Chapter 29: Risking Death to Leak Secrets
"Elder Karl, your old friend, Headmaster Mani, would rather offend the entire council than protect Chen Feng to the death, and I think you must be puzzled by this. β
Cruise reached out and took off his hat, pretending to approach Karl Ge Elder mysteriously, and whispered, "If you are interested, then I am willing to tell you why. β
"Oh, could it be that you still know some unknown inside story? Yes, after all, you are the tutor of the Shenglan Magic Academy, and the wind and grass in the academy can't hide from your eyes, if you are willing to say, then I don't mind hearing it. β
This whole thing is indeed very strange, and Karl Ge Lao has never been able to figure it out.
How could a mere slave get the attention of Headmaster Mani?, and at great risk, he applied for the position of assistant teacher in the Holy Temple, so that he could enjoy the double protection of the Pope and the Academy.
Even Princess Leah, who has royal blood, is not eligible for this honor.
"This nobleman of Gladstone ......"
"He's not Gladstone's own nephew, and although that's what the file says, I'm pretty sure the identity is fictitious. β
Before Cruise could finish his words, he was interrupted by Elder Karl, "The city lord of Gladstone acquiesced to Chen Feng's identity, most likely because he wanted to conceal the incident that happened in the Mitchell defense line and Laika Town half a month ago. β
"I'm still curious! Gladstone, who has always resisted divine power, is willing to send a family member to the Shenglan Academy of Magic to cultivate?"
Cruise was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Gladstone is at odds with King Monty, and he wants to send a deep thunder mage to the royal city...... Rebellion!"
"Don't talk nonsense, beware of the ears on the wall. β
Karl Court always called Cruise off, and issues involving national politics were not allowed to be discussed casually.
When he picked up a cup of tea and put it to his lips, suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he asked with a slight hesitation, "What do you mean by talking about thunder magicians just now?"
Thunder, this word, Carl hasn't heard anyone mention it for a long time.
In the kingdom of Monti, thunder and lightning are forbidden words, and they are divine powers bestowed by the gods, symbolizing supreme divine power and royal power, and they are not allowed to talk about it casually.
Currently, only the Pope and the King have the ability to control thunder and lightning.
"Yes, do you remember the incident when the two evil dragons attacked the royal city ten years ago? that evil dragon was not destroyed, but has been sealed in the forbidden area of the mountain behind the Shenglan Magic Academy. β
"I was also a participant back then, I know these things better than you, don't beat around the bush, let's get to the point. β
"But that evil dragon died unexpectedly some time ago, how did he die? I haven't seen this process with my own eyes, but I can guarantee that it must have something to do with Chen Feng, because there are only him and the evil dragon who has been killed at the scene.
It was I who threw him stunned to the bottom of the cliff with my own hands, and I was wanted by the Shenglan Academy of Magic, and it was precisely because of this incident.
Afterwards, Principal Mani tried to subdue Chen Feng and trap him with water-based tentacles, but as soon as the water curtain touched his magic weapon, the principal fell into the wind and almost died violently, the power was terrifying, like thunder and lightning. β
Cruise recounted the whole process to Elder Karl Gorgh in detail.
"Things are getting more and more interesting, if what you say is true, I can immediately report to the Pope and ask him to send a high-level magician to suppress it, after all, lightning magicians, if not used properly, are prone to cause trouble. β
Elder Karl GΓΆ let out a light sigh, "But only if you have to provide enough evidence. β
"These things, please rest assured that I will solve them, my mentor medal has not been revoked, and I can still rely on it to infiltrate the Shenglan Magic Academy, as long as Chen Feng is forced to use the power of thunder and lightning, I can use the mirror image to record the whole process, this is the most perfect evidence." β
"What do you want?" said Elder Kargel, looking up at Cruise.
If you want to make a person feel at ease, you must first know his motives.
"When this is done, please exonerate me from my charges and transfer me from the Shenglan Academy of Magic to serve in the council. β
"No problem, I can promise you these conditions now. The elder flicked his sleeves and granted Cruise's request.
"Thank you, Elder Ge!"
After receiving Carl's promise, Cruise puts on his hat and disappears into the night.
After Cruise left, Chilian dared to walk in respectfully with a tea tray, "Elder Ge, the new tea that has just been brewed, I didn't dare to send it in for fear of disturbing your deliberations." β
"Let it go, you can go back to the Shenglan Magic Academy to attend classes with peace of mind, Chen Feng's matter, you don't need to interfere in the future, and you are not allowed to mention it to outsiders again. β
"Got it, Elder Ge. β
Red Chain returned to the Shenglan Academy of Magic overnight, but instead of going back to her dormitory, she went straight to the tutor's residence.
Knock knock!
Red Chain knocked softly on the door, and looked warily at the next building, which was Griffin's residence, and he had been temporarily transferred by Principal Mani to deal with some urgent matters, and he could not return home for the time being.
"Who?" Chen Feng asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Red Chain!"
After hearing that it was the sound of the red chain, Chen Feng opened the door, let her in, looked around, and after making sure that no one was following, he locked the door from the inside.
"You're crazy, this is the apartment of the tutor and the teaching assistant, and there will inevitably be the guilt of the old Carl Pavilion around, if you are seen, then you will be miserable. β
"There's urgent information, so I don't care about it so much. β
Chilian patted his chest for a few seconds, and hurriedly said: "Just now, Cruise sneaked into the council and talked secretly with Elder Karl in the room for more than two hours.
Controlling thunder and lightning is no small matter, once you have enough evidence, you can apply to the Pope to take you back to the Holy Temple for trial, and once you are tried, it will be difficult to leave alive. β
"Well, I know all about it, I'll be careful. β
Chen Feng nodded thoughtfully, "But why are you helping me? There is no benefit at all, and there is a possibility of losing your life." β
"Although you set me free, I swore with my life to the Pope that I must keep the agreement, and from now on, you and I will be clear, and when we meet again, I will stand by the old Karl Court, and I will not be polite to you at all. β
Red Chain is a fervent theocracy who pursues the divine will of the Pope.
There were very few lies in the kingdom of Monti, and everyone feared the theocracy, believing that man was watching God, but all the oaths made must be kept according to the agreement.
"To be on the safe side, let's stay here until dawn before leaving. β
"No, being in the same room with men and women will ruin my innocence. Red Chain pushed the door and left, taking advantage of the cover of night, and hurried to his apartment.
But in the grove outside the apartment, a strange black shadow flickered by, silently following behind Red Chain.
