The correct way to open the magical girl

"Do you mean for me to go find that egg?"

"Yes, that egg is crucial. With it, you have the capital to shake the foundation of the world." Li Sijie replied.

"Is it that powerful?"

"Of course, the 'original monster' that Chihime Ishigaki mentioned, and the 'oldest monster' that White Spider mentioned, are both referring to the same entity—you may even have heard of it."

"Oh? I've heard of it?"

"Have you read the scriptures? Any version will do."

"I've read a little bit. When Filia is free, she will tell us some stories from the scriptures. When we were doing the ricochet reading before, I also asked the magical girl to read the scriptures." Li Xuan nodded.

"The third chapter of the first volume of the scripture records that the ancient serpent tempted the first man to eat the forbidden fruit, which led to the first man being expelled from paradise. He himself was also exiled by the gods and cursed to be eternal enemies with the descendants of women," said Li Sijie.

"You mean: the ancient snake is the original demon, the ancestor of Chihiro Ishigaki?"

"More than that, let me read you a passage of scripture. Please carefully consider its meaning: 'I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; her offspring will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.'"

"Hatred... between your descendants and her descendants... Are you saying that the confrontation between magical girls and monsters was already destined from that time?!" Li Xuan said in surprise.

"This is just a guess, and the evidence is not sufficient. But judging from the church's movements, it is very likely to be true." Li Sijie said solemnly.

"Oh my god, this egg can be said to be as impressive as the final boss. If we can find it, it will be of great significance." Li Xuan nodded.

"There's no rush for this matter. You should still act according to your plan, but don't let anyone else know." As Li Sijie said this, her legs suddenly went weak and she had to support herself on the table with her hands to avoid falling down.

"Are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while?" Li Xuan helped her up and let her lean on him.

"It's all your fault... You pushed me with so much force, did you really think of me as your enemy?" Li Sijie said coquettishly with a tone of reproach.

"How can you blame me? It's obviously because you are too shallow." Li Xuan said with a smile while smelling the fragrance of her hair.

"Okay~ I'm not kidding you. I'm indeed a little tired. Please give me a bed to rest for a while - a softer mattress and a quieter one would be better." Li Sijie blushed and leaned her face against Li Xuan's chest and whispered.

"Then sleep in my room. Usually witches won't go in easily, and it's quiet here." After saying that, Li Xuan opened the portal and sent Li Sijie to his room on the top floor of the dormitory building.

As soon as she entered the room, Li Sijie frowned. "This room is such a mess: game consoles, comic books, figurines, and models are scattered everywhere. It's like a flea market."

"Because I sleep with the witch most of the time, I usually only come to this room when I don't want to be disturbed. You can live here for now, and I will ask Lonai to clean it later." Li Xuan said a little embarrassedly.

"Let me clean up - don't worry, I won't lose your treasure." Li Sijie picked up the Takarada Rika figurine on the bedside table and couldn't help but stroke her round and plump thighs.

"Aren't you tired? You should go to sleep first. It won't be too late to clean up after you wake up."

"No, when I see the house is so messy, I will keep thinking about it and can't sleep well." Li Sijie shook her head, cheered up again, rolled up her sleeves and started to tidy up the room quickly.

Li Xuan felt uncomfortable watching her do it alone, so he wanted to help. Unexpectedly, Li Sijie was so fast at finishing things that no matter what he did, he seemed to be in the way. So he could only stand aside and watch. He was even chased around by the broom when mopping the floor.

In less than an hour, the messy room was tidied up neatly, and various ornaments were placed in display cabinets according to categories, and the utilization of space was almost maximized.

"I feel comfortable now." Li Sijie stretched lazily in satisfaction as she looked at the neat and tidy room. Then she untransformed, put her hands on the buttons of her shirt, and stared at Li Xuan: "I'm going to change clothes. Please leave."

Li Xuan suddenly laughed: "Is there any part of your body that I haven't seen?"

Li Sijie blushed, and with a hint of embarrassment, she pushed Li Xuan out. "That's different, stupid brother. You're not allowed to come in for ten hours!"

After Li Sijie finished speaking, she closed the door. The lock cylinder turned and the door was locked with a click.

"This little girl is really quite unique." Li Xuan smiled and stopped bothering her. He opened the portal and returned to the prison in Fox King City.

"I have already dealt with Li Sijie. I threw her into the dungeon of the False Evil Land. You don't have to worry about her anymore." Li Xuan walked out of the prison building and said to the women waiting outside.

When the girls heard Li Xuan say this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: after all, Li Sijie was their number one enemy at the moment. If they accidentally let her escape, no one could bear the responsibility. Only when Li Xuan dealt with it personally could everyone feel at ease.

