Chapter 605 The Calm Before the Storm

The Fire Mist is not peaceful. The conflict of various ideologies makes them look like a group of loose sands... although they are loose sands to begin with.

Due to the recent abnormal movements of the Masquerade, some outsiders have begun to issue recall orders to the Fire Mist, but few have responded.

It is not their business, they just ignore it. This is the psychological state of most Fire Mist. Compared with Fire Mist, the apostles in the Masquerade are more united.

If the Masquerade has any big moves again at this sensitive time, such as wiping out several outsiders, it may really attract the attention of the Fire Mist. However, since the Fountain of Existence incident in Misaki City, the other party has stopped its activities again, so it has not attracted large-scale attention.

This period of calm before the storm is the most peaceful time in history, so much so that Fariagni, who is immersed in a peaceful life, almost forgets that he is actually the King of the Red World.

"...Who is she?"

Looking at the girl holding a black parasol and wearing a red sleeveless Gothic Lolita outfit who was looking around curiously, after a brief silence, Fariagni asked without saying anything.

"Xishuixiang Meiya, one of the Red World disciples."

Putting his hands in his pockets and biting a lollipop, Mu Qingzhi looked calm.

"Before I officially return to the [Masquerade], let her stay with you for a while."

"I know she is a disciple, my question is, why did you bring her to me."

Pressing his forehead with one hand, Fariagni suddenly felt a headache.

"Even if you want to accumulate a team for yourself, it's useless to bring such a weak Red World disciple, right?"

...He wanted to complain before. This is not a nursery. What's the point of sending people to him?

In his eyes, all of these people sent here are light bulbs that disturb his relationship with Marian. The previous Ai Ran siblings are fine, after all, they are still somewhat famous among the Red World Apostles, and Qianbian, the Three Pillars Minister, owes them a favor, but what the hell is this disciple now?

Although he was beaten up every other day, he is still a king of the Red World after all, and he still has the necessary vision.

If the Ai Ran siblings are considered to be the stronger ones among the Red World Apostles, then this Xi Xi Xiang is completely the weakest of the disciples, basically belonging to the ranks of miscellaneous soldiers.

... Is it really useful to bring such a weak existence?

"Really? But weakness is not a sin."

Looking up at Fariagni in front of him, Mu Qingzhi looked noncommittal.

"The strong will only swing their swords at the stronger, and the weak will choose to attack the weaker. I have seen her past, and she is much cleaner than you."

Xishuixiang Meiya, a Red World disciple with a very weak existence and power, uses the free method related to dreams, and is almost invincible in dreams.

However, due to her own weak power, this free method can basically only work on humans, let alone interfere with the fire fog, and even other disciples can't interfere, and can only target some phosphorus.

Because of this weakness, she is cautious in everything she does. In the more than ten years since she came to the present world from the Red World, she has not eaten a single person, and lives entirely by picking up garbage.

After all, if she rashly eats humans, it may attract the crusade of the Fire Mist Warriors. Her small body that will break at the touch is naturally unwilling to take this risk.

Since she was weak, she needed very little power of existence. Picking up a torch was enough for her to live for a long time. In the world, the most abundant thing was the torch, so she lived a comfortable life.

In the process, because of her weakness, she also developed empathy for humans. When other disciples and phosphorus devoured humans, she would even take the initiative to provide protection.

Of course, she also knew that her behavior was an outlier among the apostles. In order to avoid retaliation, she was always very careful.

... But unfortunately, she still encountered an accident.

If she had not been saved by Bad Blade passing by in that accident, she would have died long ago.

Because she envied the other party's strength, she asked for a short sword as a reward to go with the other party, but Bad Blade did not accept it or agree, but felt that it was troublesome to drive people away, so he simply let her go.

That period of time was considered a rare warmth in the other party's memories.

However, due to the long-term indifference of Bad Blade, she had a little rebellious heart. After learning about the commission of the lost child at zero hour from Bad Blade, she insisted on coming to take it away by someone, in exchange for the opportunity for Bad Blade to face her.

In the original plot, the other party was a small monster that was killed by Shana casually, and even had very few lines. Although Bad Blade didn't say anything afterwards, he had always tried to avenge her.

Until he witnessed the full appearance of the true body of the sacrificial snake in the Shinto, and realized his attitude and neglected feelings at the beginning, Bad Blade, who had a chance to survive, chose to commit suicide by holding the dagger left by the other party before leaving.

In general, Meiya in Xishuixiang is a rare tragic character.

Of course, Mu Qingzhi chose the other party not only because of Bad Blade Shabrak, but also because of the other party's free method.

For Meiya, the use of the Freedom Method was limited due to her weak strength, but for her who was in charge of spiritual power, this Freedom Method was almost tailor-made for her.

"... I know, I will clean up a room later."

After a little silence, Fariagni nodded.

"One room is not enough, clean up another room."

Looking up at the sky, Mu Qingzhi shook his head.

"After a while, someone will come to report to you. You must be careful to entertain the next person. The other party has a bad temper and strong strength. I am a little worried that you will be beaten to death by the other party if you disagree with him. In that case, I will lose a lot."

Fariagni: "..."

"Okay, that's it, you get along well."

Shrugging slightly, Mu Qingzhi turned around very straightforwardly.

But before she took a few steps away, her figure quickly dissipated in front of Fariagni like a bubble.

In the previous [Fountain of Existence] world, although most of the power of existence was swallowed by Shen Cifang and the system, the system still left her some reserves.

Although she is still a little short of mana now, at least not as much as before. In addition, there is the world's strongest master next to her, so she will naturally not miss this opportunity to get some benefits.

Many of her previous ideas are now turning them into reality one by one... For example, this shadow clone.

... She can finally stop going to school every day.
