Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Chapter 333 Murderer

"It's just as the teacher said... After destroying the structure of this thing, let the magic power in the underground go out of control, and then use the reversal technique to open the barrier... Got it!"

Flatt waved in the air for a while, and then the surrounding environment gradually recovered, and a passage that had not been there before appeared in front of the two people.

"Is this... the lair of that monster?"

"Well, let's go!"

Da da da...

The two of them walked deeper into the cave cautiously. Gray held a sickle in her hand and looked at the scene around her.

"This should be a magician's workshop, right?"

"The monster just now must have escaped from here. It was probably preparing to hand the bait to the owner..."

"Bait?"

"Well, although I don't really understand it, I guess it's not a good thing."

"...Humph! You are so bold to say that..."

"How dare you, the little devil who caused me trouble, come here?"

A deep voice sounded, and an old man suddenly walked out in front of him, holding a cane. Every time he tapped it, a flash of lightning would flash around him...

"Oh! Hello, excuse me! Actually, I just knocked on the door. Didn't you hear it?"

"..."

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, but still said in a sinister tone:

"You broke into my workshop so rudely. Do you think this is called knocking? Where did this wild boy come from..."

"Yes! We are the disciples of King El-Melloi II, Flat and Gray!

"Lord El-Melloi II? So he's the disciple of that upstart?"

After hearing Flat's self-introduction, the other party sneered with disdain. It was obvious that he thought this monarch was not worthy of his attention.

"Please don't say that."

"Ok?"

Flatt retorted loudly with a serious expression:

"Our teacher is not just an ordinary upstart, but the first upstart of the Clock Tower who has risen from an ordinary magic teacher to a monarch!"

"..."

Now it was the old man's turn to be speechless. Even though he had only been in contact with the person for a few tens of seconds, he was already certain that the golden-haired kid was an absolute fool.

It would be meaningless to continue talking like this.

"You two are the only ones who want to destroy my masterpiece?"

"Your magic has caused the deaths of too many innocent people..."

This time it was Gray's turn to speak. She was always gentle and would not just sit there and do nothing even if she saw someone sacrificed. But to the other party, this sentence was indeed more ridiculous than the previous one.

"Innocent? Hehehe... It's just thousands of lives. What's so strange about using them as bait to reach the root?"

"No need to waste any more time, little brats. Your teacher won't be there to help you this time..."

"Boom!"

The old man knocked the ground with the wooden stick in his hand, and then pairs of red lights suddenly emerged from the space on the surrounding stone pillars. Then dozens of guys that looked exactly like the monster just now jumped down and surrounded the two of them in the blink of an eye.

"I will tear you apart, rip your internal organs apart, and then expose all the crimes of that so-called monarch to the public... Modern magic is just a bunch of tricks to deceive people!"

The old man's tone became visibly excited when he talked about Weber. He had a disdainful expression just now, but when he mentioned the other party's monarchy, he immediately became angry.

It goes without saying that when a nouveau riche rises, there will always be people who feel particularly jealous...

The two looked at the group of thunder beasts around them, and for a moment they were at a loss as to what to do. However, even so, they did not show any sign of weakness...

"boom!"

Just when Flatt was about to lie behind and let Grey run first, the ceiling above his head suddenly exploded, and falling rocks crushed all the monsters underneath.

"Who! Who is it!"

“…Shh! It hurts! Sven, can you be a little gentler?”

"Sorry... The teacher told me to come as quickly as possible..."

"Really? Never mind."

The smoke dispersed, and an orc with a blue glow all over his body appeared on the stage holding Weber.

"Are you Lord El-Melloi II?"

"Exactly."

"...So you are here to make amends for the mistakes made by your own disciples?"

"Don't be ridiculous! I'm here to rebuke you for your sins...and to bring back my students."

"Huh, sin? How do you know I have committed a sin?"

The old man looked calm and didn't show any panic because of Weber's arrival. After all, if he only killed a few people, it wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules of the Clock Tower.

Magic... is the best pass, and it doesn't matter if some research violates normal social rules.

However, Waver had anticipated this. Seeing that the other party did not seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, he simply made his point clear:

"Your magic is made up of lightning and furry things...which means this is Jupiter's domain."

"!"

"How do you know!"

"...a fantasy species with the Jupiter factor, which means that lightning is concentrated on the rabbit monster, and then the power of Zeus, the god of thunder, is obtained...this altar is the ceremonial dress you built to dominate others!"

"You...you bastard..."

At this point, the opponent was visibly panicking. The statue behind him was still entangled with the electricity he had accumulated over the years. Although what he stole was a fake, it was still a force that should not be underestimated.

"...I just said that recently an important figure in the Animal Department was assassinated, and the competition for power is getting more and more intense...You probably want to use Zeus' power to gain status."

"How is it possible? How do you know so much?!"

"This is such an obvious thing that even if I am incompetent, I can still sense that something is wrong. Even if I am an incompetent monarch, it does not mean that I will not sit idly by and watch your crimes."

"And then there is..."

Weber took out a form with a line graph on it that was rising at a very obvious rate. The orc-like thing next to him turned back into Sphinx and took out a recent newspaper.

"Thanks to you, the electricity price has increased significantly in recent years. And coupled with the recent serial murders, I can basically confirm your purpose..."

"Tsk... so what? These things don't prove anything! What makes you so sure that it was me who did it!"

"...Do you want me to continue? This matter would be hard to say in the past, but don't forget that this is the age of technology! Everything you do will leave an indelible mark."

"Just surrender. Your actions have seriously violated the Clock Tower's greatest taboo and violated the rules of concealing the mystery. I have already reported this matter to the Law and Politics Department..."
