Chapter 133: The Transcendent 【Restorer】
The master of Stripping City, Gerion Ashburn, is a magician who possesses a transcendent status even in the clock tower.
What is the most important thing for a magician? The quality of the magic circuit? Aptitude in magic? Or research unique results?
No, neither.
These things may be very important, but for magicians, what they value most is the [Magic Seal] owned by a family.
The so-called [Magic Imprint], in a nutshell, is a fixed mystery, which is the product of magicians spending their entire lives imprinting the results of their research. The largest and most important asset and legacy owned by the family.
Most magicians aim to reach the vortex of origin, but this goal is too ambitious. Even if a magician devotes his entire life to such a career, he may not be able to achieve this goal.
In view of this, the magician will engrave his own research results—that is, the mystery obtained—to form a [Magic Seal], and then pass it on to his nephews, so that the nephews can obtain their own results. Continue to walk on the path of the past, exerting the strength of generations, and finally try to reach the root.
For a magician, the magic circuit can only represent their own aptitude in magic, but the magic seal symbolizes the hope of everyone in a family, even the magician who inherits the magic seal.
In view of this, in fact, the magic seal is the most important inheritance and legacy of a magician's family, and it is also the most important thing for magicians.
Once the magic seal of this family is destroyed, it is equivalent to the hope of all magicians in a family will be destroyed. In the blink of an eye, the family loyalty linked by the magic seal will disappear, and finally lead to disintegration.
For magicians, even if they lose their lives, they must at least ensure that the magic engraving is passed on to the next generation intact, so that the next generation can inherit their unfinished achievements.
However, things in this world are always unsatisfactory.
Either because of disputes over inheritance rights, or because of the accidental death of the current patriarch, or because someone took it away... It is not uncommon for magicians to see damage to magic seals.
And those who can repair the magic engraving will naturally have a generally transcendent status among magicians.
Geryon Ashburn, the lord of the stripped city, is one who can repair the magic seal,
A very rare 【Restorer】.
When Geryon was still alive, magicians from families whose magic seals were damaged would often come here and ask him to restore the magic seals.
But Gelion died just last month.
The cause of death is temporarily unknown, but he left a very precious legacy.
The magicians believed that maybe that inheritance included the secret method that could restore the magic seal. In view of this, the castle naturally attracted many sharks with ulterior motives like the blood in the deep sea.
As long as they can get that secret method, doesn't it mean that they can also become new [restorers]? Not only can the status in the clock tower be raised in one go, but it also has extraordinary significance for restoring the family's magic seal.
In view of this, all the invited magicians naturally came here.
A pair of master and apprentice.
A pair of siblings.
A mercenary.
A Shugenja from the Far Eastern religion [Shugendo].
An old-school magician who must be at least a few decades old.
There is also a young lady from a famous Finnish family.
And a host of the heritage ceremony from the Clock Tower [Law and Politics Section].
This is today, all the guests coming from the city.
…………
"Move all the things to the room for me, and then leave Courant alone, and everyone else will go back."
A pleasant girl's voice came into Liu Xia's ears from outside the door, making him hold his breath silently, and activated the ability of [breath blocking] with all his strength.
"Really, the servants in this stripped city are really stingy, they are only allowed to bring one servant or something..."
The girl complained gracefully from outside the door. At the same time, there were some heavy footsteps going back and forth in the room, placing various things of different weights. According to the girl's words before, it should be It was the luggage she brought from home.
By the way, this girl is the eldest lady of a famous Finnish family, and she seems to be the young head of the family. She should have great power, so she travels very extravagantly, but she is not from the famous family of the Clock Tower, so it doesn't mean much to Lucia.
"Please bear with me a little bit, miss."
Another thick male voice came from outside, "If you want to obtain Geryon's inheritance, you can only follow the other party's rules. There is no way to only bring one servant."
"Of course I know that."
The girl seemed a little perplexed and said, "But why did Geryon use [angels] as a method of selecting heirs? And he also placed so many [angels] in the city."
While the girl was puzzled, the servants she brought also took out the items from the suitcase and placed them around the room.
But no one came to open the closet, and the servants did not dare to touch the eldest lady's clothes, because she was going to live here for a period of time, the girl also brought a lot of personal clothes for changing, and those things could only be arranged by the girl herself.
"Kuran, you go out first, I want to change my clothes first."
After the servants left one after another, the girl said this to her first servant. Not surprisingly, this man named 'Kurang' was the servant the girl planned to stay in the stripped city.
"Okay, miss. Please tell me if you have anything to do."
The man named Courant also left the room, leaving only the eldest lady in the room.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of 'rusting' from outside the closet, as well as the sound of fabric rubbing against delicate skin. It seemed that this young lady was already changing her clothes.
Liu Xia bowed slightly.
The muscles in the body are mobilized, ready to explode at any time.
After a while, slight footsteps sounded, and the closet was getting closer and closer. The other party probably wanted to put his clothes into the closet——
"squeak--"
The wardrobe door was opened by the other party, and the creaking sound of the wooden wardrobe came out immediately.
The next moment, before the girl could react, a hand suddenly stretched out from the closet, and pinched her throat with incomparable precision, causing her scream to be stuck in her throat instantly, and no sound could be uttered. .
After a hasty "touch", the girl's figure was forcibly pulled into the closet by the other party, and the closet door was quickly closed.
The room quickly became empty.
