Three minutes later.
In the hall.
Accompanied by a dazzling flash of light, Luvia successfully broke the enchantment using at least a hundred gems, freeing Emelo II and Grey from the enchantment.
"Ha … ha …"
As soon as Emelo II was released from the enchantment, he fell to the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. His face was full of relief as if he had just survived a disaster.
His follower, the girl named Grey, was also half-kneeling on the ground, holding the back of her right hand. Although her face was covered by the hood, she seemed to be relieved.
Her personality was too soft. She didn't even blame her master for being caught in the enchantment, but it was a good thing that she was saved.
Ryuga stood in the shadows in the corner, stopped providing magic power to the ring on her hand, and silently looked at the complacent Luvia.
Although she had been coerced by him, she was indeed the descendant of a famous magic family. She was not willing to lose out in anything she did. Apart from the condition of letting Liu Xia enter the Clock Tower, she still had two conditions left. Thinking about it this way, she had completely gotten two conditions from Ermero II for free.
After all, it was a condition that the monarch agreed to. Even if the monarch was weak, and his family's power was insignificant, it was bound to be valuable.
"Where did Granite go?"
After standing up from the ground, Emelo II patted the dust on his suit and glanced around the hall, trying to find the figure of "Qingxuan".
"Inside that enchantment."
Luvia pointed at the other enchantment in the hall, shook her head, and said, "I have already done my best to save you. Why would I care about them?"
And, to be honest, it has been at least three minutes since "Qingxuan" entered the enchantment.
"Boom —"
While they were talking, it was as if they had finally succeeded. On the other side of the barrier, there was suddenly a slight sound like water ripples exploding. Then the entire barrier dissipated, revealing the scene inside in front of everyone's eyes.
Ouroch fell to the ground, and his wheelchair fell to the side. His body was covered in blood, and his skinny body was no longer breathing. What was surprising was that there was a relieved smile on his face.
Next to him, Freng also lost his life and fell to the ground. There was a wound on his chest that was torn by the beast's claw. His eyes were wide open as if he died with a grievance. After all, strictly speaking, he was just an innocent passerby who was involved.
Judging from the amount of blood on their chests, they were probably dead for at least a few minutes.
"Qingxuan" and the beast were nowhere to be seen. They must have escaped from here using some special magic, but there was no doubt that his revenge was successful.
"As expected …"
Ermero II closed his eyes and let out an indescribable sigh.
They were trapped in the enchantment for more than three minutes. During that time, with the strength of the enchantment, it was impossible for Ouroch or Frengar to escape from Granite and Beast.
"Wait a minute, where is Karano?"
Luvia suddenly thought of something. She looked around the hall and suddenly frowned. "Could it be that she wasn't locked in your barrier?"
"Ms. Karano?"
Emelo II retracted his gaze and frowned when he heard Luvia's question. He forced himself to calm down. "I don't know, wasn't she trapped in another enchantment?"
The two looked at each other and fell into silence.
Huano Ling Li had disappeared. At this critical moment, he had strangely disappeared.
"I can guess the reason."
Emelo II sighed softly with a look of disgust on his face. "That woman must have colluded with Granite. She knew Granite's plan from the beginning, and the two of them had already formed an alliance."
"Almost a thousand magicians died in Peel City. This is a very eye-catching matter, but the Clock Tower didn't receive any similar reports. This means that someone must have deliberately blocked the news. The only person in the Clock Tower who could do this is the Justice Department."
"The reason why she disappeared now must be because the Justice Department's' impartial 'style is not suitable for Granite to take revenge in person. That's why she purposely disappeared. While it's convenient for Granite, it's also to make her position less strange."
Those who play politics all have dirty hearts.
Karano Ryuji was a [Law Department] magician who played with politics. They often maintained fairness on the surface, but no one knew how dirty they were behind the scenes except for themselves.
Just like this Peel City incident, Karano Ryuji must have colluded with Granite to make things easier for him. That's why she purposely disappeared when Granite decided to take revenge.
"But, what's the benefit of doing this?" Luvia asked curiously.
"It's simple, my lady."
Ermero II sighed and said, "Even if Granite recovered his memory and personality with the help of the body of Jiro Fang's Qing Xuan, he is still a rootless duckweed. With some surgery, it will be easy to remove him and let him die completely. That way, no one will be able to inherit the legacy of Stripped City."
"In the end, the inheritance will be taken away by the Justice Department in the name of 'managing it on behalf of the people'."
Even if the Geryon's secret technique was fake, the Peel City and this spiritual land had a high price. They were still a pile of valuable wealth.
This is the way the 13th discipline of the Clock Tower, the Justice Department's true style of doing things.
"Hahaha … Hahahaha … Impossible, impossible, impossible!"
Suddenly, when the few of them were speechless, a burst of hysterical laughter came from outside the castle, attracting the attention of the few remaining people in the hall. The few of them looked at each other and ran out of the hall.
Outside the castle.
'Jiro Chang Qing Xuan' ran up to the tall castle wall with a crazy smile on his face. He kept kicking the beast beside him, making the beast whimper silently and guiltily.
"Why! Why! Why did you cheat with Ouroch! Why did you betray dad! "
'Qing Xuan of Jiro Square' kicked the beast with a ferocious look on his face as if he was about to collapse. "I am Grant Ashburn, the son of Geryon Ashburn! I'm not Ouroch Cishamende's son! I can't be his son! "
He had a smile on his face, but it felt like he was crying.
He returned to Peel City with a personality that couldn't exist anymore and wanted to take revenge for his father. However, he didn't expect his enemy to be his real father.
Luvia looked at the scene in front of her with her mouth agape.
What a melodramatic family drama.
