Knight Asylum

"Although our museum sells Gaia Memory, we have never said that you must join the museum to use the power of Gaia Memory, just like your Brain Group has never said that only members of the Brain Group can perform resurrection surgery."

"However, only members of the Sage's Tower have the opportunity to become magicians, and only those who work for the Sage's Tower can get the opportunity to purchase different types of magic rings."

"The Tower of Sages is recklessly expanding its forces in [S·L], and the ultimate goal is probably to replace Servius Turria."

When he said this, Sonosaki Kirihiko's expression became extremely solemn.

"The newly built Sage's Tower is the best proof. In the next period of time, the Sage's Tower will most likely allow magicians to operate in [S·L]."

"If the Sage's Tower really believes, as they say, that the power of magic is for the benefit of humans, and they just want to do their part to protect humans, that would be fine."

But for now.

The probability is not high.

"Of course, I personally think that the biggest problem at the moment is the technology of that ancient magician."

Sonosaki Kirihiko put his hands behind his back and frowned.

"You can become a magician and use magic without paying any price."

"There is no such convenient thing in this world."

Reid thinks so too.

Chapter 406 You really want me to wear a battle suit, right?

Everything about magic is strictly kept under the control of the Kingdom of Magic. Even Selvi Turia only knows about the existence of ancient magicians. When the Tower of Sages was the sponsor, Selvi Turia could not get any useful information about magicians. Not to mention that now that the Tower of Sages has simply withdrawn, Selvi Turia is openly opposing U and other sponsors.

But there is no other way.

Phantom.

An existence that is completely opposite to magicians.

The phantom demons that have been fighting against magicians since ancient times may know something.

With the idea that he had already been caught, it would be useless to ask, and after obtaining U's authority, Red came to the containment area specially prepared for the phantom demons on the negative thirteenth floor.

Taking into account the unscientific magical abilities of phantom demons, researchers such as U have put a lot of effort into containing them. They have designed completely different containment rooms based on the characteristics of each type of phantom demon. However, these containment rooms are not without similarities.

For example, a doll that looks like Red's would randomly walk outside each containment room at some point in time.

No phantom dared to bet that the one passing by was not the real thing, so they were extremely honest.

As for those honest phantom demons, U and other researchers believe that if they are willing to cooperate, they will appropriately improve their treatment based on their performance.

After all, testing magic and analyzing magic power would be very difficult if these phantom demons were unwilling to cooperate with the research.

But there are also some dishonest ones among them, such as Phoenix.

To be honest, Phoenix is ​​the most difficult one to deal with among all the phantoms.

Phoenix's brutality and uncontrollability are obvious, and the best way to deal with it is to destroy him directly, but the damn thing is that Phoenix is ​​immortal, and it is a very unscientific immortality.

Not only does resurrection not consume physical strength, magic power, and spirit, but every resurrection will make the magic power stronger and the mental state reset to the optimal form. In addition to the flames, except for Reed's physical anesthesia, they can't find a way to calm Phoenix down.

And they had no way to use magic to counter Phoenix's magic.

So U and a group of researchers decided to use science to deal with it.

Since it is a flame, it must need oxygen.

Then take away the oxygen.

And the phantom demon can survive even without oxygen.

After all, it is a magical creature.

Arriving outside Phoenix's containment room, Red poked his head out and saw Phoenix waving his arms and smashing the wall like a madman.

Reid shook his head and came to the holding room of the Minotaur.

This guy is a power type, so the method of containing the Minotaur is also very simple and crude, but Reid did not enter the containment room of the Minotaur phantom, but walked into the containment room of the Siren phantom next to it.

He needed to talk to a smart guy. Like Phoenix, Minotaur, who was maintaining his phantom form and trying to struggle to escape, was a fool who didn't understand the current situation.

But the Siren Phantom was different. According to the guards' description, the Siren had been maintaining its human form before being locked up, and did not display its phantom abilities. It seemed very sensible and honest, so they didn't know how to target it. They could only increase their defenses and soundproof it.

