Chapter 23 The art of calling

The Art of Calling the Gate

There has never been a shortage of people on the continent of Teyvat who are good at discovering problems. Regarding the origin of the demon god, there are always people who are looking for the truth behind it.

But sometimes, the devil himself may not even know his origin, such as Phoenix.

He wasn't even sure if Phoenix was his real name, but he was used to it and he didn't want to change it anymore. It was troublesome.

There was only one sentence that he remembered clearly. It was an erratic voice that repeated only one sentence back and forth.

Bird, why can it fly?

Phoenix glanced hesitantly at the unconscious girl in his arms and left without looking back.

He didn't like this world. There was a burning smell in the air. The faces of people passing by were filled with panic and confusion, and their eyes showed confusion as they came and went in a hurry.

Phoenix pulled up the hood behind his back and walked between high-rise buildings like a flexible cat. He needed information and a safe house where the girl could be placed.

His goal is Himeko in this world.

In order to deceive the laws of heaven and get rid of the constraints of the divine throne, he abandoned the body of the demon god.

Most of the body he is using now comes from the dead Elemental Dragon King, and some comes from the unknown fire elemental energy fragments that drifted with Wuliang Tajizi, and finally became the lines all over his arms.

According to Wuliang Tower, that is the power called Stigmata.

And now, he can just rely on the induction to find the Infinite Tower in this world. Late at night, Wuliangta Jizi, who was lying on the bed at St. Freya Academy, suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils tightened, and she looked towards the huge floor-to-ceiling window, which was in the direction of the school gate. 

Now, it's ablaze. 

"Alarm, the intruder is breaking through the outer defense. Please move all students as soon as possible. Please take your place for the A-level and above Valkyrie. Repeat..." 

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the school, whether it was students or teachers. , and took action immediately. 

"Is this energy intensity... the new Herrscher?" Theresa, the principal of St. Freya Academy, immediately became nervous and stared at the figure shrouded in white robes on the screen. 

Could it be the Lawyer of Flame? No, if it was true, why would he target St. Freya Academy? This is unreasonable. 

Looking at the soldiers who quickly gathered together and the perseverance and determination in their eyes, the red-haired god only released his strength and did not damage any public property and nodded with satisfaction. 

Along the way, he also heard about the deeds of these children. They were a group of warriors who did their best to protect the future of mankind. Facing these children, he had no intention of taking action. 

A short girl with silver hair and blue eyes, dressed as a nun, walked out of the crowd and looked seriously at the uninvited guest outside the door. 

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" 

Phoenix extinguished the flame, and the surroundings returned to silence. The huge searchlights were all pointed at him, as if he was an idol standing in the spotlight. 

"I am not a Herrscher, but a fire demon from another world. My name is Phoenix. I came to Wuliangta Jizi for help. It would be great if there was a doctor and three meals. In return, you can also entrust me with it. Deal with contaminants like Honkai Beasts!" Phoenix cleared his throat and replied loudly. 

After saying that, he waited for the answer from the silver-haired nun at the door. Her red eyes were full of seriousness. He really had no money to eat, and Maura didn't have to go out here. 

Theresa was also dumbfounded, and carefully looked at the male in front of her who was suspected of being a Herrscher. 

He looked like a young man, wearing a hooded snow-white robe, with only his face and hands exposed. His long red curly hair was suppressed by white hair, with only a few strands of hair slipping out from his cheeks. He was full of beauty. Exquisite gold jewelry, including ten faintly visible rings on her hands. 

Compared to the soft and gorgeous robes, the boy's facial features are extremely aggressive. Especially when he is not making an expression, it is more of a murderous aura than a boy's heroic spirit. 

But when he smiles, the only thing left is his infectious charm that makes people believe in him. He doesn't look like a hot-blooded idiot. 

Theresa folded her arms while thinking, "Why should I trust you, a stranger?" 

Phoenix smiled slyly, "Just because this body has parts of Infinite Princess, is that okay?" 

"Ah!?" 

Now not only Wuliangta Jizi, but also Kiana, Mei and Bronya who had sneaked over could not help but exclaim, and some calm squad leaders also lost their expressions. 

