Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

"It's okay, it's just instinct. If I were killed by someone who cut me into seventeen pieces, I would do the same as you."

"It turned out to be the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception... the kind of legendary Mystic Eyes that are hard to come by even in the Age of Mythology. If it really was such a Mystic Eye that killed him, I have nothing to say."

After sighing for a while, Elquet accepted Xia Yuan's suggestion, stopped moving, and chose to lie back comfortably.

"So... who are you? And why did you save me?"

She turned her head and looked at Xia Yuan.

After chatting for so long, have you finally remembered to ask others their names?

Xia Yuan looked into her eyes and replied.

“Xia Yuan, the current third magician, accepted the commission from the Grand Marshal of Magic and is here to handle the affairs of the Dead Apostles.

Saving you was just a casual act."

"The Grand Marshal of the Magic Sect? Bao Shi Weng? I know him. He was the second magician who defeated the Moon King in 300 AD..."

The True Ancestors in the Millennium City had told Elquet about this name, and the old man had also entered the Millennium City to visit her.

So Elquet was deeply impressed by him.

"It was him. Because the old man had some things to deal with, he entrusted the affairs here to me, and then I met you."

"Nice to meet you, the White Princess of the Dead Apostles and True Ancestors, Her Highness Elquet Brunstad."

He then called out Arquette's full name.

"Really? As expected, you already knew my identity..."

Elquet smiled and said, "Although I don't know what your purpose is, I still want to thank you for your help. Without your help, I don't know how long it would take for me to be resurrected."

"If you need my help in the future, feel free to use me. I will repay the favor."

Return a favor? What a coincidence.

"That's just fine, Miss Elquet. I just need your help."

"what……"

Hearing Xia Yuan's straightforward answer, Elquet was stunned for a moment, and the second half of the words of gratitude that were about to come out of his mouth were choked back, and he could only tilt his head.

Why is this person like this?

Shouldn't you refuse at this time and then accept it?

The little eyes were filled with great doubts.

"I didn't save you out of kindness. Treating you cost me a lot of precious blood, so I won't be polite to you. You should repay me."

"That's it, that's fine."

Elquite nodded upon hearing this. "If you saved me just out of kindness, an ordinary person who was involved in the incident, I would still feel guilty. If we just get what we need, I will feel much more at ease."

"Anyway, what do you need me to do?"

Elquet tried to get up from the bed, but Xia Yuan stopped him.

"Don't rush into this. Your physical condition is still very bad. After being killed by the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, your newly resurrected body will be in an unprecedentedly weak state."

"You can't help me like this. On the contrary, if we really meet Luo Ya or the other twenty-seven dead apostles, you will even hinder me."

"You even know about Roya? Are you from the church?"

"..."

Without waiting for Xia Yuan to answer this question, Elquet quickly rejected the idea.

"No, if you were the church's agent and saw me so weak, you would definitely find a way to seal me up, not to mention revive me."

"Don't be nervous. I just know a little bit about the secrets between the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, and one of them just happens to be about the feud between you and Luo Ya."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan sat down on the chair beside the bed and made a cup of coffee.

"Do you want a drink?"

"No thanks."

"..."

"Don't underestimate me, he's just Luo Ya, I can kill him easily."

"If it were the heyday, there would be no need to be afraid."

Without denying, Xia Yuan nodded.

"But forgive me for being blunt, how much of your abilities do you have left after you just came back from the dead? With a body and soul that could collapse at any time, and not even 10% of your strength at all, can you still be so confident in this state?"

"..."

Seeing that he was seen through, Elquet sighed.

"You're right. I am indeed seriously injured now, but even with this much strength left, it would be easy to kill Roya!"

"You are confident, but unfortunately your brain is not very smart."

"Do you think Luo Ya will just stand there and wait for you to come to him, and then let you kill him? After a hundred years of reincarnation, he is naturally very cautious. He is best at conspiracy. You can't defeat him with your current condition."

"Are you calling me stupid?"

Elquet glared in dissatisfaction.

"No, I was just describing Roya's cunning."

"As a prerequisite for our cooperation, I will provide you with some information first." Xia Yuan stretched out his finger.

"Based on your current physical condition, you can only exert 20% to 10% of your combat power, and you have to add the debulk that can't continue to fight. Roja is currently hiding in this city, his identity is unknown, but I have some clues about him. In addition, Nero Chaos, one of the 27 ancestors of the Dead Apostles, has been looking for you in the city. What do you think their purpose is?"

It's the one who's hunting me down...

Gaia had already told her the current situation in her mind.

These ancestors of the dead apostles and the dead apostles gathered here to hunt down him and Roya. In the eyes of some guys, both him and Roya were their enemies and needed to be eliminated.

If he were in his prime, he would certainly not be afraid of being besieged by a few ancestors of the Dead Apostles. However, if he were to face them in his current body, he might really be in trouble.

and so……

"There is one more thing. Because of the recklessness of the Dead Apostles, the Holy Church has naturally sent additional troops here. In addition to a local member of the Burial Agency, there may be several more agents of the Burial Agency coming later. If you really encounter them, it will definitely be a big trouble for you now."

"..."

Arquette was silent and made no reply.

"What do you want to do?"

