Chapter 1603
Aurora Noctis was never human.

But to talk about her, or why he has human intelligence, it is necessary to study the heart of Aurora Noctis.The light from that crimson stone was like a heartbeat. It was the Philosopher's Stone, the Stone from Heaven, the Philosopher's Stone, the Red Potion, the Fifth Element, the Great Miracle, the Holy Grail of Alchemy.And this fascinating stone is the source of Aurora Noctis's driving body.

This complex mechanical body is far beyond the level of human technology today. Whether it is the silver gear engraved with Shaddai El Chai or the copper gear inlaid with emerald engraved Adona Tzabaoth, it shows that Aurora Noctis is intellectually different. There is no gender distinction.The full name of Aurora Noctis is Aurora Hemonkuluz Paracelsus Noctis. As for how he was born and why he taught at University College London, that is Another story.

Pour out the black tea in the metal stomach, drip a few drops of lubricating oil on the gears that are turning all the time, and then change the color inserts for your detachable nails. This is Aurora Noctis' afternoon tea time, Detective Inspector Safno Mattia, who arrived before, just delayed this time.

It now appears that Inspector Safno Mattia has not only postponed tea time, but has caused trouble.Although the death of her own student did not cause Aurora Noctis to have too many emotional fluctuations, the college still asked for assistance in the investigation. After all, the death of a student is a major event for a school. Although the death did not happen in the school, but Considering the special curriculum of the college, maybe those cultists are after the magical flesh and blood of wizards.

And after Aurora Noctis went to inform the headmaster's familiar, he brought back a sad news.Since Aurora Noctis not only possesses the ability of [Path 28] and the illusion department, but also is quite proficient in [Path 13], divination spells are not particularly difficult for her.Although Aurora Noctis wanted to argue that these abilities originally formed her body, it was related to her contract with the dean, so she had to help this investigation.

Starting from the academy, Aurora Noctis boarded a carriage.Ladies would not walk in the city of London, after all, the wide hem of the skirt is easy to get mud on the street, and the rental carriage has become the best choice for many high-class people to travel.The carriage left the entrance of the college and turned left to a new museum called the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, where Aurora spent his time, but now is not the time.

It was still rainy in London. Although Aurora had an umbrella when she left the teacher's apartment, the long skirt was still unavoidably stained with raindrops.But she doesn't care about it. Perhaps, she doesn't care about her clothes. Aurora's needs for clothes are limited to imitating and imitating human behavior.Through the glass windows on the carriage, she could hear the sound of raindrops hitting, and the smell module also allowed her to smell the fresh aroma after the rainwater turned over the soil, but this meant nothing to her, even though she originally crossed Special individuals of [Creation World], [Formation World] and [Material World], she has experienced such scenes countless times.Aurora still remembers what her "father," or creator, said to her.

"You are the 'crown', one. At the same time, you are also the 'kingdom', a collection of four elements. But you are not complete, you have to choose your own path of fire sword, and finally become 'knowledge'. Become 'wisdom', Be Da'at."

This is why Aurora Noctis entered human society.Born from the flask, she needs to be compatible with each mass point, and finally learn the ultimate knowledge of 10 mass points.This is the route her creator has set for her, and Aurora doesn't want to object, although she still can't understand the use of her wandering in the crowd like a ghost, but the creator said that in this way, her intelligence will grow, so Aurora will abide by it , that's all.

The college is very far away from the destination, and it will take more than an hour to reach Oak Lane by carriage, but Aurora has calculated the time well enough to arrive at the destination within the agreed time.The carriage passes the British Museum, passes through Bedford Square Garden, turns left at the intersection between Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue, and then you can reach the opposite bank through the bridge across the Thames River, then go straight south, Passing by an American restaurant, you can reach Oak Lane and London Hydro, which is hidden deep in the residential area.

When Aurora knocked on the wooden door with "London Water Resources Company", she heard the sound coming from the room.It was the sound of furniture banging, mixed with shouts.

[The logic judgment module starts. 】

[Impact, screaming in panic——enemy attack] Aurora put her palm on the thick door panel, and the slight vibration caused by the sound was transmitted to her palm through the wooden door.

[The target person's life is in danger—the aid plan is launched] Aurora took a step back, but left a phantom exactly like her.

[Melee module starts] She lifts up the fluffy skirt like a lady, as if she wants to curtsey, but no etiquette teacher would think that curtsey needs to pull the skirt above the knee.Then Aurora turned around cleanly, and the heel made of unknown metal hit the door like a battering ram. The thick wooden door fell off its hinges and fell into the room. The phantom that was originally at the door rushed went in.

Finally when Aurora walked into the room, there were only two stunned men.

"Professor Aurora Noctis!" Inspector Safno Mattia, who had seen Aurora before, called out, "Why are you here?"

"Assist in the investigation." Aurora's expression remained unchanged, "Where is the enemy?"

"Enemy?" Villelon shouted in panic. "Where is there any enemy! French? Or German?"

"I heard shouts before I entered the room." The professor of the illusion department scanned the entire room, and finally she had to admit that she had made a mistake in judgment, "The conditions for logical judgment are insufficient, and the rescue operation was too hasty."

"Really? What about our door panels?"

Oliguros, Villon, and Inspector Safno Mattia's immediate superior came out of the room, "The funds for assisting this investigation are all paid by Scotland Yard." This man has black and white hair and a beard , like the kind of middle-aged and elderly men who are not easy to approach, his clothing is as meticulous as his hair, "I invited Professor Aurora Noctis to come over today to assist in the investigation, and Professor Noctis is also a A master of divination spells—and a master of kicking doors."

