Ex-Machina in Dimensional Travel

With a scream, Takson immediately struggled out of Alice's arms and ran ten meters away from the girl in an instant.

This also brought Alice's consciousness back to reality.

At this time, Xuul had also finished recording the magic in the magic book in his hand. This time the magic was very practical, so he immediately began to cast this magic.

"—[Opening the Code]—[True Code]—[Storage Space]—"

A huge magic circle appeared on the floor of the warehouse, covering all the items inside.

Alice and Takson were also attracted by this sudden change.

They both looked at Xiuer at the same time.

Under the gaze of the two, a hole as small as a basketball in diameter appeared right above the magic circle, attached to the ceiling.

Afterwards, all the objects on the ground except for Xuer and the other two were pulled by something and flew into the [hole] above.

In just a few seconds, all the items in the warehouse were swept away by Xiuer.

Alice, who had already witnessed a [miracle] today, could no longer be surprised by anything else.

Her current opinion of Xiuer is that no matter what he comes up with, I won’t be surprised.

As for Takson, he was happy that his teacher could add another magic.

After doing all this, Xiuer turned around and looked at Takson.

"【Question】Why did it fail? Why?"

......

----

......

At the same time, Takson's original position...

boom! ! !

The entire cave was shaken by a larger magnitude than before.

The walls began to crumble, and there were faint signs of collapse.

At this moment, under the feet of "Xuer", there was a huge monster. Its body had been cut in half, and its head had been crushed into pieces by the former, and was now slowly turning into ashes.

The surroundings were filled with the bodies of bandits that had been cut in half, including the bandit leader, who had been cut in half.

The only one still alive was the demon-controlling magician who was pierced through the chest and was deliberately kept alive by "Xuer".

"The dangerous individuals have been eliminated."

It turned out that this was the moment when Takson triggered [Return to City] to open the space channel, and Xuer's "clone" came out to replace him.

Responsible for carrying out operations after Taksen.

"Data analysis successful, starting with traditional lead machine."

"[Report] The threat level of the target individual is such that direct combat is not effective against the individual 'Taksen'."

"..."

"[Received] Cleaning mission commenced."

The scorching flames swept through the entire cave, turning everything inside, including corpses, fortifications, and items, into ashes.

"Xuer" picked up the magician's neck and brought him out of the space channel, and came to Xuer and his group who had been waiting on the ground.

......

Chapter 37: Going Home

Xuul looked coldly at the man on the ground who was sweating profusely. Everything the clone saw and heard would be directly transmitted to Xuul, the "terminal".

So he also knew why the magician in front of him was so afraid of him.

Didn't it just take a split second to take care of all the people? What's so surprising about that? Can't any powerful warrior in this world do that?

But Xuer didn't care about the prisoner on the ground who had lost the ability to resist. This matter could be decided later.

The first priority now is Tucson’s education.

"[Question] Is this the individual that "killed" you?"

"Uh no, it's the monster he controls."

Realizing that he had failed due to carelessness, Takson felt ashamed when facing Shul's questioning.

"[Suspicious] The target individual has been analyzed. Based on the intelligence obtained, you have a 94.5% chance of success in a head-on battle."

"Ahahaha, well..."

"Teacher, why do you keep this magician?"

A very abrupt change of subject.

It seemed that Takson didn't want to discuss this matter at all. Perhaps he was ashamed of the fact that he was successfully ambushed by the monster due to his carelessness.

It was obvious that he wanted to hide it so badly that he could even do it without blushing or getting nervous.

And Xiuer naturally read the atmosphere and understood what the other party meant.

But in fact, he already knew the details of the incident.

It turned out that the device placed on Takson had long been updated by Xiuer with a function similar to a "dashcam". It can be said that all the scenes that Takson experienced were also seen by Xiuer at the same time.

Of course, this function is not activated at all times. Only when Takson has to act alone like today, will Xiuer activate the function to record and ensure the safety of his apprentice.

Poor Tuxen didn't know this. He didn't understand that he would have no secrets in front of Xuer.

"[Answer] His 'magic' is of an unrecorded type."

Yes, when Xuul's clone solved everything, he did not give the other party a chance to use magic. It was [over in an instant]. This is why he brought the magician to Xuul.

