Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 435 Sword and Magic
Just as Gin was enjoying the two people playing, Kaito, who was spinning like a top, spotted him with his sharp eyes and shouted miserably: "Uncle Blade! Save me! Stop looking!"

Gin: "..."

Is Kaito really tied up? Didn't they say that no one can trap him?
Koizumi Hongzi, who was spinning the top, turned around and saw Gin dressed in black. She fell silent and then silently put down the whip in her hand.

How come this person came up without making any sound?

"Uncle Blade? This person is the one Kaito mentioned..." Koizumi Hongzi's mind moved and she recognized Gin's identity.

However, without knowing Gin's background, she did not speak first, nor did she take any action. She just used magic to increase the strength of the confinement on Kaito.

Kaito: “…”

Help! He's being strangled!
Gin looked at Koizumi Akane curiously, and for a moment he forgot about Kaito.

He received a call from Kaito, saying that his witch classmate wanted to see him, so he rushed over after sending Bourbon away.

Of course, he realized he was driving in the wrong direction halfway through the journey, so he quickly turned around...

As for why Gin agreed so easily, it was entirely out of curiosity about "witches" and "magic".

In the past seventy years, he has never seen a creature like a magician.

"You are the young magician?"

Seeing that Koizumi Hongzi was also looking at him warily, Gin thought the little girl was shy and spoke first, "You are the only one in your family? Don't you have any brothers or sisters?"

I hadn’t asked Kaito for specific information before, and I didn’t know what the situation was with this witch named Koizumi Akane.

But for something like magic, it would be best if it could be sold wholesale.

Koizumi Hongzi was slightly stunned, and paused for a few seconds before answering: "No, it's just me."

"Where are the parents?"

"……No."

"Um...it's okay, I don't have any either."

Koizumi Hongzi: “???”

This person... has a rather unusual way of thinking.

And he seems to be easy to talk to?

Koizumi Akako observed Gin carefully and unconsciously used her own magic.

Unexpectedly, when she injected magic power into her eyes and looked at Gin, she saw something incredible. She took two steps back in shock, "You, your soul..."

"……what?"

Gin, who was thinking about how to get the witch to join his organization, raised his head.

But the next moment, Koizumi Hongzi regained her composure and shook her head, "No, nothing... I heard from Kaito that you practiced something called 'Qi'?"

There was a hint of detectable fear in her eyes when she looked at Gin, but she didn't reveal any of her emotions when she spoke.

Hearing the other party mention training, Gin also put aside the matter of recruiting people and said with interest:

"Yes, but it should be similar to the 'mana' of you Western magicians, right?"

"This... I have never come into contact with the thing called 'Chi' before. Are you a warrior from the East?" "Yes and no... Never mind, just consider you to be one." Gin thought about it and gave an ambiguous answer.

Koizumi Hongzi didn't care about such small details, and continued: "As for mana, red magic is mainly transformed by absorbing the scattered natural energy in the world, and Qi should be cultivated by oneself, right? In this way, our cultivation systems should be different."

Gin tilted his head, "Really? But the 'chi' we practice can also be found in nature. To put it bluntly, what we practice is Yin Qi, and the Yin Qi produced in the Yin Gathering Land can also be introduced into the body through certain breathing methods, but that kind of practice is a shortcut and will have relatively large sequelae."

"Yin Qi? Absorb it directly?" Koizumi Hongzi's eyes widened. "You, you can directly absorb high concentrations of Yin Qi for your own use?"

Yin energy is also called evil energy in her opinion.

If a normal person is infected by Yin energy, he will either get sick or encounter some accidents, such as having nightmares every day or choking when drinking water. Moreover, his body temperature will be lower than that of normal people over time, and his physical condition will gradually become worse.

Gin touched his nose, feeling a little guilty: "Uh... yes, if you cultivate yourself and release your energy, the Yin energy in nature will be like a tonic."

For example, if his energy is overdrawn, it will take one or two days for him to recover naturally. But if he is in a place with abundant yin energy, he may only need to stay there for a minute or so, which can also help heal his injuries.

The reason why Gin felt guilty was because the martial arts they practiced were evil in nature...

Whether it is this world or his previous world, it is considered the Dharma Ending Age. The number of people who can successfully embark on the path of cultivation is almost zero given the huge population base.

So when I was practicing in the beginning, I just took out all the best things in my mind and showed them to them. As long as they could successfully get started, it didn't matter what technique it was, they just had to practice it.

As a result, in Gin's previous life, he only realized what he was practicing after he had achieved a small success...

Koizumi Hongzi was a little stunned: "Ah, that's really, amazing..."

Taking evil energy as a tonic... Is this an evil practice?

Damn it, what organization did Kaito sacrifice her to?
she likes!
"Well, um, Mr. Blade! I wonder if I can have the honor to observe?" A flame called 'passion' suddenly appeared in Koizumi Hongzi's eyes, and she stared at Gin without blinking.

In a sense, the red magic inherited from her ancestors can also be considered an evil magic, because the source of their power is the devil!

"Okay." Gin raised his eyebrows. "It just so happens that I also want to see what magic is."

He felt that this young witch wizard had been dragged onto a pirate ship by him... No, no, he had led her onto a bright and smooth path.

but……

Gin was a little confused about how to show his "qi".

Because normally, he would use his Qi to either cool himself down, or to quickly freeze water, or to kill people…

After thinking for a while, Gin raised his hand and said, "If I'm angry, it's probably..."

He placed his hands on the iron frame next to him.

The temperature of the iron tower after being exposed to the sun all day was still quite high, and Gin felt it was hot when he touched it.

But the next moment, a chill surged out from the palm of his hand, and the slightly biting cold instantly overwhelmed the slightly humid air and passed to the two people next to him.

Then, there were a few "cracking" sounds, and the iron frame was suddenly covered with a thin layer of ice.

"That's about it." Gin put his hand down, "But the utilization rate is relatively low and the consumption is also high. It would be better to use it directly on living things."

Those with lower resistance can even be frozen to the point of losing the ability to move.

Those with strong resistance will be stiffened by the cold for a while... just like when they faced Chablis.
