1335th Magician and Normal People

The night is passing by little by little.

On the roof of the villa, Fang Li was lying on his stomach, with his hands behind his head and his eyes closed, as if he was resting.

"Crack..."

At this time, a mechanical and spider-like arm extended from under the edge of the roof. After biting the wall of the roof, a force brought a girl here.

"So you are here, Mr. Fang Li."

The pleasant voice reached Fang Li's ears, causing Fang Li to slowly open his eyes.

The person who appeared in front of him was Fiore.

I saw that four spider-like mechanical arms were extending from Fiore's back, kicking the ground and supporting Fiore's body.

Fiore, who had inconvenient feet, walked over slowly under the action of the four mechanical arms.

"Oh?"

Fang Li frowned slightly and said something.

"Is that the so-called connection-enhanced magic dress?"

It was a magic dress designed by Fiore herself to replace her immobile feet.

The four prosthetic hands mounted on its back are all forged with a special alloy that is relatively easy to circulate magic power. Each prosthetic hand has an animal spirit attached to it, which can move according to Fiore's will, and can It is an excellent magic dress that automatically protects its owner as the situation arises.

Usually, Fiore sets it to automatic operation, which can reduce the consumption of mana.

If it is operated by itself, the burden of magic power will be much larger.

However, even if it is operated by itself, this magic dress can only memorize the minimum action mode, and the diversified modes of memory will exceed the thinking limit of animal spirits, and cannot be used for attack.

Conversely, in terms of defense, because the reflex nerves of animals are fully utilized, it will be very difficult for ordinary magicians to break through.

Therefore, this is a magical dress that emphasizes defense more than attack.

Of course, Fiore doesn't just have this magic dress.

Although this one is often used, there are various magic dresses developed by Fiore. As long as it can be used flexibly, even a third-rate magician can defeat a first-rate magician, which is very precious.

Fiore, who was able to develop a magic dress of this level, made quite a fuss when she was studying at the Clock Tower of the Magic Association.

"You are indeed the genius of Yogg Domirenia. In terms of talent, you may still be above Danic."

Fang Li gave such a comment with a careless expression.

It made Fiore show a wry smile.

"After all, the magic dress is just a mystery that can be created by human hands, and it is not at the same level as those natural mysteries."

Fiore operated the prosthetic hand and sat beside Fang Li. Immediately afterwards, the prosthetic hand began to close, like a precision instrument, sliding and deforming behind Fiore's back, and finally turned into a metal backpack. It was taken down by Fiore.

Holding the backpack that looked like a metal box, Fiore smiled slightly at Fang Li.

"If such a magic dress can be exchanged for a powerful special magic eye, I believe that many magic families will be willing to go bankrupt."

There is no need to guess whose magic eye the powerful special case refers to in the words.

"Until now, we still don't know what kind of magic eye Mister's magic eye is." Fiore looked at the night sky and said with a sigh: "It is estimated that my uncle was still thinking about this matter until he died." ?”

"Is it only Danic?" Fang Li closed his eyes and said, "Many people in the Yugdomerenia clan must be thinking about this question, right?"

"After all, it is a jewel-level magic eye. Even the nobles in the Magic Association don't know if they have it, so it is hailed as a mystery that is limited to the realm of the gods. As long as it is a magician, it is impossible not to be interested." Feio With a peaceful smile, Lei replied calmly: "Even Coles looked eager at the beginning,

Later, I felt that it was impossible to have the opportunity to contact, so I simply gave up. "

"He's quite smart." Fang Li grinned, and said, "It seems that even if Danik is dead, as long as that brat is around, the Yogdomirenia clan will not collapse for a while."

"...Yeah." Fiore's voice lowered, and she murmured: "Caules is really capable, so capable that it shocked me."

Come to think of it, in these days, when Fiore handled the affairs of the Yugdomerenia clan as the patriarch, she had already fully understood the ability of Coles, right?

"To be honest, I didn't realize that Cowles had such aptitude before, but I just enjoyed the support and assistance he brought for granted. If it wasn't for this time that even I was tired, Cowles would still be able to handle it. Well, I was taken aback by all the things, and I couldn’t even discover this, right?” Fiore said in a somewhat lonely voice, “He’s really grown up.”

Although the words are full of loneliness, they are also full of human touch.

"This is not what a magician should do?" Fang Li reminded without looking up: "If you really want to be a qualified magician, you'd better not bring too much emotion, or you will collapse."

"...I know." Fiore smiled bitterly, and said, "Perhaps, as Mr. Fang Li said, I am not suitable to be a magician."

This time, Fiore's words made Fang Li open his eyes.

Looking at the exhaustion, emotion and sadness in Fiore's eyes, Fang Li understood how many things this girl has experienced that she has not experienced before.

As the head of a clan, sometimes you have to make some ruthless decisions.

For example, sacrificing someone in the family.

For example, killing innocent civilians.

For example, using any means to obtain materials for magic research.

For another example, cruel questioning of the patriarch who made a mistake and so on.

These, even if not as magicians, but as people in power, that often appear.

But Fiore has values ​​that are no different from common sense, and she clearly knows what is evil and what cannot be done.

In this way, no matter how talented you are in magic, it won't last long.

Even if Fiore can force herself to do these things, one day her mind will collapse and she will perish.

And I seem to be aware of this problem.

"I've been thinking about how to get my feet back while keeping the magic circuit." Fiore said with a sad smile, "Now it seems that I should probably think about which side to give up."

This choice does not include just one of the feet and the magic circuit.

The more important choice is between a magician and a normal person, right?

That is to say...

"Are you going to give up the Holy Grail?"

Fang Li asked.

Let Fiore smile quietly and say so.

"Because Mr. Fang Li also wants the Holy Grail?"
