After that, Luo Zhen and his party took a luxury car that seemed to have been specially arranged that month and returned to their high-end apartment in the west area of the artificial island.
Along the way, Nagisa and Agurola also asked Luo Zhen how they planned to solve the problem of Astaruti's lifespan.
This question is actually difficult to say.
"If it is a more orthodox method, it must use magic and spells as the main means, supplemented by technologies such as cultivation tanks and adjustment equipment to adjust the body of the artificial life form and slowly replenish its missing vitality. Come back and that will be fine.”
This is a relatively standard approach.
The advantage is that it can definitely make Astaludi get better.
The disadvantage is that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and quite troublesome.
"Of course, there are also more evil ways."
Luo Zhen also expressed this.
"As long as you absorb the required vitality from other individuals, you can also replenish your lifespan."
As far as Luo Zhen knows, many magicians and conjurers have used this evil method to obtain a long life.
There are even many people like Ashiya Michimi who gave up their identity as human beings and transformed themselves into unknown beings in order to gain near-permanent life.
Therefore, there are many ways to extend the life of an individual, but almost all of them are not good ways.
Luo Zhen was prepared to use a not very good method.
"I can provide my life force to Astaruti, and her problem will be solved."
Luo Zhen had such a plan.
Of course, this was strongly opposed by Nagisa and Agurola.
"How...how can this be done? Wouldn't Yaojun be in danger...!?"
"I...I think it's really inappropriate to do this! And it's also unreasonable!"
Nagisa and Agurola objected excitedly one after another.
This made Luo Zhen smile bitterly and explain quickly.
"Don't worry, I'm not great enough to dedicate my life to the person I met for the first time. It's just that I'm different from other people. There is a monster with infinite vitality in my body. As long as I use its vitality, everything will be safe."
exactly.
Just like his beloved beast raised in the blood, Luo Zhen can use the seal in his body to directly pay for his vitality. In the same way, Luo Zhen can also directly connect a channel with Astaruti. Through this channel, Astaruti will be able to absorb the life force from the seal in Luo Zhen's body. Not only will she be able to make up for the missing life span, but she will also be able to continue to use the artificial beast that lives with her.
It's not that difficult.
There have been records of observing the Holy Grail War in parallel worlds in Chaldea. Many of them used this method to connect the paths with other external individuals, and the magic power consumed by them was reduced. Let someone other than the Master pay.
Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System is built on the same theory as it is able to pay the master the magic power required for contracted servants.
Drawing on that theory and method, Luo Zhen could use the same method to connect the familiars he summoned and the familiar beasts he raised with the seals in his body, so that the seals could pay for magic power and vitality.
However, there is nothing you can do when using magic and spells. The magic power consumed needs to be paid by yourself, and there is no way to establish a path with the seal in the body. Otherwise, Luo Zhen does not need to unlock the seal at all, and can directly use the magic power of the seal. alright.
As for Astaruti, Luo Zhen can establish a connection with her in a way similar to a contract, and then establish a channel to allow Astaruti to absorb the vitality sealed in her body.
Naturally, this is also equivalent to holding Astaruti's lifeline in his hands. As long as Luo really wants to, he can stop Astaruti's vital signs at any time.
Therefore, if you do not entrust your life to Luo Zhen's enlightenment, it is better not to use this method.
"Anyway, I will wait and see Sister Yue first. After she has finished protecting Astaruti, I will ask the child personally and see what she says. You don't have to worry."
Luo Zhen said this, making the two girls finally feel at ease.
As a result, the group of people returned home smoothly.
However, after sending Nagisa and Agulola home, Luo Zhen came out again.
The destination is the apartment below his room.
As soon as Luo Zhen came here, the door was opened.
"May I ask if you have anything to do with me, Senior?"
Xuecai, who had also just returned home, kept opening the door and looked at Luo Zhen doubtfully.
It seemed that Xuecai, who used shikigami to monitor Luo Zhen's every move, had long noticed that Luo Zhen was heading towards her home, so she immediately opened the door.
"I just came to take a look."
Luo Zhen was perfunctory and went directly into Xuecai's home regardless of Xuecai's surprise.
"Wait, senior...!"
Xuecai didn't seem to expect that Luo Zhen would break into her home directly. When she realized what she was doing, Luo Zhen was already in the living room.
“It’s emptier than I thought.”
Luo Zhen, who was standing in the living room, looked around with helplessness on his face.
I saw that the surrounding area was empty, with not even a piece of furniture. It didn't look like a place where someone lived, but more like a rental room waiting to be transferred.
"It seems that I have to help you buy furniture next time."
Luo Zhen said so.
"No, no need. I will focus on the shikigami even at home. I don't need to watch TV or sit on the sofa. I just need an open space for me to meditate."
Xuecai shook her head and spoke like this.
"Aren't you afraid that when your classmates or friends come to your house to play, you will have nothing to entertain them?"
Luo Zhen asked, rolling his eyes.
"I don't have that kind of reservation, and I also won't play with my classmates and friends without taking the trouble."
Xuecai's answer was quite surprising.
Luo Zhen then turned around and looked at Xuecai.
"Senior?"
Being stared closely at by Luo Zhen, Xuecai felt a little uncomfortable and called out as if she was at a loss.
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Zhen didn't mince words and asked directly: "During the time when you came back from school, you didn't say a word and kept silent. Do you think I didn't notice it?"
Hearing this, Xuecai was speechless.
Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen continued to speak.
"Is it because of what happened to Astaruti that you became like this?"
Luo Zhen said this in an affirmative tone.
If you think about it carefully, you will know that after Luo Zhen revealed what happened to Astaludi, Yukina's impression changed. Not only did she become taciturn, but she also became a favorite of Astaludi. When he went berserk, he rushed out without hesitation and used the "Seven-style Assault Demon-Suppressing Machine Gun" named "Snow Cloud Wolf" to disperse his rampaging beasts and rescue Astaruti.
This shows that Yukina also empathizes with what happened to Astaruti.
That's right.
It's exactly the same feeling.
"Because you are also a disposable prop specially trained by the Lion King Agency, right?"
Luo Zhen's blunt words made Xuecai bite her lip.
Obviously, Luo Zhen was right.
