Chapter 60: Behind the Scenes
Hearing Harvey's reminder, Givens hurried to the fence, and in front of his eyes, more sloth dolphins disappeared, and it seemed that the summoners of that world began to summon sloth dolphins.
An inexplicable impulse surged into Jiwen's heart. Even if there is only one summoner who can believe the words on the nameplate and bring the news to Sodima's summoning academy, he can turn the current unfavorable situation and fight for a chance for Adella.
He still remembered the smug face of the Archon when Adella was captured. He remembered the haughty female elf looking at him with disdain as he faded away.
She must have thought that as long as Adelia couldn't summon herself, she couldn't interfere with what she did.
But she was wrong!
Givens is now convinced that he will be able to break the gap between the two worlds, expose the conspiracy of the archon Midharya, and prove Adella's innocence.
At the same time, it was an ordinary morning in the Solland Kingdom, but in the summoning classes throughout the Solland Kingdom, countless unbelievable things happened.
In a small town in the northern part of the kingdom, an old pedant who has been hopeless for many years has been staring at a group of children with excitement after demonstrating how to summon a sloth dolphin. He didn't have time to look at the inscription on the metal piece, but immediately took the sloth dolphin to the local academic committee, insisting that this was a new species he had summoned, called the armored sloth dolphin, and rushed out a new paper overnight, trying to submit it to the Royal Summoning Academy in the royal capital.
In a simple classroom in a remote mountainous area in the eastern part of the kingdom, the only teacher suddenly announced the end of class calmly after demonstrating the summoning of sloth dolphins to the children in the mountains. When the children happily ran outside to play, the elf summoned the apprentice who had been in the mountains for half his life, stuffed the sloth dolphin into his robe and brought home. He saw the inscription on the metal plaque, but he felt that there was no need to send it back. After all, Sodima is too far away, and the road is too hard. And the material of this metal piece is actually priceless purple gold. Even if he doesn't want to give a gift, he only needs to be this purple gold medal, he can cure his family's illness, and he can also leave his descendants a life of food and clothing. When he buried the purple gold piece in the hollow of his house's tree, he sincerely thanked Elder Curzon for holding the lottery and wished him the blessing of the Elven Light.
In a small town near Sodima, Bacon, a private tutor, is taking lessons at the home of a well-known local elf, who is going to teach several of the family's children summoning magic. Of course, the first lesson was to summon the sloth dolphin, a summoning technique he had performed many times. Just as he summoned the sloth dolphin as usual, he was surprised to find that the sloth dolphin was carrying a metal plaque with an inscription on its back. Bacon read the text carefully, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. It was a magic lottery from Sodima's Summoning Academy, and fate actually allowed itself to get this opportunity.
As a regular third-order summoner who grew up in a small town, Bacon had always dreamed of having the opportunity to enter the Sodima Summoning Academy for further study, but his family background could not provide him with the financial resources to study. But now, that dream is finally possible.
Immediately after class, Bacon hired a carriage and rushed to the city. After three hours of trekking and waiting, he finally came to Elder Curzon.
Today, Elder Curzon looked very bad because he found out that Adelia was missing.
Although he specifically instructed the dormitory and guards of the academy to keep an eye on Adella's whereabouts, and even set up magic markers in front of Adella's door, Adella still disguised herself, climbed out of the dormitory through the window, and then slipped out quietly.
Elder Curzon didn't know where she was now, let alone if she was in danger.
This mistake made Elder Curzon very anxious and restless, and his career that he had persisted in for decades had made such a big mistake.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there are no signs of demon invasion or fighting in Adella's room, at least it means that Adella was not captured.
When the assistant introduced Bacon into Elder Curzon's office, Elder Curzon looked impatiently at the strange young man. He planned to send him away quickly, and then hurry to find Adella.
Bacon saw that the most prestigious summoner in the city was in front of him, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak.
Seeing the young man's cramped appearance, Curzon had to ask.
"Is there anything please?" Mr. Bacon?"
Bacon grew more and more nervous, and he struggled to recall the joint code words on the nameplate, and then tried to repeat them. Unfortunately, the tense nerves confused his memory, he confused a few word orders, and then said in a panic: "In Enya's villa, the consul captured Adella. ”
As soon as Bacon's words fell, Elder Curzon stood up as if struck by lightning, and asked in a loud voice, "What you said is true?"
Elder Curzon's reaction was beyond Bacon's expectations, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak, so he had to pull out the inscription and explain it in a hurry.
Elder Curzon also noticed that he was a little out of shape, he immediately hid his surprise, and then walked over to the young man with a smile, quietly took the inscription card, glanced at it twice, and immediately understood.
This is someone secretly reporting to himself, although he doesn't know who he is, he must be a friend who has the same will as the children of the silver moon. But before you can go out and find someone to help, you have to deal with this messenger who is kept in the dark.
"Congratulations, young man, you're the object of magic. Curzon said vaguely, and then pondered what kind of thank you gift to prevaricate the bacon.
"Thank you, thank you. Bacon, who had been standing aside, finally came to his senses, and he quickly explained, "Elder Curzon, I don't want that thanksgiving gift, and I beg you to exchange the reward for an opportunity to study, for it has always been my long-cherished wish. ”
When Curzon heard this, he was immediately relieved. He immediately walked back to his desk, scribbled a note, and stuffed it into Bacon's hand.
