I will attack in the second dimension as a heroic spirit

"Your eyes are measuring past vision... No, although there's no strict distinction, it's leaning towards measuring past vision, isn't it?"

Caleb covered one eye.

"You can do it, right? Recreate what happened in the past." Kanono Hishiri slashed through the air. "Just record and save the slash in the front carriage, and recreate it when Theresa passes by."

click-

It wasn't a slash, but an onomatopeia coming from Kanono Hishri's mouth.

"They can cut off the other party at any time, right?" Before Caleb could refute, Hanano Hisiri continued, "And this Ms. Ash who was able to discover Theresa's head that no one else had discovered is your colleague..."

"If you don't shut up and keep throwing mud at me," Ash's blue eyes fixed on Hanano Hisiri, "I'll show you why we were able to survive the Ghostliner."

Let you free fall in the water mirror for 30 minutes first.

Kanano Hisori's smile froze instantly.

"Good reasoning, ma'am." El-Melloi II said, "But there are three problems with your argument."

"First, does Mr. Caleb's magic eye have that ability?"

"Secondly, assuming they have that ability, other magicians could also hypnotize Caleb and use it to kill Miss Theresa."

El-Melloi II didn't care about Kanono Hisiri's reaction and continued talking.

"Third, your reasoning lacks motive."

"Regarding the second point," Ash continued, "Caleb, you haven't answered me yet. Do you remember what you were doing in the lounge car?"

"Ah...those slashes." Hearing Ash's question, Gray beside her also remembered those sudden slashes that appeared from the air during the battle just now.

"...No, I don't have any memory of entering the lounge car." Caleb seemed unable to react to the flood of information that followed. After a moment's pause, he replied to Ash, "My earliest memory is after I met you, ma'am."

"How is that possible? We clearly saw you in the lounge car, you were looking at the scenery..."

Before Olga Marie could finish her words, everyone present realized something.

Caleb had just been hypnotized.

And... Caleb's magic eyes can really do that kind of thing.

"How true!" Auctioneer Leandra exclaimed excitedly, "If he can accomplish something like this, Mr. Caleb's Demonic Eye might be able to reach the 'Gem' level."

It's not about the excitement of finding the truth.

Nor is it about cheering for discovering the modus operandi.

The auctioneer was deeply moved simply because he had discovered the precious Demon's Eye.

"In that case, for everyone's safety, our Magic Eye Collection Train will temporarily detain Caleb."

The auctioneer stared at Caleb with her eyes tightly covered by the blindfold and continued with a fanatical attitude.

Ever since discovering he might be hypnotized, Caleb has remained silent, even when he was about to be taken into custody.

For safety?

These followers of the Dead Apostles are also quite good at talking.

Seeing that the mystery drama was about to end, Jian put the head in a suitcase beside him and walked out with Olga Marie.

After all, I have to keep an appointment in the evening, although I don’t know if the other party dares to show up.

When she passed by Hanano Hishiri, the beautiful smile returned to her face, as if her trick had succeeded.

"I'll notify them to change your room. The room next to ours is empty." El-Melloi II said as he followed out.

"Come to our place first. We won't abandon you." Ash touched Olga Marie's head comfortingly.

Olga Marie nodded silently.

--split line--

"Normally, it should be impossible to escape outside." El-Melloi II stood on the platform, staring at the railroad tracks moving away.

"If it can fly, it should be possible." Jian said beside him. "I searched other people's rooms and carriages when I came here, but I didn't find anything."

"Hmm... He was able to suddenly disappear during the battle just now. He must have had some flying Noble Phantasm and escaped by jumping out the window."

The sun sets gradually.

Although due to the thick dark clouds, there was basically no sun to be seen.

It’s already arrived.

The man on the roof had no intention of concealing himself and exuded a powerful aura.

Jian watched the flash of red lightning in the dark clouds.

"It's up there, let's go up." Ash grabbed El-Melloi II and Gray beside him and jumped to the top of the carriage.

“Woooaaaaa…”

El-Melloi II let out a rather unconvincing cry.

"Ma'am... next time it's so exciting, could you tell me in advance?"

"I'll try my best. The main thing is not to keep our guests for too long."

The armored woman on the roof of the car looked over with a raised smile.

"Come so early?"

"After all, we can't let the Magus come and set up the magic in advance." The armored woman crossed her arms. "That would be troublesome."

"...Are you the one who stole the teacher's things?" Gray on the side had already unfolded Yade.

