"Well...... That's probably the case, I can't guarantee that I won't be able to go back to the academy tomorrow, and I can't fully trust the Holy Sister because of the Holy Lady on the Sanctuary side, so be careful...... Well, that's pretty much it. ”

After explaining the situation here and reminding them of their precautions for tomorrow, Sivi ended the communication.

In front of him, the Holy Maiden of the Pure White Church was arguing with the puppet closest to alchemical life in this era.

"Can't you two stop a little bit?" He sighed, a little helpless.

"It's this little man who has no one in his eyes!"

It seems that Elilia does not have a good impression of the puppet girl.

"Who is the peewee who can't even be seen if you're not careful!" The puppet girl reacted immediately, staring at a certain saint like an enraged kitten.

"I didn't say that! Don't be too self-conscious! Not to be outdone, Elilia glared back.

For some reason, when Sivi looked at them, the two of them always thought of cats and dogs......

"Don't call people that! Obviously you're a little bit yourself! ”

The puppet girl didn't seem to like being described as small, but she immediately frowned suspiciously: "Then again...... I always felt like you're a little shorter than you were before. ”

"Hmm......"

Eliria, who had become weaker and weaker due to her lack of adaptation to the forbidden environment, was indeed a little younger than before, and even she herself was clearly aware of this.

"Could it be that human beings are getting bigger and smaller now? It's incredible......

Finding that the other party did not refute, Floris muttered to himself in disbelief.

"Nope. Please don't think of her as a representative of ordinary humanity. ”

Xiwei, who was following them, complained at the right time.

As they spoke, they were spotted by a creature with a giant scissor head.

The scissor blade was about three meters long, and it looked very silvery, and it was wrapped around it with black sludge in the shape of thorn vines, which formed spider-like organs, and was crawling on the ceiling, rapidly approaching them from behind.

This must be the monster created by the lich, somewhere between the living and the dead.

Unable to construct and use magic, Sivi had no choice but to pull out the test-tube flask he had purchased from the achievement shop again.

It's just that before he could make a move, the blue arc flashed. Seal the aisle behind them. It turned into a dead end.

"These things are not very intelligent, and if you don't see the enemy for a while, you will leave quickly."

The puppet girl said casually as if she had done something insignificant.

"More than that, I'd like to know how you use magic."

Listening to the faint sound of hitting the wall on the other side of the wall, Sivi shrugged his shoulders and put the potion back in his pocket. At the same time, he asked.

"Because spell-like abilities don't need to be built externally." It was unexpected. The puppet girl actually answered his question: "Although the essence of people's abilities is the same as dust magic. But our sisters' casting methods are closer to monsters than ordinary magicians. ”

Sivi didn't have an interface, and he stroked his stubble chin. It's like thinking about something.

And because of the monster attack just now, Elilia didn't seem to be in the mood to continue arguing with the puppet girl, and followed the other party from various stairs to the upper floors.

After a long silence, Sivi spoke again.

"It's a bit rude to say that, but Miss Floris, I want to ask - don't you have any desire to collect the parts of the gods and become a perfect creature beyond ordinary beings?"

"Mr. Edric?!"

Elilia exclaimed, she hadn't expected Sivi to ask such a question.

"I can't see that you are such a rude person."

And the puppet girl also showed a cold expression as she expected.,If this is a game.,There must be a record of a significant drop in Floris's favorability in the background.。

"Although my biological father wants us to fight each other, when we die, there will be no reason for people to fight to the death with their sisters."

"I see." Ignoring the other party's expression of sudden drop in favorability, Xiwei nodded: "It turns out that it is because I have no dreams and the pursuit of the future, so I will sleep in the suitcase." ”

"What the hell do you mean?"

The puppet girl seemed to be annoyed by him, staring at Sivi with hostile eyes.

"I've been wondering what the difference between you and your real life is before...... Obviously, he already has a sufficient degree of self-awareness, and even has the ability to think that is not inferior to that of humans. This level of existence is nothing that can be regarded as an alchemical life. Sivi touched his chin and reasoned about it: "It wasn't until just now that I realized that you don't have enough pursuits, dreams, or 'desires'. All living beings seek the continuation of their own lives, but if I guessed correctly...... Even the death of consciousness is not something difficult for you to accept, is it? ”

“……”

The puppet girl didn't answer, but it was not difficult to see from her attitude that Sivi was right.

After a while, she asked, "What about you?" Do you all have your own dreams? Even you? ”

The latter one she said was addressed to Elilia.

"Of course." A certain saint who has become a young woman said without hesitation: "My dream is to escape from the pure white church!" ”

The corners of Sivi's mouth twitched.

"It was an unexpected dream......

This guy will definitely make the believers of the pure white church have a beautiful fantasy of the saint.

"Even once, I want to walk in this world and see all kinds of scenery and cultural customs in the world with my own eyes, rather than just knowing from the lifeless letters in the book."

Eliria's face softened, and she smiled self-deprecatingly: "In this way, I can devote myself to being a saint." ”

The puppet girl was silent for a few seconds, and then asked Sivi, "What about your dreams?" ”

"No. 1 in the world." Sivi touched Eliria's head, and then said to Floris without hesitation, "I want my academy to be the number one magic academy in the world. ”

“……”

Along the way, Floris never said a word.

The tower led to the bell tower with a spiral staircase, and it took a lot of effort for Sivi and the others to finally climb into the Big Ben-like building.

But in the center of the countless gear bearings, the obelisk that should have existed has been lost, leaving only a stone platform with dents.

"Are you really not on the wrong path?" Elilia asked suspiciously.

"That's right, they were still there the last time they came." Floris said curiously.

"Wait, how long ago was the last time you were here?" Sivi asked suddenly.

"Hmm...... About 200 years ago, right? ”

““……””

Just as Sivi and Elilia were speechless, a familiar chill made Sivi shiver in vain.

This is one of the signs that the Mage Alarm is activated!

"Be careful!"

Without reminding him more, Sivi held the two little guys who were only up to his thighs around his waist, and then bent his legs, accumulating enough strength in an instant, and suddenly jumped away from the spot.

In the next moment, a huge object fell from the sky and smashed a large hole into the floor, revealing the gears that were still running beneath the floor.

"What's that?" Elilia was startled by the thing and asked involuntarily.

The monster that fell from the sky resembled a four-legged creature like an alpaca or a horse, and it was covered in black mud, which should be in the same category as the teapot and scissors it had encountered before.

It's just that its body is not only larger than the previous two monsters, but through the outer layer of black mud, you can faintly see the metal gears, huge bearings and various strange-shaped parts inside, and its head is a prismatic object similar to a crystal, and there are complex spells carved on it.

"Found it!"

"That's it!"

In the next moment, Elilia and Floris, who were still holding Sivi's waist, looked at the monster's head and shouted at the same time.

"That's the (last) seal carrier!" (To be continued......)
