"After all, wasn't it Sir Balon who killed Huang Jinji?"
Elmero II's words caused an uproar in the hall.
"How is this possible?!"
Potion Master Mayo was the first to shout in disbelief. "Sir Balon, no … no matter what you say, it's impossible … for him to personally …"
Balon's expression changed slightly, and then he snorted coldly.
"Hmph, I thought you were going to say something. Huang Jinji is the greatest masterpiece in the history of the Izeluma Family. How could I destroy such a work of art?"
"That's right. Logically speaking, it's impossible."
Elmero II said coldly, "An artist can only destroy his own work when there are flaws in the work. But when a work of art reaches the point of perfection, it's impossible for an artist to destroy it. Unfortunately, Huang Jinji wasn't perfect to begin with."
As soon as he said this, an uproar broke out in the hall.
If Balon killing Huang Jinji was inconceivable to them, then the second king's words of 'Gold tier isn't perfect' was something that no one would believe.
Everyone present had seen Huang Jinji's beauty with their own eyes. Her beauty had truly reached the pinnacle. Even with the picky eyes of a magician, they would have to praise her for her beauty.
But Elmero II said that her beauty wasn't perfect?
What kind of joke was this?
That was definitely the most perfect beauty. Everyone present could pat their chests and say that.
"Sir Balon, if I'm not wrong, Huang Jinji died a month ago, right?"
However, Elmero II's deduction wasn't over yet. He said something even more shocking, and the hall fell into silence again.
"I asked someone to investigate the recent magic achievements of the Izeluma Family. Unfortunately, the Izeluma Family fell into a technical bottleneck a hundred years ago. Their achievements were very limited, and their magic research stagnated a long time ago."
Ermero II continued, "Because you were in a hurry to create the most beautiful person possible, even though you knew that there was a technical problem, you still insisted on modifying Huang Jinji's body. In the end, Huang Jinji died in an accident a month ago."
This was a common occurrence in the world of magic. In the process of experimenting with new technology, all kinds of accidents would always happen, and it was not uncommon for the product to be destroyed.
"We don't even need to use scientific methods. As long as an experienced magician takes a look at Huang Jinji's body in person, he will discover that the real cause of her death is not that she was dismembered last night, but that her body was overly modified."
The corners of Balon's eyes were twitching. Veins were popping out of his hand that was gripping the walking stick, but he didn't say a word. He couldn't retort.
His behavior finally made the people around him realize that something was wrong.
"Your Excellency Balon … Could it be … Could it be that you … really killed … Diana?"
Pharmacist Mayo looked at Byron with a pained expression.
Balon remained silent and didn't give an answer.
"After Huang Jinji was killed by His Excellency Balon's impatience, His Excellency Balon finally felt impatient. The party where Huang Jinji and Bai Yinji would appear is only a month away. If news of Huang Jinji's death were to spread, Izaruma's reputation would be ruined."
Elmero II continued, "So, Your Excellency Balon had no choice but to urgently invite the Crown Magician, Lady Aozaki, a month ago. You wanted her to help you create a new Huang Jinji."
"A new … Huang Jinji?"
Everyone looked at each other. Even if Aozaki Orange was a Crown Magician, was it really possible to create a new Huang Jinji that could rival the one that Izaruma spent hundreds of years to create in such a short time?
"My sister, Lainice, found the footprints of the new Huang Jinji around the Moon Tower, so she followed the footprints into the spring in the forest and found the body of Huang Jinji's maid, Karina. So, we copied the footprints of the new Huang Jinji and Karina, and made a shocking discovery."
At this point, Lainice stepped forward cooperatively and showed her two footprints side by side on her left and right hands in the form of a stream of water.
With just a glance, the hidden truth could be seen.
"Exactly the same!?"
"That's right, exactly the same!"
"Could it be that Karina is the new Huang Jinji?"
In everyone's eyes, the new Huang Jinji's footprints were exactly the same as Karina's, except that the depth was different.
"The footprints are in the grass outside. If you don't believe me, you can check it yourself."
Ermero II took a puff of his cigar, then continued with his reasoning. "Beauty is a type of synaesthesia magic. When facing beauty, one's heart and spirituality will also be purified, making one's body beautiful."
"Karina is Huang Jinji's personal maid. According to my investigation, they were playmates who grew up together. During the time they spent together, Karina was naturally influenced by Huang Jinji's beauty. So, Karina is the most suitable person to become the new Huang Jinji."
The hall fell into a dead silence.
In other words, the Huang Jinji who appeared at the banquet last night, who possessed a beauty that mesmerized all the magicians, was actually the maid Carina?
"Wait a minute! No matter how you think about it, this is too strange, brother. "
Lainice removed the two footprints from her hand and showed a puzzled expression, "Even if it's a Crown Magician, it's impossible to transform the new Huang Jinji to such a degree in a month, right? According to your disciple Yin-yang, the new Huang Jinji's beauty is even better than Bai Yinji's? "
Lainice wasn't playing the supporting role, but she really didn't understand. Everyone in the hall didn't understand.
Ryuga stood behind everyone and silently looked at everyone in the hall without saying a word. He wasn't interested in this case. He just wanted to create an opportunity to fight with Aozaki Orange.
"That's not the only problem, great detective."
After Lainice asked the question, Aozaki Orange also said leisurely, "Although you said that I helped Sir Balon create the new Huang Jinji, I have no memory of this at all."
"That's normal."
Ermero II nodded and looked at Potion Master Mayo, "Mr. Mayo, I heard that you can create intoxicating drugs, right?"
"Ah … Yes … Yes."
When Ma Yue was suddenly called out, he quickly nodded.
"Then, you should also be able to create a drug that blocks memory."
Ermero II continued, "Even among ordinary people, there are examples of people who can't remember anything after waking up from a drunken stupor. When humans recognize something, they will store what they just experienced as a short-term memory. Then, they can store the short-term memory into a medium-term memory that can be remembered for half a month to a month."
"But alcohol can prevent this process from taking effect, thus preventing the memory from remaining in the brain. In other words, your drug made Ms. Aozaki lose the memory of transforming Karina."
