Rebirth of Japan's Sekiro Legacy

Chapter 428 Crown Puppet Envoy

Rin picked up the teacup and took a sip gracefully.

"However, I didn't expect you to be able to find that place."

"Where, it was just a coincidence that I found a fragment of a doll, so I followed the clues to find the abandoned building."

Nomo Arakawa is not humble, this is an indisputable fact.

Should it be bad luck, or is it the way the spell was originally set, anyway, when passing by that place, the knuckles turned around and flew towards the abandoned building.

Now that I think about it, the magic dress on the doll should have played a role.

The sudden increase in magic power caused the tracking object to misdirect. After all, the magic dress was also injected with magic power by the caster in advance.

The only thing he knows now is that the body of the magician who provides the magic power for the doll is in the direction of Xindu.

But the new capital is so big and there is no exact location or fixed range. Finding people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Rin, I said before that Arakawa-kun found the remains of the doll under the river mouth, right? You were deceived and ambushed tonight. Can this be used as a clue?" Saber asked.

"As for this matter, we need to make a judgment before we know it."

Although Rin already had the answer in her heart, she was still reluctant to admit it, after all, the trouble was too great.

"If you need to investigate, Rin, this is what you asked me to bring back."

Saying that, Saber dragged the amputated limb that Arakawa Sho gave her to the table with a cloth.

Rin kept telling herself to face the reality, so after some mental struggle, she finally picked up the amputated limb and observed it carefully.

"Really, that's basically certain."

Rin sighed deeply.

"What's confirmed?" Arakawa Wang asked.

"Of course it is the identity of the person who took the holy relic."

"What, Rin, do you already know?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Nozomi Arakawa seems to have seen the fur on Saber's head move.

"That's right, you see, there is no cell tissue in this limb. It is just pure wood combined with magic. Compared with the first puppet I encountered, this one is probably an inferior version because of the poor workmanship of both. The technique is exactly the same, so I can be so sure."

But Saber didn't understand.

"Rin, is there any necessary connection between this and the identity of the murderer?"

"No, but Arakawa-kun, have you seen the doll that sneaked up on me before?" Rin said, "What do you think, just tell me your initial impression."

"Yeah... Exquisite, violent, I can't find other adjectives other than that, the six arms can rotate without dead ends, if it's not for its poor detection ability, I may not be able to succeed." Arakawa Wang finished speaking and then He added, "But judging from the arms at the junction of the shoulders, I think the structure of this doll is not much different from the doll I found in the river."

"That's right, these puppets were made by the same person." Rin said slowly, "A powerful puppet envoy who is proficient in runes."

"Rune runes?" Saber frowned, and a blue spearman appeared in her mind, "I remember it was..."

"That's right, a kind of ancient magic, Nordic runes, there are not many people who can master it in modern times, but that puppet envoy is one of them... Not only that, she also built the foundation of the declining rune rune magic , and analyzed several rune characters that have disappeared in the Age of Gods, it is simply impossible to use the word genius to describe it.”

"Who is this person..." Wang Arakawa was confused.

Although Qiu Xue taught him a lot of knowledge about the magic world, it was the first time he had heard of such a strange profession as a puppet maker.Moreover, why would such a powerful person compete for the holy relic?
In his cognition, the holy relics are just props used to summon heroic spirits.

Rin held up a finger:
"This person is a genius magician, a puppet envoy who has been awarded the highest [Grand Title] job—Aozaki Orange!"

"Grand position?" Nozomi Arakawa remembered, "Qiyuki said that the highest rank among magicians is 'crown position'."

"That's right, for so many years, even though she was designated by the seal, she still survived well." Rin sighed, "She is a difficult opponent, although I am very unwilling, but I have to admit that now I am apart from Saber In addition, there is no power to contend with her... No, maybe even Saber can't do anything to her."

"Why is that, isn't Ms. Saber a very powerful Heroic Spirit?"

Arakawa glanced at Saber who was sitting obediently, and asked puzzledly.

"Indeed, if there is a fight, Saber has a high probability... no, she will definitely win." Rin said, "But do you know why Aozaki Touko was given the 'seal designation'?"

Arakawa shook his head.

How could he know such a thing?
"It's because of her puppet magic, and then built the concept of human body imitation. Like Luen, it is an achievement like resurrecting the dead. It broke the 'human can make a doll that is more advanced than human beings, but they cannot copy human beings. This limitation of itself'."

"Rin, that means, can she make a doll exactly like herself?"

Saber quickly grasped the point, and Nozomi Arakawa also understood how terrible this was.

If you possess such superb puppet magic, it means that Aozaki Orange can prepare several or even dozens of dormant selves at any time. Once the living Orange dies, its memory and soul will be transferred to the spare body. Waking up in the middle, and then the awakened Chengzi will make a spare body again...

In other words, this kind of puppet magic can make people achieve immortality!
Because the manufactured body is the same as the original body, even Aozaki Touko herself does not know which one is her most original body, or in other words...every one of her is the real her!

So Saber can't help Aozaki orange.

Because every time she dies, she will be transferred to another body.

In fact, Canozaki Orange had been killed several times by the executors during the process of being designated by the seal, but due to the existence of the spare body, she came back to life and killed those executors.

The woman Canozaki Touko will never die unless all the spare flesh she has stashed is found and killed before she replenishes it...

Nozomi Arakawa never imagined that the person who competed with him for the holy relic was such a troublesome woman.

"Ahh..." Rin put his hands on the ground and let out a helpless sigh, "It doesn't matter, I won't look for holy relics or anything, even if it's an order from the association, just pretend not to see it, Arakawa-kun, look at it For the sake of Brother Qiuxue, I advise you not to go, that puppet artist is a woman that even the Magic Association finds it difficult."

　I can't beat it anymore, can I wait until tomorrow?
