Stray Chapter 161: The long night is long

That night, Xia Ran gave Xuexia a small stove to make up lessons, which lasted until nearly 0:00 in the morning.

Although it is said that in the quiet living room, the boys and girls are sitting opposite each other, discussing academic issues in a serious manner, the style of the painting is a little strange, but the atmosphere of the scene is still very reassuring.

——And when Artoria arrived at a certain time, she began to make arrangements for supper under the guidance of the biological clock...

——Charlotte, the head maid, is also quietly taking care of various household chores, not making too much noise to cause disturbance, but also always able to let people know of her existence...

I can't talk about whether there are light bulbs or not. On the contrary, it can make people feel more comfortable and at ease. I won't say that because it is too quiet, I suddenly feel that the house of Nuoda is quite deserted, and even a little creepy. .

Probably because of this, Yukinoshita Yukino was able to sit here until the early hours of the morning.

After all, the pursuit of peace of mind is the essence of human beings, so she is naturally very attentive to this matter. She is more serious than listening to lectures in class, and she also raises her doubts from time to time.

Xia Ran will also explain to her in great detail, so that she has a clearer understanding of the profession of magician, the direction of study and the course subjects she should choose...

During this natural change, some of the awkward and awkward feelings she had had before had disappeared without knowing it, and the relationship between the two was not so charming , but also very comfortable.

However, as time passes unknowingly, this evening is finally the last link——

"The principle is the same. They are all guided and impacted by external forces to open up the loop to form a magic cycle. It doesn't matter if you do it yourself or I help you, but it may be a little painful, and you need to endure a little ..."

Holding the girl's wrist, Xia Ran took the trouble to admonish it. After the other party nodded again and again, she carefully mobilized her spiritual power and gently crossed in along the veins in her palm.

Although there is no danger in this kind of thing, he is subconsciously cautious, as if he is dealing with fragile and delicate crafts.

The girl frowned slightly. She didn't feel any pain at all, she just felt a very weak warm current that appeared from her wrist and circulated.

For a while, I couldn't tell if it was an illusion.

After a long while, even she almost lost her vigilance, and the moment she lost her concentration, she suddenly couldn't help groaning, and clearly felt an impact from her. through the body.

It's almost like being electrocuted, it's a sudden feeling of being burned by a high-voltage current.

"Hmm-!!"

The conditioned reflex is normal, Yukinoshita exhaled softly and retracted her palm like an electric shock.

She held her wrist, frowned and looked at the young man in surprise, with a strange look in her eyes, but also obvious hopes and expectations.

She also seems to have noticed something. Although this cannot be said to be an earth-shaking change, what is certain is that she has indeed become different from before.

The bizarre power has opened up the loop of the circuit. Xia Ran combined his experience of being opened up by the Great Holy Grail to open the magic circuit, as well as the means of helping others to open up the meridians among the oriental martial arts methods. experience.

However, he didn't feel anything special at the beginning, because he didn't need a magic power circuit, and he had already mastered the magic power.

But for Yukinoshita Yukino now, it's very different, it's a peculiar sensory experience. It was as if a blind man who had been blind from birth suddenly regained his sight. This kind of feeling would be completely incomprehensible to anyone who was not involved.

Similarly, a girl who has always been an ordinary person before, and now feels the existence of magic for the first time, is naturally a strange feeling that is completely indescribable.

It seems that the world in front of me has suddenly become different. The surrounding atmosphere, environment, and all contexts are so clear. It seems that everything is emitting a shallow resonance and response. Her perception echoes her spirit.

—is this magic?

"Ahahaha, I've tried my best to be gentle, but when the loop is really opened up and a loop is formed, there will still be some obvious shocks..."

Xia Ran retracted her palm, coughed lightly, and explained: "And it doesn't allow you to completely block this feeling. You need to remember it so that you can accurately grasp the existence of the circuit, which will make you The road ahead will be much smoother..."

