Chapter 12 Inquiry
The tragedy soon alarmed the school authorities.
Before Xiao Yan could figure out what to do, several powerful professors broke in.
While the school workers were trembling and cleaning up the fragments of Professor Hancock, Xiao Yan and the other four were examined by the professors' memories because of the terrible accident of divination, and then they were called to the principal's office one by one for questioning.
Headmaster Tyberion, the most powerful and wise mage of Holmonwood House, is personally in charge of the investigation into the tragedy. Legend has it that he lived to be 500 years old and will continue to live. His rich life experience allows him to easily identify people's lies.
Sonya, Galadia, and Luo Ze were summoned to the secret room individually one by one for questioning, and finally it was Xiao Yan's turn.
"Come in, kid." The principal touched his white beard and beckoned to Xiao Yan.
"Lord Tiberion." Xiao Yan respectfully saluted the strong man.
"You may be seated, Mr. Griffith." The principal greeted him kindly, and did not have the same sad face as the other professors because of the tragedy.
But Xiao Yan didn't dare to be careless. Although the headmaster was mild-mannered, it was clear from the fact that he had called everyone for questioning alone, and that he was carefully searching for the truth of the matter. If Xiao Yan had already been subjected to some kind of torture illusion at the same time as entering this secret room, this would definitely not be an unexpected thing.
"What happened to Professor Hancock is very deplorable and regrettable. She is a colleague and friend of mine for many years. "I've heard Miss Sonia and her account go about it, and the professors have checked your memories of the tragedy. Mr. Griffith, is there anything you need to alert me? ”
Griffith carefully pondered his answer, and on the other hand, cheered himself up. Even if there was any way for President Tybrion and the other professors to be able to read minds, he should not be able to understand the secrets that Xiao Yan needed to keep in the plane rift to which Xiao Yan belonged, otherwise the plane world would be too child's play.
"After Professor Hancock began divination," Xiao Yan said, "I sensed a strong will. Our divination alarmed him, and he was then counterattacked. ”
Xiao Yan said what he cared about, "Is such a thing really possible?" Headmaster, I mean, the mere act of a glimmer of will can tear apart Professor Hancock's mind and body. ”
The Headmaster's expression was very serious, but he replied without the slightest hesitation, "Divination is a very convenient spell that can help us recover lost items, or identify clues that our superficial consciousness has overlooked. However, the essence of divination is to detach the spirit from the physical body and explore it without outside interference. ”
The headmaster paused and said, "However, the exclusion of outside interference also means that our souls have lost the protection of our bodies. ”
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Above the real world we live in, there is a space that is entirely made up of energy and will." The headmaster pondered his words, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask Xiao Yan anything, but seriously answered his doubts: "We can enter the void and other planes to explore the mysteries, but in the same way, some evil and terrifying beings are also entrenched there. ”
"As soon as we touch their forbidden places, the will and soul of the soothsayers will be exposed to their will and power. It will even open a portal to the real world for them. Xiao Yan was surprised to notice that the principal deliberately used the third person to describe the gods.
"So dangerous?" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, "Then why is divination not banned?" ”
"Divination is a profound and useful science, and it is difficult for a learned wizard to part with." The headmaster shook his head: "What's more, it's not easy to strayed into those forbidden places that exist. Only special objects that embody a part of the will of those beings can accidentally connect with them, such as your strange teeth. Unfortunately, we didn't find any information from it, and we didn't dare to try divination at random. ”
"I have one more question, Your Excellency." Xiao Yan recalled the experience of divination and then asked.
"Well, let's talk about it."
"What is that will that shredded Professor Hancock in divination?"
"Son, have you ever heard of a proverb - don't look at God directly?" The Headmaster said with a serious expression, "Above the void of will, there are many beings that we cannot understand, and even the mere mere look at their forms or chant their true names will have terrible consequences. One breath of Them can drive us crazy, and even a quick glance can destroy us. ”
"I don't think it's a god, though." Xiao Yan thought for a moment, "When he touched his will, he said, 'Who disturbed my dormancy, who spied on my secrets. ”
"Oh?" The headmaster raised an eyebrow.
"If it's a god, I'm afraid that if you don't bother to talk nonsense with us, you will directly burn our eyes and light us into torches!" Xiao Yan said.
Yes, although the existence in the void is terrifying, it is still a little less imposing than the gods...... Xiao Yan complained amusefully.
"Hahaha, interesting idea." The gloom on the headmaster's face also dissipated a little, "But no matter what, this is also a secret and powerful existence. Mr. Griffith, don't try anything like that again......"
The principal then asked some more questions, and finally confiscated Xiao Yan's mission items.
Thankfully, this side quest didn't fail.
……
Only Joshua and Flora were the only members of the guardian team who qualified as trainees, and went back to their rooms to rest that night with Sonia and Roze.
After the horrors of the Divination Room, Sonia and Roze nearly had a mental breakdown. Although Xiao Yan blocked their vision in time after he came to his senses, the two girls still learned the general situation from Professor Hancock's broken voice. Even Luo Ze, who was a big sister, was so frightened that his hair stood on end. The two of them drank some of the calming water given by the principal and professors before they eased up a little.
Galadia leaned against the wall thoughtfully. She quickly came to her senses after the tragedy, and when she got up, she looked directly at Professor Hancock's disintegration piece by piece, but she didn't show anything out of the ordinary, and she didn't scream.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Yan walked past her and asked softly. He was very worried that the girl looked fine, but he was actually frightened crazy.
"Huh? What's up? Galadia looked at him as if she had put her memories in a box and stored them somewhere else, "I'm not afraid of this."
