Chapter 149: Criminals
Givens didn't know the itinerary of the King's Sword, he just avoided the few pedestrians and came to the place where he had agreed with Adelia. Because he was not familiar with the campus, he took a detour, and by the time he arrived, Adelia had been waiting there for a long time.
"How's it going?, have you found someone?" Adelia saw Given, who had quietly appeared in the dense woods, and quickly asked about cleaning up the building.
"It took a bit of a while, but now the office has promised to send someone to clean it up and fix it tomorrow. ”
"Great, I'm going to go back and talk to Professor Morris, or it might cause an accident. ”
After saying that, Adelia hurried back to the dilapidated laboratory building.
"Don't panic, I saw a lot of king's swords on the way, I don't know if it's related to you. Given's worriedness recounted what he had just seen.
But after listening to Jiwen's description, Adelia didn't care too much.
"I guess these king's swords have nothing to do with me. Adelia quietly lowered her voice again and said, "Today, the academy called us to a meeting to inform us that there was a recent bloody case on campus. The Provost tells us to keep an eye out for a humanoid monster with bronze skin, and she warns us not to risk the fight if we encounter it, but to flee immediately for help. These king's swords may have come for this purpose. ”
"Bronze skin?" Ji Wen was stunned, he knew that in the forbidden god space, the boy Hel, who had just joined the goblin shop, had that color skin.
"Do you know anything?" Adelia asked sensitively when she saw Jivan's expression.
"No, I just think this kind of skin is rare. Jiwen covered up in a panic. Adelia looked at him and didn't ask any more, just urged him to go with him and inform the professor about the repairs.
By this time, it was already completely dark. There were no pedestrians in sight on the campus except for the bluestone paved road, and Givens and Adelia took advantage of the cover of twilight to cross the campus smoothly and arrived in front of Professor Morris's laboratory building.
This time, however, there were several carriages parked at the entrance of the building, which was submerged in weeds and vines.
Givens recognized the distinctive black decoration of these carriages, and he immediately took Adelia's hand.
"Be careful, it's the king's sword. ”
Hearing the name, Adelia stopped and looked at the scene in front of her from afar.
The passengers in the carriage seemed to have entered the laboratory building, and only a few dutiful coachmen were meticulously watching over the carriage.
Everything in front of Jiwen was so peaceful, but the peace of the night was shattered without warning.
Countless turbulent air currents suddenly gushed out from the laboratory building, smashing the old doors and windows to pieces, rolling up the dust, and the wind of broken grass and wood chips formed a violent storm around the center of the laboratory building, uprooting the weeds and shrubs in the surrounding courtyard.
Frightened, the horses desperately broke free from the reins and fled despite the whips of the coachmen, who had to chase the fleeing wagons while fleeing from the storm.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and more and more things were swept out of the house by the strong wind, broken furniture and statues, various unknown utensils, and finally a group of elves in black cloaks were thrown out by the wind and smashed into the courtyard in a scattered manner.
At this moment, the wind stopped, and an old figure walked out from the balcony on the second floor of the experimental building.
It's Professor Morris.
The tempest just now is clearly the work of this Professor Morris.
Professor Morris looked at the swords of the king writhing in the courtyard and threatened impatiently.
"If you dare to disturb me with such boring things next time, I won't just teach you six lessons like I did today. ”
The hoarse voice was not loud, but it sounded absolutely clear in the night.
Bock, the commander of this group of kings' swords, climbed up from the place with difficulty. He wiped the blood from his mouth and looked angrily at the figure on the balcony.
He had been a well-known professor in this academy, and now he was a patient who had fallen into madness, and he was also a ninth-order summoning oracle. But now for Bock, none of that status matters.
Because there was a bizarre murder in the academy recently, and Bock, who took over the case, identified Professor Morris as an important suspect.
For King's Sword, a suspect is a suspect, and there are even examples in King's Sword history of bringing forbidden spell summoners to justice who endanger the kingdom. So Bock had just stepped into the city and tried to question the suspect, Professor Morris.
But the demented Professor Morris was evidently different from ordinary crimes, and he was furious when he realized that Borke had made himself a prisoner. Immediately cast a spell to drive them all out of the laboratory building.
As a seventh-order summoner, Boke obviously couldn't fight against a ninth-order summoning god envoy, so the group of them was blasted out in embarrassment.
Such a merciless attack on the King's Sword was extremely rare in all of Solland, but Bock would not stop there. Since giving up halfway is not the King's Sword style, since the Guardians of the Sword of the Kingdom have decided to participate in this murder, then he can be sure to get the case to light, and the support that the Sword of the Kingdom can provide is far more powerful than the single summoning oracle who comes.
