To be king and magician

"so slow!"

In the office, Aoqi Chengzi, who was sitting on the ground with her legs outstretched, glared at the two who came back.

"I waited until now because you said you were going to eat in the office. If I knew it, I would have eaten outside."

"Although I just received a final payment, it doesn't mean that you can start spending money lavishly, teacher. Eating at home is much cheaper than going out to restaurants."

Xia Chuanhu took the beer can from her while talking.

"Also, drink less alcohol, it's not good for your health. You drank so much wine before dinner...Is there a small half box in here? You drank so much by yourself ?”

"I don't know it - I'm hungry compared to this! Go cook for me! I want to drink and eat! And cute boys! Xia Chuan, you old man, stay away from me!"

"I'm only 21! I haven't reached uncle's age yet!"

"Brother, is this the legendary drunken madness?"

"Grey, you don't need to know this kind of knowledge." Xia Chuanhu helplessly supported his forehead. The shameful adults will only impart unnecessary cold knowledge to children—or reduce the relationship between Grey and Aoqi Chengzi in the future. contact?

Sweeping up the bottles and cans scattered on the ground and throwing them into the trash can, and moving the Aoqi oranges, which were obviously drunk, to the sofa, Xia Chuanhu said to Grey: "Grey, take care of her now , I'm going to cook... ah!"

At this time, Xia Chuanhu remembered that because Canozaki Chengzi said that she could use magic to ignite and cook, so Xia Chuanhu did not buy an induction cooker and came back, and then...

Looking at Aoqi Chengzi who was already drunk on the sofa, Xia Chuanhu suddenly had an urge to smash her body.

It was agreed to be responsible for lighting the fire!What does it mean that you got drunk first?

"Brother, what should I do?"

"I'm going to try to ignite the fire, at worst it will blow up the house."

Anyway, it's not the first time, just blow it up, just practice it.

Seeing Xia Chuanhu leaving with the vegetables, Gray couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, took out Yade from under the cloak and shook it: "Yade, what do you think?"

"What do I think?"

"My brother is going to cook."

"Well, it shouldn't be a problem. Although he has fried kitchens before, he has grown up a lot in the past few years. The control of magic is definitely not a problem, right? The rest is the taste - hee hee, Grey You should be able to eat it regardless of the taste, right? After all, it was made by your beloved brother!"

"You, what are you talking about!"

Grey, who blushed for a moment, lifted Yade up——

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't smash it! Don't smash it! It will really break if you hit it on the corner of the table! It really will!" Yade hurriedly begged for mercy, "By the way, why are you so shy? I told you Tell me, my little brother is the type who will be sunk by a straight ball crit, just click on it—"

"Clang-crack-!"

"It hurts ah ah ah ah ah!"

Grey, who was extremely shy, threw Yad up to the ceiling and hit the hanging electric fan hard.

16. Ogawa Apartments

"Tiger."

"Yes, I am here, teacher."

"Please explain to me, what is this thing you made?"

"It's a puppet, teacher."

Doll?

Looking at the tattered structure on his desk that was almost a skeleton without even a single shape, Aoqi Chengzi took off his glasses and rubbed them a few times before glaring at Xia Chuanhu fiercely.

"Tiger, if I remember correctly, my request to you is [make the simplest doll], right?"

"As you said, teacher. Isn't this the simplest doll?"

"But I didn't ask you to use the spare rib bones left over from eating these days to make dolls!"

It is now the fourth month that Xia Chuanhu has officially joined Aoqi Chengzi’s door. After receiving the training on puppet theory knowledge in the previous three months, and watching Aozaki Chengzi make nearly ten dolls, he thinks that he has taught enough The knowledgeable Aoqi Chengzi assigned Xia Chuanhu the first homework.

——Use any material to make the simplest puppet.

In the final analysis, the materials for making dolls are not fixed, soil, trees, metal...even water can be made into dolls, it just requires extremely high standards.

Xia Chuanhu is still a layman in puppet making, so Aoqi Chengzi is not going to set too high a standard for him, as long as he can make a good one, he will be qualified—but she never imagined that Xia Chuanhu directly Made it with the leftover bones from eating these days!

The limbs are the chicken wings from the day before yesterday, and the body parts are carved from the big ribs from last night.And the shape is still very good. Although the more difficult flying dragon is used, the degree of restoration is extremely high.

It can even move!

"I... well, I don't even know what to say."

After holding back for a long time, Cang Qi Chengzi still sighed helplessly: "Can't you use serious materials?"

"Is there something wrong with the materials? Aren't they all animal bones? Since magicians in the age of gods can use keel bones, it doesn't make sense that modern magicians can't use cow bones, right? And I have also done magic processing properly, all according to the teacher You taught me to do it. And it saves money by using beef bones.”

"..."

Aoqi Chengzi really wanted to refute, but logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with what his apprentice said.

Taking a deep breath, resisting the desire to continue complaining, Aoqi Chengzi picked up the flying dragon doll on the table: "I will give you a passing grade, if you can make it with normal materials next time It's even better."

"I understand."

"However, where did you find the skeleton structure of the flying dragon?" Aoqi Chengzi looked at the doll and asked, "This structure is not exactly the same as the skeletons of various existing creatures, so you didn't really find a dragon, did you? "

"Well... it's just my imagination."

Xia Chuanhu took out the encore device while talking.

"Having said that, there are many places that I can't be sure of just relying on my imagination, so I linked my thinking with the re-enactment device, and let it help me reproduce the skeleton structure of the dragon species I imagined. .”

