The raging fire illuminated the night orange. Amidst the crackling sound, the church turned into a sea of flames. The flames outside the window curled up, sending scorching heat waves.
"Father! Father!" Karen cried and was about to rush into the rolling fire, but was picked up by Joan of Arc, and the girl was kicking in the air with her little feet.
The firelight reflected on Jeanne d'Arc's face, casting a layer of orange glow. She recalled the priest's request.
"Please give shelter to that poor child." The priest prayed like a lone traveler in the dark night seeing the light.
The body of a tortured psychic has a physique that causes psychic barriers whenever a monster comes near. The body reacts with great rejection, so it can be used as a detector for demons. At the same time, its physique is extremely attractive and lethal to demons, but its method of elimination is unacceptable to any woman. That is to accept the brutal invasion of the devil, and in the process of intercourse with it, the devil will be purified and the effect of elimination will be achieved.
It would be fine if I could control this kind of physique and adjust it freely, but this is too difficult for a young girl. Therefore, it can be said to be a moving disaster in itself. Because she will attract hordes of demons.
After understanding the whole story, Joan of Arc just nodded solemnly, "I will take good care of that child until she can completely control her body." The saint's words reached the priest's ears like the sound of nature. There is nothing that makes people feel happier than the redemption of a beautiful and innocent life. The priest's deep-set, rigid face trembled with excitement.
"However, I don't know if the fluctuations in the awakening of the stigmata have attracted the attention of anyone who is interested." The priest looked worried. Kallen's physique is a rare weapon for the Holy Church. Whether it is used for detection or demon elimination, it is first-rate.
"Don't worry, there is no human scent nearby." Joan of Arc's powerful sense of perception made this assurance.
"No." The priest shook his head: "You don't have to be nearby to detect it. There are special items or corresponding physiques, and certain religious rituals can also detect it."
The priest looked back at the church where he had stayed for more than ten years and remained silent. Ever since he sent the executioner who killed his wife and daughter to hell more than ten years ago, he has been living here alone as a Qing monk. Until the baby girl appeared, he seemed to see the shadow of his daughter in her, and he adopted her as if he had obtained some kind of salvation.
"Karen and I both died in this demonic attack tonight. This is the safest way," the priest said.
Then the priest took out the pine oil from the underground warehouse, burned the church to the ground, and disappeared into the night. Although there is no body, the devil's actions are not something ordinary people can speculate on, and the incident will probably end in nothing.
The sky has turned white, the flames are still burning weakly, and green smoke rises from the charred ruins. The long-lasting church has finally ushered in its end.
Kallen was tired of crying and fell asleep. Jeanne carried her towards a small town not far away, and Sakura followed behind without saying a word.
Aozora: I didn’t expect you to meet Kallen.
Ye You highly agreed with Joan of Arc's approach, but with these two little guys with demonic blood, the journey ahead was destined to be uneventful.
Joan of Arc: Sorry, Master, I made my own decision.
Aozora: Why do you apologize? You did a good job.
Hearing Ye You's praise, a sincere smile appeared on Jeanne's face.
Aozora: It’s just that we need to teach them magic as soon as possible.
But the magic of the Xingyue world can be said to be a 'accumulation of knowledge'. Through the inheritance of the 'Magic Seal' from generation to generation, magicians of all generations will engrave their lifelong efforts on the Magic Seal and pass it on continuously. The older the magic sigil, the higher its value.
However, the magic seal can only be passed down to one person. For this reason, Tokiomi adopted Sakura into the Matou family.
And those who have not received the magic seal have to start all their magic knowledge from scratch. How can they compare to the successors who have stood on the shoulders of giants from the beginning? This is equivalent to using one person's wisdom against the crystallization of an inheritance. From the very beginning, he was far behind others. Even if his qualifications were high, he could not compete with the same magic system that generations or dozens of generations of magicians had painstakingly studied. Moreover, once a magic path has been established, it is quite difficult to change the system in the future.
Therefore, Ye Youcai never let Sakura learn the magic of Xingyue World. Of course, there is another more important factor, which is the lack of good mentors.
Patchouli has the other magical powers of Qiyao, Qiyao, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, and moon. If she were to teach Tohsaka Rin, who had full attribute qualifications, she would definitely be more suitable than Gem Man, but if it was Tohsaka Sakura who had an overhead element, she couldn't be said to be the best.
I had Joan of Arc's protection before, so there was no rush. But now that a little girl has been added to the mix, or a moving natural disaster, the necessary means of self-protection must be acquired as soon as possible.
After much thought, it seems that only rune magic is the most suitable. At the very least, rune magic has the widest range of application. It seems that its shadow can be found in most sword and magic dimensions. Moreover, he and Patchouli also have relevant knowledge and can provide guidance. It is much better than letting a little girl realize profound knowledge on her own.
So, Ye You discussed with Patchouli.
Patchouli: I suspect there is something wrong with you.
Patchouli: Rune magic? Is that something ordinary people can master? Even though I have studied it for several years, I dare not say that I have penetrated its secrets. And under normal circumstances, no magician will use runes, because with the same amount of magic, using other systems of magic can achieve stronger, or even several times, the effects.
When Patchouli came up, she slapped her head and face. So, we are really fish-lipped humans. The origin of rune cannot be studied. All we know is that Odin discovered it, mastered it, and became the king of the gods.
Patchouli felt that Ye You was a little exaggerated. Although the man-made magic circuit was indeed something worthy of praise, the mysteries of magic were endless. One should be cautious in words and deeds and always maintain a humble attitude.
Aozora: Huh? Is rune magic difficult to cast
Ye You blinked in confusion.
Patchouli: It's not difficult. Even ordinary people without magic power can have certain effects as long as they accurately carve the runes on the wooden board. But that can only be considered to the extent that "soothing incense has the function of calming the mind and calming the energy". In a certain way, it can also be said that like some people praying for peace and blessing, the effect of the inner suggestion is greater than the actual effect.
Patchouli: But it is another matter to actually inject magic power into the runes and cause miracles. Even magicians with considerable achievements cannot say that they are 100% successful, let alone these two little girls who are less than four or five years old.
Eh? is that so
Ye You suspiciously carved a few mysterious traces in the void, the air trembled and the light shone.
Forget it, let’s not hit her anymore.
Ye You silently withdrew his gesture. After all, Sakura and Kallen can only rely on Patchouli for magic guidance.
