“…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the old man frowned and stared at Fang Zheng coldly. For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room became a little tense. However, at this moment, suddenly, another voice came.

"Oh, I'm a little scared to encounter such troubles just after arriving here, but everyone, it's not the time to fight and kill yet."

Along with this somewhat sloppy voice, a bearded man dressed casually strode in and spoke with a smile. Hearing his words, the old man glanced at him, then quietly leaned aside and stopped talking. Fang Zheng also yawned and continued to focus on the game in front of him.

"Hahaha……"

Seeing this slightly embarrassing scene, the bearded man scratched his head and gave a wry smile. At this time, accompanied by a deep sigh, El-Melloi II and his disciples also appeared here.

“Haha… I’m so exhausted…”

"Are you okay, Master?"

While pounding his thigh, El-Melloi II sat down on the chair next to him, while Gray beside him looked at him with some uneasiness.

“So weak.”

Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"A magician should also exercise a little. Look at the flowers. She is just a high school girl. She didn't breathe as hard as you after walking all the way. You are not even as good as an ordinary high school girl? How dare you be a LORD? Go back and practice marathon."

“Hmm…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's ridicule, El-Melloi II smiled bitterly and was speechless. Indeed, he was a man in his twenties and almost thirty, but his physical strength was not as good as that of a weak high school girl... This was indeed a bit unreasonable.

Fortunately, at this moment, a guest appeared and finally rescued El-Melloi II.

"Long time no see, LORD El-Melloi."

Along with the voice, a handsome man in his twenties, wearing a white suit, with blond hair and blue eyes, walked in. Seeing him appear, El-Melloi II showed a hint of surprise, and then shook his head helplessly.

"Please add the name 'Second Generation'. This name is too heavy for me to bear like this."

"You are too modest."

The young man smiled slightly at El-Melloi II's answer.

"I have also heard about your activities in the Clock Tower."

Having said this, the young man turned his head, and then everyone noticed that outside the gate not far behind him, a girl who looked to be about seven or eight years old, wearing a white dress, was timidly sticking her head out and looking at this place like a newborn bird.

"elder brother……"

Looking at the girl, the blond and blue-eyed young man smiled gently.

"It's alright, Rosalind. El-Melloi II is a trustworthy gentleman."

"Okay, okay."

Perhaps after hearing these words, the girl relaxed a little. She ran over and bowed slightly.

"I am Heine's sister, Rosalind Eastalli. Please take care of me."

"Ah, hello..."

As he spoke, El-Melloi II nodded, then took out a cigar from his coat. However, at this moment, Fang Zheng stared at him.

"You have the nerve to smoke in front of children. Don't you know that secondhand smoke is bad for children's health?"

"Hold, sorry."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, El-Melloi II showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and then put away the cigar.

“Who is…?”

At this moment, Heine's gaze turned towards Fang Zheng with curiosity. After all, it was quite rare to find someone who could speak to the monarch of the Clock Tower in this way and have the other party accept it obediently.

"The representative of the Thousand World Trees, Black Paulownia Flower, this is Red Ponytail."

At this moment, Heitong Flower also stood up and introduced herself openly. When Heine heard the name of Qianjieshu, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he didn't say anything, but smiled and nodded to the two of them.

"Hello, I'm Heine Elista. It's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance."

Facing Heine's greeting, Heitong Xianhua bowed her head respectfully in return, while Fang Zheng waved his hand casually. Then the brother and sister found a place to sit down, and Rosalind seemed to be quite interested in the PSP that Fang Zheng was fiddling with. She stood beside her brother, turning her head from time to time to secretly peek at the game console in Fang Zheng's hand.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire reception room returned to calm, but not long after, another loud voice rang out.

"Ohhhhh, I never thought there would be so many beauties!"

Soon, a young man dressed like a Japanese monk with an eye patch on his left eye walked in laughing and walked towards Gray, Rosalind, Heitong Hana and Fang Zheng.

"I am the practicing monk Tokito Jirobo Seigen. Please give me your guidance."

The monk opened his mouth wide, with an energetic smile, and greeted everyone, but his eyes were fixed on the four girls without blinking.

"How about it? Do you want to go over there with us to drink some tea, beautiful lady? I heard from the housekeeper that they have prepared the finest tea leaves."

Faced with the invitation from the monk, Rosalind hid behind her brother in fear, while Gray also hid in the shadow of El-Melloi II a little embarrassedly, but Flowers' smile did not change at all.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have no interest in you."

"Oh, don't be like that... Come on, guys, let's make friends."

"Say one more word of nonsense."

Fang Zheng spoke casually while pressing the PSP.

"I will turn you from a monk into a eunuch."

At this moment, El-Melloi II also frowned.

"So-called ascetic monks, although the form is slightly different, aren't they also serving the gods? Also, I remember that the Japanese Shugendo sect regarded women as something taboo."

"Sorry, my sister seems to be frightened."

Heine also stood up at this moment. Obviously, these two people would not allow such a frivolous monk to get close to the women around them.

By the way, he dared to come over and chat with people when there were guardians present. This monk really doesn't care about his life. Isn't he afraid that the people present will join forces to beat him up?

By now, all those who had received the invitation to come to this stripping city had arrived.

They are...

Representatives of the Thousand Worlds Tree - black paulownia flowers and red horsetail.

Lord El-Melloi II, the ruler of House El-Melloi, and his apprentice Gray.

