The two of them were in a corner of the hall, as if they were still in the Tono Mansion, talking about all kinds of small things, the troubles in their studies, the exam questions given by the teacher, and how to allocate their free time tomorrow.

  ....

  Another half an hour passed. Seeing that Qiuye seemed to have completely lost the freshness of this place, Xia You began to think about returning, but at this time, Tono Shinji suddenly beckoned to him in the distance.

  After thinking about it, he still took Qiuye and walked over together.

  Maybe he sensed the boredom of the two brothers and sisters, or maybe he was going to help the eldest son build a network of contacts. After Tono Shinhisa recruited them, he walked to the other side of the hall and said as he walked:

  "Xia You, there is an elder sister who is not a few years older than you. You can take Qiuye to talk to her."

  elder sister?

  Xia You hesitated for a moment, and was just about to refuse, but Tono Shinji didn't look back at all after finishing speaking, just walked forward on his own.

  In desperation, he had to pull Qiuye and follow behind.

  The three separated from the crowd and came to a corner of the hall. Xia You had no interest in the Yuan Ye family's connections at all, and was thinking about how to get out.

  However, there was a warm greeting from Shinji Tono:

  "Good evening, the eldest lady of the Kuonji family..."

  Kuonji Temple?

  He raised his head suddenly.

  In the front of the field of vision, on the remote sofa leaning against the wall, a beautiful girl in a long black dress was slowly closing the book in her hand and stood up.

  "Good evening, Mr. Tono."

  There was a polite smile on the girl's calm and pretty face, just like a classical lady in the Middle Ages, her every move and her posture were extremely elegant, but she showed an indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away.

Chapter 18 Turmoil and the Witch

  Tono Shinhisa seemed to be talking to her, but Xia You didn't listen at all, just silently looking at the black dress girl in front of her.

  He was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with short shoulder-length hair without a hint of variegation, reminiscent of pure black like viscous ink.

  She was slender and petite, as if she had never been exposed to the sun, and her skin was so white it would be worrying.

  The delicate facial features are as neat as a carved doll, and the long skirt is deep black except for a circle of white patterns on the neckline and skirt.

  Dressed in a low-key and simple manner without any accessories, with an almost emotionless posture, her eyes exuding icy colors are easily reminiscent of a strict nun, with a stubborn and old-fashioned connotation.

  But this still does not detract from the beauty of the girl.

  She just stood there quietly, like a beautiful landscape painting, dividing all the "five, eight, seven" around people and things.

  Is it actually a pearl in Kuonji?

  So amazed in her heart, Xia You also quickly recalled the information about Jiuyuanji Youzhu.

  The eldest lady of the Kuonji family of the island nation's chaebol group inherited her mother's bloodline of witches and several ambassadors from her mother. In the magic world, she is called "the witch who makes fairy tales". She has an indifferent personality and likes quietness.

  What kind of banquet would such a big house girl actually come to attend?

  Xia You's mind was stunned.

  And he was a little confused about Tono Shinhisa's intention to come over to say hello.

  If you want to get married... that's simply impossible!

  The Tono family, who has blood from outside the family, has always been in the main family and the family is digested internally. In order to hide the identity of the outsider, the Tono family can never marry other families.

  It can be known from memory that in order to prevent children from being ignorant of the importance, they will use the power of blood indiscriminately, resulting in an early reversal impulse. The children of the Tono family in all dynasties will be locked in this house from birth.

  It was not until they became sensible that they gradually let them contact outsiders.

  This is also the reason why Tono Shinhisa didn't consider taking Akiba to the dinner party before - after all, she is only six years old this year.

  A few minutes later, Shinhisa Tono introduced Xia You and Akiba who were behind him to Yuju of Kuonji, and asked again seemingly casually:

  "By the way, it seems that many foreigners are interested in Misaki City recently, and even a group of new priests have appeared in the church..."

  "Don't worry, Mr. Tono, there have been more tourists recently, and it will be fine after a while."

  Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu looked calm, shook his head lightly, and replied in a meaningful way.

  "Really!" Tono Shinhisa's face was even brighter, and after a few more greetings, he nodded slightly to Xia You and Qiuye, and walked to other places.

  Xia You, who came back to his senses, finally realized something in his heart after listening to the conversation between the two.

  It seemed that it was because of some turmoil in the inner world, especially the fact that the church suddenly dispatched more people to Misaki City recently, which touched the nerves of the Tono clan with extra-human blood and made them a little uneasy.

  So Tono Shinhisa will hold this birthday dinner, and specially invited this big house girl——

  Jiuyuanji has the blood of a witch, and she is also a heretic in the eyes of the church, but she is close to the Aozaki family and has better information.

  Thinking about the original book carefully, it is the end of 1988, so there is only one reason for the turmoil in Misaki City... There is only one!

  The old magician of the Aozaki family is dead!

  One of the few remaining magicians in the world died, and when they suddenly heard the news, the Clock Tower, and even the Dead Apostles, would definitely come to Misaki City to inquire about the real situation, and by the way, to see if there was any advantage.

  The legacy of a magician, but very exciting!

  The Holy Church, which claims to be the spokesperson of God, although not interested in the legacy of the magician, has to send more people to suppress these heresies.

  The organized clock tower magicians and the representatives of the Church of the Holy Church are probably afraid, but those dead disciples who travel alone, as the church's mortal enemies, they will never let go.