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm the subordinate of that thief." The armored woman laughed heartily.

"...I didn't get to ask before." El-Melloi II pushed up his unfamiliar glasses. "Who are you?"

"Huh, your face is really unpleasant to the eyes."

The armored woman didn't respond to El-Melloi II, but suddenly raised a finger. "Stingy, narrow-minded, sullen and eccentric, grumpy, reading moldy books, servile yet arrogant, pretending to have endured so much hardship, yet when it's all over, I'm the one who made the most of it. So, all of that is spot on, isn't it?"

"Exactly," Ash replied flatly. "It's like a blow-by-blow description of his life."

"sh..."

Chapter 20 I want to solve this mystery

"Ah, I don't like it. I absolutely don't like it." The armored woman clicked her tongue in disgust. "This time, besides being interested in it, I also came to bring a message. 'I look forward to your reasoning.' - That's what my master said."

"Really? I heard that Iskandar once submitted to you, so I thought he was some great magician."

"No, he did not submit to me, but I was his subject." El-Melloi II retorted softly.

"Just you?"

"Is the injury healing so quickly?" Jian interrupted the topic, the water mirror unfolded, and the magic was charging.

"Ah, you're talking about this." The armored woman raised her right hand and clenched it tightly. "My master's magic skills are surprisingly good."

"Come to think of it, this is the third time we've met." She drew her dagger, pointing the tip at Ash. "Please introduce yourself."

The dagger pointed at the ash suddenly swung towards the sky...

Then it was interrupted.

"Witch's Strike!"

Jian emerged from the water mirror and kicked the armored woman away.

"Just introduce yourself honestly, why are you making such a fuss?" As he said that, Jian threw the magic power stored in his staff at the armored woman.

The moment the magic touched the roof of the car, pink-blue magic light burst out in all directions.

"Ouch... What a troublesome magic." The armored woman rolled to avoid the attack and praised Ash in a low voice.

Just as Jian was about to draw his spear and pursue further.

boom--

A red lightning bolt fell from the clouds and headed towards Jian.

A double-driven chariot pulled by two bone dragons appeared in the clouds, causing lightning to cover the battlefield.

what? !

"You didn't expect that, Magus," the armored woman laughed loudly. "I was prepared for that, too."

After taking a step back and using the water mirror to block the lightning, Jian raised his staff and the sword formation was deployed.

At the same time, the armored woman turned over and jumped onto the chariot, holding the reins, and the chariot sped through the air.

"My name is Hephaestion."

Hephaestion roared bravely.

"He is the greatest conqueror in history, Iskandar's most trusted confidant!"

El-Melloi II was stunned. Although his eyes had been wide open since the chariot was summoned, his expression now was as if he had seen something incredible.

Why...I haven't seen her in the King's Army (Aionion Hetairoi).

Lightning surrounded the chariot.

They didn't release their Noble Phantasms, they simply charged forward, and the lightning from their trampling seemed to reverse day and night.

But the next moment, raindrops fell on Hephaestion.

"Rain of atonement!"

The raindrops that should have been ordinary were filled with magical power and fell on the chariot like dousing a flame.

The chariot surrounded by thunder and lightning gradually became dim, and the raindrops slowly eroded the lightning around the chariot.

The sword formation suddenly fired several beams of light, which pierced into the bone dragon pulling the chariot, and half of its wings were broken.

But Hephaestion seemed not to feel it and continued to drive the chariot towards Qianzhe and others.

The next moment, Ash, El-Melloi II, and Gray appeared behind the speeding chariot.

And then...he watched Hephaestion fly away without looking back.

Are you really coming to take a look?

Look at the princess?

Ash tilted his head and looked at the flying chariot.

The roof gradually returned to calm.

As they were about to return to the train, El-Melloi II suddenly spoke.

"Ma'am, this Hephaestion... may I come?"

"Ok?"

"Can you leave this matter entirely to me?"

El-Melloi II smiled, a rare smile from the man as if he had seen his prey.

"I want to solve this mystery myself..."

It looks like there will be a story not to be missed next.

Seeing El-Melloi II like this, Ash also raised the corner of his mouth.

"Okay."

"Ah, if I'm dying, I'd like you to help me."

"Eh~"

"Please don't look like you're bothered. Please be sure to take action when the time comes."

"Good~"

--split line--

"You...you said you wouldn't leave me alone. Where have you been?"

As soon as Ash and the others returned to the room, Olga Marie rushed up to them with tears in her eyes and complained.