Heine and Rosalind Istari, siblings from the Istari family, a family of alchemists.

A magician mercenary, a bearded man who wrapped himself up like a Middle Eastern dumpling - Astrologer Friuga.

The frivolous Japanese monk - Tokito Jirobo Seigen.

The old man in a wheelchair who had fought against Red Ponytail and Black Paulownia Flower once before was the veteran of butterfly magic, Orlok Sisamonger.

"It looks like everyone is here."

At this moment, suddenly, a sweet voice sounded, and everyone looked up and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a woman with long black hair, wearing a Japanese kimono and glasses standing on the balcony on the second floor, smiling at the people in front of them.

"Just let you guys wait."

As she spoke, the black-haired woman reached out and pushed up her glasses.

"I am Hanano Hishiri, from the Clock Tower Law and Politics Department, who was appointed as the administrator of Grivin Ashburn's estate."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were suddenly in an uproar.

"Xiaohong, who is this woman?"

At this moment, Heitong Xianhua also leaned close to Fang Zheng's ear and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but the Magic Array Department is like the military police of the magician world. In short, it has nothing to do with us."

Fang Zheng successfully cleared another level and answered. As he said, the Law and Politics Department of the Clock Tower may have some constraints on magicians, but it is meaningless to the Thousand World Tree.

Looking at everyone with a smile on his face, Hanano Hishiri took out a letter from his arms.

"This is the will of Griffin Ashobwin."

As she spoke, she looked at everyone.

"The will only has three points - [Ask the name of the angel] [Those who cannot answer the question will be stripped by the angel] [Those who hold my angel in their hands will be the heir of the estate]"

This is where everything officially begins.

“Huh…”

Fang Zheng threw himself onto the soft and comfortable bed and yawned loudly.

“It feels like a mystery novel.”

The flowers beside him also took off their coats and sat on the sofa with emotion. According to what the woman called Huaye said, each of these invitations had an angel name, and the people who had the invitations needed to live in the rooms with the corresponding names. What these people had to do next was to find the angels that corresponded to their own angel names. Whoever found them first and successfully matched the names would be the final heir to the estate.

After that, Fang Zheng and Xianhua naturally found the room marked with the angel's name on their invitation letter in the castle and moved in.

"Yes, the castle, the legacy, and the heirs with ulterior motives. The only thing left is a murder."

Fang Zheng raised his hand and made a shooting gesture.

"However, there is only one truth!"

"Hahaha, no way, Xiaohong, it's just a novel after all..."

“That’s hard to say.”

Facing the rebuttal from Xianhua, Fang Zheng smiled with interest.

"By the way, you saw these magicians today...what do you think of them?"

"Um……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Xianhua thought for a moment.

"Everyone has their own unique personality, but they don't seem like bad people. I thought I would meet the ultimate villain or the devil's subordinate in the movie."

"Magicians don't have the word bad people engraved on their faces. They just have different morals and values ​​than ordinary people. The disagreement between the Thousand Worlds Tree and the Magic Association lies in something more fundamental."

Fang Zheng put down the PSP in his hand and answered.

"So, Xiaohong, we really aren't going to look for the inheritance?"

"Hmm? Are you interested?"

"certainly."

Flowers nodded and smiled excitedly.

"Because isn't this like a treasure hunt? It's pretty fun, isn't it?"

"So do you have any idea about this?"

"ah……"

Hearing this, Xianhua was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head dejectedly.

"No... Teacher Fiore has never taught me this aspect of magic."

"Of course. Each magus family has its own core magic structure and theory. Unless you are from that family, it is difficult to understand its core theory. So I say, this inheritance itself is very strange. Do you see anyone here who looks like someone who studies angels? Maybe that guy named Wen just wants to lure a group of greedy people here so that he can kill us."

"Eh? Why do you want to do this?"

"Isn't this common in horror movies? The sleeping demons need human blood and souls to revive. Not to mention that this old guy is a magician. Magicians are no different from the wizards in the movies. Plus, he's studying angels. Maybe he wants to become an angel himself and send us to hell... In short, you can tell by just watching..."

"Hmm? What's wrong? Xiao Hong?"

"Hmm... I just suddenly thought of something interesting..."

Staring at the PSP in front of her, Fang Zheng couldn't help but think. This was also what she suddenly thought of when she was chatting with Xianhua just now.

As Fang Zheng said, the key to magicians in this world is secrecy. Once secrecy is no longer maintained, the effect of magic based on it will be greatly reduced or even disappear. Therefore, each family keeps its core knowledge secret, which is why magicians need to kill people when they are seen performing magic.

But Fang Zheng suddenly thought of something.

That is...what if all these secrets are exposed?

For example, he could make some games, adventure games like Tomb Raider, or add some core theoretical knowledge about these magic tricks to online games, so that they can spread around the world in the form of game information. What if players all over the world learn the operating principles and core knowledge of these magic tricks from these games, then will these magic tricks become weaker or even lose their effectiveness?

In this case, wouldn't the Magic Association be doomed?

Does this count as changing the world through games?

If successful, not only can the completion rate of the God of Games' tasks be increased again, but the power of the Magic Association can also be weakened. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

Although Fang Zheng himself doesn't know much about the magic families in this world, what does it matter?

Isn’t there a large hanging wall next to him that connects to the root?

It looks like... it's worth a try!
