Chapter 1520 Stripping the City (the Cat that Rolled over without Knowing What to Eat)

It wasn't until the swaying red ponytail disappeared from his vision that El-Melloi II heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Teacher...do you know that girl?"

Gray looked at her teacher curiously. For her, El-Melloi II's reaction was quite rare. If Gray had to say it herself, the girl with the red double ponytails was a pretty and lively person who gave people a very friendly feeling. But to his teacher, it seemed as if he was facing some terrifying demon.

"Well... Now that you've seen it all, I have nothing to hide."

El-Melloi II nodded.

"She calls herself Red Ponytail. Of course, she wants to know that this is a nickname. Her real name is unknown. She and I have met several times in the Holy Grail War ten years ago."

"Ugh?"

Hearing this, Gray couldn't help being taken aback.

"Ten years ago? But that girl looked like she was only thirteen or fourteen..."

"At that time, she was also like this, exactly the same as now, completely unchanged, as if time didn't matter to her at all...I didn't expect that she was actually a member of the Thousand Boundary Tree. It's really troublesome..."

"What kind of place is that called Thousand Boundary Tree?"

"For the Magic Association, that's heresy."

"heresy?"

"That's right."

El-Melloi II stretched out his hand and took out a cigar from his pocket.

"You don't know yet, the Thousand Worlds Tree used to be a place to accommodate various magic families. In the long history, many magic families declined due to various reasons, and the Thousand Worlds Tree housed them all Together, we can say that the Thousand Worlds Tree at that time was an alliance of weak magician families. Of course, the Magic Association at that time did not take the Thousand Worlds Tree seriously, but..."

"but?"

"After that, Thousand Worlds Tree suddenly announced that it would start the Holy Grail War, and also killed the members sent by the Magic Association. This is tantamount to declaring war with the Magic Association. The enraged Magic Association also sent people to..."

Speaking of this, El-Melloi II was a little frustrated. At that time, he was helpless because of other affairs. In fact, when he knew about this matter, the candidate sent by the Magic Association had already arrived in Romania, so he had no choice but to give up.

Now it seems that giving up may be the right choice.

"The results of it?"

Hearing this, Gray was a little frightened. Although she didn't know the situation of the Magic Association very well, she also knew that this was definitely not an easy task.

"How should I put it... The result is a tie. There was a problem within the Holy Grail War. Although there was a problem with the Magic Association, it seems that the Thousand Worlds Tree didn't get any benefits. After that, the Thousand Worlds Tree may be with the What agreement was reached by the Magic Association, and they moved to East Asia. I heard that they are researching brand new magic there..."

"But what does that have to do with the lady with the red ponytail?"

"That guy is a monster."

"It's... a monster?"

Hearing this, Gray was dumbfounded, while El-Melloi II nodded.

"Yes, in the Holy Grail War, that guy alone suppressed all of us and our servants... She is the master of CASTER, but even without the help of CASTER's power, she is enough to fight all the heroic spirits. If you want me If it comes to evaluation, then her ability is probably at least at the crown level..."

Speaking of this, El-Melloi II was silent for a moment, and then did not continue.

"Okay, let's go."

"Ah, yes."

Although he didn't know why his teacher didn't go on, Gray obediently didn't ask, but followed El-Melloi II and continued on the climbing path.

The truth is not that simple.

While looking at the disciples beside him, El-Melloi II sighed inwardly. As he said before, the Thousand Boundary Tree family has already withdrawn from Europe and settled in East Asia. Many magicians believed that they reached a compromise with the Magic Association and went to East Asia to live in seclusion. After all, it is a desert of magic, and the Thousand World Tree family who have cut off the connection with the modern magic circle will not receive support from other families. Basically, in the clock tower, many families regard it as a kind of magic. self-imposed exile.

But now, the Thousand Boundary Tree has appeared here,

U.K.

Base camp of the clock tower.

What's more, here comes the red ponytail.

This is simply the same as transporting nuclear warheads to the border of an enemy country.

Almost comparable to the Cuban Missile Crisis.

In fact, after the Holy Grail War ended, he returned to the Clock Tower, and inherited the name of El-Melloi, he had investigated the matter of the red ponytail several times. But there was no information, and the righteous magical girl who claimed to be a red ponytail seemed to have jumped out of a crack in the rock.

It wasn't until recently that he got some news from Japan. He heard that the red pony tail was very close to the witch and the fifth magician of the Kuonji family, and had a close relationship. But it was limited to this. After all, whether it was the witch of the Kuonji family or the fifth magician, neither he, the small and declining lord of the El-Melloi family, could visit casually.

But thinking about it now...

What a hassle...

