Greetings, Mister Principal: The aftermath
"Phyllis?"
Reiner immediately recognized his sister and the girl behind her as the guy he met in the city library and then disappeared.
So she is Phyllis’ companion?
Behind the girl, circles of ripples spread out, and from the center of the ripples, countless muzzles protruded, including barrels as small as flintlock muskets, and heavy cannons with huge calibers on warships. There are many of them, covering the sky like stars.
"This is space folding. Is there such a scale of space folding?"
Mrs. Freya's cat eyes widened as she looked at the weapons behind the blond girl.
Space folding is not a particularly rare spell. Its simplest application is a storage bag. In a small bag, something several times its volume can be packed. This is space folding.
However, because the space folding spell itself is not stable and can only be stabilized in a very small space, it can only be used as a storage bag. It has always been difficult to stabilize large-scale space folding spells. Problems to overcome.
But for the girl in front of her, the space behind her occupies far more area than even the largest storage bag can accommodate. This is indeed a folding of space, but it is not something that exists in the world. magic.
In contrast, the girl's series of attacks that directly knocked Macon down became less shocking.
Macon's body was riddled with holes, and the originally strong armor was gradually melting, evaporating, and turning into smoke. He fell to the ground, covered in blood, and could no longer look like a human being.
Macon even closed his eyes before he could even say his last words.
Everything happened so suddenly, which made Reiner confused and at the same time more alert.
He originally thought that his sister Felice had only been exposed to a certain amount of magic and learned spells such as charm, but he did not expect that Felice would come into contact with such a powerful existence.
Although Macon was attacked by surprise, the expressionless girl just now killed Macon, who was in the strongest defensive state, with just one blow. It can be seen that her fighting power is powerful, not to mention her display of it. This huge scale of space folding capabilities.
Right now, Reiner is thinking about one thing. Is his sister an enemy or a friend?
"You really surprised me. I didn't expect that you could find Macon by yourself and even corner him."
Phyllis’s high heels stepped on the ground, making a crisp sound.
The blond girl followed behind her and silently put away all her weapons. The muzzles that originally filled half the sky were quickly submerged in the void and could no longer be seen.
"Introduction, this is Hellason, you may have seen him before."
Phyllis came to Reiner and pointed at the indifferent girl beside her.
Reiner nodded slightly, seeming to understand something.
If a space folding spell of that scale could be used, it would not be so incomprehensible that the girl named Helleson disappeared under Reiner's nose. She must have extremely strong ability to manipulate space. It is not impossible to hide in the cracks.
"So, what are you going to do when you show up now?"
Reiner asked.
Mrs. Freya hid behind him, staring at Phyllis warily. For some reason, this woman made her feel very afraid. This was a kind of instinctive awe.
"Macon is a member of the Serpents of Chaos, and I have to hunt these people down for some reason, it's that simple."
Phyllis shrugged. Her action was exactly the same as Reiner's, and one could see the blood connection.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you think that I am coveting the method of making the Philosopher's Stone, or the secret that Macon is carrying, but in that case, as a sister, I will be very sad."
She said so, but there was no corresponding emotion on her face.
"Macon is dead, your goal has been achieved."
Reiner said, wary of the other party's every move.
"Yes, but Reiner, have you ever thought about why our father is looking for traces of Macon?"
Phyllis looked with interest at Mrs. Freya, who was hiding behind Reiner, her tail hair puffing up, and her back arched. She tried to tease the kitten, but Mrs. Freya grinned fiercely. Ichiban.
"You mean, father wants the power of the Philosopher's Stone?"
Reiner frowned slightly. In his memory, Winchester, the head of the Iain Gray family, was not close to magic. To him, it was just a way to make money, and he had no intention of pursuing it. In his long life, the one thing Winchester said most to his children was to live in the present.
It’s hard to imagine that such a person would be obsessed with the Philosopher’s Stone.
"Just before Macon died, he said that he decided to make the Philosopher's Stone in order to resurrect Aunt Celia, right?"
Phyllis did not answer directly, but changed the subject.
"Is there a possibility that my father has known for a long time that Macon has the method of making the Philosopher's Stone, so he sent Aunt Celia to get close to Macon. This time, he wanted to get rid of the Philosopher's Stone. Aunt Celia finds here the knowledge she gained from Macon."
As she spoke, she put her hands behind her back and made a half circle around Reiner. This posture gave a clear view of Felice's beautiful figure, which made people think.
“I heard from some older servants in the family that Aunt Celia’s relationship with my father was quite close, even more so than my mother’s. Maybe there is a more interesting story in it. ~IndoMTL.com~ Reiner couldn't deny this possibility. If it were his father who put interests first, he might really be able to do such a thing. As for the entanglement between Macon Hedahia and Aunt Selia, both sides Now that it is dead, it is no longer possible to discuss it.
"That's it. I'm not interested in these things."
"What a pity, I want to talk to you more, alone."
Phyllis whispered into Reiner's ear, and her warm breath hit Reiner's ear, causing a slight itching sensation. Anyone else would have been shaken.
"No need, if I'm not wrong, the high-ranking mage of Mercury Scale will be here soon. I wonder if Sister Felice is interested in chatting with him, especially about this Herculean figure?" Miss Lathan's matter."
Reiner glanced at the girl who had been silent since just now and stared at the dead Macon.
Phyllis sneered and then took a few steps back.
"Well, in this case, I won't say much more. Regarding today's matter, I hope my lovely brother will help me keep this secret."
She smiled slightly, and Hellaison behind her raised her hand slightly.
"I hope you won't disappoint me again when I see you next time, Reiner."
It was as if the space was suddenly torn open, and the two of them were wrapped in it. Soon, the place where they were standing was empty, and no trace of anyone could be found.
Reiner probed a little and found that it was true that he could not sense the auras of Phyllis and Helleson, so he relaxed a little.
Phyllis aside, there is no doubt that Hellaison is extremely powerful.
Why do they go out against the Serpent of Chaos, and what is their purpose?
Reiner doesn't know.
