Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Aozaki Chengzi looked at everything in front of her in silence. The room was obviously still the same room, dark and messy, but against the backdrop of those gems, it actually gave her a strange illusion of being glowing.

She didn't know which thing she should pay more attention to now, this astonishing wealth or the strange power revealed by Roland?

It was obviously her own workshop, but she had never noticed where this ninja-like familiar was hiding and how he took out this wealth.

But one thing is undeniable, her heart is moved.

Although she is not a money fan in the broad sense, Aozaki Orange does have a very high demand for money. The research that allows her to devote her mind to has very high requirements on energy and financial resources. Therefore, at many times, she owes a lot. After the debt was incurred, I reluctantly withdrew from research and began to make money to pay off the debt. This was also the original purpose of establishing this firm.

After a moment, Aozaki Chengzi was about to say something, but Roland continued to speak.

"If you really complete the second commission perfectly, in addition to this deposit, I can also give you a lost treasure, which will be tens of thousands of times this deposit."

Aozaki Orange was still sitting on the sofa, but the indifference in her eyes had completely disappeared. She calmly calculated the pros and cons and said calmly:

"Based on the request, let me ask you first, in the second request, you don't have such embarrassing thoughts as adding my magic circuit to your blood, right?"

"Miss Orange's magic circuit? - Are you talking about the descendants?"

Roland's eyelids twitched and he came to his senses. Although he himself did not necessarily ask for an heir in this relationship, from a magician's point of view, this was probably a search for a suitable mother body.

After all, in the magic world, some down-and-out magicians sell their genetic factors, and intermarriage and marriage between various families are all too common. As long as you are good enough, in terms of absorbing genes, there are many magicians in the world. At that time, it was even more incomprehensible than the real world.

Although Roland has no interest in this, as long as he thinks, he can use the water of life as the basis to create a group of descendants that are completely obedient to him, but this is obviously not what heaven needs, and descendants who let nature take its course are a bit troublesome. .

The more powerful a life is, the harder it is to give birth to children. This is common sense.

In addition to the fact that he no longer needs to rely on descendants to inherit, Roland, who possesses such power, has long transcended the meaning of a creature. His existence itself is already a miracle.

And the possibility of reproducing this miracle, even if it is only a trivial part, is extremely low.

However, Aozaki Orange's words really reminded him.

"Is Miss Chengzi interested?... Although you are not in the first batch of my candidates, you are still qualified. If you are willing to accept this commission..."

"That's the point?"

Aozaki Orange's eyes narrowed, and he didn't know whether to feel lucky or angry that the other party didn't like him.

The puppeteer took out a cigarette box and lighter from his shirt pocket, took out a lady's cigarette and lit it, showing a thoughtful expression.

Originally she just wanted to give the other party a small lesson to deal with it, but due to the effect of Qian's ability and Roland's wonderful attitude, she became somewhat interested.

Judging from the attitude that even he is included in the target, the more the merrier, the other party does not seem to be preparing for a pure bloodline inheritance.

She certainly has this hope for the illusory origin, but that is more of an instinct for the profession of a magician. Aozaki Orange prefers to complete the remnants of the world.

Both the runes and the puppet technology were reborn because of this, but this did not mean that her research on other large-scale rituals was difficult.

As a collection of talents, Aozaki Orange can do very well no matter what she does. What's more, she has spent almost the first half of her life studying in the direction of large-scale rituals, using herself to promote the subtleties of everything in the world, and to He lives as a 'Magician Egg'.

"If pure wealth is not enough to make Miss Orange devote herself, I can also give other conditions, such as... a promise, how about it?"

Roland then added, looking at Aozaki Orange in front of him calmly. He was obviously the one who initiated the commission and needed help, but now, the initiative in the conversation between the two was completely controlled by him. On hand.

Is it a requirement for a large-scale ceremony?

Leaning on the sofa, Aozaki Orange blew out a smoke ring as if he was deeply relieved.

"Promise...what exactly can you accomplish?"

"Everything that conforms to the common sense of everything can be basically done. Just treat me as an ordinary wishing machine. However, the degree of your wish is still determined by how much you complete the commission. This can be written into the contract."

"I need time to think about it."

Aozaki Yuko is by no means an innocent girl who can be deceived by a few words. Although from the perspective of a magician, she is still quite immature. If she followed the normal route, she might be called a 'prodigy' like Kenneth, but Her experience is quite outstanding.