This is the sensible type.

After a series of authentications and after the door behind him was completely locked, the door in front of Reid leading to the Siren Demon Containment Room slowly opened.

Red walked slowly into the containment room. "Excuse me--"

The Siren Phantom looked up at Reid.

The human-form Siren Phantom is a very quiet literary girl, and Selvi Turia has found the Siren Phantom's name before his death based on the appearance data of the Siren Phantom's human form.

Aoi Hoshimiya, seventeen years old, has been missing for five years. Investigators speculate that Aoi Hoshimiya’s disappearance is related to... Xiao Xing.

That’s right, Hoshimiya Aoi’s name was on the list of missing persons he investigated in the first timeline, and according to U’s speculation, the names of other phantoms when they were alive were also on that list.

While Red was observing Hoshimiya Aoi, Hoshimiya Aoi was also observing Red.

Because Red was not wearing that doll costume, Hoshimiya Aoi did not recognize Red as the mascot who slapped her and made her spin around.

"Is there anything wrong?" Xinggong Aoi raised her hand and tucked her hair. Her voice was elegant and indifferent, completely different from the seductive and decadent voice she had given her previous time as a mermaid.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Red. I have some questions for you. Based on your performance, Selvi Turia can give you a more comfortable living environment," Red walked slowly around Hoshimiya Aoi, keeping a certain safe distance.

"I won't say anything—"

Hoshimiya Aoi sneered, and secretly wondered whether she should use her ability. Even in human form, she could capture people's hearts with her voice. In order to prevent Servius Turia's people from noticing this, she spoke in human form, but did not control anyone.

Since he came in to ask her questions, it means that this Red in front of her has a high status in Selvi Turiane and is worth controlling.

"Do you know anything about the ancient magicians? Or which phantom might know something about the ancient magicians?"

Reid turned his back to Aoi Hoshimiya, picked up the cup on the table and looked around.

Xinggong Aoi made an unhappy sound and slowly stood up.

She wanted to teach this arrogant guy in front of her a lesson, so that Servier Turia would understand that her obedient cooperation did not mean that she was a soft persimmon.

"Your name is Red, right? Listen to me..."

The elegant and indifferent voice gradually became charming and alluring.

"Take off your clothes and dance your way out of here."

Xinggong Aoi is not stupid. Given her situation, if she acts too decisively, it will only affect her own way out.

Dancing naked is just the right way to show that you are not someone to be trifled with, but you don't have the intention of causing any trouble.

Reid put down the cup and turned to look at Aoi Hoshimiya, who had her arms folded across her chest as if she was ready to watch a good show. He lowered his head and turned to walk towards the exit.

Xinggong Aoi raised her eyebrows, "I told you to take off all your clothes before leaving!"

Reid paused and turned to look at Xinggong Aoi, who opened the exit. A very familiar and funny-looking mascot was waiting outside.

Under the incredulous gaze of Hoshimiya Aoi, the zipper on the mascot's chest opened automatically. Reid turned around and crawled in. He raised his chubby arms to hold the doll's head cover and twisted it left and right. After adjusting the angle, he walked back to the containment room and stood in front of Hoshimiya Aoi.

The harmless expression was gradually shrouded in shadow.

"Goo-"

Xinggong Aoi swallowed hard, gave a forced smile that was even more miserable than crying, and her voice trembled.

"Yes, sorry, I took it off. I took it off and danced."

Chapter 407: Medusa, you don’t want anything to happen to the Sage, do you?

Looking down at Aoi Hoshimiya who was kneeling on the ground, folding her clothes neatly aside and maintaining a doge-za posture, Red in the doll costume felt extremely subtle.

It would have been fine if Hoshimiya Aoi had just done that. The moment Hoshimiya Aoi took off her clothes, all the surveillance cameras in the containment room changed their direction, turning the position where Red was standing into the only blind spot in the containment room.

It seems like he is tacitly approving something.

"How much do you know about the ancient magicians?"

