Magical Girl's Knight Brother

Tang Zijun turned her head and the first thing that caught her eye was a pair of snow-white slender feet wearing bamboo shoes. Looking up, the long legs were straight but not tense.

Tan Zhixin must have just finished taking a shower. She was wearing a bathrobe, her long hair was tied up with a white towel, and her cheeks were still a little rosy.

As soon as their eyes met, Tang Zijun immediately looked away. "I've only heard that the Mirror Core has the ability to improve beauty, perhaps even remove scars."

"Mirror Core? Indeed, the Mirror Core and the Greedy One are of the same origin. Using the Greedy One's energy to eliminate the Greedy One's energy is indeed a method."

Tan Zhixin took a step forward, stepping gently on the stairs. She held the handrail with one hand and looked at Tang Zijun.

After a pause, she smiled and shook her head.

"While I appreciate your kindness, you may not know that this scar was left by a cadre of the Greedy Ones. To repair it, one would need a Mirror Core of at least cadre rank."

"I'm talking about cadre level." Tang Zijun raised his head. "Is senior cadre enough?"

Hearing this, Tan Zhixin's eyes flickered slightly. She originally thought that Qin Nan was just talking, but now seeing Tang Zijun's "rich and powerful" appearance, her evaluation of him has increased a lot.

Tan Zhixin certainly knew that Tang Zijun's action was to show goodwill to her, but it was undeniable that she really benefited from it.

Since reaching a cooperation agreement with Tang Zijun last time, Tan Zhixin has discussed this matter with Xiaoqing. For the magical girl camp, forming an alliance with the Greedy is a historic move.

This is true for everyone. Tan Zhixin can imagine what other magical girls will do after knowing this, but she does not regret the decision she made.

Judging from their current interactions, Tang Zijun is not yet 100% trustworthy, but at least he didn't lie, which is a good start.

However, Tan Zhixin herself was a little hesitant to accept the other party's kindness based on this point alone.

So after a moment of silence, she smiled and changed the subject.

"Mr. Wolf Rider, you've come to me so late in the morning in such a hurry. I'm afraid you're not here for Xiaoqing. Could you please introduce the person behind you?"

Standing in Mr. Qingnang's plant territory, it was impossible for Hyacinth to hide. She was discovered as soon as she appeared.

So after hearing Tan Zhixin's words, Hyacinthus carefully poked her head out from behind Tang Zijun's shoulder armor.

I have to say that Kamen Rider's transformation refresh setting is a wonderful mechanism for Tang Zijun. No matter what was stained on the armor before, as long as the transformation is canceled, those things will all disappear.

Now that he had transformed again, his armor was as good as new, and he didn't need to worry about the disgusting slime from before. Otherwise, Hyacinth would not have hidden behind his shoulder armor.

Noticing that Hyacinth's appearance was completely different from that of ordinary intelligent life, even though she was mentally prepared, Tan Zhixin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Could this be..."

"Her name is Hyacinth, and she's the flower fairy of Treecrown City." Tang Zijun took two steps forward and approached the tea table. "As you suspected, this is the race that Grandpa Qin Nan recorded in his diary."

Hyacinthus was still relatively unfamiliar with Mr. Qingnang and Xiaoqing, so she was a little scared, but she could feel the natural energy emanating from the woman in front of her, which was very comfortable.

"It's actually true." Tan Zhixin murmured, then turned around, opened the teacup and poured three cups of scented tea.

She first placed the first cup in front of Tang Zijun. Although she knew that Tang Zijun would not drink it (he did not drink it last time), she still had to be polite. Then she placed the second cup in front of Hyacinthus.

"Hello, Hyacinth, I'm the magical girl from Yamashiro. You can call me Mr. Qing Nang."

"Magical girl?" Hyacinth was startled by the pot of tea in front of her, but she quickly focused her attention on the new words.

"do not you know?"

Tan Zhixin paused as she picked up the teacup, her eyes filled with confusion.

As a fellow blesser of nature, just as Hyacinthus can sense the magic in Mr. Qingnang's body, Tan Zhixin can also sense the natural energy in Hyacinthus.

She had thought that the other party should know about magical girls, or at least have heard of them, but she didn't expect Hyacinth's reaction to be so strange.

"Don't think too much. Hyacinths are mysterious creatures. Their tribe has already left the real world at the end of the mythological era. It's normal that they don't know about your existence." Tang Zijun helped explain.

But the confusion in Tan Zhixin's eyes deepened. "God, the mythological era?"

"When I first heard about it, my reaction was even greater than yours." Tang Zijun spread his hands. "But judging by the current situation, it seems that we're not the only ones in this world who possess extraordinary abilities."

Tan Zhixin stared at Tang Zijun for a while, then smiled and leaned lazily on the back of the chair.

"Mr. Wolf Rider, every time you visit me, you always bring me new shocks. I just managed to repair my worldview a few days ago."

