I'm really not a top magician

Although a few years ago, Aozaki Touko possessed the technology to [mass-produce combat automatic puppets with performance no less than that of the Middle Ages], many magicians flocked to this breakthrough field of puppeteers.

However, later facts proved that not everyone was as gifted as the Grand Puppeteer. Over time, many ordinary magicians even began to believe that Puppeteers were useless.

Puppeteerism has become a highly polarized field. Most ordinary magicians avoid this type of magic; only a few geniuses delve into the essence of puppetry, and only a very small number of them truly achieve success. However, within the Clock Tower, there is usually a place for puppeteers. If you can truly demonstrate outstanding puppetry talent, you will be noticed by the lecturers in the Creative Department and taught puppetry.

"A puppeteer..." Lisa muttered to herself.

Perhaps it was because no one had recognized her talent for a long time, so when Lisa heard the suggestion suddenly, she immediately accepted it subconsciously. What's more, the one who proposed it to her was Aika Sajo.

She is the youngest crown magician in the history of the Clock Tower, and the puppetry skills she demonstrated in her last match with Charlie were so exquisite that even Aozaki Touko's teacher, Lord Baru Yereta, could not help but praise them.

"You have sharp senses and a good ability to observe subtle details. You are also very good at manufacturing, so you are very suitable to be a puppeteer." said Aika Sajo.

Sajo Aika used to be full of lies and deceptions. But this time, she wasn't speaking words of comfort; she was speaking the truth. Lisa truly had a talent for design.

In fact, I could see this from the last time Lisa helped me make a magic costume - the Guaiyuan Sword. The biggest limitation of the magic costume that strengthens and amplifies is the costume itself.

In fact, the magic power amplification is actually a very easy design to come up with, but everyone's design is different.

For example, based on her experience in her previous life, Sajo Aika also thought about installing a mirror-like design inside her ceremonial costume to amplify her magic through the reflection of multiple mirrors.

However, the biggest challenge in manufacturing ceremonial attire lies in what kind of structural design should be used to create a ceremonial attire that can withstand such an increase in size.

Although the dress design that Aika Sajo gave to Lisa last time was a very clear magic design, it was just a foundation. Whether it could be manufactured or not was another matter.

Lisa was not only able to manufacture it perfectly, but also designed a special hilt beyond the blueprint. This hilt is equivalent to the buttstock of a gun, reducing the recoil after the magic power is amplified.

The sword in the song "Sandjo Ai-singer" can have a fifty-fold amplification effect, thanks to this little design that goes unnoticed.

"Puppeteer...can I really do this?" Lisa looked up at Aika Sajo.

"Have some courage, just like you had the courage to ask me for advice." Said Aika Satiao.

Courage?

The two of them arrived at the door of Aika Sajo's house. Lisa was about to leave to think about it, but was pulled in by Aika Sajo.

"This is for you. Go back and take a good look at it." Aigo Satiao took out a thick paper from her mountain of papers.

"This is?"

"This was given to me by Orange, but it's useless to me now, so I gave it to you to see." said Aika Satiao.

"Aozaki Orange? How can I…"

Lisa instinctively wanted to refuse. How could she, a loser who had studied textbooks for six years and made no progress, dare to read the paper of a big shot like Aozaki Touko? I...

"Just take it if I tell you to. Stop talking nonsense! Since everything is hopeless, you might as well muster up the courage and give it a try. Even if the result is failure, you can just start over. After all, you're still young and have a long way to go."

Finally, Aika Sajo impatiently handed the paper to Lisa and drove her out.

On the way back, Lisa listened to the constant gossip coming from both sides. Although she was used to it, she still felt pain in her heart. Thinking of this, her heart had never been used to this.

In fact, it is not wrong for her to be called a waste. After all, this is an established fact.

It's just that she doesn't want to implicate the teacher and doesn't want anyone to continue to slander the teacher.

So she wanted to try harder.

Even a little bit...

Chapter 77 Sorry, I'm leaving [Additional 2]

Phareus came to a cemetery on the outskirts of London,

He came here today to meet an old friend.

After all, I'm leaving London tomorrow to attend the kingsmoot.

Perhaps the next time he comes back may be a long time later. Perhaps in order not to leave any last words, Fareus planned to come and see his good friend again the day before he left.

The weather in London today is not very good. The sky is gloomy, just like the mood of Fareus at the moment.

He got off the car and walked to the cemetery, passing through the various tombstones.

Came to a very inconspicuous tombstone.

This tombstone is located in the corner of the cemetery. Because it is surrounded by trees and shrubs, no one would erect a grave here.

As for why Fareus chose this?

Mostly because she once said that she loved the scenery here and that no one would care about her even if she died.

Bathing in sunshine and rain, and spending the whole day with the woods, seemed to her to be a very romantic thing.

"I am coming again."

Phareus squatted before the tombstone,

He stroked the tall grass on the grave, and in his heart he lamented the passage of time.

It’s been almost eight years.

Phareus stood in front of the tomb for a long time, he did not say much,

The silence between him and his good friend always speaks louder than words. They often don't need to say much to easily understand each other's intentions.

Fareus looked at his friend's name on the tombstone again.

"Sorry, I have to leave again."

As soon as Fareus finished speaking, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that the person coming was Luna.

