The correct way to open the magical girl

"Eh?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even the magical girls under Shen Liang became agitated. They had never expected that the bishop, who had always been fair and selfless, would try to cover up his failure because of his position.

Shen Liang sighed: "Among those taken away by the monsters, there was my predecessor Lilika. Although she betrayed the church, I believe she must have her own difficulties. To me, she is like a life mentor, giving me countless guidance and care.

I want to take her back from the monster, but I am a praying magic girl, and if I leave the team, I will have no fighting ability. That's why I want to keep my position as bishop so that I can recruit and train strong subordinates until the day when I can defeat the monster. "

"I see... I understand that feeling."

After hearing Shen Liang's words, Maye was also quite touched. On the road to becoming a magical girl, she had also received a lot of help from her predecessors, so she could empathize with Shen Liang's feelings.

"Okay, I promise you that I won't tell anyone about the humiliation. But don't say that I was tricked. I was defeated by the monster's helpers, and this matter must be reported truthfully. As for your position, I will try to keep it." Maya decided.

After hearing Maye's words, Shen Liang was immediately relieved: as an S-class magical girl, Maye has a high status in the church. Even if she is not a member of the College of Cardinals, her words carry considerable weight. It should not be too difficult to keep her as the bishop of a local church.

"Sisters, we have to leave quickly. I have been missing for so long, the headquarters must be worried. Sister Shen Liang, goodbye, the scenery in Huahe City is beautiful, and I look forward to the day when we meet again." After Maye finished speaking, he used the teleportation magic and left the church with his four subordinates.

"Ms. Lilika, please wait for me... I will definitely save you from the monster... No matter what you become, I will find you back!" Shen Liang clenched his fists and swore secretly.

Chapter 263 Everything is ready

Although he retained Nanamiya Maya's hunting mark, Li Xuan did not monitor this scene. After helping Lilika move, he brought Li Sijie to his coffee shop and made himself a cup of hand-ground coffee after a long absence.

"Boss, where have you been all this time? Have you been bewitched by some vixen again? If I didn't know about your flirtatious personality, I would have called the police." The store manager started complaining from the moment they met, blaming him for not coming to the store for so long and causing so much trouble.

After taking a sip of hand-brewed coffee, Li Xuan patted her shoulder gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I've been busy with other things recently, and I'm going abroad next, so I won't be able to come back for a long time. So the store..."

"Boss! You can't close down the business! It will be a shame to give up such a good business!" When the store manager heard that Li Xuan was leaving, he immediately started to worry about his job.

"No, I don't plan to close. I came here this time just to say that this store is for you." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Give it to me? Boss, have you gone crazy from chasing girls? Give it to me? For such a big store..." the manager said in surprise.

"That's right, you have to manage it well." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"Wait wait wait, boss, I haven't reacted yet - have you done anything illegal and want me to be your legal representative?"

"Not."

"Could it be that the store is losing too much money and they want me to take over?"

"No, aren't you the one who knows the store's revenue best?"

"Are you finally ready to attack me?"

"Although I am a scumbag, I won't harm my own employees..."

"What on earth is..."

"I say, can't you think of something good?" Seeing that she refused to believe it, Li Xuan could only smile helplessly.

"Oh! I understand. Boss, you are strong and healthy, so you must have been booked by some tender and delicate rich woman! So you don't think highly of the income from the store, right~" The store manager thought hard for a long time and finally found a reasonable explanation.

"Ah, this..." Li Xuan couldn't deny it for a moment. After all, financially speaking, he was indeed kept by the rich lolita woman Lilika.

"So that's how it is. I've long felt that you, boss, have the potential to be a gigolo. You look so well-mannered and well-mannered, you must be popular with rich ladies. Hehe, you're lucky!" said the store manager, punching Li Xuan in the chest with her pink fist.

"Whatever you think." Li Xuan shrugged and went to the computer to start printing the relevant contract documents.

"The decoration, facilities, and money in the store are all at your disposal, but I want to take the maid outfits in stock."

"Boss, you are simply an angel. Please thank that rich woman for me~" the store manager said excitedly.

"You are the boss now. Work hard. I will come back for coffee someday." Li Xuan said, and went to the printer to print the contract that had been prepared in advance.

Even after completing the formalities, the store manager still felt like she was in a dream. She is a graduate of environmental science, but because her major was unpopular, she couldn't find a job, so she had no choice but to come to the store to work. Unexpectedly, after working for a few years, she became the store manager, and now she has become the boss!

