Anti-theft chapter

----------

Inspector Safno Mattia jumped up from the soft chair as if he had been greatly insulted, "It's not baldness!" He said, waving his arms, "It's just heredity."

"Of course, of course, you can say whatever you want, anyway, it can't change the fact that you have thin hair on top of your head." Verlon said with a smile.

Then Detective Safno Mattia came over again with a flattering smile, "But I have a friend, my friend, not me. If you have this problem, can you..."

"Only ten pounds, my friend." Verlon tapped his pipe on the cork cushion of the ashtray, "My alchemy can solve this problem, and I will solve it for your friend."

"That would be great." Inspector Saforno Mattia sat down with a smile, "Why don't we drink some Genting whiskey and have a good cigar, and then you tell me about magic, We can have a nice afternoon."

"I'm very happy." Veron nodded. He watched Inspector Safno Mattia get up and pour the wine. After taking the glass, Verlon took a small sip and continued: "I mentioned it before. , magic originated from King Solomon."

"But it's not just the Anglican Church, the Roman Church also has witch hunting activities?" Detective Saforno Mattia raised a question, and Verlon sneered a few times.

"My good sir, the church itself is using magic, how can they accuse others of being wizards?" Verlon said with disdain on his face, "Of course, they claim to use magic, a gift from God. And witch hunting The operation is actually an operation to arrest the cultists. However, the problem is that many wizards were indeed threatened with their lives during the process. Of course, I can’t say that those wizards are all innocent and good people, but look at the church’s witch hunt The tragedy caused by the action shows how vicious they are. Then the church itself split, whether it was three fingers or two fingers during the mass, whether it was knocking the big head or the small head first when eating eggs, the church was split , because of their own lust for power."

"That's a bunch of bastards." Verlon took a sip of his wine and grinned, "Sir, do you think that Henry VIII established the Anglican Church just to change a queen?"

"My God!" Inspector Safono Mattia put down his glass and covered his ears, "Slandering the royal family is a serious crime!"

"It's all about the Tudor dynasty, my good Inspector, I feel sorry for your history teacher." Verlon smiled and cut the cigar, "Helping Uther Pendragon give birth to Arthur in Merlin After Pendragon, he began to try to interfere in court politics, but the result was that the Celts were defeated by the Anglo-Saxons, and the druid belief disappeared. The next royal family believed in the church rather than wizards, of course , The royal family still has the practice of hiring wizards, and those positions such as medical officers may be wizards."

"God." Detective Inspector Safono Mattia made a cross on his chest and drank the spirits in the glass, "There is such a thing, maybe it was the last time I went to Buckingham Palace There's a wizard staring at me."

"Don't worry, good detective." Veron smiled and poured another glass of wine for Safno, "You are not worth a wizard's shot, both incense and potions are very expensive."

"Your words hurt people." Although he said so, Inspector Safno Mattia still showed a smile on his face. After all, not everyone wants to be spied on by wizards. As for why the Inspector is not afraid of Will Long, it is entirely because Veron is not an expert in the prophecy department, otherwise he would not have to ask Professor Aurora Noctis for help.

"And learning magic is very difficult, good detective." Verlon exhaled the good-smelling cigar smoke, the mellow fragrance made the living room more warm, "Ten particles, three pillars, 22 paths, as well as astrology and alchemy It can be said that everyone’s learning direction is different. Every wizard starts from [Kingdom (Malkuth, Kingdom)], and then everyone chooses different particles and learns different paths. For example, the tenth The path from the particle to the ninth particle, the path 32 (Tau), is to learn the knowledge about Saturn in astrology, and then the ninth particle is [Yesod, Foundation], which is the aura in the soul and body, symbolizing staring at the moon, because I have to learn about the moon in astrology."

"Then...what have you learned?" Detective Safno Mattia asked hesitantly.

"Good detective, fortunately you didn't ask anyone casually." Verron said, "This kind of thing is generally not allowed to be told to others. But I can still say that I am learning the eighth Sephiroth [Glory (Hod, Splendor)] And Path 31 (Shin), you just need to understand that I can use the power of fire."

As Verlon stretched out his palm, a ball of orange flame danced in his palm. Verlon also shaped the flame into the shape of a flying bird, with its delicate feathers exposed. Inspector Saffono Mattia almost thought it was a living bird. creature.

"Don't move, my good knight. I also learned the seventh particle [Victory (Netsah, Victory)], path 27 (Peh), this flame will explode." Inspector Safno Mattia hurriedly Withdrawing his hand, Verron extinguished the flame in his hand, then picked up the cigar and continued to taste it.

"It's amazing." Sir Safono Mattia wiped the sweat from his forehead. The high temperature of the fire spell made him sweat in this humid and cold weather.

"Of course, compared to the nagging prophecy department, the necromancy department of the medical school, and the elusive conjuration system, these big fireworks that can explode are more like magic. But this magic may only be able to break a steam Powered armor.”

"That's the king's imperial army." The detective shook his head, "I've seen steam-powered armor. Pistol bullets can't penetrate those iron plates, and it's very complicated to wear."

"Ha, that only works if the opponent is not prepared." Verlon shook his head, "otherwise why would we need to apply for the support of the Forbidden Army for our next actions."

"Are you talking about the cases of those cultists? Didn't Professor Aurora Noctis agree to support? Why do you want to apply for support again?" Sir Safno Mattia felt something was wrong.

Verron also looked at the detective with a look at the corpse, "My good detective, drink the wine first." Verron watched the pale inspector drink up the whiskey in the glass before speaking. Said, "There are vampires causing trouble, and we found their lair, which is the demon party."

Snap - The glass in Inspector Safono Mattia's hand smashed to pieces on the carpet, and he simply fainted.

