Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 198 Trouble in Ping An Jing

Heian Jing.

This capital city with the same name as the era is a symbol of the transition from one era to another.

Influenced by the heyday of that great country, the city's planning and layout are also very similar to the former. The streets, houses, etc. are all very neatly laid out.

The Heian period was not only the most prosperous period in terms of magic, but also a rare golden age in history for ordinary people.

Art, economy...etc. have all reached a very high level, but all of this...has nothing to do with most people.

……

"Coming."

Shenyuanyi was driving a carriage, with the quiet Mizuno Shiina beside him. Inside the carriage was Su Nuo, who refused to stay with him, even though Shenyuanyi had been bound to him.

Now Su Nuo can't bear the price of violating the restriction of "no harm to Mizuno Shiina", but the little guy is unwilling to sit in the carriage no matter what.

Shenyuanyi also understood her fear, so he did not force her, but allowed her to stay by his side.

Shenyuan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never known exactly what era Tianyuan was from. It was said that he was active in the Heian period, and even had traces of him in the Nara period.

What caught the eye of Shenyuan was a place that could truly be called a "city". Perhaps people in the future would see it as nothing more than this, but compared with what they had seen before when they came to this era, it was It can already be called brilliant and magnificent.

He had forgotten that the children of common people in this era grew up like this. Shenyuan just thought about this with his own thinking, which may be inappropriate, but in his opinion, there was no need to change it.

At this moment, the first thing that came to his mind was Tian Yuan, the Tian Yuan who could leave a mark in the history of magic.

As for directly demonstrating strength and then hoping to gain power and status in exchange for it, this may be feasible, but the speed is too slow and also uncertain.

The former is faster, but of course there are hidden dangers. However, Shenyuanyi's technique cannot create any shocking scenes except expanding the field.

However, after the second glance, Shenyuan Yi noticed another conspicuous place in the capital, which was the level of spells.

Therefore, Shenyuan Yi did not let them go. While sending them away, he also distributed the money they plundered to those who were rescued.

In Shenyuan Yi's "vision", the barrier that completely enveloped the capital was so huge that with its existence, I'm afraid the scene of "a hundred ghosts walking at night" would not be able to appear here.

Although many of these bandits joined banditry due to various reasons and had no choice but to survive in human society.

"What a strong enchantment. I'm afraid the enchantments in high schools are not this strong!"

So it would be reasonable for Shenyuan Yi to take a little money as a reward. You must know that his "savior" is already worried about where to eat next.

But once these guys taste the enjoyment of robbing ordinary people, in a sense they are more terrifying than those nobles, and the damage they can cause is even comparable to those curses.

As for this carriage... it's very simple to say that when Shenyuanyi was still worried about how to solve a series of matters that required money on the road, they ran into a group of bandits.

And based on Shenyuan's understanding of these guys who are at the top of the magic arts, it is probably impossible to achieve the results he wants without causing them pain to the core.

But Shiina can't do it. From Kangenichi's point of view, can a child of this age do it? Just fool him, he can't let Shiina eat those foods that are rotten into a pot of mush and don't know what they are made of.

To be honest, some of them were indeed very miserable, but now...the villagers who were slaughtered and humiliated by them have something to say.

"How do we get in touch with the current high-level people in the magic world? Do we use violence directly or set up a trap?"

"If that doesn't work, we can only use violence. Anyway...it doesn't matter if those guys kill them."

He can go long periods without eating, and Su Nuo even meets these needs while hunting wild animals himself.

As for those cookie-cutter "grass leaves", grain dumplings and the like, adults can just eat them. How can children supplement their nutrition by eating these?

Thinking that Shenyuan Yi had added another goal for himself, Tianyuan, Kensuo... I didn't expect that a thousand years ago, there were also familiar names in this era.

-

You also need to check before entering the city, but as magicians are what ordinary people in this era call Onmyoji, this group of course has the privilege in this regard.

Regardless of origin or destination, all magicians who want to enter do not need any credentials or directions, they only need to show their identity as a magician.

The only inconvenience is that they need to accept some monitoring from the Heian Jingju Master. Of course, this method is very limited. It is probably just to prevent them from breaking into some important places and causing any harm to those big shots.

However, it has been a long time since such an idiot dared to do something under the nose of the Fujiwara family and in a place where powerful magicians gathered.

Whether it is the former capital or the newly relocated Heianjing, they are not only the centers of secular politics, but also the centers of magic.

Of course Shenyuanyi didn't care about this. After completing a series of procedures in front of two low-level magicians who had some spells, he was ready to enter the city.

However, at this moment, there was a strange sound that sounded like horse hooves treading the ground on the avenue outside.

As soon as Shenyuan looked back, he saw a group of people running towards him in a slightly embarrassed manner. What made him suspicious was that the people riding under them were not horses, but a group of cursed spirits with slightly different appearances but generally similar shapes!

Those cursed spirits have six to eight legs, and they are also of the "all-fours" type. Their heads are similar to the shape of tigers, and their bodies have some weird meat buns and tendrils. The muscles that are so strong that they are almost exploding are the driving force for them to be as fast as wind and thunder. Of course, these knights are also magicians, and these almost identical magic spirits should be the tools they use to travel.

Of course, what surprised Shenyuanyi was not that they used shikigami or curse spirits as tools. This method was common among magicians.

There are shikigami users who control shikigami to fight, and there are also special beings like Xia Youjie who use spells to control curse spirits. Didn't Shenyuanyi also get a curse spirit as a storage tool, but later In the process of traveling through time and space, the person seems to have completely died and turned into a curse-like existence.