"Master, we are completely safe now. Without the magical girl as an insider, the church cannot open the shield of the Lost Land. We can only worry." Xu Rou said proudly.

"It's not time to relax yet. How do you know that the church has no other means to open the shield? Besides, we can't be satisfied with the status quo. If we just enjoy ourselves here, sooner or later we will be conquered by the magical girls." Li Xuan reminded.

"Huh? That's true...then what should we do?" Xu Rou asked worriedly.

"Miss Xingbai." Li Xuan called softly.

"I'm here, Lord Black King." Xingbai poked his head out from the little spider, looking a little lost. It was not known whether it was because he hadn't played games recently, or because Li Xuan easily tore through his thousand-layer barrier.

Chapter 412 Rumors of the Great Guard

"Have you put away the seven tokens?" Li Xuan asked.

"The token is kept by me. Since there is no instruction from the benefactor, it will not be returned to everyone for the time being." Wang Li said hurriedly.

"Well done. Give them to Miss Xingbai first, and then collect some more black crystals. We need to restart the barrier." Li Xuan said.

"Are you looking for the lost egg?" Xing Bai's eyes suddenly lit up. She originally thought that Li Xuan didn't care much about this matter and that she had no chance to make up for the regret of the past, but she didn't expect that he would take the initiative to mention it.

"You look very excited." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"After all... it was me who sent the egg into the sea with my own hands. Now that I think about it, I feel a little guilty. If I hadn't sent it away, but left it in the Lost Land, maybe it would have hatched by now." Xingbai said dejectedly.

"Things in the world are unpredictable, how can everything go as planned? The war was not going well at that time, so it was normal for you to send it away - little fox... No, Peroxia, I'll leave this matter to you." Li Xuan originally wanted to point to Wang Li, but when he thought about the fact that the Lost Land had been entrusted to Peroxia for management, he decided not to bypass her and directly take charge.

"Don't worry, benefactor. I'll prepare it right away~" Perosha nodded and immediately took people to arrange the preparations.

With the lingering power of his victory over the S-rank magical girl, Perosha's power far surpassed that of the former Loose Wolf King. Wherever his decree reached, crowds flocked to respond. In less than a day, a mountain of black crystals was transported to an open space on the outskirts of the royal city.

"It's too much. One third would be enough." Xingbai said in surprise as he looked at the Black Crystal Mountain in front of him.

"It's safer to have more, and the excess can also be transported to the research institute for scientific research purposes." Li Xuan said.

"Lord Black King, please give me a large puppet. I need it to amplify my magic." Xingbai asked.

"No problem." Li Xuan opened a huge portal and teleported the huge spider puppet over.

"Also, please help me find the members of the six tribes except the spiders. I need them to inject their magic power into the barrier."

"I have already arranged the people. They are all blood relatives of the War Marshal's family. I have already told them that everything is up to you." Peroxia waved his hand, and the six people who had been prepared in advance walked towards Xingbai together.

"It will probably take me a day to set up the barrier. This process cannot be disturbed. Please stand further away." Xingbai said finally.

Li Xuan nodded and led everyone back to the royal city, leaving only Xing Bai outside. She then took a deep breath, jumped into the giant puppet, and instructed her six relatives to place the tokens in designated locations. Then, she began to weave the barrier in circles, like a web.

While Xingbai was weaving the web, Li Xuan called Tang Xi to his side and asked about the matters at Zhenshou Temple.

"Do you know anything about the Great Guardian Xuandie? I heard that she is a very powerful person." Li Xuan asked.

"Master, you are joking. How can I, at my level, come into contact with the Grand Guardian? My understanding of the Grand Guardian is limited to knowing her name - and that's what I heard from my teacher. The Grand Guardian never leaves the tower of the headquarters. Not to mention me, even my teacher can't see her." Tang Xi spread his hands.

"But I heard that she is known as the strongest magical girl in history? She should be quite famous, right?" Li Xuan asked.

"I haven't heard of it... Wait, Master, you don't want to attack the Grand Guard, do you? Don't let me go to the front line when the time comes. Let Bingrui go. She is more resistant to beatings." Tang Xi said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'm just asking for some information." Li Xuan laughed when he saw her frightened look.

"That's good, that's good... In fact, we don't know how powerful the Great Guardian is. But many people say that the reason she doesn't leave the mountain is that she is personally guarding a very powerful guardian object. Once, the teacher got drunk and mentioned it: saying that the guardian object broke free from the seal several times, and the Great Guardian dealt with it all by herself. But these are all groundless rumors, with no truth to them, so I didn't dare tell you at the beginning." Tang Xi said carefully.

"Then let's talk about the branch of Zhenshou Temple. The headquarters can't move easily right now, but the branch can at least make some moves." Li Xuan said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the Zhenshouguan branch." Tang Xi felt relieved when he heard it, sat down and drew a sketch on the paper.

