"Huh?"
So Rozen, who was walking in the alley, suddenly stopped and stared ahead, and his eyes began to become a little intriguing.
Seeing Rozen's behavior, Shue Cai also stopped.
"Did you notice it?"
Shue Cai asked in a low voice with some admiration.
Rozen shrugged.
"Although it's not very obvious, even a veteran magician may miss it, but unfortunately, I have already seen the flow of magical power."
For Rozen, who had the Spirit Vision ability, as long as there was a flow of magical power in front of him, it was basically impossible to hide.
Therefore, when he came here, Rozen immediately noticed it.
"There is a barrier here, right?"
Rozen said with certainty.
"Yes."
Shue Cai did not hide it, and frankly admitted it.
"Please follow me."
After saying that, Shue Cai walked forward.
The girl probably wanted to lead the way for Rozen, so that Rozen wouldn't wander around.
Of course, Shue Cai was not worried that Rozen would get lost because of the barrier, but she was worried that the barrier would be broken by Rozen instead.
After yesterday's confrontation, Shue Cai understood that Rozen was a more powerful magician and spellcaster than she thought. It wouldn't be too difficult to break the barrier.
In that case, it was more appropriate to lead the way for Rozen and take him to the destination.
However, Shue Cai still underestimated Rozen.
"There's no need to go there." Rozen shook his head, stared at the barrier in front of him, curled his lips, and said: "After seeing this barrier, I used the flow of magical power to push back the center of the barrier. The whole barrier exists to protect that place. That should be the place you want to take me to, right?"
If that was the case …
"Let's go there directly."
Rozen snapped his fingers, and the space around Rozen and Shue Cai swayed.
By the time the space stopped swaying, the two of them had arrived in front of a building.
It was a short building made of red bricks. It was located in the middle of the VIP street full of couples' hotels. It was like an outsider that was out of place, occupying an area.
"We … we've arrived?"
Xue Cai could not conceal her wavering.
"He actually sensed the destination through the barrier and directly teleported here …!?"
Such ability once again refreshed Xue Cai's understanding of Rozen.
On the other hand, Rozen didn't seem to mind it at all. He raised his head and observed the building in front of him.
The windows are lined with historic stained glass.
An old, faded sign hung on the door.
From the appearance of the shop, it seemed to be an antique shop that sold imported old furniture. On the modern Flux God Island, this was an extremely rare ancient brick building. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like a cheap grocery store.
"This is the place you want to bring me to?"
Rozen turned around and looked at Xue Cai.
"Y-yes."
Only then did Xue Cai react. She took a deep breath and calmed down the astonishment in her heart before explaining.
"This is the Lion King Agency's office on the Flux God Island. It's specifically responsible for contacting or resupplying the dispatched personnel."
Xue Cai's explanation was not out of Rozen's expectation.
"So that's why it was built in this kind of place?"
Rozen nodded.
The special buildings in Ban No. 6 were very densely packed, and there were many blind spots in terms of spells.
The Lion King Agency made use of this characteristic to set up an office for contacting people. From the outside, it looked like a deserted antique shop in order to not leave a clear impression. Moreover, there was a barrier to repel people. Perhaps even the Artificial island management commune would not notice this place and neglect to manage and explore it.
"So this is the reason why you often come here?"
Rozen said as if he was relieved.
"Yes. Is there a problem?"
Xue Cai looked a little puzzled.
"No … nothing."
Rozen hurriedly averted his gaze, lest the girl saw through some of his thoughts.
"Why do I feel so suspicious …"
Xue Cai frowned. She was probably concerned about the strange behavior of Rozen's group.
It seemed that this girl really did not know the true purpose of this hotel street.
He really hoped that she would have some self-awareness to avoid any unnecessary rumors from spreading.
"In short, please come with me."
Xue Cai sighed as if she had decided not to pursue the matter.
Then, Xue Cai stretched out her hand towards the door of the antique shop. The wooden door creaked and the solemn doorbell rang as she walked in.
Rozen was not very cautious and directly followed Xue Cai in.
The next second, the panoramic view of the antique shop appeared in front of Rozen.
Just like the appearance, the inside of the shop was filled with all kinds of old antiques.
However, Rozen sensed hidden magic and spiritual power from these antiques, and even the fluctuations of spells.
Obviously, the antiques here were not ordinary goods.
Spells, weapons, magical equipment, and so on. The antiques here were probably similar, or ancient relics that had derived magic and spiritual power over a long period of time.
Of course, they might not all be owned by the Lion King Agency. Most of them should be dangerous seized goods that were recovered by the Lion King Agency.
The person in charge of these things was not only the person in charge of this place, but also the person who could speak on behalf of the Lion King Agency.
"It's later than I thought. Can't the young people nowadays respect the old people a little more? Don't make us wait?"
Such a voice mixed with some complaints came out of the shop.
It was a somewhat straightforward and free voice, like the crisp and sweet sound of jade hitting each other.
The owner of the voice was not a human, but a cat.
In the direction of the counter in the shop, a black cat was lying there, looking at them. Its eyes revealed an extremely vivid intellectuality and vicissitudes of life.
Seeing this black cat, Rozen immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Shikigami?"
Indeed.
The black cat in front of him was someone's shikigami, and its master was remotely controlling it through a method of sharing senses with it, using its mouth to speak.
In other words, the true person in charge of this place was not here, but somewhere far away.
Perhaps the other party was in another corner of the Flux God Island, or perhaps not in the Flux God Island, and was only acting in his place through a shikigami.
This wasn't something that was difficult to accomplish. As long as one was able to control Spirit-branded Retainers, they would more or less be able to do the same thing. The only difference was how much sensation they could share with the Spirit-branded Retainers, and how far away they could control them.
If it was Rozen, even if the shikigami was in another country, he would be able to share senses with it and control it like a clone.
And the owner of this black cat, even if he was not as good as Rozen, he should not be too far off, right?
Xue Cai put down her guitar case, knelt down on one knee, and lowered her head.
"Lord Master."
Xue Cai greeted the black cat and addressed it as such.
It seemed that this person was Xue Cai's master.
"Ji Zhuo, Xue Cai has brought the target, Nangong Yaori, please instruct me, Lord Master."
Xue Cai said politely and respectfully.
"Well, you can listen on the side first."
On the other hand, the black cat said in a casual tone, turned its head, and looked at Rozen.
"You're Gap Witch's younger brother, right?"
The black cat said.
"I am Fate Hall, the person in charge of the Flux God Island office, and also the mentor of the Sword Witch trainee there."
"Please instruct me."
"Original God's Child."
