Geryon Ashburn, the owner of Peel City, had died suddenly. However, magicians were creatures who didn't know when they would die while searching for their roots. Thus, he seemed to have made a will long ago.
Geryon didn't have a son.
He originally had a wife and son, but his wife and son seemed to be suffering from an incurable disease. They left his side one after another, leaving him alone.
Therefore, he could only entrust his inheritance to the magicians who were invited to Peel City by him.
But of course, Geryon wouldn't divide his inheritance equally and give it to everyone. He intended to choose the most suitable magician and give his inheritance to him.
The way to choose was to perform a special riddle-solving ceremony.
The magician who was invited to host the inheritance ceremony was from the [Law Department] of the Clock Tower.
The [Law Department] was the most special department in the Clock Tower. It wasn't one of the 12 disciplines. Instead, it was the 13th discipline outside the 12 disciplines.
The official name of the [Law Department] was actually the [First Principle Executive Board]. In other words, this was a department that strictly adhered to the principle of 'mystery should be hidden.' Its inherent function was to 'protect the existence of the magic world' and 'supervise the existence of magicians.'
This wasn't a place to study magic. Instead, it was a political department that operated and managed the Clock Tower.
The magicians who came out of this department would either join the executive force that intervened in the disputes between magicians or take up important positions in the governments of countries that had close relations with the Clock Tower through the department's power.
Whether it was internal disputes among magicians, inheritance of inheritance, international politics, or economics, as long as it was for the continuation of the magic world, the [Law Department] would be able to participate in it openly. The power and power they had was so great that even the magicians who were extraordinary feared them.
The inheritance ceremony of the Stripped City would be hosted by a magician from the [Law and Politics Department].
Although the magicians from the [Law Department] were terrifying, as long as they had the right to inherit the magic world, the [Law Department] wouldn't secretly obstruct them.
In this regard, the [Law Department] was very authoritative and credible. If the magicians from this department were to host the ceremony, then no one would have to worry about the inheritance ceremony being unfair or biased.
…
"The inheritance ceremony this time is to search for our respective [Angels].
Luvia took out a clean envelope and placed it in front of Liu Xia. She then took out a piece of white paper with the word 'Michael' written on it. Other than that, there was nothing else on it.
At the same time, she took out a gem from the table and placed it on the wound on her neck caused by Ryuga's bite. Under the faint magical light, the bite mark on her neck was healed.
Ryuga remembered that when he came to this room last night, the name tag on the door seemed to have the word 'Michael' written on it. In other words, this was actually the room that Luvia was assigned to.
"Ask the name of the Angel.
And if he does not answer, he shall be deprived of his angel
Those who find me will be able to inherit my legacy — "
Luvia faintly uttered three sentences that seemed to carry a special magic power.
After a short pause, she continued to explain to Ryuga, "This is the content of the will announced by the [Law Department]'s magician, Karino Rei."
The will left behind by the City Lord of Peel City and announced by [Law Department] Magician Kano Ryuji only had these three lines.
The meaning of the sentence itself wasn't hard to understand.
The magicians who were invited here were all given their own [Angels]. For example, Luvia's angel should be 'Michael'. This [Angel] itself should be a clue for the magicians to find the Geryon's [Angel]. As long as they found it, they would be able to inherit his legacy.
However, what kind of clues did the [Angel] itself contain? It was even more confusing to find the Geryon's [Angel] through one's own [Angel].
Also, in the second sentence, 'If he does not answer, he shall be deprived of his angel', what was' Angel 'referring to? It couldn't be 'Michael', right? Then, was it referring to the right to inherit the legacy?
And what kind of 'Angel' would be deprived of one's' Angel 'if one did not answer the question?
The contents of the will were rather obscure and full of mysteries in the style of a magician.
"How much of the will do you understand now?"
Ryuga looked at Luvia and asked.
"No, I don't understand anything yet."
Luvia shook her head. She didn't want to hide anything from Ryuga. "In fact, I just learned about the will less than an hour ago. I didn't have time to think about the meaning of the will."
Ryuga nodded. He was hiding in the closet when he heard the sound in the hall. He knew that the will had just been announced. It was normal that he didn't have time to think about the key points.
But this was a little troublesome.
Although Ryuga knew some [General Knowledge] about magic, he was severely lacking in knowledge. It was unrealistic to rely on himself to solve the mystery of the legacy. It was easier for him to use a knife and threaten the person who obtained the legacy to hand it over.
"… Master, it seems to be this room."
When Ryuga and Luvia had no clue about the will, a young girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door. She seemed to be talking to someone next to her.
"I know."
Then, another young man's voice was low but full of knowledge. It gave people the impression that he was full of wisdom and wisdom like a university professor.
The next moment, with a creak, the door of Luvia's room opened. Two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the door.
The taller person was a man with waist-length black hair. He was wearing a dark black slim-fit suit. His height was not inferior to the young Ryuga. He was also wearing a pair of black gloves.
Although his hair seemed to be as long as a woman's, he didn't have the slightest weak temperament. Instead, he often frowned, giving people a feeling of impatience. He exuded a slightly domineering aura.
However, there were a few untimely wrinkles between his eyebrows. He looked like a worker who couldn't bear to work hard all year round.
The shorter person was a young girl with a hood covering her face. Her height should be more than 1.5 meters. She wore a black jacket on her upper body and a gray pleated skirt on her lower body. She wore a cloak with a hood. Her legs were covered with black stockings and a pair of short black round-toed leather shoes.
She looked either black or white. Only a pair of emerald green eyes could be seen from under the hood. She gave people the impression of a winter fairy.
"Ah …"
The young girl with the hood opened the door. When she saw Ryuga and Luvia, she subconsciously let out a short cry of surprise.
Even the tall young man beside her was stunned.
"Is there something important that you came to visit at this time?"
Luvia's eyes were fixed on the long-haired young man. She said the other person's title.
"… Monarch Ermero II."
