Lu Ning already knew what the soul said yesterday. After seeing the magic power with her own eyes, she naturally knew what Altana's warning meant. In fact, that magic power is the same for everyone in this world. Rennix has already invested a lot of energy in research on it, and magic engraving is one of the results.
The reason Rennix didn't become the same as Altana was simply because he already occupied a position on that huge corpse.
"It seems that this is the truth." Lian Qingyi stroked his beard, "No nature can block the direct influence of magic. But Altana's assassination of you was influenced by the origin of magic. How did he come into contact with magic?"
"The border of magic." Rennix replied, "He is an excellent researcher. Since I have access to it, he can also have access to it."
"What is that?" This time, even Gustave and Justina didn't know.
"The origin of magic only masters part of the mysteries of magic. If we only delve in one direction, humans can touch the boundaries of knowledge. That is, the question that all the magical knowledge given by the origin of magic cannot be included. When solved This question, even if it is just a small step towards the blind spot of knowledge, will directly open up the connection with the magic itself."
"You have the ability to directly connect to the magic power." Lu Ning said, "But being able to connect and being able to withstand it are two different things. The magic power in your world is too huge."
"Did you see it?" Lian Qingyi asked curiously.
"I saw it. Probably because of the rules, people like us won't be affected by magic, but all the native creatures in this world probably can't bear it." Lu Ning recalled the nearly endless corpses, covering the entire planet and changing the world. Basically something that can be done easily.
"Then there's a question." Lian Qingyi said, "If the magic power is so powerful, how did it disappear from the world in the first place?"
"The changes of that year cannot be traced back." Rennix said, "Myths and legends cannot be relied upon. I asked Mr. Tsuburaya Temple to re-draw it just to trigger some memories of the origin of magic, but it was obviously not very successful. Magic The origin itself has been assimilated by magic."
Lian Qingyi nodded and asked: "So, is magic considered a kind of life? Or is it a natural phenomenon?"
"Since it can die, it should also be a kind of life." Lu Ning replied.
"But its death is not the same as ordinary death. It's obvious that those magical powers are trying to return here. We don't know how it died back then, nor do we know how the magical powers left the human world." Lian Qingyi Said, "If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, it will be more troublesome."
"The original incident on Bumoku Island was at the cost of the entire Bumoku Island disappearing and no one surviving. Rennix became a new origin of magic, so the situation did not continue to deteriorate." Lu Ning said, "Now, we want to If you want to seek a different result, you have to find a way..."
"It's not necessary." Rennix said suddenly.
"Huh?" Lu Ning looked at him.
"I will inevitably die, and my death will interrupt the connection on my side. Although the magic is still dissipating, it will take a long time before it appears in this world, and only magicians can access magic. No matter what Neither you nor we need to consider such distant issues."
What Rennix said does make sense, and Lu Ning and others will not care about what will happen in this world in the next few thousand years. However, Lu Ning always felt that it was not appropriate not to face some problems.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. After Escher opened the door, Bayleaf stood outside the door and bowed slightly to the room: "Master, some young masters and young ladies had some arguments in the hall."
"What can they argue about?"
"There was no real quarrel, but... most of the companions they brought did not need to abide by the house rules." Bayleaf smiled bitterly, "What happened last night probably made many people feel uneasy."
"What happened last night?" Lu Ning asked.
"Some failed actions." Rennix waved his hand, "The ceremony on this island has been started. People will take action when they think it is appropriate. Last night was actually a good time."
"Who did it among the servants?" Lu Ning asked.
"Rosemary and Angelica, we persuaded them in time." Bayleaf replied, "Please don't mind, Doctor Lu, this is our internal matter and will not affect you."
"No, anything that happens on this island affects the whole body." Lu Ning said seriously, "Mr. Rennix, you should have checked all the servants? What are rosemary and angelica?" Condition?"
