"Is there?"
Aozaki Aoko tilted her head, looking confused.
"Even if I don't do anything, you'll still meddle in other people's business. It doesn't make any difference if it's earlier or later."
“Hmm…”
Hearing such straightforward and blunt words, Zelrich was speechless for a moment.
Just as Aozaki Aoko said, although magicians have different personalities, and because of their powerful strength and the fact that they see through the truth behind the world, they have a reckless personality, and most of them will cause big trouble that will cause unrest.
Otherwise, Qingzi wouldn't have earned the reputation of 'human rocket launcher' in the first year of her travels.
But perhaps because he is a human who has lived since BC and is one of King Solomon's disciples, or because of the characteristics of the second law "Parallel World Interference", coupled with his complex personality of "being indignant for evil and mocking good", Zelrich is also the most troublesome person among the recorded magicians.
Or rather, it's a bit too much trouble.
No matter whether it is a world line or a small one, he will not hesitate to get involved in any important event, and even take the initiative to fan the flames.
For example, the origins of the Three Great Families of Fuyuki City and the Greater Holy Grail, which involved countless parallel worlds, were presided over and witnessed by him personally.
"Indeed, whether I want to or not, as long as I don't give up observing the situation in the parallel world and maintaining its balance, I will have to deal with these things sooner or later."
Zelrich sighed.
"——But this time is different."
"I can't be the factor that ends Zhu Yue, or deal with the problems related to her. Although I don't want to admit it...but I'm old."
If other people heard Bao Shi Weng's confession at this moment, they would definitely be shocked.
Although it is not difficult to tell that this magician is quite old from the wrinkles on his forehead and the graying hair, once you meet him in person, you can feel the youthful vigor behind him.
In addition, his experience of occupying the position of the Magic Marshal, which symbolizes the highest peak of magic, for nearly a thousand years without changing his appearance is completely a myth in reality. So even though everyone criticizes him for becoming a useless person by becoming his apprentice, they still flock to him to become his disciple.
But Aozaki Aoko just narrowed her eyes and did not deny it.
Because she knew very well that although Baozhu Weng was a cunning and mysterious guy, this was indeed the fact.
After growing into her twenties, Aoko clearly felt that her age would not change anymore.
As the ruler of the world's principles, the moment a magician officially uses magic, his past will 'die'.
Just like human cells are constantly renewed, the privileges called rules will be like the Ship of Theseus, transforming the users from head to toe, so that they will never have to worry about things like "your peak period has passed".
Although there is nothing abnormal about Bao Shi Weng's vigorous and healthy appearance, this kind of aging itself is a huge abnormality.
"After I became a dead apostle in the duel with Zhu Yue, my strength began to wane. When dealing with other matters, I might be able to use the characteristics of the second law to not fall behind, but when facing Zhu Yue, I will be considered a winner if I don't fall behind."
Zelrich said frankly.
He had actually long been aware that Zhu Yue might use the power of the Dark Six to revive.
But unfortunately, because Roland's own weight was equivalent to the multiverse, the splash caused by the event he expected was not enough to observe any abnormalities in the Second Law. Therefore, by the time Zelrich discovered that things were starting to go wrong, he had already lost the opportunity to intervene.
Aozaki Aoko nodded as a matter of course.
"The Clock Tower is your territory after all. If I'm the only one running around in this big event, it's only natural that you'd vent your anger on me, right?"
The wizard lady gave an answer that followed her heart without hesitation.
Although her strange and straightforward character and temperament somewhat ruin her beauty, the girl regards her style of not putting others in a difficult position but putting herself in a difficult position as one of her proud qualities.
"However, since you are so honest, I am not a demon and will not ask you to participate in the battle with Zhu Yue. You can deal with other opponents. Compared with the candidates responsible for dealing with Zhu Yue, we are still a little short of high-end combat power to deal with other troublesome enemies."
"An enemy that requires a magician to deal with? Who is my opponent?"
Hearing this, Zelrich also became a little curious.
Facing a serious magician, the Forefather of the Dead Apostles is nothing more than this. The battle between Lord Black Wing and Aozaki Aoko is enough to illustrate the gap between the two.
On this planet, in this era, are there still such enemies?
Bao Shi Weng concentrated slightly and began to sense this abnormal trajectory that could cause the world line to fluctuate and distort.
"Let me see... Well, Chaldea is still in the fog and has not overlapped with reality. The Wandering Sea has not returned. Apart from the resurrected Zhu Yue, the biggest change worth noting is..."
The next moment, as if realizing something unexpected, Zelrich suddenly stopped talking to himself and looked into the distance.
Although still thousands of miles away, he seemed to have seen the trembling crystal valley.
Zelrich suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Wait, the enemy I have to deal with won't be that...big spider, right?"
"That's right!"
Ignoring Zelrich's stiff expression, Aozaki Aoko said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm just having a headache over this problem. That guy seems to have been stimulated by Zhu Yue's fluctuations and has woken up in a daze. Although I am very concerned about the commotion over there, I really can't spare any time to deal with it before the matter here is settled."
I typed ort, is this true or false?
