Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

However, after attending once, she realized that she didn't need to go.

"I can't tell you my method of taming animals, so the teachers in the cram school can't help me improve, so I just don't go."

Compared to Comet, who chose not to attend the training class due to reasons that could not be made public, Hong Xiaoling, who also passed the preliminaries and became an official contestant of the Goblet of Fire, will not miss almost every additional training course.

"The event I participated in was a practical competition, a one-on-one ring battle, so I really need a lot of practical experience. Although there are not many suitable opponents in school, the daily combat training can also keep me in a certain state."

During a dinner, Conanshan happened to meet Hong Xiaoling who had just returned from training. The two, who were already friends, sat together and chatted.

"As for you, since you are not participating in the Goblet of Fire, are you interested in practicing with me?"

"It's not impossible, but let's talk about it when we have time. You don't have a real combat opponent right now."

Conan-san was in the third grade. Although the workload was not higher than that of the previous year, it was about the same.

His schedule remains fully packed.

After all, he is still learning three different magic systems, and it is difficult for him to relax.

Moreover, after discovering that he possessed a talent for wonderful folk magic, he had one more thing to learn, so he naturally didn't have much time.

Not to mention, during breaks at school, he would occasionally go to the human world to see if there was any new news from XCOM.

This means that although Conan-san seems to be very free and just an ordinary third-year student at Hogwarts in the eyes of strangers, in fact, sometimes even his friends may not be able to find him.

"It's always a bit inconvenient to travel between the magic world and the human world. Even with the existence of the magic train, it still takes time to travel... Should I try to summon my own heroic spirit in the human world?"

Conan-san had thought seriously about the matter of summoning himself.

However, he would eventually deny it.

One of the reasons is that it costs too much to summon heroic spirits.

After Conanshan's heroic spirit is summoned, it does not require huge magic power to maintain it, but when summoning it, it still requires magic power of the normal level of heroic spirit summoning.

He is not capable of summoning his own heroic spirit on his own, and he does not have enough magical resources or money.

It is not impossible to seek help from your partners, but the matter is not so urgent that you need to ask others for help.

As for using a Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual that was simplified by an unknown mastermind, Conan-san would not do that.

He couldn't be sure what kind of problems existed within this simple ritual of heroes.

If you say there is no problem, I won’t believe it even if you kill me.

Even if he could summon his Heroic Spirit clone, if it would expand the pollution of the Throne of Heroes, he would not want that.

The last question is the impact of his own growing stronger every day.

Even if Conan does nothing now, he is getting stronger every day, and his magic power is growing with time.

At the same time, his heroic clone will also change along with his original body.

In other words, his heroic spirit clone, which originally did not require much magic power to maintain, may really need a master to provide him with magic power in the future.

Perhaps one day in the distant future, the maintenance requirements of his Heroic Spirit clone will become the same as those of a real Heroic Spirit.

Conan-san has two heroic clones so far. It's not that he can't afford to have another one, but there is no real need. Considering various reasons, he still hasn't made up his mind to summon his own heroic clone in the human world.

"Speaking of my heroic spirit clone, nothing special happened on the Terra continent, and there was no progress in the investigation..."

On the continent of Terra, Conan Shan has been conducting two investigations.

One is the investigation of the very likely existence of Hai Si.

However, even though people were sent to the Iberian coast to investigate for a long time, nothing special was found.

It's like there's nothing dangerous on the sea floor.

Another place being investigated is Lateran, which appeared after the world changed.

According to the original plot of "Brainwash Ark", there may be some unknown things hidden underground in the country or city of Lateran.

Even if this unidentified object does not pose any external danger, even if this city suddenly appeared after the world changed, it is enough for the time traveler to pay attention and investigate.

However, just like the investigation into the monster in the sea, there has been absolutely no progress and no discoveries here.

It was impossible for Conan-San to drive the Rhodes Island directly into the city of Lateran. At least, he could only wait and see until he found out that something was wrong or dangerous.

"There is no discovery on Teyvat either..."

The investigation of Rock City has now come to a temporary end.

