The items used by the magician will not have element residues, unless the thing is originally a magic weapon, and once it dies, even the magic elements gathered around their bodies will dissipate in a short time, and it is absolutely impossible to leave two For a long time.Only the priests and believers of the Holy See, and they must have firm beliefs and be extremely devout when praying. Only the light elements on them will remain after death, and even permeate the objects they often touch and use.

Keech speculates that this may be because the so-called magical arts of the Holy See are actually soul magic, but all the light elements they possess come from themselves, and they are not just summoning and using external elements like magic.To put it more bluntly, magic is to gather elements outside the body onto the magician, while divine art is to emit the light elements brewed inside the body.

Therefore, once the magician dies, the control over the elements will immediately dissipate, and the elements will naturally return to their respective positions and disappear from around the magician; after the death of the believers of the Holy See, although the light elements will no longer continue to be generated, the existing ones will still remain. It stays inside them because that's part of their body.

When warriors use battle qi, although it will also lead to the appearance of light elements, Keech has carefully observed Gordon and Tim Qi, and their battle qi can be retracted freely. When released, it will certainly generate light elements, but the retracted At that time, the elements of the light system will also be taken back into the body, and they will not be left on the object like the priest.

Because of this, there are light elements left on the arrow, and this alone is enough to explain its origin—the Holy See.

Amir immediately understood what Kiki meant, but Vilanova was confused and asked in confusion: "Light element? Is this a magic weapon?"

"No, but it's a special weapon for some people." Amir Tikic replied, "What's going on with the communication towers in the three southwestern provinces? Any news?"

"I don't know." Vilanova shrugged, "We didn't start the investigation until after the inauguration ceremony of Your Excellency the President. At least there was no progress until I left the source island. If you want to know the latest situation, go to Asia The contact tower in Xiacheng, where the great magician Zuckerberg is presiding over the overall situation."

"Public?" Amir asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course—no." Vilanova blinked, "Only we know where he is, and now, there are more of you."

"Thank you, Magician Vilanova, you can continue with your mission." Amir bowed slightly towards Vilanova, ready to take Kiki away.

"Wait!" Vilanova stopped them, "Are you leaving now?"

"Otherwise?" Amir asked suspiciously.

"Well, before you leave, can you tell me how you found me?" Vilanova rubbed her hands, and asked a little embarrassedly, "I used an invisible magic weapon!"

"Your Excellency Keech is very sensitive to the elements." Amir smiled slightly, but did not give a real answer.

Originally, Vilanova didn't expect to find out the result, but he was really unwilling to be found out so easily, and he always wanted to save himself a little face.

Amir understood what he was thinking, and continued to mention something paradoxical: "Any magic weapon will cause elemental changes, and in the eyes of a magician with high elemental perception like Chairman Keech, you stand in front of him with an invisible magic weapon." More striking than standing naked in front of him."

After finishing speaking, Amir turned around and led Kiki towards the direction of Asshai City.

The city of Asshai is currently under martial law, and if you want to enter through normal means, you can only show your identity, but right now, Amir doesn't want people to know that he and Kiki have come to Asshai, at least, some people can't know.

So, after leaving the woods, Amir took Kiki off the road leading to Yashai City, turned around the woods, and then went back from the side.

Keech looks at Amir suspiciously, waiting for an explanation for his actions.

"After dark, we will fly into the city again." Amir said quickly, "Now, I want to ask your opinion on the next things."

Kiki became more and more confused, Amir would ask his opinion, did the sun come out from the west this morning?

"Just the arrow you found is not enough to prove that Floyd's death is related to the Holy See. The arrow may not come from the attacker, but belonged to a certain knight on the royal side." Amir continued Said, "If you want to prove it, you need more evidence, and most of these evidences are now in the hands of the emperor."

"What are you trying to say?" Keech asked impatiently.

"We need to find someone to assist us so that we can enter the palace and see the evidence." Amir said lightly, "This person must be close enough to the emperor and not reveal our whereabouts."

"You're not saying..." Kiki's expression suddenly darkened.

"His father, Angel Balotelli, is now Earl Balotelli." Amir corrected, "Of course, in order to better cooperate with this newly promoted Lord Earl, we may need your That young master will act as an intermediary."

"The newly promoted earl?" Kiki noticed Amir's words and couldn't help being stunned.

"Did no one tell you? The original Earl Balotelli, the grandfather of the young master, just passed away a few days ago." Amir said, "His father has inherited the title of earl, and he is also the grandfather of the young master. Promoted to the eldest young master."

"His relatives also... passed away?" Kiqi asked in a daze.

"You don't have to worry about him, my dear Kiki, he won't be sad like Tina, on the contrary, it's more likely to be happy." Amir said mockingly.

Keech glanced at Amir disapprovingly, but had to admit that he might be right.Kiki had personally seen Count Balotelli himself, and he was really not a kind old man who would make younger generations admire him.When Hill mentioned this grandfather, he never used a tone of admiration or respect.

"How about it, my dear, if we need to meet your young master and his father, can you make sure we get along with him?" Seeing that Kiki remained silent, Amir raised his eyebrows and asked.

"...Don't worry." Kiki paused before replying in a low voice, "I won't kill him."

That night, after it was completely dark, Amir and Kiki put on dark clothes and flew over the city of Asshai.

Amir searched for the Balotelli family's mansion in the dark, but Keech quickly began to lose his mind.

— Lizzy is also living in this city now.

Keech thought this way, but couldn't remember where Moriarty's mansion was built, and gave birth to the guess whether Likki had already lived with Hill.

"Kiki?" Amir quickly found where Balotelli's house was, and was about to land, but found that Kiki didn't keep up, so he couldn't help asking.

"Oh!" Kiki came back to his senses, turned around and followed behind Amir.

