Chapter 67: The Man Who Harbors Evil Babies (3)
Today's atmosphere is not quite right, this is the first thought of the little wizard who woke up from his sleep. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
All the apprentices were gathered, nearly half of them were arranged to leave the academy temporarily, and the rest who could not leave were arranged to the hall of the main castle and the doors were locked.
Even himself and Isaac were the same, this time Peter's kindness and kindness were completely devoid of his former kindness and kindness, and all the dissenting apprentices were directly knocked unconscious by the mentors and thrown into the storage room in the main castle hall.
And even under the robes of those mentors, Ain could hear the shaking of weapons, and there were more than a dozen older apprentices, who also followed behind the mentors with long swords hanging from their waists, with very serious expressions.
"What the hell is going on?!" Anxious Al Yin sat at the table at the very edge of the hall, looking at the apprentices around him with panicked expressions and whispering, and eagerly asked Loren in front of him: "You must know that, right, Mentor Dalton must have told you!"
"Didn't Dean Peter already say it?" Loren said lightly: "Recently, the vicinity of the academy has not been very stable, and there are robbers, so the dean plans to ask the guards of the village and town to help patrol it, and by the way, ask the duke and the church for help, and resume classes after confirming that it is completely safe." ”
"Tell the truth!" the little wizard looked at him fiercely, completely ready to eat people.
“...... Of course, but you have to give me a promise first. Loren, who raised his hands in surrender, looked calm: "No matter what happens, I will not interfere in this matter - this is for your sake, if I don't agree, I will have to consider knocking you unconscious." ”
"But!" the little wizard struggled with.
"Sorry, this time it's not a joke. So please tell me right away, okay or no?"
“...... All right. Gritting his teeth and agreeing, Aine stared at him: "But you have to tell the truth!"
Loren nodded silently, then glanced around, and lowered his voice before speaking: "Half of Abbot Peter's statement is true, but the situation is more dangerous than what he said. ”
"There's a group of people, presumably wandering wizards and mercenaries, who will raid Wimpal Academy at some point in the near future, and we don't know what their ultimate purpose is, but ...... I'm afraid a fight is inevitable. ”
Although he had expected it a long time ago, the little wizard who heard the truth was still stunned, and his eyes trembled: "How, how can this be...... What are they for?"
"I think this should be something that Dean Peter should be worried about. Waving his hand jokingly, Loren's gaze intentionally or unintentionally skimmed towards Dalton, who was on patrol, and at the moment, in the entire academy, only this tutor was the most calm and composed, and he couldn't see the difference from the past at all.
As for the other instructors, most of them were a little pale, but they were not scared, at most they were a little nervous. After all, being a wizard under a remote cliff like Wimpal has some experience of wandering in the wilderness, even if he is not a real warrior, and he is not an ordinary person who has not experienced killing.
And the apprentices who were armed at an older age were really just sword-wielding apprentices - they were probably the first time in their lives that they had used such things, and they really had to face blood-licking mercenaries and experienced wandering wizards, not even obstacles.
With just the twenty-odd people of the academy, it is impossible for Kahlan and his group of bandits to be an opponent, and asking for help is an option that has no choice. After all, wizards are wizards after all, killing people is not their forte, and combat is not their forte—if it weren't for the fact that they often have to clear out the monsters that roam the dukedom, they don't even have the slightest combat experience.
"Why don't you run away!" While no one was paying attention to him, the little wizard suddenly grabbed Loren's hand: "You are so powerful, if you want to escape, there will be no problem!"
"What if that is...... Something happened to the Academy, what are you going to do?" asked Loren rhetorically.
"That'...... It's just my fate. Ai Yin, who was asked, replied hesitantly: "Maybe that's better, at least you don't have to live in fear all your life, worrying about being discovered by others at any time." ”
Loren smiled.
"What, what, is it that funny?!" the little wizard was angry: "If you have a choice, no one wants to die, but...... It's just fate, no matter who is sooner or later, there will be a day...... Ahh
Before he finished speaking, Ain was held by Loren's palm, and then directly pressed his lips. Loren, who was smiling, got up slightly, walked across the table to her ear, and the little wizard's head with red cheeks was about to smoke.
"Absolutely no one will hurt you before I lie down...... It's a promise. ”
........................ "Those wizards have already noticed it, and the time has come!"
Farness, who was sitting on a bench in the delicate living room, looked at the letter for help written by Peter on the table with a little excitement, and even couldn't help but talk to himself.
It can be seen that Peter has a clear idea of what kind of people he is looking for, otherwise it would be impossible for him to easily ask for help from the people of the church with his character, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and his efforts have not been in vain.
You must know that although the Church is very powerful in the whole dukedom, it does not mean that it has a large army—only a small number of guards guarding the bishop, and even these people cannot be easily mobilized without special reasons, and are completely under the supervision of the duke.
Fanecis had been waiting for such a reason, a plausible excuse to mobilize the guards of the Church, to justifiably storm the wizard's castle that had desecrated the Holy Cross and burn it to ashes!
And what better excuse now than the letter of help written by Abbot Peter himself?
A smile slowly lifted into his mouth, as if Phanesis had seen the future: he led the warriors under the banner of the Church to wipe out the destabilizing bandits, and found ironclad evidence of the blasphemy of the evil wizards in the castle, sending Peter and his lackeys to the gallows, where they were purified by the light of the Holy Cross.
As for the old and frail Bishop Fabiang, he will have no choice but to hand over that seductive crown, and he will become the youngest bishop in the history of the entire Church, and he will go down in history for his devout faith and sharp reforms!
"Go and tell Kahlan at once that he and his doglegs are ready to act, and I want him to leave tonight, and start the action in earnest tomorrow night!"
"Let this lowly wizard understand that if he wants something like that, he must be obedient and meticulous in carrying out my orders. Otherwise, I will send him to the gallows with the others and say goodbye to the world forever!"
"No, you have to keep an eye on him all the time. Farnesis, who still felt unsafe, immediately changed his words: "This guy is too cunning, once he has any bad behavior, kill him directly!"
Wouldn't that be too urgent, and it doesn't seem easy to explain on the church's side. The knight hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "You have never been very friendly to the Wizarding Academy......
What the knight wanted to say was that Farnes had always pointed the finger at Vimpal and Peter, and wanted each other to die. This time Peter came to ask for help, and he showed such enthusiasm, anyone would think that there was something wrong with this!
"That's not the point now!" Phanascis asked, "Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that if we can't act now, can the Holy Cross give us a second chance?!"
"But ......"
"No, remember, knight!" Phanesis interrupted him again, "fulfill your obligations to the Holy Cross and to me, so that the entire dukedom may be redeemed and purified, and that those who are treacherous, blasphemers, and all evil forces will have nothing to hide from before the iron fist of justice!"
Looking at the increasingly fanatical Farnessc, he completely tore off the coat and camouflage of his former sanity. The knight was silent for a moment, then lowered his loyal head.
"Everything will be as you wish, Lord Fanescis. ”