"Young man, now that you are an auditor specially recruited by the academy, you take the note and go to the deacon, and he will solve the rest of the problems for you. ”
Bacon took the note and thanked Elder Curzon excitedly. Curzon returned the salute with a polite salute, and immediately left the office and hurried to the door of the Summoning Academy.
He now had to quickly contact the former head of the Summoning Academy, Elder Pasani, the tribune, and then go to the Consulate to meet with Archon Midoria and ask him to release him.
At the beginning of the night, the city hall of Sodima City was still busy. Archon Midoria was busy dealing with the matters leading up to the arrival of the Royal Summoning Academy's inspection team. The Royal Calling Academy's inspection was originally an academic activity, which was initially undertaken by the local calling colleges, but as the significance of this inspection became more and more significant, whether or not a child could be admitted was related to the fate of the political families in various places for hundreds of years in the future, so this activity was gradually managed by the local consuls themselves.
The tour was supposed to arrive in Sodima five days later, but it was delayed by a day in the previous regional capital due to an incident, so it was about six days later.
Midoria quickly signed her name on the official documents of the lodging place, the examination venue and the reception staff, and stamped it with the seal of the consul. Just when she thought that today's work had been completed, she suddenly found an attendant running in in a hurry.
"Something's wrong, so panicked. Midoria asked.
"Elder Pasani, the tribune, and Elder Curzon of the Summoning Academy asked for an audience together. ”
Midoriya was shocked, but she still pretended to be calm on her face, and commanded in a low voice, "Please ask the two elders to come in." ”
Looking at the back of the departing squire, the archon Midoria guessed in puzzlement.
The two elders must have come together for a trivial matter. Is it for Adelia's girl? But how did they know the news so quickly, it couldn't be!
Mitoraya did not expect that the outcome of this meeting would be far beyond her imagination.
Curzon and Passani not only knew that they had detained Adella, but they even knew that the location was the secret villa of the Enya family. The tribune even sent people to and from the place with the fastest unicorns, and managed to get some testimonies from the locals.
Faced with the momentum of the two elders who swore not to give up, Midor had to give in slightly and admit the fact of arresting Adelia, but when she still wanted to continue to insist on arresting Adelia for the sake of the case.
The tribune interrupted her again.
"Midhoria, even if Adella is the murderer of others, then this is the job of the sheriffs, and there has never been an example of a consul holding a prisoner privately. When the Royal Summoning Academy's inspection team was about to arrive, the archon made such a move, which inevitably made others have bad suspicions. Whether public or private, the archons should hand over Adelia to the sheriffs to deal with. ”
Curzon was silent at the moment, but his expression was wordless, suggesting that if Midoria rejected Elder Passani's suggestion, he would take more powerful measures to force him to abandon his detention of Adelia.
Midoria took a deep breath, still not letting go, and she tried to delay the time a little with a high-sounding word. But Elder Passani was unmoved, and directly asked, "Midharya, we are now discussing in private. If you insist on privately seizing an elf who has not been arrested by the sheriff, then I have to use the powers of the tribune publicly. ”
In the elven world, the tribune could resist the archon's illegitimate or unpopular executive orders, and if the tribune chose to use this power, he would also have to report the events to the royal capital. For hundreds of years, there have been very few tribunes who have used all their strength to resist, and once such an incident occurs, the royal capital's reputation and governance skills of the local consuls will be greatly reduced, and Midor Ya must weigh the consequences and poke this matter out, whether it is cost-effective for herself.
It was at this moment that Elder Curzon finally joined the conversation: "Moreover, you are detaining a student, and detaining the students of the Summoning Academy without notification will greatly affect the independence and reputation of the Academy, and I have to report this matter to the Royal Academic Council. ”
Elder Curzon quietly added Elder Passani's words. In fact, so far Curzon has not used his hole cards, and if he is forced to do so, even if he uses the relationship of the little prince Zhuo Enmi, he will get Adelia out.
In the end, Midoria temporarily gave in under the pressure, and after thinking about the work of tea, she finally picked up the pen,
Sign a release order, inform the sheriffs to take Adelia away, and place her in a city jail.
When the two elders left satisfied, the archon Midoria could no longer hold back the pent-up anger.
She took a huge risk, carefully prepared plan, and in less than two days it was completely ruined.
The girl named Adella was out of her grip again. The sheriff has many friends with the tribunes, and Adelia herself has personal relationships with many of the sheriffs, and if they use the tribune's operation and Curzon's help, they will definitely be able to get Adella out of prison before the Royal Call Academy inspection team arrives. And her hard work was completely in vain.
Seven days, as long as this secret is kept for another seven days, his daughter Tini can easily get the first place in the selection exam, and she may be able to figure out the conspiracy that Curzon is trying to hide.
Why did this news leak out so quickly!
Even the people of Enya's family didn't know about taking Adelia away, and the only maid who knew about it was brought back to Sodima by herself, and only her own guards were left present.
Who, exactly, leaked the news to the tribune and Curzon!
Midoria held her head with both hands, but she couldn't figure it out. Eventually, she jerked the decorations and documents on her desk to the ground. The cacophony was visible all the way to the courtyard outside the hallway.
