Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

When the faint light shone in from the car window, Roland opened his eyes.

After staying there for a night, he understood more and more why the Magic Eye Collection Train had become a popular destination for magicians.

"Gedden clicked—"

Although the appearance is very old, the train runs very smoothly because it has been specially modified.

Even the majestic noise of the steam engine seemed to have been adjusted. Instead of being harsh, it sounded unexpectedly as comfortable as light music.

There was a whistling breeze outside the car, and the interior of the car was filled with mottled golden spots divided by the morning dew.

It is exactly at the intersection of travel atmosphere and comfort. Even if you ignore its legends and mysteries, taking such a train is an unforgettable experience.

However, Arteluci, who was beside Roland, obviously did not have the leisure to appreciate this scene.

When the sunlight shone into the room, the girl did not even open her eyes. After her long eyelashes trembled slightly a few times, she quickly grabbed the quilt around her body, pulled it above her eyes, and continued to fall into a deep sleep.

Because the movement was a bit large, Arteluqi's snow-white feet and calves were exposed, forming a sharp contrast with her long black hair that covered the bed like algae.

It looks as flawless and gorgeous as first snow.

"Alterluci, it's about time you wake up, right?"

Roland held Heiji's weak shoulders and shook them, urging her gently.

It seemed that she was used to being hugged by Roland. Compared to the beginning, Artluqi's vigilance had been greatly reduced.

Perhaps it was because she could no longer maintain her power all the time like before, or perhaps it was because she could no longer put on airs in front of Roland, so she revealed a lot of her true nature.

For example, it’s quite easy to stay in bed.

"… Sleep for five more minutes, just five minutes."

Heiji murmured dazedly and clutched the quilt tighter.

"You said the same thing a few days ago, but you dragged your feet for several hours and didn't get up until the afternoon."

But Roland, knowing what the consequences of this sentence would be, just shook it regardless.

"That's a lot of nonsense... Vampires are nocturnal creatures who don't like sunlight. This kind of schedule is normal!"

"I don't mind, but the main activities on the train start in the morning. If you plan to sleep in, I'll leave first?"

"Well……"

Hearing his call, the girl remembered that she still had important things to do and finally showed some signs of getting up - Artluchi kicked Fufu, who was lying at the end of the bed, down.

Then, using Fu Fu's angry cry as an alarm, the sleepy Artluci straightened up slightly and stretched her arms in front of Roland like a zombie.

Although the action is quite simple, the meaning is clear.

"Sometimes I don't know who is the master among us...raise your hands higher."

Roland skillfully picked up the clothes at the end of the bed and helped Arteluci change her clothes like he was coaxing a child.

Although he complained, he had no intention of refusing.

After all... not only her calves, but also her smooth arms and round shoulders, there is no cloth on them. With a little imagination, you can guess what's under Arteluqi's quilt.

For healthy adult men, this behavior is a pleasing sight.

Moreover, as the instigator who caused Miss Heiji to fall asleep in this state, Roland had to bear some responsibility.

Because he had experience in taking care of Sakura and Illya, this was not difficult for him, and Altruci, who had not yet fully woken up, was also very cooperative.

Then, Roland took out a new pair of stockings from the void.

As for why I didn’t use the pair from yesterday, it was naturally because that pair of black stockings had already served their purpose.

However, just as he grasped Heiji's jade feet, the girl's cold voice came over, as if she had noticed something.

"I want the black one."

"Ok?"

Roland raised his head in confusion and looked at Altluchi who suddenly opened her eyes.

The other person's gaze was fixed on the white silk in his hand, and his deep red eyes were full of aggressive momentum.

"Is it necessary to be so fussy about the color? White silk is also a classic outfit for maids, right?"

"It's not just a matter of color. The difference between the two is even greater than the difference between a True Ancestor and a Dead Apostle!"

Although she is willing to compromise even on the maid outfit, Artluci is surprisingly persistent in the distinction between black and white, and frequently makes outrageous remarks.

"In short, anything that's not black is not okay! People who like white are definitely a bunch of blind scum who are destined to live a failed life!"

This statement is of course the girl's prejudice after mixing in personal grudges.

Roland, who has experienced many battles, can make such an assertion.