"I know, you want to use this feeling as an imaginary switch?" Yukinoshita pursed her lips and nodded after a while, recovering from that strange and unique feeling, trying her best to Let yourself say this in a calm tone.

"Yes, as long as you remember this feeling, you can clearly use it as a switch in your imagination..." Xia Ran nodded and said, "The method of switching depends on the impressions of the practitioners. However, this is originally related to the opening of the magic circuit at the beginning.”

This is also a tricky way, but it's really useful. It's better than not being able to form an exact and effective psychological suggestion, and there's no way to control the magic circuit with an imaginary switch.

In fact, this is not bad. Some magicians in the Fate world probably have no way to form a switch in their imagination. As a result, they have become a little bit because of pressure and urgency over time. twisted up.

Some of them are said to have even developed a condition where they are unable to switch the magic circuit at all except for self-harming behavior.

So every time they want to use magic, they must first abuse themselves. By hurting their own bodies, they can mobilize the magic in their bodies.

This is also sad enough, but there is no way-

When the signal at the "imagination" level is not clear enough to be used as the switch signal of the magic circuit...

In addition to being ruthless, they directly hurt their "body" in one step, and gave more intense and direct sensory stimulation as a signal to switch the switch, what else could they do?

Of course, that's the situation of other hapless magicians.

"Now, um, the first magic circuit in your body has been opened, and then you just need to follow the steps, step by step, and take it slow, don't be greedy for success... By the way, there is also this for you."

Xia Ran thought for a while, then reached out and took out a delicate crystal bracelet from the golden ripples in the void.

"This is polished with amethyst stone. They are all energy stones with extremely high purity of spiritual power, but don't worry about radiation. It is harmless to the human body. You can carry it directly on your body. Dayuan is not ideal, but you can also get enough magic power..."

After all, in the real world, the magic of the atmosphere is basically impossible to count on, and it is not an empty talk to be almost dry.

However, the existence of amethyst, a special product of the Magic Realm, can perfectly make up for this defect.

This is a mineral with extremely high spiritual energy content. It is basically a mineral formed by solidification and crystallization of pure energy. Just break off a spar and polish it into a small bracelet. The energy value contained is enough to maintain beginners. A fairly long supply of magic power.

There is no need for any special usage requirements. Now that Yukinoshita Yukino has opened the first magic circuit, it is enough to carry the bracelet as an accessory.

Because the amethyst stone naturally emits the purest aura, and the magic circuit mainly plays the role of converting the external energy into the user's own magic power, it can naturally absorb the aura emitted by this amethyst stone nearby.

After the novel feeling passed, it was pure tiredness and exhaustion. The awakening of the mysterious power was also very exhausting, and Yukinoshita's expression also showed obvious tiredness.

In addition, it's really late now, so I can only stop here today, and I have to go to school tomorrow, not the weekend.

Shortly after Yukino Yukino passed through that door and returned to her own apartment, Charlotte also returned, mostly by setting up the enchantment by weaving her enchanted hair into the rope , use these ropes to surround a certain area, and then draw a magic circle...

In such a way, an invisible barrier was opened around Yukinoshita Yukino's apartment.

In magic, it means separating the inside and the outside. It can act as a defense plan and anti-theft countermeasure, and can effectively stop uninvited guests and detect intruders... But ordinary humans are far from qualified to touch the real defense line.

They will only be unconsciously prompted by the avoidance effect at the first moment, ignoring the place surrounded by the barrier.

"Ms. Yukinoshita's first magic circuit has been opened? Master, you really care enough about this..."

When Charlotte just returned to Moriya Shrine and came down from the upstairs, Artoria was also talking to her master, and the tone of the blond and blue-eyed knight girl was a little emotional.

However, it is more gratifying. The Master is very concerned about this evening. She has seen this, so she feels gratified.

Isn't it obvious after all? It is impossible for the Master to say that he thinks that Miss Yukinoshita is so talented and wants to use the strength of the other party.