"Teacher, with all due respect, there's no need to acquire this kind of evil magic, right?"

In fact, Takson also understood his teacher's "love" for "magic".

Every time he attacks, he will intentionally hold back against enemies who use magic. This is not out of kindness, but to give the opponent a chance to use magic.

This way the teacher can see more magic that he has never seen before.

When the enemy has used all the magic he knows to the best of his ability, he will be judged as [worthless] by the teacher, and only then will the teacher end his life.

And now, after hearing the reason given by Xuer, Takson immediately remembered the tragedy of Alice's family caused by this magic.

This also made it difficult for him to have a good impression of this magic, but he also understood that [magic] itself had no distinction between good and evil.

It all depends on the user.

Unfortunately, this [Demon Control Magic] is currently being used by a scumbag.

Thinking of this, Takson looked at the magician on the ground again, and his eyes made the latter tremble uncontrollably.

"[Refutation] Magic is neither good nor bad."

"Ah, I know, teacher, but I..."

"[Question] Because of Alice's family?"

"Forehead......"

"Oh, yes, teacher."

As expected of Xiuer, he understood Takson's heart with just one sentence. After all, he was his disciple and had been with him for many years. How could he not know his disciple's temperament?

Besides, hasn't the magic of the demons been "copied" before? Takson had raised this point with Xuer before, and that's how he knew about his apprentice's character in this aspect.

After briefly resolving the Tuxen issue, Shuel approached the magician. Under the latter's horrified gaze, the device above his head began to unfold...

......

----

......

"Alice, are you sure it's this city?"

Takson pointed at a world map on the ground and placed his finger on the icon of a city in the southern region. He just looked at the blonde girl beside him.

The girl was Alice, whom he had saved from the monster a day ago.

Alice looked at the map on the ground, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

It turned out that they were discussing the next direction.

Because Master Xiuer and his apprentice are still in an employment relationship with Alice, the next priority is to send her back to the destination of this trip - Alice's uncle's house - in good condition.

What we are doing now is to ask Alice to tell us the location of her uncle's house according to the map, so that we can determine the direction of the next journey.

Of course, Xuul has weapons that can open space channels and reach the destination directly.

The premise for its use is that there is an accurate coordinate.

The problem is that Alice doesn't know the exact location of her uncle's house, and she has never been to her uncle's house, so this visit is actually her first time traveling far away.

Oh my god, so this girl is so unlucky?

This happened to me on my first long journey.

Xiuer did not participate. He just waited quietly by the side, leaning casually against a tree trunk.

"World resolution... 53.46%"

While checking the analysis progress of [The Whispering Chapter], Xiuer was a little confused for a moment.

How many years has it been?

How did you analyze this?

Moreover, this progress was fast-forwarded after I came into contact with Celiai and Volame. Before and after that, the daily increase would only be a random number in the range of 0.001-10%.

He would check the progress of the world analysis of [Announcement] every day, but the results were puzzling, which made Xiuer wonder what the problem was.

Since you are not sure, just ask another being.

"System, isn't this wrong?"

"This is normal, please don't worry about it."

"You call this normal?!"

Faced with the answer from the "system", Xiul's "heart" beneath the calm surface could no longer maintain its previous stability.

Is it my problem?

"The analysis process of the Whispering Announcement is essentially a process of connecting to the origin of the world. Haste is useless in this process. Furthermore, the analysis speed is not fixed. It may seem slow now, but it will speed up again after a while."

"Alright."

I just finished the conversation with the system, and coincidentally, Takson's conversation also ended.

rustle--

Then someone came to Xiuer's side.

"[Question] Did you come to a conclusion from the discussion?"

"Well, what we know now is that Alice's uncle's home is south of where we are now."

"..."

"[Suspicious] Is this all the information?"

"Uh...well, that's all Alice knows."

At this point, Takson felt a little embarrassed. After discussing for half a day, he only got such a little information.

“[Question] Her parents didn’t specify their address?”

Xiuer couldn't believe it. This guy didn't even know the location of his uncle's house where he was originally going?

But the result was that the other party did ask his parents, but because of the excessive shock after experiencing that incident, he forgot this part of the memory.

But Xiuer noticed something.

"[Question] Is it a "memory" that you previously "remembered" but have now "forgotten"?
