"I see." The succubus patted Aige's little head, "So you don't know how to use magic at all!"
"Yeah! So what!" Ai Ge, whose scars were exposed many times, became angry and yelled at the succubus.
"Not very good. You are the descendant of the God of the Demon World, but you don't know any magic at all." The succubus looked at Xiangbei again.
"By the way, little brother, you know a little magic, right? Why don't you come and ask him for advice, Ai Ge?"
"I've only been learning magic for about a week." Xiangbei's mouth twitched slightly. "At the moment, lighting a fire is the limit for me, let alone teaching magic. If I accidentally ruin Aige's path to magic, I'll be a sinner."
"Hmm? So you've just started learning magic? I thought your strength was acquired through exposure to magic."
The succubus felt a little curious, looked at Xiangbei carefully, and circled around him twice.
"You don't look like someone who studies Yin and Yang magic. If you're not a magician or an Yin and Yang master, then what are you? I don't think I've ever seen anyone like you. Could you be an Eastern immortal? Or some mysterious force from the outside world? A person with superpowers?"
"Neither. If I had to say, I should actually be considered a sorcerer."
"Spellcaster? I've never heard of it. What does it do?"
"To be specific, it's probably about exorcising evil spirits or something like that."
He glanced at the succubus in the north, and to prevent her from misunderstanding, he continued to explain.
"But the evil spirits I'm talking about aren't ghosts like Miss Succubus. They're the bad guys who destroy human life and endanger human lives."
"Well, I know that."
The succubus scratched her chin and chuckled, "However, if you want to learn magic, let me teach you, how about that?"
……
……
Alice carefully pulled the box out from under the bed and blew away the dust on it, causing a cloud of dust to fly. After the smoke cleared, Alice opened the box.
Alice felt something was wrong.
This feeling was particularly evident after she returned to the demon world.
The thing that was wrong was not the demon world, or anything else, but simply herself. To be more precise, it was Alice's own memory.
These days, she increasingly felt that something was not right. Not only did some things seem to her like déjà vu, but when she recalled the past, she always found many gaps in her memory, and even some memories that could not be connected.
Honestly, Alice's childhood memories were always hazy, even back in Gensokyo, but she hadn't really thought about them. Now that she was back in the Demon Realm, the sense of dissonance grew stronger, as if a piece of her memory had been ripped out and then buried in a mass of filler.
When I opened the box, I found an old notebook and a photo album inside.
He flipped open the album and looked through the photos inside: the photo of him casting magic for the first time, the photo of him claiming the title of magician, the photo of him with Kazami Yuuka, the photo of him with Shinki and Yumeko...
But it shouldn’t be like this. There shouldn’t be only these. There should be some more photos. There should be even more photos.
Alice felt that the photos in the album had been swapped, or some had been taken out and hidden. Although this was just her intuition, as a magician, believing in intuition was far less correct than believing in theory, but Alice believed in her intuition very much.
And Alice had collected some clues and information. Based on the clues and information she collected, as well as her intuition, Alice felt that the person who caused her memory to become like this was most likely her mother, the goddess of the demon world - Shenqi.
Of course, Shenqi would definitely not harm her. The reason why Shenqi sealed Alice's memory and kept it from Alice might be for her own good... But as a magician, exploring the unknown is almost an instinct.
After flipping through the photo album in her hand again, Alice sighed and put the album back into the box.
However, the desire for the unknown also depends on the situation. The desire for knowledge and curiosity are naturally standard for magicians, but if there is no corresponding strength, it is not called curiosity, it is called despair.
Besides, now that she has Ai Ge by her side, Alice doesn't want Ai Ge to get hurt because of something that happens to her... No matter what form or size of the harm, Alice doesn't want Ai Ge to get hurt.
Put your curiosity in a box, lock it, and push it under the bed.
After making this choice, Alice felt relieved.
Sometimes, not knowing so much may be a good thing.
……
……
Ai Ge and Alice's luggage were all handed over to the maids, who helped take them to their respective rooms. Because Xiang Bei's luggage was all placed in the shadows, the maids only prepared a suitable room for Xiang Bei.
In Ai Ge's room, the maids were placing the luggage of the little princess from the demon world in a proper manner.
