Mikael pondered for a moment, and soon found the information he wanted from his memory.
The Sbold family is also an ancient magician family that has been passed down for ten generations. Its origins can be traced back to the end of the Gods era where King Solomon lived. After the Gods era was cut off, the original head of the Sbold family moved the family to Britain and participated in
The clock tower was built, but he did not choose to stay, otherwise he would have become one of the monarchy families.
Although they live in seclusion, no one would doubt the power of the Sbold family, and the [Awakening Ceremony] is their annual large-scale magic ceremony. The specific function is unknown. It is said to be related to the first-generation family head who retreated to study the roots.
As one of the few great magic rituals of the Gods on the surface, the activation conditions have become more and more stringent in the modern era where the mystery has faded. Therefore, powerful magicians are required to assist, usually by the heads of major magician families. After completing
After the ceremony, you will receive generous rewards.
Some are magic research from the Age of Gods, some are magic spells that have become extinct on the surface of the earth, and some are powerful magic rituals... Such gifts have continued from the beginning of the establishment of the Clock Tower to the present, which shows the rich heritage of the Spold family.
To be precise, this kind of wealth cannot be described as rich. If one day Animusfia is short of money, Mikael will seriously consider robbing the Spold family.
………
"If I remember correctly, the awakening ceremony should have ended not long ago. Is there any accident?"
He picked up the snacks on the plate and gently put them into his mouth, feeling the milky aroma that melted in his mouth. He had to say that Ai Ge's skills were getting better and better.
"That's right."
Lord Balueretta gave Mikael a deep look, and then continued, "The magician invited by the Spold family for this year's awakening ceremony is Lord Meastia of the Archeology Department."
"Then twelve hours ago, I received a request for help from Lord Meastia, and then he lost track, along with the entire Spold family."
"By the time our people arrived, the territory near the Sbold family castle had been transformed into a foreign world, and there was no news about the people sent in. This is the situation now."
………
The leader of the neutral faction is missing, and the last person to ask for help is actually the leader of the democratic faction. If there is no trick in this, even if he kills Mikael, he will not believe it.
After all, archeology can be said to be the most miserable subject in the Clock Tower. Of course, modern magic is excluded. It is quite short of strength and funds, and it rarely participates in the political struggles of the Clock Tower. Although it is the leader of a neutral faction, it seems
It looks more like a mascot.
But these are not important. What makes Mikael curious is what happened during the awakening ceremony to turn the entire Sbold family into an alien world.
However, although I was very curious in my heart, my face still had that polite and distant smile and formulaic words.
"Really? I didn't expect that such an appalling thing would happen to the Sbold family. It seems that the Legal Affairs Department is very busy."
Hearing Mikael's words, Lord Balueretta frowned slightly, but he soon relaxed.
"Actually, I came here this time to invite Mr. Michael to go to the Sbold family to find out what happened in the awakening ceremony. It is also an invitation from the neutral faction. After all, the disappearance of the monarch is not a small matter."
"I need to think about it. There are a lot of things I need to deal with recently."
Mikael pointed to the pile of documents on his desk, then shrugged, showing a helpless expression.
"Pity."
After learning Mikael's answer, Lord Balueretta sighed softly, and then continued, "But if Mikael changes his mind, you can contact me. This time the reward offered by the neutral faction is very high.
It’s so rich that even I’m a little excited.”
"I'm also very sorry. If it weren't because there are too many things to do, I don't think I would refuse you. You know, Animusfia's population is small, and it is difficult to deal with many things.
It’s a stretch.”
Mikael also sighed, spread his hands, and said sincerely, "But I think we should have more opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"Of course I think so too."
Monarch Barueretta put on a fashionable bowler hat of the same color as the dress, then stood up and
"Then I won't bother you anymore, Michael. I'm really sorry for taking up your time for so long."
"How could it be so? There is an old saying in the East: "A thousand pieces of gold cannot buy an inch of time", and every inch of wonderful time spent with you is far beyond the priceless magic knowledge.
"Hahaha, Sir Michael is really good at joking, but I still welcome you back to the Clock Tower. If you have time, let's meet up another day."
Monarch Balueretta opened the door, then waved her hand, and as the office door closed, her figure disappeared.
"Mikael-kun, I don't like this person."
Sajo Aige angrily looked towards the direction where Lord Valueretta left. She could see that the man was always thinking about how to plot against Mikael. This made Sajo Aige feel extremely annoyed.
, I really want to get rid of her on the spot.
"I hate her too."
Mikael closed the document casually, threw it aside, and said lazily.
Although the pile of documents seems to be a lot, they are all processed by autonomous dolls. Only important documents need to be reviewed personally. What I said just now is completely deceiving the Lord Balueretta.
The old woman also saw it, and if she saw through it without telling her, everyone could still have fun together.
"But for the time being, she still has some use. At least until this scene comes to an end, Monarch Barueretta is still an important supporting role. Without her, this scene may be less exciting."
"As for what she is planning in her heart..."
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's easy to guess that kind of thing even without using magic. The leader of the neutral faction disappeared. Instead of looking for the Legal Affairs Department, he found the monarch Balueretta, and then she found someone who was...
I belong to the aristocratic faction."
"If I agree, it will deepen the rift between the noble factions. After all, the noble factions were originally in harmony with each other. This is the result of the close relationship between Lord Uliphis and Lord El-Melloi. After all, Bartholomew doesn't like me.
The twentieth ancestor of the Dead Apostles."
"If I had not agreed, nothing would have happened, but the fact that Lord Barueretta visited me would have guided the public opinion of the Clock Tower, especially among Lord Measti in the archaeological field.
After the news of Ya's disappearance spreads, it will still deepen the gaps between the noble factions."
"Wouldn't this be a big disadvantage for Mr. Mikael?"
Shajo Aige bit her lower lip. She didn't want to see Mikael hurt, even if it was just in words or thoughts.
"Blessings come with misfortunes, and misfortunes come with blessings. At least now I know about the problem with the Sbold family's awakening ceremony."
Mikael looked out the window at the distant starry sky. His gaze penetrated the night to the distant stars. The light of the eternal stars was reflected in his eyes, dispelling the haze shrouded in time.
"Maybe there will be unexpected gains, I don't know."
