"—!"
At this moment, everyone present seemed to feel a chill and could not help but tremble in their hearts.
The source of the chill was Luo Zhen who became silent and the expression on his face completely disappeared.
"Lord Luo Zhen!"
"Luo Zhen!"
"Luo Zhen!"
Yi Luli, Ye Ye, and Xiao Zi shouted out and seemed to want to get closer, but they were stopped by Luo Zhen's raised hand.
Luo Zhen just let go of the hand holding the holy spear and stared at Astrid expressionlessly.
However, Luo Zhen's performance actually made Astrid feel a glimmer of hope.
because...
"You've been looking for it, right? The truth behind the annihilation of the Akabane clan!"
Astrid spoke quickly.
"I know the truth about the annihilation of the Akabane clan, as long as you don't kill me!"
The implication is that Astrid is prepared to use this information as a condition to negotiate with Luo Zhen.
But Astrid guessed one thing wrong.
"Indeed, I have been looking for the truth about the annihilation of the Akabane clan." Luo Zhen said lightly: "But how do you know that I don't know the truth yet?"
"This..." Astrid was startled for a moment, then murmured: "Do you still think that it was Akabane Tianquan who destroyed the Akabane clan?"
of course not.
Luo Zhen had known for a long time that Chi Yu Tianquan could not be the real murderer of the family.
"Although that guy is ready to take all the blame on himself, he doesn't want to think about it. Now I am no longer a little kid who doesn't know anything."
Luo Zhen's tone was extremely indifferent.
"In the past, in the ruins of the Akabane family, he told me that the reason why he destroyed the family was to use the "blood of red wings" to create the skill on the forbidden doll, which is the divine skill."
But now, Luo Zhen knows very well that that is impossible.
"If it were possible to create divine ingenuity with the blood of Red Wings, then I am afraid that divine ingenuity would have come out long ago."
Although is very special, in this world, there are individuals and bloodlines that are more special than . If can bring about divine ingenuity, then others He must have researched the divine ingenuity a long time ago and would not be pursuing it now.
Divine ingenuity is a puppet made to imitate God, or it can be said to be God himself. How could it be so easy to create it with the blood of a Far Eastern island nation
Therefore, this reason seems to Luo Zhen today to be pure nonsense.
Not to mention...
"At that time, Akabane Tenquan had not even reached the final stage of magician. No matter how talented he was, his strength was at most the level of the members of this academy. With him like that, he wanted to defeat the entire Akabane clan. Is it possible to destroy it?"
It's simply not possible.
The Akabane clan is a puppet family. After the Onmyoji clan, even though the smart puppets had not yet been completely popularized in Japan at that time, they could only use refined puppets to fight. With the two family secrets of "Red Wing Formation" and "Puppet Technique", The strength of the clansmen is not inferior to the powerful puppet users at all.
The strength of such a clan cannot be said to be feared by the world, but if you want to destroy it single-handedly, even if the devil comes, it will be impossible. Even if Edward Rutherford comes to the door with , he wants to destroy it single-handedly. It may not be impossible to defeat the Akabane clan, but it is still almost impossible to destroy the entire Akabane clan.
As a result, Akabane Tianquan, who had not yet understood the "Mind's Eye" at the time, single-handedly wiped out the Akabane clan. This was unreasonable.
unless...
"Aka Yu Tianquan has helpers, or in other words, there are other masterminds behind the incident of annihilation."
Luo Zhen looked directly at Astrid.
"If I guess correctly, the mastermind behind this should be Izanagi-ryu, right?"
Luo Zhen's words made the girls in 's group gasp for breath, and even made Astrid's eyes widen.
Obviously, Astrid did not expect that Luo Zhen could even guess the person behind the scenes.
It's not hard to guess at all, though.
"In Japan, if anyone can wipe out the Akabane clan, apart from the military, the only one is Izanagi, who is the old enemy of the Akabane clan."
Luo Zhen ignored anyone's consternation, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, and his tone remained indifferent.
"Moreover, before Akabane was exterminated, there were already some clues between the two clans."
That's something Luo Zhen discovered when he was a child.
for example...
"Why did Izanagi marry the Akabane clan?"
Luo Zhen still remembers that when he was still practicing at Akabane's house, one day, the Akabane clan and Izanagi decided to marry.
Izanagi was planning to marry the princess of his family to the Akabane clan, which was their old enemy. This led Luo Zhen and Lei Zhen to accompany the family to Izanagi's base camp, where they met Nichiwa, Subaru, and... Sixth company.
At that time, Luo Zhen had already doubted that Izanagi was clearly the pillar of the country, and behind it was the country itself. He was so powerful that he could be said to be the royal family of the Far East island country. Why would such a royal family member, the future Izanagi, want to marry his own princess? Will the heir of Zhenaki marry into the Akabane family who is not only an enemy, but has also been expelled from the center of politics and can only be reduced to a mercenary family
Emotionally and rationally, this is something that should not happen.
"If Izanagi was interested in Akabane Tenzen's talents and wanted to make him his son-in-law, that would be understandable, but in the end he was willing to choose one between me and Raijin, which is unreasonable in itself. .”
Although Luo Zhen was talented at that time, he did not have the constitution of "Red Wing Blood". He was just an adopted son and had no reason to marry the princess.
At that time, although Lei Zhen was a descendant of Akabane who inherited the "Blood of Red Wings", he had no talent in magic, and he was even less likely to be favored by the opponent.
There are also many people in the Izanagi-ryu who are extremely dissatisfied with this matter. Luo Zhen has never forgotten the unkindness and hostility of the other clan at that time, which proves that this was a marriage that was opposed, but was eventually pushed forward. It's really puzzling.
So, looking at all the signs, and thinking about Magnus's statement "Don't believe Izanagi", how could Luo Zhen not guess that there was Izanagi's shadow behind this matter
There are only three things that Luo Zhen doesn't understand.
"Why does Izanagi want to destroy the Akabane clan?"
This is the first question.
The Akabane clan and Izanagi are indeed feuding. They have hated each other for thousands of years. When the clever civilization prevails, the Akabane clan's "Red Wing Formation" and "Puppet Technique" will be useful and will emerge in this era. Under the circumstances, Izanagi is likely to feel threatened and want to get rid of Akabane in advance. This is not impossible.
However, this brings up a second question.
"Why does Izanagi want to marry Akabane?"
This is another thing that I can't understand.
