I'm really not a top magician

But its greatest use is its good special effects, which makes it particularly convenient for fooling people.

Seeing the strength displayed by Sajo Aika, Fareus' eyes opened slightly, but quickly closed again. He lowered his weapons with both hands and raised them slightly: "You have the final say."

"Then go ahead." Said Aika Shatiao.

"what?"

"Whether you're the murderer of the old housekeeper or not doesn't matter now," Sajo Aika narrated calmly, "Since you've fallen out with Luna, you have no choice but to leave here."

Fareus once again showed a venomous smile on his face, which made Shatiao Aige feel creepy.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Aika Satiao.

"I'm so sorry for losing my composure," said Phareus. "But before I go, let me give you a piece of information."

Sajo Aika thought for a moment and said, "Free?"

"..."

The corner of Fareus's eye twitched, and he shook his head and laughed: "It's free."

"What do you want to say?"

"The truth behind the old man's death."

Sajo Aika's face darkened. "Did you see that? Or are you trying to confuse people?"

"After all, it was me who fought him before."

Fareus rolled up his sleeves, leaving a bruise on his slender arm that was different from the knife wound. "That old man is not as simple as you see."

"What do you mean?"

"It's literally that, but believe it or not." Phareus continued, "But I can only give you a hint."

hint?

Aika Sajo noticed this point.

Why only give hints?

It's just a personal bad taste of Phareus.

Or maybe he was really afraid that someone would eavesdrop, so he only gave hints.

Is there really some unknown secret behind the old butler's death?

Seeing the doubt on Sajo Aika's face, Fareus smiled again: "The clue is: corpse."

"Corpse?"

Shatiao Aige repeated it several times, and then suddenly understood what Fareus said.

The clue to the matter is on the body.

Aika Sajo looked at Fareus again, and finally let go of the venomous snake in her hand, supervising the other party to leave the workshop.

After all, this workshop is protected by a barrier, and if you don't know the spell, you can't get in.

So Aigo Sajo was very relieved and watched Fareus leave.

But all she could think about was what he had just said.

But if the old butler's death was really as Phareus said, there was something wrong with it.

Since it wasn't Phareus who killed him,

Then who could have done it?

Could it be suicide, or is there something hidden in this workshop that I can't see?

"Forget it, just take it one step at a time."

Aika Sajo shook her head and went back into the workshop.

Outside the workshop, Fareus looked at the snake in his hand that was strangled to death by Shatiao Aige.

There was a very obvious magical reaction at the seven-inch position of the snake, which was still so obvious even after it left Sha Tiao Aige's place.

Each snake was created by Phareus using artificial human technology.

It can be said that there are snakes that are used for different types of magicians.

And this snake happens to be the one with the best resistance to magic.

Using pure magic attacks would hardly have any effect on it, and its magic resistance could even rival that of an ancient dragon.

But even a snake with such special characteristics was killed by Aika Shajo using only magic power.

Looking at the snake in his hand that was killed by the shock, Fareus's mouth once again showed a venomous smile.

I said to myself: "If this is you, then I feel relieved."

……

In the room, after settling Luna,

Sajo Aika as usual Orange: "How is Luna now?"

"It's okay, just take a break." Aozaki Touko said, "But I'm curious, you knew she was messing around, but you didn't stop her."

"If I go to help her, what will happen to her dignity?"

Aika Sajo said, "There are two kinds of fighting. One is fighting for survival, and the other is fighting for dignity. If I stop her, she will not be hurt, but at the same time, she will lose her dignity forever."

"But you finally took action. Why?" Orange asked.

"...I don't know." Sajo Aika shook her head. "My body just moved automatically. It's like if you see someone about to be killed on the street, you'll still do everything in your power to help. It's the same principle."

Although she explained it this way, Aika Sajo still didn't know the answer to this question.

Of course, Orange had already seen it.

She smiled faintly and said, "Actually, you're eager to fight too."

"what?"

"Do you remember the first time you stood up?"

"That kind of thing that was designed."

Orange's question left Shatiao Aige confused and she had no idea what the other party meant.

"The reason I can't remember is because I'm not aware of it," Orange explained. "Why did that person stand up?"

Sajo Aika pondered for a moment: "...because of instinct."

Orange nodded. "That's right. Everyone knows to stand up after birth, just like birds know to fly and fish know to swim. It's all instinct. Because of instinct, humans instinctively stand on the ground and instinctively fight to break free from fear. And you, too, instinctively desire to fight."

