Gate of the Cross

Chapter 239 Special Provisions

The girl talking was Changmen Youxi. Hearing this light blue short-haired girl with glasses say this, the leading birdman couldn't help feeling a little strange. Looking at her movements again, he was even more surprised.

The girl opposite only stretched out a hand at them, but it was this hand that made them unable to take a step forward.

"What the hell is going on? What magic did you use?

The bird man was shocked and angry, which she had never seen before.

"It's not magic."

Changmen Youxi shook his head after hearing her words, then turned around and gently grabbed Xinjie's arm next to him and bit it.

"What does she want to do?"

Because they were blocked by this invisible wall, these birds could only watch the strange movements of Changmen Youxi, which could not be stopped.

Xinjie, who was bitten by Changmen Youxi, quickly opened his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Changmen Youxi nearby, but soon felt his own vision. He quickly turned around and looked at the girl who had just been singing staring at them.

"Wings?"

After seeing the wings behind these girls, Xinjie suddenly felt that they looked very familiar. Thinking about it a little in his mind, he immediately remembered that he had seen the same species near Alute Village and Ghana Village. They are not human beings, but birds, and they are demons~!

After thinking of this, Xinjie immediately understood what had just happened. I'm afraid that they were all hypnotized by the songs of these birds. When he saw Nagato Youxi grab Farsaka's arm and bite it, he wanted to stop it, but he hesitated and gave up. After all, he could wake up and look like Nagato Youxi. It's a great relationship.

Sure enough, after being bitten by Nagato Youxi, Tosaka Rin also opened his eyes like him, and then Saber.

"Insufficient energy, defense is lifted."

Seeing that all three people here have woken up, Xinjie was going to ask Changmen Youxi what had just happened, but Changmen Youxi said such a sentence first.

Energy? Defense?"

Before I had time to think about what Changmen Youxi's words meant, I only heard a long song, and the bird people opposite rushed towards them.

"Prepare to fight!" There was nothing we could do but solve them first. Xinjie quickly pulled out the long sword around his waist and rushed up to meet the birds.

"What! Not at all!" Looking at the fleeing birds, Rin Tosaka muttered, "I thought they were so good."

Xinjie couldn't help sighing, "Rin, if Changmen hadn't blocked our attack and woke us up just now, we would still be in a dream."

"I also know... Well, Youxi, thank you."

When Farsaka Rin heard Xinjie's words, his face turned red and thanked Nagato.

Nagato Youxi shook his head and said nothing. Her taciturn three people are used to it, so it's not surprising. Saber asked Xinjie, "Jay, do you know the demon clan just now?"

Xinjie snapped and closed the picture book in his hand, "There is no record."

"I know."

Hearing what Rin Tosaka said, Xinjie looked at her with some surprise. Rin Tosaka is not from this world. How could she know the origin of these demons? Although he can probably guess that these demons should be humanoid birds and human monsters, it is also based on past combat experience. But looking at Tosaka Rin's appearance, it seems that she knows a lot, which makes him a little strange.

"Those demons just now should be called fantasy demons. It is said that they use songs to attract pedestrians to approach, and people who listen to their songs for a long time will unconsciously go to sleep and eventually become their prey."

Listening to Rin Tosaka, Xinjie and Saber think it's true, but...

"Since you know, why didn't you remind us at the beginning?" Saber couldn't help asking after listening to Rin Tosaka's words.

"So...sorry, I forgot. I also mentioned it when I listened to other people chatting in the village." Rin Tosaka said with some embarrassment.

“......”

Xinjie and Saber are relatively speechless, especially Xinjie. After getting along with each other for so long, he found that Tosaka Rin seems to have such a feature - whether it is the overall situation or detailed layout, she has a high talent, which can be said to be equivalent to the same existence as a military division in the team, but there is a problem. That is - she always plays abnormal at critical moments.

It's like a player on the basketball court who successfully steals from the opponent's hand, then quickly pushes through the half of the game, shaking all the opponent's defenders, leaving them behind, and jumping and shooting without anyone, but falling down.

That's how Rin Tosaka gave Xinjie.

But now that the matter has come to this point, he naturally won't say anything more about it. "Next, let's be careful."

"Hmm." Saber and Tosaka Rin both answered loudly, while Nagato Yuki nodded without saying anything.

"Changmen, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we would be in danger."