So there is only one explanation, that is, he is keenly aware of the girl's unease, so he pays attention to this aspect, and everything he does is to make the latter feel at ease and not be left behind. ...

Saber thinks this is quite good, because she is afraid that as her Master becomes stronger and stronger and the level of life becomes higher and higher, she will gradually lose her humanity. This kind of worry is not groundless, and the heights are not just words.

"I have had such an idea before, but it is only now that I can conditionally practice it..."

Xia Ran didn't think there was any problem and responded lightly.

After all, he had no conditions before. He had neither a proper reason to go to the girl's residence after school, nor could he invite the girl to share his residence at his residence... Providing study notes was the only thing he could do.

And before that, he himself couldn't provide too many resources. After all, whether it's the spiritual elixir of cultivation, or the amethyst stone, which is a specialty of the Magic Realm... These are all played in this long dungeon. arrived.

Even his own strength was integrated in this dungeon, and a comprehensive qualitative change occurred——

From relying on the second method to become a magician, only a single ability can reach the embarrassing situation of demigod evaluation, and now it has completed the entire transition process and fully advanced to the demigod level.

It is precisely because of this that he can now do all kinds of incredible things, and he has the capital to promote the development of certain things according to his own ideas and wishes.

"That's right..." Saber nodded, then saw the Master stretched his waist, stood up and walked towards the entrance, "Huh? Master, where are you going so late?"

"I'm going to Gensokyo, I have a lot to do."

Xia Ran replied casually.

There are indeed a lot of things to be busy with. First of all, there is the issue of the placement of the Magic Realm. This can't be decided by oneself at a stroke of the forehead. It must be discussed with Zi.

Then there is the intention of the two moon-faced princesses before, and he has to inform Yongting first, communicate with there, and see what attitude and ideas Bayi Yonglin has, so he can do it. judge.

The time of Gensokyo is also synchronized with the outside world, the solar terms are the same, and the day and night are the same, so this moment is also late at night, but the sky is full of stars, the moon is bright, and the silhouette of the mountains in the distance is undulating.

Because there was no way to directly enter the Eight Clouds Mansion, Xia Ran went to the Lost Bamboo Forest first.

The depths of the bamboo forest are always filled with mist, which is deep and mysterious, and the visibility is very poor. The dense bamboo leaves cover the sky and the light is dim. And after living in the deepest eternal pavilion, because there is only a minimum amount of necessary light, it is very dark.

You can only hear the sound of the wind brushing through the thin bamboo, making it impossible to tell whether it is day or night, whether there are people or no one inside, giving people the illusion that time and history have been forgotten.

Under the leadership of the rabbit-eared girl Ling Xian, Xia Ran soon saw the strange doctor.

Bayi Yonglin also seemed a little surprised by his visit, looked him up and down with interest, and then asked, "Are you here to donate blood? How much do you plan to donate this time?"

"...not."

"Is that a doctor's visit? Speaking of which, you have changed a lot. It's only been a few days..."

“… nor is it.”

"Oh, if that's the case, then please go back. I still have things to do, so I won't waste time with you." The girl with white dreadlocks immediately lost her interest, and gave a casual order to evict guests, and went back to His own test bench was busy.

“…”

“…”

Xia Ran twitched the corners of her mouth, do you want to be so utilitarian!

He sighed, organized the language, and said the things that the two princesses had come to look for her before.

"Go back to the Moon City? I don't have any plans for this, so let's not talk about it..." Bayi Yonglin didn't look back, just looking at the reagents in her hands that were changing colors in front of the light, so said.

"They won't give up easily...but I'm not here to persuade you, just to ask, if they want to enter Gensokyo, do they need to be released?"

"This..."

The sage of the moon pondered for a while, then turned to look at him: "If Kaguya has no opinion, let them come and take a look..."

"So does Princess Kaguya have an opinion or no opinion?" Xia Ran was a little helpless.

"I don't know about this. Go and ask her yourself... She must still be playing games all night. You can go and see now, and let Ling Xian take you there." Sage of the Moon said calmly.