For example, clothes were stuffed into the closet and hung neatly. The teddy bear was placed by the bedside. At Her Royal Highness's age, she might need it before going to bed. Books were placed on the desk so that Ai Ge could find them at any time. As for the stones...
Stone?
The maid looked at the stone handed to her by Aige with some surprise. It looked ordinary, with dirt and grass roots on it. She didn't know where to put the stone.
But she soon understood.
The maids of Pandemonium are not ordinary people either. They all master magic and are magicians who are even more advanced than Marisa in the path of magic... Although they may not have the same destructive power as Marisa, they also possess the qualities of a professional magician and sufficient eyesight.
"Wow……"
The maid was shocked to feel the power contained in the stone in her hand: magic power, spiritual power, immortal power, elemental power, demonic power, internal power... and many powers that she couldn't even name, all blended together like a hodgepodge.
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 68: Succubus, you are more troublesome than Ai Ge
There is conflict between forces.
For example, just like the protagonist Zheng Zha in Infinite Horror, he has both vampire energy and internal force, but this does not bring him any bonus. On the contrary, due to the characteristics of energy conflict, they drag each other down, and in the early and middle stages of the plot, he is in danger of his life many times because of this reason.
This situation applies to the power system of the vast majority of worldviews, but the stone before him contains dozens of different energies: the inner strength and magic power that ordinary people can acquire through meditation, the innate demonic power of monsters, the elemental power possessed by fairies, and even the power of faith from gods...
There are also many energies that are difficult to cultivate and use, but at this moment they are blended together so steadily and crowded in this small stone.
Under normal circumstances, this stone should have exploded long ago, but it didn't, which is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this stone.
"Sure enough, the things Her Royal Highness wears are not ordinary items."
After praising her princess, the maid took a clean cloth and placed the stone on the desk covered with cloth.
Afterwards, the maids put Ai Ge's luggage in the room, cleaned it up everywhere, and then left.
Just after the maids left, the stone on the desk shook slightly, and then there was no other movement.
But no one knows that in this stone, hidden behind all kinds of complex energies, in the deepest corner, there is a soul, a mindless soul.
But behind this mindless soul, there is another existence that controls the actions of this stone and the power contained within it.
……
……
"Tsk..."
Inside the stone, in a special space without sky or earth, completely enclosed like a gigantic box, countless silk threads for manipulating puppets hang from the ceiling, and on these threads hang various finished and exquisite puppets.
If these silk threads were not hung around the puppets' necks, making them look like they were hanged and filling the entire scene with a strange deathly aura, it might be more heartwarming.
On the ground, the black and white checkered floor is full of Gothic feeling, which looks quite harmonious with the pure black ceiling and white walls.
If there weren't the puppet parts on the floor that looked like broken limbs, it might have been more exquisite.
In the center of this space filled with hanged dolls and broken arms, a young girl was sitting there.
This is a girl with long black hair and wearing a red Taoist robe. If her beauty was not ruined by the scarlet lines all over her body, her appearance could be called stunningly beautiful.
Rather, if this girl changed her clothes and removed the red markings on her body, she would have the same appearance as the princess from the moon in Eternal Pavilion, Kaguya Houraisan, who has an oriental beauty.
The temperaments of the two are very different, but I won’t go into details here.
The girl squinted her eyes and observed the situation outside the stone through the upside-down doll.
"The Demon Realm, I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, I would end up here from Gensokyo."
"Lumia failed too? What a shame! I thought she could do something more, but she disappeared overnight. I was counting on her to restore my strength."
"I ended up here inexplicably, but for now, maybe this isn't such a bad thing. I didn't expect that little brat to possess such immense power..."
"No, if you insist, that's the power of her sister, or the old Alice? Never mind."
"However, even if I can seize that power, this is Shenqi's territory after all. Once I take action, even if I succeed, I will be quickly subdued... It seems that I need to find a way."
The girl raised her right hand, and a black mist emerged from her hand. It was then thrown out, passed through the ceiling of the space, and finally rushed out of the stone.
The black mist circled the room twice, then plunged into the floor, disappeared into it.
……
……
Shopping is a very tiring job, especially for boys.
Is there any way to make shopping more tiring?
