"Webb, what the hell do you want to do?"

Back in the room, the white-haired young man grabbed Ermelo II and asked loudly.

"It's impossible for Ermelo to be prepared to pay so much money now! Or do you want to provoke the Thousand Worlds Tree? ”

"I really don't have that much money."

Ermelo II nodded.

"But we have to move on, and once the auction is over, then it's all over."

"Have you ever wondered what if that eldest lady suddenly changed her mind and didn't plan to buy it? Isn't your Ermelo family doomed? This train isn't the kind of place where you can play white stripes! ”

The white-haired young man sighed helplessly.

"Actually, we've pretty much given up, haven't we? What's the use of you raising the price like this? As long as the eldest lady raises her hand, then it will be her victory in the end. ”

"Does Miss Red Ponytail have so much money?"

Hearing this, Gray next to her couldn't help but ask in surprise, frankly speaking, after the amount of hundreds of millions, she was about to faint, and at the current amount, this poor country girl can no longer imagine.

"Of course, you may not know that the Thousand Worlds Tree has become famous in the world in recent years, it controls the production and sales of semiconductor raw materials, as well as the pharmaceutical industry........."

Speaking of this, Ermelo II also shook his head helplessly. In fact, few people know about this kind of thing, after all, the Thousand Worlds Tree is indeed rich, but ordinary people really can't imagine it. This is also normal, for example, chip manufacturers, everyone knows AMD and Intel, but little is known about raw material suppliers such as Umicore and Nichia Chemical.

In fact, the products offered by these companies are not only secret weapons, but can be said to be household names, such as battery compounds, optoelectronic materials, LED optical components, battery raw materials, and so on. But for the public, the names of these companies are far less famous than those of Toshiba, Intel, Samsung and other companies.

However, the products they provide are the most indispensable.

To put it simply, Intel could go bankrupt and Samsung could go bankrupt, but a company like Umicore would almost never have to worry about its prospects and the sale of raw materials. Unless there is some new material that completely disrupts the current global technology and turns the old stuff into waste, they don't have to worry about anything.

Qianjieshu is also such a raw material supplier at present, they are mainly responsible for providing high-quality and low-cost semiconductor materials and raw materials for LED displays. With the rapid development of science and technology, with the help of Qianjieshu's own financial resources and Founder's forward-looking vision, Qianjieshu has become one of the world's largest raw material suppliers in just a few years.

It's just that most of the magicians don't care about technology and don't care, although some of them also control a lot of mines, but it is just a simple supply of raw materials, and the supply of high-tech raw materials are completely different things. Relying on grasping the opportunity and seizing the market, the current Thousand Worlds Tree ............ It's not much worse than the Twelve Monarch Family of the Clock Tower.

Not to mention that Founder can also get money from the CIA and FBI anytime and anywhere.

"But......... That's not good........."

Still, Grey didn't feel good. After all, no matter how rich the Thousand Worlds Tree is, it will not be played by people as fools, and now his master wants to shout the price obviously to delay time. If it's just a simple delay, but every time you shout, it means that the amount goes up, which means that Red Ponytail needs to spend more money to buy the magic eye.

It would have been fine if Red Ponytail had been her enemy, but she had only helped heal Ermelo II's wounds......... In Grey's opinion, her master is a bit of a revenge.

"At that point, I'll go and apologize to her personally."

That's all Ermelo II can say at the moment.

Soon, everyone returned to the Ten Thousand Demon Eyeball Vault, and the originally suspended auction began again. In fact, it seems that both Ermelo II and others have taken advantage of this opportunity to scrape together enough money and plan to fight a final battle.

As a result, the auction price began to rise all the way again, from 240 million to 260 million, and at this time, the pink-haired girl also joined the fight again, directly raising the price to 300 million.

Then, the auction price continued to rise, stopping once when it reached 370 million, and then the white-haired young man then increased to 400 million.

This time, Ryori Kano withdrew from the fight first, leaving only the white-haired youth and the pink-haired girl to confront each other.

Finally.........

"Five hundred million."

The pink-haired girl smiled again and held up the sign, while the white-haired youth silently chose to give up.

However, it was at this moment that Ermelo II raised his hand again.

"Please wait a minute."

Looking at Ermelo II's raised hand, the auctioneer shook his head.

"There will be no second break at this auction."

"It's not an intermission, I'm just trying to give MONOCULUS some proposals for the train."

