For magicians with rare talents or those who could perform magic that was impossible in theory, the Magic Association would give them the treatment of [Designated Seal]. They would be captured alive and imprisoned in the Clock Tower, where they would be preserved as valuable items.
And now, Huang Jinji, who had shown up at Izeluma's banquet and had reached the level of [Origin], had undoubtedly reached the level of being sealed.
"So you must think of a way," Emeliro speculated.
"You have to expose Huang Jinji's death. Otherwise, Bai Yinji, who has the same level of beauty as Huang Jinji in the eyes of outsiders, will definitely be sealed by the Clock Tower," Ermero II speculated.
And so, Bai Yinji worked with two maids, Carina and Regina, to take out Huang Jinji's body, dismembered it, and hid it in a room.
They also tried to let Lainice find out and cause her to be wrongly accused by Balon. The reason they dismembered Huang Jinji's body was to make people think that it was Lainice's magic dress that killed her.
This was a good thing for Bai Yinji and Carina. They couldn't wait to spread the news of Huang Jinji's death as far as possible. Being able to drag Emeliro, a member of the Sovereign's family, into this was something they could only dream of.
As long as Huang Jinji's death was exposed and people found out that Huang Jinji's beauty wasn't at the level of [Origin], then Carina and Yinji wouldn't have to be sealed.
And when Balon saw Huang Jinji's death, he decided to use it to make things difficult for Emeliro. It was really a flash of inspiration.
"This is the evidence."
Emeliro II took out a travel bag from behind him and showed it to everyone. "I looked around the spring and easily found Carina's escape luggage. She probably planned to escape with Bai Yinji after Huang Jinji's death was exposed, right?"
"… As expected of the Sovereign, you're so observant."
Bai Yinji was silent for a while before finally nodding and admitting, "No matter what, I don't want to live the life of being sealed."
"Also, the fact that my father's technology has reached a bottleneck is also one of the reasons. If Diana dies because of this, then there's also the possibility that I'll become the next sacrifice. I don't want to become a chess piece that my father sacrificed for his ideals."
The Gold Maiden Diadona and the Silver Maiden Estella were Balon's daughters, and they were twins.
In order to not be targeted by the seal and to not become Balon's sacrifice, Yinghuang Ji had no choice but to dismember her dead sister's body and shift the blame to Lainis.
In other words, Balon was the one who killed his daughter.
Sure enough, magicians were all devoid of humanity.
Ryuga commented in her heart.
"The first case ends here. Huang Jinji's death is just a scam, and Lenise has nothing to do with it."
Ermero II's face gradually became gloomy. "The key is the second case. The death of the original maid, the new Huang Jinji, Karina, was indeed a murder!"
"And the person who killed Karina is you, Apothecary Mr. Mayol!"
The second king's gaze became extremely sharp, and he pointed his spear at the pale-faced, stuttering young man in the crowd. The chief pharmacist of the Izeluma family, Mayo Brichsan Clenniers.
"Mayo?"
Balon was slightly stunned when he heard the name, and his face showed obvious surprise. In his impression, Mayo had always been a conscientious and honest person who never made any mistakes in his work.
"I … I … How could …"
Mayo stuttered, and he seemed to want to refute, but he didn't dare to do so, so his face turned ugly.
"You're the one who issued the order to 'wipe out Ermero's classroom' to Ms. Aoqi, aren't you, Mr. Mayol?"
Ermero II took a puff of his cigar and continued with a gloomy face. "There's no need to refute. I've already obtained testimony from Ms. Aoqi. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ms. Aoqi yourself."
"That's right. The one who asked me to wipe out Ermero's classroom was Mayo."
Without waiting for the others to ask questions, Aoqi Aoqi was the first to prove the truth of Ermero II's words. "The reward he gave me was to tell me the truth of this incident … Well, you're not lying, but I really didn't expect that the so-called truth was actually created by me."
"No wonder I always felt that something was wrong with this matter, and I couldn't get excited at all. It's because I've already experienced it … But, in this case, I have no obligation to hide the identity of the client."
In other words, the client was Mayo.
"The reason you did this is very simple. It's to prevent me from finding out the truth of Karina's death."
Ermero II's cold eyes stared directly at the pale-faced Mayo in the crowd. "If I'm not wrong, you met Karina by the spring when she was cleaning the effects of [Cinderella]. That's how you learned that Karina was Huang Jinji.
The reason you killed her was probably because she was carrying her luggage and was planning to escape from Ezeruma's house, right? "
In many versions of Ziegfeld's legend, this great hero who slayed dragons was greeted with death by the spring after washing off the dragon's blood. There was a magical meaning in this, so Karina needed to wash off the Cinderella effect created by the Bodhi Leaf by the spring.
The reason she was carrying her luggage was probably because she wanted to meet with Bai Yinji and escape from Ezeruma's house.
But she didn't expect that Mayo would discover her while she was cleaning herself by the spring.
And then, she died an unnatural death.
At that time, Lainice followed Karina's footsteps into the forest, but because she accidentally triggered a barrier, she lost her magical connection with the Maid of Mercury.
So, Mayo immediately thought of framing Karina's death on the Maid of Mercury.
Ermero II obtained testimony from Aoqi Aoqi Aoqi, and after comparing the footprints found by the spring, he finally concluded that the murderer was Potioneer Mayo.
"So, it's really Mayo?"
Balon looked at the pale Potioneer in confusion. "Why did you do this?"
"Ha … haha …"
Mayo tightly clenched his teeth, the muscles on his face gradually twitched, and he let out a distorted laugh. "I … why … can't I do this?"
"When I first found out … that Karina was Huang Jinji … do you … know how happy I was? Because … because even if Diana is dead … Huang Jinji is still alive! "
"That beauty … is still unscathed!"
Mayo roared with a completely different ferocious expression. "But … she actually … wanted to escape! She wanted to carry Sir Balon and escape! This kind of thing … is simply unforgivable! She … if she leaves … who will recreate that beauty! So even if … I have to kill her … she … I have to keep that beauty! "
