Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 247. The Black Magic Organization and the Mysteries within it bag. 1
Xenon recounted all the problems faced by the Magic School Academy.
“Black magic organization?”
Kino was surprised to hear the first sentence that Xenon said.
“True. As I said regarding the request that came to the Magic School Academy, it was an official request from the kingdom” side
“Kingdom...other highest authority holder in the Country”.
“Fast. You seem to already know how this country works ya”
“We have been looking for some things about it, but we still do not know about the organization and others” explained Kino
“That's reasonable because this is a request from the kingdom directly, so the level could be categorized as a secret belonging to the State. The Royal Family in the country is the Bernkastel-Wiesbaden Family, a direct relative of Duke Xelhanien and Duke Kiel-Kassel”
“Xelhanien the direct royal family apparently. Deserve the boy named Emily is arrogant extraordinary” grumbled Ryou
Kino thought a little.
‘The names sound like the names of the German States except Xelhanien, but the language in this place uses English. Is this not so...striking?’
‘But, somehow it seems like this ‘world’ has a pretty serious relationship with Kaito-san's memory. I feel this time we will find something different’
Xenon explained the problem again.
“This is a case that originally happened in the western region about two weeks ago. Information we received that there was a missing person case, but not found where and what purpose”
“There is no information regarding the similarities of the missing victims. Children, adults, the elderly, who are healthy or disabled, all disappear in one region
Kino asked Xenon.
“At that time, how many people were missing?”
“From the information we received when the report came there were about 21 people. We also receive photos, names and information of what the victim did before disappearing”
“After being investigated by the Special Division Investigation Team belonging to the Magic School Academy, there was no strangeness from the previous victims. In other words they are just like ‘missing’ just like that”
Xenon's explanation still sounded confusing to the three.
“Then, can't you detect it by magic?” ask Ryou
“That's the problem. When the quest was conducted, no magic could actually detect all the clues. It was as if there was another, more powerful magic covering it all up. Then one day after the request from the kingdom came, the Magic School Academy got a strange letter”
“Surat...odd?”
“True. The one who received it at that time was Duke Xelhanien who was now also a relative of the royal family, Lucas-sama. While some members of the Magic School Academy division were searching for the disappearance of the list of people who entered us, we were really surprised”
“Why?”
“From the letter, there came out a lot of blood and was thrown by Lucas-sama. The circle has a color that we never saw and from the circle comes out the human head”
“......!!!” the three teenagers were shocked
They could not comment since all the things they found in the foreign ‘world’ were definitely just murders and grim things.
Xenon continued his story.
“The head that emerged from the magic circle has the same number as the list of missing people. Moreover, even more strangely there was no blood at all from those heads”
“Hah?! But didn't you say blood came out of the open letter?!” Ryou is confused
“It's true. Blood came out of the letter, but there was no blood on the corpse's head. In addition, on the former part of his head was also not found drops of blood. Once examined by the Magic Council, the head was actually the original head of the survivors”
“Xenon-san..maybe..”.
“True. The missing persons case. Originally it was just one and housed in a small alley. As soon as our side heard the rumors, my partner and I found the culprit. They were beastmen just like the ones earlier this morning, yet different people. We tried to catch him, but..”
“But he managed to escape?”
“She got caught, but she's like blowing herself”
“What?! Exploded? You mean suicide, do you?” Ryou was surprised
“True. It was magic. But, magic to kill yourself like that is already prohibited by this country because of the link when using it” continued Xenon
“Link?”
“People using it will explode. Similarly, the nuclear family that has a blood relationship with him. Parents, lovers who have been in a relationship with him, husband or wife and their children”
“Kejam. Does it include black magic?” ask Kino
Xenon answered and explained.
“Initially only categorized as forbidden magic, but eventually entered into black magic. The magic name was [Dark Sacrifice]”
“So far, no one knows how to activate the magic. It may require a blood covenant or special ritual. But, the magic is already in the category of black magic”
“I reported this to the school and the Magic Council and after that, the same incident continued to repeat itself. It has been three days since it happened in this eastern region and there have been approximately 15 people missing”
“It happened because somehow the point kept changing and we were late always aware of it. Until finally we got the last information that it has been three days in other places there is a case of loss and it happened in the park where I met you guys”
Xenon sighed and looked regretful.
“Before I knew who the mastermind was, what his purpose was and why they did it, I unknowingly killed them this morning. I realize the reckless act was, but if they blow themselves up with that black magic then there will be another victim”
All three silent. They tried to comfort Xenon.
“Xenon, you saved their family. Although it is unfortunate because you lost the only chance to know the information, but there will definitely be another way to find out it”, said Kaito
“That's right, Xenon-san. You saved us too. Thank you very much”
“But, the victim of the disappearance has still not been found. The name of the black magic organization is..is that the name of you guys because they use forbidden magic?” Ryou asked with a serious face
“True. The names of their groups and others are still unknown. It's just because they've been using black magic so we call it so”
Kino looks pale now.
“Xenon-san..if you are investigating this and the perpetrator has not been caught..is not the time so short with the magic school entrance exam?”
Xenon fell silent at the sight of Kino.
“Kino?” Ryou looked at the older brother with a confused face
“Ryou, Kaito-san, remember what the main focus of the entrance exam was this time right? Practice, in other words fighting ability”
Kino then looked towards Xenon.
“Xenon-san, this is just my guess, but I guess the Magic School Academy deliberately conducted this entrance examination to lure the alleged members as an organization to enter, right?”
“I think so too when I hear the exam criteria. I think there is something dangerous going on in this country, Xenon” Kaito confirmed Kino's statement
Xenon did not dodge because he also felt it. There was an unknown thing going on in that place and it was all a result of the dark magic and the magic organization that used it.