Aurora Noctis was never human.

But to say why she, or he, has human intelligence, we have to examine the heart of Aurora Noctis.The light emitted from that crimson stone is like a heartbeat. It is the philosopher's stone, the stone from heaven, the philosopher's stone, the red potion, the fifth element, the great miracle, and the Holy Grail of alchemy.This fascinating stone is the source of Aurora Noctis's body.

This complex mechanical body is far beyond the level of human technology today. Whether it is the silver gear engraved with Shaddai El Chai or the copper gear inlaid with emerald engraved Adona Tzabaoth, it shows that Aurora Noctis has no gender distinction intellectually. point.Aurora Noctis's full name is Aurora Homunculus Paracelsus Noctis. As for how she was born and why she teaches at University College London, that is Another story for another time.

Pour out the black tea from the metal stomach, add a few drops of lubricant to the gears that are turning all the time, and then change the color inserts for your detachable nails. This is Aurora Noctis' afternoon tea time. Inspector Safono Mattia, who arrived earlier, only delayed this time.

It now seemed that Inspector Safono Mattia had not only delayed tea time, but had also caused a problem.Although the death of her own student did not cause Aurora Noctis to have too many emotional fluctuations, the college still requested assistance in the investigation. After all, the death of a student is a big deal for a school. Although the death was not in school, Considering the special courses of the academy, maybe those cultists are eyeing the magic-rich flesh and blood of wizards.

The familiar that Aurora Noctis went to inform the principal came back with some unfortunate news.Since Aurora Noctis not only possesses [Path 28] but also possesses the ability of illusion, and is also quite proficient in [Path 13], prophecy spells are not particularly difficult for her.Although Aurora Noctis wanted to argue that these were the abilities that originally constituted her body, it was related to her contract with the dean, so she had no choice but to help with this investigation.

Departing from the academy, Aurora Noctis boarded a carriage.Ladies would not walk in the city of London. After all, their wide skirts would easily get stained by the mud on the streets. Taxiing carriages became the only choice for many upper-class people to travel.When the carriage left the entrance of the college and turned left, there was a newly opened museum called the Petrie Egyptian Archaeological Museum. That was where Aurora spent her time, but now was not the time.

It's still rainy in London. Although Aurora held an umbrella when she left the teacher's apartment, it was inevitable that raindrops would get on her long skirt.But she doesn't care about it, or maybe she doesn't care about her clothes. Aurora's need for clothes is limited to imitating and imitating human behavior.Through the glass window on the carriage, she could hear the sound of raindrops hitting each other, and the olfactory module also allowed her to smell the fresh aroma after the rain turned over the soil, but this meant nothing to her, even though she had originally crossed over. Special individuals in the [Creation Realm], [Formation Realm] and [Material Realm], she has experienced such scenes countless times.Aurora still remembers what her "father," or creator, said to her.

"You are the 'Crown', one. At the same time, you are also the 'Kingdom', a collection of the four elements. But you are not all yet. You have to choose your own path of the fire sword, and eventually become 'knowledge'. Become 'wisdom', Become Da'at."

This is also the reason why Aurora Noctis entered human society.Born from a flask, she needs to be backward compatible with each particle, and finally learn the ultimate knowledge that combines 10 particles.This is the route set for her by her Creator. Aurora does not want to object. Although she still cannot understand the use of her wandering among the crowd like a ghost, but the Creator said that intelligence will grow in this way, so Aurora will abide by it. , nothing more.

The college was very far away from the destination, and it would take more than an hour to reach Oak Lane by carriage. However, Aurora calculated the time and it was enough to reach the destination within the agreed time.The carriage passes by the British Museum, passes through Bedford Square Gardens, turns left at the crossroads between Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue, and then you can reach the other side via the bridge across the Thames River, and go straight south. Passing an American restaurant, you can reach Oak Lane and the London Hydro Company hidden in a residential area.

When Aurora knocked on the wooden door with "London Water Resources Company" hanging on it, she heard a noise from the room.It was the sound of furniture banging, mixed with shouts.

[Logical judgment module starts. 】

[Crash, panicked shouting - enemy attack] Aurora put her palms on the thick door panel, and the slight vibration caused by the sound was transmitted to her palms through the wooden door.

[The target person's life is in danger - the rescue plan is launched] Aurora took a step back, but a phantom exactly like her was left in place.

[Melee combat module activated] She lifted up her fluffy skirt like a lady, as if she was about to curtsy, but no etiquette teacher would think that curtsy requires pulling the skirt above the knees.Then Aurora turned around neatly, and the heel made of unknown metal hit the door panel like a battering ram. The thick wooden door was directly detached from the hinges and fell into the room. The phantom that was originally staying at the door rushed towards Got in.

When Aurora finally walked into the room, she saw only two stunned men.

"Professor Aurora Noctis!" Detective Safno Mattia, who had met Aurora before, called out, "Why are you here?"

"Assist in the investigation." Aurora's expression did not change. "Where is the enemy?"

"Enemies?" Verlon shouted in panic, "Where are the enemies! Are they French? Or Germans?"

"I heard shouting before entering the room." The professor of the illusion department scanned the entire room, and finally she had to admit that her judgment was wrong. "The conditions for logical judgment were insufficient, and the rescue operation was too hasty."

"Really? What about our door panels?"

Oligouros, the immediate superior of Inspector Verlon and Safno Mattia, walked out of the room, "The funds to assist in this investigation will all be paid by Scotland Yard." This man had black and white hair and a beard. , like that kind of middle-aged and elderly man who is not easy to approach, his clothes are as meticulous as his hair, "I invited Professor Aurora Noctis to come over today to assist in the investigation, and Professor Noctis is also one A master of prophecy and magic—and also a master of kicking doors."
