Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

When they saw Xia Yuan, who had been missing for a long time, appear, Lanis and Altria were very surprised, and Gray also showed a happy smile on her face.

When Xia Yuan disappeared some time ago, he left a note for Altria, but she

It's still inevitable to worry.

A month after Xia Yuan disappeared, Altria finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Lanis to take her into Kenneth's magic workshop to ask about Xia Yuan's whereabouts.

That afternoon.

Kenneth was very angry when he noticed someone breaking into his workshop, but when he saw that the person who came was the aggressive Queen Arthur, he decisively calmed down.

Comparing the strength of both sides, he found that he couldn't win without Lancer, he couldn't win at all...

So he could only serve tea to Altria and treat her well.

After a brief conversation, when Kenneth learned that Altria was looking for Xia Yuan, he did not hide it and directly told her that Xia Yuan was in seclusion underground.

This made Altria feel relieved.

Continue to travel around London with Gray and Lanis.

Because Xia Yuan came back, Grey was very talkative tonight.

She told Xia Yuan about the interesting things that had happened in the past few days, what beautiful places Lennis had taken her to, what new things she had seen, what she felt, and what fun she had.

From her innocent words, Xia Yuan also learned that Altria had successfully put Gray on the blacklist of many buffet restaurants in the London area.

This made Altria blush.

He said righteously: "Hunger is the enemy. It is clearly stated that you can eat as much as you want."

That's not a reason for you to eat up half of the restaurant...

Lanis felt a little embarrassed.

In short, everything in London was very new to this country girl.

"Hmmmm, I see."

In the living room, listening to Gray's vivid narration, Xia Yuan smiled slightly and nodded.

"I'm relieved to see that you're having a great time in London. I thought you wouldn't be able to adapt to life in a big city, but it seems I was worrying too much. Lanis, you must also take good care of Gray and treat her as your sister."

"Of course, brother."

Hugging Gray's neck quickly, Lanis smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Gray. We are good sisters. Hehe, don't worry."

"In that case, Gray will be left in your care, Lenise."

Xia Yuan nodded and then turned to Gray and spoke.

"Gray, now that you have left the cemetery that imprisoned you, you will no longer be treated differently here. No one will continue to worship you, and no one will be annoyed by your appearance. You can be more confident and do what you want."

"What I want to do is..."

Gray was a little confused, staring at Xia Yuan with her eyes wide open, and finally lowered her head in disappointment: "I'm sorry, I actually... don't know what I should do now, or what I really want to do. I just left the village, and I'm still a little confused..."

"Confused?"

"This is normal. When people suddenly leave the environment they have lived in for more than ten years and plunge into an unfamiliar environment, they will naturally feel a little confused, but these are all normal behaviors."

As Xia Yuan spoke, he reached out and gently touched Gray's head.

"But I believe that this confusion will not last too long. In the rest of your life, you will definitely find what you really want to do and discover a whole new meaning."

"……Um."

"If you still don't know what you want to do, why not go to the Clock Tower to study? I have a friend there who should be able to teach you..."

"Be a magical girl!!"

Suddenly, a very discordant sound was interrupted.

“…Huh?!”

Gray looked out the window, and Xia Yuan also shifted his gaze to the window, only to see an old gentleman, Jewelon Zelrich, who had been offline for a long time, pull open a dimensional rift from the window and stealthily stick his head out of it.

"Hahaha, you little brat, so you're here. It really took me a long time to find you."

"Ah?! It's the second magician, Master Jewelon Zelrich!!"

Lainis was startled by the old man who suddenly appeared in the room. Unlike Altria, as a student of the monarch faction, she certainly knew of Jewel Old Man.

There are too many titles for this old man, including the legendary second magician, the Grand Marshal of Magic, the undisputed number one in the Magic Association, and the backbone of the Clock Tower.

This old man was a mysterious and elusive being, but now he appeared in front of her, which shocked her.

"who is it?!"

Facing the sudden intrusion of the Jewel Master, Altria would not give him a good look. Her intuition as a knight made her sense a huge sense of crisis from the Jewel Master.

Then she drew out the Sword of Victory from her waist, leaped out, and slashed directly at the Bao Shi Weng.

"Hey, King Arthur, calm down. I'm not your enemy. I'm here to find that guy."

“——clang!!”

There was a harsh sound of metal colliding.

I saw Bao Shi Weng raised his cane, easily blocked Altria's sword, and then escaped calmly.

"You actually used the Holy Sword of the Star to chop me. You really showed no mercy."

Bao Shi Weng blew his beard and said unhappily: "Is that how Merlin trained you?"

"I don't follow etiquette for guys who come uninvited."

Artoria snorted coldly and was about to continue attacking Baozhu Weng, but Xia Yuan called her in time.

"Come back, Al. This guy is not our enemy. If we really fight, we won't be his match."

"Look, King Arthur, your Master has said that I am not your enemy."

"I see."

After getting Xia Yuan's acknowledgement, Altria nodded and retracted the sword in her hand, but her eyes never left Bao Shi Weng.

It was because the sudden feeling in the room that made people's hair stand on end, as if the sense of crisis when an animal faces its natural enemy, lingered for a long time.

The more powerful the warrior, the sharper his special intuition is, and a Knight King like Altria is an outstanding example.

The Dead Apostles are the natural enemies of humanity.

Even though Mr. Jewel had tried his best to hide his side as the ancestor of the Dead Apostles, he was still discovered by Altria's amazing intuition. It was a sense of crisis that was even more terrifying than facing the humble King Vortigern, and she couldn't relax at all.

