"You won't tell me the location of the spiritual tool until I find the princess?"
Chiyome asked after being silent for two seconds.
"yes."
The shark replied naturally, "If I tell you now, you won't go to the princess."
"You are trying to force someone to do something difficult!"
Kaoru Aizawa couldn't help but interjected, "There is nothing, how can you find it? You don't even know whether she is alive or dead!"
"Who says I don't know?"
The shark snorted softly and said, "In the depths of the ruins, there is the most precious treasure of the shark clan, the scepter of the three goddesses. If you can get it, you may attract the princess to see you."
Kaoru Aizawa's eyes suddenly lit up.
The Three Goddess Scepter sounds like a good thing at first glance.
Of course, the point is that it's the only clue.
"Only those with the purest bloodline of the Sharman clan can use it."
The same person added, "In other words, only the princess can activate it."
"What's in the depths of the ruins?"
Chiyome's tone was a little uneasy.
She had already made a guess.
"You should know."
There was a trace of pity in the shark's eyes, "After all, you escaped from here."
"The Ascension Ceremony of the King of Sands."
Chiyome twitched her lips and showed an ugly expression, "Who is using it?"
"Your former master, Takeda Gen."
The corner of the shark's mouth raised, and he said, "After you escaped, he took the risk to try the sublimation ritual, which resulted in the death of thousands of Takeda clan's elite soldiers, and no one was spared."
Haruhiko suddenly looked at the surrounding buildings.
Apparently this was where the Takeda clan once lived.
He has roughly understood the origin of Chiyome.
He was a subordinate of the Takeda clan who was dominant thousands of years ago.
He participated in the sublimation ceremony and was transformed into a shark, and escaped by chance and went to the University of Tokyo.
Because of a certain spiritual tool, she has been looking for the remains of the sharks.
No wonder Haruhiko has never seen her in her mermaid form.
It turns out that she is not a real shark.
"Although the sublimation ceremony failed, he did not really die because of the effect of the three goddesses' scepter."
The smile on the shark's face disappeared, revealing a look of anger.
The scepter of the Three Goddess is the most precious treasure of the shark clan and is extremely sacred in her mind.
Now that she has been occupied by Takeda Gen, she naturally can't help her emotions.
"I see."
Chiyoda breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
At least there's a glimmer of possibility.
"Takeda Gen, what is your strength?"
Kaoru Aizawa asked with a solemn expression.
Like Haruhiko, she almost figured out the whole story.
I just didn’t expect that my opponent was a big shot from a thousand years ago.
He must have been at the fifth level at that time, but what about now?
"His sublimation ceremony failed, and now he is just surviving."
The shark glanced around the four people, thought for a moment, and said, "Two fifth-level people won't have any problems."
Whether it was a thousand years ago or a thousand years later, the fifth level was still one of the few big shots.
It's just that there were gods at that time, so it seemed that the fifth level was not invincible enough.
"let's go."
Chiyome said without any hesitation.
After leaving the square, Haruhiko looked back.
The previous illusion of fighting had disappeared, leaving only a lone shark wandering around.
"Is there any problem with what she said?"
Haruhiko asked with a player's mind.
He always felt that it was not that simple.
Hearing this, Aizawa Kaoru turned to look at him, and laughed after a few seconds.
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"Did I say something wrong?"
Haruhiko asked confused.
"That's right."
Aizawa Kaoru explained with a smile, "I feel that you are smarter than my daughter."
"Hello!"
Aizawa Aya was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Where am I here? Why are you saying bad things about me in person?"
"I'm your mother. Let me tell you a few words. What's wrong?"
Aizawa Kaoru glared at her, showing off the unique aristocratic charm of a noble lady.
Especially as a fifth-level psyker, although her appearance is not as good as that of a girl, her temperament is more refined.
"Actually, I also thought about it, but I was jumped ahead of me."
Aizawa Aya curled her lips and said.
"What did you think of?"
Kaoru Aizawa softened his attitude, showing the tenderness unique to his mother.
"The sharks may be lying to us."
Aizawa Aya analyzed and said, "According to her, the sublimation ceremony led to the death of thousands of Takeda clan's elite soldiers. This situation is obviously a manifestation of absorbing spiritual energy, so why was she spared?"
Both spiritual and non-spiritual beings are psionic beings.
No magic circle will make a special distinction.
If it was a side effect of failure, there was no reason why the shark would escape.
"Did she die during the sublimation ceremony?"
Kaoru Aizawa thought for a while and asked.
"no."
Aizawa Aya shook her head and replied, "She said she died in that war."
The three people looked at Chiyome.
After noticing the gaze, she hesitated and said, "It's a war between the Takeda clan and the Sharman clan."
Kaoru Aizawa suddenly remembered the information he had reviewed before when investigating the same shark.
The Takeda clan dominated the eastern part of Japan and the East China Sea at that time.
In order to seize the world, he planned to cooperate with the shark clan, but for some unknown reason, the two turned against each other and ended up suffering heavy losses.
Thinking of the so-called sublimation ceremony, she understood the reason.