Xinjie doesn't think that those fantasy demons just now can really kill them. After all, the strength gap between the two sides is a little big. Even when they are both asleep, it is not easy to eat them. But on the other hand, if that's the case, they are bound to fall into a bitter battle, and it will certainly not be as easy as before.

Nagato Youxi still shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Well, Jie, don't always call the long gate. It's good to call Youxi." Rin Tosaka couldn't help saying something after hearing Xinjie's name for Nagato Youxi.

"Is this... Changmen okay?"

Xinjie looked at Changmen Youxi.

"Yes." Changmen Youxi is as concise as ever.

Several people walked towards their destination while chatting like this. On the way, they also met a new monster - the Hell Demon Dog. This snow-white dog and the hell watchdog Xinjie once met in the cave of Arubas in Ariute Village are monsters of the same family, but there is not much difference for them. Anyway, the result is the same. They are either killed or run away.

"Well, Jay, I have something to tell you."

As he walked, Rin Tosaka suddenly pulled Xinjie gently and said to him.

"What's the matter?" Xinjie slowed down and looked at Rin Farsaka with some doubts.

"I've heard you say that demons in this world can tame them into pets after being caught, right?"

"That's right," Xinjie nodded. "The pets used by people to assist in combat are mostly domesticated from demons, except for some that have been cultivated since childhood."

"So... can you do me a favor?" After receiving Xinjie's positive reply, Tosaka Rin's joy was full of words.

"What's the matter?"

Xinjie has guessed what Rin Tosaka wants to say.

"Help me catch a fantasy demon to be a pet."

“......”

"Why don't you talk? You just said it was okay." When Tosaka Rin saw that Xinjie was silent, he immediately came out what he had just said.

"It's not impossible, but you have to ask the sealer for help... Well, go to the sealer after returning to France this time." Xinjie is not a sealer. After all, catching favors is not his specialty, so he can only say so.

"fa lan City?" Thinking of the lively scene on the street of Flange City that he had seen, Tosaka Rin thought that there might really be someone selling fantasy demons there, so he nodded, "Don't go back on your word, or you won't come to me to make up for the demons in the future."

What kind of threat is this? Without waiting for Xinjie to complain, when she saw Xinjie's expressionless face, she added, "Don't want to play tricks. I will tell Saber, and I won't let her make up with you!"

"... Lin, do you want a fantasy demon because you feel that your melee ability is insufficient and you want to improve it in this way?" Anyway, the fantasy song demon is a senior demon clan. Unlike his own demon, he can't even speak, so Xinjie guessed that Tosaka Rin wanted her because he considered his lack of melee ability as Caster and wanted to make up for it through the special ability of the fantasy song demon.

Ah? How come? It's just that it takes me a long time to fall asleep every night after I become a spirit. Since the fantasy demon can make me fall asleep in such a short time and sleep so soundly, I want her to sing a lullaby for me every night. By the way, won't she escape?"

"...As long as your charm is not too low, it shouldn't be."

"Wow... That's good. You don't have to worry about not sleeping well anymore - Jie, what's wrong with you?" Noticing that Xinjie's expression had changed, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Tosaka Rin couldn't help asking.

"You don't want to know."

Xinjie shook his head, stopped talking, and turned his eyes to the front. "We're here."

During the period when Xinjie and Rin Tosaka were talking, the four finally arrived at the destination of their trip - the Bezrem Maze, a place to test the aliens.

"It looks good!"

Tosaka Rin looked at the golden palace and couldn't help praising, "It's very feel!"

After the four approached, the goddess officer guarding the door introduced herself: "I'm Gerana, the priest of Astia. Are you summoned from the alien world? Please give me the key given to you by the priest Billban.

After listening to Gerana's polite words, Xinjie took out the key he got from his arms in Jenova Town.

After meticulously checking the key handed to her by Xinjie, the female priest put it away and nodded to Xinjie, "It's indeed authentic. In addition, I want to give you a piece of advice. Only one person can accept the challenge with you. If you destroy it I will definitely regret this rule."

Hearing her say this, Rin Farsaka couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Rin Tosaka's question was not answered. She just made way and motioned them to go in.

"Why can only one person accompany Jie in?"

After entering the maze, Rin Tosaka couldn't help asking, "Jay, what should we do now?"

Xinjie frowned and thought about it. It was not the first time he heard this sentence. When he was in Jenova Town, the priest Billban had already told him about it. "Only one or more people can't accept the trial."

This is a special regulation.