"I just want to cooperate with you a little bit. This will benefit both of us, and the content of the cooperation is also very simple."

"I will help you find Roya and kill him, but you also have to play your part."

"For example, help me find Roya. Even if Roya hides well, it shouldn't be a problem for you, a hunter who has hunted and killed him many times, to find him. Also, use him as bait to lure out the remaining twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles. Leave everything else to me."

"are you serious?"

"How is it? This is a good deal, right?"

He sat by the bed and narrated the story, and unknowingly, he had reached out his hand to Elquet.

Chapter 120: Nero Chaos Attacks

"Amazing! Although I've seen your abilities before, I'm even more surprised by your ability to find helpers."

Seeing Xia Yuan coming out of the infirmary where Elquet was resting, Orange, who had just returned from a busy job, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"You have won over the magician killer, the Grand Magician, the magician, and the members of the Burial Agency from the Church. Now, even the princess of the True Ancestors has been won over by you."

"To be honest, with the power you have currently prepared, you can try to overthrow the order of the entire magic world."

"Is it enough to overturn the world order?"

Xia Yuan shook his head. "That kind of thing has no appeal to me. Whether it is the world today or the world after it is overturned, it cannot affect the real high-ranking people. All we need is a stable world."

"A stable world... no wonder. After all, for magicians, no matter how the world changes, you will still have a place."

"Of course, I am the same as you. No matter how the world changes, as long as there is still a place for me, it is enough."

Hearing this, Orange smiled and stopped discussing this topic.

"By the way, are you really going to let Shiki go up against a monster like Nero Chaos? Even though she has the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, she is essentially just a rookie magus. Asking her to face an old monster that has lived for hundreds of years is no joke."

Chengzi looked at Xia Yuan with a serious tone.

“If things go wrong, I might really die.”

As the tutor of Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino, Touko knew their abilities.

Shiki is not good at learning magic, and her path is at best just that of a magician like Emiya Kiritsugu, so in the past year, she has only helped them open their magic circuits and taught them some basic magic.

For example, she can enhance magicians and use suggestion magic. Although she is occasionally taken on missions, her opponents are at best just small fry such as ghosts or foreign magicians.

Now Xia Yuan suddenly wants Shi to face an old monster who has been active in the dark side of the world for hundreds of years. This is too much to ask, right? This is also a question that puzzles her.

Seeing this, he shook his head and replied: "It was her insistence."

"But this is not something that can be achieved by persistence..."

Aozaki Touko wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xia Yuan.

"Don't worry, I have already taken safety measures for her and will not let her put herself in danger."

What Orange said was right. Xia Yuan would never let Shi deal with Nero Chaos alone, even if she brought Avalon with her. When that time came, Xia Yuan would personally go to the scene to suppress the opponent, and would also arrange a trustworthy strong man to help Shi raid the battlefield so that he could provide support at any time.

It just so happened that there was already a lot of grudge between Elquet and Nero Chaos, so it would be appropriate to give this task to her.

"No wonder, you were already prepared. I knew you would never let her be in danger."

After getting the answer he wanted, Orange's frown finally relaxed.

"However, that girl really treasures this opportunity. She is still practicing her magic eyes on the training doll I prepared. It seems that she really wants to show off herself."

"Show yourself?"

"Well, didn't you see that? Although Shiki's personality is rather cold, she cherishes you very much and wants to keep up with you. This time, she's probably trying to prove herself to you by seizing this opportunity and training so hard."

"..."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"I get it, but that's no reason to put her in danger."

"But she is definitely not someone who will back down when faced with difficulties."

I try my best because I want to seek recognition, but...admiration is the furthest emotion from understanding.

"Ah, you are really stubborn about this kind of thing. Forget it, it's your business anyway, I don't care. When this matter is over, let me go free. I want to go out for a walk for the first time in a long time."

"Isn't there still two years left? Do you want to leave so soon?"

"That's about it. I can't sit still. I suddenly want to go out for a walk. I've been in the Far East for a year and I'm almost bored. Anyway, didn't you summon Cu Chulainn? With him here, I shouldn't be needed to protect Guanbuzi City."

"Besides, the world is big, isn't it? We don't have to stay in one place forever. Coming back to see Aoko and seeing the changes that have taken place in her, it makes me want to travel around the world for the first time in a long time."

"And this time when I went back to Misaki City, I not only visited my old friends, but also saw that idiot Aoko get beaten up. It was really a refreshing experience, hahahaha... I will save that photo and show it to Aoko decades later."

"Then you are really..."

Xia Yuan didn't say much about Orange's behavior, but just nodded slightly.

He agreed to her request, even though there were still two years before the agreed date. But since it was Orange's request, he did not refuse.

He originally thought that after the matter was over, Aozaki Touko would return to Guanbuzi City to pester Cu Chulainn to learn runes or go to the Clock Tower in London to get back at her.

I didn't expect she would make such a choice.

But traveling...

This sounds good, and it suddenly reminds him of Matou Kariya. He wonders how that guy is doing now?

"Thank you, boss."

Seeing Xia Yuan nodded in agreement, Aozaki Orange couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, Orange, go find two of your old clothes and give them to Elquet inside. She has just been resurrected, so she is still naked."

Xia Yuan gave a reminder when leaving.