With the convenience of the spiritual form of the heroic spirit, Conan-san roamed around the Rock City and followed and investigated all suspicious targets, but he did not find anything suspicious.

It should be said that there was a problem, but that problem no longer exists.

"It seems that the top leaders of Rock City have indeed been deceived by a powerful magician, and they have not yet realized it... If this continues, all clues may disappear as time goes by..."

Conanshan felt that perhaps some drastic measures were needed.

"The mastermind may no longer be here, but it's still worth a try... Anyway, it shouldn't get any worse, so let me give it a try."

157 Delivering the message

In the City of Rock, Conan Shan did something through Anger, the master rock elementalist.

He asked Ang to convey a message to the managers of Rock City.

——The pinnacle of the water element realm, the Water Element Dragon King, is dead.

——Died from the terrifying power of the abyss.

——In order to protect the water element realm, the Water Element Dragon King fearlessly sacrificed himself and died together with the abyss.

It is such a message that seems simple but actually contains a huge amount of information.

The residents of the water element realm knew about the abyss events that occurred in the water element realm and the ins and outs of them because of Conan's notification.

However, most people only know that the problem of the abyss has been solved, and only a small number of people know about the death of the Water Element Dragon King.

This is to avoid unnecessary confusion.

The death of the Water Element Dragon King had an impact that could be said to be huge, or it could be said to be minimal.

The death of the Water Dragon King, the pinnacle of the element, has no impact on the lives of humans living in the water element realm.

After all, from the very beginning, the Dragon King of Water Element had never appeared before mankind, had never brought protection to mankind, nor had he brought any disaster.

Even hundreds of years ago, when the human residents of the water element realm developed the so-called elemental technology, which led to the pollution of the water element and destroyed the human settlements at that time, it was several elemental lords working together. The Water Element Dragon King never showed up and even seemed to have no major reaction to the pollution of the water element.

Now, rather than causing possible chaos due to the news of the death of the Water Elemental Dragon King, it is better to keep things as they are.

Anyway, judging from the results, the death of the Water Element Dragon King did not bring any impact to mankind at all.

After the pollution problem of the abyss was cleared, the human residents of the water element realm continued to live as usual and did what they had to do.

On the other hand, in the water element realm, basically all water element life forms know about the death of the Water Element Dragon King.

The surging and flowing sea will convey the news of the elements beyond the field of human perception.

The existence of the Water Element Dragon King is so huge that if it is not specially concealed, the water element life living in the ocean will quickly sense it.

But they were not very sad or angry, and all water elemental beings accepted this naturally.

This is the difference between elemental life and humans.

Life and death to them is a very natural thing. They will not resist but accept it.

This does not mean that the water elemental beings do not have rich emotions. It is simply because they all know that the Water Element Dragon King voluntarily sacrificed himself in order to fight against the abyss and to save the water element realm. Therefore, they will not feel sad. They will only be happy for the success of the Water Element Dragon King.

Perhaps, some water elemental beings who are close to the Water Dragon King will feel that they are unable to help and cannot contribute at important moments. They will feel guilty, but they are unlikely to be too sad.

This is elemental life.

Now that the problems in the abyss have completely disappeared, the water elemental realm has returned to normal, just like before, as if nothing has changed.

Although the Water Element Dragon King is known as the Dragon King, it is ultimately a title given by humans. The Water Element Dragon King does not really control or manage the entire water element domain, even if he has this ability.

It doesn't matter whether the Water Element Dragon King exists in the Water Element realm or not. It will not change or affect the ecology and conditions of the Water Element realm.

Everything just returned to normal.

Conan-san, who had come into contact with some water elemental life when he was touring the water elemental realm, could say that he knew these things.

Therefore, he was not surprised as to why the management of Rock City did not know that the Water Element Dragon King was dead.

If what he thought was correct, some elemental life forms in the rock element realm should have known about the death of the water element dragon king.

Even if the elemental life between different elemental realms does not come into contact much, there will definitely be contact from time to time.