Before the manager could come to his senses, Li Xuan had already left the coffee shop in a maid outfit, temporarily bidding farewell to Qinghe City.

Before returning to the Evil Land of Falsehood, Li Xuan discovered that Lilika had already purchased everything she needed and stored them all in a corner of the daily necessities warehouse, so densely packed that it looked like a small mountain.

Li Xuan took the list that Lilika handed over and took a look at what was written on it:

Salt, sugar, rice, noodles, cooking oil, dried vegetables, canned food, tea, nylon socks, paper towels, sanitary napkins, medicines, game consoles, books...there are almost all kinds of storable items, to an almost exaggerated degree.

"Lilika, isn't this too much? There are only a dozen of us, and we can't finish it in a lifetime." Li Xuan said in a daze.

"Master, I think this is necessary. We are going to a relatively closed space, and we don't know how long we will stay there. The resources there must be very scarce, and the supplies we bring there can be used for exchange in addition to our own consumption." Lilika reminded.

Li Xuan suddenly realized: "As expected of a reliable adult woman, she even considered this. But this must have cost a lot of money, right?"

"It's only a few million. Before purchasing the supplies, I will check the location of the origin, and use the teleportation function of the False Evil Land with three other administrators to pick up the goods on site. Without the price difference and logistics costs of middlemen, the price is usually only a few or even a few tenths of the original. Even if we resell these things, we can make a lot of money." Lilika smiled.

"You are worthy of being a businessman! From now on, the finances of the Witch Academy will be under your management!" Li Xuan said happily.

"It's my honor, but please appoint someone to oversee the accounts. Otherwise, there are too much money and goods to handle, and it will be difficult for me to explain if something goes wrong." Lilika suggested.

Li Xuan originally thought that since he trusted Lilika enough, there was no need to have another person to supervise him, but Lilika insisted on doing so, saying that if the system was not established now, it would be difficult to reverse the situation when the scale expanded in the future.

Li Xuan knew that he was a layman in this kind of thing, so he agreed to Lilika's request and sent Qi Mo to help with the accounting.

After everything was ready, Li Xuan turned to Li Sijie and discussed the departure with the latter.

"Of course, the sooner we set off, the better. However, the Kingdom of the New Sun is still the sphere of influence of the church. I think we shouldn't make too much noise. You and I can go, and the other witches can stay in the Land of Falsehood. How about opening the passage and summoning them after you go in?" Li Sijie asked.

"It's the same as what I thought. But to be on the safe side, it's better to bring someone with you." Li Xuan said, teleporting to the amusement park and calling the black cat who was playing with Alulu.

"Should we take this child with us? I think she looks dangerous." Li Sijie said.

"I don't think so. Black Cat is very obedient and capable. I feel safe when she is around." Li Xuan shook his head.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements." Li Sijie said with a smile.

Seeing that she had no more objections, Li Xuan conveyed the news of his upcoming departure to all the witches, and then established a space channel, teleporting to the northern part of the New Sun Kingdom together with Li Sijie and Black Cat.

Even though the system level has been upgraded to level 7, this distance of teleportation still gave Li Xuan a headache. He couldn't recover his mental strength through spell patterns, wine of joy, etc., so he had to rely on willpower to get through it.

Chapter 264: First Visit to the Lost Land

"Big brother, are you okay? Do you want to take a rest?" Seeing that Li Xuan looked a little unhappy, Black Cat couldn't help but worry.

"No need, this is the church's territory, so we'd better not stay here too long. Sijie, please remove the shield immediately, and let's hurry into the Lost Land." Li Xuan said while gritting his teeth.

"Okay." Li Sijie said, and unfolded a barrier towards the seemingly empty sea. Complex magic circles were generated layer by layer, as gorgeous as blooming flowers, which dazzled Li Xuan.

However, as time went on, Li Xuan gradually discovered that although the magic she used varied, it was ultimately only of one type: barrier magic.

As he watched, Li Xuan suddenly realized something: ever since he knew Li Sijie, the magic she used was either a barrier or a seal, and these two are the basic abilities that every sealing magic girl will master, but she has never demonstrated any of the magic she possesses.

I have to say that she really implemented the mysterious principles thoroughly.

As the barrier continued to form, the scene in front of Li Xuan gradually changed: a devastated land slowly appeared, but it looked very blurry, as if looking at something through frosted glass.

