I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Rainbow light.

It is made up of the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue intertwined, rotating the intertwined colors. Original and concise, with an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After the familiar rainbow light, there is an even more familiar voice.

"Rider, Velvet? Are you okay?"

On the battlefield below, Weber was covering his face, and Gray, whose face was covered by his cloak, curled his lips in a weird way.

Shen Er's body trembled while he was in the air, and his face changed drastically. For a moment, all thoughts of chasing the enemy and "beating the snake to death, but leaving its harm behind" were all forgotten, and he couldn't even think about the familiar rainbow light.

At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind.

Damn it, damn it, damn it - why is she here?

Because he was so familiar, there was no way he could hear her wrong, just like he couldn't hear Justeza or Sakura's voice wrong.

The wings of the feather shoes turned, and the flight direction changed accordingly, from tracking the darkness deeper than the night to the rainbow light that was more brilliant than the rainbow after the rain.

Head on.

The moment he appeared in front of the rainbow light, Shenji was sure that his judgment was correct, it was her.

The person wrapped in the rainbow light obviously also saw him. He screamed in surprise, then turned suddenly and flew to the other side in a slightly embarrassed manner.

How could Shinji let it go? Even if Luo A is let go, she will not let her go!

Then followed a turn. The feather shoes made by Hermes, the messenger of the gods and messenger god, are first-class flying Noble Phantasms. Although the Noble Phantasm is not rated high, and although it cannot match the Pegasus Pegasus in terms of absolute speed, it can move in short distances and In terms of maneuverability, it is far beyond what Bekasas can achieve. This kind of close-range air blockade pursuit is its strength.

No matter how Hong Guang changed directions or maneuvered to evade, he was blocked one by one by Shen Er who was wearing feather shoes, and in the end he almost got close to his face.

In desperation, the people inside Hongguang could only stop dodging and slowly fell to the ground, revealing their true appearance obscured by the three primary colors.

The long flaxen hair is combed into a ponytail and hangs down the back of her head. Her delicate face is no less beautiful than any woman present, and her innate nobility is unmatched by anyone.

The pinnacle of modern magicians, Her Majesty the Queen of the King's Landing Clock Tower, Lord of the Legal Affairs Department, and Shinji's nominal boss, Bartholomew Lorelea!

A person who is impossible and should not appear here anyway - at least Shen Er thinks so, so the first words after standing up are neither a greeting nor a joke about meeting an old friend, but a cold expression. face question.

"Why are you here?"

This was the second time that Shinji spoke to Lorelaiya in such a tone since the two met. The last time was in 1998, when the two met for the first time. Shinji didn't know Lorelea's identity and became enemies of each other.

Perhaps because she knew she was in the wrong, or perhaps because she felt uncomfortable with Shenji's long-lost stern voice, Lorelaia did not answer, but stared blankly at the boy in front of her who was a few years younger than herself.

This reaction made Shenji feel even more anxious, and his voice could not help but become a little louder:

"Answer me, why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

Perhaps being stimulated by Shenji's attitude, Lorelaia raised her eyebrows stubbornly and pushed back, looking like a queen.

"You——" Shenji was so angry that he raised his voice even louder, "——Do you know your identity?"

"What is my identity?" Lorelaia also got a little angry and her voice became louder.

"You are the contemporary Bartholomew, assistant to the dean of the Clock Tower, and the most powerful person in the entire Clock Tower. Do you know-"

Before Shinji could finish speaking, Lorelaia crossed her arms and interrupted with a sidelong glance.

"Oh? You also know that I am Bartholomew. I thought you didn't know."

After saying this, Shenji realized that he had gone too far, and his anger gradually subsided.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions because I suddenly saw you appear. However, please also understand your position and importance. When you sit on the position of lord, you represent not just you, but thousands of people." Tens of thousands of magicians follow you and follow Bartholomew. To put it a little more extreme, any one of us can cause problems, but not you! No matter what your plans are, put them down first and go back to London. Your business Weber and I will do it for you.”

"Shenji..."

Lorelaia, like Shinji, eats soft things rather than hard things. Knowing that he was worried about her, his tone softened.

"No, it's too late."

"Chi, why is it late? As long as you are willing to go back, I will ask someone to make arrangements immediately. Even if you want to charter a flight, it can be arranged tomorrow morning."

"That's not what I meant. You can see for yourself."

Lorelaia said as she opened her sleeves, revealing three red marks that were somewhat similar to the coat of arms of the Bartholomew family. Shinji's pupils shrank at that moment.

"Command Seal, you-"

"Don't get me wrong. Velvet and I didn't take up the quota in the clock tower. That quota was given to Bazett. You should know that."

"Then how could you?" Shenji did know this news, but because he knew it, he was confused.

"After Hatreth did what happened, you left in a hurry so you didn't know. After you left, the predecessor of the Command Seal, 'Stigmata', also appeared on my body, Velvet, and possibly others. We I was worried that something might have happened on your side, so I decided to come over and have a look. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Velvet.”

"That's right."

After Roa and his party retreated, Iskandar did not pursue them, but went to the wounded Kagemusha, while Weber chose to watch Lorelaia and Shinji to avoid problems between the two.

"Then why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

For this problem, Lorelaia was well prepared.

"Before asking this question, think about your attitude on this matter. You have always been secretive. Neither I nor Velvet nor Al-Meloy have revealed any key information. Even if you hope Velvet joins the war and has no intention of forming an alliance with him. If you treat us like this, it is normal for us to treat you like this."

"..." Shen Er was speechless.

Because it involves the "Third Magic" and the "root" of the magician's supreme pursuit, it must be kept secret, especially not known by the association, so he didn't let it out at all, for fear of something happening.

Because he knew Iskandar's character and was afraid that he would cause turmoil in the world, he deliberately kept a distance from Weber to avoid getting along too much and becoming too familiar with him, and he would not be able to kill him during the final duel.

These considerations were not wrong from Shenji's point of view, but in the eyes of Lorelaia and Weber, they were a sign of distrust.

The relationship of trust is mutual. If it has nothing to do with the matter, that's fine. If it does, it's still the same attitude. Even if we have been friends for many years, we will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. A small revenge is understandable.
