Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

The so-called magic eye is a desire for magicians.

{Seeing} is the first magic in human history.

Strictly speaking, there is no superiority or inferiority among the five senses.

At least for humans, they are all indispensable parts, but it is undeniable that vision is responsible for the most in terms of processing and collecting intelligence.

Because of this, in most areas, mysterious or incomprehensible natural phenomena are explained as eyes.

The sun and the moon are often regarded as the eyes of the sky, and the Eye of Horus in Egyptian mythology is a vivid example.

In addition to these distant examples, natural phenomena that can be detected by humans by chance, such as the eye of the storm, have in turn influenced mythology, turning many gods related to wind into one-eyed images, such as Odin in Norse mythology.

The same is true for the crater. It is often regarded as the eye of the earth, flashing red light in the dark night, and the goddess related to it is also endowed with a demonic and violent side. The connection between Medusa and Gorgon in Greek mythology comes from this.

The sky, storms, and the earth are all the magic eyes of nature, which are always monitoring humans and will cast their eyes when necessary to punish criminals.

In Chinese culture, when seeking justice or praying, the phrase "asking God to open his eyes" was born in this context.

Even in modern times, this influence has lasted for a long time. The Masonic symbol that often appears in conspiracy theories is the all-powerful eye of the Trinity of Christianity, or the black hole, which is also known as the eye of the universe.

Because of this, although the magic eye, like the magic circuit, is a natural talent, it is far rarer than the number of magicians because it is a semi-independent organ, or even the materialization of a certain phenomenon and privilege.

Based on such theories and realities, and the fact that the magic eye has only one project, is easy to activate, is used secretly, and has considerable power, people in the other world are even more eager to get it.

So much so that today, for a magician, having a magic eye is a symbol of first-class level.

Even artificial magic eyes that cannot guarantee stability are expensive, not to mention those naturally powerful magic eyes.

With such a huge demand, a corresponding market is naturally born.

The magic eye collection train has gradually grown in such an environment.

At the beginning, its selling point was just due to the founder's preference. While collecting magic eyes, it also provided transplantation technology services.

But as time went by, it gradually established a good reputation and began to act as a middleman.

They would issue invitations, take out duplicate collections in the form of auctions, or help customers in need to exchange magic eyes for more valuable things such as money or materials.

Especially in recent years, after a certain Miss Aozaki who did not want to reveal her name messed up the auction with her familiar, it became even more famous in the upper floors of the clock tower.

After all, many magicians have personally experienced how difficult or heretical the puppet master is.

The fact that it can continue to operate after being destroyed by her is a proof of its foundation.

"If it is a magic eye collection train, maybe it can help me better understand and use these eyes."

Alterluqi looked at the black lines that became clearer and clearer as she stared, thinking secretly.

As Zhu Yue's successor, she certainly has a natural magic eye.

But she can be sure that her original magic eye definitely does not have the function of observing these ominous lines.

After several experiments, even at the cost of acting as Roland's human pillow, after confirming with power, Alterluqi realized that her magic eye seemed to have been mixed with a new ability.

After the girl's test, whether it was a tree or an animal, whether it had injuries or not, as long as she cut the line, it would die directly, just like the lifeline was cut off.

The time when this ability was born was after she fought with the Pale Knight and donated her blood to Roland, when even her existence was so thin that she almost disappeared.

It is hard for Heiji not to associate this ability, which can be said to be born after a near-death experience in many ways, with the legendary evil eye demon king Barol, whose magic eye can kill everything with just a glance.

"Mystic eye of death..."

Born strong, Altruci will not categorically believe that she has obtained the legendary magic eye.

After all, until now, she can only see the lines on life and cannot interfere with inorganic matter.

But it is undeniable that the girl has high expectations for this new ability.

Even if it cannot be as exaggerated as the demon king in mythology, or even this magic eye has nothing to do with it, but is just a similar flower, that is enough.

If the potential of this ability can be further developed on the current basis and it can be involved in invisible things, she may be able to get rid of the contract on her body.

In this regard, it is not an exaggeration to say that the technology and information of the magic eye collection train are the best in the world.

After all, artificial magic eyes are fine, but natural magic eyes cannot be plug-and-play like Sharingan.

If a magician really did something so rash, his head would explode like a ripe watermelon when his optic nerve was connected by the healing magic.

Many natural mystic eyes are themselves a symbol of a certain phenomenon and privilege, and like special natural features, they can only be born by coincidence.

Even the original owner may not be able to maintain the balance of the body and be dragged into the abyss of death by the magic eye, let alone an outsider?

Even if the neurological rejection reaction is ignored, the difficulty of successfully transplanting a powerful magic eye is no different from cutting off the storm or magma of reality and then inserting it into the human body.

How abnormal such a miraculous technology is can be seen from the fact that even an existence like Altluchi, who is so high-minded, has remembered the legend of the other party.

If the current crisis can be solved with everything going smoothly, it will undoubtedly be the best result for Heiji.

Otherwise, after the incident, if the Holy Church or other ancestors of the dead apostles discover her abnormality, those guys will definitely swarm over like sharks smelling blood.

When the girl thought of the scene where her black and white knights followed the news, she seemed to have seen her being shattered in this suffocating and chaotic vortex.

Although she knew that a chaotic environment would give birth to many opportunities, it also depended on who was targeted.

Policies that can affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people may be just a few words from politicians.

It was just the ancestors of the dead apostles and the church, plus a little chaos caused by magicians. In Roland's view, it was probably not a whirlpool at all, but a puddle that couldn't even wet the upper of his shoes.

