"According to Ms. Edfeld's testimony, a major monster must have killed Mr. Heine and taken his left foot."
Monarch Ermero II's eyebrows looked like they had never melted in the first place. The wrinkles between his brows made him look like an old professor, but he also gave people the impression that he could not bear to work hard.
"First of all, I need to make it clear to everyone that this was not an accident. It was a deliberate murder!"
As soon as the monarch's words left his mouth, the faces of everyone in the hall changed slightly.
"Where's the evidence?"
As the administrator this time, Karano Ryuji was the first to ask Ermero II for the reason. "After all, it's you. It shouldn't be a groundless deduction. You must have some basis, right?"
"Of course there is evidence. That is our [Angel]."
Ermero II snorted coldly, giving people the impression that he was cold and hard. "Our Angel comes from a seventy-two-letter name. The seventy-two-letter name can refer to the twelve signs of the zodiac, and it can also refer to the human body. The big universe and the small universe always correspond to each other. I'm sure I don't need to say this. As magicians, I'm sure you all understand."
Karano Ryuji, Luvia, and the others heard this and nodded affirmatively.
"The name of Heine's Angel is Ariel, which is also Ariel. The corresponding part of the human body is the left foot."
As soon as the monarch said this, the faces of the magicians in the hall changed.
"If you don't answer the question, your Angel will be taken away."
This sentence naturally appeared in everyone's mind.
"I see. Taking away his Angel. So that's what 'Angel' means?"
Luvia thought in a low voice.
Angels could correspond to the human body. Taking away one's Angel referred to letting a major monster take away one's body part.
All the magicians in the hall felt a chill run down their spines.
"Hehehe. In other words, the invitations that we received were actually notices of murder?"
The old man, who was at least seventy or eighty years old, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, laughed with a hoarse voice like rotten wood. It gave people the feeling of gauze rubbing against a foam cardboard box, causing goosebumps to rise involuntarily.
That was not wrong. Everyone had a corresponding Angel. Once they met the monster, as long as they did not meet the conditions, they would all be killed and their corresponding Angel would be taken away.
"Interesting, interesting!"
The old man continued to speak in a leisurely tone, as if he did not take the beast seriously at all. "Then the question is, who is the murderer who killed Istali's son?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't understand why he would say that.
"Magical beasts don't have intelligence."
Ermero II became inexplicably irritated. "So, someone must be controlling the beasts to attack us. But Geryon is dead. It can't be his spirit controlling the beasts …"
In other words, there was a mastermind behind this incident.
He was secretly watching everyone in the castle, spying on their lives.
"Ha … Haha!"
The old man laughed again in an unpleasant voice, and the wrinkles on his face were as tight as tree bark. "If you ask me, isn't the pet of the Edfeld family the most suspicious?"
"There seems to be an ancestor among the Death Apostles who can control magic beasts, right? Maybe he became a Death Apostle because that ancestor sucked his blood, so he has a similar ability? "
Although Ryuga's race was classified as a ghost by the [Anonymous Spirit Base], there was a big difference between her and the ghosts in the world of the Shaped Moon. If one had to describe it, she was more similar to the [Death Apostle], which was the general impression of vampires.
"Wait!"
Before Ryuga could speak, Luvia spoke first, and with an unyielding attitude, she said, "Are you slandering the Edfeld family?"
Ryuga's identity on the surface was Luvia's servant. In theory, slandering Ryuga was slandering the Edfeld family, and the reason was not only that.
"Why don't you be more direct, Ouroch Cishamende? Don't you mean to say that I was the one who ordered Yin and Yang to kill people? "Luvia said in an overbearing manner.
"Hmph, who knows? After all, your family's name is famous in the Clock Tower. "
Elder, the authority of the Butterfly Magic, Ouroch Cishamende laughed happily, "If you secretly decided to send this servant to kill people in order to obtain my old friend's secret technique, it's not impossible."
Ouroch Cishamende and the owner of the Peel City, Geryon Ashburn, had been good friends for many years, so he called the secret technique of the Peel City 'my old friend's secret technique'.
What he said made sense.
Ryuga was indeed the most likely person to control magic beasts. After all, he was a different kind and was not on the same side as them, so it was normal for him to be the first to be suspected.
Not only him, but the magic user Freng and the former Jiro Qing Xuan who came in from behind Ryuga also quietly distanced themselves from him.
Emelo II also frowned, he did not know if Ryuga was the culprit. For this group of people, alibis were meaningless.
"If I wanted the secret technique, I wouldn't have to beat around the bush."
Ryuga looked around at the people around him and said indifferently, "I'm not targeting any one of you, but all of you together wouldn't be enough for me to kill in five seconds, this is the truth."
"Why do I have to kill each and every one of you? Wouldn't it be more convenient to kill all of you and then slowly search? "
The air in the hall suddenly froze.
Everyone, including Luvia and Ermero II, had a very interesting expression on their faces.
The nature of a magician was a researcher, magic was ultimately a byproduct. Therefore, although most magicians could use magic, they were not good at fighting. In front of a professional assassin, they were no different from a child with a dagger.
"Among all of you, Ouloch Cissharmender is the most skilled in magic, but he is an old man who can only move around in a wheelchair. Freng may be a magic user and a mercenary, but he is no match for me, a Death Apostle. As for the rest of you, Qing Xuan and Emelo II, I won't even need a second to kill all of you."
Ryuga deliberately called himself a [Death Apostle]. It did not matter when the truth was discovered, as long as it could obscure their vision. Ghosts were much rarer than Death Apostles, at least in the West. Even Death Apostles were enough to make magicians crazy, let alone rarer ghosts. There would be a lot of people who would want to study him, and that would not be beneficial to Ryuga's style of secretly plotting.
"All of you together are not as threatening as the little girl with the hood next to the Monarch. At least if I want to kill her, it will take me at least three seconds."
Ryuga looked around at everyone, and his eyes paused for a moment on the little girl beside Emelo II who looked like a winter fairy. The girl was immediately shocked, and looked at Ryuga under the hood as if she was looking at a pervert.
"You should be thanking me for not killing all of you right away."