"..."

Sajo Aika was silent for a long time before replying, "What I hate most is fighting."

Because I am weak.

"Let's not talk about this for now. I need your help with something." Sajo Aika took the initiative to change the subject. "I hope you can thoroughly examine the butler's body later."

Chengzi took off his glasses, his expression darkening instantly: "You discovered it too?"

"What do you mean?"

"When I saw the head butler, I felt a vague sense of disharmony, but I can't quite put my finger on what it was."

Aika Sajo didn't expect that Orange's senses were so sharp that she had already noticed the inconsistency of the matter.

Orange's words also made Aika Sajo believe what Fareus said even more.

She already had a vague feeling that things were not that simple.

Sajo Aika also nodded, pretending to understand: "As a top puppeteer, your autopsy skills should be quite good."

"Just making do."

Although Chengzi said he was just making do, his tone revealed an indescribable confidence, "But the autopsy fee will be charged separately."

"..."

The corner of Sajo Aika's eye twitched again. She had almost forgotten that Chengzi was the type of person who would buy anything she liked no matter how much it cost.

For this reason, Orange often wrote letters to borrow money, but Orange never intended to pay it back.

"You should settle the autopsy fee with Luna," said Aika Sajo.

"make a deal."

Just when the two were chatting happily, there was a sudden bang.

A voice broke through the workshop's barrier and burst through the wall.

Sha Tiao Aige looked carefully and found that it was the Wild Hunt!

I’m currently working on the manuscript!

I'm typing at full speed!

Chapter 22 True Genius

The Wild Hunt, who had broken through the barrier, appeared before the two.

She felt the same urgency she had felt in the crypt again.

Because she knew very well that she had no means to defeat this guy.

At this time, we can only rely on oranges.

But at the same time, Sajo Aika thought of another serious problem.

This group of wild hunters were able to break through the barrier of Nalandril's workshop.

This means that the effectiveness of the barrier has begun to weaken.

In other words, the workshop is becoming increasingly out of control.

Shatiao Aige's body trembled. Could it be that something happened at the Holy Lake again?

Before Aika Satiao could say anything, Orange spoke first: "It seems that there was an accident at the Holy Lake, but Leif is there, he will find a way to solve it. Let's deal with this guy first."

"I'm relying on you, Orange." Saijo Aika said bluntly, "I can't do anything with this thing."

Aika Sajo had just thought of other excuses, but they all felt too deliberate and easy to be exposed. In addition, Orange had also seen her predicament in the tomb before, so it would be more realistic to rely on Orange at this time.

But Orange didn't think too much about it: "I know this, so I'll hand Lu En over to you."

"what?"

Sajo Aika was completely dumbfounded. She stared at Aozaki Touko with a dull expression, not even noticing that a Wild Hunt was staring at her closely in front of her: "Right now? Are you crazy? Isn't this guy going to take this opportunity to kill us?"

"Anyway, the death of this body doesn't mean anything to me. As for you..." Aozaki Touko said with interest, "You can only improvise, or... are you scared?"

"Do you think I look scared?" Sajo Aika answered seriously.

Although she appeared very arrogant and displayed the pride that a Clock Tower genius should have, she was actually very panicked at the moment.

"That's no problem." After hearing Aika Sajo's reply, Orange also smiled happily.

But the Wild Hunt would not give the two a chance. After noticing that their eyes were away from him, the Wild Hunt charged towards them.

"Sand bar, I'm only going to use it once, so you better watch out for it."

Orange pushed Shatiao Aige away and dodged the attack of the Wild Hunt with cat-like agility. While jumping back to avoid the attack, Orange used a cigarette butt to draw a simple word in the air. She tried hard to mobilize the magic power in her body and injected all her strength into this simple word.

"—"

Then, as the spell sounded, flames instantly ignited on the Wild Hunt's body.

"Ow—!"

The Wild Hunter, burned by the flames, roared in pain, but it was not defeated by the flames. On the contrary, it ignored the raging flames on its body and rushed directly towards Aozaki Touko, trying to tear the attacker's body apart.

Aika Shajo could clearly feel the faint smell of burning in the air, the dazzling flames, and the sweeping heat wave.

"—"

Another spell was chanted, but this time it was different from the previous one. Shatiao Aige heard that Chengzi chanted several sections of Lu Wen.

boom!

There was a knocking sound, and the flaming Wild Hunt seemed to hit a translucent light blue wall.
