Chapter 61: The Man Who Hides in the Shadows (1)

Loren, who was blasted out of the door, leaned against the side of the corridor, shook his head helplessly, and let out a long sigh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Why is it that every time I want to tell the truth, no one believes me?

I'm afraid this is a question worth thinking about, but Loren doesn't have this mind now, so he casually took out the book "Buried Things - Vampires" from under his robe, and his eyes gently swept over the gilded font on it, and he couldn't help but curl his eyebrows.

This was brought "by the way" when he returned to the tower with Al Yin on his back, and of course such important information could not be easily forgotten. Most importantly, the fact that the book is in Dalton's study and not in the college's library is enough to prove that it is very significant.

Of course, it may just be the Mentor's private collection, but Loren doesn't believe that there can be such a coincidence. Dalton hid it in his study for a reason—perhaps he had now found it missing.

So it's important to read the required content as soon as possible, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do that on your own. Although confident in his memory, Loren doesn't think he's a pervert like Isaac Grantham, who can memorize all the books in the library in just one day.

So, I'm afraid I need a little help...... Let's say a guy named Asrael.

Although he feels extremely disgusted every time he thinks of him, emotionality is always taboo. With a slightly helpless smile, Loren, who was lying on the bed, slowly closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his spiritual hall.

"It's great that you're thinking of me so quickly, dear Loren. ”

When Loren opened his eyes again, he found that his spiritual temple was a little different—a chandelier hung in the center of the empty white room, several oil paintings of various sizes hung on the closed walls on all sides, and nothing else.

But if you look closely, you can find that the patterns on those "oil paintings" are the several spells that Loren had thoroughly mastered before, arranged in a row according to the order before and after.

The fire-fighting moth symbolizes the "Firefly Spell", the swirling pattern that symbolizes the "Hovering Spell", and the arrow feather that refers to the "Crystallization Spell...... The paintings are the size of a palm, scattered on the walls.

On the other side of the wall, a slightly larger, white-eyed pitch-black figure roared against a brightly lit background - no doubt the only high-level spell Loren had mastered, "beyond perception".

"It feels like your previous spiritual temple was too disordered - mainly because the spirit and the material were completely unified in your body, and the information received was too large. So, I'll just help a little bit, and it's not a particularly complicated thing. ”

Sitting in the center of the room, the young man in a small dress had an expression of "hurry up and praise me", but in exchange for Loren's sneer.

"Let me make sure first, this 'little favor' won't make me owe you any favors, right?"

"How come?!" The young man's eyes under the white blonde hair flashed innocently, as if he had been wronged: "We are best friends, I will never use this kind of thing to blackmail you!"

"That's the best. Loren nodded, and when he was about to walk in front of Asrael, there was an extra chair beside him, and he sat down without care: "I'm going to make sure of one thing now......"

"No need to ask, you're right. The smiling Asriel replied directly: "Wimpal Castle, there was once a vampire. ”

So the rumors are true? Loren suddenly remembered that on his first day at the Academy, Ain had mentioned rumors about vampires in the Academy. He had asked around since then, but there were similar rumors among the local villagers, but they were just a story, and not many people believed them.

In this way, I am afraid that the rumors about vampires were also deliberately put out by Peter - the more things that were not wanted to be discovered, the more they had to show them, the more they did not want to mention them, the more they had to be placed at the beginning, and the more important the secrets, the more they would appear in the blind spots of people's eyes.

is worthy of Dean Peter, and he is really still an elder with deep routines......

"Now that you already know, why don't you just tell me?" Loren said naturally, "We're good friends, aren't we?"

“...... You wouldn't want me to tell you directly, Loren. After a moment of silence, a somewhat strange smile appeared on the young man's delicate face: "If I tell you directly, it will leave you with a debt that you will never be able to repay - I will never frame my friend." ”

"I can't help you so directly, but ......" Just as he spoke, the young man had an extra book on his slender legs, and handed it over with a smile: "If you have already found it, you can." ”

"Is anything okay - images, words, pictures......"

"Of course, these things are just part of the memory. Asrael nodded as a matter of course, cocking his calf and supporting his chin with his right hand: "Your way of using the Spirit Hall is still too superficial...... Or rather, the vast majority of wizards are like that. ”

Loren, who took the book, didn't open it directly. The spiritual temple in the meditative state has no concept of time at all, so theoretically it can have unlimited time, but it is not so urgent.

"Another question, why would you need a vampire?" Loren couldn't help but ask, "Let's not say if I can find it." Even if I did, defeating it would be a problem, and what's the point?"

"Don't forget it's a vampire, capable of draining me and tearing me to pieces in nine seconds - I don't know how Abbot Peter defeated it, but unfortunately I'm not such a powerful wizard yet, and this mission is beyond my limits!"

"I need it...... Well, I can tell you why now, but you'll understand by then. Asriel was still vaguely explaining, obviously not wanting to tell Loren the answer: "But you don't have to worry, because that vampire, what do you say? ”

Not quite the same?

Maybe that's right. After all, this academy vampire had been defeated by Peter and imprisoned for more than thirty years...... If you think about it this way, its strength should not be as good as before, and it is indeed a lot less difficult.

Even so, it's not an easy monster to deal with - it's not an intelligenceless low-level being like a ghoul, a real vampire can slaughter an entire village in a night, and even a heavily armed army in front of it is no different from a walking puppet!

This is the monster that has risen above humans, at the top of the food chain. Fresh, hordes of humans are just the delicacy in its mouth, a species that should not exist in the first place, but has been mutated and appeared under the power of the void.

By the time Loren came to his senses, Asriel was long gone, and he had recovered from his meditative state, the book still in his hand.

Thanks to Asriel, he has a "mobile library", so the book is not so important - if he can do this in the future, he will be less likely to be found when he is researching.

Just when Loren was still thinking about how to return the book, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Isaac, who didn't say hello, directly pushed open the door: "Oh my God, you're really here!"

"What's wrong?" Loren, who inadvertently hid the book on his body and had an unchanged smile, asked, "Is Mentor Dalton looking for me?"

"You're being looked for, but not Mentor Dalton. Isaac shook his head: "A boy just came to the door of the academy and knocked on the door, but no one answered—I only happened to meet it when I got to the door." ”

"Boy?"

"He said he called it a hat, which sounded a little weird. Isaac looked at Loren curiously.

"Are you relatives?"
