Chapter 640: The Prophecy and Invitation of Adela from the City of Peeling
"Ariel...?"
Hanano Ling thought about the words on the invitation, and suddenly El-Melloi II's face turned livid.
"It's Ariel."
Mikael shook his head and repeated it, his tone seemed to be very different.
"Master, what is Ariel?"
Gray asked curiously, and so did everyone else, subconsciously looking in Mikael's direction.
"The seventy-two angels of Kabbalah can be converted into the twelve constellations of the zodiac, and the human body can often be compared to a small complete universe, corresponding to the large outside universe, and the twelve constellations naturally correspond to certain aspects of the human body.
Some parts.”
Mikael said eloquently, and then pointed to Heine's missing left leg.
"And Ariel's protection corresponds to the left leg."
"That is to say..."
Suddenly someone reacted.
"Are these words just reminders? Or are they signs of how we're going to die?"
"No, if we go by the worst interpretation, these words shouldn't even be a reminder, but just a preview of how we will be killed."
El-Melloi II spoke, his face looking increasingly uglier. He was very familiar with Heine. Unlike most magicians, he was a noble knight. He did not expect to die here.
"The body will be sealed for the time being."
Hanano Hisri stood up and suggested calmly.
"I can't conduct too detailed an analysis of the corpse at the moment. I need a certain amount of time."
"elder brother--!"
Rosalind's voice was already hoarse. El-Melloi II couldn't stand it and walked up to the little girl.
"Woooooooo..."
Finally, with her crying, everyone left the scene. After all, staying here would not solve any problems.
But in the following time, it was visible to the naked eye that the protection of each room became much tighter, and Heine's body was transported to Hanano Hisri's room. As the manager of the Legal Affairs Department, this kind of thing was very difficult for her.
It can be said that it is a familiar road.

"Master, who killed Mr. Heine?"
Back in the room, Gray was in a low mood. Although she only had a very short exchange with Heine, there was no doubt that she thought he was a good person.
"Who knows, maybe it's someone who is fighting for the [inheritance]. After all, money touches people's hearts, and it's not incomprehensible to kill other competitors."
Mikael sat on the sofa, picked up some black tea, and showed a mysterious smile.
"Don't you need to continue investigating the scene..."
Gray, who is very familiar with detective novels, naturally also understands the process of such emergencies.
"There is no need for that. It was not the first scene, but it was pulled here after committing crimes elsewhere. Secondly, ordinary detective techniques are not applicable to magicians."
He took a sip of black tea, moistened his throat, and then continued.
"Just like alibi, magicians have many ways to create this illusion, so general crime-solving techniques are meaningless in the mysterious world. The only thing that is useful is the motive for committing the crime."
"Why did he do this, and what benefits would it bring to him... If we check based on this, we should be able to find clues, but we can't rule out the existence of random killings... In short, it is quite troublesome."
Mikael sighed softly, then leaned his body comfortably on the back of the sofa and changed his position.
"And I can guarantee that since the first victim has appeared, the second victim will definitely appear, just like breaking some kind of taboo."
"So... there will be a second victim?"
After hearing Mikael's words, Gray raised his head in surprise.
"Others may have realized this already, so I guess they are ready to fight at any time. I wouldn't be surprised if this castle turns into a battlefield at any time."
"But... someone is obviously dead... shouldn't the murderer be found?"
"The murderer... that kind of thing is meaningless, at least to other magicians. They all have confidence in themselves and think that they can be the final winner. In fact... hmm."
Mikael shook his head and didn't care.
"In the final analysis, it's just a drama. Everyone is an actor on the stage. When the drama ends, everything will return to normal."
Gray's eyes showed great confusion. She knew that Master would occasionally say some very obscure words.
"I really hope I can catch that person..."
she said softly.
"Then it depends on Miss Huanye. After all, isn't this what the Legal Affairs Department is good at?"
As he spoke, he put down the tea cup and looked in the direction of the door.
"A guest has come. Really, after something like this happened, everyone's minds became more active."
………
………
"It's really terrible."
El-Melloi II returned to the room, and after doing the magic protection, he fell on the sofa as if his bones were falling apart.
"call--"
He took a breath.
It was a sigh that felt like his lungs were about to burst out.
After waiting for a while, he took out the cigar from his pocket. He did not handle it too delicately, but simply cut it open roughly, lit it, and took a deep breath.
The magic power in the body became active, and even the spirit became a little more uplifted.
"Oops, teacher, are you talking about Mr. Heine's death?"
Sifen asked curiously. He had no real feelings about Heine's death, but Heine's death also showed that there must be dangers in this [inheritance] inheritance, and this is where he comes in.
"It's not just his death. His death broke a certain [promise]. As expected, other magicians should be ready to fight. This is really bad enough."
He stood up and walked to the wine cabinet while talking.
There is a quite luxurious wine cabinet in the room, which contains a lot of expensive wines, which are provided to guests.
El-Melloi II glanced at it, then picked up a bottle of Scotch whiskey and poured himself a glass.
"Teacher, I also want to have a taste——"
Sven suddenly raised her hand to signal.
"Minors are not allowed to drink!"
El-Melloi II struck Spon on the head with a knife and roared angrily.
"hiss--"
Sfen gasped and covered her head.
"Buck up, there will definitely be victims tonight."
El-Melloi II frowned. He held the glass tightly and looked at his reflection on the glass.
"I don't want the two of us to end up there tomorrow."
"Don't worry, teacher."
Sven regained her energy again and said confidently,
"No matter who comes, I will get rid of him happily."
