Chapter 137: Ask About the Name of 【Angel】

Geryon Ashbourne, the owner of Stripping City, died suddenly, but magicians are creatures who don't know when they will die on the road to explore the root, so it seems that they have made a will long ago.

Geryon had no son.

He originally had a wife and children, but his wife and son seemed to have left him one after another because of incurable diseases, making him a lonely family.

In view of this, his inheritance can only be entrusted to the magicians who came to this stripped city at his invitation.

However, of course, Geryon will not divide his inheritance evenly and hand it over to everyone. His plan is to choose the most suitable one among the magicians who came here, and hand over his inheritance to the other party. .

The way of selection is to conduct a special puzzle-solving ceremony.

The one who was invited to preside over the inheritance ceremony was a magician from the Clock Tower [Law and Politics Department].

[Law and Politics] is the most special department in the Clock Tower. It is not one of the twelve disciplines, but the thirteenth discipline outside the twelve disciplines.

The official name of the [Law and Politics Section] is actually the [First Principles Executive Bureau]. In other words, it is a department strictly adhering to the principle of 'mystery should be hidden', and its inherent function is to 'guard the existence of the magic world' ' and 'Supervise the presence of magicians'.

This is not a place for studying magic, but a political department for operating and managing the clock tower.

The magicians who come out of this department either join the execution force that intervenes in disputes among magicians, or through the power of the department, hold important government positions in countries that have close ties with the clock tower.

Whether it's internal disputes among magicians, inheritance inheritance, or international politics and economics, as long as the title of "for the continuation of the magic world" is used, [Law and Political Science] can all take part in it with great power and conduct. It is so powerful that magicians who are beyond ordinary people are afraid of it.

The inheritance ceremony of the stripped city will be fully presided over by the magician of the [Law and Politics Division].

The magicians of the [Law and Politics Division] are indeed terrifying, but as long as they are seriously considered for the magic world and have the legitimate right to inherit the inheritance, then the [Law and Politics Division] will not obstruct it secretly.

On this point, the [Law and Politics Section] is very authoritative and credible. If the magician from this department presides over the ceremony, then no one will have to worry that this inheritance ceremony will be unfair and favoritism will occur.

…………

"This inheritance ceremony is to find our respective [angels]."

Luvia took out a clean envelope, put it in front of Lucia, and took out a blank piece of paper with the word 'Michael' written on it, without any other words.

At the same time, she also took out a gemstone from the table, and put it on the wound that Liu Xia had bitten on her neck, and under the faint light of magic power, the bite mark on her neck was healed.

Lucia remembered that when he came to this room last night, the name plate on the door seemed to have the word 'Michael' written on it, in other words, this was actually the room Luvia was assigned to.

"- Ask the name of the angel

Those who do not answer questions will be deprived of their angels

Those who find my angel can inherit the inheritance—"

From Luvia's mouth faintly uttered three words that seemed to have special magic power.

After a pause, she continued to explain to Liu Xia: "This is all the content of the will announced by the magician Hua Ye Lingli of the [Law and Politics Division]."

The will left by the lord of the stripped city, and announced by [Law and Politics Division] magician Kano Hisashiri, has only these three lines in total.

The meaning of the words themselves is not difficult to understand.

The magicians who were invited to come here seem to be endowed with their own [Angels],

For example, the angel given to Luvia should be 'Michael'. This [angel] itself should be a clue to let the magicians find Geryon's [angel]. Once they find it, they can inherit its inheritance.

But what kind of clues does the "angel" itself contain, it is unclear. Therefore, how to find the angel of Geryon through one's own angel is even more confusing.

And in the second sentence, what does the angel refer to in the [Anyone who does not answer a question will be deprived of his angel]? It can't be the word 'Michael', right? So is it referring to the right to inherit the inheritance?

And what about the angels who are deprived of themselves because they ask questions but don't answer them?

The content of the entire will is quite obscure and full of magician-style mysteries.

"How much of this will do you understand now?"

Lucia looked at Luvia and asked her this question.

"No, I don't understand anything yet."

Luvia shook her head, without any intention of concealing Lucia, "Actually, I just learned of the will for an hour, and I haven't had time to think about the meaning of the will."

Liu Xia nodded. He was hiding in the closet before, and heard the voice in the hall. He knew that the will had just been announced, and he didn't have time to think that the joints in it were very normal.

But in this way, there are some troubles.

Although Liu Xia knew some [common sense] about magic, but she was seriously lacking in knowledge. It was simply unrealistic to solve the mystery of this inheritance by herself—let him use a knife and threaten the person who got the inheritance to hand over It's easier to get an inheritance.

"...Master, it seems to be this room."

When both Lucia and Luvia had no idea about the will, a girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the other party seemed to be talking to someone beside her.

"I see."

Immediately came another low-pitched but intellectual young male voice, giving an impression of wisdom and wisdom like a university professor.

The next moment, with a 'squeak', the door of Luvia's room was opened, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the door.

The taller person is a man with black waist-length hair, wearing a dark black slim suit, and his height is not inferior to the young Lucia, and he is wearing a pair of black gloves.

Although his hair seems to be as long as a woman's, he does not have the slightest weakness. Instead, he often frowns, giving off a feeling of impatience, exuding a slightly strong aura.

It's just that there are a few untimely wrinkles between the brows on his face, like a worker who can't bear to work all the year round.

The other person who is shorter is a girl who covers her face with a hood so that people can't see her face clearly. She should be more than 1.5 meters tall. She wears a black coat on her upper body and a gray pleated skirt on her lower body. He wore a hooded cape, black stockings on his legs, and a pair of short black round-toed leather shoes on his feet.

The whole person looks black and white, and only a pair of emerald green pupils can be seen from under the hood, giving people the impression of a winter fairy.

"ah……"

The girl with the hood covering her face subconsciously uttered a short exclamation after opening the door and seeing the figures of Lucia and Luvia inside.

Even the tall young man beside her was stunned.

"Is there anything important to come to visit at this time?"

Luvia's eyes were slightly raised, and her gaze was clearly locked on the young man with long hair, and she said the other's title from her mouth.

"—Sovereign El-Melloi II."