No matter what style, black silk and white silk have their own styles and attributes, the key is how to match them.

However, although Heiji's tough attitude aroused a lot of fantasies, he still changed a pair as she suggested.

After all, even if you use verbal stimulation or temporary commands, it is only a temporary solution and cannot completely change such a concept.

Sure enough, a strong medicine is needed, like Sisters Donburi...

Therefore, adhering to the principle of a benevolent doctor, Roland would naturally not be greedy for quick success or advance rashly.

Soon, after putting the new over-the-knee socks on her thighs, the pretty maid appeared again.

Artluqi hugged her slightly raised chest with her hands, looked at herself in the reflection of the car window, and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that although she was wearing a somewhat embarrassing maid outfit, Miss Heiji was comforted by the fact that she could order Roland to act.

As for the fact that Roland's restless hands brushed against her while she was getting dressed, she had subconsciously ignored it.

After all, she has done even more extreme things before, and the girl has become desensitized to this.

Since she has to pay the price no matter what, if she thinks about it the other way around, if she can get unexpected help just by giving Roland benefits, then it would be pure profit!
"Go wash up quickly."

Roland, who saw through the girl's thoughts, twitched his lips and looked at Miss Heiji, who seemed to have a broken brain, with pity, but did not break her fantasy.

Otherwise, what would he do if there was no sweet and soft girl to hug him?
After Artelucci came out of the bathroom and stuffed Fu Fu into her pocket, the two left the guest room and headed towards the dining car.

After stepping on the red carpet that was so soft that it seemed to cover his ankles, Roland quickly arrived at the dining car.

After entering the carriage, as expected, many people had already taken their seats.

Lorelaia, who was sitting alone at a table, nodded to Roland as if nothing had happened.

Facing the two major danger sources that met again, there was no commotion in the dining car like yesterday, not even whispers. It seemed that after a night of settling down, although we didn't know what they were really thinking, most of the magicians had returned to normal on the surface.

After taking his seat, Roland thought to himself.

...Of course, it could also be because there are even more horrifying things right there.

In the middle of the dining car stands a transparent cylinder filled with amber liquid. Two eyeballs, as vivid as if they had just been plucked, are floating safely in it.

In this bizarre landscape that seems like something out of a horror movie, the surrounding area is filled with the aroma of toast that arouses appetite. In such a weird environment, it is indeed difficult to attract extra attention without making some big noise.

"I'm Rey Andros, and I have the honor of hosting the auction for you this time."

As if aware of Saint Roland's identity, the woman standing next to the cylinder spoke softly and introduced herself.

She had short hair and a model-like figure, with circles of leather wrapped around her eyes, completely blocking her vision.

But this obviously did not affect her ability to see. After saying hello, she stretched out her hand, turned sideways and pointed her palm at the cylinder.

"Well, that's all for the introduction to the Noble Color, the Mystic Eyes of Flame."

"As you can see, the condition and quality of these Mystic Eyes are both excellent, but because the technique of igniting the creatures in its field of vision is essentially a spontaneous combustion phenomenon, there are usually problems in controlling it."

"Although this is a highly recommended product, if you really want to buy it, please read the detailed description in the catalogue carefully."

Before the official auction begins, it has become a common practice on the train to display the magic eye as a commodity to liven up the atmosphere.

Because of this, the magicians who had no interest in a healthy lifestyle gathered at the dining car early. Because they had wasted some time accompanying Altuluchi, the introduction of the first product had already ended.

However, they had no interest in this level of magic eyes.

Roland opened the hardcover book on the table and glanced at it casually. After turning to the second page, his face showed a little more interest.

"I will show you another product next."

Coincidentally, Lei Andros also clapped his hands and asked the staff nearby to bring a new transparent cylinder.

"This is the Demonic Eye of Plunder."

She said this while looking at the eyeball floating inside.

"As the name suggests, this is a magic eye that directly seizes the life force of those who enter its field of vision. In addition, its grade is 'gold'."

As Reandros calmly explained, the magicians' eager moans could be heard in the dining car.

Roland glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that apart from Loreleija who still had a cold expression, even Olga Marie's expression changed.

However, this is not surprising.

