Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 278 Magic (The college entrance examination is not the only way out)

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky is bright.

Koizumi Hongzi has just completed the contract signing.

If you want to sign a parchment contract the size of an A4 paper, it must be no less than words.

It's not like it can't be done.

It just takes more magic power.

However, the efficiency of recovering demons through natural means without the help of external forces is very low.

The area where Lu Ren's family is located is not a suitable place for magic practice.

Simply put, she was drained now. The magic power is almost exhausted and the mental state is also very poor. Fortunately, the root is not damaged.

The person opposite was surprisingly easy to talk to in this regard, and he was not in a hurry at all.

She was given enough time to recover and complete the contract.

This person’s name is Lu Ren
  In this regard, it is indeed benevolent and righteous, but also a bit silly.

In this era of extraordinary silence and nearly cut off inheritance, ninety-nine percent of the world's regions are low-magic areas, with low magic concentration and strong inertia of magic particles.

There are only a very small number of areas where the concentration of magic power is acceptable, which can be used for daily practice through methods such as carving magic circles.

This requires inheritance, that is, there are ancestors.

Ordinary wild people have no qualifications or ability to own such a 'treasure land'. They have long since disappeared in time and turned into dust like the ordinary people they look down on.

In this world, Koizumi Hongzi has never met another human being with extraordinary power in her whole life.

Even if some of them seem to exist, they are just illusions or magic, just deception, not magic at all.

As for the one who turned her over, Koizumi Hongzi also didn't feel any extraordinary aura.

He is just an ordinary person with good skills, good equipment, and some knowledge of magic. He knows a lot about her.

However, Koizumi Hongzi did not despise Lu Ren because of this.

She is not the old-school extraordinary with an inexplicable sense of superiority, and she has never looked down on ordinary people.

She thinks highly of herself because she is good enough.

Appearance, body, physical fitness, performance.

These are the indicators developed by ordinary people to measure whether a person is good or not.

She excels in every aspect through her own hard work.

This is the foundation of Koizumi Hongzi’s pride.

Magic is just a plus, not everything.

Of course, it is also related to the development of science and technology and the insignificant power of extraordinary beings.

Going forward a hundred years, if you know magic, you are great, and if you know magic, you are superior to others.

In the world at that time, the magic power had not yet been exhausted.

Weapons made by ordinary people cannot hurt wizards and witches, but they can cut people to the ground like wheat.

Not anymore.

Each weapon is more exaggerated than the last.

Guns, cannons, missiles and nuclear bombs.

The power displayed by these weapons, especially the latter two, only exists in magic books, and no one has ever been able to successfully unleash it.

It was once considered by later generations to be just the imagination of the senior magicians who wrote the books, and it was unrealistic nonsense.

But now, these ordinary people have proved that it is not a fantasy with the help of a weapon called 'science'.

In the face of such facts, anyone who still clings to a sense of superiority has turned into dust.

The man in front of me said that he was afraid of the witch.

So why isn't she like this? In Japan, which has such a strict gun ban, it is impossible for ordinary forces to have a sniper rifle in their hands.

and so--

Even if she doesn't sign the contract, she won't trouble this man again in the future.

Signing the contract is just to reassure this person and give her some relief. Afterwards, we can discuss some conditions and methods to exchange for her freedom.

If this person's conditions are too excessive, then we will both die together.
  The witch still had some confidence in dragging him to be buried with her.

[The contract is completed]

Somehow, Lu Ren was informed clearly of a premonition and identification results.

A contract has been successfully signed between them.

Then, the parchment in Lu Ren's hand began to burn automatically.

The flame is blue and has no temperature, let alone burning hands. But it had the same destructive properties as ordinary flames, and it quickly burned the parchment clean, leaving no ashes.

"Magic Flame, a trick commonly used by magicians."

"Very good." Lu Ren sat back down opposite Koizumi Hongzi, "Now let's talk about the terms. You can set a price yourself and see how much you think you are worth."

"Want money?"

"Anything is fine. But what interests me the most"

Lu Ren began to look at Koizumi Hongzi up and down.

It wasn't until the witch's face started to turn ugly that he asked, "Can I learn your magic?"

"."

After hearing this request, Koizumi Anko breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also inexplicably angry and frustrated. Fortunately, these emotions were minor enough. She quickly calmed them down and replied calmly:
  "Not to mention whether you can learn or not. Let me just say one thing first. I dare to teach, but do you dare to learn? I say that I teach everything I have without reservation. Do you believe it?
  Occultism pays attention to rituals, and the slightest mistake may lead to disaster and misfortune.

And you really can’t learn it. The best age to learn magic is when you are just born, when the previous generation will enlighten you. You are already so old, and you have already missed the spiritual enlightenment time. "

Lu Ren thought for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case.

This is the relationship between him and the witch.

Letting her be the guide in his magical world would definitely be too long a life.

just
  "You must initiate spiritual enlightenment as a baby. Isn't there something that can be learned without spiritual enlightenment?" Lu Ren asked.

Unable to learn and unable to learn are two concepts.

There must be more than one witch in this world.

"Enlightenment is not necessary, but you can still learn magic without enlightenment. In this era, such people should have become extinct. Enlightenment is used to improve your qualifications." Koizumi Hongzi conceived the words and continued:
  "Now the magic power is almost exhausted. It is the period of dead magic recorded in the books. The return of magic power will be at least a hundred years later. Then ordinary people can learn it. Now only peerless geniuses can learn it and feel the existence of magic."

Lu Ren, "."

Isn't this just praising her as a genius in a roundabout way?

Koizumi Hongzi continued, "Even a genius like me must go through spiritual enlightenment and further improve his magic qualifications before he can learn it.

To put it in a vulgar but easy-to-understand way, my own magic qualifications are A+, and after enlightenment, I have S, which is the highest level qualification, so that I can learn magic during the period of dead magic. Those who are born S can only be found in an era when magic is most prosperous and geniuses emerge in large numbers. "

Lu Ren held his chin, "But the current environment is not good, and it is impossible to breed such a genius."

"That's right. An A+ like me is already the limit. When I was still in my mother's womb, I was kept warm with magic power and took a lot of precious medicines regardless of the cost."

Speaking of this, Koizumi Hongzi paused for a while, and then said softly, "There is also spiritual enlightenment. Assuming that you are born A+, if you want to force spiritual enlightenment at this age and change your qualifications, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible. But The price to pay is my life."

Lu Ren's expression moved slightly, "So it's basically impossible."

"Yeah. I know that just saying this is definitely not enough. I have a crystal ball at home to test my magic qualifications."

"Understood." Lu Ren took out his phone and pressed the replay button.

Call the old butler again.

　Once the exam is over, stop thinking about it. Take this time to relax and unwind.
