For Fang Zheng, the moment he killed Shiba Tatsuya, his mission in this world was completed. If he wanted to leave, he could just leave. But unfortunately, Fang Zheng couldn't do that... After the protagonist was eliminated, the direction of the world would undergo major changes and alterations. In other words, after the original order based on the protagonist disappeared, Fang Zheng had to take responsibility to create a new order...

Otherwise, if he leaves, the rules of this world will become chaotic, and it might become a hotbed of chaos...which will be even more troublesome.

As for how to do it, Fang Zheng already had a plan.

That is to learn from the examples of Academy City and String God Island and build a magician's autonomous territory in Japan. As for the specific approach, Fang Zheng plans to learn from Aleister and directly buy a piece of land, and then turn it into an autonomous territory exclusively for magicians. As for the rules and the like, Fang Zheng does not need to plan from scratch. After all, whether it is "Academy City" as a base for training people with special abilities or "String God Island" as a demon autonomous territory, they are both experienced in this regard. If Fang Zheng follows this route, the possibility of success is not small.

In fact, after returning to China, Fang Zheng made his own suggestions to the Japanese government. Of course, he said that there were not enough magicians, and it was stupid to divide them into one to nine colleges and universities, and to disperse the students and teachers. Therefore, it would be better to concentrate the forces in one place, which would not only facilitate management, but also prevent the recurrence of the previous nine-school war.

Fang Zheng also said that society's attitude towards magicians was already problematic, and leaving it alone would only lead to bigger problems. Instead of doing that, it would be better to completely isolate the two sides.

Of course, the Japanese government is unwilling to do this, but they are not fools and naturally understand why Fang Zheng made this suggestion at this time - of course, on the surface, this is a suggestion, but in fact, it is a "request."

The establishment of a magician's autonomous territory means that the government's influence on magicians will be reduced, which is naturally not a good thing for a government that wants to control more powerful magicians to strengthen its military strength. In fact, the reason why the government allows the people to spread hate speech against magicians is also to control magicians.

It’s like, you see, ordinary people don’t like you, only the government can support you, and if you are unwilling to assist the government you will become a public enemy...like this.

Although they thought so, the government had no way to refuse.

Because what Fang Zheng gave them was an offer they couldn't refuse.

This confrontation completely established Fang Zheng's reputation and made other countries even more wary of Japan.

But on the other hand, this also means that all countries will be more concerned about competing for Fang Zheng. After all, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and judging from Fang Zheng's usual style of doing things, he is not very loyal to Japan. The Japanese government can't guarantee that if they reject his request, Fang Zheng will turn around and find another country willing to accept their suggestions to cooperate... If that happens, it will be really troublesome. After all, they don't have enough military force to control and threaten Fang Zheng.

In addition, Fang Zheng is also willing to spend a large sum of money to purchase the land needed by the dominion. Politicians who do not bow down to money must not be paid enough.

Not only that, what made the Japanese government even more depressed was that many magician families, including the Ten Masters, also supported Fang Zheng's proposal. The Ten Masters were not fools. They were originally artificial magicians created by the military as adjusters for military warfare. From this perspective, the Ten Masters had to rely on each other with the Japanese government and the military, establishing a symbiotic relationship like a vine and a tree.

But this does not mean that they will succumb to this symbiotic relationship, especially now that the war has been over for several years. The first generation of artificial magicians who were trained as war machines are now old, and the third generation of magicians grew up in an era without war. Naturally, they also have to consider the interests of their descendants and families.

However, it is impossible for magicians to seize power and control a country. If they only give up superficial rights and enjoy internal privileges, only a few people will benefit. As Nanakusa Hiroichi said to his daughter Nanakusa Mayumi, the Ten Master Clans gained internal privileges by giving up superficial political rights, but this "privilege" did not spread to the entire magician group. As vested interests, the Ten Master Clans can be satisfied with cooperating with the government in this form, but it does not mean that other magician families are willing to continue to hide from the light of day.

Of course, if someone else had proposed it, the Ten Master Clans might not have expressed their views clearly, but Fang Zheng was different. He had already proved with his own strength that he was the strongest magician in the world. It could even be said that if it were not now, but in the war era decades ago, perhaps if he had only called for "building a country for magicians", many magicians would have responded to his call and really established a country that belonged to magicians themselves.

Ordinary people don't need a king.

Because there is not much difference in individual strength between ordinary people, the president can be assassinated by a mentally ill person, and the general can die in a car bomb attack, so the existence of the king is meaningless.

But magicians are different.

Magicians need a king, and only the strongest one can become the king.

These are values ​​that ordinary people cannot understand, and only those who possess the power to change the fate of others are "qualified" to possess.

Being able to command tens of thousands of soldiers does not mean anything, and having brilliant strategies is also useless. When the opponent can destroy a city or even a country in an instant, hard power becomes the only evaluation criterion.

The only ones who are qualified to give them orders are those who are stronger than them.

