Academy Horror Chapter 7 The Head Wolf in the Shadows
Lin Moyang and Moira looked at the venison in front of them, and then looked at each other, both of them could see suspicion and deep jealousy in each other's eyes.
Since Lin Moyang stayed at the Merlin Academy of Magic and Wizardry, Carter has always been a minion, and since Moira met this Carter Alexander, everyone has commented on him as idle, scumbag, and wantonly doing evil with his aristocratic status. Although the current Carter Alexander is still very enthusiastic about Lin Moyang, he doesn't feel like a disciple or an arrogant aristocrat, although he still doesn't have Green's demeanor, but at least the current Carter really can't make people associate him with the second generation of Wu.
"It's weird, right~ It's not strange, my old man often taught me that men must be responsible, and of course, a little disguise is also necessary occasionally. Carter chuckled, a silver light dancing in his hand. Lin Moyang fixed his eyes and saw that it was the silver dagger that had been taken away. Carter used the dagger to lightly slash at the roast suckling pig, and the cooked pork was easily separated by the blade like silk, and the silver dagger's smooth knife did not have a trace of excess oil, not even a trace of hot vapor condensed on the knife. Carter delicately divided the pork into small pieces along the original texture of the meat, and then he held the dagger in both hands and presented it to Lin Moyang.
Without waiting for Lin Moyang to reflect, Moira on the side had already carefully taken the murder weapon, because there was no scabbard at hand, and the original equipment of this dagger was left in Lin Moyang's dormitory, and Moira could only put it on the long table in front of her.
"Forgive me for guaranteeing your presence in this way. Carter had a smug look on his face, and it seemed that his claim that the dagger had been taken away privately by his men was not true, and that in fact it was possible that the dagger had been taken away at the behest of Carter himself.
This second generation of Wu is not simple, Lin Moyang secretly took a breath and came to such a conclusion, saying that these people who can climb to a high position are definitely not simple, but Lin Moyang didn't expect that if you think about it carefully, this Carter Alexander can have such scheming. Lin Moyang felt a little numb in his scalp, it seemed that his wheel heart machine was often not as good as these descendants of wizards who had been fighting since childhood. Lin Moyang realized that not everyone is as frank as Green, even if he is a sunny person like Green, isn't his childhood dream to become a dark knight like Batman?
"So, why did you spend all this time asking me to come here?" Lin Moyang asked as he put the barbecue meat in his mouth. It's not that he looks indifferent, it's just that he has never eaten such a delicious thing, and his hands are a little disobedient, so he satisfies his appetite, Lin Moyang can be regarded as a qualified Chinese foodie.
And Lin Moyang answered his words while eating, this disapproving demeanor was expected by Carter, after all, he was the agent of His Excellency Fenglong, and he was able to deal with things so calmly, and even in the face of his true face, he could deal with it as usual, and when he was talking, the agent also reminded himself that maybe this agent had already seen through his disguise.
Thinking of this, Carter couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't imagine that his perfect disguise had already fallen apart in the torch-like gaze of His Excellency the Agent, and he was still afraid that His Excellency the Agent really felt that he was an uneducated and unskilled academy hooligan who refused to come to the banquet, and it seemed that he had done too much useless work.
Lin Moyang sat at the dining table, constantly eating the barbecue that was grilled just right, melt-in-the-mouth, how did he know that Carter was already over-interpreting himself?
"Since Your Excellency the Agent has long seen through my disguise, then we will not speak secretly. Carter sorted out his words, and the movement of cutting the roast meat in his hands stopped. Tonio playfully said that he was going to the kitchen to see the stew, away from the long table, and he didn't have a hobby of sitting at the table to pry into the privacy of the guests.
"Merlin's School of Magic isn't safe, at least for now. Carter's first words were astonishing.
And Lin Moyang didn't feel anything at all, the academy was not safe about him, to put it mildly, he was here to eat and drink, and he didn't know anything about the affairs of the magic world except for the little fur he had learned in the past few days.
So Lin Moyang said nonchalantly: "Go on, don't stop, and then what?"
Carter was a little surprised by Lin Moyang's calm attitude, and he continued: "Principal Merlin hasn't shown up for half a year, and he hasn't even shown up to speak at the opening ceremony of this semester, which is very unusual. ”
Where does Lin Moyang know who Merlin is, I only know that this Merlin is also one of the members of the Round Table, I heard that he is still the founder of the Round Table, and he is almost 150 years old this year, but what does this Merlin have to do with him Lin Moyang?
