Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

"Although I don't know why the rich lady and the nun sleep in the park at night, but this park is not a good place. There are vampires in this park. I have reminded you, you don't blame me if you die."

After saying this, the homeless man shook his head and left.

"vampire?"

Li Xiang, who heard these words, looked at the park carefully, and tilted his head in confusion.

"No?"

"Senior, did you mean...?"

"Vampires—that is, the existence that is usually called the Dead Apostles. The [traces] of their activities are actually very conspicuous? Although it is impossible to lock the individual, it is still very simple to determine whether there are Dead Apostles in an area if you master the method."

With that said, Lixiang took out a large pile of black keys.

"There are no traces of that in this park... Well, just in case, I'll set up a barrier first. Little Eggplant, please go and set up a tent."

"Ah."

So Matthew went to set up the tent, and Da Vinci Ameng took out new magical props at this time.And Lixiang used the black key to set a trigger barrier around the park for the Dead Apostles, and carefully inspected the park while setting the barrier.

As far as the theory of consequences is concerned, there are still no traces of the Dead Apostles.Either those dead apostles grew out of thin air, or there weren't any vampires in this park.

After setting up both sides, the two girls retreated into the tent with only one roof.Then, Lixiang suddenly said: "Then, it's time to tell the story."

"Eh?"

"After all, Little Eggplant is very concerned, right? It's not just Little Eggplant—"

Lixiang looked at the personal terminal aside,

"Everyone in Chaldea should also be quite concerned about it?"

There was no reply from the personal terminal, but Matthew nodded slightly after hesitating for a while.

"Hmm... Senior... Miss Li Jiang who appeared suddenly said that Senior killed all the people in a city, so what happened to... fell to the ground?"

"...Although I don't think it's my fault anymore, it's still hard for me to mention it again."

Li Xiang couldn't help showing a wry smile,

"Once upon a time there was a Dead Apostle who had the ability to use fake spell bodies to create real spell bodies on a large scale in a form similar to [infection]... Well, I don't know what the real body of that ability is. , anyway, the form of expression is like this. But that guy has already been chopped off by me, so it doesn't matter what the real body of the ability is."

Joan of Arc of Chaldea also showed a worried expression at this time.

She knew the story, Lixiang had told her it when she was in France.

"In short, when that guy was doing things, I failed to stop him for one reason or another. His ability eventually spread to the entire city, and everyone in the city except me and senior Xier was affected by the ability, and became I became an undead soldier who couldn't recover and had no will. So... well, it's not wrong to say that I killed almost everyone in that city."

"...It's clearly not the senior's fault."

[I agree with this.Moreover, according to your description, those residents should have died when they became undead soldiers... But, why haven't I heard of such a city? ]

"Oh, that. After all, people are all dead, for concealment. Although I don't know how to do it, anyway, the church tried to erase the whole city. I didn't even keep the name, so I didn't hear much about it. It's nothing strange."

Speaking of this, Lixiang suddenly thought that there was one more thing he hadn't said, and changed the subject.

"However, you may have heard of the name of that bastard dead man, after all, he is quite famous in a certain sense."

"...a famous dead disciple?"

[what is it call? ]

"Long Perstilchin."

"...Huh? Who is that?"

[I seem to have heard of it somewhere...]

"Well, it seems that guy is unexpectedly not very famous. Fairy tales, fairy tales—fairy tales about [golden threads] spun from [straw]. Does that make you feel a little bit impressed?"

■London, the streets after the pedestrians cleared

"Really. It's only been a few days? So many things have happened."

On a street where there are no residents, a law enforcement officer who patrolled the street tonight said,

"An accident happened when I was at work? I really envy those who are on vacation today."

"Anyway, there are bonuses, two gold coins, so don't complain."

Another law enforcer said this, and after saying this, he suddenly froze for a moment.

"...Just now, did something go by?"

The first enforcer looked around quickly, and subconsciously hugged himself with chills all over his body.

"Don't scare me, how can there be anyone here?"

"But I really feel like someone has passed by?"

They didn't notice, or couldn't notice, that a figure in a nun's attire walked past them just now.

Hearing the argument between the two, the nun subconsciously looked back.

"...As expected, I'm not good at such things as [delicate use of magic]."

Talking to herself, she then stopped at the most damaged part of the street.

"The traces of the black key... Well, this is the child's swordsmanship. It seems that it has come, that child. It seems to be very active, which is great."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of the mysterious nun's mouth.

"It's been almost two years since I saw you, Lixiang."

6. Plans Can’t Keep Up With Changes

In a room illuminated by dim yellow lights, a long-haired man was lying on the table writing a book.He obviously didn't frown, but his brows were covered with deep wrinkles.

Next to him, there is a [1888] something that should not have been invented in this era.

【radio】

But here is not simply [London in 1888] but [Singularity]. It seems that there is no big surprise when a radio appears now.

[Next is the late-night rumor radio station~.An incredible thing happened again in London tonight. The phenomenon of [Shadow Time] reappeared...]

Accompanied by the sound of the wooden door being pushed open, a person with a gray cloak covering his whole body, who seemed to be a girl, walked in with a cup.

"Master, I made coffee for you."

