Chapter 103: The Great Incident of Julianne (Part II)
"Is it really imperative to catch Peter first?"
In the auditorium, after the professors on patrol had gathered, using sound-blocking magic to prevent the students from overhearing their speeches, Mrs. Lauren looked at Sivi.
Just now, Sivi had already explained the situation to them in general.
Although on the surface, she is the highest person in charge here, but judging from what happened just now, it is obvious that Xiwei has more hands on handling the situation.
"Of course it's best to catch him, but we have to be prepared not to catch him. After all, there are so many mysteries in this castle that the chances of finding him are slim. Sivi sighed, although the bizarre magical world is very interesting, but when it comes to this time, it is also very helpless, of course, if it is a great magician like Bruno, it is a different matter.
"So what are we going to do?" An old man with a red nose lifted the oddly shaped crutches in his hand against the marble floor, making an aggressive sound. It seems that his temper is not very good: "Are you just waiting here to let that little imp who is only an earl see a joke!" ”
The strength of the Earl-level vampire and the mid-level mage is almost the same, and even Barnik was killed by the other party because of carelessness......
Sivi couldn't help but glance at him, but found that the crutch in the old man's hand was actually a very good staff. If the enemy doesn't notice this in battle, he may suffer a bad loss when he looks at it. Sure enough, there are few simple mages who can enter the middle level, and they are all experienced old fritters.
It's a pity that the life is still a little worse - this is also because magicians are in a respected position in human society.
"Actually, we don't have to worry so much," Sivi said with the old man's piercing gaze, "Let's start from the beginning." Whether human or bloodline, all people have a motive for their actions, and even the so-called freewheeling actions actually have a motive called 'self-gratification'. So what was Peter's motive for this action? ”
Several professors looked at each other - isn't it normal for vampires to attack humans? Motivation or anything, they never thought about it.
But they weren't stupid either, and after being guided by Sivi like this, they immediately began to think about it.
Obviously, if it was just for appetite, he would never have risked being spotted and blown into scum. So what did he make such a big fuss about......
Soon, they came up with a legend about the Academy.
"A. Lange's treasure?" After seeing the same suspicious expressions on the faces of the others as herself, Mrs. Lauren asked Sivi uncertainly.
"That's right, I looked into this with a couple of students not too long ago. Then I found some clues from the school's past history. Sivi nodded, confirming her guess.
He then succinctly laid out a list of inferences about Dursley's students.
First of all, it was about Dursley, although it was not known how he was related to the student back then. However, it is very likely that he returned to this academy because he obtained the clues left by the student back then, and searched for the treasure again for reasons such as washing away the shame or gaining strength.
And then not so long ago, Peter began spreading rumors about trolls. Even the footsteps in the night may have been made by Peter to add credibility - so that even if something happened about the troll, it would not be too obtrusive.
It wasn't until the rumors of the trolls had subsided a bit, and the most threatening head of the house had left the house, that Peter made a sudden move.
Although it is unknown whether he used Chu Zhu or other special indigenous magic, he should have obtained clues about the treasure from Dursley. After that, he used magic like Magical Blunt to create that destructive effect. While increasing the credibility of the troll's appearance, it completely destroyed Dursley, leaving the professors without the possibility of finding any clues from Dursley.
…,
Then, by contacting the other members of the Night Nobles, surrounding the Academy with bats, and cutting off the Academy's communication with the outside world - Lady Lauren had previously tried to contact the Dean through communication magic, but failed - judging by the number of bats, the members who helped Peter were at least Marquis.
In addition to insulating communications, bats can also act as guards. Prevent the people inside from running out to report to the outside world. Even if this kind of battle is not reported, the civilians outside should find out about the abnormality and report it to the Qiyao Mage Association, so that things will be much easier.
After making this hill an island, so that Captain Bruno could not rush back in a short time, Peter could do his best to search for the treasure.
It's just a pity. Before he could officially conduct a search, he was greatly damaged by Xiwei......
"You mean, the Dursleyan kid went back to school in search of the treasure. But for some reason, he was noticed by the nobles of the night, and sent Peter to obtain the location of the treasure from him. And then plan to open the treasure? ”
After listening to Sivi's words, Mrs. Lauren thoughtfully sorted out her thoughts: "To be honest, I don't really believe in this inference, and Mr. Edric also knows what the Tao is for, right?" ”
Sivi nodded again in understanding.
Yes, although his reasoning may sound plausible at first glance, it is actually full of loopholes because it is only a hasty guess.
"But there's nothing else to say at the moment, so we'll just take your inference as fact for the time being." However, the old lady changed her tone and said kindly: "Then Mr. Edric, can you give instructions as a temporary countermeasure professor?" ”
Sivi and the other teachers were stunned.
You must know that Mrs. Lauren's words are equivalent to directly handing over all the authority to Sivi!
Not only did Xiwei not expect it, but even the other professors did not expect that the vice dean would hand over such an important responsibility to a new guest professor who had been in the school for less than half a month.
"I trust Bruno's choice, and if he can trust you, I won't skimp on my trust." Under their gaze, the old lady smiled and said slowly: "If it is a guy he doesn't like, then whether it is the request of Lady Sharon or Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, he will not pay attention to it, so I am afraid that Dean Bruno has favored you from the beginning." ”
Compared to this, Sivi suddenly felt a subtle curiosity about the relationship between Madame Lauren and Dean Bruno.
Then her expression became serious again, and her originally somewhat rickety body also had a different sense of tallness at the moment, which made Xiwei, who was still thinking nonsense, a little breathless: "So Xiwei? Professor Edric, can I put this responsibility in your hands, which may be related to the survival of the Academy? ”
Spare me, I told all the information just so that I could hide behind the scenes and not get involved in the turmoil that followed. Sivi sighed secretly, but deep down in his heart was a different kind of feeling.
If escaping here causes some bad things to happen in the Lylian Academy, causing it to collapse or even dissolve directly, then even if you have your own academy in the future, you won't be able to become the number one in the world.
This feeling that haunted him for some reason made him hesitate.
And......
His gaze swept over the expressions of the professors around him, and then rested on the faces of his two students, as well as Sophia and Alice beside them.
"Leave it to me." Sivi took a deep breath, a sunny smile full of confidence on his face, straightened his pointed mage hat, placed his fist on his chest, and bowed slightly—this is one of the highest etiquette among magicians: "Take me Sivi?" In the name of Adric, he swore that he would do everything in his power to save the Lylian Academy from this disaster. ”
It's really nice to be trusted.