"Rosemary is related to the fighter who was beaten to death by Huo Yinglong. You probably know that Rosemary comes from White, which is Elena's family, but it is already a relatively distant blood relationship. The one who was beaten to death The person is a friend she has known since childhood." Rennix said, "However, the inside story is very complicated, and I still hope that they can explain things clearly."
"Where's Ou Baizhi?" Lu Ning asked.
"He and Dimitri have some...discord." Renix said, "In fact, the two people do not have such direct hatred. Generally speaking, this stage should be 'covered' by the revenge actions of the others. "
"That is to say, the actions of people on the island are based on priority. Oh, by the way, every time before, Dimitri thought that he might be killed at night, and he would give me a receiver. Did he already think that he might be killed? Is Ou Bai Zhi coming out?"
"I think so." Rennix nodded, "He has probably recognized Ou Bai Zhi for a long time. After I reminded him, he probably already knows that Ou Bai Zhi is the Avenger."
In the first and second rounds, Ou Baizhi died on the first night, and in the third round, Dimitri died. There was really no chance for any intersection between the two.
"So...your children may have known about their goals for a long time? It seems that it's not just Dimitri who knows, right?"
"It's up to them."
Lu Ning stood up immediately: "I am somewhat interested in this matter. It seems that there is no part that I can help here. Why don't I go downstairs to mediate."
"Of course, Laurel Leaf, take Dr. Lu downstairs and say it's my order." Rennix said to Laurel Leaf.
Bayleaf nodded and led Lu Ning downstairs.
As he said, the seven children downstairs still maintained a relatively calm attitude, but the others were almost quarreling.
"Dimitri! You should say something!" Jack looked at his friend with some annoyance, "It was okay if you didn't say anything before, but now people are ready to kill you! You still haven't said a word? Do you feel guilty in your heart? What are you feeling guilty about? Is it natural for you to help others? Why should you help others when they ask you? "
"Mr. Jack, you'd better not be so excited." Zhai Jingqiu frowned and said, "We do know about the problem of Angelica Ou and Rosemary, but we are more inclined to find a solution..."
"The Howard family's solution is to solve the most fundamental problem." Subobia said seriously, "Now that the murderer has been discovered, we should deal with it directly, even if it is to completely deprive them of their ability to move. How can the murderer still be like this? Activity?"
The two servants at the center of the conflict were standing by the stairs in the hall, saying nothing. When Lu Ning walked downstairs, no one noticed her at all. All parties could not reach a consensus on the handling of the two servants.
"Please calm down for a moment." Bayleaf said loudly. Everyone turned their attention when they heard this voice. After seeing everyone stop, Laurel Ye said: "The head of the family has given full authority to Dr. Lu to handle this issue. You should have heard it at last night's family dinner."
Cynthia snorted coldly: "What qualifications does she have to care about this matter?"
Lu Ning smiled slightly: "I am a member of the Howard family, is that enough?"
Now everyone's expressions changed.
"Don't get me wrong, you have also read the family rules. The head of the family has the right to grant others the status of a family member. It is precisely because of this that I have the position of a member of the Howard family." Lu Ning smiled, "But this does not affect anything. I am just joining this discussion in this capacity, and I hope that the hidden dangers that may exist with the two servants... and the gentlemen and ladies of the Howard family can be resolved as soon as possible."
"I agree." Mayuri Daida said immediately, "I don't want to be so scared! If someone stares at me every day and wants to kill me, then I might as well kill the person to feel more at ease!"
"Calm down, Mayuri, we are all here, no one dares to do anything casually." Felicia comforted her, and then said to Lu Ning: "In that case, Doctor Lu, how are you going to solve this matter? Although This time it doesn’t involve me, but I have to be careful about the people around me.”
"Have you already interrogated the two servants?" Lu Ning asked.
"They refused to speak." Zhai Jingqiu said.
"Mr. Detective, you are probably more professional. How about... let's ask together?"
"What do you think, Mr. Jack?" Zhai Jingqiu was more concerned about the other person's opinion.
