"Let me see..."Fan also noticed the thin piece of iron, and Avi immediately put down the only half of the Creri, and the words "Academy Ghost" made him instantly very sober.

"This place is an abandoned area in the city of Mallot, right next to the ruins of the old town, there is a lot of debris, garbage piled up and beggars, it is a dirtier and sloppy place than the ghetto, but the security there is good, probably because few people want to live there," Fan said after looking at the thin iron sheet several times, "the time is the day after tomorrow, who will engrave these strange messages on this iron plate..."

Avi tried to stand up and find the guy who handed him the food, but Fan stopped him and walked alone to the proprietress Jerry. Avi looked around from the position, and by the time Fan returned, Avi already had an idea in his mind.

"Did you ask why?"

"No, the hostess said that her men were honest people who followed the rules and would never throw anything into the copper basin with the food. ”

"Could it be the chef who made this dish?"

"I suspect it's someone else, another guest who was here just now," Fan leaned his mouth to Avi's ear and whispered, "Come to think of it, this piece of iron is engraved with the time and place, apparently revealing the information of the invitation to meet, and the words 'Academy Ghost' engraved on the back should be to identify yourself, in other words..."

Avi heard that Fan's analysis was similar to the answer in his heart, and he also said what he thought. Avi suspected that the ghost of the academy wanted to meet him and Fan, so he threw the thin iron sheet into the copper basin. However, Avi couldn't understand why the ghost of the academy was looking for him, and he didn't understand why the person who had left the thin iron sheet was sending him a message in this way, could it be that there was something wrong with this?

"The night after tomorrow, if the Ghost of the Academy is really going to meet you, guess what's going to be for?"

"I can't guess... The Academy Ghost lives in the Kestrel Academy, and every time he appears as a mysterious man, if he wants to find me..."Avi immediately remembered the last time the Academy Ghost appeared, and the other party threw Prince Walter a test about a traitor, "I really don't know. ”

Without much of a clue, the two quickly ate the food, checked out and left. Avi was still holding the thin piece of iron when he was lying on the bed, he didn't believe that it was some kind of accident, it must have been a message from the ghost of the academy to get to that place the night after tomorrow.

After returning from school the next day, Big Nose Fan immediately asked Avi about the situation at the Kestrel Academy. Avi shook his head, "Nothing happened today, and the ghost of the academy didn't appear, but I chatted with Prince Walter more often, and the other party didn't seem to care about the status of the person at all, and he could get along well with most of the students in our class." ”

"Didn't you suspect that guy named Cyrannos was the ghost of the Academy?"

"Yes, but he didn't show anything unusual when I spoke to him tentatively," Avi took the thin iron sheet on the table in his hand and looked at the window, "I'm going to put this piece of iron in front of him tomorrow, maybe I'll see the clue!"

"Anyway, if you decide to go to that place tomorrow, you have to come back and tell me first, and I should go with you..."

Avi glanced at Fan, "Is it just supposed to be?"

"Okay, okay, let's go together, I can't guarantee that I won't be in danger if I go to the appointment just like that!" Fan replied in the most impatient tone.

Avi actually put the thin piece of iron on the table during recess the next day, and he didn't show the side engraved with "House Ghost", but Avi had already noticed the way Cylaneus looked at the thin piece of iron. In the end, Silanos only glanced at it a few times and then ignored it, and Avi had to temporarily think that Silanos had nothing to do with this thin iron sheet.

"Avi-san, what do you think Miss Christine is?" Walter asked Avi when he was about to leave the school.

"Hmm... She is a noble and elegant student with excellent character and learning, I don't know much about her, I only see her when I usually go to and from class. ”

"yes, well, we... See you tomorrow. ”

On the way home, Avi ran into Commander Evan, whom he hadn't met in a long time. Evan was returning from outside the city with a group of wounded troops, but Avi, who immediately hid on the corner of the street, did not make eye contact with the other party, after all, the other party had become his "enemy", and now he could no longer talk and laugh like he did when he was outing outside the city.

"It's an abandoned area, it's leaning on the old town and the slums, so... The stench is already coming to his face..."Fan covered his big nose, and Avi also saw some garbage and waste discarded everywhere, and some ragged people appeared outside the dilapidated house. Few citizens walked the narrow streets, and Avi walked with Fan and a beggar-like woman into the depths of the abandoned area.