On the contrary, Moira tilted her head and thought for a while, and nodded affirmatively, she really hadn't seen the legendary sage Grandpa Merlin at this year's freshman opening ceremony, only a few professors with gloomy faces made a lot of statements about paying attention to safety and obeying the school rules.
Moira should know that more than a dozen students from remote areas have dropped out of school this semester, which is very unusual. Carter took a sip of mead, trying to make Lin realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Drop out of school, quit school, isn't this kind of thing normal?" Lin Moyang wiped his mouth, his stomach was warm, and he didn't know what was going on with the barbecue he ate, which not only made him feel that he didn't support it at all, but felt that his body was hot, and his muscles were full of inexhaustible strength.
"Not at all, Merlin Academy is the best magic academy in the world, and it is a great honor for every wizard to be able to enter and study here, except for those who are expelled from the academy every year, such as the previous Barry...... No one will drop out of school voluntarily. Not only have there been dropouts this semester, but a very large number of them have dropped out of school voluntarily. Moira added at this time. The guide of the student council whispered that although she also enjoyed the food, especially when Toneo was still taking out all kinds of dishes from the back kitchen, she still couldn't forget her job, that is, to popularize some things for Lin Moyang that he didn't understand.
Lin Moyang didn't take it to heart at all, he just said: "Maybe it's because of the family background? The tuition of such an academy is not cheap, right?"
Carter shook his head across the long table again: "Merlin Academy has a sufficient scholarship system, even if you are penniless, you can complete your studies through scholarships and admission compensation, and the purpose of President Merlin to establish this academy is to give all wizards the opportunity to fully and systematically learn magical knowledge." There is no class in education, this is your Chinese saying, and the principal has always been on his lips. ”
"So, what do you think is going on?" Lin Moyang realized that things might be really abnormal, but he subconsciously didn't relate to himself. He just wants an extraordinary life, and it's too exciting to expose shady things like that.
"All the students who dropped out of school were girls, and their families were almost Muggle families, similar to Xiao Mo, although a distant relative had a few wizarding experience, but there was almost no shadow of magic in his own family. All students are escorted home by a special teacher after dropping out of school, and their memories are tampered with by forgetting spells, so that the family has almost no connection with magic. Carter said.
Lin Moyang frowned: "Isn't it good? The matter has been resolved, and the secret of magic has not been revealed." So the academy you're referring to is unsafe, what the hell is going on?"
Carter shook his head and denied this statement: "In principle, yes, I asked my old man to follow up, and I also followed up with the families of these students, and the answer was that these students have returned home safely, and are already preparing for the next year's college exams, and the modification of memory is also perfect, and the parents think that their children just voluntarily dropped out because they can't keep up with their studies in an ordinary university, and they themselves agreed." ”
Lin Moyang held up the mead and said, "Isn't that good?
"The problem is that we haven't seen those students again," Carter said. ”
Lin Moyang's raised wine glass stopped in the air, Carter's voice became gloomy, and his face also showed a look of helplessness and pain.
"What do you mean?" Lin Moyang put down his glass, he couldn't understand the meaning of Carter's words.
"Usually this kind of brainwashed Muggle family will be treated as a normal person later, so there will be no follow-up, and there will be no follow-up, because once such a family decides to drop out of school, it will be removed from the wizarding family directory in the future. So no one will find out that in fact, there is no student in the family of these students, only the brainwashed parents. And in two weeks at most, the family will move to a place that no one knows, and their whereabouts will never be known. Carter said word for word.
"What do you mean?" Lin Moyang seemed to be listening to the plot of a suspense drama, not only not believing it, but also a little scared After a while, this gloomy Carter suddenly laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm scared, right, lie to you." ”
"The students were abducted after dropping out of school, their whereabouts are unknown, and they were disposed of along with their families. Because no one would pay attention to the dropout wizards who had become Muggles. Carter took a sip of mead and added, "That's my speculation." ”
Carter's expression was extremely serious, and Moira was already so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
Lin Moyang was obviously also a little at a loss, and he reminded, "Then why don't you tell the teacher or report to the Ministry of Magic?"