Reid squatted down, raised his chubby hands and placed them on Xinggong Aoi's shoulders.

Xinggong Aoi's body trembled violently, and she spoke at the fastest and clearest speed in her life, "I don't know! I am only five years old this year as a phantom demon! The ancient magicians were hundreds of years ago! But the sage must know! He is a phantom demon that existed a long time ago!"

"Sage? You Phantom Demons also have sages?"

Because of the operation of the Sage's Tower, Red now feels uncomfortable when he hears the word "sage".

"Yes, he has always led us Phantom Demons."

"Where can we find him?" Reid patted Xinggong Aoi's head.

"This, this... I don't know either. I have never seen a sage, but other phantom demons probably know," Xinggong Aoi raised her head and smiled with difficulty.

"I see. Like who?"

"This..." Xinggong Aoi's eyes flickered, as if she was worried about something.

Reid raised his eyebrows slightly when he noticed that Hoshimiya Aoi's expression had changed.

"Do you think the Sage has the ability to break into Servius Tulia's internment area and kill you, a traitor?"

“Ah, ahahaha… No, no—”

Under the gaze of that harmless but shadowed expression, Xinggong Aoi lowered her head lower and lower, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Red stood up straight.

Although Xinggong Aoi has never seen the Sage, in Xinggong Aoi's mind, the Sage is very strong. He is strong enough to know who betrayed him. He is so strong that... he can directly rush into Servius Turia and kill the betrayer.

"I understand. I'm not going to embarrass you."

"Thanks……"

"But thanks to you, I now know that you Phantom Demons have such a sage, and he's a very dangerous guy," Reid looked down at Hoshimiya Aoi whose expression was gradually solidifying.

"The next step is to search the entire territory for this sage."

"But apart from this name, we know nothing about the existence of the Sage. The search itself is difficult and time-consuming. The defense of the containment area will inevitably be reduced. If something happens during this process, it will be terrible."

Xinggong Aoi's heart skipped a beat, and her smile was uglier than crying.

"No, don't do that."

"Then I'll go first."

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Red was really planning to leave, Xinggong Aoi panicked and quickly stepped forward to hug Red's legs, "Medusa! No one among us knows the Sage better than Medusa. Only she can have direct contact with the Sage!!!"

"Medusa?"

Red felt a little annoyed.

Of course he knew that Medusa knew about the sage, but... Medusa was a crazy woman. Even if he asked, there was no way Medusa would tell him about the sage.

But Xinggong Aoi said that no one among them knew the Sage of Phantom Demon better than Medusa, and only Medusa could contact the Sage.

I can only contact that crazy woman.

"I see - don't worry, the sage won't come looking for you."

Red waved his hand and left the containment room amidst Aoi Hoshimiya's thanks.

Red originally wanted to take off his doll costume before meeting Medusa, but then he thought that with the way Medusa looked, she would go crazy anyway, so it would be better to wear the clothes that impressed her so much that Medusa could get into the mood earlier.

Opening the door to Medusa's containment room, Red swaggered in wearing a doll costume.

Medusa was just as dangerous as Phoenix, but much easier to target, so Servius Tullia locked Medusa in a restraint bed facing the entrance. Her eyes were sealed with special metal, and anyone could take them off without a specific password or command.

Medusa looked so weak and fragile at this moment that even Red couldn't help but sigh, but that was all.

Red didn't take off his hood, "Medusa, do you remember my voice?"

"This voice... is you! It's you!!!"

Medusa, who had just looked weak and fragile, immediately began to struggle fiercely. Unfortunately, the restraint bed was specially made, and Medusa was trapped on it and couldn't even transform into a phantom demon form.

Reid didn't say anything, just watched Medusa roaring hysterically.

Medusa waited until her voice became hoarse from yelling before she slowly spoke.

"We are looking for your sage. If you don't suggest it--"

"Sage! What are you going to do to the sage!!!" Medusa, who seemed unable to curse just now, screamed again, even more excitedly than before, as if she was poked somewhere.

It seems that Medusa really minds.