Ermelo II spoke, but at this time.

"In that case, it's not too late to mention it when the auction is over."

Fang Zheng stood up.

"One billion, if no one robs it, I'll take it."

“………………………”

This time, no one spoke.

Although she had expected it, Grey also involuntarily covered her mouth, even the Shizune and Asagami Fujino beside Fang Zheng gasped at this time. A billion dollars, that's not a small amount. Although it is true that Red Ponytail has always succeeded in capturing the MONOCULUS for twice the highest price before, this time everyone thinks that Red Ponytail may not do it again. After all, in any case, it is already an exaggeration to rise to 500 million US dollars, and in their opinion, the red ponytail will add a maximum of 50 million to end the auction.

But unexpectedly, she still did not hesitate to give a price that no one could imagine.

"A billion dollars once, a billion dollars twice, a billion dollars three times......... Deal. ”

The auctioneer knocked down the gavel in his hand.

"Congratulations, Miss Red Ponytail."

"You're welcome, let's wait for the current play to finish."

Saying this, Fang Zheng glanced at Ermelo II.

"I'll settle accounts with you when I get back."

With that, she sat down and turned the PSP back on. Hearing the words of the red ponytail, Ermelo II also showed a wordless wry smile. Then he coughed, then beckoned to the side.

"Cowles, come here."

"Yes."

Hearing Ermelo II's shout, Caures walked to the center and opened his purse.

“………………！”

"That's?"

Seeing the contents of the leather bag, all the magicians present couldn't help but stir, and even the two ceremonies opened their eyes curiously and looked downward. I saw that what was exposed in the leather bag was the head of a woman.

To be exact, it was the head of Theresa, the first victim of the previous "MONOCULUS train murder case".

"For those of you who don't know anything about the incident, please allow me to take up your time, and I, as the monarch of the modern magic department, ask you."

At this, Ermelo II bowed solemnly, and the magicians did not say anything more. Now that the dust has settled, the Thousand Realms Tree has covered all the Demon Eyes in one go, and they can't get other Demon Eyes, in this case, just listen to what Ermelo II has to say in front of you here, and it will be regarded as passing the time.

"First of all, from this case, the victim Theresa was beheaded, and as Miss Kano said, the murderer was Karaber, using the power of the Bubble Eye that he possessed. But in fact, seven years ago in London, there was a similar series of killings, and the victims were all beheaded and their heads were missing. So, what do you think when you hear this? ”

As he spoke, Ermelo II spread his hands.

"That is, they're all dead."

“…………………？？？”

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent, and the two ceremonies were also stunned.

"Isn't that normal? If you lose your head, you will naturally die, right? ”

"It's different, ma'am."

Ermelo II shook his head.

"Now that we've proven that Theresa's head was hidden by herself, what about the others? What if we assume that the victims of seven years ago were all the bearers of the Magic Eye? ”

"So you mean that the prisoners killed those people in order to use the Magic Eye?"

This is where Olga Marie also gets to the point.

"But isn't it only on this train that the removal of the magic eye and transplant it to someone else can be done? If you say you're going to use the Magic Eye, are you also an accomplice here? ”

"Of course not."

Ermelo II shook his head.

"For this reason, the murderer did not take out the magic eye, but took the head away with him."

“？？？”

Hearing this, the two ceremonies, Shizune Seo and Fujino Asakami, both glanced at each other suspiciously, while the other magicians seemed to have thought of something, and Olga Marie also turned pale.

"So, you mean those heads ........."

"That's right."

Ermelo II nodded.

"The head of the victim was taken away, and he is still alive."

"Hey?!!"

Hearing this, the three girls suddenly cried out in surprise, while Fang Zheng snorted lightly.

"What's so surprising about this, isn't there already a similar experiment in modern medicine? By using instruments to simulate organs and transfuse blood flow, a gorilla's head can survive for several minutes. Even modern medicine can do it, and magic is certainly not a problem. ”

"Woo........."

In the face of Fang Zheng's explanation, the faces of the three girls were a little ugly, and Fujino Asagami even involuntarily reached out and touched his neck——— if he only had one head left, it would be better to live than to die!

It's better to die!

"But you've been talking for a long time, and you haven't said who the real murderer is."

"That's right."

At the moment when Ermelo II's words fell, suddenly, a white light flashed, and then turned into chains, restraining the young man holding the head to death.

"Old, teacher?"