Carter shook his head: "Headmaster Merlin hasn't shown up for more than half a year, and most of the teachers in the academy are actually nobles, and they rarely meddle in the affairs of the Muggle world, so I may not be able to get help from the teachers, but will expose myself." ”
Lin Moyang was a little stunned, and Carter continued: "I am different from Rabbit, I am the president of the pure-blood brotherhood, and the second generation of the most squishy witch in the academy, so I can better control the undercurrent among the students in the academy. ”
"Huh?" Lin Moyang was a little confused, and Moira was even more dazed, in her image, this Carter really didn't do anything serious except for maliciously attacking and hurting Joshua?
"I am the head wolf, the head wolf who regulates the pack. Rabbit is the president of the student council from a civilian background, even though she is very popular among ordinary students, but she is not a nobleman after all, which is very fatal in a wizarding society that pays attention to birth and blood. The children of the nobles want to bring her down all the time, attack her, and get her off the position of the president, but if the rabbit is in the position of the president, the student council will not become a tool and lackey for the nobles to entrench, after all, not all nobles are as bright and upright as Senior Green. So I have to be her worst enemy, because I am also a nobleman, as long as I stand up and become the rabbit's worst enemy, then until I succeed in seizing the position of the student council from the rabbit, other noble children will not make much of a move, because now everyone knows that I, Carter Alexander, are interested in the position of president of the student council, and if anyone comes to intervene, it will not be a contradiction between nobles and commoner wizards, but between nobles and nobles. So the more I behaved like a gentleman, the more I struggled with my henchmen, the more no one would want to go against me. Carter explained.
"Oh, there's still such a practice!" Lin Moyang suddenly realized at this time, no wonder this Carter behaved so annoyingly, but he was able to be called a warrior and a hero by the boss Tonio. This kind of forbearance and wisdom is not something that ordinary people can have.
"Moreover, the children of the nobility have always looked down on the commoner wizards, and if the children of the nobility have a conflict with the commoner wizards, the teachers who are nobles will generally look down on the children of the nobility. Barry is a good example, when Merlin Academy of Magic and Wizardry was just created, civilian wizards were humiliated and treated unfairly in the school, if I didn't be this head wolf, Barry didn't know how much of this kind of thing would happen in the school. Carter explained, his face full of helplessness and sadness, "I am the worst nobleman in the academy, so who can be worse than me? ”
The most uneducated aristocrat in the academy said plainly and helplessly, while Moira was already red-eyed, she kept apologizing to Carter, she used to curse Carter for bullying Joshua every day, but now that she thinks about it, Carter really hasn't done anything excessive except for verbal and unforgiving abuse, and even when his younger brother wants to add fuel to the fire, he will be thought by him as "how can the behavior of a nobleman be so rude" For reasons to dissuade, I thought that this hooligan was just putting gold on his face, but who knew that he had such a big abacus.
"Does Miss Silbert know about this kind of thing?" Lin Moyang was also a little moved by this man, although he couldn't empathize with Carter's forbearance and tenacity, but Carter was carrying more things on his back than he imagined.
"Of course the rabbit doesn't know, she's leading the students in the open, and I just need to escort her in the dark. Carter had a strange flush on his face when he mentioned Silbe, and the man in the dark of the academy buried his head in embarrassment.
"So, I can't be exposed, I can pay attention to many things in the shadows that everyone can't pay attention to, and some of my actions won't attract everyone's attention, no one would have thought that Carter Alexander would investigate this kind of thing behind his back, even if the black hand behind it knew that someone was investigating, he would never think that it was me! So, Your Excellency Lin Moyang, I implore you, among those present now, only you can solve this matter, and only you can go beyond the noble blood to investigate this matter, there are definitely people among the teachers of the academy who are involved in this matter, but I have no definite evidence. Carter suddenly pleaded earnestly.
"But even if it's me, what can I do?" Lin Moyang was a little curious, he was not a detective Suenan, let alone a detective with a good brain, and even when he went out of the dormitory, he would get lost without Moira leading the way, what could he do?
"I don't need you to do anything, I will handle all the investigations, but my investigation cannot be used as evidence, so I need your strength, the privilege of your representative of His Excellency Fenglong......"
"The 'Sword of the Tyrant' that can bring down judgment with your justice alone!"
