Chapter 81: Something to do with the archbishop?
Arnold, who was riding on horseback, changed from a blank face to a frown and a wry smile, even if the sun was shining outside the library, this thing was a little creepy.
"Miss Tzu, can Arnold really hear us?"
Liu Ci patted the dust off his hands, "Maybe it's possible that the Soul Eater deliberately showed it to us?" Let's go, the weather is good, let's go to the academy. ”
Shaded by trees, Building Six was gloomy and uncomfortable to stay on a campus with a beautiful view, and Lydia readily agreed.
Liu Ci slammed the door shut, whether it was Arnold calling for help or the Soul Eater's conspiracy, now was not the time to deal with the other party.
……
While Liu Ci and Lydia were visiting the thousand-year-old academy, Izzy Casey was also arguing with the academy's higher-ups.
"Since it's a Eater of Souls, we can't continue to care about face, it seems that we have to invite the Priest of Light." It was the second-year discipline director with thinning hair who spoke.
The Vice-Chancellor in charge of learning materials disagreed:
"Mr. Casey said that the mercenary he brought in seems to be able to deal with this Eater of Souls, so we don't need to alarm the priests of light in the city, right?"
Soul Eaters are not a trivial matter, and if they are not handled well, they can easily affect the safety of students.
But the reputation of Amster School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is also important, and the Vice Chancellor has always disapproved of the Light Priests, who are often associated with the Light Priests and dark creatures. The Priest of Light is so valuable that he can guess with his toes that there are dark creatures at work in the Academy of Magic - what would outsiders think of Amster School of Magic? You must know that for thousands of years, in everyone's cognition, only evil and bloody places will breed dark creatures. They are the only magical academy in the Grand Diocese of Amster, a holy temple for the study of natural magic, and no such rumors are allowed to flow out!
The vice principal's thoughts, the second-year director of discipline could not guess, if he had such a vision of taking the overall situation into account, he would not have been unable to be promoted in the position of director of discipline for many years.
Isn't it because the director of discipline is rigid and stubborn, and he has a bad relationship with his colleagues and superiors?
It's only after the Vice-Chancellor and the Director of Discipline that Izzy Casey and the Director of Discipline have finished arguing that they are reminded about the painting.
"Edward? Ladies and gentlemen, do you have such a student in your impression? ”
Around the long table, there are dozens of teachers sitting, and some of them have been teaching for decades. As Izzy Casey said, the name "Edward" is so common that after all these years, who remembers that among the students he taught, there was not such a person who liked to draw?
The eldest instructor stared at the painting for a while, and his face suddenly became very strange.
"Director Hubble, if you have something to say, just say it." The Vice-Chancellor discovered an anomaly in the Director of Discipline.
Mr. Hubble, who had always been upright, suddenly spat out at this time, "I remember a person who loves to draw......"
Everyone looked at the old director with very expectant eyes, and Mr. Hubble was heartbroken, and simply said bluntly:
"He is not a student, no, it should be said that not only was he a student of Amster, but he was also retained to teach because of his excellent grades, and he was not transferred until he was finally transferred by the Holy See."
Teacher Casey, who knows the history of the school, frowned: "Are you talking about Mr. Edward Wren?" ”
As soon as Casey's voice fell, the entire office fell silent.
At this moment, even the vice principal's face became ugly.
The Amster School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has produced countless excellent magicians, and the name of Edward Wren is definitely among the best graduates of recent decades.
He was a foreign student from the Xiyi Empire, and he excelled during his time at the Amster School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was hired as a classroom teacher by the academy after graduation. More than 20 years ago, at an event, the priest of light in the diocese of Amster took a fancy to him, and recommended Mr. Edward Wren to join the Holy See organization.
More than 20 years later, Edward Wren, an outstanding graduate of Amster School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, officially became the Archbishop of the "Diocese of Srmon" two years ago - he is the first non-convent archbishop of the Holy See in recent centuries, and a place has been reserved for Bishop Edward in the newly built memorial of Amster School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Now Mr. Hubble's words have linked the outstanding graduates of this magic academy to the evil Eater of Souls, and no one in the office dares to answer.
The bishop of the eight dioceses, his status is definitely comparable to that of the president of the Academy of Magic.
Below the Pope, there are only eight archbishops in the entire continent, and there are more than eight magic academies. Although the Amster School of Magic and Wizardry is a little harder and larger, it can't directly smear the archbishop's face!
"Casey, you go and check this quietly, don't alarm the others. Gentlemen present, I hope that you will keep your mouth shut and not give out any information, for this is, after all, only unsubstantiated suspicion, and I do not like it to cause reputational damage to the honorable Mr. Bishop. ”
The teachers at the long table all nodded in unison like chickens eating rice.
