In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Why was I programmed this way? Why was I documented this way? I'm clearly the victim!

Listen, stop now! This is wrong!

"Don't record me like this!!!"

The king sent men to bring the prince back, but the kind and righteous magician by the king's side sensed something was wrong.

He discovered the monster hiding inside the prince's clone, chuckling to itself, and used his magic to force the monster out.

"Wait a minute, who am I?"

The ugly and evil monster was exposed to everyone.

This isn't me!

The exposed monster was terrified and began to harm the other people in the castle.

"I'm so scared."

The king was furious and ordered his guards to capture the ugly monster.

What exactly happened?

Then, after extracting information from the monsters about the prince's whereabouts, he led his army into the forest.

"I'm overlapping with the character based on me...? Why is this happening? No, I'm not like that."

"In this story, both the prince and the monster are based on me, so why—"

"I shouldn't be like this, really..."

"Let's finish this story, Master."

"This story is all thanks to you magicians."

"That's why they exist in this world."

......

The evil sorcerer was captured and imprisoned with monsters.

The prince was also saved.

From then on, the prince, the king, and the queen lived happily ever after.

P.S. Hans Christian Andersen:

This story is dedicated to the legend of the "Monster of London" that my father's old friend once heard in London [encountered (heavily crossed out)].

"That's the story."

"Another story of finding happiness and joy."

Goodnight, Master.

Chapter 681 Family Chronicles: Serlim Zorgen

Clock Tower Records & Filing

Family History - Zorgen - End of 1793

The Zorgen family is undoubtedly a prestigious family in the Clock Tower. Founded in 1550 by the first patriarch, Marchi Zorgen, the family has weathered hundreds of years of trials and tribulations and has now been passed down for twelve generations.

Even before Marchi Zolgen, his adoptive brother, teacher, and father-in-law, Adroson Falgao, was also a very good magician. Even Adroson Falgao's father, Lawrence Anno Falgao, although not a magician, still achieved great things in the non-mystical field.

In conclusion, this is an absolutely outstanding family that deserves the title of "exceptional," and its position within the Clock Tower is also of paramount importance.

As a prestigious family, the Zorgen lineage possesses a special magical attribute inherited from Adroson Falgao – the [Gem] attribute. In addition, some members of the Zorgen family also possess water-attribute magic. However, they have a special inheritance magic developed by Olga Zorgen, the wife of the first head of the family, to ensure that every generation, the Zorgen family will have a descendant with gem-attribute magic.

Those who possess gem-attribute magic can study and use the Zorgen family's special magic—

Gemstone Magic.

It is not a traditional gem magic, but a unique magic with the same name, exclusive to the Matou family, and its full name is "Gems create magic," which is the magic of creating gems.

【Gemstones】do not refer to gemstones alone, but rather to gemstones, pearls, and a few precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) and other base materials that are considered 【expensive】.

These materials can be manufactured and manipulated using magic. Among them, gems are the most difficult to manipulate and the most destructive because of the stability of their magical structure. Therefore, the entire system is called "Gem Magic".

Originally, it was not a magic specializing in killing. It is said that the earliest gem magic was developed by Adroson Fai for medical purposes, but now there is no trace of medical magic.

The current head of the Zorgen family, Serim Zorgen, did not inherit this glorious and powerful magical attribute; his magical attribute was just ordinary water magic.

His son, Ivo Zorgen, inherited the magic power of the gemstone through intergenerational magic.

Serlim was unwilling to accept his mediocrity, even though he was already quite outstanding.

......

Serlim sat in his study, silently holding a book and reading.

He has a dignified appearance and is 45 years old this year, but his magic rating is still stuck at "Pride".

With a sigh, Serim turned a page in the book, but his eyes felt sore, and he couldn't help but look up.

"Ancestor Lawrence, why wasn't I the one who inherited the magic of the gems..." he murmured, looking at a painting hanging on the wall of his study.

The painting depicts a man and a woman sitting by the river, seemingly having a picnic.

The man was very handsome with long, smooth black hair, and the woman was very beautiful with long, wine-colored hair.

Their names were Lawrence Anno Falgao and Harley Bahargul Orvis, a beautiful couple from Florence, Italy, and the ancestors of the Zorgen family.