This land was originally here, but due to the power of the world, it is impossible to recognize from the outside, and it is also impossible to enter easily. It is like an abandoned hidden level in a game, which can only be seen by unpacking and calling out the corresponding code.

Li Xuan tried to open the exit of the portal to the lost land, but it felt like driving a small boat in a storm, which would capsize completely if he was not careful.

"My spatial ability can sense the Lost Land, but the structure of space is still not very stable," said Li Xuan.

"The shield has not been completely lifted yet, please wait a moment." Li Sijie said, speeding up the generation of the magic circle. The land in front of him gradually became clear, and Li Xuan's portal could finally be maintained stably on the opposite side.

However, at this moment, a powerful magic power approached from behind the two. Li Xuan could even see a dazzling golden light on the sea behind him, as if a sun was rising. That powerful magic power was even stronger than Nanamiya Maya's, and it contained an extremely domineering feeling.

"This unconcealed powerful magic power...I'm afraid it's another S-level magical girl - when did the efficiency of the church become so high?" Li Xuan frowned.

"It's because we are too famous. Go in quickly. You are not in good condition. There is no need to conflict with them at this time." Li Sijie said.

"That's right, let's teleport in together." Li Xuan nodded, opened the portal despite the headache, and entered the Lost Land directly.

With the departure of Li Sijie, the shield came into effect again. The land that had originally appeared quickly blurred and disappeared. The magical girl, who was a step slower, could only stare at the empty sea.

After being teleported to the place, Li Xuan's first feeling was that he had arrived in hell.

The sky here is gray. Although the sun can be seen, the entire sky seems to be shrouded in fog.

There was a fairly large city in front of Li Xuan, but there was no light in the city. There were collapsed ruins and broken buildings everywhere. There were no pedestrians or vehicles on the streets. Instead, there were many monsters walking around the streets in a swagger.

Although most of the monsters were still in the form of monsters, there were also some humanoid monsters among them. And even though they looked like monsters, they seemed much more rational than the monsters outside, and they would communicate with other monsters around them, and it was obvious that they had a considerable degree of intelligence.

“The longer monsters survive, the closer their appearance and intelligence become to humans. The monsters here have already formed a social structure - of course, their nature will not change,” Li Sijie explained.

"It seems that I need to find someone to get some information first - can we communicate with these monsters?" Li Xuan asked.

“I’m afraid not. The intelligence of a monster can be determined by its appearance. In most cases, the closer the shape is to that of a human, the higher its intelligence. I’m afraid there’s no hope for these weird-looking monsters.” Li Sijie shook her head.

As they were talking, there was a sound of fighting suddenly heard nearby.

Li Xuan went over to take a look out of curiosity, and saw that several monsters were divided into two groups and were fighting each other. They were howling as they fought, and seemed to be arguing about something.

Li Xuan looked towards them and saw three dirty humans locked in cages on the ground with crude wooden signs stuck on them - it looked like some monsters were selling these humans, while other monsters wanted to buy them, and the two sides couldn't agree on the price so they started fighting.

"It looks like we can ask them for information about the 'goods' we're trading with - Black Cat, help me mediate a fight." Li Xuan ordered.

"Words·Group capture·Don't fight. What are the benefits of humans? Whoever says it right will get it." The black cat spoke the longest string of words so far.

Li Xuan thought that this was some kind of controlling effect of words, but as soon as he finished speaking, the monster that was fighting just now rolled its eyes and died on the ground.

"Wait, isn't this instant death?"

"That way they won't fight anymore," the black cat said innocently.

"...Okay." Li Xuan had no intention of letting these monsters live, so he walked forward and planned to ask the humans who were being sold as goods.

However, at this moment, several monsters suddenly rushed out from their hiding place and rushed straight towards Li Xuan. Unfortunately, their evil energy level was only around C level. Li Xuan compressed the evil energy into a long-handled broadsword and cut them all off with one blow.

This is a relatively open street, and many monsters witnessed Li Xuan killing monsters. However, their reactions were indifferent, as if this was a very ordinary thing.

"It's really a place where the strong prey on the weak. The monsters are already accustomed to killing." Li Xuan sighed as he swung his knife to chop open the door of the cage.

The three people in the cage thought Li Xuan was coming to kill them, and they were trembling with fear. After a while, one of the older girls stood up bravely with the determination to die, and said in a trembling voice: "If you want to eat, eat me! The two sisters are still young, and there is not much meat."

