When Fang Zheng walked into the ward, the first thing he saw was Heine chatting and laughing with his sister.

"Yo, how do you feel?"

"Ah, Master Fang Zheng."

Seeing Fang Zheng, Heine hurriedly sat up respectfully.

"Everything is normal. The doctor said I can try to get out of bed in one day."

As mentioned before, after discussing with Fiore, Heine agreed to let the Istari family join the Thousand World Tree. Of course, for this purpose, he personally came to the Thousand World Tree headquarters in the Far East, and met Fang Zheng who had returned to his original form. After seeing Fang Zheng, Heine almost immediately accepted the invitation without hesitation - after all, being able to hold the thigh of a magician is a rare opportunity for any magician.

It was for this reason that Heine persuaded the Istari family. In fact, their family really had no other choice. After all, the Istari family's magic seal had mutated and had become something similar to cancer. It would absorb the vitality of anyone who was transplanted into the body. In this case, the Istari family's magic seal was almost useless. And the Istari family knew what kind of treatment a magic family would receive if it lost its magic seal.

Therefore, although they were reluctant, they had to follow Heine's advice and migrate their family to the Far East to join the ranks of the Thousand World Trees. After all, it was better than complete decline.

Fang Zheng personally repaired Heine's body. Because the magic mark took too long to mutate and the time flow was too complicated, Fang Zheng simply cut off Heine's leg that was corroded by the magic mark, and then used the third method to make a new one for him... Well, it was also an experiment.

"That's good. Rosalind will start studying in the magic classroom from next week. Don't worry, the students there are all good kids, and Flowers is also there."

"Ah, thank you, Master Fang Zheng."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Rosalind, who was sitting beside the bed, also showed a slightly relaxed smile. Indeed, for Rosalind, coming to a foreign country was already a very stressful thing, and studying among a group of strangers was even more stressful. If there was a familiar face among them, it would naturally be a good thing.

but……

"Um... Master Fang Zheng, is Sister Red Ponytail here too?"

"Well……"

Hearing Rosalind's timid question, Fang Zheng's expression stiffened for a moment.

"No, Red Ponytail has other things to do. She is not a member of the magic classroom."

"Really..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Rosalind sighed slightly in disappointment. Looking at her expression, Fang Zheng smiled and reached out to touch her little head.

"Well, you will have a chance to meet again in the future... Oh, sorry, someone wants to see me, so I have to leave first."

After noticing the communication coming from his personal terminal, Fang Zheng said hello to the two of them and left the ward. Afterwards, he went to the corner outside and turned on the communication terminal. Soon, Fiore's face appeared in front of Fang Zheng.

"What's wrong, Fiore?"

"It's like this, Master Fang Zheng. I'm sorry to bother you during your busy schedule, but I have something urgent to do."

Fiore on the other side of the screen had a serious expression on her face.

"Just now, Ryougi Shiki received an invitation from the Mystic Eye Collection Train."

"Magic Eye Collection Train? What is that?"

"As the name suggests, it is a train that collects various kinds of magic eyes and runs through the forests of Europe. I heard that a batch of magic eyes are exhibited there every year, and an auction is held there."

"Auction?"

"Yes."

Fiore nodded.

"From what I've heard, that train seems to be the only place where the Mystic Eye can be safely removed and transplanted."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. Of course, he knew what Fiore meant. Transplanting a magic eye was different from transplanting an ordinary eyeball. The magic eye contained great power, but it was also extremely fragile. Removing it was already very difficult, or in other words, it was impossible for ordinary people to remove the magic eye. If you just do it like ordinary eye removal techniques, the magic eye will be scrapped immediately. Even magicians don't have such skills.

"So? Are you planning on removing your Mystic Eyes? If so, why don't you just come to me directly?"

What is this magic eye collection train? Is it stronger than me?

"No, Ryougi-san has no intention of removing the Demonic Eye."

"Then why not just ignore it?"

“That’s the problem.”

"What's the meaning?"

"It's like this..."

Faced with Fang Zheng's question, Fiore was somewhat embarrassed.

"According to what I heard, the invitation to the so-called Mystic Eye Collection Train is not just an invitation, but a notice... Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, they will seize the other party's Mystic Eye..."

"Oh, that's interesting. So that means that's actually the Phantom Thief's notice, right?"

Now Fang Zheng understood what Fiore meant. Apparently, the invitation letter actually meant "We like your magic eye. It's ours, whether you give it to us or not."

Oh, you came to our Thousand Worlds Tree to cause trouble? You think I don't exist, right?

"Not only Ryougi-san, Asagami-san has also been invited."

Very good, it seems that you are here to cause trouble.

"I see."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded.

"In that case, I will let Red Ponytail take them there... Oh, by the way, call all the students with Mystic Eyes in the classroom. This will be a good opportunity for them to get close to and feel the importance of Mystic Eyes."

