At the same time.
On the other side of the castle.
For some unknown reason, Arcueid suddenly opened her eyes in her sleep, staring in a certain direction with her arrogant and cold eyes. After a while, she lay back on the bed and fell asleep, as if nothing had happened.
Altrouge, who I thought was loyal... now actually has other thoughts.

Chapter 318 The successor of First Magic?
Vatican.
In the dark night sky, the sun sets its last rays of light.
At this moment, the old Pope was wearing a white cloak with a gold edge, and was surrounded by more than a dozen Executors, each of whom had a record of participating in hunting True Ancestor Dead Apostles, and had a firm belief in the Lord.
And these are all basic preparations for meeting a 'girl'.
Soon, they arrived in front of a church.
"... here again."
Pope slightly raised his head and glanced at the church. It had a powerful barrier that was not inferior to his residence, and had unparalleled defense power. This defense was not only limited to the outside, but also had the same defense power inside.
In other words, this is not so much a protective barrier as a super powerful prison.
And this prison... is just for imprisoning a girl.
"Come in, Your Excellency Pope."
A soft and pious girl's voice came from the church.
Hearing this, Pope's body froze slightly, and then showed a wry smile of admiration. Even with such a powerful barrier, the girl could still sense his arrival.
It should be said that he is now the successor of First Magic.
"Then... I'm sorry to bother you."
Somewhat respectfully, he raised his head slightly and pushed open the closed door of the church. Immediately afterwards, the escorting Executor took the lead in walking into the church, tightly protecting the old Pope in the surrounding circle.
Seeing this, Pope raised his feet and walked into the church as if he felt safe.
In a quiet church, a girl who was not as beautiful as a human being was kneeling and praying quietly under Christ. She was wearing a close-fitting nun's uniform, her snow-white skin resisted the cold and snow, and her soft blond hair spread around her waist.
This scene seems like a beautiful oil painting, depicting the saint praying to the Lord.
"About the information on Magic circle... I read it in detail."
The girl who was praying did not look back, and said in a calm and soft voice, "If Aozaki Touko has no other intentions and operates Magic circle truthfully and according to the agreement, it does have the power to save the world. This is a fact without a doubt."
Recently... old Pope sent her a piece of information about Magic circle, which is said to be the masterpiece of modern Magic User Aozaki Touko. It is a Magic circle that can avoid the future doomsday. Old Pope... hopes that she can read it in detail to confirm the feasibility of this Magic circle.
It should be said that the genius who can become Magic User in modern times is really shocking. It contains the thought Magic circle that can almost reshape the world, but it is also feasible.
That woman... maybe really was favored by the 'Lord', and maybe she was born into the world to save the mortal world.
"..."
Old Pope hid under his cloak, clenched his wrinkled hands, and said, "What would happen if... Aozaki Touko had other intentions and did not operate Magic circle as agreed."
He could naturally hear what the girl meant, and he felt nervous inside unconsciously.
If Aozaki Touko did not save the world as agreed, and the real intention was to use this Magic circle to achieve other purposes, what terrible consequences it would have, just thinking about it makes people shudder.
Therefore, he gave the Magic circle information to the girl to read... He wanted to confirm the danger of this Magic circle.
If there is really a danger then... he will forcefully stop it according to his current rights to avoid terminating the operation of Magic circle before the situation is irreversible.
Of course... he sincerely hopes that this Magic circle has no other intentions.
"There are so many possibilities... The physical laws of the earth's surface will be modified as long as there is an intention to embed them."
The praying girl's voice was as calm as ever. "All the technologies accumulated by mankind will be invalidated as a result, and the mystery may end in this world, or it may even become a brand new world."
"... Is this possible?"
One Executor was a little disbelieving. "This is the category of reaching the power of the 'Lord', almost re-creating the world. Even Magic User is not capable of doing such a thing."
What incredible information... Modifying the laws of the world and changing the world into another appearance is no different from what the gods can do. Even... even the gods of the age of gods cannot do this kind of thing.
This kind of thing... is simply like God creating the world, dividing the world with one word, orienting the world's many rules, and then operating them forever as natural laws.
"It's OK if... we use the base plate of Christianity."
There was a trace of doubt in the girl's soft voice. "Although I don't know the specific reason, there is no doubt that 'Aozaki Touko' has a thorough understanding of Christianity's foundation. It is almost like Solomon has been resurrected."
She read and researched a lot... and found that it seemed that the research direction of Aozaki Touko was not to assist Christianity mysticism. Although it was involved, it should not be so profound.
That's why she suspected... perhaps Aozaki Touko is really the messenger of the Lord, coming down to earth to restore the existence of the end of the world.
"... I forgot to mention one thing. Aozaki Touko said that she was granted wisdom by Solomon."
Old Pope spoke in a faint voice, containing subtle emotions. He was actually a little unsure at first... and even had a sense of self-deception, but now that he thinks about it... maybe Aozaki Touko has really come into contact with King Solomon.
"Magecraft Master... can he also bathe in the light of the Lord?"
"Maybe... there is some misunderstanding."
The Executor present were whispering to each other. Some did not believe this. In front of their inherent three views, the Magecraft teacher was a heretic that needed to be punished and an existence that violated the doctrine. If Aozaki Touko was an existence favored by the 'Lord',
Then... wouldn't it be contrary to their teachings?
"No, there are actually traces of this matter."
The girl stood up as if after praying, turned around and looked at the Executors with a smile, and gently placed her hand in front of her high chest. "The First Magus in Master Magecraft's mouth is actually Jesus... also my ancestor."
Silence.
The air fell into dead silence.