It was rumored that the Tree of Thousand Worlds had obtained the third magic. Many people scoffed at the veracity of this rumor. Their thinking was very simple. If Thousand Worlds Tree really obtained the third magic, then there is no need to go to East Asia to live in seclusion (or exile), as long as it releases the news that it has the third magic, it will immediately be able to enter the highest level of the Magic Association.

But now it seems that the situation is not so simple. If the Tree of Thousand Worlds really obtained the third magic, then the intimacy between its representative, the red ponytail, and the fifth magician seems to be understandable.

Then another problem arises.

Why did the Tree of Thousand Worlds, which obtained the third method, leave the center of magic? Heading to remote East Asia? Moreover, they also deliberately cut off all connections with the magic circle... What exactly do they want to do?

El-Melloi II had a hunch that he would get the answer soon.

And this answer does not seem to be what I hope to see.

Strip City.

From the original point of view, this is just a castle, or the kind of old castle that is enough to appear in various Western fantasy movies. There are suspension bridges, there are moats, there are lakes next to them, forests, and remote areas that are not visited by people. Whether it is used as a place for vampire legends or secret room murders, it is quite suitable.

However, in the eyes of Fangzheng and Huahua, there is something even more speechless about the castle in front of them.

"Well……………"

Just looking at the castle, Heitong Huahua suddenly covered her mouth, as if she saw something disgusting.

"See it."

Looking at the flowers around him, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, a magical light flashed quietly.

"This is the essence of things like magicians. It's so disgusting to build a castle..."

That's right, if others saw it, they would think it was an ancient city in disrepair, but in the eyes of Fangzheng and Huahua, they saw something inside its "appearance".

It was as if a huge person had been turned inside out like a ball, as if the skin had been stuffed into the body, while the flesh and bones were leaking into the air.

"Huh...huh..."

"You have to be careful, although your root is indeed very suitable for the research and study of magic, but the disadvantage is that you are too sensitive, the more you have contact with these perverts, the easier it will be distorted... Next time I will teach you some protection spells Bar."

"Huh...thank you, Xiaohong."

After taking a breath, the flowers recovered. It wasn't that she was nervous just now. In fact, the moment she saw the castle, Huahua felt as if she was standing in front of a bloody giant corpse. She could even clearly see the internal organs that were gradually rotting. A disgusting breath came over his face, as if he wanted to drag himself into the world full of corpses.

"This is………"

"That's right, this is the magician's workshop. Of course, depending on personal preferences, the appearance of the workshop is different. But the one in front of me is obviously a super disgusting type."

Fangzheng gave an evaluation without hesitation, and Huahua nodded silently. She also took classes in Fiore's magic workshop, but Fiore's workshop gave her the feeling of being very calm and at ease. a feeling of. But in front of her, she obviously couldn't get used to it anyway.

"Okay, let's go in."

Fangzheng didn't say any more, but walked in directly with flowers. Standing at the door was an old man who looked like a housekeeper. He took the invitation letter, examined it carefully, then respectfully stepped aside, and sent a servant to lead the two into the castle.

"Da da da………"

In the empty castle, the sound of walking reverberates from time to time, which sounds disturbing.

"Who else is here besides us?"

Walking down the corridor bored, Fangzheng asked, and upon hearing her question, the servant leading the way bowed his head respectfully and replied.

"The two were the first to come here."

"Huh? The audience came earlier than the actors. Do these people have any sense of professionalism?"

"a ha ha ha………"

Hearing Fangzheng's complaint, Huahua couldn't help showing a wry smile. Although they were indeed here to watch a play, there's no need to say such things specifically. Although Huahua also found that the red ponytail girl in front of her hated those magicians very much, but this way of directly treating others as clowns... is really quite interesting.

The servant who led the way did not speak, he just brought the two of them into the reception room, and then took his leave. Fang Zhengze casually found a sofa and sat down, then took out a PSP from his arms, and began to play happily.

"It's unimaginable..."

Huahua sat by the side blankly, looking at the surrounding scenes——ever since she entered the castle, she had discovered that the owner of the castle had some kind of sincere love for angels.

There are angels on the stained glass, angels carved on the pillars, angels painted on the walls, and angels on the hanging paintings. The decorative lines of the cabinets, the armrests of the sofa, the table tops of the coffee table, and almost everything that can be seen Angels are filled.

"Little Red..."

"Um?"

"Magicians...why go to the roots?"

Huahua murmured to herself and asked, of course she knew that the magician's goal was the root, but this was something that Huahua, a magical girl, could not understand.

"Who knows, but... I have a few small guesses."

Having said this, Fangzheng chuckled.

"Actually, if you think about it, the whole thing was funny from the start."

"funny?"

"Yeah, you should have heard from Fiore that modern magic has fallen."

"This... I heard about it."

