"What did you say?!"

In Dean Peter's room, the little wizard standing behind Loren stared wide-eyed, and looked at the black-robed wizard with a surprised expression, Dalton Kander, who had always been calm and composed, showed such a panicked expression for the first time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even Dean Peter was not much better, and although he was still smiling, he knocked over the teacup in his hand without realizing it. Ain, who didn't dare to say anything, could only stare at Loren's cheek quietly, and there was not even the slightest nervous expression on that face.

"As I said, the mastermind is named Kahlan, and I guess he's a pretty good wilderness wizard and a spellcaster who is proficient in spells. Still unhurried, Loren replied, "If the information is correct, he should have at least sixteen ...... under his command."

"I didn't ask you this!" the emotional Dalton interrupted him directly, staring at Loren with a cold gaze: "Answer my question, Loren Torino!"

Dalton's emotions were already a little out of control, and Peter behind the table did not say anything to stop him, obviously he was eager to confirm the "clue" that Loren had just said.

"They...... It seems that something is hidden in the academy. Loren said in a deliberately speculative tone, his eyes constantly observing the faces of the two men: "But except for the wizard named Karan, no one else knows what it is. ”

"Not only that, but I suspect that the murder of Father Anthony has something to do with it - I asked the priest there when I was in Gumu, and Father Anthony used to work in the church in the village of Wimpal. So I'm guessing it's probably ...... them."

"Speculation without evidence is just delusion!" the black-robed wizard interrupted Loren again, staring at him sternly: "You'd better think about what you're talking about!"

"I know exactly what I'm talking about, mentor. Loren retorted, "I'm doing everything I can to protect the Academy." But now it's like I don't even know what I'm protecting!"

"Loren!" Looking at the almost murderous gaze of the black-robed wizard, the little wizard who had always been silent couldn't help but speak, and if he continued like this, according to Dalton's temper, he would definitely not let him go easily!

"Don't embarrass your apprentice anymore, Dalton. Just as the black-robed wizard was about to draw his wand, it was Peter who stopped him: "He has done his best, and we can't blame him for what he found." ”

"Dean, with all due respect......"

"I know what you're talking about, and I know how dangerous it is. Peter first calmed Dalton, then turned his gaze to Loren: "Loren Turin, I should be able to say that your insight and tracking skills are far beyond the ordinary. ”

"You're in for a treat. ”

"Not this time. Peter smiled softly and gently lifted his eye: "At least you have discovered part of the truth - yes, there are some secrets hidden in the academy, and there are demons lurking beneath our feet. ”

"Dean!" Dalton almost roared.

"The reason why I don't tell you is not because of any selfish desires or purposes, but because it is too dangerous. We are hiding this secret to protect you and everyone. Peter looked at him regretfully, "So I won't tell you what it is." For your safety, it's best not to delve into it either. ”

"Your mission is over, and the academy won't give you any new tasks for a while. Study in peace, kid. The kind old man patted Loren on the shoulder: "You've done enough, we'll take care of the rest—in the name of the academy, I promise you, those people won't succeed!"

Loren, who lowered his head, said nothing, making the little wizard behind him very anxious, but he didn't dare to speak--stupid, stupid, stupid

"I get it, I'm not going to meddle anymore. Loren, who raised his head, said calmly, so that Ain behind him finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even closed his eyes a little scared.

"I guess you might need to take a break. The old man said gently, but his tone was incomparably unquestionable: "Ain Rand, could you please take Loren back to the North Tower—he must be very tired by now after a few days of being away." ”

"Yes, Abbot Peter!" the little wizard immediately agreed, and then dragged Loren away without saying a word. I trotted all the way until I left the hallway, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you crazy to confront Mentor Dalton?!" As soon as he stopped, Ain couldn't help but shout at Loren, "If it weren't for Dean Peter's presence, he might have ...... just now"

"Don't worry, the mentor is a very sane person, he won't just kill me. Loren, with a calm expression, comforted, but it was very possible to beat himself up.

"You bastard, idiot, self-righteous idiot!" The emotional little wizard still did not calm down, his blue eyes widened: "Can't you not let others worry about you for a minute, I almost ...... just now"

"Almost what?" Loren lowered his head, and the panicked Ain quickly put his right hand behind his back.

But he was quicker, grabbing the little wizard's right hand, which contained a vial of ignition agent. This time, Loren was surprised: "You didn't think about ...... just now?"

"Just in case!" the blushing little wizard argued, though it sounded very strong, "Anyway, even if it really works, it can't hurt the mentor and the dean." ”

"I'm flattered. Loren didn't know whether to be surprised or laugh, and stared at Ain in front of him incredulously: "I didn't expect that I was so important to you?"

"You...... Don't be presumptuous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ain seemed to be running for his life, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Loren, who stood in place, looked at the ignition agent in his hand, and didn't know what else he could do except shake his head.

Really...... I don't understand it more and more, or do I just do something very excessive, otherwise why would the little wizard run?

Even Asriel is easier to deal with than this one - at least he knows that there is absolutely no truth in the other party's mouth, and Ain ...... That's impossible to guess.

With a helpless sigh, he looked back at Loren behind him, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked. He had already aroused their vigilance, and in the days to come, Dalton and Peter would only become more and more restless.

Wherever that thing is, they're sure to check it, which gives them the opportunity to track it, at least to get a rough idea of where and where it is.

Of course, the actual operation is far from simple. Both Dalton and Peter are cautious people, and the end of going there is definitely not too good.

Besides, even if the position is determined, how can he have a chance to make a move in this academy, I am afraid that he will not be arrested directly as soon as he leaves.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, my "good friend" Asreel will definitely be able to see death without help, and even if Peter's temper is good, I'm afraid the end will not be very optimistic.

So...... I need a substitute for the dead ghost, a "bunker" that can block the gun in front of me, and attract the attention of the vast majority of myself so that I can be sure enough to succeed.

Who could be more suitable than that Lord Karan?

The thought crept into Loren's mind little by little like a cold snake, and the smile on his lips became more and more strange - in order to seize such a thing, this Lord Kahlan would definitely do whatever it took to break into the academy.

And he will be the only one who can stop him. Evil villains and brave knights, the old-fashioned drama is really played out again and again......

What the hell is that thing? Hmmm...... Loren felt that Dean Peter had basically told himself, but he didn't say it explicitly.

"The devil hiding underground...... Interesting. ”
