"Not going to fight anymore?"
George returns to the real world, above the town park.
Reiya of Takizawa, who had put away the sun's staff, smiled with half-closed eyes and said:
"No more fighting. You're a Li family member, and you have such strength. I can tell you the truth."
"If he really puts forth his full strength, and at the end is unable to defeat the opponent but can't get the upper hand either, then there's no need to continue."
His goal is to fulfill Kurogane's dying wish while achieving his own objectives.
Not wanting to tell the truth to this senior of the Li family is because I'm afraid that this senior of the Li family might cause trouble in the end over the ownership of the Kuro cards.
But it seems that the other party has already obtained forces that are not inferior to his own, and it's unlikely that he would be greedy for the Kuro cards again. Moreover, if he really wants to take them, it would be difficult for him to stop them. It might be better to tell the truth and then slowly discuss matters.
"Please enlighten me."
George nodded.
In reality, he had already used his full strength, but Zhiangze Ayu had still shown an easy expression, so it was likely that he would still lose in the end.
However, since two magic minions have been used, it indicates that even if there is a gap, it is no longer as large.
In any case, his goal isn't really to defeat Zhiangze Ayu; it's just to have contact and establish a connection for the sake of communicating about magic.
"The story has to start with Kurori. I am the reincarnation of a part of his soul."
Zhiangze Ayu did not conceal anything further, revealing all of the information and his intentions behind the plan.
George listened to this and pretended to be sighing:
"Which explains why your staff looks so familiar, and it's the same as the sun staff in our Li family records of Kurori, and you can also use magic from all Kuro cards."
Unfortunately, my Li Xiaolang is destined not to inherit the Kuro cards.”
"While Sayo was chosen as Kurori's successor, however, with your observations over these past few years, you should understand."
"Even if Sayo is the successor of the Kuro cards, isn't the Li family still the winner in the end?"
Zhiangze Ayu remained with a smiling expression.
George watched as Zhiangze Ayu started laughing heartily.
"You, that's also true.
Alright, I won't interfere with your plan.”
The meaning in Zhiangze Ayu's words was clear: even though Sayo is destined to inherit the Kuro cards, with Sayo eventually marrying Xiao Long, she will still be part of the Li family.
The Li family not only obtained the Kuro cards, but also gained a powerful Kuro card inheritor. Isn't that the biggest winner?
Therefore, as an elder of the Li family, Li Xuan should not prevent Sayo from obtaining the Kuro cards for the sake of the Li family.
"But, I have a condition."
The tone changed suddenly, and George suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Zhiangze Ayu.
All of the previous actions were for show, not his true focus. His real concern was with the sentence below.
"You've also noticed that I not only use the Taoist techniques of our Li family, but I also study Western magic and learn from Kurori's approach of combining Eastern and Western methods."
So I've been studying the magical principles in the Kuro cards recently.
If you have inherited Kurori's memories, would you be willing to guide me?”
"I wouldn't dare to act as a guide, but exchanging magical insights should be fine."
Zhiangze Ayu didn't hesitate and nodded at once.
He is not the type who pursues magical limits and strives to become the strongest magician, otherwise he wouldn't have wanted Sayo to help him share half of his magical power.
Therefore, he wouldn't mind if George surpasses him after their magical exchange.
This condition is not much of a problem for him.
"Yes, mutual exchange."
Seeing that the matter was settled, George no longer lingered and asked for Zhiangze Ayu's address for staying in the town, then teleported away.
"I didn't think there would be a magician who could match your level in this world."
Lovia Moore, behind her with fluttering butterfly wings and looking like a young girl, watched as George's back faded away, her face full of astonishment.
While having a similar appearance to a black panther and the same butterfly wings, Spinel Sun replied with a steady tone:
"Ayu is just the reincarnation of half of Kurori's soul, not Kurori himself."
"So what, he's still the strongest magician in the world."
Lovia stuck out her tongue.
Zhiangze Ayu smiled and said:
"I am who I am, not Kurori, and I don't wish to become the world's strongest magician. As long as I can live the life I want, that's enough."
That's good, Mr. Li became the world's strongest magician, and it will be a lot easier for me."
The title of the world's strongest magician doesn't just represent honor, but also many troubles.
Because there are always people who want to challenge him to prove themselves, others who are greedy for his power, those who want to use his power, and those who encounter troubles and want to rely on him to solve them.
And he is someone who likes a quiet life, not fond of all the trouble.
One week later, night, Tokyo Tower.
George and Zhiangze Ayu were sitting on a cloud, watching the ongoing trial of the moon below.
During this past week, almost every day he had gone to exchange magical insights with Zhiangze Ayu, and their relationship had naturally become much more familiar.
During this same week, Sayo and Xiaolang had also gathered the last two Kuro cards together.
"Defeated, even without Kurori's magic, the combined strength of myself and the Moon is not something Xiao Liwang can handle."
Seeing that Xiao Liwang had no chance of defending himself against the Moon in the trial of the Moon, George shook his head secretly.
Xiao Liwang, despite his young age, is not weak when it comes to Daoist techniques among the adults in the Li family.
Out in the world, he would be capable of defeating at least 80% of magicians across the globe.
However, he was facing the magical minion judge of Kurori himself, the Moon.
Even though Kurori has passed away, the Moon's strength has significantly diminished without Kurori's magic, making it unfeasible for Xiao Liwang to handle.
This is the gap between a normal magician and Kurori.
"It's true that she's my daughter after all. The water she put in is almost like a sea."
After Xiao Liwang's defeat, it was Sayo's turn, and unlike the straightforward and decisive way she handled Xiao Liwang, she was much more lenient with the Moon when facing Sayo.
In fact, the condition of the Moon's trial is not to defeat the Moon in terms of strength, but to gain her recognition.
As the selector of the Kuro card inheritance, Xiaoke is undoubtedly in favor from the start.
Only with the recognition of both Xiaoke and the Moon can one truly inherit the Kuro cards and become the owner of them.
Since Xiao Liwang did not receive the recognition of Xiaoke, how could he become the heir? Therefore, the Moon initially used all of her strength and kicked him out.
The first trial failed, and Guan Yue Gfans appeared, using the bell of the Moon to gain Sayo another chance at the trial.
In George's view, the failure of the trial was a facade. The main purpose was to stimulate Sayo, to bring out her potential, which Kurori had already calculated before leaving this world.
As expected, when the second trial began, Sayo transformed her Bird Head staff into her own star staff and easily let the wind card take control.
