The relationship between people is often very strange. For example, in the last round, Enwood wanted to kill Lu Ning, but Lu Ning counterattacked and killed him. Although the two had never openly quarreled, they both secretly wanted each other. fate.
But this time, due to the change in identity, Lanewood became Lu Ning's "ally". The eldest son of the Howard family was not lying about his emphasis on family. After all, early the next morning, he took Milia and Lista to the main library to hold them accountable.
Lenwood's targeting of people is obvious. He reminds, warns and insinuates family members, sternly interrogates servants, and deliberately alienates guests. The skill of being all-rounded is also very easy for him to use in reverse, at least not By two hours, everyone in the main hall knew that a familiar had attacked Lista yesterday.
In the process, Lanewood also very cunningly concealed the process of the attack and the dangerous situation Lista encountered. He had tidied up the room overnight. In the morning, when Lista took a look after Lu Ning had controlled it for a while, she found that the room had been restored to a level of chaos that looked like something had just broken in and had a fight. Yesterday, The state of everything being blown to pieces is gone. I have to say that the magic of Enwood is really versatile.
After arriving at the main hall, Lista sat in the hall, leaving it to Lanewood to come forward. Lista's injury had recovered yesterday. After receiving treatment from Lanewood, as a magician, she also had sufficient treatment methods.
Placed in front of her were some books, which she had asked the servant to find in the study. These books must have been in the study before, but Lu Ning and other tourists couldn't find them so accurately.
Although Lista was flipping through the book almost at a glance, Lu Ning also probably saw some of the contents in the book. There is no doubt that Lista is now looking for the origin of the familiar.
After getting a book in which Lu Ning could only understand the pictures but not the words, Lista's rapid flipping movement finally stopped. Fortunately, there were enough pictures in this book. Even if Lu Ning didn't understand what was written in it, he could still tell that it probably depicted some weird creatures.
"Dark clouds, invisible hounds, and the confusing triangle..."
Lista's fingers traced over similar monsters one after another, but she did not stop and continued to turn the pages. It was obvious that the characteristics of these monsters were different from the one she encountered.
After flipping through most of the book, Lista finally stopped turning pages.
"Crimson Pure Land..."
Lista looked at the painting on the picture. It was a red, humanoid shape with multiple arms, and the words on it were read out in a low voice by Lista.
"A familiar belonging to the 'Plunder', the origin of magic, is usually responsible for guarding the secrets of the 'Plunder' contract and acting as a vanguard. The essential goal is to destroy all records and destroy the sanity of witnesses, and cover up everything. This familiar has the ability to act covertly. It will cause fatal damage to the spirit. Only burst magic attacks can harm this type of familiar, and continuous and elemental damage such as poison, fire, etc. are invalid. If you defeat the 'Crimson Pure Land' that comes to attack, you will be killed before the contract is completed. Suffering from the 'Crimson Curse'."
Lista read this and immediately checked her body again, but still found no sign of being marked. She was convinced that magic had to follow basic principles, so this curse did not fall on her.
Unfortunately, there is no specific introduction to how the curse works in the book, so it stops right here, and the next line is an additional comment.
"During the duration of the contract, if the cursed person touches the secret of the contract again, he will be attacked by a more powerful familiar. Since there is no record of survivors, the type and attack method of the familiar are unknown."
Lista closed the book with regret.
She is very proud of her abilities. Perhaps in her eyes, only Renix among humans can compare with her. However, she also has a very clear understanding of herself. No matter how much human magicians learn, they still cannot surpass the origin of magic, because what magicians use and rely on is the power borrowed from them.
Lu Ning also knew this, and she finally knew what kind of risks there were in choosing Lista. Before everything started, she actually faced the risk of being directly stared at by things that were just in the background. The first two rounds of these things only came out and spun around at the end.
The reason... is because Lista's inspiration is extremely high. This brought her unparalleled magical talent, and naturally brought super high risks to this island. Rennix was the mastermind of the entire incident. He was probably fine until his death, but others may not be sure. .
Asaka Shinnomiya said that when she played the violinist, she clearly felt that she was going crazy as the song was completed.
The rest of them...although they haven't been verified yet, they probably won't be much different. But Lu Ning has never seen these highly inspired people who have been collected complete the works they need to complete.
Is the ending really crazy?
"Lista?"
Milia sat down next to Lista worriedly and looked at where the book in her daughter's hand had stopped.
"Did you find it?"
"I see."
Lista is very calm. The current situation is far from the worst. After erasing the mental impact, Lista is able to make rational judgments. The familiar Crimson Pure Land was killed by her with her most explosive magic, which means that this met the standards recorded in this book.
She can indeed be regarded as the top magician.
The distribution of plundering ether in the world is not very high. If it were not for the special environment on the island, it would not be triggered by means other than magic. Since the drop of rain she touched triggered the special effect of plundering and then disappeared, it is easy to draw this conclusion - she actually complies with the content of the contract, but is not within the scope of the contract.
After knowing this, it was easy not to touch the plunder contract. What she needed to consider was how many contracts Renix had signed. According to her knowledge, about two-thirds of the magic origins corresponding to each type of ether are a little narrow-minded and have many taboos. If Renix signs a lot of contracts, she may have to be very careful, because with her Inspiration may trigger some taboos unintentionally.
"Well... I need to suppress my magical affinity. It's best to cover it up... feel like I've forgotten something?" Lista looked at her mother, "Mom, did I say that I had done something about my memory before I went to the island? What?"
