Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"Time travel... What a bold idea. This is already a technology close to magic."

Roland shrugged, smiled playfully, and did not answer the question immediately.

Regarding the technology of time, it is also a very high-end research in the clock tower. Emiya Kiritsugu's inherent time control technique has pointed out the path to the root in the research direction, which is enough to prove its gold content.

Not to mention such exaggerated things as time travel, whether it is going back to the past or going back to the future, it involves the possibility of world line changes and even parallel world branches.

"Yes, this is undoubtedly the level of magic, but simple time travel is not enough to show the full extent of magic, so I have doubts about it."

Aozaki Chengzi spread his hands, but gave the answer with firm words.

Time travel may be part of magic, but it is not the whole picture of magic. She is quite confident in this judgment, as if she has witnessed it with her own eyes.

"oh?"

Roland raised his eyebrows, thinking of something, and the smile on his lips grew.

"Even if time travel is not the complete picture of magic, the level of this technology is definitely close to the level of magic. Even if the act has not yet begun, it may cause the heroic spirits in the realm recording tape to come to interfere driven by the restraint force. It’s a very dangerous act.”

Roland slowly picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.

"——But yes, Miss Orange, you guessed it right, I can indeed do this."

Ever since he received the prophecy from Guanbuzi's mother yesterday, Roland had considered whether he really had to go back to the past.

After all, although this technology is difficult, it does exist in the world view of Jackie Chan's Adventures, and there are many methods.

By creating specific time and space cracks, then using extreme speed to control the scale, choosing the desired time point, or reaching the pinnacle in the field of air magic, you can create a time and space gate.

As a Saint, Xiaoyu has had many personal experiences with time travel. Whether it was using her father's magic to travel back in time, destroying dragon teeth, or coincidentally using the rabbit charm to meet Jackie Chan as a child, it was obvious. example of.

As one of the roots of the world, qi magic has a very high gold content. In addition to all kinds of outrageous special attacks, its upper limit is also very outrageous. In the original work, Dad, Tohru, and even his apprentices all showed the ability to travel through time and space. of magic.

As a demon wizard who stands at the top of the world, it can be seen from the fact that the Holy Lord can take out special props such as crystal balls that can return to the correct time when he is sealed. He is naturally quite accomplished in this regard.

After all, the time travel they created is not linear, and there will be no convergence like fate. The Dragon Teeth were destroyed in the past, and the Holy Lord will not be resurrected due to the Dragon Teeth magic in the future.

But since there is no closure, traveling back in time certainly has advantages, but it does not mean that everything will go smoothly.

For wizards who truly know the truth of the world, the confrontation between righteousness and blackness is still going hand in hand. If you gain an advantage, the other side will also be strengthened. It is far less useful than the history books that determine everything, so it is naturally shelved by the Holy Lord. .

But it's completely different in Xingyue. Because of the black energy and root style, Roland at least doesn't have to worry about being at a disadvantage, and naturally has much less worries.

"Although I was mentally prepared, when I actually heard it, I was still so surprised that I didn't know what to say."

Aosaki Orange was silent for a while and said lightly.

Her attitude was much calmer than Roland thought.

It was as if the marks left on her body by the past few years had suddenly disappeared. What hung on her face now was a rational smile that belonged exclusively to the magician.

After obtaining the known conditions and goals, her previous sharp edges seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and she began to think about everything she needed to do based on the perspective of a magician.

"In this case, I can already respond to your second commission. I would like to have a two-way commission with you while accepting the second commission."

"Two-way commission? It's really amazing that this word comes from Miss Orange who made even the Clock Tower give up the pursuit."

Roland asked with interest: "Do you want to be rewarded with time travel itself?"

"Yes, in addition, I hope to get your help while completing the second commission."

Aozaki Orange said calmly.

"So, what can you get for me?"

"A living magician, and a precious mother body that is no less cherished than her, a contemporary fairy tale witch."

Aozaki Orange said with a smile, a trace of reminiscence flashed in her eyes.

"Whether it is the handling of magic or the ownership of everything they have, I will not interfere in the slightest."

Roland looked at her with a strange expression.

When they first met, Aozaki Orange's money-obsessed nature left a deep impression on him, and now he has become so free and easy.

It can only be said that the satisfaction gained from personal grudges may even surpass many things for Aozaki Orange.

