Chapter 118: Weber's Predecessor
According to Barthomero's style and Lorelea's upbringing, it was impossible to say things like "standing in the position of my brother", but who made her "Dark Hand" a person who is very fond of family affection and has a very good relationship between brothers and sisters, and it has also been slightly affected over time.
Her voice was not loud, and her tone did not fluctuate, but she had an irresistible majesty.
Weber's momentum that was originally in control of the overall situation involuntarily weakened: "Because the matter is urgent, I can only think of such an operation. β
"Ahem. Melvin coughed twice, "Your Majesty, their brother and sister get along in a special way. Rhaenys often makes trouble for Webb, and Webber does not give Rhaenys any less trouble. In their eyes, trouble equals a good relationship, and when they don't make trouble for each other, that's what is wrong. Moreover, Lyays had engraved the 'Orange Journey' sign on the invitation before I came, indicating that she was ready to support Webb. The invitation states that up to two companions are allowed, and these two spots are reserved for Rhaenys. β
As he spoke, the young man wiped the corners of his bleeding mouth and raised the invitation in his hand.
"That's true, so it is, it seems that I am doing it too much. Loreleia nodded thoughtfully, "Then, Mr. Melvin, can you give me the place of Rhaenys, and I will pay you to your satisfaction." β
"No, no. The young man said in unison, his trademark smile of pleasure on his face, "Her Majesty's presence here in person is the best reward in itself. Oh, oh, what's going to happen next? β
Melvin didn't care, and Loreley didn't say much, focusing on Rodin, Lei, and the acting manager.
"According to the rules of the train, a few people should not stop me. β
"This ......"
Rodin and Lei looked at the acting manager, who looked hesitant, clearly worried.
Loreleia said, "I didn't have any other intention to come this time, just to visit. Although there were other people with them, their mission was to observe the anomaly of Anasiu, and they have now left by helicopter, so please rest assured. β
In just two sentences, he not only explained the way of arrival, but also expressed his sincerity in bringing his subordinates to the car, but boarding the car alone. Of course, there is also an element of secretly showing strength - if I let them go, it doesn't mean that I can't call them back, I will give you face, and you should not go too far.
"Well, I hope Miss Loreley is true to her word. β
After all, this one has long been famous in the Dead Apostle circle, and many Dead Apostles have fallen in front of her and her Clone team, among which there are even twenty-seven ancestors, and even the titular King of the Dead Apostles, "White Wing Gong", has suffered a small loss in the war with her.
"People of strength don't need to lie. The standard queen's answer, "Alright, Professor Wilwitt, without further ado, it's time to unravel the mystery - who is this pretender, the murderer of the members of the Clock Tower?"
"At this point, I only have to guess, not reason, but the hint is enough. β
Webb closed his eyes, lit a cigar, and muttered as if holding the key to open the door to truth.
"d Animsfia was also interested in the rituals of the Far East and, seven years ago, commissioned someone to investigate, and finally came to the conclusion that the rituals were incomplete and did not participate in the necessary ones. β
"Someone who can win over Yvette and give her a huge amount of money enough to get the magic eye. β
"I learned about the modern magic department (Noligi) that I was able to turn into a mere student...... At the same time, they are still able to open the Mystic Lock on the safe containing the relics. β
The imposter nodded at each of the elements he listed.
Mars fell, and the answer was announced.
"It's normal that you can open the safe. At the end of the day, that safe is made by you. The 'Former Head of Learning' of the Department of Modern Magic (Noligi). β
"Exactly. β
The impostor, or rather Webber's predecessor, smiled, a smile completely different from that of Corres, which, though male, was like a blooming flower.
"Modern magic (Noligi) existed before you came along. Although it is counted as one of the 12 main axes of the clock tower, there is no Lord, and it is just an ornament to meet the needs of the times. None of the 12 families take it seriously, they just think that they can increase the number of Ne Age who are cheap labor. I found it boring, so I gave up the position of the dean of school, and also gave up the pedantic and conservative clock tower. Recently, though, there seems to have been a lot of change, with the new Lord Barthomero seeking reforms, and the modern magic department, which was originally just a decoration, has become brilliant because of a magician from a civilian background like meβso I can't help but want to take a closer look at what the new dean is doing. β
The imposter blinked as he spoke.