She knew very well that for some higher-dimensional beings, contracts had no binding force, and her former familiar was like this.

If the other party regrets it, it would be better to choose the money in the first place.

However, Aozaki Orange will not have any bad feelings because of this behavior. No one stipulates that after signing a contract, they must be honest with each other. Even if the contract breaks down, it is only because the person who signed it was too stupid.

If it were her, she would put forward a request that she could do right away at the moment she completed the commission, with concise words and clear purpose, maximizing her own interests as much as possible within the allowable range, and leaving no room for regret for the other party. space.

Moreover, the other party did not force herself, but gave her the opportunity to choose. If she was unwilling, she would not lose money if she chose simple money, which is enough to prove that this promise has a certain degree of sincerity.

The specific quality is still unknown, it is about a gamble.

But even though Roland's conditions were very relaxed, Aozaki Orange still hesitated. Although there was no basis for it, she had a hunch in her heart that once she agreed to this request, it would have an unimaginable impact on herself.

After all, it is the truth that if you don’t gamble, you won’t lose. Judging from past experience, choosing money is the wisest option.

But it was so rare to encounter such a being who was willing to help her, and it was rare for her to be willing to join in this carnival.

Even the free and easy puppet master cannot defeat the past.

...thinking of a certain woman's face.

Aozaki Orange exhaled a puff of white smoke from the depths of his lungs again, watching them disperse in the air.

Her eyes turned cold again, and she subconsciously put out the cigarette in her hand.

More testing is needed, and she can make a judgment based on the other party's level of strength and willingness to pay.

"When the first commission is delivered, I will definitely give you the answer. In return, you don't have to pay the deposit for the first commission."

"oh?"

Roland laughed, snapped his fingers, and under Aozaki Orange's hungry wolf-like eyes, the dark ninja slowly retreated into the shadows holding the gem.

Even asking Aozaki Orange, who started accepting commissions for money, to voluntarily give up the deposit, which shows how shaken the other party's heart is.

And as long as there is this wavering, everything will fall into place in the future. It seems that this jar of gems may be used by the next unlucky person...

"Then I'll just wait for the good news."

Roland stood up and prepared to leave.

Such refreshing behavior made Aozaki Orange a little surprised.

"It really makes me happy to be so trusted by my customers. If that wealth and the technology with the power of space to freely summon familiars in the shadows were exposed, it would cause quite a fuss."

During the previous conversation, Aozaki Orange had been watching from the beginning to the end, trying to analyze the existence form of the familiar that Roland had just summoned and the magic system contained in it.

This is not malice, but the instinct of a crowned magician.

It is a technology very similar to the inherent barrier. Even a parallel importer like Darnic can detect the fact that Aozaki Orange cannot find any clues.

"If you are exposed, even if they know that I am here, I am afraid that the group of hyenas from the Magic Association will pay more attention to you, and 80% of them will be in the category designated by the seal. You don't seem to be worried about this at all. What’s the situation?”

Although the seal designation for today's magic association is more like that group of rotten guys used to exclude dissidents, its lower limit is still determined. It is also one of the highest honors for magicians that is not inferior to the three primary color rating.

To become a seal designator, at least one of two elements must be met.

Emiya Kiritsugu's father was awarded the title of Seal Designation because of the research direction that has a high probability of reaching the root cause.

But compared to the first item, which relies on talent, the second item is much simpler.

——Achieved technology that cannot be copied.

In the magician's worldview, so-called power ultimately comes down to 'mystery'.

This word brings with it the code that all magicians must hide. The more people know about it, the faster the mystery will be diluted.

In the Age of Gods, because the Great Source was in good condition, this point did not receive much attention. However, in the modern era where the Great Source is gradually drying up and the future of mystery may disappear as time goes by, concealment has become a consensus.

Because of this, the mystery that cannot be reproduced or understood, in addition to having great research value, often represents the power itself. Under the banner of righteousness, the Magic Association often gives seal designations to such people. name.

"Things like that don't matter at all...and I believe Miss Orange won't seek death."

Roland spread his hands and showed a calm smile, as if he didn't notice Cheng Zi's temptation at all.

"Really? Even now in my workshop?"

Aozaki Orange held a cigarette and looked at Roland with interest.

As if to prove her statement, the messy dolls around them suddenly twisted and moved on their own. Even those unfinished products quickly grabbed the surrounding limbs and placed them directly into the gap regardless of whether they fit or not. s position.