Director Origuros sat silently behind the oak desk, some blurry black-and-white photos taken from the kraft file were scattered on the desktop.With a receding hairline and a growing beer belly, this Birmingham man has transformed from a young policeman who could bring criminals to his knees with just his eyes, to a grinning football team lover who can be seen everywhere in the bar.Even from the sword to the oak hammer, he is still the queen's crime-fighting weapon, the head of the West Branch of the Secret Service of the Vigilante across London.Now this war hammer has a serious face, and the wrinkles are almost carved into the browbones, because the photo in front of him is from a scene of a cult case—he has many years of experience in handling cases and has seen countless murder scenes, but the photos on the The scene also made him a little unbearable.In contrast, the young woman sitting at the desk concentrates on studying the case records written by the police, comparing the evidence on the table, it seems that the distorted face, torn limbs and chest of the deceased in the photo, blackened The pools of blood, the spilled entrails, and the maggots covering the rotting body are as worthless as outdated perfume.

The professors at the University of London are really rich, Director Origuros thought.Especially the professors of the School of Magic, decent jobs, no need to go to the smelly crime scene, no need to enter and leave the slums in the rain on the street, and no need to squat in the alley and eat fried bread.

The Grand Cross winner and Queen's Warhammer couldn't help but look at the ring on the woman's hand, constantly estimating in his heart that he would have to spend a few months' wages to buy a gemstone ring for his wife.The blond woman in front of her eyes had curls of hair hanging down her temples, and the huge diamond ring on her hand was exquisitely cut, which could instantly capture the light of lightning flashing outside the window and then illuminate the room.No need for gossip or high-society gossip, Chief Origuros' investigative abilities told him incessantly how rich the woman in front of him was: exquisitely tailored clothes, engraved glasses, neat fingers and meticulous care. Manicured nails, these details all reflect the taste of wealth.The woman in front of me has unparalleled beauty and taste in clothes. Nobles who pursue her can go around the West District. Director Oliguros has seen her several times at banquets.

"Ahem! Thank you for your help and tolerance for my stupid subordinate, Professor Aurora Noctis." Director Oliguros withdrew his attention.He said in a deep voice, "I don't know how much help the prophecy professor of your school has provided. This case involves some troublesome people."

"The victim was a college student, and Professor Selvik broke his leg on the steps." Professor Aurora Noctis didn't even look up, "I have already informed the dean of the situation, and the reply I got was It is up to me to assist SSS to solve this problem. So here I come, Director Arthur Edino Oligulos. Although I am a professor of illusion, the head of the school can assure you of my ability, and there is also a phone call here Straight to the office, no?"

"That's not what I meant, ma'am." Director Oliguros waved his hand awkwardly, "I just want to express that this case may not be suitable for a lady..." Aurora Noctis' jewel-like eyes made her Mister Warhammer swallowed his next words. "...Look at what you said. Since you insist, let's pay more attention to the case." The Queen's Mr. Warhammer stroked back his little gray hair and stroked his gray goatee, "Facts Not much is known about Safno Mattia, and many details are not included in the dossier. For example, the scratches and bayonet fragments we found at the scene, and... most importantly, one should not have appeared at the scene s things."

Mister Warhammer dug out a small glass bottle sealed with wax from the evidence box.

If you don't hold the bottle up to the light, it's easy to overlook the contents of the bottle and think it's empty.No one present would make such a mistake. Director Oliguros showed the key evidence in the bottle to the professor of illusion. "It's a white hair," he said. "It's not human, at least not entirely."

Sub-human races, including fox people, cat people, etc., are all races that have walked on the land since the continent of Mu.These races live in the same society as us, and are integrated with human beings, and there is not much difference.If we start with some details, we can still find that these races are different from ours.The tail and ears of the vulpey race are no different from the rampant foxes in London. The place where human ears should grow is smooth, and the ears are located on the top of the head.Vulpera often complain that the weather in London is too rainy, causing the rain to pour into their ears, so that they have to spend a lot of time cleaning their ears-the same is also affected by the rain on the tail of the vulpey.Compared with cat people's tails, fox people's tails are obviously much fluffier. Fox people are proud of having a smooth and fluffy tail, because only fox people with high enough status and rich enough life can avoid tail fur be polluted.

Fox people are also very talented in magic, or in other words, fox people are very talented in illusion and transformation magic.

I once saw a vulpey drunk who could change shape when he sneezed, switching his head between a humanoid and a fox.That was when the author was young, and the fog in London was extremely thick that day. The vulpine alcoholic hadn’t stopped sneezing since he entered the bar. The tavern is full of rivers of beer.I would say that Belgian Abbey beer tastes much better than Prussian beer, and it sticks to the soles of my shoes better.

Even the fanatical purists must admit that in Atlantis, the place where human beings originated, the bloodlines among the races have long been chaotic.It is undeniable that even the blood of the royal family has some other racial components. It has been rumored more than once that the royal families in various places gave birth to babies with other blood, even the Habsburg family could not avoid this happening.Just 20 years ago, the Spanish royal family gave birth to a baby girl with fox blood.Although the royal family strongly denied it later, folk rumors were rampant, and the royal family's statement that the queen gave birth to a dead baby was hardly believed.

So why don't we see royals with demihuman ancestry now?
No one knows this, but we must be ashamed of our history of driving and hunting other demihuman races, my people.We have no clear evidence that demihumans are inferior to humans in terms of intelligence, physical strength, and morality. There is no evidence that surface claws and sharp teeth are inferior to fingernails, and there is no evidence that people with tails are stupid than those without tails. After all, humans Our ancestors used to hang upside down from tree branches by their tails, didn't they?
