.

"Then, the resolution is passed," Barthelmero Lorelei said solemnly, "It is agreed to revoke the seal designation of the Grand Puppet Master Aozaki Touko. You can notify the Seal Designation Execution Bureau now."

Although the Sealing Designated Execution Bureau can resist the orders of the monarchs to a certain extent, it cannot go against the results of the Crown's decision, even the Secret Ritual Arbitration Bureau cannot do so.

"Then this is the end of the crown decision," Lorelai said as she stood up from her seat, "Thank you all for coming."

After saying this, she was the first to leave the meeting room. The remaining monarchs looked at each other, and after a slight hesitation, they did the same thing.

Some monarchs were slightly dissatisfied with the fact that there were only a few issues in the Crown Resolution after the Clock Tower experienced the shock this time. However, seeing that the leaders of the largest factions had no objections, these people had nothing to say. After all, no one could afford to mess with the magicians.

Although the Clock Tower looks like a whole, it is actually still an organization that is barely put together by a group of magicians with their own interests. It is absolutely impossible for them to take revenge just because one of their members was killed in retaliation. They are just a group of people who will not do anything without benefits.

After staying in the hotel for a few days, Aoko and Chengzi decided to go out for a walk because they were bored.

As an old Londoner, Orange naturally acts as a tour guide and introduces Qingzi to all kinds of delicious, fun and beautiful shops and attractions.

The London in this Type-Moon world was cleaner and tidier than the London in her "previous life" memory. Some corners were not filled with excrement and garbage, but overall it was not very clean.

After a brief stroll, Qingzi discovered that it's not that there are no good restaurants in London, but the delicious food in these restaurants is usually not native British cuisine. Instead, there are more French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and other types of food.

Because in addition to the world-famous "Looking Up at the Stars", Qingzi was also taken by Chengzi to experience the famous Scottish delicacy haggis today.

This is a dish made by chopped up sheep heart, sheep lungs, sheep liver and other ingredients and stuffing them into a whole sheep stomach. It is served with gravy and mashed potatoes, which makes the British very happy.

However, Qingzi refused without hesitation. The horrible appearance of the food made it difficult for her to have any appetite, let alone try it herself.

As they continued to wander around, an owl familiar flew over and handed Aoko a cylinder with a letter in it.

Chapter 66 Einzbern

Aoko opened the cylinder in front of Chengzi and poured out the three documents inside.

One of them was written by Barthelmero Lorelei himself, informing Aoko of the voting results of the Crown Resolution and the awarding of the three primary color titles.

The second document is a certificate of granting the title of the three primary colors with magical power, issued in the name of the London Magic Society.

The third document was issued to Aozaki Touko by the Seal Designation Execution Bureau, informing Touko that her seal designation had been completely revoked.

"These guys are not too slow in their work efficiency," Qingzi handed the file to Chengzi for review, "but they don't seem to have any compensation in terms of benefits, just a title that is just an empty reputation."

"This is already a rare achievement for the Magic Association," Orange said sarcastically, "Those guys were willing to give in this time because of your identity as a magician and your powerful destructive power. Otherwise, the Association would definitely not cancel my seal designation."

"Well, we finally have a result," Qingzi casually stuffed the document back into the cylinder and threw it into the imaginary pocket, saying, "Then we will almost have to go to the next stop. Please help me lead the way in Europe."

"You'd better protect me," Chengzi looked at Qingzi with a scrutinizing look and said, "Last time, in order to deal with you, I offended those guys badly..."

According to the records of the magic world, the reason why the First Magic is called the First is because it continued (or created) the mysterious foundation of the surface world. By denying the concept of nothingness, it created and proved the imaginary element ether, allowing magicians to continue after the end of the Age of Gods.

But in fact, the oldest magic is not the first magic, but the third magic that can achieve the materialization of the soul.

For unknown reasons, the magician of the third magic left this world on the eve of the first year of the Common Era, and the third magic was lost. (It is speculated that he probably entered the root by using the third magic)

The Third Magician's disciples stayed in their teacher's workshop, trying to follow in their teacher's footsteps.

But the reason why magicians are magicians is because they can do things that others cannot do (impossible).

