Chapter Thirty-Eight: Seeking the Help of Old Man Duru
Early the next morning, Ives confessed to Mr. Lev, took a leave of absence for himself, and rushed to Quentin Academy as fast as he could.
"What, old man Duru, you're going to 'Setia' in two days?"
Avis looked at the long-bearded old man across from him in surprise.
"Don't you know? The date of this trip to 'Setia' was not arranged by our Academy, but set by Charles III. Look at your surprise, you're two days away!"
Dean Duru took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
"What the hell is going on? Why is this all of a sudden?"
Avis asked, an inexplicable uneasiness lingering in his heart for a moment.
"How do I know? I'm not a king. By the way, the Livonian side will probably send a magician as well. This is the first time that the three faculties have participated in an extracurricular practice together. If you kid wants to shine, this is a great opportunity. ”
Duru looked at Avis and said with a smile.
"Old man Dulu, I want to discuss and help you with something today. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Avis still picked out the topic, after all, he didn't care about the "Setia" site during today's visit.
After all, this place is frequented by magicians every year, but this year there are just a little more people.
"Seeing that you came here in a hurry today, you know that something is wrong, let's say!
Duru pushed a cup of tea in front of Avis and said with a bright smile.
"Can you lend me 4 gold coins? No, 5 is the best. ”
Avis said directly, he and the Elder of the Phurea Alliance had never said anything politely.
"Yes, pay me back within a year, and you need to sign an IOU. And then can you tell me, what's the use?"
Durroux hesitated slightly, he didn't expect that little Avis had come to borrow money this time.
5 gold coins, not a small amount of money. That's enough for a fairly solid civilian family for a few years.
But for the son of the patriarch of a tribe, it is not an astronomical amount.
"Thank you! I'll tell you when I have the chance. ”
Ives got up and bowed to Dean Duru, and sure enough, as expected, Old Man Duru was still quite happy to do things.
"Okay, then I'll go get a pen and paper and a gold coin. ”
After about ten minutes, the two of them completed the loan transaction in the most efficient way.
After carefully checking the authenticity and purity of the gold coin, Ives finally calculated a matter of concern, and planned to go to the "old handkerchief" to settle the pistol money after a while.
"By the way, old man Duru, there are two things I want to ask you. If there's anything secret, you don't have to answer me. ”
Avis carefully put the gold in place, carefully wrapped it in a pocket that had been prepared long ago, and hung it on the belt tucked into his clothes.
"Oh, you ask, what is the strange law of the elements, or is it a rare material ratio?"
Duru came to his senses in an instant, and this delving into magical problems often appeared between him and Avis.
It is undeniable that the young man Ives is indeed a magician, and many wild ideas often benefit Duru a lot.
"It's not the problem this time. Avis scratched his head, then picked up the tea in front of him and swallowed it. "Do you know of a place called 'Deer Hall'?"
"Well, did you see Mr. Reindeer? Did he ask you anything?"
Duru didn't expect that the "Viper" national teacher, who liked to make some strange identities, would come to see little Ives in the name of Mr. "Reindeer".
It seems that he was right, the "Viper" guy was worried about the matter of the Star Shine Stone, but he didn't go directly to Little Avis, but used the method of knocking on the side like this to test the little magician.
"Oh, you know him, how is he a person, is he reliable?"
Ives was not surprised that Duru knew the mysterious Mr. Reindeer. If it was a mysterious person that even Duru didn't know, then he didn't plan to have a deep relationship with him anymore, and completely broke off the idea of going to that place called "Deer Hall".
"Let's put it this way, I am more ruthless! But the credibility of speaking is still very high. But I don't recommend that you have long-term contact with him. ”
Durrou Randolph did not directly reveal the true identity of Mr. "Reindeer", after all, the other party neither had the idea of harming Little Avis, nor did he take the initiative to reveal his identity, so he was too lazy to get involved.
"Okay, thank you so much for the suggestion!"
Ives bowed to the learned old man again, and since Durroux was talking about avoiding long-term contact, it meant that there was not much danger, and that he was a man who could be trusted for the time being.
Anyway, I don't make friends with this Mr. Reindeer, so I just go to a practice ground and shoot a few pistols.
"That's right, little one. The student captain of our college this time is my granddaughter. You kid have to behave well, I'm still very optimistic about you. ”
For no reason, Duru smiled at the thought of his granddaughter, and then teased Ives kindly.
But what Duru didn't expect was that Ives showed neither excitement nor serious nervousness.
"Little one, you still have something on your mind!? Tell me and see if I can help you?"
Duru patted Avis, who was still in a daze, and said.
"Old man Duru, there's something I don't know to tell me to, and you may think I'm just dreaming after listening to it. But that dream is really too real. ”
After thinking about it for a long time, and after thoroughly balancing the pros and cons, Ives decided to talk about the "door", but to describe it in the most reasonable way.
"I had a very strange dream! Old man Duru, do you know the 'door'?"
......
"Bang Bang!"
It's hard to imagine that there is any topic that can make a powerhouse of the Purple Underworld drop the teapot in the center of his hand to the ground in surprise.
"What do you say? Do you know the door? Have you seen the door?"
In just an instant, Dean Duru quickly got up, and then with a wave of his right hand, an invisible wall of air wrapped Ives and himself together, a level 2 soundproof magic.
Obviously, this incident made the powerful Duru Randolph feel incredulous and did not want anyone else to know.
"Yes, I saw a very large red 'door' in my dream!"
"Is it on?"
"Nope!"
"Is there something going on around it?"
"There were colorful meteorites that landed and smashed on this door. ”
"Anything else?"
"No more!"
A hurried conversation unfolds between Ives and Duru.
Ives had no idea that this topic would make Duru appear so gaffe.
In his impression, this powerful magician, even in the powerful Phettia Alliance, had never been in such a panicked state as he was now.
"Can you tell me, what the hell is the door? You obviously know something. ”
Ives asked tentatively, he really wanted to know, what the hell was the door?
Because of the task given to him by his kendo system, there was no detail, which made Ives really at a loss.
After thinking about it for a long time, Duru still didn't unlock the soundproofing magic.
"I don't know, but the word 'door' appears in a book.
I don't know if the 'door' you see is the same as I thought.
But at this juncture, someone can see the 'door'.
What does this mean? Coincidence?
No way!
I have to go back to Phettia once!"
Duru said to Avis, but seemed to be muttering to himself, and then without saying hello, he frantically rushed out of the room, and looked at Avis, who was still on the sidelines, dumbfounded.
"Little Avis, I'll go out first. Don't tell anyone about this 'door', I'll go and confirm it for you. "Du Lu, who is in a hurry, can you see that he is already an old man.
Just as Duru Randolph was about to leave the room, he suddenly turned to Avis.
"Don't say anything about anyone, especially Mr. Reindeer!"