Faced with this scene, Caures showed a surprised expression, while Ermelo II shook his head and looked at Caures.

"Manipulating Karaber. Frampton, killed Theresa. The real culprit of Filoz is you——— you. ”

"Huh?!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

"Wait, that one......... Not a student of Mr. Ermelo II? ”

"Oh, he's a fake."

Fang Zheng manipulated the plumber to pass another level, and at the same time casually answered Mute's inquiry.

"By the way, the Servant who attacked you before was also summoned by him."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, not only was it silent, but even the two ceremonies and Fujino were stupid.

"Really? Little Red? ”

"Of course, when you went to get rid of the son of the Hair Sealin, this guy came to my room and said that he wanted to cooperate with the Thousand Realms Tree, but I refused, so he manipulated the servants to attack you......... I wanted to take you hostage, but it turned out that you did a good job, so the guy ran away in embarrassment. ”

"Is that him?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the two ceremonies suddenly squinted their eyes dangerously and stood up, but fortunately, Fujino next to her quickly grabbed her.

"Wait, classmate Shi, don't get excited........."

At the same time, the restrained Cowles also showed an embarrassed expression.

"Teacher, are you serious? But based on that alone, I am a murderer........."

"Indeed, I have no evidence in my hands."

With this, Ermelo II turned his head.

"So, I've been waiting for him."

At the same time, the others followed Ermelo II's line of sight, and then showed surprised expressions.

"Thanks to you for catching up."

"I'm tired, teacher, but I'm glad I caught up."

The bespectacled boy sighed and looked down with a wry smile. His appearance, appearance, and even dress were exactly the same as those of the Caures below.

It is clear that this is Cowles himself.

"It really surprised me."

Seeing this, Cowles——— or someone who was pretending to be Cowles smiled.

"I also want to ask you, how did the real Caures get here? To be honest, I thought I would be able to find a way to fool the past if you used phone calls or magic tricks to expose it. ”

"Of course, it depends on Miss Ben's efforts."

At this moment, a second figure entered, she looked about the same age as Olga Marie, with blonde hair and bright red eyes that shone like burning.

"Because of my sister, who thinks about my brother, I flew here thousands of miles away and performed flying magic all the way."

"I slept well at home, but when I woke up, I didn't know when I ran into the abandoned building, and I thought someone had played an illusion on me, and it had been several days since I woke up!"

At this moment, Corres also gritted his teeth and glared at the impostor.

"Now, you can tell who you really are."

"Of course."

The other party blinked at Ermelo II's inquiry, and after a moment, the boy who had been bound before disappeared, replaced by a tall, thin man with flaming hair and fair skin. And the clothes on his body have also changed into a navy blue suit.

"You're the former head of the Modern Magic Division."

"That's right."

The man nodded.

"That's a good name, because I've never been a LORD, and I'm not like you. As for my name......... MY FRIENDS CALL ME DR. HATRES, AND IF YOU CAN CALL ME THAT, I'LL BE HAPPY. ”

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

"That's normal, after all, when you took over as the head of school, you didn't get a handover in person, and I had already given up on the clock tower at that time."

Hatres's expression didn't change in the slightest, still with a flat smile.

"By the way, what about my motives? Do you already have a conclusion? ”

"Of course."

Ermelo II pulled out a cigar——— but after a glance at the PSP's red ponytail, he had to take it back.

"Your purpose is to summon the Heroic Spirit."

"That's right."

Hatress snapped his fingers in delight.

"Looks like you're pretty smart."

"Not only that, but you are also the one who designed the Son of Fuhailin to appear here. The track of the MONOCULUS collection train is on the spirit vein, but the staff has confirmed it in advance. But the Son of the Devil's Grove still appeared, so it can only be considered that someone deliberately designed it, and setting the Son of the Hell's Grove and the Magic Eye Collection Train on the same spiritual vein will inevitably produce distortion, and you just adopted this to try to summon the Heroic Spirit, right? ”

With that, Ermelo II clenched his fists.

"So, when you summon the Servant, you've already achieved your goal."

"That's right."

Hatress nodded, then lowered his head, and then raised his hand.

"THEN, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AS A MASTER, YOU HAVE THREE ABSOLUTE COMMANDS."

Hatress smiled slightly.

"For example......... In the name of the spell......... Come here! ”

As Hatress' words fell, the next moment, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared, erasing the barrier that bound Hatres.