Unheard of operation.

Aoqi Chengzi couldn't help being a little surprised: "This thing can do this kind of thing?"

"Only I can do it. After all, his access rights are limited to me alone, and the feeling of spiritual connection is not very good. There is a sense of déjà vu after playing computer games all night and then going to class."

"It will cause a burden on the brain, that's right, after all, this behavior is no different from directly reading your thoughts in your brain, it's better to say that you are very lucky that your brain has no problems now—Tiger, don't use this kind of usage often in the future , although it is only speculation, but if you use it frequently, you may develop Alzheimer's disease in advance."

"Yes."

He verbally agreed, but actually Xia Chuanhu had no intention of using it.According to his thinking, if he can complete the puppetization of the enactment device step by step, then the spiritual link must be maintained almost all day long.

(The exercise of mental power should also be put on the agenda... It should be enough to go to Mei Li directly.)

If it is the succulent succubus who is extremely good at illusions and dreams, he should have a lot of experience in how to exercise mental power.

"Then let's leave this homework as it is. It's almost time, who will do today's lunch?"

"It should be me, but I have something to do next, so I can only trouble the teacher to do it yourself."

Something?

Cang Qi Chengzi was suddenly a little surprised: "You actually have something to do? It's strange."

"Does it surprise you that I have my own affairs to attend to?"

"Of course, after all, young man, you have always given people the impression that you don't have much personal affairs. Besides, Gray is always with you, don't you have almost no private time?" Aozaki Chengzi said with a smile, "Speaking of which, what happened today? Didn't see Grey? Sleeping late?"

"Didn't you say you want to have lunch? Gray went to the supermarket to buy groceries, and she should already be on her way back after some calculation."

Glancing at the clock on the wall, Xia Chuanhu turned and walked towards the door: "Then I'll go first too. Teacher, remember to tell Grey that you don't need to buy vegetables at night, and I will bring them back."

"OK. Ah yes, I'll buy wine when I get back, and I've run out of the ones at home."

The alcoholic!

--------------------------

Ogawa Apartment.

Riding a motorcycle, he stopped at the door of this apartment, took off his helmet, and took out all the information he had collected in the past three months from his backpack.

As Aozaki Chengzi said, he does have almost no personal time, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have any at all. He only needs to compress his sleeping time a little, and the time available for personal actions will naturally be squeezed out.

Time is like a sponge, there will always be squeezes.

And in these three months, Xia Chuanhu also investigated a lot of things, such as the death of Zonglian Araya near Liangyi's house two years ago.And the reason why he came to Ogawa's apartment this time was also related to that incident.

Two years ago, shortly after Araya Zonglian's body was discovered, Liangyi confirmed that she had entered a state of missing persons. There was no news for the past two years. Even the Liangyi family didn't know where she was. What I witnessed was that I walked into a certain alley, and since then disappeared from the world.

However, a month ago, someone said that a person similar to the two rituals was seen entering and leaving the apartment near Ogawa's apartment.

Although it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of this information, since this information will spread, it means that there are indeed people living in Ogawa's apartment who will cause such rumors to appear.

"Mune Ren Araya died two years ago... In this way, the interior of Ogawa's apartment shouldn't have turned into that kind of hell, right?"

In the original work, because of Araya Soren's experiments, all the residents in Ogawa's apartment have turned into dolls, repeating the cycle of life and death countless times, and the internal environment can be called an alien hell.But this time, Araya Soren died two years ago.

"Forget it, come here, let's go in and have a look."

17. Illegal intrusion into the boudoir of Liangyi's family

The internal structure of Ogawa’s apartment was designed somewhat complicated because Araya Soren had a different plan at the beginning, with spirals, yin and yang, illusions... a lot of magic knowledge was applied in the design, even if it is a first-class It will take some time for a magician to figure out the situation here, and ordinary residents who don't understand magic will also have the idea of ​​"this building is really complicated".

The first and second floors were originally set up as entertainment areas, so it is a very empty lobby. It is divided into two parts by elevators, including the entire apartment. The east and west sides except the first and second floors, want to move The only way to get to the other side is by elevator.

The moment I walked into the apartment, the feeling of falling into the sea instantly spread all over my body.

Xia Chuanhu couldn't help but frowned: "Barrier? Zonglian Huangye has died a long time ago. According to the collected information, this place is also functioning well as a general residential building. Logically speaking, there should be no barrier. Yes Is it built into the building itself? Or is this huge heritage being exploited by someone?"

"Neither of them."

Unexpectedly, it seemed that in response to Xia Chuanhu's soliloquies, someone answered from the side of the elevator.

Putting his hands in his pockets, wearing his iconic red jacket and blue kimono, Ryoichi leaned against the wall and looked at Xia Chuanhu with a smile on his face: "I thought who was here, it turned out to be you, what's up?"

"That's the question I want to ask."

Xia Chuanhu couldn't help being a little surprised: "The next head of the Liangyi family, who disappeared two years ago, why did he appear here?"

"Because I live here." Liang Yi replied with a face of course, "People must have a place to live, otherwise what is the difference with wild dogs? Plus there is no money here, so I will live here. "

"Why don't you go back to Liangyi's house?"

"It's just that I don't want to go back. However, if I ask this kind of question, can I think that you were hired by those people in the family to find me?"

Shaking his head bluntly, and spreading his hands together, Xia Chuanhu smiled and said: "No. I just want to know something, so I did some research on what happened in this city in the past two years, and found that there is something wrong here. So here we go. To be honest, meeting you was beyond my expectations."
