There was no doubt that it was a chrysoberyl.
Chapter 93 Golden Green Cat's Eye
2023-04-30
"Ding dong~ding dong~ding dong~ding dong."
Some simple yet pleasant melodies were playing.
Sitting alone in an empty prison cell, Delphinium stared at the magic mirror in his hand.
While the magic mirror is calling the other side, not only is there fresh and pleasant music, but from time to time there are a few cute-looking fairies flying by on the mirror and dancing in the air.
If you only look at the appearance, Delphinium now looks like a child holding a toy, and no one would think that she is calling out for a conversation.
After waiting for dozens of seconds, the fairy dance on the mirror finally stopped, and the picture on the other side of the magic mirror was finally connected, revealing the face of a young girl.
The girl put on a business smile, bowed to the magic mirror, and said politely: "Hello, sir, please explain the purpose of your call."
Although Cuiqiao didn't know the other person, just by looking at the golden hard hat on her head, she could roughly guess her identity - she was from the Investigation Institute and should be the intermediary of the call.
"The investigation team leader named Cattail gave me this magic mirror and told me that someone was looking for me."
Delphinium nodded slightly, as if returning the greeting, and briefly explained her purpose: "My code name is Delphinium."
"Understood, Lord Delphinium, please wait a moment."
Without raising any questions about what Delphinium said, the smiling girl bowed slightly again through the magic mirror, then turned and left, obviously to check the relevant information of this call.
Delphinium looked at the empty mirror with an expressionless face, and no one knew what it was thinking about.
Not long after, when the information was checked, the girl appeared in front of the mirror again. She bowed again, still maintaining her courtesy, and said, "Hello, Inspector Delphinium. Your call will be transferred to the dean's study."
As he finished speaking, the image in the magic mirror began to rotate, and the scene reflected on the mirror soon switched to a room filled with exquisite furnishings.
The entire wall of the room was occupied by thick bookcases, and even through the mirror one could smell the rich scent of books. The bookcases were filled with old books written in unknown languages, and in the corners above were several old paintings and photos.
Next to the desk in the middle was a gorgeous armchair, with thick suede on the back and seat, and metal armrests and backrests inlaid with chrysoberyl, which looked extremely luxurious. On the desk were several manuscripts and exquisite trinkets, and next to it was an elegant tea set. A steaming teacup was held in a porcelain-white hand, and the owner of the hand was sitting on the armchair, looking at the magic mirror with a smile on his face.
She was a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The girl had a slender figure, and wore a gorgeous silver-white long dress with golden embroidery and slightly green sequins on the hem, giving people an elegant and fresh impression. She wore a simple and elegant gem bracelet on her wrist and a golden robe on her shoulder, but unlike ordinary members of the Investigation Institute, this robe looked particularly shining on her.
Her long golden hair was scattered on her shoulders, and every strand of her hair was like clear silk, with a faint glow, as if it was stained with a layer of gold powder. Her face was well-proportioned, her eyelashes were dense, and her facial features were delicate with a hint of nobility, but she didn't make people feel overbearing.
What is most impressive is her eyes.
In the clear yellow eyes are a pair of sharp vertical pupils. The corners of the eyes are slender and slightly upturned, like a cat's eyes, lively yet a little deep, and the subtle vicissitudes of life make people curious about it.
really.
Seeing the person in the mirror, who was the "dean" mentioned by the girl before, Cuique still had no expression on her face, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
There is only one person in the magic kingdom who can be called the Dean by the people in the Investigation Institute, and that is the one in charge of the Investigation Institute in the gem scepter - Golden-green Cat's Eyes.
As the pinnacle of magical girl power and strength in the kingdom, the magical girls who can be called the Gem Scepters are naturally the focus of people's attention, but there are actually very few people who can personally meet the Gem Scepters. Even among the magical girls, there are many who have never spoken to any Gem Scepter until they retire.
If someone else were in Delphinium's position, they would surely feel honored at this moment.
But the delphinium's performance can be described as indifferent.
After all, this was not her first time dealing with the golden-green cat's eye.
As a nominal inspector, Cuiqiao's file was classified as a subordinate of the Investigation Institute. This golden-green cat-eye was naturally her nominal superior. This time he came to her, and no one knew what he was up to.
"I haven't seen you for many years, Miss Cornflower, who claims to have changed her name to Delphinium."
The other party's first sentence was in stark contrast to his proper tone, and contained a subtle hint of teasing: "When was the last time we met? Was it during your Majesty's great celebration year?"
Delphinium's lips moved for a moment, and after a moment, she looked cold but politely saluted and said, "As you said, it was nineteen years ago, Your Excellency the Dean."
"Very good, it seems my memory is not wrong."
The golden-green cat-eye nodded slightly: "According to your report, a magical girl who called herself Claw Mark appeared in Fangting City a few days ago and was defeated by you. Since you have obtained the magic mirror that I asked someone to send, the task of handing over the prisoner should have been completed?"
"It's done." Delphinium answered sparingly.
"Very efficient, as always, Miss Delphinium."
The girl raised her voice with some satisfaction and slightly raised her eyelids: "Well, please make sure there are no listeners around you who are not suitable to hear this conversation. Now it's time for our private conversation."
Upon hearing this, Cuiqiao glanced at the door and found Hong Siyu standing there with a pleading look on her face.
Ignoring his somewhat resentful look, he raised his chin to signal him to leave, and then turned his gaze back to the magic mirror in his hand: "I can confirm, please speak."
"Okay, so let me get to the first thing about this conversation."
Pulling out a small notebook from his side, the golden-green cat opened it and pinned it to the page he needed: "The first thing is a sad news about the last batch of magical girls in your Fangting City, the ones who joined the Investigation Institute to investigate the cause of Sakura's death."
