Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

"This...what on earth is going on? Could it be that my ability is ineffective?!"

Tianchuan Gong stretched out his hands, and with a thought, the phone in his left hand instantly moved to his right hand.

This means that the ability can still be used, but you cannot walk outside or escape, whether by walking or teleporting.

She looked at the people around her again, and they could indeed move freely and come and go.

"Is this magic targeting only me? It must have been done by Lidvia." She turned around angrily and walked back into the hotel.

When she walked into the hotel, she saw Lidoviya still sitting there sipping tea, calmly waiting for her return.

"Lidoviya, did you do it? What did you do?" Tianchuan Palace slammed his hands on the table angrily and asked loudly.

She simply smoothed her worn monastic robes with her hands and said calmly, "I told you, Miss Tianchuan, magic does exist in this world. The reason I showed you all this is so that you can believe in magic."

"You...how did you do it?"

In response to Tianchuangong's question, Lidoviya pulled out a roll of pale yellow parchment and explained, "Do you know about witch hunting? It's the decree on witch hunting issued by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484."

"Anyone who believes in paganism will be affected by this decree. This spiritual item I hold in my hand, called 'Witch's Cage,' is the original decree that mandated the witch hunt."

"The rules of witch hunting at the time were that anyone who exceeded a certain distance would be shot by a silver arrow. As long as I set the rules to be scientific in Academy City, then no one under the scientific rule of Academy City will be able to escape the control of this spiritual equipment."

Tianchuan Gong was shocked and swallowed his saliva: "What did you say? Why did you do this to me? Why did you use this spiritual equipment on me?"

Lidovia put the parchment into her monastic robe and said, "Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't activate this spiritual garment just to imprison you. I activated it when I arrived at this hotel last night."

"As for the purpose, it is to prevent those who are trying to find out about me from escaping."

But Tianchuan Palace didn't want to hear that and shouted angrily, "So you're treating me like a witch? I was trying to save you before, you bastard!"

Faced with these questions, Lidoviya remained neither happy nor angry, but simply said frankly: "You are from Academy City, right? Now, according to my settings, only people from Academy City will be trapped by my spiritual suit. If possible, I actually hope that you can get out at that time."

"What? You want me to go out." Tianchuan Gong tried to calm down.

Lidoviya nodded. "Yes, I think I've expressed my opinion before. I'm not the kind of person who likes to execute heretics. I want to save them. No matter how evil they are, I want them to return to goodness, not to mention you who are kind to begin with."

Suddenly she talked about another thing: "Six months ago, I met a man who was looking for a solution for his unfortunate child in Academy City. At that time, I found that the people in Academy City are also good people. They are just blinded, just like you."

"I wasn't deceived." Tianchuan Palace retorted.

Lidoviya was stubborn: "Barbaric places like Academy City are simply public enemies, just like Sodom and Gomodor."

"Ms. Tianchuan, you are a good person. You think this way because you were deceived by Academy City. I don't blame you. I just included you in the list of people to be saved. I want to save you from Academy City."

Faced with this statement, Tianchuan Gong laughed angrily: "I don't think I need to be saved by you."

"Then what are you going to do? You can't leave now anyway, so why don't you sit down and listen to me? Maybe you will change your mind after you understand more about magic and believe in its existence?" Lidvia said earnestly.

In Lidvia's view, for Tianchuan Palace who is deeply trapped in Academy City, just showing her magic can make her doubt the existence of science, give up the idea that Academy City is correct, and join the Roman Orthodox Church.

Now I can't escape, and there's no guarantee of winning if I fight. What's more, the other party doesn't pose any life threat and is just wasting time here.

Anyway, I am not in danger. The worst that can happen is that I will stay here until the "Apostle Cross" fails. Do I have to kidnap people then?

Tianchuan Gong reluctantly sat down and looked at the other party suspiciously: "Then can you promise that you can let me leave freely after you finish speaking?"

"Of course. If I fail to convince you, that's my own problem. Even if you want to leave then, I have no right to stop you." Lidoviya answered respectfully.

Tianchuan Palace was lost in thought, and the huge hotel lobby became extremely quiet. Even the sound of things falling to the ground could be heard, and she could even hear her own breathing.

"Stay." This thought came to Tianchuan Palace's mind. Although Lidoviya was a very stubborn, eccentric and extreme person, there was really no way to escape at the moment, and the other party had no ill intentions.

Besides, he also needed to learn a little about the magical side ahead of time. At least on the surface world, the entire magical side was still dominated by the Roman Catholic Church. Talking with someone like Lidoviya, who was at the top of the Roman Catholic Church, could also provide him with some magical knowledge. Even if he couldn't use it himself, it would still be a good way to cope.

Tianchuan Gong regained his calm tone: "Okay, go ahead. Since you said that, I would like to ask, since you want to tell me magic, why don't you just show me the magic book."

"Alas, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. You can't read the magic book directly, not even me. The magical knowledge is too pure for the human brain to handle." Lidoviya shook her head with a hint of regret.

Tianchuan Gong secretly snorted, blaming like a child throwing a tantrum: "Then why are you telling me all this? You can't watch it, and you can't learn it, but you still tell me so much. What do you mean by this?"

As someone who has read the original work, Tianchuan Gong certainly knows that things like magic books cannot be viewed directly. Except for the person in the Forbidden Book Index who can ignore the pollution of the original knowledge, no one else, even a powerful magician, can do this.

But she said it this way deliberately to create a difficult problem for Lidoviya, making her afraid to show it to herself, but unable to speak for herself, thus muddying the waters.
