The Choice of Fate Comes to Night

"What are you doing? Come in!"

Probably because I stopped, Xiao Zhaoyou turned around and pulled me open the door and walked into the courtyard, "I don’t know if my mom has come out of the studio, anyway, you can call dad. come back……"

This feeling is... enchantment?!But it feels a little different...

The first moment I entered the courtyard, I felt as if I had passed through a magic barrier like a barrier wall, but from the perspective of the concentration of magic power, it seemed to be less than the strength of the barrier, but I felt it the first time. This magical barrier like an enchantment should have a function far beyond enchantment...

What an unexpected gain.

Although I did not instinctively perceive the dangerous aura of other Servants here, at this moment, I have a keen interest in the owner of this courtyard.

This is a courtyard full of Chinese flavor.

Originally I thought it was the back entrance, but in fact it was the side entrance of a courtyard. The first thing I saw when entering the courtyard was a side of the wall. Looking to the left, it was a house that had been transformed into a courtyard style. The main hall facing the wall was the main hall. , Hung a picture of the Crane Prolonging the Year, and a couplet on the side. The left one is "The spirit platform has no way to escape from the gods, the storm is like the old house of the stormy pavilion", and the right one is "I send my blood to the cold star. Jian Xuanyuan" (Tianyin: Everyone on earth should know that this is "Small Portrait" written by Lu Xun, right?) The font is in Xingkai, which seems unspeakably free and elegant.

As for the large double-sided embroidered Hanmei screen used as a block in the main room, not to mention the mahogany antique furniture. The overall feeling is quite elegant and peaceful.

And before I entered the main hall with Xiao Zhao You, I reflexively collapsed my body-for no other reason, because the atmosphere of warfare that suddenly came from the main hall was full.

"Dad, you're back!"

On the contrary, Xiao Zhaoyou dragged me into the main hall like a okay person, "Come out quickly, I found a very interesting thing!"

"That's not a reason for Xiaoyou to bring strangers in casually."

But the one who responded to her was not what I thought, the Mr. Zhao I had met, but a clear female voice.

"I'm not a stranger! She is our family!"

Instead, Xiao Zhao You curled his lips, and suddenly pulled up my left hand and stretched it forward, "Amamiya has the same green dragon mark as my father, how could it be an outsider!"

"Uh……"

Compared to Xiao Zhaoyou's recklessness, I smiled bitterly and raised my other hand to the man and woman standing in the hall at the moment, "I'm sorry to venture to visit. It's just..."

It turned out that it was because of Xiao Zhao You’s relationship that I hadn’t had time to take a closer look, but now I can finally see the people in the room. It’s Mr. Zhao, who has seen him before, and the one who is standing beside him is obviously emitting magic fluctuations. A young woman who seems to have a classic beauty.

"Xiaoyou, how well you are like this, don't let go."

It was Mr. Zhao who saw my embarrassment and hurriedly stopped Xiao Zhao You, but if I was not mistaken, he noticeably paused when he saw my left hand.

"Xiaoyou, have you forgotten what I told you?"

The woman was half-squining at Xiao Zhao You, who looked a little silly at the moment, and then nodded to me, "Hurry up and go back to your room. Today's No. 2 homework is not finished, and sleep is not allowed."

"Cut, can I find out about the dumb goose if I don't go out! There is no credit and hard work to cross the river and demolish the bridge like this..."

Xiao Zhaoyou stuck out his tongue and ran into the inner hall under Mr. Zhao's stare.

"Sorry, the discipline is lax."

Mr. Zhao turned and looked at me apologetically.

"It's okay, Zhao You has a very straightforward personality. It's precious."

I smiled, "As long as you don't think I will bother you."

"In that case, I only hope that Miss Amemiya will not dislike the humble homes."

The woman smiled forward and led me to the table of the Eight Immortals, "I once heard your husband talk about you, but I didn't expect to meet so soon."

Mr?In other words, she is Mr. Zhao's wife?

"So fate is a wonderful thing."

Because the interior uses natural light sources, as a courtesy, I took off the glasses that were used as a disguise by magic to cover up the eyes of different colors, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao stared at my glasses. After a long while, it seemed to be certain that he looked at me the same way, but didn't speak.

"That... Is there anything wrong?"

To be honest, once again relived the feeling of being stared a little hairy, I asked tentatively.

"Although personal privacy may be involved, I still want to take the liberty to ask."

Madam Zhao gently took the glasses I placed on the table, looked at me again and then looked at me, "Are you an alchemist? Miss Amemiya."

"Um...it should be, yes."

Originally I was a little worried about being seen by others, but when I heard Madam Zhao's question, I let go of my heart, so I frankly said, "So is Madam Zhao?"

"Although I also use alchemy, strictly speaking I should be considered an alchemist."

Probably after seeing my somewhat puzzled expression, she smiled and added, "The Alchemist is a faction of Taoism in China. The main direction of attack is pill and magic weapon. If you change the concept according to the Western magic system, that is Potions and magic props-from this point of view, it is true that it can be called an'alchemist'."

After a slight pause, she said again, "I saw that Miss Amamiya's glasses are obviously a product of alchemy, so this is why I asked. If your privacy is involved, please forgive me."

"It's not a big deal, I don't care. Madam Zhao doesn't have to be sorry."

I spread my hand and said that I didn’t care, and then asked about the topic I was more interested in, “But then again, when Zhao You led in before, the magic barrier set in the courtyard really made me feel quite curious— Ah, if it’s not convenient to disclose, then forget it, when I don’t ask."

"Well, it's just a furry Jiugong formation. Compared to formations, I am better at making magic weapons."

Madam Zhao looked at me, then a smile appeared on her face, "Why, are you interested?"

"It would be great if Mrs. Zhao can get advice."

Grabbing my hair, I smiled awkwardly, "It's true that I was seriously injured once, and I don't remember the past clearly. The only skills I master are alchemy and some martial arts, so I have always been I really want to find a master who can give me careful and systematic guidance."

After a slight pause, I said again, "But you also know that in the Western magic system, alchemy is not particularly valued. If you want to learn alchemy, you have to go to the academy. But..."

I didn't say anything further, but seeing Madam Zhao's clear look, she knew that she had automatically found a very reasonable reason for me.

——You are really a lot of lies...

Well, it’s just to deal with the situation in front of me... You don’t know that it’s hard to find alchemists here. The system I know has been inscribed in my mind ever since I became a hero. , Isn’t it enough to add some basic knowledge?

——Yes, yes, are you justified?But you can still cheat against such a family...

Do you think I want to lie?

If Xiao Zhaoyou's statement is true, then I may have some degree of blood connection with the family in front of me.

Although I don't expect it myself...

--why?

It's just a feeling...Blood ties...It's actually a very subtle thing...

"After talking so much, won't you be thirsty? Have a cup of tea first."
