City of Stripping, first floor hall.
When Ouroboros saw the unconscious beast in the center of the hall, his face was obviously shaken.
"Oh?"
Luvia had been paying attention to Ouroboros's reaction. The moment his face became muddled, she keenly noticed it and showed a joyful smile on her face.
"It seems that you do know this beast, old man?"
With just one sentence, everyone's eyes gathered on Ouroboros. Emelo II, Hano Ryuri, and the others all had different expressions.
"Hmph … I thought you were going to say something."
Ouroboros controlled his expression at the right time. His face once again became calm and arrogant as before. "Geryon and I are good friends. What's the big deal about knowing a beast in his hands?"
"If you say so, there's no problem."
Although Luvia agreed with Ouroboros's statement, the smile on her face was very joyful. "Then, who is the most likely person to control this beast, old man?"
"Don't say it's my servant. This beast was caught by my servant," Luvia added.
Ouroboros was stunned at first, and then his face became visibly ugly.
On the side, Qing Xuan and Frenge both cast a suspicious look at him.
Although Hano Ryuri and Emelo II were not so direct, they also cast their gazes over and looked directly at him.
He had let it slip.
Because he saw it that shouldn't be here, in a moment of panic, he said 'I know this beast.'
But everyone present knew that this beast was raised by Gervind. Other than Liu Xia, a Death Apostle who might have the ability to control demonic beasts, the only other person who could control this beast was someone who was close to Gervind and knew this beast.
But the beast was caught by Ryuga, so naturally, he could wash away 80% of the suspicion. At this stage, the biggest suspect was Ouroboros.
If he only said that he was good friends with Geryon, it would not be enough to be suspected. But once he admitted that he knew this beast, he immediately became the target of suspicion.
"Really?"
At that time, Qingxuan of Jiro Square looked at O 'Rourke with a suspicious gaze and muttered.
"Do you have anything to say? O 'Lok Sishamund. "
Karino Reishi asked Ouroboros with a smile as the administrator.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly became deathly silent.
"Haha … Although it's just a nouveau riche family, they still have some skills, you stinky girl."
After a long silence, Ouroch squeezed out a few laughs from his throat. The expression on his face also became helpless. "Fine, then I'll tell you — I have a relationship with this beast, no, with her."
"That was when I was young …"
Under everyone's gaze, Ouroch's turbid eyes seemed to be reminiscing.
"I'm a magician, and a magician from a magic family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Of course, I know the importance of a magician's ethics in the process of magic research. In theory, even if it's a family member or lover, they can be easily abandoned."
As long as it was something that was in the way, whether it was family or loved ones, anything could be abandoned.
This was the ethics of a magician.
"But even so, I still fell hopelessly in love with her. She was so beautiful, so gentle, and her skin was so white that even my heart of adhering to the magic path was shaken."
As Ouroch narrated, he seemed to be immersed in that era and cast a gentle gaze on the unconscious beast on the ground.
"But by chance, she eventually married Geryon and became the lord of Peel City — the wife of my good friend. She also gave birth to a child, Granite Ashburn."
As Ouroch narrated his story, everyone's attention in the hall was attracted to him.
Only Ryuga, who was standing in the shadows and observing the reactions of the people around her, keenly noticed that when Ouroch spoke of this matter, the eyes of a certain person in the hall suddenly became ferocious for a moment.
"I learned that she was terminally ill after her death," Ouroch continued.
O 'Rourke continued to reminisce, "After she died, I couldn't eat or drink for a long time. My mind was filled with images of her. Later, I learned that even her child, Granite Ashburn, had contracted the same terminal illness as her. At that time, I was filled with hatred and regret. Even when I asked the Druids for a cure-all, they couldn't cure the child. They let him die at the prime of his life."
"Until one day last month, Geryon came to me. He was very happy to tell me that he had succeeded in keeping her."
Ouroch looked at the beast on the ground. His eyes were filled with intense pain. "I did see her. She had turned into a Demonic Beast. This is the technique of my Butterfly Magic. It's impossible for me not to recognize her."
It was said that the Butterfly Magic was extracted from the concept of 'insects transforming into butterflies'. It was used to carry out the [Human Transformation] project. It could also transform humans into Demonic Beasts.
In other words, Geryon used Ouroch's Butterfly Magic to transform his wife into a Demonic Beast?
Everyone looked at the Demonic Beast on the ground in disbelief.
This Demonic Beast was actually Geryon's wife who was terminally ill?
Although there were cases in the field of magicians who took the initiative to transform into non-human creatures in order to continue their research, it was still unbelievable for such a thing to happen in front of them. Moreover, Geryon didn't transform himself but his wife into a Demonic Beast.
"I know that Geryon didn't do anything wrong from the standpoint of a magician. It's normal for a magician to collect the body of the deceased for research purposes, but I couldn't stand it at that time."
Ouroch seemed to recall his mood at that time. His expression turned gloomy. His turbid eyes released a shocking murderous intent.
"So, I ambushed and killed him."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned.
They came here because Geryon had just died last month and didn't have an heir. They didn't expect to learn the cause of Geryon's death here. It was really a joke.
"This is the past between me and Geryon."
Ouroch recovered from his memories and looked at everyone with a calm expression. "But that's all. I didn't spy on Geryon's secret technique, nor did I intend to kill him. Whether you believe it or not, Heine's death has nothing to do with me."
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know if they should believe his words.