According to the classification of magic eyes by the Clock Tower, starting from the inferior artificial magic eyes, generally reaching the level of noble color, it can be considered a real magic eye.

Just as the description of its color suggests, this level of Demon Eye is like a privileged aristocracy, with the ability to significantly interfere with the fate of others, such as restraint, coercion, contract, bad luck, etc.

Above that are gold, gems, and even the highest rainbow level.

Although this pair of plundering demon eyes seemed to be only at the third level, which was neither good nor bad, and should not cause such a big commotion, this was actually a misunderstanding of outsiders.

Rider Medusa in the original Five Wars is an obvious example.

Not only does she come from the mysterious Age of Gods that completely crushes the modern era, she also has a legend of her mysterious eyes that is extremely famous throughout the world.

But even so, the Petrifying Demon Eye she possessed was only gem grade, which was enough to show the huge gap between the grades of Demon Eyes.

The abilities of gem-level Mystic Eyes generally contain mysteries that cannot be reproduced by any magic in ancient and modern times. Even for the monarch who stands at the top and leads a faction, it must be kept secret.

As for the Rainbow Level above it, it is beyond the imagination of the magician.

After all, by definition, that is a miracle that is almost impossible to happen even in the Age of Gods.

Therefore, the gold-level Mystic Eye may seem to be in third place, but from a magician's perspective, it is already a treasure as precious as a lost great magic.

Even though she was the heiress of the astronomy department and had sufficient financial resources and status, for Olga Marie, it was still a treasure that she had to rely on luck to get.

After all, the noble color is still within the range that can be compensated by technology, such as Aozaki Touko's magic eyes, but the gold level is completely out of reach.

If the Clock Tower finds out, it wouldn't be surprising if it was sealed away.

In other words, the pre-heated products brought out on the first day of the Mystic Eye Collection Train are the treasures that will give you the same treatment as Aozaki Touko after purchasing them, and are hunted all over the world by the Magic Association.

"Today we have already displayed two magic eyes that will appear in this auction. Tomorrow we plan to display two to four more..."

Seeing the magicians discussing in low voices, Reyandroid, who had finished her work, smiled and nodded, intending to end it there.

however--

"Don't waste time. Where is the Rainbow Demon Eye?"

The girl with a dashing and heroic appearance stood up, interrupted Lei Andros, and said in a cold voice.

"…What do you mean?"

"I don't like to do it a second time."

Loreleija stared at Leandro, her voice was very cold, but it contained a spirit that could make even men pale in comparison.

"Since this Mystic Eye Collection Train has been operating for so many years, it should have the highest-ranking Mystic Eye of the Rainbow in its safekeeping, right? This is not news I heard from the Far East. The person who can confirm the authenticity of this news is right here."

The magician's queen snapped her fingers, and suddenly, a breeze blew in the carriage.

They gathered together as if they had life, and turned into an invisible hand, which instantly appeared beside Olga Marie and took off the magic eye of Theresa, her follower.

The next moment, Theresa's eyes, sparkling like violet, appeared in everyone's sight.

Apparently, she is also the holder of the Mystic Eye.

Seeing this scene, Olga Marie showed bitterness on her face, but although she wanted to say something, she was intimidated by Loreleija's majesty and she really didn't have the courage to refuse.

Theresa, who was sitting next to her, was much calmer. After placing the Magic Eye Killer in the girl's palm to comfort her, she stood up confidently.

"My magic eye's ability is future vision. As Lord Barthelmero said, I did see that the Rainbow-level magic eye would appear at this auction."

"Although it is only at the level of Noble Color, future vision is a special ability that involves cause and effect. Without real information, this prediction would not be possible at all."

Loreleija glanced at Reandry who had suddenly become quiet, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, a sneer of contempt appeared on her pretty face.

"I heard that the auction of the Mystic Eye Collection Train is an excuse for the owners to show off their collection of special-grade Mystic Eyes. Therefore, they often display different finale items depending on the identity of the visitors."

"Even with the Holy Saint of the Cathedral Church and I personally present, they didn't even plan to prepare the Rainbow Grade Mystic Eye."

"Could it be that in addition to the body, even the soul has become rotten in fear of me?" (End of this chapter)
