43 The Missing Bachelor

In the room, Jacob, who had always been gentle in front of Allen, looked angry at this time, and he slapped the table loudly while shouting: "The scholar is missing, why don't you tell us!?"

"I reported it, but you Samuel are so messy, no one pays attention to me!" replied to him a tall, thin young man with short brown hair and many freckles on his face, who was now cowering, obviously very afraid of Jacob.

There was some truth to what he said, and Samuel's confusion did disrupt something.

However, when he said this, Jacob laughed angrily: "So you are openly recruiting prostitutes here, and you don't care about your teacher's life or death at all?"

"My lord, I want to find the teacher, but this person is not familiar with the place, where can I find him. It seemed that he felt that he was very reasonable, and the thin and tall young man quibbled weakly: "I am also very sad and anxious when the teacher is missing, and I am in a hurry and the pressure is great, and I can't hold back the pressure... In fact, I recruited. The prostitutes are all because the teacher is missing. ”

"You ....." Jacob raised his hand with raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to hit someone, but seeing the thin and tall man dodging in a panic, he finally didn't do it, sighed and shook his head, he looked at Allen: "What do you think." ”

"I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Alan looked at the interesting tall and thin man thoughtfully, touched his chin and said, "The scholar has disappeared along with the guards, what does that mean?"

"Someone kidnapped? or?" Jacob also regained his senses, thinking back to the information he had just obtained, and suddenly frowned and looked at the tall and thin Newt, "What did your teacher do after he went crazy?"

"I, I don't know, the teacher has been in the room since he went crazy, and I don't dare to go near there except to deliver food. Newt responded with a dodgy look, and I have to say that his acting skills are very lame, and fools can see that he has news to hide.

Naturally, Jacob was suspicious of this, and he snorted coldly: "What are you hiding? For your teacher or for yourself? I now suspect that you have something to do with the disappearance of the scholar, what do you think?"

"No, no, I really don't know about the teacher's disappearance!" explained the tall and thin man in a panic.

"Then you always know what happened to your teacher?" Alan said step by step, "Is it really crazy?" or fake crazy?"

"Y-Why do you ask?" the tall, thin man took a few steps back in a panic, as if in disbelief.

"It's very simple, I've been in contact with patients, and now you've seen it, and it's not good. Alan smiled: "There are also many maids who have come into contact with her, before your teacher, why are they all fine?"

"That's because the teacher found something they didn't!" the tall and thin man explained. However, hearing him say this, Alan and Jacob glanced at each other, and finally confirmed their previous guess.

The madman is tired!

"Why didn't you tell us the same thing before?" Jacob took a few steps forward and grabbed Newt by the collar and asked, "Why are you hiding this? Who instructed you to hide it?" Or do you have some ulterior motives?"

"I, I didn't—" The tall and thin man struggled, but it was in vain, he couldn't break free from an apocalypse.

"I suggest you take him back to the castle dungeon, and he will be honest. Alan scared people on the side: "Anyway, he is not a nobleman, an inconsequential commoner, even if he dies here, no one cares." ”

Jacob also seemed to nod in a move, and then dragged the tall and thin man to walk towards the door, seeing this, the tall and thin man was completely panicked: "You can't do this!"

"Why?"

"I..."

"Unless you can prove your own innocence. ”

"I...."

"You'd better not answer anything, it's been a long time since I've fiddled with those cute little ones, and it's exciting to think about it to be able to use it again from you. Alan pretended to smile gloomily, and with the ubiquitous magic, Newt naturally thought of something bad, so he shuddered: "The teacher won't let me tell you!" Dragged out of the doorframe, he finally spoke the truth out loud.

"Your teacher?"

Hearing him say this, the two were a little stunned, and Jacob hurriedly asked, "Your teacher is not crazy?"

"Yes. Seeing that Jacob let go of him, he hurriedly took a few steps back towards the room, and then lowered his head gloomily: "The teacher has never been crazy, he just doesn't want you to know." ”

"What don't you want us to know?" Jacob asked.

"I don't want you to know what he's found. ”

"What discovery?"

"I really don't know this, this kind of secret that needs to be pretended to be crazy to hide, the teacher can't tell me. The tall and thin man didn't seem to be hiding anything, his face was full of bitterness, and under the questioning of the two, he said it all in one go.

To put it simply, the scholar from the capital did not go crazy when he treated Renee at that time, but seemed to have discovered some great secret from Renee's illness, and then he pretended to be crazy and stupid for a long time in order to hide this secret, as if he was afraid that others would know, including the Samuel family.

Then, taking advantage of the turmoil before Samuel, he used some means to bewitch the Samuel guards who were responsible for taking care of them, and then disappeared here.

What kind of secret deserved him to do so?

"Graves is a very upright and serious man, and it's unlikely that he would do such a thing, unless it's something special?" Jacob didn't believe his old friend would "betray" Samuel, so he tried to make his guess on the bright side.

"Probably, but it's a fact that he's not crazy anyway. Walking down the street on horseback, Alan said, "This means that Renee's disease is really not contagious, so you don't have to be so careful to tie her up." ”

Without waiting for Jacob to speak, he added, "Also, since the scholar has discovered something, he may know the real way to cure Renee, and if we find him, the matter will be counted, and the situation will not be worse than before." ”

Jacob wouldn't have been unaware of this, but he was now immersed in the strange behavior of his old friend, and he had no time to think about anything else, and when he heard Allen's words, he nodded, and then looked back at the house that was faintly visible: "Do you think that guy is hiding something? about his teacher's whereabouts?"

"I don't think he should have anything to hide. Alan thought about the performance of the tall and thin man before, and thought: "Unless his acting skills are seamless, it is impossible not to show the slightest flaw." ”

And he didn't have to hide anything. It's not good for him, immortals fight mortals suffer, I think he should understand this truth. ”

"Hopefully. Jacob sighed and said helplessly, "I should have come here a long time ago." ”

"If you come early, you won't necessarily find anything, right?" Alan disagreed: "In the face of a bachelor who pretends to be stupid, unless he is as stunned as his apprentice, it is impossible to expose anything." ”

"But at least it's possible. Jacob shook his head.

Shrugging his shoulders, Alan didn't respond, and then suddenly asked, "By the way, since you asked him to treat Renee, does this scholar have any strange methods?"

"He?" Jacob glanced at Alan and said, "Like you, Graves is a mage. ”

"Mage?" Alan was intrigued.

"Yes, a mage who refines the soul system should be better than you, after all, he is several rounds older than you. Jacob wasn't sure about this, so he looked at Alan and asked, "Speaking of which, what is your strength? It shouldn't be bad to be able to escape from the elementalization warlock in an instant, right?"

"I used a special method. Alan wanted to say that he was actually a rookie, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he should be much better than a rookie.

"How could a soul mage be a scholar in the Bachelor's Tower?" he changed the subject without a trace.

"It's not surprising," said Jacob, "that the average human perception of the Bachelor's Tower is not the same as the real Bachelor's Tower. ”

"Oh?"

"There are two types of towers, the outer towers and the inner towers, and in a general sense, we are talking about the outer towers, and Graves was born in the inner towers. ”

"Neta?" Alan raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Jacob nodded, "it has another name, and it should be famous among your mage community - the Tower of Souls. ”