The beggar-like woman soon disappeared in the middle of the circle, leaving only Avi and Fan to continue walking quietly. According to Fan's memory of the map of the city of Mallot, a ruined bell tower was seen not far ahead, and the location carved on the thin iron sheet was the clock tower in the abandoned area.

Out of an abundance of caution, Avi decided to approach the abandoned bell tower first, while Fan took control of the wind in the distance. Since it was already dark and there was no fire around the abandoned area, Avi and Fan agreed to use a whistle as a code, a quick whistle to indicate danger and to act at the opportunistic opportunity, and a soothing whistle to indicate safety and to keep approaching.

Fan waited for Avi to walk to the abandoned bell tower and sat down on the spot, the breeze blowing, and he suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp - could it be that the ghost of the academy is really the ghost of the embodiment of the dead?

Avi tiptoed his way to the side of the abandoned bell tower, and with the little light he had left, he turned over and climbed to the second floor of the abandoned bell tower. Avi lay on the ground, slowly groping his way up the stairs to the first floor of the abandoned bell tower, until he saw a faint light coming from the first floor of the bell tower, and Avi was sure that someone had arrived before him.

There was a whispered conversation coming from the small room encased in the innermost part of the stone wall.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, although the previous two operations were only to capture some small characters, but this time, even if those two Imperial people are not traitors, they should be controlled as soon as possible, and Lord Stitch is still very useful. ”

"Ferrero, your ideas are too simple, I didn't lure them out because they are from the Empire, one of them actually obtained the official student qualification of the Kestrel Academy, and there have been a lot of troubles in the past half a year, this kind of performance is enough for us to doubt. If he does come here, it means that he has something to do with the Academy Ghost, or he knows something inside, and I need to find out the Academy Ghost who threw me a test, and at the same time complete the test that the other party put in front of me, so even if it is a little suspicious, I can't let it go easily. As soon as the other party spoke, Avi quickly covered his mouth with his palm, because the voice of the third prince Walter was coming from that small room!

"But Your Highness the Prince, is the Academy Ghost really our enemy?

"Brother Wang hasn't been tested yet, has he? Even if the Academy Ghost is a neutral faction, if he can't be used by me, then he should be eradicated as soon as possible, instead of leaving a legacy behind. ”

Avi soon understood something from the conversation between the two, it turned out that the thin piece of iron was the bait thrown by the third prince in order to lure himself here! Prince Walter was already secretly searching for traitors after being tested by the ghosts of the Academy! And this time he lured himself and Fan to abandon the bell tower because he suspected that he and Fan were traitors hiding in the kingdom of Salins!

Breathing fast and his heart was beating fast, Avi tried to suppress his nervousness, he didn't know what would happen if he and Fan were caught by Walter, but it was certain that he had to immediately remind Fan to get out of here quickly before he had room to maneuver!

Just as Avi was about to whistle the code, a large palm reached out from Avi's back and pressed it against Avi's newly exposed mouth.

"Little thief, if you dare to move, I'll let you die now. A cold female voice came from her ears, and before Avi could turn his head, he was held down by the other party's hands and lifted directly from the stone slab.

Avi was escorted to the door of the room by this woman, and the woman said outside the wooden door: "Your Royal Highness, that person was caught by me, and he had been hiding on the second floor just now to eavesdrop. ”

Walter opened the wooden door, and the first time he saw Avi, he said, "You really scared me, but I also thought that you would show up in this way, so I sent my most trusted subordinates to follow you." ”

Avi couldn't make a sound at all, and he made a "hmm, hmm" sound as he was twisted to the abandoned bell tower. What made Avi feel desperate for a moment was that the big-nosed fan was also caught by several of the third prince's personal guards.

"Hey, why don't you whistle!?" Van kept wriggling, and the rude soldiers were clearly uncomfortable tying him up. Avi saw more than a dozen soldiers standing around the abandoned bell tower with torches looking at the two of them with indifferent expressions, as if they were looking at prey trying to break free.

"Because we have been calculated from the beginning," Avi gritted his teeth, the woman who grabbed him was the female beggar who had been walking in front just now, but she didn't expect that she was the person sent by the third prince to follow him, "It's not that the ghost of the academy asked us to come, but..."

"It's me. Walter stepped out of the abandoned bell tower, a slender woman dressed in tattered clothes standing to his left, while a middle-aged man holding a thick book in his hand stood to his right, and Avi guessed that this man was Fremont who had just spoken to the third prince.

"It was Walter who brought us here—" Avi said in a low voice.

"Hello Avi, there's another... It must be the big nose that Greif said, right?"
