Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 214 No Comment Threat
The vermilion door guards the boundary between the ancient building and the mortal world. In mythology, it is a symbol of the distinction between the human world and the divine realm, and is the entrance to the road to meet the gods.

In the world of magic, it also has a similar role. As a universal barrier carrier in places like shrines, it has quite a few functions, especially in existences like Ise Shrine. This torii has truly become An 'entrance'.

Nothing will happen to those who pass through it without permission, and they cannot find the real location of Ise Shrine. They can only go to the sacred place in the eyes of mortals.

Only with the consent of the owner of the shrine can visitors cross the torii gate to see the real residence of the gods. This is the difference between the inner and outer worlds, and the difference between the ordinary world and the divine realm.

……

"Let's go."

The person leading the way for Shenyuan and the others was a white-clothed and masked priest. Fujiwara Masanobu seemed to have already greeted them. After arriving at the Ise Shrine, which was not open to ordinary people, someone came to guide them.

And Shenyuan Yi was naturally attracted by the torii in front of him. This familiar feeling and the enchantment attached to it gave him two strange feelings.

The priest crossed the torii gate first, his figure looming in the mist, and then stopped in front, waiting for a few people to follow.

Fujiwara Masanobu and Igarashi followed one after another, and then came Kangenichi with Mizuno Shiina. The moment he crossed the torii gate, the world in Kangen's eyes seemed to suddenly change.

The scenery is still the same, but his sense of the spell is telling him: you have arrived in an unfamiliar area.

Its blood, flesh, bones, and soul are all hidden in this realm of birth built with barriers. This is a realm that mortals cannot touch. From a certain perspective, it is also called the 'residence of gods'.

Looking at the enchantment aspect, it is a very commonly used spell among spellcasters. It does not require innate qualifications. Anyone who has access to spells can learn it systematically, including those who have not been born with spells.

That's right, it is the prelude to the expansion of the realm, the mental world formed by some powerful curses and their entrenched locations. When they are embodied and covered in reality, it is the realm of birth. In other words, it can also be called the ghost realm.

The barriers in places such as colleges and universities are somewhat similar to them. They are all connected with the actual regions. However, the former does not change the space. It just hides the target to be protected by the barrier. If the exact location is known, it will still be It can be found, such as when Xia Youjie took those curse masters to find the Curse Specialist.

Curse only has this stage among the two. The realm of birth can only be regarded as an environmental change, and the improvement in spells and other aspects is very limited and can almost be ignored.

"My lord has been waiting inside for a long time. Please come in."

Unlike curses, it is difficult for a conjurer to materialize the mental world into the permanent world. Generally, there is only one situation, and that is the expansion of the realm.

This is a knowledge that is both simple and profound enough, but using a barrier to simulate or reproduce the realm of birth has never been seen in Shenyuan Yi's memory.

The priest in white stopped the footsteps of Kangenichi, Mizuno Shiina and Igarashi. The latter didn't care. He was only here for the safety of Fujiwara Masanobu.

Fujiwara Masanobu, who was walking in the front, straightened his clothes, then opened the door gracefully and walked in. The target he wanted to visit on this trip was Ninomiya Chiga. This old man's status was actually much higher than his current one. few.

As for Shenyuan Yi, since he came here to ask for something, and it was not a big deal, he turned around and told her to stay with Igarashi, and then stepped into the house.

From the simplest tents that block the sight of ordinary people, to the barriers that spread across the country and provide magicians with considerable assistance, and even the pinnacle of spell warfare - domain expansion, they are all inseparable from barrier magic.

It feels like...

Under the guidance of the white-clothed priest, the four of them passed through numerous solemn palace buildings and finally arrived in front of an inconspicuous wooden house.

But this place still looks like the Ise Jingu Shrine, except that the buildings here are larger and denser than the "Outer World" outside. From this look, the shrine outside may be just a piece of dough, as a symbol of worship for "Amaterasu". Ogami', Ise Jingu Shrine has close ties with the imperial family and is one of the most important shrines in Shintoism.

But the use of this kind of enchantment, which is similar to the realm of birth, eliminates this possibility. Even if you know that there is an area hidden here, no one without a "key" can enter it. In the end, the only way is to forcefully break the enchantment. road.

And the most important thing is that this powerful old man is also a very powerful conjurer, so he cannot tolerate Fujiwara Masanobu's neglect.

Although the surrounding scene is the same as the last moment, in essence, Shenyuan and others are already in another dimension. This place can still be green water and green mountains, it can also be the underworld, or it can also be the residence of the gods.

"Born in the field?"

"Stop, sir, I only see you two."

Different from the relatively bright sky outside, the room only had the skylight coming through the windows as lighting conditions. As soon as Shenyuan came in, he saw the woman sitting in the center of the room, and Fujiwara Masanobu was greeting her respectfully.

When Shenyuan saw this person, his first thought was that she was not as "old" as Fujiwara Masanobu said. Even just looking at her appearance, she was a well-maintained aristocratic woman in her forties, but The other party's clothes were just the witch costume of a priest.

