Chapter 175 Fallen Angel
Jane stepped forward to pat the fallen angel, but as soon as her hand was outstretched, she saw that the other's coarse linen clothes were covered with vomit and filth.

She withdrew her hand again and said to Hua Sheng, "Go and get something to help me sober up?"

What can help with hangovers?

"Let's get some grapes; grapes can help sober you up."

"If he drinks like this, giving him grapes will turn them into wine."

"Whatever, or just some honey water."

Hua Sheng then chanted a magic spell, conjuring a cup of warm honey water. He stepped next to the fallen angel, picked up a dry cloth from the side, and wiped the vomit off the angel's chest.

Then he helped the huge blond man up from behind, put the water glass to his lips, and made him drink some warm water.

When Hua Sheng lifted the man, he was astonished to discover that the middle-aged man actually had a pair of enormous wings on his back. However, for some reason, many of the feathers on the wings had fallen off, exposing much of his skin.

"I never imagined she really was an angel..." Hua Sheng sighed softly, "There really is a living angel in this world."

The blond man gradually woke up after drinking warm water, and upon seeing Hua Sheng and Jian in front of him, he merely raised an eyebrow. He seemed completely unsurprised that there were strangers in his house.

He rolled over and broke free from Hana-sheng's arm, rummaging through the pile of bottles at his feet while saying, "Vin, Vin, Vin..."

“Don’t bother looking for alcohol!” Jane said.

The man coughed a few times, raised his head, cleared his hoarse voice, and asked, "Who are you guys?"

Jane knelt down and said patiently, "Your Excellency, I am Jane, a student at Klin Magic Academy. I have come to visit you today."

“Oh… a kid from Klin Magic Academy.” The man sat up against the wall, panting, and said, “How’s Professor Bivis? Is that old geezer still alive?”

“Professor Bivis…” Jane paused before continuing, “He is still in good health. He is the one who taught the students white magic.”

"No wonder... he's been busy with his studies." The man sighed drunkenly. "No wonder he hasn't come to drink with me for so many years."

"Your Majesty the Fallen Angel..."

“Kerry, Kerry Wells. Please call me by my earthly name,” said the fallen angel.

“Mr. Carey, I’m here today for something important, and I would like to ask for your help.”

"Hahaha... I didn't expect I still had some value."

The fallen angel Kelly laughed, but his laughter betrayed his unhappiness: "But I can no longer fly; my wings were broken long ago. What value does an angel who can't fly have?"

Jane immediately said, “No, esteemed Mr. Carey. There is something only you can help us with. It is very important to us.”

As she spoke, Jane pulled a can from her backpack and said, “This is the air from the treasure vault of our Klin Magic Academy. I would like you to take a look and see if it was left by the Eastern man next to me, or better yet, tell us who left it and when.”

The fallen angel Kelly said, "You mean the aura? Most humans have impure aura, and these impurities are all different."

When Hua Sheng heard him look down on humans, he said, "Mr. Angel, it doesn't seem very convincing to describe humans as filthy in your current state."

The fallen angel laughed as he slowly got up from the ground, and only then did Hua Sheng realize that the room was very high.

The fallen angel Kelly stood up straight without touching the roof slabs. He shook his wings and said, "Humans are like this, spending their whole lives defending their dignity. They lose all self-control at the slightest humiliation."

He stood up, muttering to himself, and relaxed his bones, making a series of crackling sounds like firecrackers all over his body, which gave Hua Sheng goosebumps.

Then the fallen angel took the can from Jane's hand, twisted it hard, and the can broke with a snap.

The fallen angel drew a golden cross in the air, and the air around the jar immediately seemed to be dyed, acquiring a mixture of luminous colors. Those bright colors floated in the air, mingling together and becoming indistinguishable.

The fallen angel Kelly looked inside and said, "It seems there are over a hundred people's aura patterns inside."

He then spread his hands and waved them at the glitter.

The mixed powders began to separate into layers, looking like luminous ribbons when viewed from the side. Then he pointed to one of the sky-blue "ribbons" and said, "The blue ones are the aura patterns of this young man from the East."

Jane grabbed Hua Sheng by the collar and said, "It really was you! You've been to the Demon School's treasury, let's see what you have to say for yourself!"

"Wait! I've never been there!" Hua Sheng argued.

Mieying quickly said, "Hua Sheng, are you stupid? Of course you've been there. Didn't we kidnap her in the treasure vault?"

Hearing this, Jane let go.

Mieying is right. This can of air was indeed taken from the treasure vault when Huasheng was alive, so it makes sense that Huasheng's aura pattern is in it.

Mieying asked, "Uncle Angel, can you tell if the aura patterns when a person first appears can be arranged in chronological order?"

Hua Sheng quickly agreed, "That's right! If we follow the order, then my aura appeared before we obtained the air. It should exist in the newest few columns!"

"It's easy," said the fallen angel Kelly.

With that, he waved his hand. The "colored ribbons" began to flip and change order. The "blue ribbon" that had represented the blooming flowers moved to the second position from the top.

Meanwhile, the fallen angel Kerry suddenly became interested in the first "ribbon." He patted his face to sober up. Then he said to everyone, "Look at this first ribbon. Am I drunk, or is it really changing color?"

Hua Sheng noticed that the first aura pattern was completely different in color from the others. Although the other patterns varied in color, they were all single hues. However, the aura pattern that Kaili pointed to displayed a gradient of colors.

"Am I dazzled?"

The fallen angel Kelly examined the aura closely and counted: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine! Why does this aura appear to me to have nine colors? It is truly the most beautiful aura I have ever seen."

Hua Sheng took a closer look, then slapped his thigh and said to Mie Ying, "This must be your Qi pattern! It's a collection of your sisters' Qi patterns!"

Mieying also leaned closer to take a closer look, seemingly quite interested, nodding and humming as he looked.

"Could it be the girl's aura?" Fallen Angel Kerry looked at Shadow Extinction. "The East is truly a magical place; anything is possible there."

Jian Ze had no time to pay attention to the beautiful aura patterns; instead, she was eager to ask, "Your Excellency, besides the one shown above, have this young man's blue aura patterns appeared in the treasure vault at any other times?"

The fallen angel, Kerry, scanned the area carefully from top to bottom and said, "No! But..."

“But what?” Jane pressed.

“Three months ago, a person living in the East visited the treasure vault. That person left behind some kind of energy pattern, but it was not this boy.”

The three of them asked in unison, "Who is it?"

The fallen angel, Kerry, shook his head helplessly. "I've never seen this person before, and I don't know what he looks like. I only know that he's an Easterner like this boy... Wait!"

He pulled the aura out from underneath; it was a bright white aura. Then he placed it next to Hua Sheng's blue aura for comparison, saying, "Incredible..."

The fallen angel Kelly pointed to the tiny lines on the blue and white aura and said to Hanamori, "The person who visited the treasure vault three months ago was not you, but someone who looked very much like you!"