He stood up and shouted at Professor Morris in disbelief
"I'll come again, and then I'll bring with me evidence you can't deny!"
and enough power to defeat you. Of course, the last half of the sentence Bock did not shout.
Maurice ignored Bock's cries, he just glanced at the scattered courtyard around him. At this time, Professor Morris discovered two familiar figures in the woods not far away.
Morris searches through his pitiful broken memories and finally remembers that there was once a child who was going to be his student and was tasked with cleaning up the lab building. So he beckoned and shouted in that direction.
"Hurry up. ”
Professor Morris's call left Adelia in a dilemma. But Professor Morris has not yet agreed to be her mentor, and if she refuses Professor Morris's words at this moment, maybe this matter will be completely out of play. After weighing it for a long time, Adelia had to take a step and walk across the grass to the building. And Givens immediately followed far behind.
Adelia lowered her head and quickly passed by the king's swords that were rising one after another, but Jivin looked at the scene in front of her curiously, especially the king's swords that fell to the ground. The magic was violent, but it was extremely precise, and at least the wind that swept through the surrounding trees did not damage the cloaks and clothes of the kings' swords.
Bock looked back and saw two figures flash in the woods, and looked at Adelia and Gilvin hostilely. These two men seem to be Morris's comrades, and it would be easier to break Morris if they couldn't pry Morris's mouth open.
Bock remembered how Adelia and Gilvin looked, and then supported his wounded men and chased their carriage in disarray.
After some of the uninvited guests left, Professor Morris stepped off the balcony and met them at the gate.
"It looks like the clean-up is going to be doubled. ”
Morris stood on tiptoe and looked at the chaos around him, a little troubled by the garbage in this place.
"I've already contacted the clean-up work, and I can start working tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about these things, just leave them to me." ”
Professor Morris listened with satisfaction to Adella's reply, he had not met such a worry-free assistant for a long time. The guys he had met before would just complain about the difficulties and waste his time with trivial things.
Now this little girl seems to be very capable, and if she can do as well as she says, it is not impossible to promote her from student to student.
While thinking like this, Morris's attention focused on Given, who was behind Adella. The Professor noticed the magical disguise on his body, but Given's current magical appearance puzzled Professor Morris, because using such a depraved disguise on the streets of the royal capital was as conspicuous as a corpse.
"He, he's your summoned beast? ”
Professor Morris sensed Given's identity from other senses. The effect of that necklace couldn't fool the ninth-order summoning oracle.
Adelia smiled awkwardly and tried her best to explain.
"In Sodima before, it wasn't very conspicuous to dress like this. ”
"But this is the royal capital, and the guards of the royal capital will take him away and drive him out of the city gates. ”
Professor Morris shook his head violently, then he pulled a ring out of his pocket and handed it to Adella.
"Put it on him. ”
Adelia suspiciously took the ring and asked Givens to take it.
The moment Given's put it on, Adelia felt a wave of dizziness in front of her. Jiwen's appearance has changed from a rickety middle-aged man to a rugged elven man, and he wears the clothes that noble servants often wear, and his appearance does not look so unattractive.
"Well, at least for now, it looks like a servant or bodyguard, and no one will question that he's following you. ”
Morris was pleased with the change in Given. After reading it, he immediately issued a new order.
"From today onwards, you live on the ground floor. In the future, if any more people like the one come in, you're going to get rid of them all. Don't let them go upstairs and waste my time. ”
With that, Professor Morris went upstairs and continued his research on his own.
Adelia couldn't help but smile dumbly as she looked at the professor's disappearing back. The actions of this crazy professor cannot be measured by ordinary people. It's dilapidated, and it's a place where people can live.
Adelia glanced around, only to find that Gilvin was busy looking at her new look, so she couldn't help but walk over and joke.
"Need me a mirror?"
"No, how do you feel about this appearance?" said Given, who opened his hand and looked at his loose sleeves again.
"The way you look now will at least appeal to women who are four or five hundred years old. ”
Adelia scrutinized Given's face, which she was not used to, and she still preferred Given's appearance without a helmet for her.
It wasn't an elven face, but at least it was a real face.
Jiwen was quite satisfied with this answer, at least this appearance didn't have to hide so much in the academy.
After putting away the gifted ring, he and Adelia left the laboratory building temporarily, after all, at least tomorrow after the cleaning was completed, Adelia could not move the dormitory over.
After bidding farewell to Adella, Givens returned to the Forbidden God Space. This time, unlike any other in the past, he brought back an important question.
Is the mysterious bronze-skinned monster who caused the bloodshed at the Summoning Academy the mysterious boy in the goblin shop, the Hel who was rescued from the cave by himself?
