"living room."

Youzhu glanced at the two people who entered the room, uttered a few short words, and then walked into the room on the right.

"She means that you are only allowed to move around in the living room."

Aozaki Aoko spread her hands and explained to Jiang Li.

"This mansion holds a special meaning for Yuzu, and normally no one else is allowed to enter."

In other words, I am alone all year round, and with Qingzi, there are at most two people living here.

No wonder it looks like a haunted house and the weeds in the yard are not cleared.

The room on the right after entering the door is the living room.

There is plenty of daylight in the living room. Two sofas are placed opposite each other with a coffee table in between. An old-fashioned TV is placed on a wooden table against the wall next to it, and there is a red carpet on the floor.

Although I have never heard of the name of Kuonji, judging from this Western-style house, they should be a wealthy family.

"Okay, let's summarize the information first."

Aoko and Youzhu sat on two sofas respectively.

Jiang Li looked left and right, and chose to sit next to Qingzi.

Qingzi lifted her long hair and let it fall lightly on her back.

"From the conclusion, the enemy this time is my eldest sister."

Chapter 237 Combat Power Worth Looking Forward to

2023-06-01

"From the conclusion, the enemy this time is my eldest sister."

Aoko declared her conclusion with a firm look.

Jiang Li paid attention to the expression on her face.

Even when she said this, there was no hesitation or doubt in her expression, as if retreating was not an option from the beginning to the end.

Half a month ago, a corner of the barrier covering the land of Kinoko Town was destroyed.

At that time, Aozaki Aoko and Kuonji Arizuma thought that it was just the same as before, a wandering magician who came and set his sights on this sacred land without knowing the consequences.

This kind of experience can be said to be hilarious in modern society, but it is not uncommon in the world of magicians. After all, every magician is proud to have his own spiritual place.

Shortly after that, Aozaki Aoko discovered Jiang Li, an oddball, at school. His face alone was enough to shake the mind of a magician like her, so she mistook him for the wandering magician who had seized the spiritual land.

The person hiding behind the scenes also took advantage of this and caused Youzhu and Jiang Li to fight.

However, after some communication, the few of them cleared up the misunderstanding.

While the other party was trying to take advantage of the situation by sending out the puppet that looked like Aoko, Youzhu discovered a flaw that was enough to identify the true identity of the person behind the scenes.

"The doll that Yuzu had the Rose Hound eat last night has an internal structure very similar to the structure of a certain barrier technique I'm familiar with."

Aozaki Aoko crossed her arms over her chest, her back straight, and explained clearly.

"Besides my grandfather, the only one who has mastered the structure of that technique is my eldest sister, Aozaki Touko."

The grandfather of the Aozaki family and the previous head of the Aozaki family.

He was also the one who passed on the magic to her.

Aoko subconsciously touched her right arm, where the magic seal of the Aozaki family was engraved, and the magic was also hidden in her body.

On the land of Kinoko Town, there is a barrier built by Aozaki's grandfather, which has the function of gathering the magic power of the spiritual veins in the entire area into one place. In fact, it is to monopolize the magic power, symbolizing the identity of the owner of the Aozaki family's spiritual land.

In addition, there are other barriers used for surveillance, etc., but we will not mention them for now.

The body of that puppet contains a ritual structure, or rather a ritual habit, that is very similar to the barrier; the two are of the same origin.

Besides her grandfather, the only one who knew how to construct that kind of technique was her elder sister, Aozaki Touko.

"If it's an orange, it should be able to bypass the barrier and come in directly."

Youzhu had brewed a cup of black tea at some point, which exuded a rich aroma, and began to drink it. "Even if she wanted to destroy the barrier, it wouldn't take her more than half a month."

"That's right, after all, my eldest sister is the original heir of the Aozaki family..."

Aoko clenched her right arm.

Not knowing what she was thinking of, she bit her lips lightly.

"Is he planning to hide his true identity so that you guys won't be on your guard?"

Jiang Li thought from the other side's perspective and quickly figured out the reason.

"Yuzu and I reached the same conclusion."

Qingzi calmly let go of her arm, nodded in agreement, and glanced at him in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to be able to deduce that from just hearing such a small amount. You're not that stupid!"

"Hahaha, it's certain that she's stronger than Miss Qingzi. I guess you couldn't figure it out right away, right?"

"..."

Another vein popped out on Qingzi's forehead.

I wanted to mock Jiang Li, but I didn't expect that he would outmaneuver me again.

She did come to this conclusion after discussing it with Youzhu.

"But she should know now that the doll has been exposed."

Youzhu glanced at the two of them.