  Perhaps it was also because of the turbulent and complicated situation in Misaki City during this period of time that Shinji Tono was able to fish in troubled waters, and when he found an opportunity, he brazenly took action and wiped out the Qiye clan who had returned to the mountains and forests.

  Xia You only felt funny about the sword, light and sword shadow that might appear in Misaki City.

  The old magician of the Aozaki family, although his body was wiped out by a knife, he still survives in the form of a spirit body.

  After thinking about this situation, the high-level executives of the Clock Tower and the Twenty-Seven Ancestors will definitely be disappointed.

  In the end, only some wandering magicians were introduced as chess pieces to symbolically compete for the ownership of the spiritual veins in Misaki City, in order to test the bottom line of the old magician who became a spiritual body.

  But these things outside have nothing to do with Xia You. His current priority is to inherit the knowledge of the mysterious side of the Tono family...  

  After Tono Shinhisa left, Kuonji Yuju sat on the sofa again, and stared at the two of them for a while with dark eyes as deep as the night sky.

  Then he patted the seat next to him lightly, signaling the two to sit over.

  Xia You hesitated for a moment, then nodded and pulled Qiu Ye to sit down.

  "Hello." Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu smiled slightly at the two of them, her calm and indifferent expression slightly soothing.

  Although Tono Shinhisa brought her children over to introduce them, it was probably just an excuse to communicate, but she was a little curious about these two siblings, and she wouldn't be stingy with her smile.

  As the heir of the Great Witch, and befriending the Aozaki family, Yuju Kuonji once sorted out the context of the mysterious side of Misaki City, and of course she knows the situation of the Tono family very well.

  The people outside the family, who have always been indifferent to their internal relations, actually have two brothers and sisters who love each other. The witch of the fairy tale finds it very interesting.

  Of course, the more important thing is that the Tono family is full of blood.

  Jiuyuanji Yuzhu doesn't like human beings very much. As for outsiders, if she can communicate peacefully, she will not be prejudiced.

  Perhaps feeling her kindness, Qiuye leaned out from Xia You's side, her black hair slanted on her shoulders, and showed a shy smile:

  "How are you, sister!"

  The two girls started talking.

  Akiba was very fond of this "sister" who was as delicate as a doll in front of her. After chatting a few words, she was always close to Xia You's body and slowly began to approach there. 5.1

  The feeling of being a little afraid of strangers at first has also become relaxed.

  "Is my sister studying?"

  After the two sat close, they caught a glimpse of the book on Yuju's knee in Jiuyuanji. Akiba asked, and looked at him curiously.

  A thick book with a big head almost covered the girl's knees. There was no book title on the purple hard cover. Instead, it was engraved with mysterious patterns, which looked extremely magnificent.

  Although Qiuye was curious, her good education prevented her from being as fussy as ordinary children. Jiuyuanji Yuzhu felt a lot more in her heart, so she took the initiative to hand over the book and explained softly:

  "It's just a fairy tale book. It records a lot of popular ballads. If you like it, I can give it to you."

Chapter 19 Guess

  "Give it to me?"

  Akiba, who was flipping through the book, was slightly startled, raised his head, and glanced at Jiuyuanji Yuzhu.

  When noticing the sincerity in her eyes, Akiba stood up and thanked politely and happily:

  "Thank you, Sister Youzhu!"

  This is the first time she has received a gift from an outsider. The little girl's heart is full of joy and warmth, just like the feeling when her brother wrapped a scarf around her neck a month ago.

  "But..." After a while, Akiba showed a slightly distressed expression: "Sister Youzhu, I don't understand the words in this book!"

  Xia You, who was on the side, also glanced down. The pages that were opened were of fine quality, with lines of neatly printed English on them.

  It seems that it is really an ordinary fairy tale book, otherwise Jiuyuan Temple will not give it out easily.

  However, the purple cover was made noble and exquisite, and it was full of mysterious engravings, which made him complain slightly in his heart——

  If you have to turn a fairy tale into a magic book, is this an improvement...

  "Ah, by the way, brother was studying English the year before last, right?" After a while of distress, Qiuye suddenly closed the book and turned to look at Xia You, with hope in his eyes: "Can you read to me, brother? 22 "

  "Okay, I'll read it to you later." Xia You nodded in agreement, raised her hand skillfully, and touched Qiuye's black hair with a smile.

  The little girl suddenly looked like a cat, squinting her eyes softly, her pink mouth slightly curled up, and a look of attachment.

  Youzhu of Jiuyuan Temple on the side watched the interaction between the two silently, and suddenly thought of the roommate and apprentice who moved in a few days ago, inexplicably a little angry...

  Obviously, the stern witch and Aozaki Aoko, who is more casual, free and easy in character, advocating freedom, will definitely not be very compatible when they first meet.

  Next, the chat between the two girls continued, Xia You just listened quietly, seldom interjected, and tried her best not to attract the attention of others.

  In fact, if it was unnecessary, he really didn't want to interact with Kuonji Yuju, at least until the end of the Holy Grail War.

  Although this girl is so beautiful that it is tempting, but she and Aozaki Aoko are too close, and the two live together now, and they are roommates.

  Everything that happened in the magic night game was too accidental, and Xia You had to wonder if the inhibitory force had been paying attention to Aozaki Aoko.