"I see you accept it pretty quickly."

Tang Zijun curled his lips, subconsciously picked up the teacup, paused, and put it back on the table.

"Let's get down to business. Our concerns are correct. The Outer Demons have already begun their attack. Lord Skeleton has sent people from the real world to corrode the roots of the Tree of Life. Many flower fairies have been persecuted, and the situation in Treetop King City is dire. Treetop King City is Hyacinth's home."

Tan Zhixin couldn't help but admire Tang Zijun's quick action, but on the surface she put away her smile and looked at Feng Xinzi seriously.

"Ms. Hyacinth, can you tell me more about the situation over there?"

Hyacinthus was still curious about the race of the magical girl, but she immediately came to her senses when she heard Tan Zhixin's words.

After a long silence, she nodded slightly.

"After the roots of the Tree of Life were corroded, the outer barrier of Treecrown Royal City was broken. Now the only thing that can protect us is the Heart of Life, but it won't last long."

"The heart of life?"

It was another new name, but this time Mr. Qingnang helped Tang Zijun to ask the question first.

"The Heart of Life is the source of the Tree of Life's power and is also a sacred object of our race. It not only represents the lifeblood of our people, but is also the embodiment of the Tree of Life."

I don’t know if it’s because of the natural energy in Mr. Qingnang, but Hyacinthus’s attitude towards her is obviously better than that towards Chang Lei.

Although it was the first time the two met, they looked like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

Listening quietly to Hyacinthus's story, Tan Zhixin tilted her head slightly as if thinking about something.

"I understand. The Heart of Life is to the Tree of Life like the rainbow crystal flower in the magical girl's hand."

Chapter 131 Golden Leaf

When the topic reached this point, Tang Zijun no longer had the ability to interrupt.

Regarding the secrets of magical girls and natural energy, these questions are a bit beyond Tang Zijun's scope.

He could only lean back slightly, his eyes constantly wandering between Hyacinthus and Mr. Qingnang.

"I don't know what the rainbow crystal flower you're talking about is, but it should be similar. The Heart of Life is a very important sacred object to us, and we absolutely cannot lose it."

Hyacinth's expression was somewhat dejected, and it was obvious that she actually couldn't guarantee the current safety of the Crown City.

Flower fairies themselves are not a fighting race. Compared with other ancient "gods", they are more like a group of simple and ignorant little rabbits, without any harm or resistance ability.

If there was no other way, and if the man in front of her had saved her, Hyacinthus actually didn't want to have any contact with him. But now after seeing Mr. Qingnang, she felt like she had found a compatriot.

Although their natural energies were somewhat different, the aura of Mr. Qingnang made her feel warm and comfortable. It was the magic power blessed by plants and trees, and it came from the same source as hers.

Therefore, Hyacinthus was more willing to talk to her more.

"For our tribe, the Tree of Life is a god-like existence and our creator, and the Heart of Life is the bridge through which the tree god communicates with us. She not only protects us, but also gives us divine oracles."

Tan Zhixin nodded slightly, trying her best to keep her thoughts in line with the other party's logic.

She knew that the current situation must be taken seriously. It concerned not only the safety of the real world, but also the life and death of a special civilization.

"Does all your power come from the Tree of Life?" asked Tan Zhixin.

"Yes, everything we have was given by the Tree God, and we are the only guardians." Hyacinth nodded her chin. At this point, she asked curiously, "The energy fluctuations in your body are a little strange. Are you a being like me?"

"Me?" Tan Zhixin was stunned for a moment, then she glanced at Xiaoqing, smiled, and shook her head. "Strictly speaking, I'm different from you. I'm a magical girl."

"Magical girl?" Hyacinth frowned. "Is that the name of some race? I don't think I've ever heard of it."

"It's not a race, it can be considered a profession."

Tan Zhixin explained calmly.

"You are a flower fairy, and I am human. However, I am the human chosen by nature. After obtaining the rainbow crystal flower, I have the magical power to communicate with nature and control the elements."

Hyacinth was still a little confused, and she blinked. "I think I understand a little bit now. You are the same demigod as before, right?"

"Demigod." Tan Zhixin licked her lips and looked at Tang Zijun, who had been silent, for help.

Tang Zijun understood what he meant and said softly, "Mr. Qingnang and I are both completely human, not a hybrid of human and mystical creatures. If you insist, we can be considered beings who have gained some divine power."

"Oh, I see." Hyacinth was silent for a moment, then suddenly said loudly, "No wonder you have facial features, unlike those faceless people!"

"Ah? Uh?" Tang Zijun subconsciously wanted to touch his face. It turned out that in the eyes of Hyacinthus, greedy people were guys without facial features. Then Chang Lei was

When Tang Zijun thought of Chang Lei's appearance with no facial features and a Mediterranean hairstyle, he couldn't help but shudder, and the uncanny valley effect came on.