Strangely enough, she actually found their interaction quite amusing.

In other words, seeing Qingzi being humiliated would make her feel much better.

"Now that she knows she's been exposed, she'll probably stop disguising herself and quickly attack the city and capture the stronghold. Furthermore, she actually destroyed another fulcrum last night."

Now that it has been exposed, there is no need to hide it anymore.

This is definitely what Fruit Auntie planned.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should launch a strong attack in the near future.

"There are five fulcrums in the barrier, and two have already been destroyed. Once the remaining three are destroyed, the Aozaki family's status as the owner of the spiritual land will become a thing of the past!"

Aoko concluded solemnly.

The battle for territory between magicians is so efficient.

As long as you destroy the barrier that controls the other party's spiritual land, you can make the spiritual land ownerless. Then you can build a new barrier yourself and report to the Magic Association to become the new owner of the spiritual land.

Of course, simply killing the magus and taking away the barrier would have the same result, and would even save more effort.

In the past two years, four or five wandering magicians had come with this intention and fought against the two of them, only to die tragically at Youzhu's hands.

"Can't we find her the other way around?"

Jiang Li raised his hand.

He liked to turn passivity into initiative, and he understood this after singing a song with Freya.

Being passive is too unbearable, it’s more comfortable to be proactive.

"It's hard."

Aoko shook her head unhappily.

"My eldest sister hasn't revealed her whereabouts yet, so it's really unknown where she will build her own workshop."

In addition, she was already familiar with the structure of the barrier in Kinoko City, so ordinary surveillance magic was useless to her. It would be impossible to find her base without waiting for her to show up in person.

"How about holding on to the fulcrum?"

Jiang Li pondered for a while and then made a new suggestion.

Since the Fruit Lady's goal is to destroy the barrier, she will definitely attack the three remaining fulcrums of the barrier next. As long as she waits and sees, won't she be able to catch the orange?

"That's a good idea. We thought so before."

Qingzi crossed his hands in front of him, looking as if this was a dead end.

"But we don't have enough manpower. If the three of us each guard a fulcrum, our home will be in danger."

Yes.

There is also this question.

Jiang Li suddenly woke up.

So far, their side has been completely in the open, while the Fruit Auntie has been hiding in the dark. She can detect the situation here, but no trace of herself can be found here.

If the fruit lady were to make a sudden advance while they were holding their fulcrum, they would be in big trouble.

The mansion didn't matter - Youzhu valued it very much, but Jiang Li really didn't think it was a big deal - but if his family was taken hostage, that would be the worst possible situation.

Therefore, Jiang Li couldn't leave home easily at night these past few days, just in case.

"Anyway, leave the task of finding her to us. Just wait and fight her when the time comes. Although I'm not very impressed with your character, your fighting ability is indeed beyond reproach."

Qingzi curled her lips and made a summary.

Chapter 238 Youzhu was furious

2023-06-01

In short, Jiang Li finally figured it out.

The only thing you have to do is do nothing.

He just needs to wait for Qingzi and the others to find the orange. This process does not require him to make any effort.

Okay, he was relieved too.

Then Yuzu took out a special piece of parchment with a treaty written on it that both parties would not attack each other before resolving the issue of Aozaki Touko, and finally signed their names.

The self-enforced certification is completed.

This thing is essentially a spell, wrapped around both parties in the form of Geass, with extremely high restrictive power, but it is only effective on magicians. If you violate the contract, you will be cursed with a powerful curse, and even your descendants will be affected. No magician is willing to take such a risk.

Jiang Li pondered for a moment.

I am a magician too, no doubt!

In this way, an alliance is formed.

"I heard from Qingzi that you haven't learned any magic?"

As soon as the certificate was written, the tense atmosphere in the air disappeared instantly, and Youzhu sipped her black tea.

She opened her mouth and tested Jiang Li.

From her perspective, it cannot be said that she is completely uninterested in Jiang Li.

But this interest actually refers to the physical aspect... No, it refers to why his body is so strong. Ordinary people cannot jump to a height of more than 500 meters and then kill Moon Oil head-on.

This incredible quality about him made Youzhu interested in him.

So she didn't believe at all that Jiang Li really didn't know any magic.

"Indeed not."

After all, he needed help from others, so Jiang Li was very honest.

"..."

Youzhu closed her eyes slightly, and her expression made it impossible to tell whether she believed it or not.

"But the magic circuit should be activated, right? Let's try the most basic 'Analysis' and 'Strengthening'."

Youzhu got up from the sofa and took a plate from the closet in the next room.

"Infuse this plate with magic."