Bao Shi Weng didn't care about this, but sat down opposite Xia Yuan with confidence.

Then, the two magicians began their second meeting in El-Melloi's manor.

"Haha, I didn't expect that you, a brat, could turn the divisions inside the clock tower upside down in such a short time, and even summon King Arthur. You are really amazing. It seems that you have mastered the heroic spirit summoning technology left by the three great families, kid."

"Not only have you gained a pair of special gem-level magic eyes, but your mastery of the third magic has also improved quite a bit. But what surprises me even more is that you have reached that level in such a short time. This is really amazing..."

Bao Shi Weng leaned on the sofa and looked at Xia Yuan seriously, and couldn't help but smacking his lips.

"Your strange growth rate has already surpassed that little girl from the Aozaki family. In a few decades, I'm afraid even I will be no less than you. You Adventers are really monsters."

"No wonder you were able to shatter the division of forces within the Clock Tower in such a short time, and even completed a major reshuffle and unified your own forces. I really can't see through you any more."

"You're too kind. I'm only able to use the power of the third magic now. If I want to fully understand magic like you and continue to develop and extend it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time."

"As for what you are talking about, I have only vaguely touched the threshold and have not yet perfected it."

"Huh, do you think this is being modest?"

Bao Shi Weng blew his beard and said unhappily, "Don't be so arrogant, little brat. How long do you think it took me to develop it? If you could easily surpass me, I would have given up my career long ago."

"Okay, Mr. Baoshi, you didn't come here to chat with me, did you? Is there something wrong?"

Xia Yuan went straight to the point.

"I am here this time because I have something to trouble you with, but before that, I have something very important to say..."

Bao Shi Weng lowered his head and spoke in a serious tone. Seeing this, Xia Yuan's expression also became solemn.

The fact that Bao Shi Weng was on such high alert meant that something big was indeed about to happen.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became serious.

He groaned and said, "Please tell me if you have anything to say."

"it is good."

Then, Jewel opened a rift in the world and immersed himself in it. He then appeared behind Lanis and Gray and patted them on the shoulders.

"You two really are lovely girls, your age and appearance are very suitable. Are you interested in signing a contract with me and becoming a magical girl who protects the world? My magical girl transformation device has been updated to version 5.0, and the effects and costumes are even more powerful. You will definitely not be able to refuse it."

"Eh?"

"Eh?!"

The two girls were caught off guard by Bao Shi Weng's sudden question.

Lanice was a little nervous and restrained because she suddenly came into such close contact with the second magician, while Gray had no idea what a magical girl was.

The originally serious atmosphere suddenly disappeared as the treasure hunter started to show off his treasures.

Xia Yuan also understood why Merlin could play with Bao Shi Weng.

People who are not of the same kind will not enter the same door.

"Although the Knight Queen is a beautiful girl, she is too old and has missed the best age to become a magical girl."

He even sighed.

Altria frowned and wanted to kill the shameless old man with a sword.

You know, this is the first time that she has been disparaged for her age. This annoying old thing, doesn’t he know that such words are very rude to a woman?

"Stop showing off, Mr. Baoshi. Let's stop with this nonsense."

Xia Yuan glanced at the girls with different emotions, then turned his gaze back to the instigator, Bao Shi Weng, and asked, "What do you want to see me about?"

"Humph, you actually asked such a boring question in front of two such lovely girls. You are still too young, boy, and you don't understand the beauty of magical girls at all."

Bao Shi Weng snorted coldly, sat back on the sofa, and said unhappily: "However, as a senior, I invite you to discuss the beauty of magical girls with me. Don't be a boring person."

"Forget about that. I'd rather continue to be a boring person than to become an old guy like you who is still obsessed with magical girls at such an old age."

Xia Yuan took a sip of coffee and refused lightly.

"Al, take Gray and Lanis back to the room. Don't pay any attention to this old guy. Leave this to me."

"Okay, you have to be careful too."

Before leaving with Gray and Lanis, Altria gave some instructions. She was very afraid of this old man who could easily defeat her.

"I see."

Nodding, the two watched the three people leave the living room. Xia Yuan raised his hand and opened a layer of barrier.

Seeing this, Bao Shi Weng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are really unusually cautious. With two magicians in charge, are you afraid that someone will dare to monitor you?"

"It's better to take precautions. Although 'humans' can't see us, some non-human clairvoyance can observe us, right?"

"That's true, but I don't mind."

Xia Yuan continued, "Let's stop chatting here. What happened that made you come here to find me in person?"

"Okay, since you are so anxious, I will get straight to the point."

Bao Shi Weng retracted his cynical attitude, nodded, raised his hand to open a dimensional rift, put his palm into it, then took out a piece of light yellow parchment and threw it to Xia Yuan.

"this is?"

Xia Yuan took the strange parchment and opened it.

The content inside made him shrink his eyes.

"This is the first commission I have given you. The specific details are all on this special parchment scroll. I have something to do and need to leave this world for a while. I will leave this matter to you. Is that ok?"

"...The Moon King is about to revive?"

"Not sure yet. I just observed a certain possibility. But even so, we can't slack off. If that girl comes back to life, it will be quite troublesome. I can't guarantee that I can defeat her again in my current state."

As he spoke, Bao Shi Weng sighed slightly.

"Originally, it would have been the safest plan for me to handle this matter myself. But it just so happens that I have something important to do and can't leave. Those idiots in the Clock Tower will do something bad. The girl from the Aozaki family is not as trustworthy as you in terms of character and strength, so I can only ask you, a fellow magician, to handle it."
