Chapter 407 The Plan Begins
"A legendary spell?"
Evening, on the villain's rooftop.
After completing another day of live streaming, while the three of them—Cat, Rabbit, and Big Dog—read the comments and interacted with the audience, she slipped into the rest room and took out the Communication Tome Stone.
The target being connected is Inari.
"Yes, I recently learned about this kind of strange magic, but I don't understand how it works, so I wanted to ask you, Miss Inari."
Su Tianqing said half-honestly.
On the other side of the screen, the red fox girl pinched her chin and thought for a while. You could see her red fox tail swaying behind her. The two foxes couldn't help but synchronize.
Next came a series of explanations of terms that I only vaguely understood.
"The magic that people usually use relies on their own magical power to achieve, such as magic missiles or magic cannons. The effect is average, but the efficiency is extremely high, and it can be used continuously with ease."
"But if the scale of magic increases, such as the magic filtering barrier I set up before, and its variant spell [Future Jump], it would be impossible for a single magical girl to do it."
"I know that. I barely managed to do it with Miss Dandelion back then, and Miss Bai Lili even provided us with magic power." Su Tianqing nodded in response.
"That's the characteristic of legendary spells; without the assistance of astral power, one must pay a huge price to use them."
And so on, and so forth.
Inari meticulously explained the definition of legendary magic in the astral plane, and also discussed the origins of magic and magical girls' power.
"I have contacted Senior Mercury. During her time wandering the astral plane, she collected a lot of information related to magic and also read many ancient books in the astral library."
"She, Red Rose, and I all agree that magic did not exist in the vast astral plane from the beginning, and may even have originated in a place even more ancient and distant than the astral plane—"
At this point, Inari changed the subject, leaned closer to the camera, and whispered as if in a secret:
"Miss Xin Yuehu, is there anyone else with you?"
"No, don't worry, you can tell me."
"That's good……"
After a brief pause, Inari continued:
"The creator of the [Abyss Codex] may well be the great man who created magic."
Su Tianqing opened her mouth slightly, but felt that the answer was completely reasonable.
However, the description of him or her as a "great man"... I think he or she should be called a "funny person" instead.
Don't you even know what kind of missions the Secret Codex usually issues? It's all about having fun!
"Senior Mercury found that secret book at the entrance to the abyss. She didn't know how to use it properly and always used it as a convenient source of magic."
"Until it chose you, Miss Heartmoon Fox, it showed you its immense power."
"Since you're asking about legendary spells, you must have found some interesting legendary spells in that secret book."
As expected of Inari-san, a simple logical deduction is all it takes to arrive at an answer that is extremely close to the correct one.
The red fox girl smiled slightly and sat up straight.
"If it were someone else, I might be a little worried, but since it's you, you certainly wouldn't use it for anything evil, right?"
"That's certainly not the case," Su Tianqing said honestly.
The two foxes communicated very smoothly, and today's villainous activities were as usual.
The activities for the next two or three days will be the same:
During the day, he attends classes, and after class, he and Xiaoyu hang out together, even dragging Xiaoyu's roommates along, thus becoming the ones who spread the lovey-dovey vibes.
My roommates A and B also subtly and overtly questioned me about strange topics like "who was on top at night."
But this topic was always interrupted by the blushing little fish.
As night fell, everyone dispersed throughout Chengdu to search for any possible wild monsters. Once they found one, they would notify each other and rush to the scene immediately.
The five of them swarmed the wild monster and gave it a good beating, while also helping the crowd evacuate, thus gaining a lot of goodwill among them.
Things are going smoothly with the hyacinths as well.
Especially with the addition of Tian Nanxing, a powerful melee-type newcomer, the team's tactics have finally matured completely.
Hyacinth is the main attacker, responsible for attracting the monster's attention while seizing opportunities created by her teammates to launch a fatal blow.
Wang Xiaowang, a rookie magical girl named Tian Nanxing, is responsible for circling around and attacking the monsters.
Once Hyacinth successfully grabs the monster's attention, or even engages in a direct confrontation with him, Tian Nanxing rushes forward to launch a fierce attack, forcing the monster to abandon the struggle and reveal an opening.
With two melee fighters, one support, and an aerial gunner, this versatile squad composition has made the Hyacinth Squad, which has always played in outnumbered matches, invincible.
"Arisaema is amazing!"
Hyacinth was generous with her praise for the new team members.
The dog-girl grinned foolishly at her teammates' praise, but her tail was already wagging so hard it left a trail of afterimages.
"You two are working together quite well. You were a little awkward at first, but you quickly grasped the tactic. It seems Xiaoyue and I were right about you!"
Bai Ling said proudly, and Yue Tianxin, the fox beside her, also smiled.
"I even think that if you two could work on your teamwork a bit more, defeating the Hellcats wouldn't be a problem!"
"..."
Everyone chuckled and gave Bai Ling a strange look.
Even Wang Xiaowang's tail stopped wagging, as if it were saying a famous line like, "Me? Fighting Hellcats?"
The special training on the rooftop was brought to a halt by Bai Ling's words. Even the white weasel spirit herself realized that her words seemed a bit exaggerated, and quickly said:
"Anyway, Xin Yuehu and the others want us all to meet at CBD Plaza tonight. They're probably planning something weird again, so we have to be careful."
"And I heard that she also called Fenfeng, who was staying in Rongcheng, over there."
"Foehn wind..."
Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, and Nan Xiaofeng said, puzzled,
"Didn't they say Fenfeng and the others had already gone back to London? Alice's arrest warrant has been withdrawn, so what is she still doing in Rongcheng?"
"I heard from Merlin that the Hero Association arranged for her to provide temporary support here, and Monsoon is also staying here, but today only Fenfeng was arranged to provide support."
"It's said that a senior figure from London, with the same qualifications as Red Rose, has made a comeback, so there's not much pressure to fight against monsters for the time being. Xiao Feng, you should know her; her codename is [Arthur]."
"Has Senior Asel made a comeback?!"
Nan Xiaofeng was full of excitement. Wang Xiaowang and Lin Muyao had also heard of this senior, so they immediately explained the situation to Hua Ling, who was the only one who didn't understand.
Soon, the topic shifted from the older generation to the present.
"In short, the Foehn winds will come to support our operation tonight, so let's talk about the most important thing first."
"Little Wang, especially you, this is your first time fighting against Xin Yuehu and the others, so you must remember these points—"
The dog girl pricked up her ears earnestly.
"First, never think about confronting her directly, and never try to make her angry."
"Second, if she starts laughing, you should quickly find a way to escape. She has an endless supply of wicked ideas to deal with you."
"Third, and most importantly."
Bai Ling took a deep breath and said very seriously:
"Never let Xin Yuehu catch you."
"Absolutely not."