Tan Zhixin looked at Tang Zijun meaningfully, although she could only see her own reflection in the light of the other person's mask.

At this moment, Tang Zijun spoke up, asking what he most wanted to know. "The power of the Magical Girls is similar to that of the Tree of Life. Can you use your magic to eliminate the influence of the Outer Path Demon?"

Hearing this, Tan Zhixin calmed down.

She thought carefully about Tang Zijun's suggestion. "To be honest, I don't know. Although the magic power of magical girls is all blessed by nature, there are still differences between different elements."

As she spoke, Tan Zhixin raised her head.

"For example, I, a wood element, am more compatible with the race of the fire elemental magical girls, but I'm not sure if I can remove the corruption of the Outer Path Demon."

"I'm just not sure, but it's not impossible, right?" Tang Zijun leaned forward.

"Hmm." Tan Zhixin hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. Then she turned to Feng Xinzi and asked, "How is Treetop Royal City doing now? How far have those outside demons progressed in their destruction?"

"The outer barrier has been broken, but the power of the Heart of Life is still there. Now the Treetop King City can barely withstand the attacks of those evil ones, but it probably won't last too long." Hyacinth replied.

Tang Zijun nodded. "The outer barrier probably refers to the veil between the secret realm and the real world. That's where I met this little guy. The space there is chaotic and you can get lost if you're not careful."

Tan Zhixin frowned slightly. For a being who could travel through the reversed world to show such a tricky expression, the situation there must be quite complicated.

"Did you come back through the mirror that reversed the world?" Xiaoqing looked at Tang Zijun curiously.

"Yes." Tang Zijun nodded. "Although the space is shattered, the passage to the reversed world is still there. Honestly, if it weren't for the reversed world, entering and exiting that space would be difficult."

Tang Zijun was not joking about this. After the curtain of the secret realm was broken, the special energy invaded the fog, directly causing chaos in the real world shrouded in fog.

Countless space fragments overlapped with each other, making it difficult even for the strange beasts to tell the direction, let alone other beings.

And even if you can tell the direction, it is useless. The different spaces mean that no one knows where they will end up when they take the next step. It could be a forest, a stream, or even a cliff.

For ordinary people, taking a wrong step is a life-threatening risk.

In other words, Tang Zijun was skilled and courageous, and he didn't care much about those things because he was protected by armor. But even so, he still relied on Langya's help to barely find the right path in the chaotic space.

Otherwise, it would not be easy for him to find Chang Lei.

"Then we have no way to provide support?" Xiaoqing turned her head to look at Tan Zhixin, her snake tongue spitting continuously.

"It's not that serious." Tang Zijun crossed his arms. "I've already set up an anchor point over there. If there's light, I can still get back to the secret realm of Treetop King City. But it will probably be daytime."

"Do you have a way to cure the Lord Tree God?" Hyacinthus ignored Tang Zijun's words. She stared at Tan Zhixin with her eyes wide open.

Tan Zhixin took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

"I can only say that I will try my best."

"That's great!"

Hyacinth became excited and then she started to take off her clothes.

No, it can't be said to be clothes. Before, his attention had been focused on the difference between Hyacinthus, a special creature, and humans, and Tang Zijun didn't pay much attention to other things.

Now seeing Hyacinthus's actions, Tang Zijun realized that the coats of these flower fairies were all made of leaves, which looked both miniature and delicate.

While Tang Zijun was stunned, Hyacinthus had already pulled off the outermost layer of leaves. Seeing this, Tang Zijun quickly turned his head and covered Hyacinthus tightly with his hands.

He had no intention of being curious about the body of a Thumbelina, let alone a being that had lived for at least several hundred years.

Tan Zhixin was also startled by Hyacinthus's actions, but she soon discovered that there was something wrong with Hyacinthus's innermost layer of "clothes", which looked extremely special.

When making clothes out of leaves, even the simplest robe has to be cut, but the innermost leaf of the hyacinth is not trimmed at all, and it wraps her tightly.

And the color of this leaf is very strange, golden.

"this is?"

"This is golden leaf." Hyacinth replied immediately.

Tang Zijun turned his head and his mind went blank when he heard this. He didn't see what was hidden under Feng Xinzi's clothes, and thought that the other party took out a cigarette, although he knew that this was absolutely impossible.

"The golden leaf is made of the divine power of the Tree of Life. No matter where we are, as long as we can activate it, it can teleport us to the territory of the Crown King City." Hyacinth explained as she put the leaf back on her body.

Tan Zhixin silently took the golden leaf, and sure enough, she felt a faint magical fluctuation in this strange leaf, which was very similar to the wood element, but more full of vitality.

Moreover, when she came into contact with the leaf, Tan Zhixin only felt that the remaining magic power in her body showed signs of revival.

"Teleport back to the city, good stuff."

Tang Zijun turned his head back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Feng Xinzi had tied her clothes. He then continued.