Even though he had experienced countless storms, facing such reality, the corners of Zelrich's mouth twitched unconsciously.
"If you don't want to win, but just want to hold them off for a short period of time, then it's not impossible to give it a try."
But after a moment of silence, he sighed and took on the hard work.
As a wise man who yearns for a better future, he has no reason to refuse something that can contribute to victory.
"After all, my strength has diminished with aging. It would be really difficult if the spirit that maintains my personality also began to diminish."
Zelrich showed a self-deprecating expression.
Seeing this, Qingzi also comforted the laborer who was captured with great difficulty.
"Don't worry, theoretically it's fine. Although he often makes some bad jokes, as far as the relationship is concerned, he is still my... boyfriend after all, and I won't make any risky plans."
As if she was not used to this kind of address, Qingzi's face gradually turned red.
“I see… huh?”
Boy friend?
Zelrich was dumbfounded.
Although he had long understood that many unimaginable things would happen in this fucked up world, he had never thought of such a bizarre thing.
"You seem surprised. Don't you believe it?"
Because Jewel Old Man looked so surprised, his reaction was even more intense than when he heard that he was going to fight Ort, which made Aoko, who was originally angry, feel helpless.
"Ah, come on. Even though I'm a magician, don't confuse me with old monsters like you. I'm a real girl, so it's not surprising that I'd be involved in such things."
"Girl?"
Such words made Bao Shi Weng, who had just calmed down after taking a deep breath, lose his composure again.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"It seems that I am often the only one who is unaware. Obviously, if I take a good look in the mirror, I can meet evil spirits beyond the imagination of the world. But then again, now rather than the fact that you actually have a boyfriend, I am more curious about what kind of warrior you are who is willing to eat anything and eat anything..."
Zelrich was only halfway through his words when he was blocked by an extremely cold gaze.
At some point, Aozaki Aoko had narrowed her eyes and was staring at Zelrich as if he were a dead person.
"…………What's wrong? Keep talking, old man Gem?"
Aozaki Aoko smiled gently.
"Based on what you just said, wouldn't it seem unreasonable of me if I didn't let you finish?"
Although that smile was beautiful and comforting, to Zelrich, it was no different from a death warrant from hell.
He was pale and cold sweat was beading on his forehead.
"Wait, Miss Aozaki... No, Lord Aozaki... I didn't mean anything else. It's just that I'm old and I didn't react for a moment, so I accidentally said the truth... Ugh!"
"Stop talking nonsense and be prepared!"
The next moment, a blue magic cannon mixed with the girl's resentment and anger shot up into the sky and pierced straight through the war puppet in the distance.
From a distance, it looks like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
——Although his strength has declined, the speed of the second method in running away is still unprecedented.
"Huh, you run really fast."
Qingzi snorted coldly, and after confirming that the coordinates of the Baozhu Weng's movement were moving towards ort, he withdrew his attention.
Let’s put today’s events aside for now. Anyway, once the dust settles, there will be plenty of opportunities to settle accounts with the other party.
The girl took a step forward and slowly flew into the air.
The turbulent air blew the long chestnut hair wildly.
That’s right, just like the reason why she asked Baozhu Weng to get involved.
What we need to pay attention to now is another thing.
"……strangeness?"
Looking down at the battlefield, Aoko muttered to herself.
"Where did Zhu Yue go?"
Clearly several minutes had passed since the gigantic aura had completely descended upon them, but the Dead Apostles were still unable to find any trace of the Moon King on the battlefield where they were being defeated.
Everyone noticed this abnormality.
Roland is no exception.
Under the scarlet blood moon, a beam of bright white moonlight poured down from the clouds like a sharp sword piercing the darkness.
Red and white.
The two contrasting colors make the king wrapped in moonlight shine like a gem under the spotlight, and as charming as a bride wrapped in a wedding dress waiting for her husband to lift the veil.
The pure white dress with the hem dragging on the ground gradually got wet under the water-like light.
Because it is dotted with golden lines, it maintains its softness and beauty while also outlining its natural majesty and nobility.
Mixed with the moonlight and the dress, was the girl's hair, which was far more dazzling than the dress and fell to the ground without any dust, like golden sand.
No, never mind the hair.
Even the girl's flawless, porcelain-like, white and smooth face sparkled in the moonlight.
When looking into those rainbow eyes that seemed to convey all things, it would not be surprising for an ordinary person to stop breathing.
It is an overwhelming beauty that transcends the boundaries of all living things and stands at the pinnacle of everything.
Even the planet itself is inferior to it.
Or to put it another way, the girl's appearance and the scale of her existence at this moment have surpassed the planet beneath her feet.
"Zhu Yue...or do you prefer me to call me type: earth?"
"Zhu Yue will do. This is my first and only name."
Zhu Yue said softly.
"It seems that you already understand the current situation. In that case, I will get straight to the point."
Standing under the pure white and blood-red moon, the oldest moon monarch smiled sweetly.
"——Roland, put down your sword and become my husband."
Aozaki Aoko tilted her head, looking confused.
"Even if I don't do anything, you'll still meddle in other people's business. It doesn't make any difference if it's earlier or later."
“Hmm…”
