Eighth Crown

Gryon Ashbourne, the owner of Peeling City, died suddenly, but the magician is a creature who doesn't know when he will die on the way to explore the root, so it seems that he has already made a will.

Gryon had no sons.

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 an orphan.

In view of this, his legacy can only be entrusted to the magicians who were invited by him to this city of separation.

However, of course, Glyon will not divide his inheritance equally and give it to everyone. His plan is to choose the most suitable one among the magicians who come here, and give his inheritance to the other party. .

The way to choose is to perform a special puzzle-solving ceremony.

The one who was invited to preside over this inheritance ceremony was a magician from the Clock Tower [Jurisprudence Division].

[Law and Politics], that is the most special department in the clock tower. It is not one of the twelve disciplines itself, but the thirteenth discipline that is separate from the twelve disciplines.

The official name of the [Law and Politics Division] is actually the [First Principles Executive Bureau]. In other words, this is a department that strictly adheres to the principle of 'mysteries should be hidden', and its inherent function is to 'guard the existence of the magic world' ' and 'Supervise the existence of magicians'.

This is not a place to study magic, but a political department used to operate and manage the clock tower.

Magicians from this department either join the executive force that intervenes in disputes between mages, or through the power of the department, they hold important government positions in countries that have close ties with the Clock Tower.

Whether it is internal disputes among magicians, inheritance of inheritance, or international politics and economy, as long as it is in the name of 'for the continuation of the magic world', the [Law and Politics Division] can all participate in an open and fair manner, with great power and power. It is so powerful that magicians who are beyond ordinary people are afraid of it.

This time, the inheritance ceremony of the divestiture city was presided over by the magician of the [Law and Politics Division].

The magician of the [Law and Politics Division] is scary, but as long as they are serious about the magic world and have a legitimate right to inherit the inheritance, then the [Law and Politics Division] will not obstruct them secretly.

In this regard, the [Law and Politics Division] is quite authoritative and credible. If a magician from this department presides over the ceremony, then no one has to worry that this inheritance ceremony will be unfair and biased.

…………

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

Luvia took out a clean envelope, put it in front of Liu Xia, and took out a piece of white paper with the words 'Michael' written on it, but nothing else.

At the same time, she also took out a gem from the table and placed it on the wound on the neck that Liu Xia bitten out. Under the weak magic light, the bite mark on the neck was healed.

Liu Xia remembered that when he came to this room last night, the nameplate on the door seemed to have the word 'Michael' written on it. In other words, this was actually the room where Luvia was assigned.

"—Ask the name of an angel

Those who do not answer a question will be deprived of their angels

If you find my angel, you can inherit the inheritance--"

From Luvia's mouth, three words 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 of the [Law and Politics Division] Kano Ryori."

The will that was left by the lord of the strip city and announced by the magician Kano Ryori of the [Law and Politics Division] has only these three lines in total.

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

The magicians who have been invited here seem to be given their own [angels]. For example, the angel given to Luvia should be 'Michael'. This [angel] itself should be a clue. Let the magicians look for the [Angel] of Gryon, and if they find it, they can inherit his legacy.

But what kind of clues the [Angel] itself contains, it is unclear. Therefore, how to find the angel of Glyon through his own angel is even more confusing.

Moreover, in the second sentence, "If he fails to answer a question, he will be deprived of his angel", what does the angel refer to? It can't be the words 'Michael', can it? So is it the right to inherit the inheritance?

And what is the angel who will be deprived of himself if he asks something but does not answer it?

The content of the entire will is rather obscure, full of magician-style mysteries.

"How much can you understand in this will now?"

Lucia looked at Luvia and asked her that.

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

Luvia shook her head, without any intention of concealing Liu Xia, "Actually, I just learned that the will is less than an hour old, and I haven't had time to think about the meaning of the will."

Liu Xia nodded. He was hiding in the closet before when he heard the voice in the hall. He knew that the will had just been announced, and it was too late to think that the joints were normal.

But then, there is some trouble.

Although Liu Xia knows some [common sense] in magic, she is seriously lacking in knowledge. It is unrealistic to try to solve the mystery of this inheritance by herself alone - let him use a knife and threaten the person who has obtained the inheritance. It's easier to get out of a legacy.

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

When both Liu Xia and Luvia had no clue about the will, a girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door. The other party seemed to be talking to someone beside him.

"I see."

Then came another deep but intellectual young male voice, giving people the impression of being full of wisdom and wisdom like a university professor.

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

The taller man was a man with black waist-length hair. He was wearing a dark black slim fit suit. His height was not inferior to the youthful Liu Xia. black gloves.

Although his hair seems to be as long as a woman's, he doesn't have the slightest weakness in himself, instead he frowns from time to time, giving people 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, as if he can't bear the tired workers all the year round.

The other person with a shorter stature is a young girl whose face is covered with a hood, making it difficult to see her appearance. She should be over one meter five, wearing a black coat on the upper body and a gray pleated skirt on the lower body. He was wearing a cloak with a hood, 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 the impression of a winter fairy.

"what……"

The girl with the hood covering her face opened the door and saw the figures of Liuxia and Luvia inside, and subconsciously let out a short exclamation.

Even the tall young man beside her was stunned.

"Is there anything important to come to visit at such a time?"

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

"—Monarch El-Melloi II."
