"Ugh …."
The Fireweaver slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a cold, monotonous, and empty room.
What the hell happened?
The Fireweaver shook her head, trying to wake herself up. She had come to the campus city to retrieve the 'Body Catalog'. After discovering the 'Body Catalog', she attacked, but was stopped by a short-haired girl. The two fought fiercely, but there was no clear victor. Then ….
The cold concrete floor was littered with traces of battle.
"Although I don't know which faction you're from, this is as far as I'm concerned."
The Fireweaver stared coldly at Lahm, who was standing opposite her. The blade in her hand did not move at all. The opponent's magic was very strange. It was different from any magic that the Fireweaver had ever seen. It did not seem to be a spell that was produced by some kind of belief or characteristic, but more like a spell with a special mechanism.
But in any case, since the opponent was a mage, it meant that a magic association was involved. She had to retrieve the 'Body Catalog' immediately to prevent her from being used!
The Fireweaver gripped the hilt of her blade tightly. But at that moment …
"Yo, you're not done yet?"
Suddenly, a leisurely voice sounded. Upon hearing this voice, Ram, who was confronting the God Rending Inferno Weave, lowered his arms and stood to the side respectfully.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Fangzheng."
"You don't have to apologize. Hmm … I know you can definitely deal with her, but … Hmm, it's better if I can save some of my mana."
"Yes."
At that moment, the Fireweaver saw a man quietly appear beside the short-haired girl. He reached out his hand and caressed the short-haired girl's head, then looked at the Fireweaver.
"Well then, let's end this farce. I'm still waiting for my supper."
I'll die — —!
The moment she was stared at by that man, the God Rending Fireweaver suddenly felt a sense of absolute fear for no reason. It was only a brief moment of confrontation, but she could feel that it was as if death was about to befall her!
"Seven Days, Seven Blades — —!"
At this moment, the God Rending Flaming Weave erupted with all her strength. This wasn't to win, but to survive!
But …
"Pfft!"
Fireweaver did not even see how the man did it. She only knew that the man appeared in front of her the next moment, and then … she lost consciousness.
"… So, I was captured?"
She shook her head and stood up with great difficulty. Only now did she realize that she couldn't use her strength as a Saint at all!
What was going on?
At this moment, the Divine Rending Fireweaver realized that she was wearing a golden bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet looked so fragile that the Divine Rending Fireweaver could break it with a light flick of her finger. However, it was so sturdy that the Divine Rending Fireweaver couldn't break it no matter how many times she tried.
"Ugh … Ugh …"
At this moment, another voice sounded. Fireweaver turned around and saw a tall, red-haired man lying not far from her. He was also covered in wounds and looked even worse than her.
"Steele!"
The Divine Rending Fireweaver called out her companion's name and rushed to his side. Steele barely opened his eyes when he heard the Divine Rending Fireweaver's call. He blinked a few times, then looked at the Divine Rending Fireweaver with a bitter smile.
"I'm sorry, I seem to have failed …"
"No, me too."
The Divine Rending Fireweaver lowered her head dejectedly when she saw the seriously injured Steele.
"In fact, we seem to have been captured."
"What?!"
Steele's eyes widened in shock. He stared at the Divine Rending Fireweaver in disbelief. He could not imagine that the Godsplit Fireweaver would say such a thing. After all, the woman in front of him was not an ordinary person. She was one of the less than 20 Sages in the world. Her strength was second to none even among the Magicians in London! But here, she was actually caught?!
"The opponent is stronger than we thought. I couldn't even fight back …" The Divine Rending Fireweaver was speaking the truth.
If it was the short-haired girl, she was confident that she could put up a fight, but the man who appeared behind her …. But when faced with the man who appeared behind her … the fear she felt was like a mouse seeing a cat. She could instinctively feel that this was an opponent she absolutely could not defeat.
"Tch — —"
While the two of them were speechless, the tightly shut door suddenly opened. The Divine Rending Fireweaver and Steele looked up nervously at the door. Rahm and Rehm were standing there, staring at them indifferently.
"Big sister, big sister, the captives seem to have woken up."
"Rehm, Rehm, it seems we can take them to Lord Fangzheng now."
The two of them seemed to be talking to themselves. Rahm looked at the Divine Rending Fireweaver and Steele.
"Come with us. Lord Fangzheng wants to see you."
"… … …"
The two of them looked at each other, stood up helplessly, and followed Rahm and Rehm out of the room.
They didn't have any other choice now.
Following the two maids, the Divine Rending Fireweaver and Steele came to another room. Compared to the previous room that looked like a warehouse, the room in front of them was obviously more lively. In front of them, Fangzheng was playing with the kitten while yawning. Tears Zuotian was also sitting beside him. The injuries on her body had all been healed by Fangzheng's healing spell, so she wasn't as miserable as Steele.
After bringing the two of them in, Rahm and Rehm stood behind Fangzheng. Fangzheng was playing with the kitten in his arms while looking up at the two of them.
"You're still alive, not dead, right?"
"… … …"
They didn't know how to reply to that.
"Alright, sit down. I'm only doing this because you're from the British Puritanism. If you were from the Vatican, I would've sent you to the crematorium long ago."
Fangzheng snorted coldly and said.
Fangzheng wasn't wrong. The reason why he spared Divine Rending Fireweaver and Steele's lives wasn't because they were important NPCs, but because they were members of the British Puritanism. In the Akkad world, Fangzheng had also worked for the secret service agency HELLSING for a period of time, and HELLSING was also a member of the British Puritanism. Therefore, he showed mercy and let them live.
If it were those idiots from the Vatican, they would've been turned into ashes in a matter of minutes.
However, after hearing Fangzheng's words, tears jumped out of her eyes in surprise.