Under the cover of darkness, the two landed in the courtyard behind the Balotelli mansion.Amir originally wanted to go directly to Hill or Angel's room to find them, but Keech didn't remember the way at all even though he lived here.Fortunately, the luck of the two was not bad. When they were wondering whether to arrest someone to ask for directions, Lucy appeared on the gravel road in the courtyard. She was carrying a tray with desserts and teapots, and seemed to be about to send it to someone.

Keech remembered that she was Hill's personal maid, although she was not trusted by Hill, she was his father's loyal servant.

"She's Hill's maid." Keech pointed to Lucy.

"reliable?"

"perhaps."

"Then stop her." Amir made a decisive decision, and walked towards Lucy with Kiki.

Seeing two men in unfamiliar clothes standing up and blocking her way, Lucy was naturally startled, and just about to open her mouth to yell, Amir grabbed her neck and covered her mouth , and the tray she wanted to drop to the ground was also supported by Kiki with the wind element, and it failed to make the slightest sound.

But at this time, Lucy also saw Kiki's true face clearly through the moonlight, and her surprise suddenly turned into shock.

"We have very important matters, and we need to see your Master Hill." Amir whispered close to Lucy's ear, "Obviously, you recognize the magician standing opposite you at this moment, then, You should also understand that we didn't come here with malicious intent."

Lucy nodded vigorously, and Amir let go, giving her a chance to speak.

"Master Hill is in his study." Lucy took a deep breath, trying to calm down the previous panic, "Please follow me."

After speaking, Lucy took the tray and continued to walk towards the back house.

Amir and Kiki immediately followed.

Hill was sitting in the study in a daze when he heard the knock on the door.

This morning, the news that West County had been captured by the rebels reached the imperial capital, and the entire military and political hall suddenly became tense. The Royal Knights had also been transferred from the camp outside the city to the city of Asshai, and the garrison guarded it all night. , ready to deal with the arrival of the rebels at any time.

Most of the people in the Military and Political Department stayed at the palace. Hill was allowed to leave because of his special status and he couldn't really help him. His father, Angel, had been staying in the palace for the past few days. Did not go home.

"Come in." Hill said to the door without looking back.

The door opened, and Lucy came in with a tray of refreshments.

Hill was about to say that he had no appetite, so he asked Lucy to take the things away, and turned his head, only to find that there were two men behind Lucy. familiar.

Hilton froze for a moment, "Ki..."

"Meet you again, Master Balotelli." Amir spoke first, "I hope our visit won't make you feel too presumptuous."

"How could it be!" Hill stood up quickly, asked Amir and Kiki to sit down on the sofa next to him, and sent Lucy out of the room, implying that she should not reveal the arrival of the two magicians to anyone other than her father. Turning around, he was about to continue entertaining the two unexpected guests, but his eyes fell on Kiki involuntarily, recalling the last lingering time more than a month ago.

Keech didn't notice Hill's gaze, and he lowered his eyes after entering the door, trying not to pay attention to Hill, but his ears couldn't help but hear his voice, even in this chaotic moment, it was the same as always Soft and peaceful.

"Congratulations on becoming the new president of the Magic Association, Your Excellency the Great Magician Kiki." Hill restrained his strong desire to reach out and touch Kiki, pretending to greet him calmly, "Of course, I also want to congratulate you Pass the Great Mage Examination."

——Can you already talk to me like a stranger?

Keech couldn't help raising his head, glanced at Hill, and then lowered his eyelids again without answering.

Hill was about to say something more, but Amir coughed lightly, bringing him back to his thoughts, "Let's get straight to the point, I believe you can also see that we are here for a purpose."

"Of course, if there is anything I can help, please feel free to ask." Hill promised, but his eyes still secretly glanced at Kiki, and soon noticed that there was a huge ring on his left finger, But on his right wrist he still wears the obsidian bracelet he gave him.

"Actually, I hope to get the help of your father, Count Angel Balotelli." Amir ignored Hill's obviously deflected gaze, and they hoped to use Angel's convenience to check the corpse and the scene. The idea of ​​residue speaks out.

"Some of the remains of magicians have been taken away by His Excellency Summerhaile from the Magic Association." Hill immediately replied, the social habit of nobles is to see all directions and listen to all directions, and will never ignore a person just because they pay attention Without the existence of another person, "Only His Excellency Freud and several magicians from the Lucifer family were forcibly retained by His Majesty in the name of their family."

Hearing this sentence, Amir's heart skipped a beat, and he asked off topic: "How many people died in Lucifer's family this time?"

--again?

Hill was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Amir used this word as if he was emphasizing it, but he hurriedly replied: "There are four magicians, including one intermediate magician, three junior magicians, and several non-magic ones. Members of the division's family."

Amir listened blankly, without answering.Kiki next to him showed surprise on his face, remembering the guess that Amir once told him, if the members of the Lucifer family continue to die like this, then Lizzy might really want to inherit Mo Everything about Riati has become the Marquis of Lucifer's family!

"Is there something wrong?" Hill noticed Keech's expression and asked them tentatively.

"I just thought of some irrelevant things." Amir said lightly, "By the way, you said just now that it was Samohel who took the bodies of other magicians away?"

"At least the magician claimed that he was sent by His Excellency Summerhaile." Hill nodded.

"Interesting." Amir raised the corner of his mouth meaningfully, but immediately changed his voice and asked, "When can we see the Earl?"

"I'm sorry, father is not at home right now, and I don't even know when I will see him." Hill shrugged apologetically, "However, if you two want to see the body, I can arrange it for you right away. "

Amir couldn't help but looked at Hill suspiciously.

"There are a lot of people in the palace, so after the Magic Association took away some of the remains, my father transferred the rest to us." Hill stood up while explaining, "You two, please follow me .”
