In the auction hall, under Ryuga's words, everyone's eyes gathered on Collins, who was next to Edvard II.
"The director of the pre-modern magic department?"
Olga Marie looked at Collins with obvious suspicion. "I heard that man disappeared from the modern magic department seven years ago and left the Time Clock Tower …"
Kaliber sat in his chair, but his hands were already in his arms. He was waiting for the truth to be revealed so that he could take out the black key and take revenge.
Beside Collins, Grey's face was also full of astonishment. Only Edvard II's expression was very calm, as if he had already known the result.
"No, no … please wait a minute, Mr. Yin-yang, how could I be someone else?"
After being stared at by everyone, Collins quickly waved his hand and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "This joke isn't funny at all."
"Are you still going to hide it?"
Ryuga didn't care about his quibbling and took out a portable mobile phone from her pocket. "This morning, I got Miss Lenise's phone number from Teacher Edvard II and asked her to find the real Collins. Now, as long as I call back, I can immediately talk to the real Collins. In this way, what room do you have to argue?"
Collins paused slightly when he heard this, and a speechless expression appeared on his face. "Is that so? You sent me away in the morning just to confirm my identity? "
"To be honest, I thought my disguise was foolproof. I don't know where I was exposed?"
When these words came out of his mouth, his entire demeanor underwent a huge change. A smile appeared on his face, which was completely different from the impression Collins gave people.
"Your disguise is indeed perfect. Even Teacher Edvard II and Grey didn't notice anything unusual. It should be not only the transformation technique, but also the Spirit Subjugation technique."
Ryuga said, "Your only flaw is the magic lock. The magic lock on the safe in the office of the director of the modern magic department was made by you, right?"
"That safe uses both a magic lock and a physical lock. The physical lock is fine, but if you want to break the magic lock and retrieve Teacher II's holy relic, other than Teacher II himself, only you, the creator, can do it."
The second king's office in the modern magic teaching building was the same one Hartres had used seven years ago.
The magic lock used in the safe in that office was made by Hartrez himself. Apart from Hartrez himself, the only other person who could open the magic lock was Hartrez himself.
"So that's how it is. Sure enough, it was exposed there."
The fake Collins smiled and blinked. Once, twice, thrice … When he blinked for the fifth time, black smoke suddenly gushed out of his body, and then the freckled youth no longer existed.
Instead, he was replaced by a stranger. He was tall, had long red hair like fire, skin as white as snow, and even the clothes on his body had turned into a navy blue suit. At first glance, he looked quite eye-catching.
He looked to be in his twenties or forties, but strangely, no one could accurately judge his age. They felt that it was appropriate to say that he was in his twenties or forties. It should be a special trait of his.
There was a gentle and calm smile on his face. "Oh, I thought that as long as I pretended to be Collins who entered Ermero's classroom after you, even a sub-servant should not be able to see through me. I didn't expect you to find the source, so my disguise is meaningless."
When Ryuga studied in Ermero's classroom, Collins had not yet entered the clock tower, so when Ryuga met them at the abandoned station on the outskirts of London, she did not recognize him.
If Ryuga had known Collins for a long time, she would not have needed to spend so much effort. She could have judged whether Collins was the real person by his breath, and the case would have been solved long ago.
"If I knew that you would also board the train, I would not have pretended to be Collins, but someone else. It was a mistake."
An interested smile appeared on his face. "And then? Did you find anything else? After all, you are the disciple of the monarch, and a never-before-seen sub-servant. I am also very interested in you. If you can leave with me, I will be very happy. "
"Let's talk in your sleep at night."
Ryuga paused, after sorting out her words, she continued to explain. "The cause of the matter can be traced back to ten years ago, to the Fourth Holy Grail War held in the Far East. Although the magic ritual was just a joke in the clock tower before, because of the death of the former monarch, Ermero, some magicians in the clock tower changed their attitude."
"Especially the monarch of the Celestial Body Department, Monarch Animusfia, was the first to become interested in the Holy Grail War. So, seven years ago, he commissioned someone to investigate the magic ritual."
Ryuga looked at the red-haired Harterese and looked straight at him. "If my guess is correct, the person he commissioned at that time was you, right, Harterese?"
"Indeed." Harterese smiled and nodded honestly.
"But the Holy Grail War was a big ritual, and it was in the Far East. It was not so simple to investigate it on the spot. At that time, you thought of other ways."
Liu Xia reached out her hand and pointed at her own eyes. "You're trying to analyze the ritual of the Holy Grail War through a large number of magic eyes and their ability to analyze information."
"So, the victims of the case seven years ago were all magic eye holders. If you collected so many magic eyes, even if it was the Holy Grail War, you should be able to investigate it clearly."
Whether it was the Past Vision or the Future Vision, as long as one could get their hands on it, they would be able to obtain a lot of information without any conditions. On this point, Ryuga undoubtedly had the right to speak. It was also because of this that she thought of using the magic eyes to investigate the Holy Grail War.
"Wait a moment. No matter what, the magic eye is still a kind of organ. After the death of the holder, without the support of life force and magic power, the magic eye should not be able to perform its function."
Hano Rei asked from her seat.
"This is indeed a blind spot, but who said that those who were beheaded were all dead?"
Ryuga glanced at her. "The reason why the beheading method was used to take away the magic eyes was to give you the false impression that 'those people are all dead'. But, according to my guess, those victims did not die immediately. Instead, someone used a special technique to keep them alive and used the magic eyes."
Didn't the news broadcast on TV say that the modern era had already invented a technique that could allow a monkey's head to live alone? For a magician, it was not impossible to make a head that had lost its body live alone.
