"…"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the old man knitted his brows and stared coldly at Fangzheng. In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense. However, at this moment, another voice sounded.
"Aiya, I've just arrived and I've already encountered such a troublesome situation. I'm a little scared. But everyone, now isn't the time to fight."
Along with this somewhat sloppy voice, a bearded man dressed very casually walked in with large strides and said with a grin. Hearing his words, the old man swept a glance at him and silently leaned to the side. Fangzheng also yawned and continued to focus on the game in front of him.
"Hahaha …"
Looking at this slightly awkward scene, the bearded man scratched his head and revealed a bitter smile. At this moment, accompanied by a deep sigh, Ermelo II and his disciple also appeared in the room.
"Haa … I'm so tired …"
"Are you okay, Master?"
Ermelo II hammered his thigh and sat down on the chair beside him while Grey looked at him with some uneasiness.
"So weak."
Looking at this scene, Fangzheng lightly snorted.
"A magician should at least train his body. Look at the flowers, she's a girl who just entered high school. She didn't even pant like you. You can't even compare to an ordinary high school girl? And you still have the face to call yourself a LORD? Go back and train your marathon. "
"Ugh …"
Hearing Fangzheng's ridicule, Ermelo II bitterly smiled and was speechless. Indeed, in any case, he was a man in his twenties, nearing his thirties, and yet his physical strength couldn't compare to a weak high school girl … This was indeed a little unreasonable.
But fortunately, at that moment, a guest appeared and rescued Ermelo II from his predicament.
"Long time no see, LORD Ermelo."
Accompanied by this voice, a handsome blond man in his mid-twenties wearing a white suit walked in. Seeing his appearance, Ermelo II showed a surprised expression, then helplessly shook his head.
"Please add the second life. If I just carry it like this, this name is still too heavy for me."
"You're too modest."
The young man smiled at Ermero II's answer.
"I have also heard of your activities in the Clock Tower."
At this point, the young man turned his head. At this time, everyone discovered that not far behind him, outside the courtyard, a girl who looked to be seven or eight years old in a white dress was timidly poking her head out, looking at them like a newborn bird.
"Big Brother …"
Looking at the girl, the blonde youth revealed a gentle smile.
"It's all right, Rosalind. Ermero II is a trustworthy gentleman. "
"Okay, okay."
Perhaps it was because she heard this sentence, the girl relaxed a little. She ran over and bowed slightly.
"I'm Heine's younger sister, Rosalind Eastali. Please take care of me."
"Ah, nice to meet you …"
As he spoke, Ermero II nodded and took out a cigar from his coat. But at this moment, Fangzheng stared at him.
"Smoking in front of a child, you're really shameless. Don't you know that secondhand smoke is bad for a child's health?"
"I-I'm sorry."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Ermero II's face showed an awkward expression, then he put away the cigar.
"This is …?"
At this moment, Heine turned to Fangzheng curiously. After all, it was rare to see someone who could speak to the monarch of the Clock Tower in this manner and make him accept it obediently.
"The representative of the Thousand World Tree, Hei Tong Xianhua. This is Red Ponytail."
At this moment, Hei Tong Xianhua stood up and introduced herself generously. Hearing the name of the Thousand World Tree, Heine revealed a surprised expression, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he smiled and nodded to the two of them.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Heine Illista. Nice to meet you."
Hei Tong Xianhua lowered her head respectfully in response to Heine's greeting, while Fangzheng waved his hand casually. Following that, the siblings found a place to sit down. As for Rosalind, she seemed rather interested in the PSP that Fangzheng was fiddling with. She stood beside her brother and from time to time, she would turn her head and secretly peek at the game console in Fangzheng's hand.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the reception room returned to normal. But not long after, a loud voice sounded.
"Ohhhh, I didn't expect there to be so many beauties!"
Shortly after, a young man dressed like a Japanese monk and wearing an eyepatch over his left eye walked in with a hearty laugh. He walked toward Grey, Rosalind, Hei Tong Xianhua, and Fangzheng.
"I'm Qingxuan, the Buddhist monk of the Times Temple. Nice to meet you."
Tyrant opened his mouth and greeted everyone with a smile full of energy. However, he stared at the four young ladies without blinking.
"How about it? Do you want to have a cup of tea with us? Beautiful lady? I heard from the butler that you prepared the best tea. "
Facing the monk's invitation, Rosalind hid behind her brother in fear. Grey also hid in Ermelo II's shadow, but Hei Tong Xianhua's smile didn't change in the slightest.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested in you."
"Oh, don't be like this … Ladies, let's be friends."
"Say one more word of nonsense."
As Fangzheng pressed on the PSP, he said nonchalantly.
"I'll turn you from a monk to a eunuch."
At this moment, Ermelo II frowned.
"The so-called Buddhist monk, although the form is not the same, isn't it the identity of serving God? Moreover, I remember that Japanese monks regard women as a taboo. "
"I'm sorry, my sister seems to be frightened."
At this moment, Hei Tong Xianhua also stood up. Obviously, these two people also didn't allow this frivolous monk to approach the women beside them.
Speaking of which, this monk dared to strike up a conversation in the presence of a guardian. Wasn't he afraid that the people present would join hands to beat him up?
Until now, the people who received the invitation to this city had all arrived.
They were respectively …
The representatives of the Thousand World Tree — Hei Tong Xianhua and Red Ponytail.
The monarch of the Ermelo family — Lord Ermelo II and his disciple Grey.
The siblings of the alchemist family — Hei Tong Xianhua and Rosalind Tong Xianhua.