"Eh? Mr. Fangzheng? Are they from the British Puritanism? Isn't Inticas also from the British Puritanism? Why would they want to kill Inticas! "
"… … Because she doesn't remember us."
The one who answered this question was not Fangzheng, but Divine Rending Fireweaver. She lowered her head and clenched her fists.
"Inticas has lost her memory of a year ago. She has completely forgotten about us … In fact, we're not only her compatriots, but also her good friends … But she doesn't remember us, and she doesn't remember the real reason why she was being chased. So, she can only rely on her own knowledge to judge that we're magicians who want to snatch the 103,000 grimoires, so she chose to escape from us. "
"But, but why are you chasing after her?"
Tears didn't know what to say in response to this answer.
"Since you're good friends, as long as you reveal your identity, you can leave with her, right? Why do you have to use this method to kill that child? "
Divine Rending Fireweaver seemed anxious when she heard Tears' question. She lowered her head and answered in a low voice.
"… … Do you know about the ability to remember everything?"
"Yes … …"
Tears, of course, knew about it. Previously, she was quite envious of Inticas's photographic memory.
"In fact, Inticas didn't lose her memory, but I erased it."
"… … Huh?"
Lei Zi was completely dumbfounded by the answer. As for Fangzheng, he stretched out his hand to play with the kitten in his arms.
The kitten stretched out its paw, meowed, and patted Fangzheng's finger, then hugged it and stuffed it into its mouth.
Oh my, kitten, you're so, so, so cute!
"Why, why did you do this? Aren't you her friend? "
"Because if I didn't do this, she'd die."
"… … …"
"I've said it before. 85% of her brain capacity is used to memorize the 103,000 grimoires. She can only use 15% of an ordinary person's brain capacity. If she continues to memorize like an ordinary person, her brain will be saturated, and her life will be in danger. There are still three days before the next memory erasure. That child has already developed severe headaches. This is a sign. "
"How … …"
Hearing this, Lei Zi, who had just stood up in excitement, fell back into his chair, feeling lost.
Fangzheng yawned and picked up the kitten again.
The kitten stretched out its paw and stepped on Fangzheng's chest.
Oh my, kitten, why are you so cute!? Rub!
"That's right! Mr. Fangzheng! "
Tears snapped out of her daze and looked at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, is what she said true?"
"… … …"
Fangzheng did not say a word. All he did was silently take out a book and throw it to Lei Zi.
"What's this …? Cognitive neuroscience? "
"Memorize it tonight. I'll do a spot check tomorrow."
Fangzheng glanced at Tears.
"It's fine if all mages are illiterate, but are you also illiterate? Go back and memorize the book. "
"Eh? Wait! Mr. Fangzheng! Don't … … Huh? Are you saying that … they're wrong? "
"Nonsense."
Fangzheng yawned.
"There are many people in this world who have photographic memories. Besides, 103,000 books, even if they aren't spellbooks, after a few decades, wouldn't that be the number of books a person could read? According to what they said, more than one or two people have died … … Absolute memory is a rare talent, it's not like there's only one person in the world who has the attribute of a savior. "
"But, they just said that Intecas has been having headaches recently … … Intecas did have such symptoms!"
"Yawn … …"
Faced with Tears' rebuttal, Fangzheng yawned.
"Tears, have you ever read a wuxia novel?"
"Wuxia … …?"
"Let's put it this way, I'll tell you a story. There was a powerful martial artist, her name was Heavenly Mountain Tonglao, she was the master of Heavenly Mountain Misty Peak's Spirit Vulture Palace, she ruled 36 caves and 72 islands — — simply put, you can just assume that she was the leader of dozens of underworld gangs. But with so many people, some will betray her. Do you know what method Heaven Mountain Tonglao used to prevent them from betraying her? "
"What is it?"
"Heaven Mountain Tonglao made them take a poison called 'Life-and-Death Talisman'. When this poison takes effect, it will make them wish they were dead. The only way is to get the antidote from the Vulture Palace every year. Because of this, the gang leaders are completely loyal to Heaven Mountain Tonglao and would never dare to betray her. Because if they betray her, they won't be able to get the antidote, and they will die. "
"Oh … … I see … …"
Lei 'er nodded, and then suddenly came to a realization.
"Wait, Mr. Fangzheng, you mean, in order to prevent Intecas from betraying her, the British Puritans poisoned her?!"
"Something like that. Anyway, it's a similar collar used to tie up dogs."
"But, but Intecas doesn't seem to know about it … …"
"Nonsense, of course we can't let her know. Think about it, she has 103,000 magic books in her head. Maybe there's a way to crack it in one of them. If Intecas knows about it, what if she cracks it herself one day? So … … "
As he spoke, Fangzheng pursed his lips at Steele and Godsplit Fireweaver.
"Are you going to lie to these illiterate people? Mages are all illiterate anyway. Even if I told them that 4G signal can cook their brains, they would still believe me. Wouldn't they believe me the moment they heard it? "
"You bastard … …!!"
Hearing this, Steele stood up angrily, but Fangzheng just glanced at him.
"Shut up, I don't want to talk to illiterate people. I feel like talking to you is an insult to my intelligence. You're just like those idiots who listened to the rumors on their social media and went to demolish the base station. Idiocy is contagious. Stay away from me, go go go."
As he spoke, Fangzheng waved his hand disdainfully.
"You … …"
Steele was obviously unconvinced, but before he could say anything, he saw an iron ball fly past his cheek.
"Don't be rude to Lord Fangzheng."
"… … …"
Looking at Ream not far away, Steele hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down obediently.
After all, his life was more important.
But Tears didn't care about these trivial things. Instead, she just stared at Fangzheng.
"Mr. Fangzheng, can you help Intecas?"
"Of course."
Facing Tears' request, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"It's nothing."
