Aviana has been a little irritable recently, feeling irritable from the bottom of her heart.
Because of Lu Xi and her student, I am afraid it is Aviana, who cares most about anecdotes, and she is the closest to the news in the weekly.
Even privately, Aviana had already figured out how to extract a confession to Lu Xi.
Trying to take the lead as the editor-in-chief of "Yunshang Weekly", Jingluo, and even when he doesn't know the latest news, he will take the lead in putting the latest gossip into his pocket.
However, what turned out to be counterproductive was that since the news alarmed the entire city of Skyewo, Aviana never saw Lu Xie again.
On the day when the news spread, it is said that Lu Xi also went to the princess's mansion, and Aviana naturally did not succeed in catching Lu Xi.
And since the second day after that day, Lu Xi has been back and forth between the college assembly and the dean's office for more than ten days in order to prepare for the freshman education reform this year. Of course, Aviana is not embarrassed to interrupt herself.
As for the college finally starting a new semester, and the educational reform attempt was also approved, Lu Xi finally seemed to no longer have to rush for this, the college suddenly began a week-long freshman training.
Aviana, who had long been unable to restrain the gossip fire, was almost driven mad by this interruption.
As a result, Aviana in the past few days, even the work she wrote for "Frontiers of Magic", seemed to others to be extremely irritable, and no one dared to offend her at all.
"Sell the editors in one group to review the manuscript for me. The manuscript that was falsified last time was the one they decided to adopt. As for the second and third groups, don’t be proud of you. One group can find something worth seeing. Viewpoints. Let’s look at what you advocate for publishing. This is simply lowering the quality of the publication."
With the bombardment of Aviana's words, the entire editorial department of "Frontiers of Magic" has already fallen into a state of silence.
After all, to reason with an angry tigress is undoubtedly an act of self-destruction.
However, other people can bury their heads in silence, but only a new editor who has just received a new task cannot report his tracking status in time.
So a weak voice also sounded from the corner with a slight panic:
"The murder that you called me to pay attention to, through our on-site investigations on the residual energy of Chineng, it has been determined that this was indeed a killing caused by magic."
"So... do you really want to break the tradition and make this event appear on the "Frontier of Magic"
…
Having a friend like Lu Xi, or being able to become a best friend with Lu Xi, there is no doubt that Aviana is actually in the bone... and is also a person who is eager to reform like Lu Xi.
And compared to Lu Xi's limitations in the academy, Aviana, who has a background in a magic family, naturally has an advantage that no one can match in terms of initiating reforms.
Therefore, when the newly recruited Mengxin editor, he took the initiative to mention that Aviana was undergoing this change.
Even Aviana, who was upset, became serious after all:
"Now go to the site with me to take a look, and at the same time, submit all the information about the magic traces you have collected, and then all in the form of written manuscripts, the most detailed one to me.
Aviana's voice only came to an end, and she walked out without a doubt.
As for the Mengxin editor behind him, naturally he can only pack up and follow.
The place where the murder occurred was on an old clock tower in Yunshang District.
And compared to the most prosperous business districts in Yunshang District, in fact, this slightly lonely clock tower is the true geometric center of the entire Yunshang District.
When Aviana arrived with Xiao Mengxin, the editorial department, the garrison of the Xuankong Mountain Corps in Shucheng was handing over the matter to the Public Security Bureau of Yunshang District.
Although the first corpse was found, it was the corps garrison that carried out a routine city defense inspection and boarded the bell tower.
However, the murders in the city should actually be investigated and handled by the Public Security Department.
When I saw Aviana’s arrival, whether it was the sub-office of the Public Security Department who had long recognized Aviana’s identity, or the centurion of the Xuankong Mountain Corps who had great respect for the mage, they politely bowed to Aviana. say hello.
Aviana was not polite when she saw this, and directly expressed to the two people in front of her:
"After an investigation by a wizard in the editorial department, we have determined that this case is related to magic. If you need the cooperation of a wizard, I think I can help you!"
However, no matter how tricked Aviana's words were, the chief of the Public Security Department after hearing the words still saw through Aviana's true thoughts at a glance.
There is no doubt that the main purpose of Aviana's trip is certainly not to provide help.
Instead, you need to learn more details of the case from the two in front of you.
However, the chief of the Department of Public Security, who guessed Aviana's mind, did not immediately introduce the case to Aviana, instead he turned his head and looked at the clock tower where the case really happened.
Then he pointed to a figure standing above the clock tower and continued:
"I think that at present, the person who has put all the information together and knows the whole incident best is probably the only one who is recording the scene on the clock tower... The editor-in-chief of your next-door journal, Whale Fall!"
…
The bell tower at the geometric center of Yunshang District is actually the earliest building in the entire Yunshang District.
And with the prevalence of ingenuity brought about by alchemy, nowadays things like pocket watches and vertical clocks have long become essential things for every family, and the practical value of the clock tower has become weaker and weaker.
So much so that the bell tower, which is still preserved, seems to serve as a symbol more often, but it doesn't actually play an important role in timing.
"But all of us underestimated the true value of the clock tower."
As Aviana also boarded the clock tower, the weekly editor-in-chief who came to record the scene in person, Whale Luo, had already noticed Aviana's arrival and spoke first.
Upon seeing this, Aviana immediately cast a questioning look away.
But at this moment, the whale falls, but still calmly, made an inviting gesture to Aviana, and let her come to the overlook on the top of the bell tower.
Then he pointed to the roads connecting the bell tower to the bell tower, and asked Aviana:
"From your mage's point of view, if a huge magic structure is buried under the ground in the entire Yunshang area, then its most core formation... where will it be?"
As soon as Whale Luo's words fell, Aviana already understood what he wanted to express.
There is no doubt that if there is such a thing in the city cloud upper area of Skywo, then its most critical core formation can naturally only be located where the clock tower is.
And after the whale fell here, it didn't stop there.
Instead, he once again invited Aviana, who was getting more and more confused, and instead looked back at the situation inside the bell tower.
The overall structure of the bell tower is actually a hollow tower-like structure, so from the opposite side of the highest point of view, you can directly see the ground of the bottom of the bell tower.
But with just such a few glances, Aviana had already discovered in amazement that behind this murder... the real hidden secret.
I saw that in the inner wall of the bell tower, many corners that were extremely difficult to be detected, but now under the traces of some kind of dryness, the road and road lines that were originally engraved by the seal are shown.
And those lines themselves... They are also the most familiar magic words as a mage!
Even at this moment, Whale Landing added again:
"The Xuankong Mountain Corps responsible for defending the Yunshang District, they want to inspect this clock tower regularly, I am afraid it is because of what you see now. And the victim who was killed, his body was taken by the Xuankong Mountain Corps. When it was discovered, it was hung inside this bell tower."
"Someone used the blood of the deceased to reactivate these words in the corners of the inner wall, thereby achieving some unknown purpose. So now the real question is, what kind of magic words are engraved on the wall of the clock tower? What an effect?"
"Only by confirming the murderer's purpose, can we truly understand the murderer's most fundamental motive!" ()