Moreover, the water elemental realm is the source of all waters in the continent of Teyvat, but it has countless tributaries connecting the entire continent. As the water element has extremely high fluidity, it is not surprising that some water elemental life forms follow these rivers to reach other elemental realms.

In this way, the news about the death of the Water Element Dragon King should spread to other places no matter how slowly.

However, due to the differences between elemental life and humans, they probably would not specifically tell humans about this.

Even this Rock City, which is strongly protected by the Rock Element Dragon King, is no different.

Unless someone asks elemental life about the Water Element Dragon King out of curiosity, it would be difficult to obtain relevant information passively.

5. In short, the current Rock City still knows nothing about the death of the Water Element Dragon King.

7 Conan wants to try to see if he can use this news, which should shock humanity, to bring about some new situations.

After the migrants from the water element realm arrived in the Rock City, the local management welcomed them very much, but did not ask much about the abyss mutation that occurred in the water element realm.

Liu Ang, as the leader, could naturally see that the attitude of the managers here was a bit weird, so he only said that the natural problems in the water element field had been solved, and did not explain anything about the Water Element Dragon King.

③Until now, Conan-san arrived and asked Ang to take the initiative to inform the leaders of Rock City of relevant information.

⒋ "Ange, be careful. Although I can't see any problems or suspicions with the leadership here, they should just be confused by the magic of outsiders, but there may be some people hiding very well. Pay attention to their every move and don't be careless. I will come immediately if there is any problem."

⑷Anger would not refuse the request of the heroic spirit who once helped his hometown as long as it was normal.

Moreover, he also noticed that the leadership of Rock City was indifferent to the changes in the water element, and he wanted to find out the situation.

Whether he was really deceived by some unknown person or was in cahoots with them, he had to figure it out for the sake of his own and his companions' future in Rock City.

With the help of the heroic spirit, he shouldn't have to worry too much, so after thinking for a while, he agreed.

Today, the regular monthly meeting of Rock City will be held.

During this seemingly ordinary routine meeting, Ang told the managers here about the death of the Water Element Dragon King.

For the Rock City, which has always maintained peace and stability, this monthly meeting is just a routine report, no different from the past. There is no need to be nervous, and it may be over soon.

However, the newcomers to Rock City gave them an unexpected and huge shock.

Ang chose to stand up at the end of the meeting and solemnly announced to everyone the important news that the Water Element Dragon King had died.

Then, at the appropriate time, make one thing clear.

All the leaders of Rock City in this conference room might have been hypnotized and confused by some unknown object without knowing it, causing them to turn a blind eye to the obvious and huge changes that had occurred in the water element field and not take any interest in it.

The crowd started to make a noise.

Then, they all fell silent.

After the situation was explained clearly, they finally realized that something was wrong with them.

As a result, a routine meeting that would normally be over in less than an hour lasted the entire evening.

The next morning, Ang returned home exhausted and was not surprised to see the appearance of the heroic spirit.

"Heroic Spirit, you should be there too, right? Although I can't see them... To be honest, they know they might have been deceived by outsiders, and they all look terrified. I don't think they are pretending... What do you think?"

"My thoughts are similar to yours."

Conan-san, who was covered in black armor, nodded and agreed with Ange.

"I don't see anything wrong with the person sitting at the top of the meeting. My intuition is pretty accurate. Also, I've investigated everyone before and can't find anything suspicious. The leaders here should all be innocent."

"That's it... Then, Heroic Spirit, what should we do next?"

"No big deal. Now that the problem has been exposed and you all know about it, you should be on guard against it in the future. That's enough."

All Conan-san did was just to ensure the safety of the Rock City.

If the mastermind behind this is really no longer here, he doesn't need to worry too much.

"If I really have to say what I'm going to do next, it's to wait."

"Wait?" Jiu said, and Ange was puzzled.

"The news has already spread. If there is any reaction, it should happen soon. Unless the person is not here at all, it is hard to believe that anyone will sit still... As long as everything is fine, nothing will happen."

So, Conan-san turned back into a spirit again and waited quietly.