"Do the monsters in this place still eat human flesh?" Li Xuan said in surprise.

“Of course they would. Although monsters can survive as long as they have energy and don’t really need to eat, eating and killing humans is a kind of enjoyment for them, just like smoking and drinking for humans. Humans are scarce in the Lost Land, and they are traded as precious commodities.” Li Sijie explained.

Chapter 265 Helping leaders relieve stress is part of a secretary's job

"I see... Anyway, let's wash these kids first, they are so dirty that they don't look like human beings..." Li Xuan said, carrying the cage with his tentacles to the beach, and took out some towels, soaps and other things purchased by Lilika from the warehouse and threw them to the girls.

"Wash yourself and your two sisters clean." Li Xuan said.

The girl dared not disobey. She cried while taking a towel to bathe her two sisters in the sea water.

"Why is she crying? Didn't I let her take a bath? Doesn't this mean I'm letting them go?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"She thought you were going to wash it clean before eating it. It seems that these three are sisters. The elder sister would rather be eaten by the monster to protect the younger sister. It's really touching." Li Sijie said with a smile.

"How dare you say that? You're a magical girl, and yet you're wanted worldwide by the church." Li Xuan also teased.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly found that the three girls had taken advantage of the bath time to swim into the sea, as if they were preparing to escape.

This time, before Li Xuan could speak, Black Cat used his spiritual power to force them to swim back.

The three girls who were captured seemed even more frightened. They had realized that the monster this time was more powerful than the ones they had seen before. They had just escaped with the idea of ​​fighting to the death, but they did not expect to be captured so easily. They did not know what kind of cruel revenge was waiting for them.

"Well... they are well washed, and their appearance..." Li Xuan looked at the three girls carefully. The two younger ones looked to be only about ten years old, the age of little kids, but the older sister seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

According to Li Xuan's standards for identifying beauties, the elder sister was obviously a beauty with a score of more than 70 points. The distance between her facial features, the proportions of her limbs and upper and lower body were all very standard. However, due to long-term hunger, she was very thin, with bony features on her face and ribs showing under her ribs, which looked quite scary.

When the girl saw Li Xuan looking at her, she couldn't help but shudder: she knew that some monsters would abuse human women, and even use humans as a breeding ground for their young.

Although in most cases this would be more horrible than death, for the sake of her two younger sisters, she was unwilling to give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

"I'm willing to do anything, even give you the seedbed. Please don't hurt my two sisters!" The girl suddenly knelt down, hugged Li Xuan's legs and said.

"Forget it, you're so thin, I'm afraid you'll get hurt. Don't worry, I won't kill you, I just want to get some information from you." Li Xuan said helplessly.

"Eh? You won't kill us?" The girl showed a surprised expression on her face, but suddenly her eyes became dazed and she fell to the ground.

"Huh? Why did you faint after hearing the good news?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly.

"Big brother, I think she fainted from hunger. Catch a fish for her to eat." The black cat squatted down to check the girl's condition and gave his conclusion based on his own experience.

"How can she eat fish when she is so hungry? It is better to take them back to the evil land of illusion and tell the witches the news at the same time." Li Xuan said, opening the space channel and taking everyone back.

Hearing the purpose of Li Xuan's visit, Luo Nai hurriedly cooked some rice porridge with sugar and fed it to the girl who fainted from hunger. The two sisters also began to eat it voraciously.

When the two girls saw the rice porridge with sugar, their eyes almost lit up. They scooped up the rice porridge with a spoon and almost stuffed it into their throats. Soon, they finished the whole bowl of rice porridge.

Li Xuan never knew that people could be so greedy for food, but then he thought: Li Sijie said that the Lost Land of the New Sun Kingdom has existed for more than 30 years, so these children were obviously born there.

They may never have tasted such sweet food in their entire lives, live in fear and hiding all their lives, and never know what hope is.

"I'll go cook some more porridge." Seeing this, Lonai wanted to cook some more porridge, but was stopped by Filia.

"If they eat any more, they will get bloated. Let them rest for a while. God, these poor children...the way they saw the food is exactly the same as when I picked up the black cat." Filia sighed.

"In that case, you take care of them. When sister wakes up, ask her to come to the office to see me." Seeing this, Li Xuan took Li Sijie to the office first.