The magician mercenary who wrapped himself up like a Middle Eastern dumpling — Astrologer Friuja.
The frivolous Japanese monk — Qingxuan, the former Temple of the Times Temple.
The old man who sat in a wheelchair and fought with Red Ponytail and Hei Tong Xianhua once — the founding member of the Butterfly Magic, Orlok Sisamongo.
"It seems that everyone is here."
Right at this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded. Everyone raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a woman with long black hair, wearing a Japanese kimono, and glasses standing on the balcony of the second floor. She smiled and looked at everyone in front of her.
"You've all been waiting."
While speaking, the black-haired woman stretched out her hand and pushed up her glasses.
"I'm from the Law Department of the Clock Tower, appointed as the administrator of the estate of Gleevin Ashburn, Karano Ryuji.
As soon as she said this, the surrounding people suddenly burst into an uproar.
"Xiao Hong, who is this woman?"
At this moment, Hei Tong Xianhua leaned over to Fangzheng's ear and whispered.
"I don't know, but if it's the Law Department … it's equivalent to the Military Police of the Magician World. In short, it has nothing to do with us."
Fangzheng successfully passed another level and answered at the same time. As he said, the Law Department of the Clock Tower may have some restrictions on the Magician World, but it was meaningless to the Thousand World Tree.
With a smile on her face, Karano Ryuji looked at everyone and took out a letter from her pocket.
"I hereby announce the will of the Gleevin Ashburn family."
While speaking, she looked at everyone.
"There are only three points in the will — [Ask the name of the angel], [Those who can't answer the question must be stripped by the angel], [The one who holds my angel in his hand shall be the inheritor of the estate]."
At this point, everything had officially begun.
"Yawn …"
Fangzheng threw himself on the soft, comfortable bed and yawned heavily.
"It feels like it's a deduction."
At this moment, Hei Tong Xianhua also took off her coat and sat on the sofa. According to the woman named Karano, each invitation letter had an angel's name, and the person who held the invitation letter had to stay in the room with the corresponding name. What these people had to do next was to find the angel that corresponded to their angel's name. Whoever found it first and successfully matched the name would be the final inheritor of the estate.
After that, Fangzheng and Hei Tong Xianhua naturally found the room marked with the angel's name on their invitation letter and stayed in it.
"Yeah, the castle, the estate, and the heirs with ulterior motives. Next, we're going to kill them."
Fangzheng raised his hand and made a shooting gesture.
"However, there is only one truth!"
"Hahaha, it can't be, Xiao Hong. After all, that's just …"
"That's hard to say."
Facing Hei Tong Xianhua's rebuttal, Fangzheng revealed an interested smile.
"By the way, you saw those magicians today … What do you think of them?"
"Hmm …"
After hearing Fangzheng's question, Hei Tong Xianhua pondered for a moment.
"They all have personalities, but they don't feel like bad guys. I thought I would meet the ultimate villain or the devil's underlings in the movies."
"Magicians don't engrave the word 'bad' on their faces. They just have different morals and values from ordinary people. The difference between the Thousand World Tree and the Magic Association is more fundamental. "
Fangzheng put down the PSP in his hand and answered.
"So, Xiao Hong, are we really not going to look for the inheritance?"
"Hmm? Are you interested? "
"Of course."
Hei Tong Xianhua nodded and revealed an excited smile.
"Because isn't this like a treasure hunt? It's quite interesting, isn't it?"
"So, do you have a clue about this?"
"Ah …"
Hei Tong Xianhua was stunned. Then, she lowered her head dejectedly.
"No … Teacher Fiorina didn't teach me this aspect of magic knowledge."
"That's for sure. Every family of magicians has their own core magic structure and theory. Unless one is from that family, it's hard to understand the core theory. That's why I said that the inheritance itself is strange. Which one of us here looks like someone who studies angels? Maybe that guy named Wen is just trying to lure a group of greedy people here so that he can kill us. "
"Eh? Why would he do that? "
"Isn't it common in horror movies? Sleeping demons need human blood and souls to be resurrected. Not to mention, this old guy is a magician. Magicians are no different from the wizards in the movies. Moreover, he studies angels. Maybe he wants to turn himself into an angel and send us to the afterlife … All in all, just watch and you'll know … "
"Hmm? What's wrong? Xiao Hong? "
"Hmm … I suddenly thought of something interesting …"
Staring at the PSP in front of her, Fangzheng couldn't help but ponder. This was also what she suddenly thought of when she was chatting with Hei Tong Xianhua.
Just as Fangzheng said, the key to magicians in this world was secrecy. Once secrecy was no longer a secret, the magic effect based on it would be greatly reduced or even disappear. That was why every family kept their core knowledge a secret. This was also the reason why magicians had to be silenced if they were seen performing magic.
But Fangzheng suddenly thought of something.
And that was … What if all these secrets were exposed?
For example, he could make some games, such as adventure games like Tomb Raider, or add some core theoretical knowledge about magic in online games, so that it could spread around the world in the form of game intelligence. So what? If players all over the world learned the operation principle and core knowledge of magic from these games, wouldn't these magic spells weaken or even lose their effects?
In that case, wouldn't the Magic Association be done for?
And wouldn't this be considered using games to change the world?
If it was successful, not only would it increase the completion rate of the God of Games' quest, but it would also weaken the Magic Association's strength. Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?
Although Fangzheng didn't really understand the situation of the magicians in this world, why would it matter?
Didn't he have a cheat that connected to the root of magic?
It seemed like … there was value in trying it out!
