Magician in Type-Moon

Page 313

His body remained completely still. Even his breathing was extremely faint, so much so that one might mistake him for being dead.

A spell floated from her mouth.

In terms of written language, it is the Bruyub tribe.

Its implied meaning is—

"Vibrate."

She continued reciting.

"Vibrate, vibrate."

As Ye Jie Zhu Yin chanted the incantation, she herself trembled slightly.

That's a type of Japanese magic based on resonance. Since ancient times, shrine maidens have performed magic by causing the soul to vibrate.

They firmly believed that the tremors could communicate with heaven, ghosts, and gods. Even the dead would rise again under the tremors.

"Shake it, shake it."

The mask began to vibrate slightly.

Initially, it was just one of many masks.

Then the masks around it began to vibrate slightly, and finally, all the masks began to vibrate violently.

The sound of the wooden mask rubbing against the wall was like the sound of many masks sobbing.

The function of the Night Raiders' priestess is to discern the divine will from that voice.

She turned around and looked at the mirror standing behind her.

"Master of the cabinet."

she asked softly.

"Why abandon him? Or rather, why are you afraid of him?"

Chapter 370 The Wandering Sea and Atlas (4k)

After returning to the Imaginary Tree, Matouchi began to sort through the information she had obtained from her contact with the Night Robbery family.

He certainly didn't overlook the unusual events that occurred at the Ye Jie family after he left.

Or perhaps he sensed something was amiss and left the black mansion beforehand.

Only after he leaves will the other party dare to perform certain rituals and ceremonies.

As for the coercion and intimidation mentioned earlier, they were merely meant to make the other party more anxious and thus expose more weaknesses.

The secrets of the Night Calamity Clan certainly don't just lie with that one divine body, yet the other party so frankly told him the whereabouts of that divine body.

There are only two possibilities.

Or perhaps they want Matouchi and that magician of the Wandering Sea to clash, so they can then reap the benefits.

Or perhaps the missing divine body was just a decoy.

Matou Ike had not forgotten the craving she felt after arriving at the Yoruichi's house.

However, there's no need to rush. Sometimes you can only get more by waiting until the very end.

Matou Ike stood on a branch of the Imaginary Tree, looking at Medea beside her, and asked:

Are you familiar with the organization "Wandering Sea"?

Medea, who was sitting cross-legged to the side, seemed to have already considered this question. After a moment's thought, she smiled and said:

"I did know a little about it, but their name at the time was probably 'Mobile Stone Coffin'. When I was desperate, I almost joined them, but I never actually saw the thing. What I saw was probably just a projection."

Seeing that Matou Ike was still somewhat puzzled, she explained further:

"The specific form is the mountain itself that drifts and moves on the ocean. As its name suggests, it usually wanders at sea, but sometimes it also lands."

"They are seen by most people as an ordinary floating island in the North Sea, but that is only what can be seen with the naked eye. On the contrary, they should be located in the middle of a 'sea' that moves as another world, which, according to you, is like an 'independent singularity'."

"Basically, it is inaccessible to reality and human reason, and modern radar should also be unable to detect it."

Matouike seemed to understand Medea's meaning and then asked:

"Do you know what their internal structure is like?"

Medea shook her head:

“I can’t give you accurate information, but I can roughly guess their idea—'to isolate themselves from the eyes of humans and gods.' Once they have achieved this, they will be like they have 'disappeared' from the universe, and no one can observe or interfere with them.”

"So how did you come into contact with them?" Matou Ike asked curiously.

Medea laughed:

"Didn't I say that what I saw back then was just a projection? The guy who appeared in front of me might not even be a human from my time."

Medea continued:

"According to the man I contacted, they must have left five anchor-like structures on this planet, distributed across different eras, and then projected the actual structures onto this planet through those anchors... There should be about five such anchors..."

"So you mean they might have five different factions?" Matou Ike interrupted Medea.

“That should be the case. Perhaps each of their eras corresponds to a research direction,” Medea muttered. “However, it’s quite puzzling that they would actually come into reality. After all, coming from the eras defined by those anchor points to the modern era requires a considerable amount of magic.”

"Quite a bit of magic power?" Matou Ike gave Medea a deep look. If even this magician from the Age of Gods thought it was too much, then he had to reconsider the purpose and determination of the magician from the Wandering Sea on this trip.

We can only consider this matter again after we get our hands on the Butterfly Magic. Let's urge Orange and Webber first.

......

As time slowly passed, in another place.

The capital of the United Kingdom, located on the outskirts of London.

The neighborhood known as the Sla district has become an academy city of the Minerals Department led by the El-Melloi faction, but this is something only magicians who deal with the Clock Tower know.

The time difference between here and Japan is approximately eight hours.

So this is the time when the sun is setting in the west, and a thin gloom envelops the world.

In the office, Reines Elmello Archizorti put down her pen.

"A visitor is coming."

The silver-clad maid appeared and spoke.

"...Ah, they've come after all."

After muttering something, the girl raised her chin as if she were entertaining a guest.

Then, the door was pushed open.

Reines stood up and bowed to the tall man carrying the handbag.

"I was just thinking you should be here by now."

Reines looked at the woman in front of her and thought of the sea.

The woman's hair was that blue.

Although it's a color that couldn't possibly exist in nature, it's not surprising considering the magical organization she belongs to.

Considering their high-speed thinking that preemptively calculates the future, their emotionless facial expressions are perhaps a standardized template.

Alchemist.

That was a branch of Western alchemy, different from the one to which the Clock Tower belonged.

“Latio Kurdris Hiram, I never expected to see the names of the Six Sources of the Atlas Institute here.”

Reines casually joked, peering at the white-haired alchemist.

What brings you here?

"We are expressing our desire to cooperate with the El-Melloi family and the magician behind you."

With that strange way of speaking, the white-haired magician nodded.

"And the Atlas Academy? That's quite sudden."

Reines clicked her tongue inwardly.

However, its methods have a strong Atlas-like feel. The clock tower's roundabout tactics and maneuvering have never been a good match for such a straightforward opponent.

After a moment's thought, Reines decided to ask the question in this way.

"If you don't tell me what happened first, I can't really give a response."

"I understand, then I apologize for being rude."

After the white-haired magician finished answering, he took out a human skull from his package.

"Tangrey".

With a short, sharp sound, growth began to occur at the base of the skull.

First came the collarbone, then the sternum, and from below the sternum, the lumbar vertebrae grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, all four limbs grew out at the same time.

A skeletal giant appeared, almost reaching the roof of the office.

"Nice to meet you, daughter of the Clock Tower."

The enormous bone bowed respectfully to Reines.

"These are all calculations that Miss Latour worked hard to arrive at. Well, let's take a look first."

Contrary to its terrifying appearance, the skeletal giant spoke in a flippant tone and then opened its arms.

The calculation results appeared vividly on the bone-white surface of the display, just like on the latest model.

That was a world map.

However, from the center of Eurasia and the Mediterranean region to present-day China, and further east, traces spread out like splashes of black ink.

"Unlike the current mainstream research direction on the mystical side, our research direction is more inclined towards the study of the divine side, which involves a certain deity with many aspects, incarnations and derivatives. This map is the route of that deity's spread."

It is not unusual for gods to have multiple incarnations—in fact, it is quite normal.

For example, Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, and Selene, the goddess of the moon, were considered the same deity, and Diana, the goddess of Roman mythology, also shared the same divine status with them.
