Act 206. Reiner's visit
"Vice-Chancellor......"
After Reiner had been to Percival's house before, he took advantage of his leisure time to check at random, and Pacival's father-in-law, Madame Lyza's father, was none other than this Leo. Puerdo.
So Lady Lyza's original name was supposed to be Lysa. Puerdo.
"What a coincidence."
Reiner returned his student credentials, walked out of the building, and began to think about what to do.
To be honest, he didn't necessarily have to figure out this Siris. Oldman's whereabouts were just a series of coincidences that made him curious to find out what had happened to the eight-year-old graduate, why he had spent money to stuff his thesis into the school archives, and what it was about.
"I remember Director Percival said that his father-in-law is basically no longer engaged in teaching, and he often travels."
Reiner stood in the shade of the building, his robe had a circle that controlled the temperature, so he didn't feel hot, but it was still a little unpleasant to be exposed to the sun, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to pay a visit.
After inquiring about the location of the vice principal's office, Reiner walked straight across the campus to the foot of a tall building in front of the plaza in the middle of the school.
At this time, just as the morning class was over, many mages came out of this tall building, and they were in a hurry, about heading towards the cafeteria, and Reiner walked against the current alone, looking very strange and attracting many eyes.
Walking into the tall building, Reiner took the elevator to the eighth floor.
There are no classrooms on the seventh floor of the main building, all of which are office areas, and the office of Vice Chancellor Pudoldo is located on the eighth floor.
As soon as Reiner stepped out of the elevator, he saw a reception.
"Hello, I'm Reiner from the Thesis Review Committee. Ian Gray, I'm looking for the vice-principal of Puerdo. ”
"Is there an appointment...... Wait, Reiner. Ian Gray ??? ”
The female receptionist, who was about twenty years old, suddenly stopped her routine words, and she stared at Reiner in front of her with a shocked expression.
"You're the Blood Baron, Reiner. Ian Gray !? ”
"What is the name of the Blood Baron......
Reiner felt as if his painting style was rushing towards an indescribable place in the eyes of others, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued.
"I went to Vice Principal Puerdo, and I don't know if it's convenient for him."
"Uh, sorry, I'm too excited......"
The receptionist was a little overwhelmed, and she hurriedly picked up the notepad on the table and flipped through it before answering Reiner.
"Principal Puerdo's supposed to be having lunch right now, uh, he'll probably take a nap a little later, about ...... Wake up around two p.m. ”
It seems that she is also a newcomer, and she is not familiar with the itinerary of Principal Puerdo.
"Then I'll go have a meal too, and I'll come back in the afternoon, please make an appointment for me."
Hearing that everyone was eating, Reiner, who had been busy all morning, also felt a little fast, and he said to the receptionist, making the other party a little afraid to look him in the eyes.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Ian Gray."
Just as Reiner turned to leave, looking for a place to eat, the receptionist stopped him again.
"Please wait a minute, Mr. Ian Gray."
Looking back, Reiner found that the receptionist had taken out a clean notebook and spread it out to the blank title page.
"Can you sign it for me?"
The receptionist looked at Reiner with anticipation in her eyes like a puppy wagging its tail.
......
After a lonely gourmand meal in the backstreets near the High School of Magic of Asterl, Reiner returned to the campus in the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest, and the vast square was crowded with few pedestrians in a hurry, sheltering from the scorching sun.
Reiner had just had lunch, and was slowly walking in the shade of the trees for an afternoon meal, when he returned to the main school building, the lobby was empty, and he took the elevator to the eighth floor, and as soon as Reiner opened the door, he saw the receptionist lady who was dozing off with her head in her hands, he smiled, walked to the counter, and tapped lightly on the table.
Knock Knock Knock –
The sound of the knocking woke the half-asleep receptionist abruptly, and she hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and stood up in a panic.
"Who, who......"
Her helpless appearance really made Reiner want to ask her if she had a distant relative named Claire.
"I'm coming to Vice Principal Puerdo."
Reiner suppressed the prank thoughts and said in a serious tone.
"Oh, yes, it's you, Mr. Ian Gray, I'm sorry, I'm going to tell you off."
The receptionist nodded repeatedly, ran to the office behind her, opened the door, whispered a few words, and then turned back and saluted Reiner.
"Please come in, Mr. Ian Gray."
Reiner nodded and walked into the office.
This office is not big, and even compared to the status of the vice principal, Reiner feels small.
In the midst of the mountains of manuscripts and materials, a balding old man is sitting behind a slightly old desk.
He wore one-sided glasses, and there was still a half-read book in his hand, the old man put down the bookmark, slowly closed the book, looked at Reiner with a pair of unclouded eyes, and then spoke.
"You're that Reiner. Ian Gray, I've heard Parcival mention you. ”
His voice was old, but it was full of energy, and even from a certain distance, Reiner could hear it clearly.
"Good afternoon, Vice Chancellor Puerdo."
After a brief pleasantry, Reiner explained his intentions.
"I came to bother this time because I recently read a paper written by a graduate of this school, and some of the ideas in it inspired me, so I wanted to find the source of inspiration mentioned in the paper, but I found that the paper had been destroyed for some reason, and the original author of the paper was your student, the vice principal."
"My student?"
Vice Principal Puerdo's expression was a little confused, I don't know if it was because he had too many students, or because he couldn't think of any student's paper that would make Reiner break the tradition again and again. Ian Gray was inspired.
"Well, yes, his name is Siris. Oldman, if the student registration information is correct, he entered the Asterl High School of Magic twelve years ago and left eight years ago, during which time, the tutor in charge of his graduation thesis was you, the vice principal. ”
Reiner said, but he didn't expect Vice Principal Pudoldo to hear his words, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked incredulous.
"Siris...... He? ”
After a moment of silence, Vice Principal Pudoldo sighed softly.
"I didn't expect that after all these years, I could still hear someone mention his name."