After a while, the twisted puppet monster raised its head at the same time and stared in Roland's direction.

"Although we have a good conversation, I still have reservations about customizing dolls. If you don't believe it, do you want to try it yourself?"

In response, Roland responded with a gentle smile.

"No need, because isn't the winner already decided?"

When he said this, the puppeteer suddenly noticed that the atmosphere around him changed.

Some kind of higher-ranking, oppressive existence appeared in this workshop.

This gap in life forms caused Aozaki Orange's body to instinctively warn her to run away.

But the already keen puppet user only looked more solemn and concentrated on feeling this abnormality.

Then she understood the source of this coercion.

It's not that she saw through the root of this personality difference, but the experience brought by her career as a puppet master.

As a puppet user, this is how she feels when she looks at the puppet, but now her status is reversed.

The beautiful girl with pink hair appeared from behind Roland as if she had transcended the distance of space, with a chilling smile on her pretty face.

The puppeteer didn't even notice how close she was.

"Master, what should we do?"

Ying Man's real name looked at Aozaki Orange, who was waiting for him, and said in a low voice.

Her posture was as elegant as that of an aristocratic woman attending a ball, but her smiling voice made people feel shuddering.

"According to my idea, it is better to cut off that dirty body! Cut it up! Chop it into pieces! In order to repay the disrespect."

"You can't be naughty, your real name. Miss Chengzi has no ill intentions, she just wants to test my strength. Although it cannot be a reason for pardon, she is still quite useful and she is very beautiful..."

Roland responded to Yingman's real name seriously, as if he was really thinking about her proposal.

"Moreover, she is not that afraid of death, and the follow-up treatment will be very troublesome."

The reason why Aozaki Yuko became the undisputed number one puppet user is not because she reproduced the puppet technology and was able to mass-produce battle puppets with the same performance as hundreds of years ago.

At this level, it will only become a new pearl in her title, and it will not reach the level of seal designation.

The reason why she was actually sealed was because in the process of searching for the prototype of her body, she discovered the technology to make a doll exactly like herself.

The so-called doll technology allows you to create dolls that are superior to humans, but it is impossible to create something identical to yourself.

This highest-ranking puppet master has long been guided by the principle of ‘With such a puppet, doesn’t it mean I don’t need myself? ’ This kind of thinking prepares the dormant self. Once the subject dies, its memory will be transferred to the prepared body to wake up, and then continue to be reincarnated through this method.

Because the made doll was the same as the prototype, she didn't know which one it was.

But because they are exactly the same and only one orange is active at the same time, she quoted the "Schrödinger's cat" paradox: Although each one may be created, because there is no way to distinguish, each one is The oranges are all real.

This kind of will to abandon the prototype without hesitation made Roland feel a little scary. If the other party hadn't shown quite humane emotions in the matter of the Aozaki family, and she was more technically special, she would have been The first echelon exists.

However, the immortality achieved by changing the body cannot be said to be omnipotent. Although Matou Zangken is not as good as her, he also has similar skills. How to deal with the soul that decays over time is the key to immortality. .

Even so, for Roland, she is still a bit trickier than Matou Zouken.

According to the analysis of Thousand Wisdoms, Roland can see that Aozaki Orange uses the exact same wavelength brought by the body and spirit to bring the soul down, which can be easily dealt with with the divine power of the sheep.

But the trouble is, the determination in this technology will not stop due to the loss of the soul. The next body will still inherit the memory and spiritual awakening of Aozaki Orange. After all, such an existence is born from the inherited memory of Orange. A new soul, or is it really just a doll that has lost its empty shell?

Roland couldn't be sure either.

"Hey, it's really troublesome, so just be more serious."

Yingman smiled and took a step forward gracefully.

Then, on the ground she stepped on, the purple crystal clusters that began to grow in the shape of petals continued to spread. At the moment when they fully bloomed, a pure white cup emerged from the center of the bud.

The void held by Sakura Man's true name, who exists in the world as a fully resurrected Eve, carries the deepest religious sense of the Apocalypse virus.

When used by her personally, although the power was different, in terms of form, they were all mysterious and powerful treasure phantoms with special attributes.

"This is the Holy Grail."

Yingman's real name said with a smile, in the world of Xingyue, the Holy Grail has many meanings, some are fakes made by magicians, some are holy relics that hold concepts, and some are the cup of wealth that hides disasters. Although the sources are different, But the Holy Grail used by the real name is more sacred than Roland has ever seen.

