Darth Lema didn't expect such an obvious refutation of the request for war, although he had already made a move, but the need to mobilize the Academy's own protective forces also needed the approval of this dean, something he could not do as the head of the aristocratic side. It was not yet suitable to oppose this dean, and it was he Richard, not Budotas, who was clearly putting on a bad show, and the old man reluctantly made concessions as soon as he understood this.

"At the very least, then, please send more guards, our barrier seems to have lost its effect in the face of the Assassins, and we must mobilize all the men we can mobilize to ensure that those who need the ritual will at least protect their survival in numbers." The head of the Darth Rema family wittily said the current embarrassment in an uncertain voice, they were not even capable of completely protecting all the noble heads, and if they had to do so, they would have to transfer more border guards back, and then there would be a new manpower crisis, and in the time when the festival was approaching, the word manpower was even more scarce resource.

The dean agreed with him, but he was not stupid, knowing that Budotas was hinting at the transfer of manpower, so he said simply: "Then let all these nobles get together, if this ceremony is really so important to you in the Darth Rema family, I would like to believe that you will also protect all the guests hiding in your mansion, right?" ”

It's a very good idea, not only does it save resources, but it also gives budotas a kind of stability in their grip, but that's not the case. Everyone knows how the aristocracy existed, because with the protection and kindness of their ancestors, they often became less easy to understand and compromise, like the fat man who died. These nobles guard the secrets of their clan and are able to open the doors of the ritual, and when they are reduced by a certain number, the ritual will eventually lose the chance to complete it due to a reduced success rate. From ancient times to the present day, there has only been a time when the ritual has been delayed. There has never been a failure of rituals, because everyone knows that the failure of rituals is immediate death, and all the prudence and seriousness can be exchanged for world peace.

"What if you don't cooperate?" Budotas found a chair outside of the illusion and sat down in peace hoping to receive a complete answer, or else, as a professor working in the Academy, he could resign from the Dean at any time and immediately join the war in which he was the only one who made his own decisions.

"There is no chance that they will not cooperate! I will personally convince them all. Disaster is coming, and it is enough to be unwilling to hide in a bomb shelter because of face, and unwilling to get along with people with bad relationships because of prestige. Now we have to hate the same enemy, don't you think so, Budotas? The dean's words were approved by the head of the Darth Lema family, but the old man sitting there shook his head even more deceitfully, in front of the junior professor Blaze Ai and the boss Dean Dan. "I guarantee that you don't have this charm, at least there are still real fools among the nobles now." My suggestion is to remove the nonsense prepared by the apprentices, and divide all the laborers and apprentices into threes, twos, nines, and so on according to their trust and ability to help build complete fortifications, only then can we plug the holes in the city walls, right? ”

With a wave of his hand, the exclusive female guard outside the roller shutter gently lifted the chain and carried some memory devices. Compared to the smaller ones used to solve the case, this memory was activated by Budotas and immediately overlaid the original fantasy. It was part of a walled city. Blaze Ai clearly recognized the walls that belonged to the borders of the kingdom's cities, and only patrols would be able to intervene after this pass. It was a chilling sign on the wall of this place, and the red maple leaf mark made the dean's scalp tingle, but the reality was that these marks showed more than one place.

"My men are on the city walls and under the control of the subordinates. However, even if the garrison is strengthened, even if we make an example, nearly a hundred points near the city walls where this thing has been affixed have been searched, and I dare not guarantee that we have checked for thirty percent of the danger. But as long as there is one loophole, our city will be the same as without walls, and the soldiers who live in the bunker and sleep can still have their necks wiped off one night. "Dispel this illusion. Budotas recited the incantation with ease, helping the dean to put back the memory of the test tube in his hand, and the illusion disappeared completely. As a professor, he added: "Do you still have to trust the children who come in out of nowhere? It seems that one of them was drugged when she was delivered, maybe it was a possessed potion, maybe it was a personality change potion, and I felt that this red-haired girl had something to do with the assassins. Otherwise, how can you explain that the Border Guard's eyes do not detect killers outside the city, and you can't explain why killers can arrange hundreds of enchantments as if no one is around. ”