"The Zhenshou Temple doesn't like to expand like the church. Apart from the headquarters in the Kingdom of Gold, it has only six branches in total. They are located in the Kingdom of the God, the Kingdom of the Holy King, the Kingdom of Black Gold, the Kingdom of Platinum, the Kingdom of the New Sun, and the Kingdom of Yellow Sand. But in my opinion, there is no need to attack the branches. Because in addition to these, the Zhenshou Temple also has many scattered strongholds distributed all over the world. Some strongholds are guarded by only three or five people. If we launch a surprise attack out of the blue, won't it be easy to capture them?" Tang Xi said with a smile.

"Zhenshouguan doesn't like to expand, so why are there so many strongholds outside?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"They don't like to expand, but there are some things they can only guard on the spot. This is a lesson learned from accidents. For example, two years ago there was a guardian object numbered 4396. It looked like an ordinary Buddha statue, but it would kick people away with its feet if you got close, and it was immune to all displacement magic. In order to transport it to the headquarters, a total of nine combat-type magical girls were injured, two of whom had their ribs broken. Later, guardian objects like this that were not very dangerous were generally kept in the local area for research and observation. After the mechanism was figured out, they were sent to the headquarters for guarding." Tang Xi explained.

"Is there such a strange guardian object?" Li Xuan laughed.

"That's not all! There are so many strange and bizarre guardian objects! There's also a guardian object numbered 2200 - it looks like a golden tiger. The special thing about it is that it will distort the information around it. Within a radius of 2200 meters around it, you absolutely cannot say the number 2200. Even if you want to convey it through code or mathematical formulas, it won't work. For example, B B Kou Kou, ZZOO, 2.2K... As long as a piece of information contains the number 2200, the information conveyed will be blocked or distorted. It is so powerful that it is close to the law of causality." Tang Xi gave an example.

"It sounds weird, but it doesn't seem to be harmful?"

"It doesn't pose any direct threat, but if this thing is kept at the headquarters, it will affect our experimental data, so we have to seal it on an isolated island and take a boat there when there is a need for research." Tang Xi spread his hands.

"So what you mean is that you want me to pick a garrison that is inconvenient to store at the headquarters?" Li Xuan asked.

"That's right. There are no less than three digits of such talismans all over the world. You don't even need to attack the talismans. Just pick some popular ones and intercept the researchers coming and going." Tang Xi said with a smile.

"That makes sense. As long as we act fast enough, Zhenshou Temple won't even be able to detect that it was us who did it." Li Xuan nodded: Although he is not worried about the debts now and doesn't care about being at odds with Zhenshou Temple, it is always better to have less trouble than more.

Chapter 413: Furious Waves of Swords and Halberds

"I recommend the following talismans. I have researched and read materials on all of them. They are not too dangerous and have high academic value." Tang Xi said, quickly writing lines of information on the paper in his beautiful cursive hand.

"Could it be that you want to study it yourself?" Li Xuan asked doubtfully.

"Hehe... I do have this idea to some extent, but mainly... no, 99%! No... 99.999999% is all for you, my master~" Tang Xi said flatteringly.

"Okay, okay, just write yours. Anyway, if anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Okay, just come to me when the time comes." Tang Xi happily wrote down seven or eight paragraphs, and then handed the paper to Li Xuan for review.

Tang Xi's description was concise and to the point, basically describing the location, characteristics, and defense of the garrison. Li Xuan reviewed it several times before finally deciding on one.

"This is it!" Li Xuan circled a number with a pen and said.

"You have a good eye! Guardian No. 2017: 'Sword and Spear Raging Waves', the main body of which is a CD. As long as it is played, it will forcibly interrupt the magic that has not yet been formed within a certain range, and it is very restrained to those magics that require a long pre-swing. It is said that even the transformation process can be interrupted, but the timing needs to be very good. Because this thing will affect the casting of the sealing system, it was not sent to the headquarters and is now stored in the city of Rackwell in the Black Gold Country." Tang Xi said excitedly.

"The Country of Black Gold, it's far away on the other side of the world." Li Xuan said thoughtfully.

"It's a bit far, but it's definitely worth a visit! When I was doing research there, I had a good relationship with a local magical girl. Her name is Leila. Although she is very young, she is quite accomplished academically and has even been granted the title of professor. She is an external consultant for the Zhenshou Temple. If you catch her, this matter is basically half done. With her around, my research work will also advance by leaps and bounds." Tang Xi suggested.

"You just gave your friend away like that? It's really bad luck for me to have a good relationship with you." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Master, you can't say that. The butt determines the head. My butt is yours, so my head naturally has to consider you as well. Besides, being a magical girl is so boring. I pulled her here for her own consideration." Tang Xi smiled nonchalantly.