In order to reproduce the teacher's miracle, the disciples designed an alternative plan, which was to use their own teacher as the prototype, create an individual identical to the magician, and let this individual reproduce the third magic.

After a thousand years of hard work, many magicians of Einzbern created the closest artificial human to the third magician - Justisia Rizleich von Einzbern, and achieved almost the same performance as their teacher.

Although this android has achieved a state of not aging, her physical condition is very fragile and she is unable to leave the Einzbern castle, the Winter Castle, located in a forest somewhere in Germany.

This result of both success and failure made the Einzbern magicians not happy at all, because rather than saying that Justissa was the result of their hard research, it would be more accurate to say that it was born by chance due to various unexpected factors when imitating and replicating the body and soul of the magician.

Essentially, the birth of Justisa had nothing to do with their skills and efforts as disciples of magicians.

Justisa's third magic is a magic that can only be used once and for only one generation. Using this level of third magic, it would take many years to materialize even a human soul, let alone complete the ascension of all mankind.

The unwilling disciples continued to conduct experiments, hoping to reproduce and perfect the accidental creation of Justisia, but due to the limits of their abilities, this wish was never fulfilled.

The disheartened disciples left the Einzbern Workshop one after another, abandoning the artificial humans they had created in order to realize the third magic.

However, these androids continued to study technology in response to the magicians' original instructions, and even after all the creators died, they continued to move forward towards the dreams of their creators.

The androids with mechanical personalities were more determined than the magician's disciples. They used Justissa as a model, creating new androids generation after generation to keep Einzbern running.

Finally, five hundred years after the magicians left the Einzbern Castle, these artificial humans (devices) came up with a new plan, which was to use Justissa to create a so-called "third magic wide-area operation device."

The androids used Justisa's incomplete third magic characteristic to create a larger magic ritual, decomposing Justisa's magic circuits and replacing them with a human universe composed of magic formulas, which is the Holy Grail known to everyone in later generations.

The essence of the Greater Holy Grail is actually to amplify the incomplete third magic that can be operated through Justisia's magic circuit to complete the ascension of all mankind.

However, the androids discovered that they could not carry out this plan by themselves, because the human world was too complicated for them. They had no way of entering the human world on their own to obtain enough resources to hold the third magic ceremony.

But at this time, Machiri Zorgen, who was still young and too obsessed with the goal of "eradicating human evil", visited the Winter City. The old bug, who was still a beautiful young man, and the androids hit it off and joined the seemingly unreliable Heaven's Grail Project.

Around the end of the eighteenth century, in order to avoid the pursuit of the Templar Church, Machili Zorgen and Justisa had to leave Europe and go to a place that was out of reach of the Templar Church at that time, that is, Japan in the Far East.

After arriving in Japan, the two of them met a local magician, Tousaka Nagato, who was a disciple of the second magician Zelrich.

After the three parties communicated, Toosaka Nagato said that he needed to go to the outside of the world through the "hole" opened when the Heaven's Grail was activated, and then achieve his goal of touching the root.

Since the three parties had the same interests, they hit it off and formed an alliance, and the Three Great Families of Fuyuki were born.

It is worth mentioning that after they designed and constructed the Holy Grail War, Gem Onzelrich, a magician and magic marshal, also came to Fuyuki. His purpose was to prevent other magicians from interfering in the Holy Grail War and he attended the ceremony as a witness.

However, based on this information, a little reasoning can lead to the conclusion that the only person who could interfere with the Holy Grail War ceremony at that time was the Fourth Magician, besides Jewel himself, so it is obvious who the "other magicians" Zelrich mentioned are referring to.

Miss Aoko, who is eager to seize the Greater Holy Grail and Einzbern's assets, is still unaware of this information...

Chapter 67: Winter City on the Rhine

The Aozaki sisters, dressed in fashionable winter clothes, are now driving an off-road vehicle along the Rhine River.

The two of them had been in Europe for three days already, and the news had been leaked from somewhere, causing them to be attacked more than ten times by various magicians and mercenaries in Europe (there were also magicians among the mercenaries). It seemed that the news that Aoko had caused a big disturbance in the Magic Association had spread.

But why did these guys dare to rush up to her even though they knew she was a magician?