"In fact, it is also true. Compared with these poor guys in modern times, the magicians of the Age of Gods are quite strong. They can really achieve the level in myths and legends, like Cinderella's glass slipper and the like Hey, it was a piece of cake for the magicians of that era. However, have you ever wondered why the magicians of that era didn’t go after the root vortex? They are hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than modern magicians , whether it is powerful magic, spells, or mystery, they are far superior to modern magicians. And if you have read myths, you should know that in myths and legends, many ancient magicians have the blood of gods, even They must be demigods, with their abilities, no matter how difficult it is to find the root vortex, it will not be more difficult than modern magicians."

"What you said... seems to be a bit reasonable, but maybe a magician has arrived before?"

"Hehehe, if there really was such a person, they would have been worshiped by magicians long ago, but it's a pity that they don't exist at all."

"Then why?"

Hearing this, Hua Hua was also aroused curiosity, while Fang Zheng put down the PSP in his hand, thought for a moment, and then showed a malicious smile.

"I don't know either, but I have an interesting conjecture... Flowers, you should know the word game."

"Of course I know that."

"Then you should also be very clear that the most interesting thing about the word game is that once there are more people who pass the word, the meaning of what the last person says is completely different from the first person."

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

"That's right."

Fangzheng was sitting on the sofa shaking back and forth, smiling like a little fox.

"If I want to guess personally, it may be that the ancestor of a great magician said something similar to his descendants, like if you want to find the treasure I left behind, go to the vortex of the root, there You can get everything you want. Maybe this magician is just to inspire future generations, or it may be to give them another way. After all, there is everything in the root. When you reach the root, you will naturally find what they want. As a result, it came and went again and again, and the meaning was poor... Hehehe, it was like a pirate who said to everyone before execution that if you want to find my treasure, go to the Great Channel——and then a group of people I have been at sea for decades, and at first I was looking for treasures, but in the end, I don’t know why, the rumors gradually became distorted, as long as the person who finds those treasures can become the king of pirates... How? It’s very interesting.”

"It's really interesting."

At this moment, suddenly, an old voice came.

"So, are magicians who search for their roots all clowns?"

"Approximately, in my opinion."

Hua Hua stood up a little surprised by the voice that suddenly appeared behind her, while Fang Zheng was still sitting on the sofa, fiddling with the PSP in his hand.

"What these magicians are doing now is almost as if they picked up a piece of debris from an alien flying saucer on the beach and hoped to rely on this piece of debris to restore everything about the entire alien civilization. There is almost nothing more ridiculous than this thing."

Having said this, Fangzheng pressed the pause button, then raised his head to look at the door, accompanied by the faint sound of metal friction, an old man in a wheelchair slowly appeared in front of the two of them, he seemed to be over eighty years old. Years old, the whole person is like a skinny mummy, and behind the old man is a boy——no, it's more like a doll than a boy. He was like a robot without self-awareness, pushing the old man's wheelchair, staring blankly at the void with both eyes.

"Hehehe, young people nowadays are sharp-tongued. Are you the emissary from that heresy?"

"I don't want to be called a heretic by you."

Fangzheng pouted.

"The Thousand Worlds Tree exists for this world, at least...more valuable than your Magic Association."

"How can a little girl like you understand the ideal of a magician?"

Hearing this, the old man frowned slightly and became serious, but Fang Zheng glanced at it and lowered his head again.

"Your ideals are worthless to the Thousand Boundary Tree, and they are also worthless to this world. Of course, it's fine if you like to enjoy yourself behind closed doors, but disturbing others is another time. I don’t think the governments of all countries want unexplained disasters and murders to occur in their countries.”

"Humph!"

Hearing this, the old man's face darkened, what Fangzheng was talking about was their fatal spot. If it was hundreds of years ago, they could also use their mystical powers to cooperate with the rulers. But now, with the progress and development of the times, magicians have gradually been marginalized. Although they can still rely on their own wealth and strength to obtain a certain degree of support, but... there is no way to be the same as before .

"I want to see what the Thousand Boundary Tree is capable of!"

As he spoke, the old man lightly tapped the crutch in his hand. In an instant, hundreds of golden butterflies appeared from all directions, and then they gathered together and rushed towards Fangzheng and the flowers.

Faced with the old man's attack, Fangzheng didn't even raise his head. On the contrary, it was the flowers that struck first.

She stretched out her right hand, and quickly slid a series of mysterious characters in the air with her fingers. The next moment, she saw a wall of flames rising from the ground, separating the old man from them. And those golden butterflies were directly swallowed by the flames, leaving no trace without leaving a trace.

Then, Huahua waved her hand abruptly, and the burning flame quickly retracted in the next moment. Apart from leaving a dark scorched mark on the ground, everything around her seemed to have not changed at all.

"so………"

Until this time, Fangzheng put down the PSP in his hand and looked at the old man again.

"Times have changed, old man."