"I didn't expect there was such a hidden place here. This is the first time I've seen one."

Luna didn't care about the depressing atmosphere and made a joke.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Luna? Such a shabby place is not suitable for someone as distinguished as you to come."

Fareus narrowed his eyes, and contrary to his previous restraint, he made a casual joke.

After all, Luna Nailantril was the richest woman in the Clock Tower, and everyone in the Clock Tower owed her a large sum of money.

In other words, if there is anyone who can arm himself with money, then Luna in front of him is one of them.

And this woman is also a magic genius.

This dual identity gives Luna a bright future in the Clock Tower. She even now frequently attends various high-class banquets and is the object of everyone's efforts to win over in the upper class society.

It is really rare to see such a gorgeous woman returning to the most shabby cemetery in the suburbs of London today.

However, facing Fareus's opinion, Luna scoffed:

"In the face of death, there's no such thing as high or low. Everyone will die eventually. Those who crave immortality are nothing but cowards driven by the fear of death. In comparison, the question we should consider is how to live."

Phareus gave a surprised smile: "I didn't expect you were a philosopher."

"After being around Sha Tiao for a long time, it's inevitable that I've learned some chicken soup for the soul."

Luna pointed to a cemetery outside and said, "My damn father died there. If I hadn't thought of coming to see it before leaving, I wouldn't have met you here."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Phareus narrowed his eyes and said, "After all, the last time we spoke like this was at your father's funeral."

"After all, the chores at Nelandriel's workshop were over by then, and I finally had some free time to investigate some things."

Luna's eyes flashed with a sharpness. "I once thought my father died from the attack of the Holy Sword. But after examining his body, I discovered that the Holy Sword's attack didn't cause him fatal damage. Instead, his fatal wound was in his heart."

Luna stared at Fareus, "His heart was blown away!"

"Oh! There is such a strange thing. I really want to see it for myself."

Luna ignored Fareus's frivolous remarks and continued:

"His wounds were very strange, and there were no lacerations or penetrations on other parts of his body, so there was no possibility that someone had stuffed something like a bomb into his heart."

"But investigating this matter wasn't particularly difficult. After all, we were the only magicians who had contact with my father at the time."

"After repeated investigations, I finally found something interesting."

Luna looked at Phareus.

"What is it?" asked Phareus.

"Your magic is very similar to your father's wound!"

As Luna spoke, Fareus was instantly surrounded by countless projections.

It seemed like a warning to him that if he dared to move, his life would be in vain.

But Fareus acted as if nothing had happened, spreading his hands and saying:

"What are you talking about? I don't understand anything."

"I'm asking if you did it!"

Luna held her sword to Fareus' throat and continued, "Your magic appears to be similar to that of the False God's Book of Xuanwu Gaoyue, possessing something resembling a unified language. You also claim to be fluent only in animal languages, with serpent language being your most proficient. Therefore, many people secretly call you Parseltongue."

"It seems you've put a lot of thought into me."

"Cut the nonsense."

Luna's sword moved closer to his throat. "But all of this is just a lie you've fabricated. Your talent isn't a unified language, and you can't do anything like the Book of False Gods. You're just using some special method to manipulate animals and call it animal language."

"And your magic is a bomb. Your magic itself is a poison to the human body, or a bomb would be more accurate. Once you inject your magic power into the opponent's body, the area touched by your poison will become a bomb. Controlling animals simply serves to expand the range of your magic."

"Oh, you understand it quite well."

A venomous smile finally appeared on Fareus' face. "But now that you know my magic, how could I let you go back?"

"You think I'm unsure, so you come to you."

The two men stood in a long standoff, and Fareus was the first to speak: "It's boring, it's boring. I can only say that I haven't done it."

"Really... That's a shame."

Hearing this, the shadow on Fareus' neck disappeared, and at the same time, the small animals around Luna also dispersed silently.

"But you have to remember, although my father did deserve to die, he wasn't someone the murderer could have killed."

Luna stared at Fareus with a sharp look in her eyes, "I will catch the murderer and repay him with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!"

"Then let me congratulate you on your success."

Luna didn't stay too long.

It's not just about his father, but also about Miss Sajo's assassination.

Even though Aika Sajo had known about the assassination for a long time, it didn't mean that she didn't take it seriously.

After all, Aika Sajo was the king that he had recognized early on.

So she still needs to investigate this matter.

After Luna left, Fareus looked at the tombstone in front of him again.

He muttered, "Sorry, I have to leave again. I will come back next time."

After saying this, he turned and left the cemetery.

ps: I still owe 24 chapters

Chapter 78 Lorelai's Growth

Finally the day of departure arrived.

Shatiao Aige got up early in the morning and started packing.

As for daily necessities, I don't need to prepare a lot, because the Clock Tower has already prepared everything for me.

The only thing you need to bring is the attire you will use in the competition.

After all, Sajo Aika's magic skills are really not good. The only way to win the game is to do the same as last time against Richard.

On the one hand, it relies on a battle of wits, and on the other hand, it relies on these strange costumes.

In addition to the Phantom Cat, Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid and Holy Sword,

Aika Shajo also plans to bring some gadgets she has developed recently.

I hope they can play a huge role during the competition.

"Sha Tiao, it's time to go!" Luna urged outside the house.

"coming!"