As the only descendants of Lawrence and Halle, the Zorgens family possesses all of the great man's legacy.

This includes a great many paintings, jewelry, and other artworks that Lawrence never sold or even knew about, a lot of medical research materials, some of Lawrence's manuscripts, and many of Lawrence's collections from his lifetime, all of which are now displayed inside the Zorgen family home.

"I don't want to stagnate..." Slowly closing the book in his hands, Serim hadn't actually read a single word in the past half day.

But I noticed the title on the cover of this book.

“Familiar…” Serim gently stroked the cover of the book and read the words on the cover.

"Um......"

Standing up, Serim put the book about familiars back on the bookshelf, opened the study door, and was about to walk out when he bumped into a young man.

"Ouch—" The young man was very thin compared to the relatively tall Serim, and was knocked to the ground by Serim.

"Are you alright, young man?" Serim didn't mind bending down to help the young man he had bumped into.

"I'm fine... Ah! Master!" The young man was startled and stood up straight.

"You've come to see me?" Serim gave a friendly smile.

"Yes." The young man also recovered from his shock and bowed slightly. "There are guests waiting for you in the living room, so I came to let you know."

"Thank you for your hard work, but this should be the butler's job." Serlim nodded, indicating that he understood.

“It should indeed be his job.” The young man couldn’t help but chuckle. Although Serim had a dignified appearance, he was usually a very kind person. “Unless he has an upset stomach right now.”

Serlim laughed and shook his head: "Did my butler tell you whether those guests had given prior notice? A hasty visit might not be well received. I really haven't received any notices in the past two days."

The young man nodded: "They told me that the visitor was the head of the Einzbern family, and there was no prior notice."

“I see, I understand.” Serlim nodded, straightening his appearance. “You must be from a collateral branch of the Zorgen family, what’s your name?”

“Yes, sir,” the young man introduced himself politely. “My name is Ruslan Zorgen.”

“Is that so… I’ll arrange for Adol to get you a position in the Zorgen family later. You’re quite clever.” Serlim said with a smile as he walked past Ruslan.

Adol is the butler of the Zorgen family, a third-rate magician with little talent, but he is quite good at management.

Luslan stood at the door of the study, looking at Serim who had already reached the top of the stairs, and pursed his lips.

A hint of struggle flickered in his eyes, but it ultimately turned into a sigh.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it...

Serlim descended the stairs and received greetings from several servants on his way to the reception room.

Upon opening the door to the reception room, Serim saw a fair-skinned woman sitting on the sofa.

"Why would the artificial house suddenly visit?" Serim frowned slightly.

"Good morning, ma'am." He sat down on the sofa and looked at the woman opposite him.

Chapter 682 The Deal Between Zorgen and Einzbern

Luslan's Diary: December 3, 1793, Cloudy

This is the end of the eighth year... less than two years left. I've already joined the Zorgen family, that's for sure. What I need to do next is to put my talents to use, but...

In short, although I live in the suburbs of London, I still like to occasionally go into the city for a stroll. I met him here a couple of days ago. He was a very cute little boy. I... (heavily blacked out, but the word "pain" can be vaguely seen).

I'm in a terrible mood. The Einzbern family has already begun contacting the current head of the Zorgen family, but I can only watch, I can only watch...

......

"Greetings, esteemed head of the Serim family." The fair-skinned android bowed respectfully and greeted Serim. "I apologize for arriving so hastily without prior notice."

“It’s alright.” Serlim snapped his fingers and summoned two servants. “Go and make two cups of black tea.”

"So, there must be something you need in such a hurry to come here," Serim said, placing his hands on his knees as he looked at the woman.

He knew that this woman was not human, but an artificial being created based on Justessa Rislesi von Einzbern, the Winter Saintess.

Around the year 900 AD, after the original disciples of the Third Mage either perished or left, the castle was operated by the artificial beings themselves.

“Yes, the Winter Saintess entrusted me to deliver this to you.” The homunculus picked up a bag from his side, took out a letter from it, and handed it to Serim.

Serlim silently accepted the envelope, opened it, and carefully read its contents.

"Want to try to build a new magic system, and therefore need to purchase mysterious relics?" Serim said, frowning.
