Nine Hundred and Ninety-Three "Death" And "Forbidden Books"

———— "Index".

The official name is————"Prohibited Book Catalog (Index_Librorum_Prohibitorum)".

No matter how you look at it, this girl with a fake name is not just an ordinary nun.

Index is a magician belonging to the Puritan Church of England.

That is one of the three major denominations of Old Christianity based in England.

In the sixteenth century, in order to fight against the Roman Orthodox Church, the king of England established a separate Christian system in his own country and made it the official religion of England.

That is English Puritanism.

Today, English Puritanism has almost become a magical force that controls the actual decision-making power of Britain.

And this church is particularly developed in the culture and technology of hunting witches, heresy interrogation, and religious inquisition to crusade against sinners who use magic.

For this reason, the British Puritan Church has an organization that specializes in dealing with magicians.

————"Necessary Evil Church".

Also known as the zeroth parish.

All the people belonging to the Necessary Evil Church of the Zeroth Sanctuary are magicians.

Index is one of them.

However, Index could not use magic.

Because, as a magician, Index's most important job is not to fight, but to record magic knowledge.

As I said before, a magician is not like an ability user. He only has a single ability and uses endless means. If he wants to deal with it, he needs to have corresponding means.

Index was born for this.

If one knows all the magic in the world, it is equivalent to knowing the means to deal with all magic.

Therefore, in order to fight against magicians, the first thing the Church of Necessary Evil needs to do is to study magic and develop a winning strategy.

To this end, the Church of Necessary Evil had an idea.

That is to create a library that records all the magical knowledge in the world.

It just so happened that Index possessed a special physique.

That is to say, it is immune to the spiritual erosion brought by magic books, and has a complete memory ability, which can memorize everything it has seen.

Under such circumstances, Index, through the arrangement of the Puritan Church in England, went to all the places in the world where the original Grimoires were kept.

It's not an ordinary magic book, but the original magic book.

Therefore, with the help of perfect memory ability, Index, who possesses a physique that is immune to the spiritual erosion brought by Grimoires, finally recorded all the knowledge of the original Grimoires.

The knowledge of the 103,000 original grimoires is now all stored in Index's mind.

This is the origin of the "Forbidden Book Catalogue".

With these memories in his mind, Fang Li continued to look at Index who was eating and drinking in front of him.

Inwardly, he laughed a little.

(It took me a year of hard work to collect the original books of the eight magic books, but did this girl casually collect one hundred and three thousand books in her head?)

In order to neutralize the magic of the world and fight against magicians, the list of forbidden books was born.

For a magician, such an existence is not only a threat, but also a desired goal, right?

After all, if he got Index, it was equivalent to getting the magic of the whole world.

That being the case, it is not surprising that a magician is eyeing Index.

only…

(It’s just that, as a library of grimoires that stores all magic, this girl will not only attract magicians who covet the magic knowledge in her mind...)

Fang Li's mood was somewhat sighed.

The most fundamental reason why Index became the list of forbidden books is to neutralize all magic and deal with all magicians who may become enemies.

And Fang Li, even without the knowledge of the original 103,000 grimoires, could still do this.

———"Straight to death magic eye".

The magic eye that can kill all magic equally.

This pair of eyes, Fang Li took it for granted after entering the main god's space.

However, in order to achieve the same result, Index has to record the knowledge of 103,000 original grimoires, at the risk of being eroded by the knowledge of the original grimoires, and has to be given by various people. eye on.

How could Fang Li not sigh?

(Although, in terms of "records" alone, I have no position to say such a thing.)

Anyway, the reason why Fang Li possessed the Devil's Eye of Immediate Death was because of the countless deaths recorded in the depths of his soul.

In other words, if Index is the index of forbidden books, then Fangli is the index of death.

But the result caused by the two directories is that all magic can be solved.

The difference is that for Index, that result is the fundamental purpose of existence, but for Fang Li, it is just one of them.

(This kind of me and this kind of you meet in such a day, in such a place, under such circumstances, is this also a kind of destiny?)

Fang Li thought silently.

"..."

I don't know if it's because the silence in the other party feels uncomfortable, Index gradually slowed down the movements at hand, and swallowed the food in her mouth.

Immediately, Index spoke to Fang Li.

"Are you okay?"

Those were words full of worry.

Fang Li looked at Index.

Index lowered her eyes and made a very apologetic voice.

"Sorry for causing you a lot of trouble."

It seems that Index thought that Fang Li's silence was due to her unhappiness.

"I'm really sorry for letting you meet a dangerous magician and get involved in such a dangerous situation." Index said with a smile while apologizing, "Don't worry, I won't trouble you anymore."

This sentence means parting.

Come to think of it, in order not to involve Fang Li in her disputes, Index is planning to break up with Fang Li, right?

But Index didn't notice at all.

When she said this, the smile on her face was so shocking.

It was an expression full of sadness and emptiness, as if it might disappear at any moment.

(Ugh…)

Fang Li didn't know how many times he sighed.

I always feel that there are more and more opportunities for myself to sigh.

Fang Li has this self-awareness.

However, for this phenomenon, Silvia once expressed her happiness and thought so.

"That's because you're becoming more and more gentle."

----"gentle".

That was something absolutely not commensurate with Fang Li.

But…

(Sometimes gentleness seems to be good too...)

With such thoughts in mind, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Fang Li's mouth.

And, reaching out his hand, he rubbed Index's head indiscriminately.

"what…"

Index made a surprised sound.

To this, Fang Li only responded with one sentence.

"Hurry up and finish eating, and I'll take you home."

The extremely concise words completely stunned Index.
