Chapter 639: The angel who stripped Adela of the city and condemned him
The next morning.
Before dawn, the entire Peel City was woken up. Gray rubbed his eyes sleepily and subconsciously looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
It is now 4:33 in the morning, and the sky has just started to light up outside, but the color of night still remains in the sky.
"what happened?"
It was the maids of the castle who woke them up. Seeing their faces, Gray instinctively felt that something bad had happened.
Then, what happened next was just as she expected.
After passing through the foyer, there is the lobby on the other side. There are also sculptures of angels and various decorations. The early morning sunlight shines in through the stained glass of the dome, casting colorful colors on the huge angel statue in front of you.
screen.
The huge statue of an angel holds a sword and a scale in his hands. This shape is probably influenced by the Michael statue of Mont Saint-Michel, and the magicians present are very familiar with it. The scale is used to judge the sin of the dead, and the sword is used to repel
Michael the Serpent Archangel is undoubtedly one of the most famous angels.
He seemed to be holding up the holy sword in his hand in order to declare victory and faith.
At this time, the holy sword penetrated a human figure, and the blood flowed along the white sculpture, and finally gathered on the ground, forming a pool of blood, but this pool of blood had long since dried up, proving that they once had fresh vitality.
The man who was pierced by the holy sword was covered with incomplete armor. His once strong arms hung down feebly. His eyes were tightly closed on his handsome profile. Only the black blood stains remained at the corners of his mouth. He looked like he was sleeping.
Like a knight.
But there is no doubt that he is already dead, without any breath of life. People will die when they are killed. This is an unbreakable truth.
More magicians also arrived here. El-Melloi II looked at the scene in front of him, subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows, and let out a low groan.
Cedric also rushed over, his face ashen. He had indeed killed the magician named Heine in the underground chamber last night, but he threw the body into the chamber and ignored it.
He is not a psychopathic guy who likes to abuse other people's bodies. What's more, by placing Heine's body in such a conspicuous position, doesn't it simply bring more trouble to himself?
And what happened like this just illustrates a situation, a worst-case scenario.
Cedric pursed his lips subconsciously. The position of [Inheritance] was given to him by his mother, but according to his mother, it was left to him by his cheap father and was given to him after his death, so it should not be
There will be errors.
But when I came there and wanted to get the [Inheritance], I found that the [Inheritance] had already disappeared. Someone had already arrived first and took away the [Inheritance].
The same is true for Heine's body. There is a high chance that it is the person who took away the inheritance. He may have been secretly observing him. Hanging Heine's body in such a conspicuous position will not only add confusion to the entire process, but
There will be no other benefits.
So who is that person?
Thinking of this, Cedric felt a surge of annoyance in his heart. In addition, Heine's sister was crying constantly, and the crying sounded extremely annoying.
So he turned around and left, planning to return to his room. As of now, he still had to find that guy first.
Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly noticed that his nominal brother suddenly turned his head to look at him, then turned his head again and continued to be busy with other things.
【Could it be that guy?】
Cedric thought to himself, but quickly rejected this conjecture. His brother had no magic qualifications and could not inherit the old guy's [legacy]. This he could confirm.
but………
He frowned, and his head suddenly felt severe pain, which made his face look ugly. He felt dizzy, as if his soul was being swallowed.
"Master Cedric?"
Sensing something strange about Cedric, Mina asked in a low voice.
"It's the same old habit."
Cedric waved his hand and didn't pay much attention to it. This sudden headache was indeed an old problem. He vaguely remembered that his head had occasionally hurt like this since he was very young.
However, as I grow older, the cycle of headaches has become fixed, and I will suffer from the pain a few times every month.
"Then go down and prepare some medicine for you."
Mina also looked like she was not surprised. Having been with Cedric since childhood, she was naturally aware of his old problems.
"Then, please, Mina."
Cedric nodded, then frowned and returned to his room.
………
………
Obviously Cedric's departure did not attract the attention of others, and now all of their attention was focused on Heine's body.
Rosalind cried so loudly that she almost fainted.
"Good day, Lord Animusfia."
The other magicians greeted Mikael one after another, and then whispered something.
Soon Herishi Hanano also arrived at the scene. As a member of the Legal Affairs Department, she seemed to be very experienced in facing this kind of scene.
Heine's body was put down and everyone was watching. The first thing that caught the eye was the missing left leg, and then the incomplete armor. From it, you could see the traces of the fierce battle. Of course, more people also saw it.
The black network-like blood vessels under the skin were not missed.
Ryori Hanano leaned down, and his elegant movements reminded people of elegant animals like cranes.
"excuse me."
She said softly, and then skillfully checked the condition of her body.
"There were signs of poisoning, but it was this injury that was fatal."
Ryori Hanano stretched out his slender white fingers and pointed at Heine's throat, where he could see a penetrating wound. It was this wound that cut off his throat and ultimately led to his death.
"There are traces of battle on the surface of the armor, which look like bullets, but the attack here should have led to Mr. Heine's defeat."
A snake-like white ribbon protruded from her sleeves, fixing Heine's body in mid-air, allowing everyone to see the ferocious claw marks on his back.
"It looks like it was left by some kind of ferocious beast, but can any ferocious beast really break through the secret treasure passed down by the Istari family? It's really unbelievable."
When Fliuga saw the injury, he was slightly stunned. You must know that with this armor, Heine was able to kill an entire team of church pursuers.
"It's not certain yet."
Hanano Hisri shook his head slightly, and suddenly a blood-stained invitation fell to the ground with a dull sound.
She carefully picked up the invitation, looked at the words on it, and showed a strange expression.
