"I remember there is a magic trick in the Ore Department that can show the time when gems or ores exist."
Li Xiang asked, "Senior sister, is there any way to determine the time of her death?"
After all, his time in the clock tower was too short, and he didn't have time to learn many magic tricks.
Astarte took a step forward and took out a yellow gem.
Her magic flowed out.
With a soft drink, the gem shattered into pieces and enveloped Tiadra's body.
"The time of death was more than half a month."
Astarte said.
"So the Golden Princess who appeared yesterday was temporarily created by Bailon? If he didn't do this, his banquet would not be held as scheduled and his deeds would be exposed."
Lenis' face was heavy.
She already roughly understood why Bailon wanted to frame her.
Because Izeruma is a separate family.
If Inolai knew that he killed Tiadra.
He will be punished by both the Creative and Legal Affairs Sections.
No one dares to bear it.
"But why does this new golden princess join forces with Byron?"
Lenis asked again, "The defection she told me last night should be true. After all, there are lessons learned from the past. She may not be able to escape death."
"She wants to fish in troubled waters."
Li Xiang said in a deep voice, "Bringing El-Melloi in will inevitably cause chaos and attract everyone's attention, and she can leave quietly."
"footprint!"
Lenis suddenly became energetic and said, "The ground in the lake area is full of wet grass. Walking through it will definitely leave traces. Since the new golden princess wants to run away, the best time is now!"
And for magicians who claim to be extraordinary and transcend the world, they don't care about traces such as footprints.
Because they used magic rather than modern investigative methods to search.
Only his sworn brother can use it.
"Walk."
Lenis left the Tower of the Moon, stopped at the door, and said, "Trimmau, look for Tiyadra's footprints."
The mercury maid immediately turned into flowing mercury, quickly filling the remaining footprints on the ground.
Li Xiang couldn't help but sigh, this magic gift is really omnipotent.
Can do anything.
He remembered that she could brew black tea inside her body.
"Follow me."
The mercury maid returned to her original position and led the way.
As we go deeper, a lush forest appears.
The forest is very humid and primitive, and they are the first intruders.
There are rotten leaves everywhere.
Lenis and Astarte were both wearing dresses, which were not suitable for walking in this kind of forest.
Seeing this, Li Xiang slowed down.
"There is a barrier."
Astarte raised his head and said.
Lenis's eyes lit up.
Having a barrier means someone wants to hide something.
She took a few steps forward and her vision suddenly became clear.
spring.
The forest is unusually divided into an open land.
And in the middle, water is constantly gushing out from the depths.
But these are not the point.
The focus is on the people floating in the spring water.
One of the personal maids of the Golden Princess and the Silver Princess, Karina.
The blood dyed the spring water red, making it look particularly beautiful.
"Why did she die here?"
Lenis took a deep breath, with confusion on her face.
In her imagination, there was no role for Karina at all.
Although it was the maid who made the whistleblower, shouldn't the main characters be Tiadra and Byron?
Li took a step forward, pretending to be deep in thought and said: "It seems that we have overlooked a crucial issue. It took the Izaluma family countless years to create two princesses, but this new golden princess is
Appeared within half a month."
Lenis was stunned for a moment.
yes.
How could the new Golden Princess be created so quickly and be even more beautiful than the original?
This is simply a miracle.
"Unless it's temporary."
Li Xiang guessed, "Using magic combined with a powerful curse body should be able to create a temporary golden princess. As far as we know, Bailong took a photo of a curse body not long ago, a Bodhi leaf stained with dragon's blood."
Lenis turned her head stiffly and said, "Karina is the new golden princess who has been cast a magic spell."
"That's the best possibility."
Li Xiang nodded and asked, "The original Golden Princess should have been killed by Bai Long, but what about this one? Who killed her?"
Lenis fell into silence.
There were too few clues for her to deduce the truth.
Even Karina's identity was guessed by Li Xiang.
She felt a little tired.
As for detectives, her adopted brother is better at it.
"Let's fish out the body first."
Li Xiang suggested.
"Trimmau."
Lenis came back to her senses and shouted.
The mercury maid immediately stretched out two strands of mercury and carried the body to the shore.
"The cause of death was fatal injury to the heart."
Li Xiang squatted down and could see the cause of death with almost no inspection.
"A pretty sharp blow."
He shook his head and found another decoration on his clothes.
It looks like some kind of necklace made of stones.
There are swirling patterns on the stone.
Li Xiang was slightly startled, he looked familiar.
He looked at the obsidian necklace on his wrist given by Astarte.
"This is the amulet."
Li Xiang stood up and said, "But there was no trigger, which means the murderer and Karina knew each other."
Astarte took the necklace and inspected it. She was from the ore department and was most familiar with gems.
She nodded and said: "The triggering of the amulet is quite simple and easy, unless the murderer is too strong and leaves her no time to react. Otherwise, he is an acquaintance and she is unprepared."
"Finally the scope of the murderer was locked down."
Lenis said with relief, "The next step is to check her acquaintances. There is no doubt that she is a member of the Izeruma family."
"Let's go back to the Tower of the Sun and explain the situation to Lord Enolai."
Astati handed the necklace to Lenis.
"One more thing."
Li Xiang reminded, "Create a new golden princess in a short time, and make the fake look like the real one. It is impossible for the Bailong family to have such an ability, and even Mr. Inolai can't do it. The only one who can do it is the top puppet master Cang."
Saki Orange.”
"..."
Lenis felt a little out of breath.
Even the title was involved.
How capable is the El-Melloi family?
"Needless to say Aozaki Yuko's achievements, her puppet skills may be the key to recreating the Golden Princess."
Li Xiang added, "Now her attitude is unclear, we should be careful about her."
"Trimmau."
Lenis rubbed her forehead and said, "No matter what, let's find out the murderer first."
Mercury Maid immediately picked up Karina.
"Weather magic."
Astarte raised his head.
I saw a black cloud floating from the east, covering the entire lake area in the blink of an eye.
The speed is abnormally fast.
Li Xiang formed a seal with his hands and said after a moment: "There are more than thirty magicians, no wonder the range is so wide."
"Attack on Izeruma at this time?"
Lenis frowned.
No matter how you think about it, it's not an accident.
And why do they dare to attack when both the monarch Baluereta and the crowned magician Aozaki Yuko are here?
Unless an agreement is reached.
Her heart trembled and she said, "They might be coming for us!"
The moment her voice fell, a low thunder sounded.
The next moment, a strong impact fell from the sky.
The protective barrier of the Izeruma family was almost visible to the naked eye.
Li Xiang quickly reached out his hand to support Lenis who was nearest.
His strong physical fitness completely withstood the shock.
But Lenis is an orthodox magician and has run the El-Melloi family for a long time. Regardless of her level of magic, she is just an ordinary girl.
"Thanks."
After Lenis stood firm, she noticed that the dark clouds in the sky still had not dispersed, and said, "This is just the first wave of attacks, we must stop them."