"Humph, you are also considered a party, so ask. If these two refuse to speak, they should be starved for two days." Jack sneered, "I don't know much about torture, but these two can be considered guilty of attempted murder. ?It’s not too much for us to handle it ourselves?”
"Let us ask first." Zhai Jingqiu smiled dryly, and Lu Ning also called the two servants, found a room and walked in.
The two servants remained silent. After Lu Ning and Zhai Jingqiu sat down, Zhai Jingqiu said, "Aren't you ready to explain yourself?"
The two of them remained silent.
"Well, as you can see, I persuaded Huo Yinglong and I plan to have a good talk with you. Assassination is not something that the Howard family has never experienced. If there is any reason, you can explain it. For example Tell me, Rosemary, don’t you want to talk about the person Huo Yinglong once killed?"
"Where was she caught?" Lu Ning asked.
"She tried to take action at the Qimu Pavilion, but Huo Yinglong was stronger." Zhai Jingqiu explained simply.
"Why didn't you use magic?"
Lu Ning looked at Rosemary. She had seen how strong the servants' magic was in the previous round. They had a huge magic reserve on this island, and there was no problem in crushing Huo Yinglong. If Rosemary was close enough to be caught by Huo Yinglong, her magic would have killed people long ago.
"The master of the house ordered." Rosemary finally spoke, "People's affairs should be solved in human ways. Our magic is not used for murder."
"Oh?" Lu Ning smiled, "Even if you have a grudge, you are still very principled."
Rosemary looked at Lu Ning and Zhai Jingqiu: "Yes, the head of the family has given us the right to revenge, so we must also abide by the principles given by the head of the family. I naturally know that we have no restrictions on the use of magic, but I will not take the initiative Break, the same goes for Angelica dahurica."
Ou Baizhi also nodded.
"Personal vendetta is one thing, but Mr. Rennix does have a debt of gratitude to us."
Zhai Jingqiu had never seen such a confident murderer. He frowned: "Magic? I heard Huo Yinglong talk about it, so you all have that kind of magic? Can you kill him?"
Lu Ning patted the detective on the shoulder: "You must be lucky that these servants are quite principled. At least they don't use magic to solve problems directly from a distance."
Then, she looked at Rosemary: "Rosemary, do you know the relationship between your surname White and the Howard family?"
This question confused Rosemary for a moment: "Do you know my last name? Is it the head of the family?"
"I obtained this identity as a convenience after cooperating with Mr. Rennix. We can talk about a lot of information now, and I also have a general understanding of the origins of each servant." Lu Ning tried his best to smile softly, "Rosemary, you are Mr. Rennix's wife and a member of the Elena White family. Although the blood relationship is relatively distant, the connection is real."
"I... don't know." Rosemary shook her head, "And knowing this doesn't make sense to me. I don't know what kind of person Elena White is. In comparison, she is - —”
"On the contrary, the killed fighter was closer to you? I understand it very well." Lu Ning immediately answered, "Compared to relatives who have never met, friends who have grown up are more trustworthy. And this No one would accept the sudden death of a friend. But Rosemary, have you investigated carefully?"
Without waiting for Rosemary to speak, Zhai Jingqiu said: "The underground fighting Huo Yinglong participated in originally involved both parties risking death, and he would not mix magic in it. I can say that this behavior is wrong, but Being beaten to death in the ring is really because your skills are inferior to others.”
"It seems that Huo Yinglong still remembers this very clearly." Rosemary's eyes became cold.
"Because he rarely kills people by accident," Zhai Jingqiu said, "unless the situation does not allow him to stop, or something really angers him. I will not defend him. When he cannot control his emotions, Beating people half to death or actually killing people did happen. But I think the person you met was not at that time, but relatively recently. Huo Yinglong didn't say anything to me, but I think It turns out that he actually remembered it, and he even knew it would be you - otherwise he would not have caught you but killed you directly."