Then let the man accompany the woman shopping.
Is there anything more tiring?
Then go shopping with the two women.
Although Ai Ge's age doesn't make her a woman, her lively personality and excessive curiosity make shopping with her more tiring than accompanying an average woman.
Because Xiangbei has the convenient ability of shadow space, he is responsible for handling all the large and small bags along the way, storing them in the shadow space and carrying them with him.
Maybe it was because of the prison gate, or maybe it was too energy-consuming to look after Ai Ge, who had finally revealed her naughty side, and the equally difficult succubus, or maybe it was a combination of both. After walking around these streets, even with Tian and Tyrant by his side, Xiang Bei was really exhausted.
If the succubus hadn't paid for everything along the way, Xiangbei would have thought of returning to the castle long ago.
"Xiangbei, are you tired?"
Aige came over and showed concern for Xiangbei, who was leaning on a chair on the street.
"Young man, you're not doing well. You're already exhausted after just walking around for a short while."
The succubus was gloating and mocking at the side. If Xiang Bei didn't know that the succubus had no ill intentions and was just acting subconsciously, his expression would probably have been very unhappy.
"Not bad." He used the reversal technique and inaction transformation to restore his body, but the mental fatigue still seemed difficult to eliminate... To be honest, after this battle, Xiangbei would rather fight Reimu than go out shopping.
Back to three hours ago, the succubus wanted to teach Xiang Bei and Ai Ge magic. Xiang Bei treated it as a joke and didn't take it seriously, while Ai Ge was full of disbelief. She didn't believe that this unruly succubus could be so powerful.
"What do you mean? Do you look down on me?" The succubus was angered by Ai Ge's words.
"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, if I really want to learn magic, why don't I just ask Grandma Shenqi? She created the entire demon world by herself, so she must be more powerful than you!" Aige was also straightforward and didn't give the succubus any face at all.
"Uh! No way! I, I defeated Shenqi before!"
"Oh, is that so (ー_ー)~"
"Damn it, you actually look down on me!"
Perhaps she was really angered by Ai Ge's unbelieving attitude, the succubus raised the crescent staff in her hand, a huge magic circle emerged, and huge magic power began to surge.
"Then I'll prove it to you! Don't get scared and cry later!"
"Hey? Hey! Wait a minute, what are you doing?"
But the succubus didn't listen to Aige's words at all. After reciting a short spell, she slammed her staff on the ground.
Then nothing happens.
"Ah, ah!" The succubus's expression suddenly became even more exciting than Ai Ge's. "Where's my magic circle? I just set it up, how come it's gone?"
"I said so."
After pulling the Tianni Locust out of the ground, Xiangbei felt a slight headache.
"Ms. Succubus, in some ways, you're even more capable of causing trouble than Aige."
Volume 2: Journey to the Demonic World: Chapter 69: Start Sleeping!
The effect of Tensakuhoko is to forcibly cancel spells, but I don’t know if it’s due to system optimization or some other reason. After coming to Gensokyo, Xiangbei discovered that its usefulness is not only limited to canceling spells, but it also has effects on magic, Onmyoji and the like.
Of course, it also has its limits. It is difficult for it to be effective for overly complex and advanced magic. However, although the magic circle released by the succubus looks powerful, it is actually a simple weightlessness spell, but the effect range is a little larger.
After finding the node of the magic circle, Tian Niboki can easily break the effects of the magic circle and spell, preventing the succubus from causing big trouble.
However, even though this problem was solved, another problem still emerged.
"puff--"
The succubus spat out a mouthful of blood in the street, and her whole body (?) collapsed to the ground, as if she had suffered a serious injury, which scared Xiangbei and Aige.
Xiangbei slapped his head, it seemed that this was his own fault. When a spell was forcibly interrupted before being released, it would cause a backflow of magic power, causing the magic power in the body to become disordered... In simple terms, it would be backfired.
He actually forgot this. It turned out that he was still not qualified enough to be a magician. However, he was indeed a beginner, so it was understandable that he made such a mistake... Uh, it felt like he was shirking responsibility?
Xiangbei abandoned Tian Ni Hoko and ran over to check on the succubus: "Miss Succubus? Miss Succubus? Are you alive?"