"Who?" This description made Delphinium's heart skip a beat.
After taking a look at Delphinium, the golden-green cat-eye lowered its eyes again and looked at the notebook in its hand and said:
"His code name was 'Tumi'. He joined the investigation team of Binhai City. He encountered a high-ranking person from the Black Dawn and got into a tough fight. In the end, he died while covering the rear."
Chapter 94 End of call
2023-04-30
Delphinium's hands clenched slightly, but there was no unnecessary expression on her face: "What is Black Cinder Dawn?"
"That's exactly the second thing I want to tell you. There are two groups of people who attacked your Fangting City this time. One of them is the 'Claw Mark' composed of rebellious magical girls. The other is the organization called Black Embers Dawn."
The blonde girl on the other side of the mirror said calmly, "Based on the investigation over the past two years, we can basically confirm one thing. The organization called Black Dawn was involved in the attack on Magical Girl Sakura."
"Who are they?"
"A group of people who think they can overthrow the magical kingdom."
There was no emotion in the words of the golden green cat-eye, but Delphinium could sense a hint of contempt: "It is composed of a group of material world magicians who are not satisfied with the status quo and radical enemies in the intermediate world."
Hearing this, Delphinium fell into a brief silence.
Two years did not cool the fire of hatred in her heart. Hearing the name of her enemy and the news of Tumi's death added fuel to the flames.
She was not actually familiar with Tumi. After all, she retired too early, so early that she had never fought with Tumi. She had no idea what kind of magical girl Tumi was, what kind of fighting she was good at, and what her fighting style was.
They only knew each other because of Anya, and they were each other's seniors and juniors. In fact, the other party could only be considered Anya's teammates.
However, the other party had embarked on this dangerous road in order to investigate Anya's death, and now he has really paid with his life for it, which made her feel a little upset.
She suddenly remembered the beast she had killed a few days ago, which was said to have come from the Black Dawn and was transformed from a human.
Simply tearing the beast in half seemed too gentle.
Delphinium thought silently.
However, since they were still in a formal conversation, she had to suppress her emotions and continued to ask calmly, "...What about the others from Fangting City?"
She had long been accustomed to repression and silence. She would not show her anger towards her enemies in front of anyone, simply because this was not the occasion for an outburst.
“The others are still in office.”
As if not noticing Delphinium's emotional fluctuations, Golden Green Cat Eyes flipped through the notebook in his hand and closed it: "Regarding Tumi's sacrifice, colleagues in the Investigation Institute also feel sad for her. It's just that the Demonic Affairs Institute is in charge of the sacrifice subsidy, and the Demonic Affairs Institute's efficiency... It's a pity, you know, we can only describe it as 'regrettable'."
Delphinium nodded expressionlessly.
As the only authority that has not yet been assigned the jeweled scepter, the Magical Court, which is nominally directly under the Queen, is actually the most free and undisciplined. Most of the magical girls working in it are natives of the country, or veterans who have joined the country and have been away from the front line for many years. These people are extremely lazy in their work and have always been the object of contempt by the magical girls of the other four courts.
Putting the matter of the Demonic Court aside, there is also a big question mark as to whether Golden Green Cat's Eyes is really sad about Tumi's "sacrifice" as she said.
Because everyone who knows Golden Green Cat's Eye actually has a consensus, which is: no one knows what her real thoughts are.
As the jewel scepter that has been in power for more than a hundred years, the Golden Green Cat's Eye's past has been firmly in her hands. After sitting in this position, she has never clearly expressed her attitude towards anything.
This is one of the reasons why Delphinium doesn't like to deal with it.
"Besides the matters of your juniors, there is also your companion, Miss Margaret, who has recently been promoted to the karuta and is widely expected to become the new inspector."
Seeing that Cuiqiao didn't say anything, the blonde girl opposite the mirror suddenly added: "When she was conducting a solo investigation mission in another place, she somehow found out about what happened in your Fangting City, so she applied to me for a transfer to Fangting City..."
Delphinium shook her head grimly.
"That's good. It looks like my decision was correct."
The golden-green cat narrowed its eyes and lowered its voice: "It seems that you really don't want to see her."
"If possible, I don't wish to see any 'old friends' at this stage, Dean."
Forced to respond, Delphinium said helplessly, "Same for Margaret."
"Then I'll follow your advice."
Nodding somewhat noncommittally, the golden-green cat-eye seemed to have finished what he wanted to say, and put the notebook in his hand aside: "So, since I can see you appear in front of me as a magical girl again, does it mean that you have already thought about what to do next?"
“…I know, I’m ready.”
Delphinium said softly, "But I still have to stay in this city for a while. Because the magical girls in Fangting City have been cut off. Before that day comes, I still need to train new people."
"I think Miss Margaret can help you with the training of new people." The golden-green cat's eyes said meaningfully.
"Forget it. If she knew that I'm making a comeback, there would probably be a lot of trouble." Cuique shook her head stubbornly.
"You should know that the Investigation Institute is always the most informed. If she is willing to investigate, she will always know the news of Fangting City."
The other party's words made Delphinium remain silent because she knew they were all facts.
"Okay, then let me confirm one last time. You still plan to stay in Fangting City and have no intention of going to the country. You also don't want more people to know about your comeback, right?" Seeing that Delphinium still didn't answer, Golden Green Cat's Eye didn't repeat it anymore and gently changed the subject.
"Yes."
"That's all, the purpose of this conversation has been achieved."
The blonde girl narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "You can end the call, Miss Delphinium."
"Greetings to you, Your Excellency the Dean."
Delphinium nodded, then reached out and touched the gem on the top of the magic mirror. After a surge of magic power, the image on the mirror gradually began to become blurred.
——"But there is one last thing I need to remind you of."