As for using it as a means of transportation, it is not very common just because of modern reasons. In the magic world, because ordinary people have to be taken into consideration, of course they will not do this.

Ordinary people cannot see the cursed spirits, but they can see the cursed master who is being carried through thin air, let alone the cursed master. They can't even hide in time. Are you tired of living in swagger and plan to call someone to exorcise yourself?

The second important reason is that modern times already have very convenient and fast transportation, and in most cases they do not need to use it to travel.

But in this era, magic spirits and shikigami, which are faster than horses, seem to have become a means of transportation for magicians.

Moreover...these curse spirits are, yes, not shikigami. Whether the shikigami are created by magicians using spells or transformed from curse spirits, they will all bear the personal curse characteristics of the creator.

However, in Shenyuan Yi's perception, these curse spirits have nothing to do with the knights in them, and the curse power they emit is also a typical negative curse power.

This is also what surprises Shenyuanyi. The weaker things like curse spirits are, they will live in groups and have many nearly identical individuals. The more powerful they are, their appearance and abilities will be different.

As for these cursed spirits that are regarded as horses, although they are very similar, their strength is not weak at all. Shenyuanyi has visually determined that they have reached the third level. If they have any special abilities, they can even touch them. to the second level threshold.

Cursed spirits of this level are so similar, how do they do it? It's impossible that you just happened to encounter this group of curse spirits and then collected them and used them as shikigami, right?

And just as Shenyuan looked at this group of magicians thinking, the other party also noticed this existence that was obviously the same kind.

First of all, it must be explained that it is difficult for magicians to accurately detect each other's true strength, except for the six eyes of the Gojo family.

Only when the disparity in strength reaches a terrifying level, will the weak be frightened by the extremely rich spell power of the strong.

But if a magician is determined not to use the magic power, it will be difficult to detect what level of magician the other person is from the perspective of magic alone. The lower the strength, the more so.

Generally, you rely on your keen perception to infer the opponent's general level from all aspects. The power of a strong person is not only reflected in the level of spells. Even if he just does nothing, a cross of eyes can make you understand what is called terror.

Of course, this aspect is not so absolute. Just like Gojo Satoru can go shopping like a man who only dresses a little weirdly. He can also frighten the curse master who tried to assassinate him when he was young without even a conflict.

There are also magicians who have tried to study this, and two schools have emerged. One believes that the power of magic can oppress people's five senses in some mysterious latitude, even if it is stored but not released, it is just. exist there.

The other school believes that a powerful magician has gradually advanced from soul to body to a higher level on the road of magic. Therefore, the magician's more powerful sixth sense will detect it and tell the brain what is on the other side. Horrible "monster".

Later, the second guess was suppressed because it was suspected of advocating the superhuman theory of magicians. In addition, in actual combat, this kind of speculation does not make much sense. If the difference in strength is too large, the enemy will only kill you instantly, and those with a small difference will not be able to sense. Whatever comes out, it becomes useless.

But Nakabayashi Toya, who had just returned, didn't think so. With just a glance, as a captain of the Sun Moon Star team, he certainly noticed something abnormal there.

The first was the magical aura in the carriage next to him. It was unabashed, not very powerful, but a little weird, and it gave him an inexplicable feeling of numbness in his scalp.

But the most important thing is the young man. He is handsome in appearance but a little weird in his behavior. However, this is not a rare thing among conjurers. What really attracts him is the moment when Lin Dongmi's eyes came into contact with him, he intuitively played. A fatal warning.

Technique·Avoiding misfortune

As the name suggests, Nakabayashi Toya seems to have a pair of eyes that can discern the secrets of disasters. Faced with various possible disasters, he has successfully avoided and survived every time by relying on his own magic.

Originally, his spells had little lethality, and he was almost destined to end: living in this era until he encountered a disaster that exceeded the upper limit of his spells, and then died miserably.

But whether it was fate or his magic that played a role, Nakabayashi Toya met the most important noble person in his life, who introduced him to a powerful figure in the Fujiwara Kita family.

Because of this, his spells were valued, and he was trained and taught... He had never seen spells with such changes and skills. With the accumulation of resources, Nakabayashi Toya became stronger, and his development of spells It has also reached a level where it can be used in battle.

After all, being able to make an instant decision to avoid defeat in a fight is extremely terrifying. Toya Nakabayashi's daily job has become to protect some important figures in the Fujiwara family and take on some more difficult tasks.

This mission was carried out by him and another team, but unexpectedly, it was just an exploration mission, and only a few people from their two teams were dead and fled in a hurry.

"It's too scary. That curse spirit cannot be dealt with by just a few people of my level. I'm afraid that Sun Moon Star will need to dispatch most of the people to join the team, or the captain will take action..."

With this realization, he and the other survivors hurried back on "ghost horses". Even if he saw strange people who were not right, he had no time to take care of them.

"Let's report to the adults together later."

With this thought, Nakabayashi Touya just looked at him for a moment, and then rushed into the city from the side of Shenyuan. The people who defended the city naturally knew these important people to them, and they just respectfully stepped aside. position and then watched it go away.

"Perhaps, there will be ready-made opportunities."

Watching those embarrassed magicians go away, Shenyuan Yi thought that these magicians were obviously much better than the miscellaneous fish they had encountered before.

And judging from their appearance, they must have encountered some kind of trouble. 30% of them were fighting with spellcasters from other forces, and 60% of them were probably related to curses.

Then, as long as you can intervene and show some strength appropriately, you might be able to kill less "chickens" to scare those monkeys, and you might even be able to directly get the rights you need.
