Chapter 1665

Anti-theft chapter

——————————

“Dear Aunt Salina:

Words are like words, and may your lumbar spine be as strong as the old wicker chair in the garden.

I am still like a child celebrating my birthday, looking forward to receiving your letters. Whether it is sister Nayali’s complaints about the newly bought green woolen coat or your dislike of the noisy neighbors, it makes me breathless on this day. Where to find a bit of life.

Although I once swore to the king's statue to dedicate my life to humanity, this academy still made me regret it more than once. I know this is inappropriate, but I can't tell you too much about what's going on in the academy. After all, every letter will be reviewed to ensure that no state secrets are revealed.

I can only complain to you about some ordinary trivial things. Maybe these things are ordinary to me and my classmates, but they are interesting enough to outsiders, and they are enough to become a topic of conversation during your afternoon tea time.

After graduating from college, I signed up to join the Inquisition with honors as a way to be loyal to the king and to seek a good life for us. But you also know that there are always some weird things happening in our lives. Here I have to admit to you that magic does exist, and what I studied in the academy is magic.

I have mentioned to you the etiquette teacher Mr. Barres before. He will teach us how to become upper class people, which is indeed the case. However, the main course taught by Mr. Barres is illusion magic. Forgive me for deceiving you at the time. The reason why I can tell you this is entirely because the King agreed to let relevant members outside the academy know about it next Wednesday. After all, cases have been happening frequently recently and the academy wants to make our family members more vigilant.

What I am about to tell you is something that recently happened to Mr. Barres, and perhaps you have heard something about it in town. I may have once described to you Mr. Barres' appearance. He has blue eyes, fair, well-kept skin, neatly trimmed black beard, and clean fingers. Sometimes he also Will wear a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with a chain. Mr. Barres was undoubtedly a decent gentleman, both in appearance and manner.

However, after this incident, we learned that Mr. Barres turned out to be the lover of Countess Anyalita - this kind of thing is very common in upper class society. Marriage between nobles is not based on emotion as a bond. Many nobles get married. They have not seen each other since then, and it is common for both husband and wife to have one or even several lovers. As a decent gentleman and a teacher with an annual salary of 2,000 pounds, Mr. Barres is a member of the upper class. The fact that he became the lover of Countess Anyalita did not surprise me and my classmates.

What really surprises us is what happens when Countess Anyalita takes Mr. Barres to the bank to withdraw money. I don’t know why I went to withdraw the money. I only know that Mr. Barres’ expenses were much higher during that time.

I have informed you of the existence of magic at the beginning of this letter (if you haven't seen it, you can ask Sister Nayali to get you reading glasses). Magic is not a big secret among the upper class. Banks generally have anti-magic fields set up, where magic items and persistent spells will be temporarily suppressed. However, the maintenance cost of the anti-magic field is extremely high, so the anti-magic field is usually closed, and this maintenance fee will be used as a subsidy to the president. This is already a common practice in the bank.

But on that day, the bank's superior department requested an inspection, so the anti-magic field was turned on again, but no one was notified. So now we also know that Mr. Barres has been using clever illusions to hide his true face, and Countess Anyalita was shocked when she saw his face.

Amid the countess's screams, Mr. Barres deftly evaded his captors and ran out of the anti-magic field. And Countess Anyalita once studied in this academy. She graduated as an outstanding graduate of the Department of Plasticity, which is the kind of fire and lightning and banging thing you imagine.

So Countess Anyalita chased him out, using fire, lightning, and ice to chase Mr. Barres until he was chased out of the city. This is also something you may have learned, the witnesses were said to have been brainwashed by law enforcement, the King Louis Daily News claimed it was a gas pipe explosion, and the truth is what I said. So far, no one has heard from Mr. Barres and no one has seen him.

If Mr. Barres has been using illusions to cover his face, then who is our illusion professor all this time? But soon I no longer worried about it, because a new illusion professor took Mr. Barres' place.

The new professor has beautiful and elegant long golden hair. Aunt Salina, I will not deny that I was fascinated when I first saw the new professor. Because this is a beauty that is beyond the reach of human beings. Whether it is the delicate fair face, the long dress with golden piping, the long white lace gloves, or even the black and white butterfly hairpins in the ears, they are all so fascinating. . But I shuddered when I thought of Mr. Barres, because no one could be sure that Professor Aurora Noctis was not using illusions to hide her face.

Professor Aurora Noctis never shows any expression. She hides any emotion deeper than anything else, and she doesn’t follow the classroom order very well. We can often see her quickly finishing the lesson plan, Just sit on the podium and drink black tea, the kind without sugar.

But we also discovered that Professor Aurora has a wealth of alchemical knowledge. When my classmate Juan Britta secretly did his alchemy homework in the illusion class, Professor Aurora discovered it. She casually pointed out several errors in Juan's alchemy paper, and by the way, doubled his illusion paper (to a full 20 inches in length). But after that, students would ask Professor Aurora if they had any questions about the alchemy course. After all, Professor Aurora would only give answers, instead of scolding Professor Lietta like Alchemy Professor. .

Almost everyone likes Professor Aurora Noctis, and so do I.

Another kiss on your cheek, and sister Nayali.

