Chapter 53 It Has Magic
"Well......"
The sudden sound startled Shi Chen, almost giving him a fright.
He immediately stopped smiling and turned to look at the source of the sound.
In mid-air, Nangong Nayue was holding a purple-black parasol, standing on a magic circle, and looking at him calmly.
"Th-then... what are you doing here, Tsuki-chan?" Toki's surging magical power subsided instantly, and his aura weakened.
It's like being caught doing something wrong by your parents.
Actually, they're pretty much the same.
"Heh~ Why do you think I'm here?" Nangong Nayue sneered and asked in return.
"Hmm... Did they come to pick me up and take me home?" Shi Chen tried to lighten the mood with a joke.
Nangong Nayue was completely uncooperative: "What? You're going home in the middle of the day?"
"Natsuki-chan, don't you have a job?" Toki gave up on joking around.
"Hmph, all done." Nangong Nayue crossed her arms.
"All right......"
"Tell me quickly, what happened to that enormous magical power just now? Why do you have magical power?" Nangong Nayue asked directly without saying a word.
"I devoured the sage's blood, which is why I have magic power," Shichen replied honestly, not intending to hide anything.
"Sage's Blood? You mean that Sage's Blood?" Nangong Nayue was a little incredulous.
She naturally knew what the Sage's Blood was, as well as its function and effects.
"That's the one." Shi Chen nodded.
Why is there sage's blood here?
"You'll have to ask her about that," Shi Chen gestured to Nina on his shoulder.
"Master...who is she?" Nina asked uncertainly.
Not knowing Nangong Nayue's identity, she was a little unsure how to respond. After all, Shichen was always trying to absorb her, so what if she used the wrong attitude?
She already knew that Shichen was the so-called True Ancestor, which is a vampire, and what vampires need most is the blood of pure young girls.
What if the girl in front of him is his type?
"Oh? You've even called me 'Master'? You've become so accomplished after just one morning apart?" Nangong Nayue's tone was a bit cold, and her expression suddenly turned dangerous.
"Ahem, Tsuki-chan, don't be so jealous yet."
"Who's jealous!"
"Let Nina explain first."
"Nina?"
"Nina, just treat Nazuki-chan like I am, and now quickly explain everything to her."
"Do you see me as your master? I understand."
Nina stood up from Shichen's shoulder, bowed to Nangong Nayue, and then said, "Master, my name is Nina Adilard, and I am an alchemist."
"Nina Adilard?" Nangong Nayue frowned and slowly asked, "The alchemist from over two hundred years ago? A descendant of the mysterious messenger Hermes Trismogistus? The Sage's Watcher?"
"Master, you know me? Wait, more than two hundred years have passed?"
"If you are her, then it has indeed been more than two hundred years." Nangong Nayue nodded.
"I see."
"How did you find her?" Nangong Nayue asked Shichen.
"Don't rush, let her explain."
"Master, let me explain," Nina interjected.
"...Don't call me master."
"But Master said..."
"It's nothing, it's just a form of address," Shi Chen said nonchalantly.
"Alright...you can continue."
"I understand," Nina continued. "Back then, in order to prevent the sage from being resurrected, I sacrificed myself to seal him away. This is the place where the sage's spiritual blood was sealed... Because of the master's appearance, I was awakened as well, and now, with a little bit of the sage's spiritual blood, I have a body."
"What about the other sages' blood? Did you absorb them all?" Nangong Nayue asked Shichen.
"More or less," Shichen nodded.
"So, does that mean the sage can't be resurrected?"
"Probably." Shi Chen didn't care; he was extremely arrogant right now.
"It seems so," Nina said belatedly.
The sage's spiritual blood has been absorbed by time, so the sage can no longer be resurrected through spiritual blood. In that sense, she seems to have been liberated.
We should also thank the timing?
"I ask you, is your goal the Sage's Blood?" Nangong Nayue stared at Shichen seriously.
