In the clever city of Liverpool, at the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Crafts.
For people here, it is naturally impossible to know about the changes that have occurred in the Far East, which is half a world away.
Moreover, Smart City has just escaped from danger and is still dealing with the aftermath.
Due to the disappearance of the "Absolute Royal Power", the automatons that ran out of control have been controlled and are currently under inspection.
All injured professors and students have been sent to the Medical Department for treatment.
Astrid left the in the academy and began to escape from the academy without hesitation after the master fell. However, some also tried to sneak into the to steal the research on divine wisdom. Now He is being pursued by the Guards and Fortress Guards.
Hiding in every corner of the college, the students who had escaped the catastrophe appeared one after another with lingering fears, knowing that they were finally out of danger.
In addition to the ruins of destroyed buildings that are still being cleaned up, the college has a lot of things to do, and has no time to pay attention to what is happening in the Far East, let alone how Luo Zhen can easily cross the border between two major countries in this day. Land Boundary, resolved two major events.
Only the three sisters "Xue Yuehua" knew that Luo Zhen was doing something very important.
"I wonder how Master Luo Zhen is doing now."
"I'm so worried every night."
"Really, why don't you take us with you."
The three sisters were worried and uneasy, anxious and wanted to complain.
However, through the connection of the shikigami contract, at a certain moment, the three sisters discovered that Luo Zhen had returned.
The three sisters were overjoyed on the spot, but did not immediately go to join Luo Zhen. Instead, they helped Xia Lu, Fleur, An Li, Luo Ji and others to clean up the aftermath in the academy.
Because Luo Zhen did not come back to see them immediately, but had several things to do.
Magnus stood on the top of the clock tower, leading the six girls from the team, looking at the entire academy.
Until a voice sounded from behind.
"Through the memory of , I finally solved the two questions left by the incident when the Akabane clan was wiped out."
When this voice sounded, Magnus's eyes trembled, and the girl-shaped automatons around him were even more shocked. They suddenly turned around and raised their weapons one by one to face the intruder.
The visitor who appeared there at some unknown time turned a blind eye to this and just continued to talk.
"Why does Izanagi want to destroy the Akabane clan?"
"Why does Izanagi want to marry the Akabane clan?"
"Now I have the answers to these two questions."
Luo Zhen stood behind Magnus, looking at the college that was still cleaning up the mess and looking lively everywhere, and said calmly.
"However, there is still a third question that needs to be answered."
What question
"Why do you want to help Izanagi destroy the Akabane clan?"
Luo Zhen looked at Magnus's back.
"Aren't you going to tell me this answer?"
Luo Zhen's words were exchanged for Magnus' silence.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen was not surprised.
"Since you don't want to say it, let me make a bold guess."
Luo Zhen spoke like this.
"In the events of that year, your behavior itself was full of contradictions."
Akabane Tenzen chose to betray the Akabane family and seek refuge with the Izanagi-ryu, and even attracted people from the Izanagi-ryu to come and massacre the Akabane clan. At first glance, it seems that it is not difficult to imagine the reason.
Izanagi-ryu probably thought that Akabane Tenzen and the Akabane family had different opinions, and wanted to gain a chance to make the family prosperous by giving away the "Her Majesty", and opposed the Akabane family's approach of keeping the "Her Majesty". Thinking that this was asking for death, Akabane Tenzen himself wanted to rise to prominence and did not want to go against Izanagi-ryu, so he chose to betray. However, afterwards, Akabane Tenzen betrayed the country and came to the UK.
Isn’t this action itself contradictory
besides...
"Since it has been determined that you did not destroy the family for divine ingenuity, then why did you help Edward Rutherford study divine ingenuity?"
Akabane Tenquan transformed into Magnus and became the chief of Jiji Academy. He collaborated with the dean and started research on the "Cathedral of Fools". That was only because he defected here and the dean did it just because he wanted to protect him. Did you propose this quid pro quo
It shouldn't be that simple, right
so...
"I guess the reason why you betrayed Izanagi is because you know very well that the Akabane family cannot resist Izanagi. If you want to keep Nadeshiko, there will definitely be a fight between Izanagi and the Akabane family. A fight to the death, the final winner of this fight will only be Izanagi, not Akabane."
Luo Zhen's words rang out one after another.
"In order to find a glimmer of hope in this desperate adversity, you pretended to seek refuge with Izanagi and massacred the Akabane clan yourself. Only in this way did you have the possibility of concealing the truth."
Luo Zhen said this straightforwardly.
"Can I think that in the incident that year, you just caused the tribesmen to fake their own deaths and hid them?"
"Or maybe you actually have another way to resurrect your tribe?"
"Only in this way can we explain why you took refuge in Izanagi, joined forces with them, and then left in treason."
"Is this the truth?"
The bold guess from Luo Zhen's mouth is exactly like this.
Unfortunately...
"That night, the Akabane clan was destined to be exterminated. This is an unchangeable fact."
Magnus turned around and looked at Luo Zhen.
Then, Magnus reached out and took off the mask from his face.
Yes.
Magnus took off his mask.
What appeared under the mask was a face that was somewhat familiar to Luo Zhen.
"Akabane Tianquan..."
Luo Zhen revealed the real name of that face.
Magnus - Akabane Tianquan looked at Luo Zhen, showing the gentle smile that Luo Zhen was very familiar with.
"It seems that you have reached this point." Akabane Tianquan said: "Then, there may be no point in continuing to hide it from you."
Saying this, Akabane Tianquan admitted Luo Zhen's guess.
"The reason why I took refuge with Izanagi was indeed a lie, because if I didn't do this, the Akabane family would only end up being massacred."
Izanagi is the strongest onmyoji family in Japan and the pillar of the country. They want to attack the Akabane clan in their own land. The Akabane clan cannot even escape. The only result is that the entire army will be annihilated and killed.
"But it would be different if I pretended to surrender." Akabane Tianquan said with a faint smile: "That way, I can look for opportunities in that war and do something."
For example, Akabane Tenquan can protect Raijin from being wiped out by Izanagi's people who broke into the sea of fire.
For example, Akabane Tenquan can personally deal with Luo Zhen, so that Luo Zhen can retreat without being targeted by Izanagi.
Luo Zhen and Lei Zhen were able to survive in that sea of fire, and Chi Yutian was indispensable.
Then...
"Even if not everyone, I hope to save every one."
Akabane Tianquan lowered his eyes.
"For example, Nadeshiko."
That's what Akabane Tianquan said.