"Thank you, ma'am. Just put it over there, I need this right now."

As he spoke, the man looked up at the sky outside the window.

"It's getting late, ma'am, it's best for you to go and have a rest right now."

"Master, aren't you going to rest?"

"There are still some files, I have to deal with them..."

Speaking of this, the man suddenly stopped.

"Well, it seems that I'd better take a rest."

"master?"

"Military division Kong Ming told me that they have come—travelers from Chaldea."

"So, fairy tale time!"

Lixiang said this in a cheerful tone, and Matthew cheered cooperatively—although she didn't figure it out for a while, she was obviously talking about why the dead disciples wanted to tell fairy tales at this time.

"Let me think about how to start... Well, let's be more domineering here. A long, long time ago—"

□Fairy Tale Investigation·"The Dwarf Demon"

Long, long ago, there lived a miller in a certain country.He had a very beautiful and clever daughter, and the Miller was always boasting about her in all kinds of exaggerated ways.

One day the exaggerated rumors of the miller's daughter reached the ears of the king, and the miller was called to the palace by that king.But what people didn't expect was that the miller dared to brag in front of the king-he said that his daughter had the ability to weave straw into gold thread.

As soon as the king listened to music, is there such a strange person in the world?He immediately summoned the girl to the palace, and led him into a room full of straw.

"I will give you the best spinning wheel," said the King, "and if you don't spin all this straw into golden thread by tomorrow morning, I will kill you."

The girl is in a hurry, how could she do this?But the king ignored her, closed the door and left.

Faced with her unfortunate fate, the girl burst into tears.This cry attracted a little dwarf who was limping, and after hearing what happened to her, the little dwarf said to her: "I can help you spin these straws into golden threads, but how will you repay me?"

"I give you my beautiful pearl necklace."

The dwarf agreed to the deal, and spun the straw with the spinning wheel.In a short while, the house full of straw turned into a house full of gold thread, and the little man disappeared with the girl's pearl necklace.

When the king entered the room, he immediately became happy.Unexpectedly, there is actually the ability to spin straw into gold thread in this world.

So he dragged the girl into another, bigger room, and locked her in as soon as the door was closed.

"If the straw doesn't turn to gold tomorrow morning, I'll kill you."

The king left after saying this, leaving only the girl crying.Then the little dwarf reappeared, and asked again the same question he had asked the girl before.

"If I help you, how will you repay me?"

"I give you this diamond ring."

The dwarf agreed to the request, and once again helped the girl weave the straw into gold thread.But I didn't expect that the king didn't stop, and locked the girl into a bigger straw warehouse.

However, this time he didn't say he wanted to kill the girl again.

"If you spin all this straw into gold tonight, then I will make you my queen."

But how could this woman have this ability, the little dwarf spun for her the first two times.Fortunately, the little dwarf appeared again this third time, and asked that question again.

"If I help you, how will you repay me?"

"I have nothing left to give you."

The woman said in frustration, and the little man made a proposal.

"When you become queen, give me your first child."

The woman agreed to the deal, and the dwarf spun the straw into gold thread for the woman again.And after seeing this house of gold thread, he didn't come again, but really married the woman as a queen.

The queen's first child was born, and by then the queen had forgotten the deal she had promised.

But the little man did not forget this.Just like the previous three times, the dwarf suddenly appeared in the queen's room one day and asked the queen to give him the child.The queen felt that she was so unfortunate, why should the newborn child be given to someone else?

"I will exchange all the gold and silver treasures of the kingdom, please leave my child behind."

The little dwarf didn't agree, after all the contract wanted a child.Then the queen, who felt that she was really unfortunate, cried loudly.

"Okay, okay." Seeing this, the little dwarf said, "I'll give you three days, if you can say my name, then you can keep the child."

On the first day, the Queen told the little man all the normal names in the country, but the little man just said, "That's not my name."

The next day the queen told the little boy all the strange names in the country, but the little boy just said, "That's not my name."

Then, the time came to the third day.Before the dwarf came, an envoy from the queen returned.

"The messenger said that he saw a dwarf on the mountain. He danced and sang around the bonfire: The queen racked her brains and couldn't tell for sure. My name is Long Perstilchin!"

Although the story obviously has a follow-up, Lixiang stopped here.And Matthew and everyone in Chaldea also understood why Lixiang would say that the dead disciple [is still famous].

"Yes, that guy is himself in the fairy tale."

[However, according to the description of this story, Long Perstilqin should be a [fairy], right? ]

"Well, it's a fairy. That guy is a rare species, [Fairy's Half-Dead Apostle]—— Well, it's fine for a dead apostle who has been purified. Anyway, in order to adjust the time difference, let's take a nap now .”

Saying so, Li Xiang got into the only bed in the tent.But of course she didn't intend to occupy the bed by herself, rather, only the scum could do that kind of thing.

"Ex, senior? Could it be—"

"Huh? What's the matter? Didn't we sleep like this every night when there was no magic supply in my room?"

With that said, Lixiang lifted the blanket.

"Why are you in a daze? Come in quickly. I've already changed into pajamas, maybe I'll catch a cold if I stay outside all the time?"