The dean did not immediately answer this accusation, he had his insistence, and on top of this insistence, the dean did not budge. He said calmly, as if repeating the principle of knowing his heart: "I will not investigate my apprentices, I will allow them to come in here, and I will assign them a mission without caring about their identity, and I am sure that this is not the first time that you have faced this guarantee from me." Old friend, what I said over the years has ruined you, but it's your fight with Richard's father that has made the house more and more unmanageable. And one more thing, the transfer in the academy is not under your control, and I will not let you take this opportunity to spread the seeds of war to those children. ”

"Have you figured it out, are you committing suicide? What the other party wants to stop is this ceremony, and you are the presiding officer of the ceremony. Wait for them to plunge the academy into terror, and the Assassins may stop on the beams of your house and kill you. ”

"I am not afraid of life and death!" The dean shouted loudly, and the old man's voice made him intimidate the relatively young head of the Darth Lema family, after all, the nominal master of this academy was the dean himself, whether it was insistence or decision, he would lead every part of the academy.

After such an argument, even the people near the tent were reluctant to approach this common room, and for the first time they heard the two high-ranking mages arguing with each other outside, although the dean was not as blushing as the other side, but Flame Ai, who was standing behind him, clearly felt that this terrible spiritual pressure was leaking in all directions, burning like flames.

After a moment, the dean waved his arm to dodge and asked, "So are we going to continue talking?" In fact, this can be replaced by a necessity to be discussed, but because of the dean's character of keeping a line in everything, he has become less absolute, and he can still leave enough room for mitigation after defeating the opponent of the debate.

Blaze Ai finally breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the head of the Darth Lema family didn't say much, maybe he didn't come so well prepared today, there are no nobles to speak here, there are no councilors, and if you compete for strength and power one-on-one, the nobles can't win the dean after all. Willing to lose, he nodded, ready to devote his energy to convincing the nobles to move into their homes en masse: "Then, you can use your god to tell me, how can those guys come and live in my house?" Even the garden party can't be deceived for too long, my bed can always be prepared in sufficient quantity and quality, but this etiquette is not suitable for so many nobles to stay for many days, you must know that there is also a small friction between them, what should you do?"

There is a real need for a way to convince people with reason, and the dean has been thinking about this issue just now, but sometimes it can't be done for the sake of justice. Just as the Darth Rema family raised their heads and thought they had raised their heads, something bad news appeared, and the bad news gave the Dean a solution to the problem.

Xiao Rose, who was hurrying closer, almost fought with the female guard outside the door. When Darth Lemar found out, he scolded his subordinates and put in Professor Blaze's good friend. The woman who entered the roller shutter had apparently just finished transporting the bunjiàn, but it seemed that she was a little slow to arrive, and like her master, she was very panting, and even if she rested and stopped as the guard after a while, she could not hide her panic.

"It's a big deal again!" What it was this time, neither the dean nor the nobles knew, they waited quietly, and no one felt bored. "On the way here, I met someone from the City Patrol who was on a mission and was destined for the Gauss family's mansion. I went over and looked at it, and found that there was another case, this time the nobleman was not dead, this nobleman and two of his retainers and guards had mysteriously disappeared, and the time was just before morning, and it was probably the guards on patrol who discovered the assassin who had taken captivity, and then disappeared together. ”

This answer came from the observation of the guards who accepted the case at the scene at the time, Xiao Ross himself did not know how to describe this bizarre kidnapping, it is said that there was no trace of battle at the scene, and there was no suspicious sound in the nobleman's house, and the big living people and the three disappeared at dawn, which was a little earlier than the murder.

"Go to the scene immediately!" The dean raised his leg and walked forward, which made Budotas behind him immediately follow, and everyone remained in a confused stage, and this academy had two cases against nobles in a short period of time. Neither the city defense nor the patrol team inquired about the prisoner, and even if they could have deceived the Zhenshiyan, how was the living being transported, and why didn't the assassins just assassinate him but forcibly take him away?