The Executor present were all stunned. What did the girl say... The First Magic teacher in the heresy was actually their Jesus. What an ignorant speech, what a blasphemous speech to the glory of the Lord.
This girl who looks like a saint... maybe a devil in human skin.
"Thank you for your answer... we will leave now."
Pope suddenly spoke up and raised his hand to stop some angry congregants. Then he bowed quite seriously and led Executor out of the church. He did not reprimand the girl for her offensive remarks at all, as if he was acquiescing to the girl's speech.
"... Actually, I forgot to say something."
The girl silently watched the people leaving and whispered slightly, "Aozaki Touko, the biggest demon who offends the glory of the Lord in this world is the living Satan."
After whispering like this, she turned around and continued to pray to God.
In this small church, apart from sleeping, she could only pray...
However, maybe one day... an uninvited guest might come to visit me.
Chapter 319: The game naturally needs to be online
Fuyuki City.
Aozaki Household Backyard.
--Hey!
Illya let out a light chuckle, and swung out Bamboo Sword with both hands clenched, then took it back and continued to repeat. She was learning some basic kendo movements, and her appearance looked somewhat similar, and it looked quite standard.
"..."
On the side, Fujimura Taiga was sitting on his knees in the aisle, holding a glass of iced watermelon juice in his hand, looking at Illya's movements with some confusion. Although Illya's movements were very childish, there was still a hint of alertness... as if he was guarding against a sudden attack.
This is not intentional... rather it is a developed instinct.
However, Illya is so young now, how can he have the opportunity to spar with others?
But these alertness are not something that can be cultivated through casual practice.
"Taiga, why is your face wrinkled?"
Irisviel came over at some point, stood beside Taiga dignifiedly, and asked softly, "Is it possible that Illya is not serious about learning kendo?"
"No... that's not the problem."
Taiga raised his hand and scratched his cheek in embarrassment, and said softly, "It just feels like Illya is very good at fighting. Did he have special training? Then the child has a pretty good awareness in this area."
"Well... it seems that there have been many battles."
Irisviel thought for a moment, pointed his white finger on his lower lip and said, "It is said that I have fought with slimes... Minotaur, Medusa, Gana, Griffin, Chimera, etc. The battle process was quite intense."
During this time...Illya would often tell her stories about his experiences in dreams, such as breakthroughs in leveling, what kind of powerful monsters he defeated, and what bizarre and touching adventures he experienced.
"Isn't this... a little cruel~"
Fujimura Taiga swallowed. "Illya is still young now... Fighting with these monsters to exercise is also a kind of harm to the child's mind. If you want to develop fighting ability, you can wait until Illya grows up."
She was shocked by Irisviel as if nothing had happened. Now Magecraft master is so cruel in training his offspring, and he actually summoned these terrifying monsters to train his children.
Aren't you afraid that the child will be injured and die if you are not careful, or that your personality will be cultivated to be extreme and anti-social?
"Psychic damage... that's not the case."
Irisviel raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said as if he didn't understand, "Now at Illya's age... isn't it the best time to experience these."
She touched her delicate cheek with some regret and sighed with slight regret.
"To be honest, people actually want to experience it, but unfortunately... I am already the mother of a child and missed the best time to experience it."
"Let's forget about this experience... Fighting is not a beautiful thing."
Taiga twitched the corner of his mouth, then stared at the silver-haired young woman beside him seriously, and said, "Although it is a bit rude... but please don't let Illya experience this. She is a child... this is too cruel."
As a teacher and an adult, she absolutely cannot agree with letting children go through these cruel battles. If some basic martial arts training is okay, but having to fight with those monsters... then she will never agree at all.
In today's era... it is already possible for children to spend their childhood laughing,
The so-called fighting skills... are not necessary in this era.
Moreover, with the strength of Lady Touko... there is no need to raise children so cruelly.
"Isn't it cruel... but Illya had a lot of fun."
Irisviel's red eyes held a smile, revealing a hint of cunning. "Before going to bed yesterday, I will kill that Black Dragon today."
"... Dragon?"
Taiga blinked and realized that something was not right.
If those monsters like Minotaur, Gana, and Medusa were summoned with the Lady Touko ability, they were within the range of her understanding, but it would be a bit exaggerated if they were a 'dragon'.
Moreover, even if Illya masters extraordinary abilities... he should not be able to defeat dragons and the like.
"Mom, what are you talking about!"
A childish voice sounded, and Illya ran over anxiously, and quickly explained to Taiga, "That's a game, a game. The monster I fought was not a real monster, it was a monster in the game. He is just an ordinary primary school student."
"Game?"
Taiga was slightly startled, then turned to look at the silver-haired young woman aside. "Um... are the monsters mentioned before all monsters in the game?"
"Yes, of course it's in the game."
Irisviel chuckled and said, "In this era... it is almost impossible to find those monsters. Even if there are monsters, they will be locked up and collected. It is a very luxury to use them for training in combat."
"... Ah... but where did this Illya combat consciousness come from?"
Taiga showed a bit of confusion. Could it be that Illya applied combat experience to reality through playing games? Is this a bit nonsense, or...Magecraft's method is too magical.
"Combat consciousness... Teacher Taiga, what are you talking about."
Illya was a little confused, and waved Bamboo Sword in her hand, but found no change in herself. She was still an ordinary young girl, and she might not even be able to defeat a... goose. How could she have the so-called fighting consciousness.
"..."
Taiga was silent for a moment, then said, "Illya... can you tell me what game you are playing?"
"This..."
Illya hesitated slightly and looked up at Irisviel. After receiving a nod in agreement, he said, "It's in a dream. I'm playing games in a dream. Those monsters... are all in dreams."
At this point, she scratched her cheek in embarrassment.
