Chapter 149 The Intertwined Past
Stripping City, lobby on the first floor.
When O'Rourke saw the unconscious beast in the middle of the hall, his face was obviously shaken.
"Oh?"
Luvia was always paying attention to O'Rourke's reaction, and when his face became chaotic, she was keenly aware of it, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face.
"It seems that the old man really knows this beast, right?"
With just one sentence, the eyes of all the people present were focused on O'Rourke, El-Melloi II, Huano Hishiri and others had different eyes.
"Hmph... I thought you wanted to say something."
O'Loke managed his expression in good time, and the expression on his face became as calm and proud as before, "This old man and Geryon are good friends, so what is it to know a beast in his hand?"
"You say that, there is really no problem."
Although Luvia agreed with O'Rourke's statement, the smile on her face was very happy, "Then, who is the most likely to control the beast, old man?"
"Don't say it's my servant anymore, this beast was caught by my servant." Luvia added.
O'Rourke was taken aback for a moment, and then his face became visibly ugly to the naked eye.
The then Ren Jirobo Qinggen and Frenge on the side both cast doubtful eyes on him.
Although Hanano Hishiri and El-Melloi II were not so direct, they also cast their gazes over and looked directly at him.
He slipped up.
Because he saw it that shouldn't be here, he was flustered for a while, so he said, "know this beast".
But everyone present knew that this beast was raised by Geryon, and the only ones who could control this beast, except for Lucia, a dead disciple who might have the ability to control monsters, were those who were closely related to Geryon. Someone who really knew the beast.
But the beast was caught by Liu Xia, so he can naturally wash away 80% of the suspicions, and at this stage the most suspicious one is O'Loke.
If he only said that he and Geryon were good friends, it would not be enough to be suspected, but as soon as he admitted that he knew the beast, he immediately became the object of suspicion.
"seriously?"
At that time, Jirobo Qinggen looked at O'Rourke suspiciously, and muttered in his mouth.
"Have you any excuse, Orok Sishamende?"
As an administrator, Huaye Hishiri asked with a chuckle at O'Rourke.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became dead silent.
"Haha...Although it's just a nouveau riche family, it still has two brushes, brat."
After a long silence, O'Loke squeezed out a few laughs, and the expression on his face became helpless, "Forget it, then I'll tell you—this beast and I, no, are and her origin."
"That was when I was young..."
Under everyone's gaze, O'Rourke's cloudy eyes seemed to recall memories.
"I am a magician, and I am a magician of a magic family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Of course, I know the importance of magician ethics in the process of magic research. In theory, even relatives and lovers can easily abandon it. .”
As long as it is something that hinders the way forward, whether it is a family member or a lover, everything can be discarded.
This is the ethics of the magician.
"But even so, I still fell in love with her hopelessly. She is so beautiful, so gentle, and her skin is so fair, even my heart of insisting on the magic way was shaken."
While narrating this, O'Rourke seemed to be immersed in that era, and cast his gentle eyes on the unconscious beast on the ground.
"But by chance, she ended up marrying Geryon,
Became Lord of Stripped City - wife of my friend, and fathered a child, Granit Ashburn. "
When Orok told his story, everyone in the hall was attracted by him.
Only Liu Xia, who stood in the shadows and looked at the reactions of the people around him, keenly noticed that when he talked about this, the eyes of someone in the hall suddenly became ferocious for a moment.
"I learned that she was terminally ill after she died."
O'Rourke continued to recall: "After she died, I couldn't think of food or tea for a long time, and my mind was full of her figure. Later, I learned that even her child Granite Ashburn Suffering from the same terminal illness as hers made me feel very hateful and regretful at that time, even if I went to the Druid to ask for a panacea, the child could not be cured, and he died in his prime."
"Until one day last month, Geryon approached me, and he told me very happily——he succeeded in keeping her."
O'Loke looked at the beast lying on the ground, with deep pain in his eyes, "I did see her, she turned into a monster - this is my butterfly magic technique, I can't not recognize her come out. "
It is said that the Butterfly Magic is a magic that is extracted from the concept of "worms transforming into butterflies" and used to carry out the project of "Human Transformation". It is completely possible for people to transform into beasts.
In other words, Geryon used Orok's butterfly magic to turn his wife into a monster?
Everyone present looked at the beast lying on the ground in disbelief.
This beast is actually Geryon's terminally ill wife?
Although in the field of magicians, there are some cases of voluntary transformation into inhuman things in order to continue their own research, but in the final analysis, it is still incredible that such a thing happened before their eyes, and Geryon is not going to himself, but turned his wife into a beast——
"I know that Geryon did nothing wrong from the standpoint of a magician. It is a very normal behavior for a magician to store the body of the dead as a collection for research, but I just couldn't bear it at the time."
O'Rourke seemed to recall his mood at that time, and the expression on his face became darker, and an astonishing murderous intent was released from his cloudy eyes.
"So, I sneaked up and killed him."
When everyone in the hall heard the words, they all froze.
The reason why they came here was because Gelion died just last month, but they had no heirs. They didn't expect to learn the cause of Gelion's death here.
"This is the past between me and Geryon."
O'Loke recovered from his memories, and looked at everyone with a calm expression, "But that's all. I neither spy on Geryon's secrets, nor do I intend to kill anyone. Believe it or not, the death of Kid Heine not my business."
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to believe his words or not.
