Chapter Eighty-Five: Joffrey's Scheme
In the ward of the Second Magic Academy of the Hawke Empire, if it is common sense, how can there be wounded in the ward of the school that has just opened?But at this time, Innellis is an exception, now she has regained consciousness under the care of Erin, and the little girl is obediently lying on the hospital bed listening to Annelot's preaching. On the other side, Erin was dealing with her own medical equipment, and it seemed that she had just changed the medicine for Innellis.
"You scared the hell out of me that night. Anne Lott still has some palpitations. This was inevitable, after all, she had only taken a walk after dinner, only to find Iniris lying on the cold ground coughing up blood, and even about to die. Anyone who thinks about this kind of thing will feel scared, right?
"yes, I was shocked that day, too!" said Erin as she changed the dressing for Inniles, "You don't know the look on Brother Regner's face when he found me, he crashed straight into the glass wall of the restaurant, and he even had to save time walking through the door. He was really crazy that day. ”
"Hehe, I just wanted to try it......" Iniris stretched out her hand and scratched her little head, although the expression on her face was a little embarrassed, and even a little painful because of the change of dressing. But in fact, in her heart, Inilis was very happy. Because both Annelot, Erin and Regner were very worried about themselves, and after an injury to prove it again, Inelis unexpectedly felt that it was worth it.
"Ini. Annelot's expression changed, she looked at Innellis seriously and said, "After this incident, you must have learned a little lesson, right?"
"Well, Ini knows it's wrong, and for spells that she is not familiar with, Innie will definitely not use them again in the future. Innellis replied duplicitously, although she almost lost her life this time, but Inilis was surprisingly not afraid at all. She just felt anxious, anxious that she couldn't do well enough.
Magic, what kind of twists and turns did she go through to gain power? Now that Innellis has finally acquired the ability to free herself from the definition of "useless little girl", how can she not hold on to it? Even if she takes a little risk, even if she is injured a little, but Enilis doesn't care, the only thing she wants to do is to do something for Regner.
Now Inellis is not worried about being abandoned by Regner because she is useless or because she has not responded to Regner's efforts. Because she still understands that this is impossible. But she still wanted to be a useful person, and she still wanted to help Regner. Why? No reason! No reason! Innellis just wanted to do it, she didn't know why, but she just wanted to do it. It doesn't matter if you take some risks to do so.
Annelot looked at Innellis's expression and knew that there was no truth in her promise at all. But there is nothing she can do now, what can she do? Is it possible to abolish Iniris's magic? The only feasible thing to do is to destroy Inriris's spiritual domain, isn't that equivalent to killing her?
"It seems that I can only take care of her a little more in the future......" Anne Lott didn't say anything more to Innilys, she just sat secretly in her heart: "I still need to explain to Regna in the future, that guy should understand the importance of restraining Innie after what happened that night." And Irene, she will also work at the academy, and let her take care of Inni more in the future. ”
Anne Lott considered it carefully, and then secretly wrote down the matter in her heart. She looked at the magic clock in the room and saw that it was already noon.
Just as Anne Lot was about to go back, Regner came to the hospital room.
"......" Anne Lott gave him a blank look, and then prepared to leave without saying hello.
"Wait, Anne, there's something I need to discuss with you. Regner's face looked very solemn at this time, and he added, "It has something to do with what happened to Innie that night." ”
"What's wrong?" Anne Lott didn't want to pay attention to Regner, but when she heard the last sentence, she chose to stay.
"It just so happens that Ini and Erin are also there, so let's discuss it together. Regner looked at the other two, and then said bluntly, "That Hoffman has been found." ”
"What about people?" Annelot's eyes flashed with danger, although the direct cause of Inilis's injury was her reckless attempt at supermagic techniques, but the root cause was that the guy named Hoffman challenged Iniris and ...... Regna irresponsibly instigated Innellis to accept the challenge.
"He's dead......" Regner whispered.
Anne Lott was slightly surprised when she heard this, but after hearing this, she also understood that this time things might be a little strange, so the Frost Maiden waved her hand to prop up a soundproof barrier in the room, and then said, "Go on." ”
"This morning, a village vendor who was on his way to Merlindel to buy goods was urinating on the side of the road...... "Ragner said at this point, and it suddenly became clear that it was not appropriate to say that kind of word in front of the three girls.
"Tell the point!" Anne Lott was furious.