"Are you the son of Teacher Jizi?" Kiana couldn't hold back and asked in the face of Wuliangta Jizi's murderous gaze. 

Phoenix shook his head, "No, it's just that there was a lack of materials when making this body. It's not the so-called blood relationship in humans." 

"Not... blood?" Jizi couldn't help but walked forward, approached the door, and looked at it seriously. Looking at the red-haired boy who was always smiling outside the door. 

Phoenix looked at Wuliangta Jizi, blinked his eyes habitually, and then rolled up his loose robe sleeves. 

"Hiss..." 

Everyone present gasped. Starting from the shoulder blades all the way down, the young man's arms were covered with strange black and red lines, and the terrifying cracks around them showed that this was not so. Simple. 

Teresa was silent. The lines were the same. These were suspected to be... no, they were stigmata. Its original origin was Wuliang Tajizi. 

Everyone's eyes turned to Wuliangta Jizi, the heroic red-haired Valkyrie with a high ponytail. After hesitating for a long time, she nodded slowly. 

"It is indeed the same, but if I guessed correctly, it is already a new stigmata, and it is a stigmata that cannot be used by human bodies." 

Jizi's words made everyone nervous again. If Jizi said is true, then what is the “person” in front of me? 

I didn’t expect that the Infinite Tower of current time would be so difficult to fool. 

Phoenix slandered secretly, feeling a little self-defeating, "According to Liyue, you should be polite first and then go to war. Since etiquette doesn't work now, I'm going to go to war!" 

"Wait!" Theresa interrupted Phoenix's actions, "I believe it. You." 

Phoenix was stunned for a moment, and immediately ran away without saying a word. Soon, he came over pushing a wheelchair. 

"Come on, compliment me, I am a diplomatic genius." The Fire Demon God, who had no self-awareness, said proudly while pushing his wheelchair. 

The girl with windy hair sitting in the wheelchair endured it again and again. She couldn't bear it anymore and said to Phoenix with a speechless face, "How can there be a god like you? Is this how you govern?" 

Phoenix stopped. Wheelchair, he glanced at the people on the other side of the door, then at Wendy in the wheelchair, and said proudly: "How could..." 

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, he continued, "I usually Just do it directly." 

"Thank you so much..." Theresa's mouth twitched, and she didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only look at the girl in the wheelchair who had her eyes closed and didn't want to look at this violent god. 

"You are...Wendy?! How could you..." Teresa exclaimed, holding the hem of her nun's uniform and running forward, grabbing the railing with both hands and looking intently at the girl in the wheelchair.

Wendy's eyes wandered, and her hands on her legs clenched tightly into fists: "I'm sorry, Theresa, I..."

Theresa immediately greeted and opened the door before she could finish her words, "You come in first, Tianming will definitely look for you again. If you have any questions, please come in. Jizi, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Phoenix."

Jizi nodded and looked at Lao Zhidao, who was standing half a step behind her, looking at him with a smile. The so-called devil who stunned the girl who was hurriedly pushed away by Teresa.

"Okay...leave it to me."

Phoenix turned his gaze to the corner not far away, where a snow-white braid was exposed. He remembered the girl with double braids in the crowd, who looked very lively.

Jizi followed Phoenix's gaze, her face darkened for a moment, and she said loudly and in a long voice, "Ki-ya-na!"

"Oh, Ji...Major Jizi." The girl scratched her face in embarrassment. Scratching his head, he saw two people following behind him, a girl with purple hair who looked like an Inazuma warrior, and a girl with gray twin tails who looked like a doll.

"Idiot Kiana." The gray-haired doll girl complained mercilessly.

"Bronya is obviously the idiot, don't you think so, Mei." Kiana retorted mercilessly.

Mei Yi sighed, looked at the two people under surveillance, and said helplessly, "Now is not the time to argue about this."

"Is your surname Lei Dian? I have an old friend who is very similar to you. Her name is Lei Qianqian." Phoenix looked at Mei, his eyes bright.

"Are you also a kitchen killer?"

"Mei is not a kitchen killer!" Kiana immediately retorted, "Mea Yi doesn't know that movie, Mei's cooking is the most delicious in the world."

Phoenix said enviously Looking at them, there was nostalgia in his narrowed eyes, "Then... it should be true."