Twice, three times...... In his fifth blink, the boy disappeared and was replaced by a complete stranger.
The man could not tell his age, from twenty-five to forty-five, whichever number in the middle felt acceptable, tall and thin, with flaming red hair, and his fair skin made a deep impression. And the clothes on his body have also turned into a navy blue suit - even the clothes can be changed, which belongs to the realm of the animal family (Chimera), and the combination of clothing transformation and the empathy of the sΓ©ance family is the highest field of transformation magic.
"My friends call me Dr. Heartless, and I'd be glad you could call me that. β
The only thing that hasn't changed is the smile on his face. It looks mild, but it feels creepy.
"It turned out to be Noligi's best member ever, 'Swap' - I didn't expect to see you here. β
Lorelea's expression remained unchanged, and she looked very calm. Only Shinji knew that her heart was not as calm as it seemed, and the trembling tail of the magic whip was the only flaw.
One of the famous legends of Britain. There are mysterious elves in the land of Britain who like to play all kinds of pranks, such as changing your shoes, cleaning your room, or, more seriously, abducting people directly.
It is said that most of the humans who have been abducted by the goblins will never be able to return to the common sense called the modern era.
It's a far other side that even magic can't reach.
Or, the godsend of the abyss they desire.
One such person is Hatres, who was robbed by the goblins and had his heart stolen by the goblins. The so-called Hatres, Heartless comes from this.
"After all, before you became a lord, before Velvet took over the Modern Magic Division, I had left the Clock Tower and could not witness it in person. β
"Yes, after killing a lot of magiciansβwhen I read the files, I suspected it was you. β
Loreleia's eyes were cold, she represented the rules of the clock tower, and Hartres was the one who broke the rules and had to be punished.
"It's an honour to be remembered by the current Barsermero. β
Targeted by the highest peak of modern magicians, Hatteres still maintains a flowery smile.
"yes, let's make you more honored. β
The whip-like wand was raised, and the cyan air flow swirled with a biting murderous aura.
"It's not good for young people to be so anxious, Velvett's reasoning show is not over yet, and his most obsessive - hydunit has not yet been explained. Although it is not impossible for me to explain, it still makes him say that it is more interesting, and it is rare to prepare such a good stage. β
Why go to sin.
What is the purpose to be achieved even if you do not hesitate to commit crimes?
Webber didn't let him, made everyone wait for a long time, and spoke briskly.
"This incident is wreckage, and your true purpose has been accomplished. β
That's right, killing Trissa is to rule out accidents, and fighting for the "Bubble Eye" is just an additional incident, and it's good to get it, but it doesn't matter if you don't get it.
Hatres's goal has long been achieved.
It all started 10 years ago, in 1994, with the Fourth Holy Grail War.
At that time, the brightest figure of the clock tower, Lord Al Meloi, traveled to Fuyuki City, Japan, and disappeared for three years, and almost everyone thought he was dead.
This incident gave rise to the Lord of the Celestial Sect, Marisbilly Yasmiret Animsfia. In order to find out the truth about the ritual, Marisbilly commissioned a man to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Fuyuki's ritual, and he was Dr. Hartres, then Minister of Modern Magic Science.
Hatress has a secret technique that allows him to manipulate the Magic Eye of others by plucking their heads and keeping their brains immortal. Also seven years ago, the "headhunter serial murder case" was to collect those heads with magic eyes.
Through the power of the Demon Eye accumulated in his hands, Hatteres made a detailed analysis of Fuyuki City's spiritual veins, and came to the conclusion that the Holy Grail War was incomplete and could not become the "universal wishing machine" in the description.
Marisbilly knew what Hatteres was capable of, so he didn't doubt it. But he couldn't tell anyone such a big secret, so Olga Marie and Trissa didn't know, which led to Trisia's tragedy.
This incident also became a turning point in fate, a divergence in the world line.
PS: Mita is still amazing, and it is really amazing to be able to connect all the world lines here.
