Eighth Crown

In the auction hall, under Liu Xia's words, everyone's eyes were focused on Coles, who was beside II.

"Former director of the modern magic department?"

Olga Marie looked at Cowles with obvious suspicion, "I heard that the man disappeared from the modern magic department seven years ago and left the clock tower..."

Caleb sat on the chair, but his hands were already stretched into his arms. As long as the truth was revealed, he could take out the black key to avenge the opponent.

Beside Coles, Grey's face also showed a thick stunned expression, only the expression of the second generation was very dull, as if he had already learned the result.

"No no... Please wait a moment, Mr. Liangyi, how could I be someone else?"

After being watched by everyone, Coles waved his hand quickly, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "This kind of joke is not funny at all."

"Are you still going to keep hiding it?"

Liu Xia didn't care about his sophistry, and took out a portable mobile phone from his pocket, "This morning, I got Miss Lenis's phone number from Teacher II and let her find it. The real Cowles, now as long as I call back, I can immediately call the real Cowles, so do you have any room for refutation?"

After hearing this, Coles paused for a moment, and a speechless expression appeared on his face, "Is that so? Did you pull me away in the morning just to confirm my identity?"

"Honestly, I think my disguise is foolproof, don't know where it was exposed?"

When he said these words, his whole demeanor changed dramatically, and a smile appeared on his face, which was completely different from the impression that Coles gave.

"Your disguise is really perfect. Even Teacher II and Grey didn't find anything unusual. It should be not only a transformation technique, but also a seance."

Liu Xia opened his mouth and said, "Your only flaw is the magic lock. The safe in the office of the director of the Modern Magic Division, the magic lock used on it, was made by you, right?"

"The safe uses both a magic lock and a physical lock. Any physical lock is fine, but if you want to crack the magic lock and get the holy relic of Teacher II, besides Teacher II, you are the only one. maker."

II's office in the modern magic department teaching building was the one that Hartres used seven years ago.

And the magic lock used on the safe in that office was made by Hatreth himself. If he wanted to open the magic lock, he was the only one other than II himself who matched the wavelength of the lock.

"It turns out that it was exposed there."

The fake Coles smiled and blinked, once, twice, three times... When he blinked for the fifth time, a black smoke suddenly poured out of him, and then the freckled teenager disappeared. .

He was replaced by a stranger. He was tall and tall, with long red hair like fire, and his skin was as white as snow. Even his clothes had turned into a sea blue suit, which was quite eye-catching at first glance. .

His age seems to be between his twenties and his forties, but the strange thing is that none of the people present can accurately judge his age, and he feels that he is twenty or forty. It should be a trait of him.

With a gentle and calm smile on his face, "Oh, I thought that as long as I pretended to be Coles, who entered El-Melloi's classroom after you, it would be impossible for even an Servant to see through, I didn't expect you If the source is actually found, then my disguise is meaningless."

When Lucia was studying in El-Melloi's classroom, Coles had not entered the Clock Tower, so Lucia didn't recognize him when she met them at the abandoned station outside London.

If Liu Xia had known Coules long ago, he wouldn't need to spend so much effort, just relying on his breath would be enough to judge whether Coules was himself, and the case would have been solved long ago.

"If I had known that you also boarded the train, I would not have been disguised as Coles, but someone else. It was a misstep."

An interested smile appeared on his face, "Then what? Did you find anything else? After all, you are a disciple of the monarch, and you are a sub-servant you have never seen before. I am also very interested in you. If I'd be happy if you could leave with me."

"Let's talk about it in your sleep at night."

Liu Xia paused for a while, and after arranging her words, she continued to explain, "The cause of the matter has to be traced back to the Fourth Holy Grail War held in the Far East ten years ago. Although that magic ceremony was only a joke in the clock tower before. That's it, but because of the death of the previous monarch El-Melloi, some magicians in the Clock Tower changed their attitudes."

"Especially the monarch of the Astronomical Department, the monarch Animusfia, was the first to become interested in the Holy Grail War, so, seven years ago, he commissioned someone to investigate that magic ritual."

Liu Xia looked at the red-haired Hartres, and looked directly at him, "If my guess is correct, the person he entrusted was you, Hartres?"

"Indeed." Hatress smiled and nodded sincerely.

"But the Holy Grail War is a big ceremony anyway, and it's still in the Far East. It's not that simple to do a field investigation. At that time, you thought of other ways."

Liu Xia stretched out his hand and pointed to his eyes, "You are trying to analyze the Holy Grail War ritual through a large number of magic eyes, through the magic eyes' ability to analyze intelligence."

"That's why all the victims in that case seven years ago were magic eye holders. If you collect so many magic eyes, even if it is the Holy Grail War, you can investigate it clearly."

Whether it is past vision or future vision, as long as you can get it, you can get a lot of information unconditionally. At this point, Liu Xia undoubtedly has the right to speak, and it is for this reason that he thought of using the magic eye to investigate the Holy Grail War a little.

"Wait a minute, the magic eye is also an organ. After the death of the holder, without the blessing of vitality, it cannot provide magic power, and the magic eye should not be able to exert its effect."

Kano Ryori sat in the seat and asked aloud.

"It's a dead end, but who's to say that those who have been beheaded are all dead?"

Liu Xia glanced at her, "The reason why I used the method of beheading to take away the magic eye is just to give you the illusion that 'these people are all dead', but according to my speculation, those victims did not actually Immediately died, but was kept alive by special technology, and the magic eye was used."

Didn't the news broadcast on TV also say that modern technology has invented technology that allows monkeys' heads to survive alone? For a magician, it is not impossible for a head without a body to live alone.