"Since the relationship between the two of us is not yet to the point where I can express my unconditional trust in you, let me ask you a question before I give an answer."

Roland spread his hands and asked curiously.

"Aozaki Orange, what do you want to redeem when you go back to the past?"

The huge living room fell into silence again as he spoke. Although it was a question, his tone was very firm.

This made Aozaki Orange subconsciously put her hands on her glasses, wanting to take them off and switch to a colder personality, but after considering Roland's identity, she still did not make such a move.

However, even so, Aozaki Orange's eyes were much colder.

For her, this incident was the deepest scar in her heart.

"Although I have indeed shown no interest in the future, being so sure is a bit too much for a lady."

"It's just that Miss Orange made it too obvious. The scene where a puppeteer who can even abandon herself can imagine the future is a bit funny. Even if I know nothing about you, I also know that a strong person takes the initiative to mention time travel. When I was there, most of the time I wanted to save something."

Roland spoke softly, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"And I heard a certain red narcissist say before that you seem to have lost to your sister in the fight for inheritance?"

"Tsk,"

Aozaki Chengzi looked at Roland who was still looking calm, as if she was not going to continue talking without explaining, and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"You are right, I want to go back to the past and fight a new battle for revenge."

She didn't seem to want to get entangled with Roland on this issue. She sighed softly and took the initiative to confess her purpose.

"In the past, I once returned to Japan and started a battle with the current heir of the Aozaki family, my sister, in my hometown Misaki City."

"Many years ago, my grandfather, the last magician and the head of the Aozaki family, deprived me of my inheritance and gave it to my sister. After that, I left my hometown and came to the Clock Tower to seek revenge. Gather strength.”

"Although I have heard that this happens when there are two heirs in the Demonic Family, but this is the first time I have encountered it in reality."

Roland seemed to be thinking of Sakura and Rin, and he smiled unconsciously. However, compared to the situation of the Tosaka family, the situation of the Aozaki family was much more complicated.

"If this is really the case, then I would feel much better,"

Roland's words seemed to affect Aosaki Orange's thoughts. She leaned her body against the back of the sofa, turned her head sideways, and looked at the brilliance reflected on the glass by the morning light outside the window.

"Before the inheritance rights were transferred, I was always raised as a 'Mage's Egg'. The sisters of the Aozaki family took different paths. I have always believed in this."

"Then, all the achievements I had made after giving everything was easily denied by my grandfather, because 'she' was more favored by magic. But since I was born in a demonic family, I will not complain about not having the right to choose. What I cannot tolerate is her attitude."

Speaking of this, Chengzi's voice became extremely cold, and the warm morning light seemed to be split into countless fragments in her lenses. The chaotic memories continued to pass by, letting a cold anger like a snowstorm permeate her entire body.

This has nothing to do with personality switching, but the truest emotion of Aozaki Orange's existence.

"The path of a magician is not suitable for her. This is an innate difference. Therefore, I do not intend to blame her for this matter, but her behavior made me very angry. She took away what I was pursuing so hard, but She put on a distressed look, obviously she could have easily embarked on that path if she wanted to, but she just refused to do it.”

"Just like guarding the boundary between normal people and magicians, stubbornly staying on the other side, treating the other side as a burden. To be honest, after practicing in the clock tower, I am not very interested in magic anymore. For her The hatred has also weakened a lot, but as long as this hatred is not eliminated, the fate of blood between us will not come to an end."

"So, after I was fully prepared, I returned to my hometown, intending to destroy everything she valued bit by bit until she realized her own stupidity."

Aozaki Orange stopped talking about the past, because the ending was self-evident. She was defeated by the magician and was driven out of her hometown in despair. In the end, she even broke away from the clock tower and became The designated puppet user was sealed.

"What a twisted story. It's another fate that started because of family property, but in the end it had nothing to do with family property."

Roland couldn't help but complained and asked very calmly.

"In that case, does Miss Orange want to go back in time and change the outcome of that battle?"

Although this grudge is not over now, the gap between magic and magic is obviously not something that ordinary talents can make up. If Aozaki Orange wants to find the possibility of victory, he can only go back to the past.

"Yes, at that point in time, it was my only chance."

The puppeteer took a long breath, straightened his body, and his expression became calm again, completely different from before.