Your nephew, Andolio. "

"Is this the last letter Andorio wrote?" asked the blond beauty sitting behind the heavy solid wood desk. The office had thick woolen curtains that completely blocked out the sunlight. The law enforcement officer sitting far away on the soft chair in the reception room nodded. He felt a little uncomfortable with the hard collar around his neck, but what made him even more uncomfortable was the atmosphere in the office.

"Yes, Professor Aurora Noctis."

"There is nothing wrong with this letter, but what about Andorio's family?"

"We received a report yesterday evening, and it has been determined that all of them were killed. It is initially speculated that it was committed by believers of the Andean god system. We found scratches on the tongues of the corpses, all the hearts were missing, and the dissection technique was clean and neat." The detective wiped it with his hand. There was cold sweat on his forehead, and even though he was wearing a thick windbreaker, he still felt that the office was very cold, as if it was not a place for living people, and the too dark environment made it difficult for him to see Aurora's expression clearly. "A lot of newbies vomited, but luckily the scene was not damaged."

"Okay, you can take this letter away, and I will arrange for a prophecy department teacher to inspect the scene."

"Thank you very much for your help." The detective took the envelope from the desk, put the top hat back on his head, and left the room obediently, closing the door gently.

There is a cut diamond on Aurora Noctis's desk. This diamond can shine brightly even in dim environments. If someone has sharp eyes, they can see a line of words, Eheieh, faintly engraved on the diamond. The blond beauty did not make any move, and the diamond began to deform, extending the wings of a butterfly, and then dyed the diamond black like ink dripping into clear water, and turned into a hairpin similar to Aurora Noctis. Identical looking butterflies. The butterfly flew around the office and got in through the cracks in the ventilation duct.

Aurora Noctis stood up from the chair. She untied the laces at the back of her long skirt and took off her gloves, revealing her fair and graceful body. The only regrets were on her elbows and knuckles. The gaps that do not belong to the human body can be clearly seen in the parts. Then a piece of skin popped up from every part of Aurora's body. Her charming breasts and flat abdomen opened to both sides along the midline, revealing the internal structure of the body - those were non-human internal organs, which were made of copper gears and silver. The body is composed of gears. The bronze gear is engraved with Adona Tzabaoth, the silver gear is engraved with Shaddai El Chai, the stomach is a metal jar, and in the heart is a stone that emits a crimson light.

Aurora Noctis was never human.

Inspector Safono 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 hereditary."

"Of course, of course, you can say whatever you want, but it won't change the fact that you have those sparse hair on 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 trouble in this area, can you please..."

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

"That would be perfect." Detective Safno Mattia sat down with a smile, "How about we drink some Genting whiskey and a good cigar, and then you tell me about magic. We could have a nice afternoon.”

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

"But not only the Anglican Church, the Roman Church also has witch hunting activities?" Detective Saffono Mattia asked, and Verron 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 be using magic, which is a gift from God. And witch hunting The operation is actually an operation to capture cultists. However, the problem is that many wizards did receive life threats in the process. Of course, I cannot say that those wizards are all innocent and good people, but look at the church's witch hunt. The tragedy caused during the operation shows how vicious they are. Then the church itself was divided. Whether it was holding up three fingers or two fingers during mass, whether it was knocking the big head or the small head first when eating eggs, the church was divided. , because of their own desire for power.”

"Those are a bunch of filthy idiots." Verlon took a sip of wine and grinned, "Sir, do you think Henry VIII only established the Anglican Church to replace a queen?"

"Oh my God!" Detective Safno Mattia put down his wine glass and covered his ears. "Slandering the royal family is a serious crime!"

"This is all about the Tudor Dynasty, my good detective, I feel sorry for your history teacher." Verron smiled and cut his cigar, "He helped Uther Pendragon give birth to Arthur in Merlin. After Pendragon, he began to try to intervene in palace politics. However, the result was that the Celts were defeated by the Anglo-Saxons, and the Druid faith disappeared. The subsequent royal families believed in the church rather than the wizards, of course. , the royal family still has the practice of hiring wizards, and those who hold positions such as medical officers may be wizards."

"Oh my God." Detective Safno Mattia crossed himself on his chest and drank all the strong wine in the glass. "There is still such a thing. Maybe it happened last time I went to Buckingham Palace. There are wizards watching me."

"Relax, good detective." Verlon smiled and poured another glass of wine for Saffono. "You are not worthy of the wizard. Both incense and potions are very expensive."

"What you said is really hurtful." Although he said this, Detective Safno Mattia still had a smile on his face. After all, not everyone wants to have their lives spied on by wizards. As for why the detective is not afraid of Will Long, entirely because Verlon 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." Verron exhaled the pleasant smell of cigar smoke, and the mellow fragrance made the living room more warm. "Ten Sephiroth, three pillars, twenty-two paths, and astrology And alchemy. It can be said that everyone’s learning direction is different. Every wizard starts learning from the [Kingdom (Malkuth, Kingdom)]. After that, everyone chooses different material points and learns different paths. For example The path from the tenth material point to the ninth material point, path 32 (Tau), requires learning about Saturn in astrology. Then the ninth material point is [Yesod (Foundation)], which is the aura in the soul and body. , symbolizes the moon, because we also need to learn about the moon in astrology.”

"Then what did you learn?" Detective Safno Mattia asked hesitantly.