"How is it, are we in the right place?" Qingzi, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, asked Chengzi, who was concentrating on looking at the map beside him.

"'Located in a forest in a mountainous area near a river in Germany, and it snows all year round'. If we judge based on this information, then the Einzbern workshop should be in this forest." Orange took out a marker and drew a circle on the map and said, "We should drive in this direction for about ten minutes before we can park."

Aoko nodded, made some slight adjustments according to the direction indicated by Chengzi, and then headed towards the designated location.

The Einzbern Castle is located deeper in the forest. Since all members are androids who live in homes, they do not need ordinary means of transportation. There is only a small path connecting the inside and the outside.

The materials necessary for the operation of the workshop can be transported in through the use of special automatic puppets, so that the only access to and from the forest cannot be entered by car.

The two parked the car on a relatively higher ground at the edge of the forest and jumped out. Qingzi took out a telescope from the trunk and looked into the depths of the forest, while Chengzi drew runes with hidden functions on their SUV.

"There's a huge barrier over there, and you can't see the inside," Qingzi said, pointing to the depths of the forest. "Get ready. We're going in from above."

After saying that, Aoko used the flying technique and flew with Orange in her arms to a place above the Einzbern hemispherical barrier.

She carried Orange on her shoulder, freed one hand, and then felt the distance to the hemispherical barrier. Then Qingzi began to cast a spell with one hand, and brought Orange to the inner side of the barrier using the Anywhere Door.

The reason why we don't destroy this barrier is that once things are done perfectly, these will all be the property of the Aozaki family...it would not be good to destroy it.

"Can you hug me in a normal position?" Orange's angry voice came from behind Qingzi, because the place on her shoulder that she could reach out and touch was Orange's little butt.

She patted Orange's butt as if to comfort her, making a slapping sound. It was the first time she knew that patting on thermal tights would make such a sound?

Orange's body began to tremble, as if she was preparing to explode. Aoko had no choice but to resume the princess hug position before Orange completely exploded.

"Look," Aoko immediately changed the subject and said, "Over there should be the Einzbern castle, the Winter City. It's quite spectacular, isn't it?"

"Humph!" Orange said angrily, "It does look pretty big. These androids must be quite rich!"

"After all, it is the family of the third magician," Qingzi said with a fake serious expression, "and for so many years, there have been suckers who transfer payments to these people. It would be strange if they didn't have money."

"...You said that the chance for me to obtain the third magic is in Einzbern?" Orange asked after a moment of hesitation.

"To be precise, you have actually reached a part of the realm of the third magic, sister," Qingzi said as they flew, "it's just that the previous third magicians have caused misunderstandings among the world."

"What do you mean by that?" Orange frowned, staring at Qingzi's face and asked, "When did I have anything to do with the third magic?"

"When I just obtained the fifth magic mark, I actually didn't master the complete method. You must understand this, right?" Qingzi asked.

Orange nodded. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to defeat Aoko and take back the magic mark.

"In fact, although my grandfather is a magician, his mastery of the fifth magic is incomplete," Aoko explained, "Because if it is complete, then the shortcut to the root will disappear."

"Wait, you mean..." Orange seemed to have grasped the point and said a little excitedly, "...But that's not right, isn't the third magic a means to reach there? It should be something that has been completed, right?"

"The Third Magician only completed a part of the Third Magic before reaching the outside of the world," Qingzi said, "and according to my speculation, the Third Magic is roughly divided into three parts, namely soul materialization, soul replication, and soul transfer."

"It's not that no one has ever achieved soul transfer in the past," Qingzi continued, "but most of them were done by installing or cultivating a device in the body, and then 'shrinking' the soul into that device. It's not true soul transfer at all."

"And your act of creating a complete replica is actually soul duplication," Qingzi glanced meaningfully at Orange in her arms, "You have already split, reassembled, and digitized your self, right, Orange?"

"Yes, so what?" Orange said openly, "You don't think that I'm not myself if I do this, do you?"

"That's just the worry of a mediocre person!" Orange sneered arrogantly, looking like a little devil.

"No, I just think you're pretty amazing," Qingzi praised sincerely, "Unlike guys like me who inherited a fortune, Chengzi, you've almost reached the height of 'law' on your own. You deserve praise!"
