Eighth Crown

Strip City, the first floor lobby.

When O'Rourke saw the unconscious beast in the center of the hall, there was obvious shaking on his face.

"Oh?"

Luvia was always paying attention to O'Rourke's reaction, and the moment his face became chaotic, she was keenly aware of it, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"It seems that the old man really knows this beast, right?"

With just one sentence, the eyes of everyone present were focused on O'Rourke. El-Melloi II, Kano Ryori and others had different eyes.

"Hmph...I thought you wanted to say something."

O'Rourke managed his expression in a timely manner, and the expression on his face became as calm and arrogant as before, "This old man and Gryon are friends, what does it mean to know a beast in his hand?"

"You said that, there is no problem."

Although Luvia agreed with O'Rourke's statement, the smile on her face was very pleasant, "So, who is the most likely person to control the beast, old man?"

"Don't say it's my servant, this beast was caught by my servant." Luvia added.

O'Rourke was stunned for a moment, and then his face became visibly ugly.

At the side, Jirofang Qingxuan and Frenger both cast suspicious glances at him.

Although Kano Ryori and El-Melloi II were not so direct, they also cast their gazes over and looked directly at him.

He slipped out.

Because he saw it that shouldn't be here, he panicked for a while, so he said 'know this beast'.

But everyone present knew that this beast was raised by Gryon, and the only one who could control this beast was Liu Xia, a dead disciple who might have the ability to control magical beasts. People who really know this beast.

But the beast was caught by Liu Xia, so he can naturally wash away 80% of the suspicion. At this stage, the most suspicious person has become Orok.

If he only said that he and Gryon were friends, it would not be enough to be suspected, but as soon as he admitted that he knew the beast, he immediately became the object of everyone's suspicion.

"seriously?"

At that time, Jirofang Qingxuan looked at O'Rourke suspiciously and muttered.

"Do you have anything to defend? O'Rourke Sishamander."

As an administrator, Kano Ryori asked Orok with a light smile.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became dead silent.

"Haha... Although it's just a nouveau riche family, it still has two brushes, stinky girl."

After a long silence, O'Rourke squeezed out a few laughs from his throat, and the expression on his face became helpless, "Well, then I'll tell you - me and this beast, no, yes and her origins."

"That was when I was young..."

Under everyone's gaze, O'Rourke's cloudy eyes seemed to become reminiscent.

"I am a magician, and a magician of a magic family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. Of course, I know the importance of magician ethics in the process of magic research. In theory, even relatives and lovers can be easily abandoned. ."

As long as it is something that hinders the way forward, whether it is family or a lover, anything can be discarded.

This is the ethics of magicians.

"But even so, I still fell in love with her hopelessly. She is so beautiful, so gentle, and her skin is so fair, that even my heart of adhering to the magic way was shaken."

As O'Rourke described it, he seemed to be immersed in that era, and turned his gentle gaze to the unconscious beast on the ground.

"But by chance, she ended up marrying Gryon, becoming Lord of the Strip, my friend's wife, and having a child, Granite Ashburn."

As O'Rourke told his story, the attention of everyone in the hall was drawn to him.

Only Liu Xia, who stood in the shadows and looked at the reactions of the people around her, keenly noticed that when he talked about this, the eyes of someone in the hall suddenly turned hideous for a moment.

"It was already after her death that she was terminally ill."

O'Rourke continued to recall: "After she died, I didn't think about food for a long time, my mind was full of her figure, and then I learned that even her child, Granit Ashburn Suffering from the same terminal illness as her, I felt very hated and regretful at the time, even if I went to Druid to ask for a panacea, the child could not be cured, and he died in his good years."

"Until one day last month, Gryon found me, and he happily told me that he succeeded in keeping her."

O'Rourke looked at the beast lying on the ground, with deep pain in his eyes, "I did see her, she turned into a monster - this is my butterfly magic technique, I can't recognize her. come out."

It is said that butterfly magic is a magic that is extracted from the concept of 'worms transform into butterflies' and used to carry out the [human body transformation] project.

In other words, Glyon used Orok's butterfly magic to turn his wife into a monster?

Everyone present looked at the beast lying on the ground in disbelief.

This beast is actually the terminally ill lady of Gryon?

Although in the field of magicians, there are cases where they take the initiative to become inhuman in order to continue their research, but in the final analysis, it is still unbelievable that such a thing happened in front of you, and Gryon is not a general himself, but turned his wife into a beast—

"I knew that Gryon did nothing wrong in the magician's position. It was quite normal for a magician to keep the body of the dead as a collection for study, but I just couldn't stand it at the time."

O'Rourke seemed to recall the mood at that time, the expression on his face also became dark, and the turbid eyes released an amazing killing intent.

"So, I attacked and killed him."

When everyone in the hall heard the words, they all froze.

The reason why they came here was because Gryon had just died last month and there was no heir. They didn't expect to find out the cause of Gryon's death here.

"This is my past with Gryon."

O'Rourke recovered from his memory and looked at everyone with a calm expression, "But that's all, I neither spy on the secrets of Gerion, nor do I intend to kill, whether you believe it or not, the death of Heine not my business."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe his words or not.