Altluqi quietly turned her eyes and caught Roland's figure in her field of vision with her peripheral vision.

As usual, in the tangled lines, the other party's figure was like the moon in the water, illusory and perfect, without any flaws.

On the contrary, she only watched with her peripheral vision for a moment, but her eyes and head began to heat up.

No.

Don't try to understand Roland, not even a little bit.

The girl took a deep breath and warned herself again.

Because she had long been accustomed to using the magic eye, Altluqi did not need to use the magic eye to assist in manipulation, but because she had just obtained it for a few days and had not yet understood the ability of this magic eye, she would occasionally forget this.

"Alterluqi."

"Hmm?"

Kuroji was startled when her name was suddenly called, thinking that her little move was discovered, but Roland just smiled and glanced at her, then quickly turned his head.

"Get ready, the car is coming."

As if to confirm his words, the floating mist rushed over like a beast that found its prey.

Then, the invisible mist trembled, and the loud whistle like an opera sounded.

"Okay... I understand, Master."

Alterluqi closed her eyes, as if she was recalling, and without Roland's reminder, she quickly entered her role.

It must be said that Alterluqi's acting skills are surprisingly good.

The experience accumulated in the past and the natural talent have given the girl an unimaginable learning ability.

Clearly, she and Roland maintained a subtle cold atmosphere a second ago, but in just a blink of an eye, this indifference turned into an inorganic feeling like a doll.

Even if the coldness on her body had not melted at all, looking at the girl's impeccable manners, she would only give people the feeling of a silent maid.

Roland chuckled and looked in the direction of the railroad tracks.

There, a ray of light had split the white mist in two.

Along with the graceful wheels crossing the railroad tracks, a locomotive spewing thick smoke appeared.

Although the smoke was so dense that it almost blocked the view, strangely, there was neither ash nor stench in it.

It was just like the whiteness that stretched out like a fairy tale fantasy, like a fairy picking clouds and spinning clothes.

But what was surrounded by this whiteness was not a dragon riding on the clouds, but a majestic dark gray body made of steel.

Because the prototype came from the famous Zeppelin airship and it was an experimental model, this train, which was built at great expense, had a beauty that transcended the times.

The streamlined structure was heroic, and it would not make people feel out of place even if it was placed in a more sci-fi work.

On the stage of the Sea of ​​Mist, this attitude overlaps with the Flying Dutchman that had to wander forever in the sea because of the curse a long time ago.

As the speed gradually slowed down, after stopping at the platform, the elegant door opened, as elegant as watching the knights in line saluting.

But for Roland and Altluqi, they care more about another feeling under the material.

"It's a very interesting design. Is it a moving alien world created with the train as the main body?"

Roland nodded with appreciation, "What a good taste. I have also imagined watching such an alien transportation tool to travel around the world in a disaster environment. It would be even better if it could be transformed."

Then it's not a train at all, but a super robot!

Although she wanted to complain like this, Altluqi still held back when she thought of her identity as a maid.

The girl's pupils dilated slightly, and the expression on her pretty face became serious.

Taking the initiative to enter other people's enchantment is the same as taking the initiative to put your hand into a tiger's mouth.

The construction of barriers is a compulsory course for magicians. As long as a suitable barrier is set up, it is not difficult to fight across levels.

In the five battles in the original work, Rider Medusa has demonstrated the power of forcibly extracting life force, causing the creatures inside the barrier to fall into slow death, and converting magic power into her own.

Although the barrier of the magic eye collection train in front of him is more inclined to expand the space into another world, it probably also has the function of sealing.

The situation of entering it is probably similar to being swallowed by a snake.

What's more, the other world itself exists to cooperate with the living environment of the aliens. Although it cannot be seen from the outside, who knows what is hidden inside.

It would be fine if it was in the past, but now Altluqi can't deal with it like Roland with this attitude like a picnic.

Altluqi's eyes rolled, and she didn't stand side by side with Roland anymore, but quietly took a step back.

"?"

Looking at Miss Heiji who protected him in front of him, Roland's mouth twitched slightly.

Obviously, she was not restricted by the disappearance of power, and after sucking his blood, she became stronger in all aspects compared to before.

But maybe because the recent battle targets were him and the Pale Knight, Altluqi's character became more and more cautious.

However, such a development is not a bad thing.

Roland grabbed Fufu, put it on his other shoulder, and stepped onto the train first.

After entering the corner carriage, what came into view was a huge space that could not be seen from the outside.

In the center of the carriage was a huge bar, on which were piled various fresh fruits, and a huge bouquet of flowers in a metal bottle, emitting a pleasant fragrance.

The gas lamp emitted an orange-yellow light, illuminating the surroundings, but it was not dazzling, but instead created a warm atmosphere.

In the private room separated by sofas and low tables, the range has been divided into twos and threes.

For people in the other world, in a strange place, it is an instinct deep in the bone marrow to know what position their strength should be in.

The rule that foreign magicians must visit the manager before they can move freely when entering the main spiritual vein is a continuation of this point.

Therefore, even those who got on the train first did not enter the room, but stayed in this public carriage to observe others.

In such a serious and depressing atmosphere, although those who could receive the invitation were either rich or noble, or very special, they all looked cautious and careful.

The familiar people occasionally talked in low voices.

So, even though Roland came in with the pretty Altuluchi wearing a Japanese maid outfit, no one made any comments on this somewhat strange master and servant. Everyone maintained a serious expression and observed in secret.

Except... a petite girl.

Almost from the moment she saw Roland's face clearly, she let go of the fingers that were playing with the silver hair and stared at him with amber eyes.

"Roland?!" (End of this chapter)