"No, that's not it." Shichen looked sincerely into Nangong Nayue's eyes: "My arrival at Itogami Island was indeed an accident. I just discovered the Sage's Blood and absorbed it as well."
"Really? I'll reluctantly believe you then."
"Natsuki-chan..." Toki smiled.
"Hmph~ Don't be too happy yet, you've already been discovered." Nangong Nayue snorted coldly, reminding her.
"We've been discovered?"
"Your magical outburst just now has been noticed by many people. Many people are definitely not at ease with that astonishing magical power. You better watch out now, or I won't be able to take you in."
"What should we do then?"
"What else can we do? Just act as usual. It's no use hiding from people who can spot you, and it's pointless to hide from people who can't."
"Too."
"And aren't you afraid of getting into trouble now? Your strength has been restored?"
"Not yet." Shi Chen spread his hands helplessly.
"Hmm?" Nangong Nayue looked at him in confusion.
"I don't have any familiars yet, I only have magical power, but I don't even know how to do magic," Shichen honestly said.
However, that's only him now. He couldn't learn magic before because he didn't have any, but Vlame has already taught him quite a bit of magic.
In other words, he can start learning now, but he's not sure if magic is shared between the two systems.
"You don't have any familiars... You're not going to drink a girl's blood to awaken your familiars, are you?" Nangong Nayue asked.
"No, that's not it."
He doesn't have any of that, so how can he be awakened? The most important task now is to subdue his familiars.
However, his familiars are all beasts from other dimensions, and he has no ability to communicate with other worlds, nor does he know if the fragments of divine power can.
"That's good." Nangong Nayue didn't care about him and was relieved to hear that he didn't need to drink blood.
"Okay?" Shichen looked at her sadly. "Then Yue-chan, even if you're jealous, you can't do this, can you? Without a familiar, I'm nothing, aren't I?"
"Shut up!" Nangong Nayue glared at him irritably. "Who would be jealous? I just don't want to see you going around in heat and sucking blood... And what do you need a familiar for? Just be a good teacher."
"No, the Fourth True Ancestor is about to awaken. What if we get caught up in it?"
"What did you say?" Nangong Nayue stared intently at Shichen. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, the Flame Banquet is about to begin, and it will be held on Itogami Island," Tokihama frankly stated.
There was nothing to hide; he had already told her beforehand, and this gave her time to prepare.
"..." Nangong Nayue's beautiful brows furrowed, she bit her lower lip, and her face was gloomy.
"So, I need to be able to defend myself. I love Itogami Island, I love our home, and I don't want anything to happen to Itogami Island."
"Our home..." Nangong Nayue murmured to herself as she looked at the time.
After Shichen mentioned it, she suddenly became concerned about her home, even though she hadn't felt anything about it before.
Her home is no longer just her home.
"I swear, everything I said is true!" Shi Chen held up four fingers, his tone serious.
"...What do you need? Can I help you?" Nangong Nayue looked at Shichen with a complicated expression.
"Don't worry, Nazuki-chan, I won't do anything reckless or put you in a difficult position."
"So what exactly do you need me to do?"
"Ahem, could you teach me the art of spatial manipulation?" Shi Chen asked shyly.
"Huh? You want to learn the art of spatial control?" Nangong Nayue was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.
"Is it not allowed?" Shi Chen blinked. "I'm your younger brother, so it's only natural for me to learn spatial manipulation techniques, isn't it?"
"...Now you know I'm your older sister?"
"We're outside, aren't we?" Shi Chen said with a smile.
"I can teach you, but whether you can learn it or not depends on yourself."
"no problem!"
"Then let's go back to school first, and I'll teach you again tonight."
"Okay! Nina, let's go."
"Understood, Master." Nina sat obediently on Shichen's shoulder, but her mind was a little confused.
She seemed to have just heard some terrible news, but who cares? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. As long as she obediently listens to her master, she is free.
Since the master didn't absorb her just now, he probably won't attack her again.
But the master is a vampire... Could he have a special interest in her?
Hmm... it's not impossible.