In fact, the Ten Master Clans were also very clear that although those politicians were very polite to them, they were also afraid of people like them who had strange powers that ordinary people could never have. And fear brought fear, fear brought threats, and threats brought death and destruction.

When facing the Third World War, they had to seek the help of magicians to protect their country, their power and status. But now that the war is over, the magicians can no longer be locked up in warehouses like ordinary weapons. For those politicians, they may find themselves opening a Pandora's box, which will lead to self-destruction.

Therefore, even the Ten Master Clans must find an opportunity to avoid embarking on the path of doom.

Fang Zheng knew this very well, but he didn't care.

Especially now.

"Come to think of it, it's really lively."

Holding the champagne in his hand and looking at the lively banquet hall in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

After returning to Japan, Fang Zheng accepted Kitayama Shizuku's invitation and attended her family party. Of course, in addition to Fang Zheng, Chiba Erica and Shibata Mitsuki were also invited as partners and good friends of the club. As for Mitsui Honoka, she was originally regarded as a daughter by Kitayama Shizuku's parents, so she would naturally attend.

However……

"Don't you think it's annoying to see those relatives shamelessly bringing strangers to their family's banquets? As long as it doesn't involve business, Chaodi really dotes on his family."

The woman standing next to Fang Zheng and grumbling at the banquet hall in front of him was a woman Fang Zheng had never met before. Of course, to put it simply, before this, at least he knew that the woman in front of him was Kitayama Shizuku's mother, Kitayama Chao's wife - Kitayama Hongyin.

But Fang Zheng didn't understand why she wanted to drag him here to chat about family matters.

Is it because I’m handsome?

But then again, I really don't know how Shizuku developed that personality.

Looking at Kitayama Hongyin who was complaining beside him, Fang Zheng was also quite puzzled. From his observation, Kitayama Chao was a very cheerful and straightforward man, and his wife Hongyin, although a bit shrewd, was also an extrovert. He couldn't understand how such a couple could raise a girl like Kitayama Shizuku who was expressionless and cold on weekdays.

It doesn't look like there is any family discord, nor does it look like there is any childhood trauma.

Could it be because of reaction? Was it because her parents talked too much that Kitayama Shizuku became like this?

After complaining like a Northeastern auntie, Beishan Hongyin seemed to have vented her anger and turned to look at Fang Zheng again.

"By the way, do you have a crush on someone now?"

"Here? It's hard to say at this point."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Beishan Hongyin stared at Fang Zheng curiously, looking him up and down.

"What does this mean?"

"I am definitely attracted to cute and attractive girls, but if you ask me whether I would fall in love with a particular person regardless of everything, the answer is no."

Fang Zheng shrugged and took a sip of champagne, while Beishan Hongyin stared at him, seemingly not intending to let Fang Zheng go.

"So what do you think of Honoka? That girl's looks, personality, and figure are all top-notch. Not only that, that girl is very useful and will serve you loyally."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and put down his wine glass.

"To be honest, I personally don't really believe in this kind of market rumor."

Fang Zheng certainly understood what Kitayama Hongyin was talking about. This was not a mockery of Mitsui Honoka, but of Mitsui Honoka's birth - she was born into an elemental family, a descendant of magicians who developed traditional magic before the four major systems and eight major types of modern magic were determined.

It was rumored that when this development was being carried out, the rulers had scientists adjust the body of the magicians in order to avoid the situation where the magicians were out of control. In other words, they would have an extremely dependent mentality. To put it bluntly, they would be heavily dependent on someone, usually the opposite sex. To put it bluntly, this was to control their minds through genetic manipulation and make them dependent on them, thus ensuring that the magicians of the Elemental Family would not rebel against their "masters".

Honoka Mitsui was born into an elemental family, so naturally she also possesses this trait.

But Fang Zheng didn't believe it.

"You don't believe it?"

"Of course, it's hard to come up with actual examples for spiritual matters. I personally tend to think that this is just a form of brainwashing or hypnosis. After all, everyone wants to rely on others, just to varying degrees. Even without magicians, there have been murders among ordinary people due to excessive dependence. So I think that the idea that people in the elemental family will completely obey each other because they fall in love with someone is just an unfounded rumor. After all, even if that's not the case, there are still many solid love couples."

"That's an interesting statement. It makes me more and more interested in your identity, Kasugano-kun."

Beishan Hongyin shook her wine glass and stared at Fang Zheng.

"Who are you anyway?"

"This question...I think it's better for you not to know the answer."

Fang Zheng smiled slightly.

“Some things are better not known.”

"Yeah?"

"Of course, if you are worried that I will harm your husband or daughter, then you can tell me directly and I will find an opportunity to cut off ties with them. I am not stupid, and I understand what you mean, so this is not a unilateral request from me. If you think this is not a beneficial cooperative relationship, then we can part ways amicably."

Having said that, Fang Zheng casually placed the cup on the tray beside him, then bowed slightly to Beishan Hongyin, and then turned and left.

Beishan Hongyin stared at Fang Zheng's back carefully without saying a word.
