Chapter 45: The Academy I
"Yes, that's the truth. It's extremely helpless but has to accept it. Arthur sighed slightly.
"Why are you helping me?" Anthony asked as he drank the wine from his glass and looked at Arthur, his eyes becoming cold and cold.
"Me?" Arthur's smile became subtle, "I'm not here to help you, but to them." For them, you are good for everyone, but not for the Patik family. ”
Anthony suddenly shuddered, what the other party said was right, since those people used themselves as a smokescreen, then now the family is likely to be tricked.
Anthony suddenly stood up from his chair, but found that his legs were weak and he sat down again, and he couldn't stand up, and soon a whirling dizziness hit his mind.
"You're drugged!" Wine glasses fell to the ground, and champagne and glass shards spilled on the floor. "Of course, I thought you wouldn't drink it! You regressed, and I didn't take a sip of my glass of wine, but you didn't notice it. Arthur said with a little disappointment, pouring the wine from his glass into the vase in front of the window.
・・・・・・
"Why do you want me to go too?" Constance Dante asked, tugging at his gorgeous gown a little uncomfortably.
"Alyssa doesn't know where to go, and Yulia doesn't know anything about mechanics, so now you are the only one who can be my assistant." Preskars shrugged and said. Looking up and down at Constance Dante, Preskars had always felt that this slender young man was really not suitable for the upper aristocratic society, and he had been at the bottom for the next ten years. However, the temperament of Constance Dante was not at all incompatible with this aristocratic academy.
But Constance Dante was a little nervous at this time, he didn't expect to return to this place. I didn't think about stepping into this place since I sent Sophia there, and I was going back to my former school at this time.
When Constance, Dante was the Knight King, and spent a short but memorable time at the Academy. Even though the catastrophe ten years ago brought a painful memory gap to Cons Dante, he still hasn't forgotten it.
Cons, Dante, and Preskas walked together into the gates of the Imperial Theological Seminary. In the past ten years, the academy has remained unchanged as it has been in the past, but things are different. Those unfamiliar faces greeted you.
"Hello Professor!"
"Good afternoon, Professor!"
People greeted Priskas, including the nobles of the kingdom, but Priskas just nodded and walked with Constance Dante.
Constance Dante subconsciously lowered his head, since the fall of Constantinople, most of the original teaching staff here moved east, leaving only empty buildings. Even a large number of precious books were mostly brought to Nicaea in the East. Therefore, most of the faculty members of this imperial seminary are from the West, but Constance Dante, who did not have to deliberately hide himself, unconsciously lowered his head.
Constance Dante looked at the back of Preskars in front of him, and thought carefully, this man could never let himself come here just because Alyssa was not there.
But what exactly is his purpose?
"Professor? I haven't seen you for a few days, what a coincidence! ”
Contemplation, Dante met Priskas, and he didn't pay attention to what was ahead of him, only to notice that Priskas had stopped.
Ahead, a middle-aged man with two beards stood in front of them, blocking the way.
"Good afternoon, Provost." Preskars didn't nod his head this time, but there was a hint of coldness on his face.
"Who is this ・・・・・・?" The man asked with a look of displeasure as he looked at Constance Dante behind Preskas.
"This is an aristocratic academy, not everyone can enter." The man looked at the empty dress on Constance Dante and knew that Constance Dante did not have any family background.
"My new assistant and my student as well. Is there anything wrong, Your Excellency Provost? "Preskars doesn't seem to be happy with this man.
"Is that so? But I have to warn you, Professor, that this is not good for you right now. We hope you are not late for tomorrow's hearing. The man smiled and turned away.
Looking at the man's distant back, Constance Dante also felt very uncomfortable, but Preskars was calm.
"Who was that guy just now?" The two men walked into an inconspicuous corner, and there was no one else but them in private, Constance Dante asked, looking at Preskas.
"The Provost of the College, Sir Winster. It's a very orthodox person who always wants to expel me from the academy. Preskars replied with a shrug. Tomorrow I'm afraid I'll have to question me again about my misappropriation of the Academy's funds. What a headache! It was just that money, but Winster grabbed it. ”
"Are you embezzling?" Constance Dante couldn't believe it.
"Of course, otherwise I would have had so much money to experiment. You should know that that's a lot of money. And Arthur and those guys are not going to give me much financial support until I produce results. But as a researcher engaged in a great cause, how can he sell his heart and soul in exchange for money? Preskars smiled a little smugly. There's no way I'm going to get those people happy. If I will do whatever they tell me to do to give me financial support, it is better to rely on myself. ”
Although Constance Dante knew that Priskas had differences with those who secretly supported him, he did not expect Pliskas to be forced into such a situation. On the one hand, Preskas needed a lot of money to develop a new Ultimate Mech, and on the other hand, he had to be obedient to work for those funders.
He didn't have to strictly control the experimental data and technology, but Preskas just couldn't get used to it.
"Seriously?" Constance Dante was a little worried, after all, if the other party traced the use of the funds, he was afraid that Professor Preskas would have enough contraband to drink a pot.
"Why are you worried about me, or are you worried about your safety and your sister's safety?" Priskas teased.
And Constance Dante did not hide it, and said calmly: "The relationship between you and me is only a cooperative relationship, and it has not yet reached the point where I am worried about your safety." ”
"It's really sad, obviously when I tested before, I was very worried about your life." Preskars smirked.
But Constance Dante walked straight over and whispered coldly, "That's because if I die, I should be very passive to you!" ”
"Tell me, what's your deal with Bashires?" Constance Dante's eyes suddenly became very cold, very cold.