After the failure, she had experienced many things and thought she had gradually let go of the past, but when she talked about her sister, her uncontrollable emotions still broke her disguise.

"Then, Miss Orange, the time you want to go back is when your sister has not yet become a magician. If you need my help, how can you start talking about it?"

Roland asked pretending to be surprised.

"Because I don't plan to go there in person."

Aozaki Orange's expression was far from solemn, but his tone was very serious, and there was no hint of joking at all.

"In terms of time travel, I am a complete novice. Considering the examples I have seen, in order to avoid whether there is the same world, two time periods cannot exist, otherwise it will destroy itself. Law, I plan to learn from someone and let my consciousness descend."

Aozaki Orange raised her beautiful legs wrapped in stockings and looked at Roland.

"I hope you can help me use props to replace the past me with my current consciousness. Although I have lifted the curse that the guy cast to expel me, in order not to alert the snake, and to supplement my combat power, Think about it, this is also the most appropriate method.”

Aozaki Orange's courage to take into account his past self caused Roland to smile meaningfully.

"It's really prudent. As far as I know, there is no iron-clad rule in this world that prohibits contact between the basic world and other worlds... Well, forget it, but where do we start talking about replenishing combat power?"

Without worrying too much about this question, Roland asked pretending to be surprised.

"Judging from objective conditions, Miss Orange's skills should be far better than mine in the past."

"That's true, but in terms of combat power, it's different now. It's no exaggeration to say that I am not as strong as I was in the past. Only the conditions I had in the past are combined with the power I have now. , only then can we have a chance to win.”

Roland raised his eyebrows, looking very interested.

"Could it be that, although your sister has an attitude problem, she is actually very talented?"

"It's just half-baked... Even now, I won't change this evaluation, let alone her childish and stupid look at the time."

Aozaki Orange snorted coldly, and the contempt in her words almost overflowed. Such explicit emotions showed how deeply she resented the defeat back then.

"However, magic is different. The reason why magic is magic is because it is a miracle that transcends modern times. It cannot be considered with common sense. Even if the guy is ineffective, he will inevitably get some light. It is always wrong to prepare for the worst. There will be mistakes.”

"Interesting, but not enough."

Listening to Aozaki Orange's story, Roland gradually became serious.

"The desire to help you time travel is nothing, but as a price for taking action against a magician, it's far less than that."

It's not dangerous, but it's not expensive enough...

Aozaki Chengzi thought to himself, and started to settle for the next best thing.

"Of course I won't be so self-aware, so I just want you to get rid of that witch. She also lives in Misaki City and is barely an old friend of mine. And as a real witch, even without magic, she is still important to me. Quite tricky.”

Cheng Zi deliberately emphasized the word witch, which made Roland slightly lower his head.

"I see, I've roughly understood it, but although I don't mind letting you, Miss Orange, take advantage, judging from the current situation, I not only have to help you complete time travel and update the memories you have in the past, but also You are responsible for getting rid of that witch, and all you did was provide specific information and location."

Roland held his chin up and said calmly: "As a deal, this is a good deal."

"So what terms do you want?"

Aozaki Orange was silent for a while and said seriously,

She would find it strange that the other party had no conditions for a transaction of this level.

She has been mentally prepared, and she will not begrudge even the technology she uses to reincarnate in order to survive.

"Two-way delegation is too troublesome. Let's be more straightforward. In addition to the above-mentioned things, I will help you do it. If necessary, I can even help you as a foreign aid in the battle with the magician. reveal all the details."

Roland looked at Aozaki Orange with a smile, with a hint of determination in his tone.

"And I only need one reward, and that's Miss Orange herself, how about that?"

The reward he wanted was Aozaki Orange herself, including her body, soul, and everything.

The body of the world's highest-ranking puppeteer stiffened and fell into a long silence.

If someone else had proposed such an arrogant condition, she would have been fed it to her familiar. But Chengzi, who had realized that she could not do anything to him, could only give up in frustration in the face of such blatant teasing.

This kind of unreasonable condition has completely exceeded the conventional bottom line. Even the fatalistic hatred is not worth the price.

However, a trace of struggle flashed across Cheng Zi's pretty face involuntarily.

"Then, - the deal is established."

Roland, standing opposite her, stood up and made an assertion.

Aozaki Orange did not answer this, because even after hearing such conditions, she had already proven the answer deep in her heart before she got up and left.