"Okay, after the matter is done, I will give this person to you as an assistant." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"No, no, with her level, I am the only one who can be her assistant. Master, if you want to reward me, just give me something tangible." Tang Xi said, glancing at Li Xuan's crotch.

"You haven't even started yet, and you want a reward. Okay! I'll give you an advance." Li Xuan smiled, patted Tang Xi's hips, made her stick her hips out high, and started moving with a crackling sound in the meeting hall of the palace.

The next morning, Wang Li knocked on the door of the meeting room and reported to him that the barrier had been set up.

"It's quite efficient - let's go and take a look." Li Xuan left Tang Xi, who looked very satisfied, and opened the portal to go out of the city with Wang Li.

I saw that around the mountain of black crystals, an intricate magic circle had been set up, which was even more sophisticated than the one Li Sijie had arranged when she summoned the monster's soul.

"Amazing! I didn't expect that just a magic of finding an object would require activating such a complicated barrier." Li Xuan exclaimed in amazement.

"This is not an ordinary magic of finding objects. This is a magic that relies on blood connection for sensing. Theoretically, it can ignore distance. As long as the target still exists in the world, it can be found." Xingbai said proudly.

"Let's get started! Based on the search results, I can make the next plan." Li Xuan nodded.

"No problem, just watch! This is the result of my hard work all night long—" Xingbai tapped her toes, and the barrier lit up instantly. Countless unrecognizable magic symbols floated in the air, moving and floating according to a certain pattern.

However, more than ten minutes passed and nothing seemed to have happened, and tiny beads of sweat began to appear on Xingbai's forehead.

"What happened? Is there any accident?" Li Xuan noticed the abnormality in the operation of the barrier, so he asked.

"Something big has happened... I activated the barrier seven times, and the result each time pointed to an answer... That important egg has disappeared!" Xingbai said in a desperate tone.

"Disappeared?" Li Xuan frowned. This was not good news. This egg was the best shortcut for him to improve his strength. If something went wrong in this link, he would have to catch magical girls bit by bit to upgrade.

"That's right. The barrier can't find any traces of the egg's bloodline anywhere in the world. This means that the egg has met with an accident." Xingbai said dejectedly.

"So he's dead? What a pity! This is also my father's unfinished business. It seems that I will never have the chance to complete it for him." Wang Li also sighed.

"It's all my fault. This was the decision I made back then... The egg was actually very sturdy. I thought as long as I concealed my aura and hid it in the sea, it would be safe. But I didn't expect... Alas! It will probably be discovered by the church or hunters! Without S-level attack power, it's impossible to break the eggshell!" Xingbai said, beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"Wait...you just said that the barrier's search range is the entire world?" Li Xuan suddenly keenly noticed some key clues.

"That's right... Even barriers and seals can't hinder the search for the bloodline. So as long as the egg still exists in the world, even in the most inconspicuous corner, my magic can find it." Xingbai said, wiping away tears.

"In other words, your barrier only eliminates the possibility of it existing in this world, but it doesn't mean that it is definitely dead. Am I right?" Li Xuan asked.

"Strictly speaking, that's true, but if it can't be found anywhere in the world, doesn't that mean it's gone? Could there be another world?" Xingbai asked doubtfully.

Li Xuan recalled the battle with Yun Ye that year. Yun Ye activated the "Sacred Ritual" that could only be used once in a lifetime, but the light that descended could not illuminate the illusory evil land. He nodded affirmatively: "Yes, but I don't know whether it is in that world."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over quickly and cast the search magic again!" Hearing Li Xuan say this, a glimmer of hope suddenly rekindled in Xingbai's eyes.

"It's too troublesome. It would be better to just move the entire magic circle over." Li Xuan shook his head.

"Eh? Is that kind of thing possible? The area of ​​this magic circle is quite large. Can the space portal be opened that big?" Xingbai asked in surprise.

"Of course it didn't work before, but maybe we can give it a try now." Li Xuan smiled slightly, and he stretched out his arms as if he wanted to grasp the entire world in his arms.

Chapter 414 An unexpected surprise

I saw darkness spreading out under his feet, spreading into a large area as quickly as ink dropped into a cup.

This dark boundary happened to be the edge of the barrier. Even though the range was so large, it was controlled precisely. It was even unusually quiet throughout the entire process, and not much spatial fluctuation was formed.

Wang Li didn't think much of it, but Xing Bai, who was proficient in barrier magic, was almost shocked:

"To actually be able to do something like this...it's like trying to bake a pizza just right with the heat from a nuclear bomb explosion!"

"It seems that after absorbing the soul body, not only the energy level itself is improved, but also the control and mental strength are stronger - probably because more than a hundred souls are absorbed at the same time." Li Xuan thought to himself.
