463 Step-by-step
"Perhaps...... Divination?"
Brutus made a bold proposal, but it was also a reasonable proposal in the midst of a mystery, and even Robben, who had a mixed sense of divination about the ashes, agreed.
His eyes fell on Holden, but he didn't expect that Holden, who had always shown great enthusiasm for ash divination, shook his head and rejected the proposal, "This is not appropriate." β
"Why?" Brutus blurted out of confusion, only to realize that he was a little impatient, and looked around to make sure that he had not attracted unnecessary attention, and only then settled down a little, but the confusion was still not answered.
Instead of continuing to sell off, or deliberately lowering his voice, Hoden threw a bombshell in his usual tone, "I suspect that ash divination may be related to evil gods, and if we use it frequently, we may eventually lose our minds." β
Demon?
Neither Brutus nor Robben had a very good face. They didn't know much about the evil gods, but a half-claw was enough.
"Do you remember our second divination at the Lei family? I passed out directly, and the coldness and weirdness of the divination process can also explain a lot. "Holden didn't go into the details, but these few words were enoughβ
"Circle!" Brutus had already reacted, and Hoden had suspected that the circle of ash divination might be hiding secrets, and now it seems that the relevant secrets are likely to be closely related to the evil god.
Just by a possibility, Brutus could feel the cold sweat on his fingertips. Not only because of the ashes divination, but also because of the grandeur and enormity of the whole thing, they can now clearly feel the intricacies and fears behind the incident just by seeing the tip of the iceberg.
Hodden nodded his head in agreement, "I'm not sure if that's the guess is correct, and I don't have a lot of clues about the evil god right now, but you know, the evil god doesn't mind crushing a few ants to death. β
Brutus couldn't help pinching his fingers, "Fortunately, when I used divination with Ray in the past, the method was never accurate, otherwise it would have been ......"
I'm scared for a while.
"There's no divination, there's no need to worry. We have gone from ignorance to the present by relying not on uncertain prophets. Hodden smiled widely, and the appearance of a leisurely stroll was a bit ridiculous, especially since Thunder Peters had just left and the college was still filled with uneasiness, which was even more laughable in stark contrast.
As he spoke, Holden and his party came to the door of Professor Decimus's office, and Holden pushed open the office door with ease and entered it directly.
Brutus and Robben hesitated, "Isn't that good?"
Hoden didn't force either, "Then you guys wait here for a while, and I'll come out right away." β
Although Professor Desimas is informal, he should not mind such a trivial matter, but it is indeed inappropriate to trespass without asking his master's permission.
Hodden walked briskly into the office, successfully found the books on the shelves related to the psionic circle, and then left a pack of newly baked dried meat still in the tasting stage on Professor Decimas's desk, left a note, and turned away.
"Dear Professor Decimas,
This is Ms. Joanna's latest preserved meat, and we're still collecting feedback on how to adjust the spices and spices and the heat of the smoking. Feel free to leave your comments if you like, any form of comment is welcome, but if you don't like it, feel free to criticize it.
Waiting for your tasting.
Thank you very much!
Yours
Henden Harrow. β
A tasting is a fair excuse rather than a direct bribe β and Hoden does expect different feedback from different audiences, and Professor Decimus's advice from a foodie is invaluable.
Kill two birds with one stone.
As soon as Hodden came out, Brutus' eyes fell on the cover of the book, "It's faster than we thought, we thought it would take you some time." β
Holden generously showed the book to Brutus and Robben, "Last night, in the church, I saw a magic circle, I suspect it may be an index magic circle, but I'm not sure, so I need to check it further." Do you know anything about the Index Circle?"
Brutus shook his head, his eyes blank, and he also cast his gaze towards Robben, "What is the Index Circle?"
Robben also said he didn't understand.
Hodden is not surprised, it is because it is almost lost, so he needs to learn slowly, find the context in the long history of the accumulated dust, "If you are interested, I can explain it to you." β
Brutus immediately showed a look of admiration, looked left and right, and then realized that Thunderpeters was not there, and no one was discussing the psionic circle with Hoden.
"And now?" Robben asked.
"Lunch, of course," Holden said categorically.
Before Hodden could continue, Brutus's eyes brightened, and the two exchanged a "you know, I know" look, and then walked in the direction of the cafeteria in tacit understanding.
Robben, who was forgotten behind, was also surprised, and slowly fell behind, following the two friends in the direction of the cafeteria, which seemed to have become a daily routine.
"By the way, after tonight's class, I need you to look up the history of the Umani Church, and, Blue, I need you to help me look at some noble insignia, and explain the history of the nobility of the Empire, especially the current contradiction between the psionics and the technocracy. β
"Oh, why are you interested? It's a huge project. β
"Because there were twelve people in the basement last night, and then they all seemed to be nobles. β
β......β
β......β
Holdenyun lightly threw the bombshell again, and now Brutus and Robben were numb after the bombardment, and now they didn't seem to feel much surprise and dismay.
Robben's expression didn't change at all, and Brutus only paused slightly, "Ha, it's not unusual. "Even Count Gustav is already involved, what else is impossible?
"However, we may need Ray's help, and he still knows more than I do a lot of things. β
"It doesn't matter, let's take it one step at a time, he can hide today, but he can't hide tomorrow. β
Holden also knows that they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the more intricate the relationship, the more patience and care are needed, so there is no need to rush in a hurry, what they need to do is to follow the steps, and then the truth will gradually be revealed.
But Brutus is full of question marks, "...... That doesn't seem right here, right?"
Lunch.
Class.
Class.
Hodden continued to finish the day, and sure enough, rumors about the House of Knightmore were still buzzing, but no one could ever come to a conclusion, including the St. Crober College.
Until the sun set, no one could be sure what had happened, and whether or not the House of Knight's Moore had disappeared was still a question mark, and then the whole day went by. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