"Takeda Gen wants to use the sublimation ceremony to create the queen of the shark clan, and then use it to control the shark clan."
Aizawa Kaoru said in a deep voice, "But it was discovered, so a war broke out."
Chiyome's pupils shrank slightly and she fell silent.
Apparently she was right.
"Takeda Gen captured the queen at that time and planned to use her blood to combine with me to create a new queen."
Chiyome spoke slowly, "He is a tyrant. He doesn't trust the Sharman clan, but he is unwilling to give up this power, so he used such despicable methods."
"I see."
Kaoru Aizawa looked at Chiyoda with vague pity.
She didn't expect her teacher's fate to be so rough.
"Will the Shark clan obey the forged orders of the Shark Queen?"
Haruhiko raised a question.
"As long as we have the Shark Queen and the Three Goddess's Scepter, we can forcefully order the Shark clan."
Chiyome explained, "And the Queen of the Mermaids was pregnant at the time, so she must be the princess she was talking about."
"Whether she has deceived us or not, we must get the Three Goddess Scepter."
Kaoru Aizawa took a deep breath and said.
In fact, she was more curious about what the spiritual tool Chiyome was talking about was.
This must be something related to her life.
Because the shark said something before, I really don’t know how you survived.
But Chiyoda didn't take the initiative to say it, and it was hard for her to ask.
The four people moved forward, led by Chiyome, and finally reached the depths.
A huge palace.
But calling it a palace is a bit flattering.
Haruhiko felt it was more like the kind of main hall in a shrine.
More luxurious than ordinary buildings.
But it is far from the standard of a palace in Haruhiko's mind.
However, if you think carefully about the ancient times of Japan, it seems reasonable to call it a palace.
"I just checked it out."
Aizawa Aya said, "There are a lot of psychic energy fluctuations in the buildings we came here along the way, and we may be able to gain a lot."
Haruhiko turned to look at her.
Her eyes were shining, as if a giant dragon had seen the jewelry all over the floor.
Unexpectedly, she is also a money addict.
"The Takeda family was a big family a thousand years ago, so things are naturally good."
Aizawa Kaoru understood her daughter's character, smiled and said, "When the matter is over, you can ask someone to salvage it."
"Can I pick two?"
Haruhiko took the initiative to interrupt.
As the saying goes, when you see wealth, you have a share.
He has no merit but hard work.
Of course, the most important thing is that he knows who Aizawa Kaoru and Aizawa Aya are.
There won't be any rift in my heart because of such a trivial matter.
"You take your pick."
Aizawa Aya was quite proud and said, "It's all for nothing anyway, so don't be polite."
In her opinion, Haruhiko is already considered the heir of Tokyo University.
Of course she won't be stingy.
"Thank you, Sister Aya."
Haruhiko smiled and said, "I won't be polite."
"Okay."
Kaoru Aizawa waved his hand and said, "Two money-crazed people, let's get down to business first."
Chiyome ignored the behavior of the three people in dividing the spoils.
For her who has lived for so long, her only wish is to get the spiritual tool and break the curse.
The rest is irrelevant.
She observed the palace.
This was completely different from the magic circle in her impression.
It should be the change that occurs after failure.
Above the palace, dark clouds gathered.
But there was no thunder and lightning or heavy rain, just like decorations, suspended in the sky.
They blocked out the light overhead, making the palace look unsettlingly as if it were plunging into an abyss.
"Teacher, what should we do now?"
After waiting for a moment, Aizawa Kaoru asked, "Should I just barge in?"
She is not a magic circle master, so she cannot understand this magic circle.
Then just brute force it.
In the era when the gods are not around, the fifth level means invincibility.
Moreover, Jianhao's character is quite reckless.
It's not like a priest who likes to hide behind people's backs.
"It would be best for him to show up."
Chiyome shook her head and walked forward slowly.
The blue color of her feet gradually faded, and she regained her human form.
At the same time, a rather obvious aura spread outward.
As high-level psychics, they all have a unique aura.
This is caused by contamination with spiritual energy.
Breath, that is, momentum.
When facing low-level psykers, it can play a role similar to the Overlord Haki in "One Piece".
As for high-level psychics, it is proof of identity.
"Chi...dai...female..."
A low, resentful voice sounded.
In an instant, the palace shook, and cracks appeared on the white exterior wall, which spread rapidly.
Boom!
Spiritual energy surged, and the outer wall, which was already full of cracks, suddenly exploded.
The debris was like flying snow all over the sky, and accompanied by a shrill and angry roar, it instantly attacked everyone.
Chiyome raised her hand.
Her fingers are slender and white.
But the focus is on the nails.
There was no nail polish on it, but it now showed a bluish color.
The next second, she waved.
The sword energy of the same type as Kaoru Aizawa shot out quickly.
The sound of water suddenly sounded.
The sword energy turned into a huge wave, wrapped in bone-piercing and cold sharpness, splitting all the debris, and its remaining power remained unabated.
A knife mark across the sky and earth was visible to the naked eye throughout the palace.
Haruhiko was stunned.
Is this the legendary nail clipper?