"You said you wanted to seal some memories to avoid accidents." Milia said, "We originally thought you might be too nervous, but now..."
"No way, you have to make some preparations to see grandpa." Lista nodded, "We have to prepare a little bit, mother, grandpa should announce something at tonight's family dinner. But no matter what he said, You can’t completely believe it, understand?”
"I don't know much about you magicians. If you think so, then let's do it."
"Mother, you need to... be more assertive. I know that my father is a person with his own ideas, but he will listen to your opinions. He is not as proud as me." Lista sighed, "Sometimes My father will make wrong decisions due to some prejudice or wrong judgment. If you know about it, you should dissuade him more."
"I know, but you... are all Howard, this is your family after all..."
"It's yours now, mother. My grandfather is not a rigid person. He has always despised those stupid rules. He only recognizes the power of knowledge and power. So are you, and so is Arisa Saotome. If you don't have any merits that he can appreciate. , then it would be impossible to marry a Howard."
"Yeah?"
Seeing Milia like this, Lista had no choice but to give up. She couldn't force Milia, she could only wait and see when she would understand.
Milia is not that opinionated, she just needs confidence and some push. Lista stood up and walked towards the corridor, preparing to go to the kitchen to get some drinks. On the way, Lu Ning took over the body.
The difficulty of playing Lista is definitely very high. Lu Ning is not prepared to use this identity to cultivate any relationships with others. It is better to let him do that kind of thing. She now wants to use the convenience of this identity to verify some things.
First of all, it is about her own state when she is acting. At least judging from her current state, she does not have to worry about her inspiration being too high when she is acting. This problem only appeared in Lista herself, just like Asaka Shinmiya was almost half crazy at that time, but she could control herself to commit suicide.
Secondly, although she cannot use the magic Lista knows, she can use the props she prepared in advance. The type of magic ether used by Lista is "Chaos". She can create simulated magic through substitution. This type of method has been verified by tourists before. For example, after Kanzaki Takaya himself activated the werewolf transformation, he even Even if it takes over, the effect of the change will not disappear.
In other words, what visitors can use is magic that has been triggered. Put on Lu Ning, it is a prop prepared by Lista in advance to deal with various accidents. She can use it as long as she knows how to use it. Unfortunately, the three moves used to kill "Crimson Pure Land" do not belong to this. column, otherwise she would have directly mastered a super killing method.
Finally, there is Lista’s own familiar. Her familiar has been released since Lu Ning was able to control it. It has been within a hundred meters around her. It is a ghost that can freely enter and exit the wall and can sense the soul and temperature nearby. Although it is not Vision, but still a good familiar.
Most of the familiars made by magicians cannot be directly fought, because this function must mean giving up most of the familiar's other abilities, which is almost not worth the gain.
Lu Ning can also use this familiar, because it is also a magic that has been activated. If the familiar has been released, she can use it at any time. Watanabe Fuchiko told her this. In the last round, Watanabe Fuchiko relied on the expanded vision given by the familiar and the ability to project her own personality to appear at any time. Being in the right position to guide the situation and take control of it.
As Lu Ning walked towards the restaurant, she began to practice listening to the information sent back from the familiar. This is not difficult, because it is not controlling another body, it is just receiving information and processing it, and it requires a little distraction. It wouldn't be a problem if she wasn't in combat mode, she had already practiced it when she got the drink.
Pan Shen's homemade blended juice and tea taste very good. This head chef is indeed very capable in cooking. It's a pity that after talking to Pan Shen yesterday, Lu Ning's current status is not suitable to directly ask about the other party's past.
At noon, what Rennix said when he came downstairs was no different from the last round. However, because many people came to Enwood to find him, this time everyone had expected it, and the atmosphere did not become very tense. Rennix did not comment on this reaction. After saying this, he asked Escher to push out the stone tablet of the house rules and then returned to his room.
In the afternoon, Lu Ning no longer controlled Lista's actions. She decided to let the characters in the plot walk around more this time. Lista knew how much trouble there was, but she was curious about how things would have developed if the tourists hadn't intervened.
Soon, the time came to night.
There was one more person at the family banquet this time, and Lista's seat was not next to Lanewood and Milia. She was sitting behind Arisa Saotome, which meant that she was behind all the elders in the succession line. At the family dinner, Rennix still reminded all the children about the people who might seek revenge on them, and then announced the start of the family dinner - everything was not much different from before.
After the family dinner, it is time to talk alone. Lu Ning calculated the length of time each person took to enter, and compared it with the impression from the previous round. The length was almost the same, and there was no abnormal time-consuming situation.
After Arisa Saotome, Escher came to Lista.
"Miss Lista, it's your turn."
"Should I go in too?"
"The master wants to talk to each family member individually. Of course you are also a member of the Howard family. Please."
Lista stood up, straightened her clothes, and then followed Escher into the small room.
Rennix was sitting in the room, holding a book in his hand. Lu Ning could tell at a glance that it was the book where Lista had read the familiar information in the morning.
"grandfather."
"Are you here? I heard that you were attacked last night."
Rennix said in an affirmative tone.
"Yes, it is the Crimson Pure Land."
"Ah... the plundering servant has the same greedy nature as itself. It is naturally unwilling to let the secret leak out, which will weaken its own strength." Renix smiled, "Lista, you defeat Its familiar is very good. I believe that among the younger generation of magicians, including those of your father's generation, no one is better than you."
"You don't need to say this kind of thing, it's just like that." Lista accepted the compliment without any guilt, "Then Grandpa, should you explain the situation to me?"