Director Hubble sighed, no matter how stupid he was, he really couldn't invite the Priest of Light to come now.
Izzy Casey looked out the window, and the vice-principal told him not to alarm anyone, implying that he should not look into the matter again.
But if you don't find out the identity of the Eater of Souls, and you can't find its weaknesses and bones, can you really deal with the Eaters of Souls with two female mercenaries?
I hope this matter doesn't make a big fuss.
Izzy Casey is genuinely worried.
…………
"Mr. Kathy, are you trying to tell me that in the time you disappeared, you only found the identity of the author of the oil painting?"
A long leaf was wrapped around his hand in a circle, and Liu Ci looked at His Excellency the Magician who was sitting still.
Izzy Casey was embarrassed, "I've disappointed you two, and the trouble level of the mission has exceeded my expectations, as for the bounty, we can discuss it again." ”
Liu Ci sneered: "I'm afraid that under your secretive attitude, I won't have the life to get that little mountain-like gold coin!" ”
After the meeting ended, he went out of his way to check the signature that Bishop Edward Wren had left at the college, and it was indeed the same as the handwriting on the painting. There is no doubt that Bishop Edward Wren was involved in the Eater of Souls, but Casey could not continue to investigate, the oil paintings could no longer be circulated, and the arrogant magician was speechless in the face of Liu Ci's strong province.
Liu Ci was upset when he saw him passively refuse with silence, and simply drove the young magician away.
When Izzy Casey was far away, Liu Ci asked Lydia, "Who is the Edward Wren he is talking about?" ”
When the new bishop took office, according to the custom of the Holy See, he was to announce to the mainland, and Lydia was also hesitant, "Could it be Bishop Edward?" ”
Under Lydia's explanation, Liu Ci's anger was ignited again, "Archbishop of the diocese of Srmont? I have a grudge against the diocese of Srmont, isn't it, one or two are not reassuring! ”
Since the Marquise Claude Stleiff also served in the diocese of Srmont, Lydia felt that Liu Ci was angry.
Liu Ci's temper came and went quickly, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai a few words, and her mind turned to how to solve this matter.
Now that the matter involves a certain bishop of the Holy See, Liu Ci, who is naturally at odds with the Holy See, feels that he cannot give up this opportunity. Standing on the shore of the artificial lake in Building No. 6, seeing that it was still early, Liu Ci suddenly pointed to the building on the other side of the bank that was under construction: "Lydia, do you remember asking those students today, what did they say it was?" ”
Lydia nodded, "Hall of Fame at Amster Academy of Magic and Wizardry." ”
Liu Ci smiled, "Guess what, will Mr. Edward Wren also have a seat in it?" ”
"Shall we take a look, then?" Lydia asked.
Of course I have to check it out.
Since it is a memorial hall that was built, what kind of work did it stop for some reason? Liu Ci didn't think that the Amster School of Magic would be short of construction funds.
Coincidentally, the sixth building of the library will be a white tiger, related to the celebrity memorial hall under construction, if it is said that the small white tiger will awaken the soul eater, now Archbishop Edward Wren has strung the two places with invisible threads.
Liu Ci thought as he walked, and together with Lydia, he bypassed the artificial lake and came to the memorial hall that had not yet been completed.
For a period of time, the entire open space in front of the memorial hall was stacked with polished and smooth marble, and the main building was actually almost built, and the memorial hall was only missing a roof.
According to the architectural style of the Spur Country, the roof is an exceptionally beautiful existence in a building, and its construction involves a large number of shapes and reliefs, which is a very important project from the overall point of view.
There were no caretakers on the construction site, and Liu Ci and Lydia walked in smoothly.
The memorial hall, which has no roof and no glass windows, is ventilated on all sides, and standing on the "rooftop" on the top floor, Lydia shuddered inexplicably.
Liu Ci looked around, if it weren't for the fact that the ground was all inlaid with the strongest stone bricks, she really wanted to pry up the whole ground and dig three feet into the ground to find out the secret of Archbishop Edward Wren.
When ancient China broke ground, it was necessary to look at the yellow calendar, and the reason for such attention was that it was afraid of disturbing something that would cause disaster.
If the White Tiger in Library Building 6 was caused by the construction of the memorial hall, the secret of the Soul Eater's awakening must be contained between the attic and the memorial.
A new building that is ventilated on all sides can only hide secrets on the ground, right?
Liu Ci clasped his hands in contemplation, groping his chin with his hands from time to time.
- To pry or not to pry is a big problem.