What emerges from the center of the radiant Holy Grail is a symbol of the disaster suffered by fanatics who disobey God's teachings. They are densely packed locusts with scarlet pupils and full of life.

They covered the room in an instant. After bypassing Aozaki Orange, they crawled all over the dolls, destroying their ability to move.

"At this level, it should be enough, right?"

"I don't know, Miss Chengzi, what do you think?"

After a while, Aosaki Orange, who had just put the extinguished cigarette to his mouth, silently threw away the cigarette in his hand and crushed it several times with the toe of his high heels.

"That's enough. Consider the first commission as punishment for my rudeness. I will do it for you for free. As for the second commission, please let me reserve my opinion."

"Then, please leave it to me to do the magic eye killing thing."

"You can come here and pick up the goods in a week at most."

Roland, who had spent nothing and spent nothing, naturally had no objections. He walked out calmly. The few who passed by the door seemed to have not participated in the battle just because they were not high enough, so they were able to do so. When he saw the surviving doll, he suddenly stopped again.

"By the way, Miss Orange seemed to have misunderstood my words before, thinking that I was biased against puppet technology."

"There is no such thing," Aozaki Orange also stood up and said calmly: "Having this female companion by your side is already better than any other doll."

"The misunderstanding I'm talking about... refers to this view of using strength to judge the quality of technology. Could it be that in Miss Orange's mind, I am a guy who pursues practicality so much?"

Roland smiled distressedly and helped up the puppet next to him.

"So, it's really faster to let me demonstrate it directly. This is why even the most outstanding puppet has no effect on me."

He gently stretched out his hand and touched the doll's chest. There seemed to be a different kind of light blooming in the true red pupils.

Aozaki Orange watched this scene nervously, moving his fingers slightly, ready to use rune magic immediately when an abnormal situation occurs.

For a moment, the entire magic studio seemed harmonious, but the next moment, there was new movement, breaking this delicate atmosphere. That was

——The sound of heart beating.

"This is?"

Aozaki Orange's cold expression finally changed, and he looked at the doll made by himself with incredulous eyes.

The blank doll that was supposed to be a dead thing actually gave birth to a heartbeat.

First, the chest rose and fell slowly, and then the fingers began to move one by one, just like a person recovering from a serious illness who is getting familiar with his body.

Then, with the eyelids trembling slightly, the doll opened its eyes, looking at everything around it with empty and confused eyes. Then, its eyes locked on the stunned Aozaki Orange, and it staggered forward. He walked over and called out.

"……Owner."

Aozaki Orange gently held the doll's shoulders, feeling the warm skin and the vitality beating in it, and surveyed the other person's situation in detail.

But no matter how she confirmed, she could only get this answer.

This is a blank doll made by her own hands, with no soul or living parts imbued into it, and it exists as a dead thing.

Giving life to dead objects is already the authority of the legendary gods, and is completely beyond the scope of the puppet master's imagination.

What had she been talking to all this time?

She looked at Roland with some horror, but he still maintained a leisurely and contented attitude, with a hint of teasing in his eyes as he looked at her.

It is really pleasant to see Aozaki Orange, who is always confident, showing such an appearance.

"This magical power of turning stillness into motion can last for about a day. Just think of it as my gift to Miss Orange. Regardless of whether you accept the second commission or not, I look forward to seeing you again."

Roland nodded towards Aozaki Orange, and left the workshop with Ying Manzhen. It was getting late outside, and it was almost time to go back.

But after the two left, Aozaki Orange still didn't come back to his senses when he saw the curious man walking around in the workshop, playing with the debris, and soon began to consciously clean up the blank dolls around him.

After a while, she smiled bitterly.

Although today was undoubtedly a loss-making business, not a penny was obtained, and a lot of the carefully crafted dolls and workshops were ruined, and a pair of magic eyes were used to kill them, but judging from the results, even if this is put aside She seems to have made a lot of money from the dolls.

"If you can be called a master by such a monster, and add this kind of power, the meaning of the second commission will be completely different. There are not many candidates who meet the conditions, and even fewer who are worthy of the other party's identity."

Aozaki Orange took out a cigarette again, bit the cigarette holder hard, but did not light it, thinking about everything that had just happened.

"...However, if a magician is targeted and a witch girl is given as a gift, I think even such a being... would be interested in it."
