Chapter 24: The Race Against Bad Luck
Alver managed to stop coughing before his lungs flew out of his mouth.
Carl's back pat, the headmaster's stabilisation didn't work (Vincent had mistakenly used the scare used to stop the hiccups on Elfer's cough), and Alph had to wait for the cough to stop.
Alfer went to wash his face and panted out, intending to clean up the squirting himself, but when he returned, he found that Carl was almost done.
"Thank you, Carl......"
Carl squinted and laughed, "That's so kind, Elver. ”
"You're welcome, I threw up after the circle, and it was you and Vincent who took care of me......" Alfer was embarrassed to continue.
Karl waved his hand disapprerovingly, "So what? Vincent is your friend, but from my point of view, you saved me." Karl reminded Alver in a serious tone: "Now we'd better go to the headmaster, Vincent is chasing the headmaster's news that the village chief, you should know better than me how Vincent is in a hurry to speak, we need to worry about it - he may be beaten up by Mr. Headmaster again because of what strange name he said, you must know that the headmaster doesn't have much magic now, and Mr. Crent's stabilization technique just now is only barely released!"
Then, without waiting for Alver to say anything more, Karl took Alver's arm and led him into the study.
Vincent was really babbling to the head of the guards and the swordsmanship teacher, his expression and body movements were equally exaggerated to imitate the way Alfer had just choked, and said loudly, "Choking like this three times a day will definitely kill you in less than a week! Alfer doesn't have much time at all! I'm going to chase that trafficker village chief now! Immediately!
"Vincent......" Alfer looked at the few adults with unhappy faces, and quickly interrupted Vincent before he could suffer, "I'm fine, let's hear what the principal means first......"
"Old ......" Vincent swallowed back the old words, "the headmaster wants us to rest for two days!" Vincent covered his eyes and said, "Two days! Six unfortunate things! If you just lie down and do nothing, the bed may collapse and you will be half killed!"
"Mr. Headmaster, I think that although Brother Vincent may be overly excited, it is not unreasonable, with the simplest of tracking magic, we should be able to find that person in no time. Karl was on Vincent's side, "In a village like Diru, even if the village chief makes a fortune by buying and selling people, he will not be rich enough to have spare money to fight tracking, this is the village chief's house, it is not difficult to find the hair of the village chief who is rooted in the tracking, and Alver and I are almost rested, and we are fully capable of tracking the technique." ”
"We can save other innocent villagers!" Vincent added.
"But don't you think it's strange?" the principal reminded the three children, "the night before we arrived here, the robbers and the village chief and others were chasing other villagers who were against human trafficking, we were trapped in the curse for a day, and we rested for half a day, it stands to reason that they should have returned, the robbers may return to the camp, but the village chief and the others have all their property left in the village, if they are involved in human trafficking for money, then why don't the village chief and the others come back?"
Mi Lan leaned against the door of the study and suddenly spoke: "The surrounding area has been unsafe recently, I think it is better to confirm while tracking than to hold on and determine what is happening." She walked into the study and put her hand on Vincent's shoulder: "I agree with Vincent, choking on food is indeed a small thing, but the intensity is not small, and the event of bad luck is irreversible, and Alver's time is really short." If you're worried that the kids aren't resting well, I can lead the team to track them down. ”
Vincent, who had been panting by the adults, breathed as soft and even as a sleeping kitten the moment Ms. Milan's hand was on his shoulder, and he didn't talk much, just watching the headmaster nod desperately.
"Milan, wait a minute, you take half of your team and Luna, and lead the three children. The headmaster looked at Carl carefully for a while before continuing: "We should have evacuated Diru Village after the end, you and Luna will directly take the traffickers and children back to school, and Carl needs to register and divide classes in the school. ”
Mi Lan rubbed Vincent's hair, helping Vincent clean the blood scabs from the roots of his hair little by little, and asked the principal, "What if there are innocent villagers?"
"Bring them back to school, we can't just rely on their justifications to determine whether they are innocent or not, and give it to Telavi, in his hands it is difficult for ordinary people to lie. ”
"What should the village chief do?
"I've already written to the prison in Rocco, Rocco should have sent someone when you returned, give anyone involved in human trafficking, and tell the Banshee Rocco where the cell is. The headmaster narrowed his eyes and looked at the three children as if warning: "It is not our job to judge and punish criminals. ”