"Good...... Regna curled his neck, and he continued, "The vendor is here...... In that ...... He smelled a foul smell, and then he searched out of curiosity, and then found a corpse. ”
"If it were the usual thing, it would not be strange to find a corpse in this chaotic world. Regner continued: "But he saw that the guy was dressed luxuriously, so he finally chose to report the matter to the city guards of the imperial capital, and finally it was verified that that the man was Hoffman who disappeared a few days ago." ”
"......" Anne Lott frowned, then asked, "Has Joffrey admitted anything by now?"
"Nope. Regner shook his head: "Even if the body was found, he still said he didn't know anything about it. ”
"So has Hoffman's identity been figured out?" Annielot then asked, "Since he is a student of the First Academy of Magic, then Hoffman at least has a certain identity background, right?
"Nope. Regner shook his head, "Joffrey refuses to divulge anything about Hoffman, and so far I have found no nobleman who has been furious about this Hoffman's disappearance. ”
"Hmph, it's like it!" said Annelot, sneering.
"It's Joffrey's trick. Regner knew what Anne Lot meant. She was talking about Joffrey's pretending to be true.
The reason is actually not complicated: first of all, the enrollment purpose of the First Academy of Magic is to only have rich and powerful people. And now that Hoffman's death has not caused any dissatisfaction among any big people in the Hawke Empire, then there are two possibilities, one is that Hoffman was recruited by Joffrey to the First Academy of Magic in his personal name. The other is that the forces behind Hoffman are extremely secretive and powerful, and even the military intelligence department can't find out too much. Obviously, the possibility of the latter is almost zero.
Therefore, this Hoffman is likely to be a pawn that Joffrey himself placed in the First Academy of Magic.
And his purpose should not be difficult to guess, with Joffrey's small-bellied chicken intestines, he was torn off a leg by Kordak and naturally had to find a way to retaliate. However, Kordaq was saved by the agreement between Manhattan and Ralvin, so who should bear the anger of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince? Naturally, Regner, who is closest to Kordak, should bear it.
So what's the best way to get revenge on Regner? Seeing that this guy doesn't allow anyone to touch those women like a wild dog that guards his food, Joffrey can understand how to make Regner miserable, even the most idiot.
And the two magic schools have close communication with each other, even the mid-term and final exams of each semester are held together. And the content of the exam is usually conducted in a duel-like manner. Then as Joffrey only needs to move a little more, it will not be difficult for the designated two people to face off. When the time comes...... It's hard to say what will happen during the showdown.
So, Regner understood all of this on the way here. It was nothing more than a premeditated revenge on Regner by Joffrey, and the reason why Hoffman showed up that night. It should be to make a feud with Iniris in an unexpected way first, and it is not difficult to understand that he will be killed in the exam duel at that time.
But neither Hoffman nor Joffrey expected that Iniris's attitude towards magic would be so radical that she would even dare to unleash unfamiliar supermagic techniques at will. As a result, the planned small friction turned into a major event that nearly killed Innellis.
Moreover, Regner guessed that even if things went according to Joffrey's plan, in the end Hoffman would not be able to escape the fate of being secretly executed. This accident only hastened Hoffman's death. The only difference is that Enerys escaped being killed because of a recklessness, although this time the situation was thrilling enough.
"And what are you going to do?" asked Annelot, although her memory was not very clear, but Annelot thought that if it was this guy's character, after knowing that someone wanted to be bad for Innilis, he would probably blush and kill that guy first, right?
"Now that Joffrey has made a move, I can't afford not to take it. Regner's eyes flashed a little fiercely: "He wants to take Ini's life, then I will take everything from him!"
"You're going to ......," said Annelot, hesitantly, feeling something bad at all.
"I'm going to help Alexander!" Regner lowered his voice despite Annelot's mute barrier, and said, "I'm going to make Alexander the heir to the throne!"
"You ......" Annelot's heart tightened for no reason, because of the loss of her memory, that Alexander was almost like a complete stranger to her. But even so, when Regner said that she was going to side with Alexander, she still felt that something was wrong.
But Anne Lott had no reason, so the Frost Maiden could only forcibly put down the strange feeling in her heart.
"Whether it's against Alfred or Jooffrey, I need an ally, and Alexander is a bit more to my taste. Regner pondered for a moment and then said, "But for now, I think it's best to have a 'friendly exchange' with Joffrey." ”
