Chapter 228 Going to the Market
The only difference between wizards and Muggles is that wizards have magical powers.
Therefore, it can also be said that magic power is the foundation of the existence of wizards.
Similarly, for Onmyoji, mantra is the root of their existence.
After all, it's just the way of addressing them differently. In essence, there is no difference between wizards and onmyojis, magic power and spell power.
Therefore, the shikigami who has been extracting the onmyoji's mantra is equivalent to constantly extracting the essence of the onmyoji's existence.
For details, please refer to Voldemort and Quirrell.
This situation will not only greatly weaken the Onmyoji's ability to cast spells.It has been in a state of consuming mana, and it will even reduce the vitality of the onmyoji.
The more powerful the shikigami, the faster the reduction in vitality.
Dumbledore is more than 100 years old, and he is still alive and kicking every day.Among Onmyoji, those who can live to 60 years old are considered to be extremely old.The reason for this is this.
So, since shikigami has such a big disadvantage, why do onmyojis keep using shikigami?
That's certainly not because they're stupid.
It's because the only advantage of shikigami is enough to erase all its shortcomings.
Shikigami can quickly increase combat effectiveness!
Even a child who has no power to restrain a chicken, as long as he has enough magic power in his body, as long as he successfully seals a shikigami, then he can be a 'human battery' with peace of mind.Shikigami will destroy all enemies for him!
Or be wiped out by the enemy?
In short, in the Japanese magic world where the living environment is harsh, it is more reliable to prioritize whether you can survive instead of thinking about whether you can live a long life.
'It seems that the wand business cannot be carried out in Japan. '
Bell thought regretfully.
After all, compared to spells that take years to learn and practice, a trigger that can be pulled with a flick of a finger is more suitable for combat.
At least for ordinary onmyojis.
……
"Brother! Brother! Get up!"
Little Shanna is very excited today.Not only because today is the opening day of the bazaar, but also because, after today's shopping is completed, their family will go home!
Although Shanna doesn't hate traveling, it can even be said that the little girl likes to travel and play with her brother.But she is still young after all.This is the first time Shanna has been away from home for such a long time, and she misses the fun little animals at home.
He opened his sleepy eyes, although Bell in this life is used to getting up early.But the feeling of waking up still made him unflattered.
Sitting up, he glanced at the dark night outside the window.
"Sanna, what time is it?"
bell asked
"4:[-]!"
"..."
"Let me sleep for another five minutes."
Falling back on the bed with a 'plop', Bell pulled the blanket over his head.
"Brother! Get up quickly! The sun is drying your ass!"
Little Shanna relentlessly pulled her brother and shook him vigorously.
"..."
Bell was speechless.Where is the sun basking in the ass?Mr. Sun has not woken up yet, okay?
Could it be that my sister still has the talent of prophecy?In the eyes of the little girl, the sun has already risen?
In the end, Bell, the 'arm' who couldn't twist Shanna's 'thigh', had no choice but to fight back his drowsiness and get up, playing with his sister for hours.
……
"This is really lively!"
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Bell couldn't help sighing.
At this time, under the leadership of Huang Quanyou, the Bell family came to the outside of an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Tokyo.
Watching people keep coming in through the dilapidated gate of the factory, Bell has a little bit more expectation for today's "going to the market" activity.
Hearing Bell's emotion, Huang Quan also nodded.She is also the first time to 'go to the market'.
As the heir of the Isayama family, if Huang Quan had any needs, her father would take care of them for her.
After entering the factory, what appeared in the eyes of several people was a... dilapidated factory.
Bell's eyes twitched as he looked at this "exterior and exterior" market place.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite normal?
After all, even people from a big family like Huang Quan can't cast a few decent spells.It is probably not easy to find a few wandering onmyojis who can use spells like the Untraceable Stretching Curse.
Because a few people came very early, the 'shopkeepers' in the venue were still busy setting up stalls, and no one cared about attracting customers.
"How much is this pendant?"
Bell pointed to a jade-like ornament on the booth and asked.
This pendant is just an ordinary ornament, apart from being more beautiful, it doesn't have any spells attached.Bell intends to buy it as a souvenir.After all, apart from Japan, it seems that there is no other country that has this kind of jade-like ornaments?
The stall owner stared at Bell and the others for a while before saying, "100 million yen."
Yes, everyone heard it right, the common currency in the Japanese magic world is the Japanese Yen.
Bell was quite surprised when he first heard the news.It wasn't until Zhao Youde and Huang Quan learned the details of the magic world one after another that he was relieved.
No way, under the ravages of evil spirits, Onmyoji and the Japanese government had to cooperate with each other.
As a result, onmyojis have very frequent contacts and exchanges with ordinary people.
According to Huang Quan, if ordinary people witness the scene of Onmyoji eliminating spirits, they will not even have their memory erased, they only need to go to the relevant government department to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
"For 10 yen, it's fine if you don't sell it."
Bell has no interest in being taken advantage of.
"Brother, your joke is too much, you know, this is..."
Bell, who was too lazy to talk nonsense, turned around and left.
"Wait! It's sold!"
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, Bell put this emerald green jade hook on Shanna's neck.This made the little girl very happy.
By the way, the yen in Bell's hand was obtained by selling gems.Although Gallon can also be exchanged for Japanese yen as ordinary gold, it is really a blood loss.Even if Bell is a daily prodigal, he would not choose to do that.
"Bell..."
Huang Quan hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter, Miss Huang Quan? Just say what you have to say, there's no need to worry about this or that."
Bell looked curiously at Huang Quan who was hesitating.
"You bought it too expensive. That pendant is of no use to an Onmyoji, so few people would care about it. If you negotiate the price, you should be able to buy it for 4 to 5 yen."
Although Huang Quan can be said to be a real eldest lady, she usually does not have much money at her disposal.
And the salary of the countermeasure room, to be honest, is really not very high.Not to mention she was still an intern.
"It's okay. As long as Shanna is happy."
Bell reached out and rubbed his sister's little head.The little girl was happily playing with the jade pendant.