This woman, Ninomiya Chiga, as soon as Shenyuan stepped into the house, she sat as quietly as a statue and then raised her eyes, looking at her with eyes that were completely different from her age and appearance. The pair of eyes that were as sharp as swords were about to peel off all disguises of the person they locked onto. The moment they opened, the room became a little brighter, and Shenyuan soon discovered that this was not an illusion.

"Is it an abnormality caused by the curse or... a spell?"

Keeping the doubt in his mind, Kangenichi sat next to Fujiwara Masanobu, who was explaining the purpose of his trip and introducing the general situation of Kamogenichi.

Soon, after Fujiwara Masanobu finished his explanation, a hoarse voice came from the other side: "No... Whether it's the rope in your mouth or the person with stitch marks on his head, I have no news here."

The two people here looked over at the same time. The smile at the corner of Fujiwara Masanobu's mouth could no longer be maintained, and things seemed to be going away from his expectations.

It stands to reason that there is nothing to hide the traces of an outsider, especially since they are not seeking revenge. Although the relationship between the faction headed by the Fujiwara family and the royal family and the Shinto religion, which is deeply bound to the latter, is not harmonious.

But from a class perspective, both sides are always on the same side, and because of the complexity of their respective forces, fighting is fighting, and cooperation is cooperation. Until the final moment of separation and life and death, everyone will work hard to maintain the superficial relationship. 'harmonious'.

But Ninomiya Chiga flatly denied the news that Fujiwara Masanobu had 100% confirmed, which immediately caused the latter's Qi-nurturing skills to almost break. Ordinary people may think it is a matter of attitude, but Fujiwara, as a member of the Fujiwara family's power structure Yaxin couldn't help but think deeply.

Isn’t Shinto going to keep that face anymore? Could it be that the "progress" on the Buddhist side is a bit fast, which has pushed the change of the situation forward...

"But why did she agree to this meeting?"

Fujiwara Masanobu quickly passed through his thoughts, and in a flash he shifted his mind to the more important things at hand. Even if the other party's attitude was very abnormal at this time, he still had to try his best.

Whether it succeeds or not is another matter. His efforts must be shown. Even if he can't get any clues here, he will have to use the strength of the Fujiwara family to do this later. And all of this can be expressed in one word, that is 'value' .

"Senior Ninomiya, we don't have any bad intentions in looking for this person, it's just because this person is an old acquaintance of Genichi-kun..."

Ninomiya Chiga lowered his eyes, and then interrupted Fujiwara Masanobu: "I have already said it, no comment."

The atmosphere fell into a cold state. After a moment of silence, Fujiwara Masanobu made another suggestion to Shen Genichi next to him: "Genichi-kun, although there is no definite news, we also have a little bit of information. It may be more difficult. But the Fujiwara family will definitely find this person.”

Showing the difficulty, proposing another solution, expressing determination and certainty, after doing all this, Fujiwara Masanobu was not ready to waste time here anymore, but he still had to wait for Kamogenichi's answer.

Kamogenichi, who had been silent all this time, looked at this important figure in Ise Shrine and said with certainty: "You know."

"He must have done something for a certain purpose when he came here. Let me guess, what kind of loss did you suffer at his hands, so you don't want to say it?"

In an instant, the light was blazing, as if a sun was squeezed into this room, and there was a burning feeling that penetrated deep into the soul. This sudden change shocked Igarashi outside and opened the door, ready to explode at any time. Take action.

However, Ninomiya Chiga, who caused all this, only went so far and did not push the situation to an irreversible point. She looked at the strange young man in front of her and showed a sarcastic smile after a moment.

"No comment."

"This matter is very important to me..."

Shenyuan looked calm and said to himself: "If I change to something else, I will leave now. Whether you say it or not is all your wish."

"But, I said this matter is very important, important enough for me to put aside some principles."

Fujiwara Masanobu noticed that the atmosphere was about to reach its peak, and he couldn't help but tried to stop it: "Genichi-kun, this matter..."

But Shenyuan just stared at the miko across from him. This clue confirmed to him that the other party must know the traces of Konsuo, but was unwilling to hand it over to outsiders for some reason. If it were not for the existence of Fujiwara Masanobu, I am afraid that this meeting would not have happened. There will be.

If you leave like this, it is indeed possible to find traces of Konso again with the power of the Fujiwara family. You just need to pay more attention to the movements at Ise Shrine. However, Shenyuan Yi will not choose to wait like this. Everything has variables, especially It is related to the matter that is most important to him. If necessary, General Shenyuan Yi will do whatever it takes to do this.

"Now I understand some of the rules of the magic world. Although I don't like doing this, there is nothing I can do about it... Let's make a bet. If I can kill you, you have to tell me. Something about him.”

Shenyuan looked calm, as if he was saying something natural, and at this moment, the atmosphere in the room finally reached the point where it was irreversible and about to explode.

"In short, this is a scale, a balance between a person and the entire shrine, let's make a choice."