"I see."

Although he could ignore it, Fang Zheng would not just sit there and wait for death. As the saying goes, it is better to attack them directly and beat those idiots, so that they will clearly understand whose fist is bigger.

However……

"Why is it Britain again?"

Looking at the dilapidated train station in front of him, Fang Zheng, who had transformed into a red ponytail again, was too lazy to even complain.

"What's so good about this crappy place! The fish and chips are terrible, and the starry sky is so ugly. Don't these idiots have any sense of aesthetics? It's better to put it in Central Europe than in the UK! At least we can still see the local customs and culture."

“Ahahahahaha…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's complaints, Asagami Fujino and Seo Shizune, who were following behind her, gave a bitter smile, while Ryougi Shiki yawned - she had to adjust to the jet lag after flying from Japan to London, and she seemed to not have adjusted yet.

"But this is the address? Isn't this just an abandoned train station?"

Fujino took out the invitation letter and compared it with the dilapidated train station in front of her. There was not even a ghost nearby. This place was already considered the suburbs of London... To be honest, if it weren't for Qianjieshu's exclusive private car here, most drivers would probably not be willing to drive here.

"But the people who look here should be this damn place."

Fang Zheng glanced at the platform not far away, and saw several people standing there in strange clothes. Compared with them, Fang Zheng's group's clothes seemed a bit conspicuous - except for Red Ponytail who was wearing a white top and jeans as usual, the other three were wearing Liyuan's girls' school uniforms, and they looked like they were on a school trip abroad...

Well, in fact, the three of them did ask for leave in the name of school trip.

"Are those people also holders of the Mystic Eye?"

Looking at the people in different clothes in the distance, Seo Shizune asked curiously, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows, but they are probably buyers. Fiore said this train is mainly for buying and selling magic eyes, so these people should be the buyers."

"So? Are we going to do it now?"

Although she hasn't adjusted to the time difference yet, Ryougi Shiki is already a little impatient.

"Wait and see. The real boss hasn't come yet. There's no point in causing trouble for them. I'll tell you when the time comes for you to take action."

Fang Zheng glanced helplessly at Ryougi Shiki beside him. She seemed to be quite looking forward to this trip - one could even say that she was a little eager to go.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came.

"Woo, why are you here!"

"Um?"

Fang Zheng turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Not far away, he saw LORD El-Melloi II looking at the red ponytailed girl in front of him as if he had seen a ghost, and he unconsciously covered his stomach.

"Hey, isn't this Weber? I didn't expect you to be here, and Gray, hello."

As he spoke, he waved to the two of them. Seeing Fang Zheng's greeting, El-Melloi II sighed helplessly. As for the hooded girl Gray standing next to him, she bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng.

"Long time no see, Miss Red Ponytail."

"It hasn't been that long, only two or three months... But it's really fate that we meet again. What are you doing here? Are you here to buy the magic eye as well?"

"this……"

Faced with Fang Zheng's question, Gray didn't know how to answer, and at this time El-Melloi II stood up.

"That's about right. What about you guys? You probably didn't come here for sightseeing."

"Of course not."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng pointed at the girls around him.

"These girls around me received an invitation letter from the Magic Eye Collection Train, so I brought them here to see who is so bold as to dare to touch our Thousand Worlds Tree."

Having said that, Fang Zheng turned his gaze to the other person next to El-Melloi II and frowned.

"This is……"

"Hello, I'm Coles Folvig."

The boy with black-rimmed glasses, who looked younger than his actual age, hurriedly introduced himself respectfully. But Fang Zheng certainly knew him, after all, they had fought side by side in the Holy Grail War in Romania. If I remember correctly, at that time, Corles was still the master of Berserker, and after the Holy Grail War, he stayed in the family... I remember Fiore seemed to have said that he took the initiative to ask to go to the Clock Tower as a spy...

So this is El-Melloi II's army? No... um... never mind...

"Hello."

Fang Zheng nodded to Coles in front of him, said hello, and then snapped his fingers.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is our Thousand World Tree's spellcaster apprentice."

"My name is Seo Shizune."

"My name is Asagami Fujino."

"Ryougi Shiki."

Facing El-Melloi II, the three introduced themselves in their own different styles. El-Melloi II frowned when he heard Fang Zheng's introduction.

"A spellcaster? Isn't that a magician?"

"Of course, spellcasters are beings that pursue the truth of this world and manipulate legal principles. They are fundamentally different from you magicians who are second-hand dealers."

Fang Zheng chuckled.

However, at this moment, suddenly, a childish and arrogant voice sounded.

"You are so arrogant. To you, are magicians so insignificant?"

Along with this voice, a girl with long silver-white hair, who looked to be about eleven or twelve years old, appeared in front of Fang Zheng and El-Melloi II.
