Chapter 151: The Real Prisoner and Its Motive

,

Geryon's wife and son died of the same terminal illness one after another.

But in fact, according to Orok, Geryon's wife did not die, but before she died, Geryon used butterfly magic to transform her into a beast and kept her at home.

Since he 'retained' his wife, of course he wanted to bring his son back to life.

So, he disguised himself as one to attract many magicians with damaged magic engravings, and then he filled the engravings (organs) of his son into those damaged engravings, hoping that his son's Memories and personalities can be regenerated from these magicians.

Can this method really be regarded as resurrection?

Theoretically speaking, his son Granit died a long time ago, and even his soul may have dissipated long ago. Even if he gave his son's memory and personality to other magicians, the son who wakes up is really his. son?

This kind of thing is too philosophical, no one can give the correct answer, Liu Xia pondered for a while, and felt that she couldn't get the answer.

But for the person who lost his wife and children and fell into grief, this is undoubtedly a kind of resurrection, at least in his eyes, it is a kind of resurrection.

So, frantically, he filled the engravings of his son into the engravings of nearly a thousand magicians.

Among them, more than 990 magicians died on the spot due to the rejection reaction, but less than ten magicians survived the rejection reaction, and their engravings were successfully 'repaired'.

Among the magicians who were successfully restored was the Shugendo of the Far East—then Jirobo Qinggen.

That's right, this man actually came to Strip City a few months ago and 'restored' the magic seal, but when Geryon died a few months later, he said he wanted to 'repair the family tradition'. The Magic Crest' name is here again.

Of course, the reason goes without saying——

"Ha... are you a famous detective?"

'Shiren Jirobo Seigen' showed a wry smile at El-Melloi II, giving people a completely different feeling from before. If he was a little frivolous before, then he is only heavy now. That's all.

"As you say, I am indeed Granit Ashburn."

"Then Jirobo Seigen", whose body was possessed by a ghost named Granit Ashburn,

Frankly admitted his identity.

"Heine Istari, I also asked my mother to kill him."

The "mother" he refers to is, of course, the beast lying on the ground.

"My intention is to find out who killed my father through this inheritance ceremony."

"Then Jirobo Seigen" said so, and looked at the old magician sitting in the wheelchair on the other side, Orok Sishamend, with eyes full of hatred and ferociousness.

"Thanks to you, I found it without any effort!"

Even though he was staring at him so intently, O'Rourke's expression did not show the slightest panic. On the contrary, the way he looked at 'Shiren Jirobo Qinggen' became strange.

Lucia somehow felt that he was somewhat familiar with this look.

"Snapped!"

'Shiren Jirobo Qinggen' suddenly clasped his palms together, making a crisp sound. At the same time, he also suddenly mobilized the magic power in his body, and shouted: "Adela, the stripping city! Open the door!"

"boom----"

In an instant, the entire stripped city felt a violent tremor, as if the entire castle had awakened in an instant, and let out a threatening roar.

"Oops!"

El-Melloi II's complexion changed, "This was originally Geryon's magic workshop, and it's only natural that his son can control it!"

The rest of the people were stunned, and then they were shocked.

However, before they could take defensive measures, a majestic magical power suddenly emerged from the entire hall, and the magical power instantly turned into several dark barriers, covering everyone.

Luvia subconsciously wanted to take out the gemstone from her pocket, but the barrier covered it too quickly.

This place was originally built by Geryon with countless years of thought. It is the most suitable magic workshop for the Ashburn family. If they are controlled by their family, they can naturally exert the maximum power of this workshop.

The speed of the enchantment was so fast that Luvia didn't even have the chance to use the magic.

At the critical juncture, a figure came to her in an instant with a speed that even the barrier couldn't match, and stretched out his hand to wrap around her waist, bringing her out of the range of the barrier.

Luvia only felt her waist tighten, and then her eyes blurred, and then the enchantment disappeared from her eyes.

After a while, she realized that she looked at Liu Xia beside her.

"...Let me thank you for now."

Luvia breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly to Lucia, and thanked her.

Just like what I said before, this is Geryon's magic workshop after all, once it gets caught in the barrier, what will happen is completely unpredictable.

Liu Xia indifferently let go of the arms holding her waist, did not express her gratitude in any way, but just cast her eyes on the hall not far away.

At this moment, in the hall, there are three barriers covering it.

One originally wanted to seal Liu Xia, so it was located in the shadow of the wall, but it was wishful thinking to trap him as a sub-servant, so at this moment it gradually disappeared because it didn't cover anyone.

The second one covered the magician Frenge, Orok Sishamende, and 'Ren Jirobo Kiyogen' together, and along with that, the four-legged monster disappeared. Jirobo Seigen' rescued through the workshop.

The third barrier covered the law and politics department magician Kano Hishiri, the monarch El-Melloi II, and his hooded girl attendant named Grey.

Originally, Luvia would also be covered by the third barrier, but Lucia rescued her in time.

"In the end, the real murderer was actually that Shugenja. It seems that your guess is more accurate."

Luvia said a little depressed: "I completely thought that the murderer was the old man O'Rourke. No matter how I think about it, his motive is a bit bigger."

Before this temptation started, Luvia had discussed with Lucia who the real murderer was. Luvia thought it was Orok, but Lucia thought it was Jirobo Qinggen.

The reason why he thinks so is simply because when he was tracking the beast last night, Ren Jirobo Qinggen once appeared to obstruct him. At that time, he should have shot it deliberately to let the beast escape from Lucia's pursuit, so as to attract his attention yes.

If Liu Xia thinks from the perspective of a killer, when her method of killing is about to be exposed, she will find a way to hinder him no matter what.

Therefore, what he suspected from the very beginning was 'then Jirobo Qinggen', but because of his complete lack of knowledge about magic, he was unable to confirm his suspicion.
