"This is where the Dean of the Kestrel Academy works, and during the time that the Dean of Dugol College is away, Acting Dean Reeves is asked to work in this place temporarily, as for the future... Maybe by the time the head of the Dugol Academy returns, Lord Reeves has already accepted the new assignment..."Several vice presidents of the same status are respectfully welcoming Reeves into the Kestrel Academy, introducing the surroundings and explaining to each other what the head of the Dugol Academy usually does.

Due to the winter break, no one saw the compliments on the vice deans, except for a few members of the Capital Oversight Council, who were very keen on student activities, and those construction workers who were expanding the Kestrel Academy.

Reeves' face was hidden behind the mask, and Avi, who had been with him for several days, couldn't see the expression behind the white mask, but Avi was sure that the code of conduct of this person named Reeves was absolutely different from that of Dugol, and ordinary flattery didn't mean much.

Reeves walked around Dugol's room before closing the door, leaving Avi alone in the room, and the others were mercilessly barred from the door, without a word, as if none of the people who had introduced him had ever existed.

"Lord Reeves..."

"Avi, don't be restrained, I still need your great help to carry out my work in the future," Reeves sat directly in Dugol's position, without any shredging, "How did you think about the task you told you that day?"

Reeves' remarks to Dorothea were not echoed by Dorothea, but those words were also related to Avi. Avi had never thought that he would be the person in charge of escorting Koth back to the Duchy of Dlaman, because Bradley and Eggsy had never mentioned such a thing to him, and their status did not match.

However, Reeves's words that day were obviously not his idea, and perhaps Bradley asked him to tell him, because Bradley had intentionally or unintentionally alienated Avi half a year ago. Faced with being asked the same question again, this time Avi was mentally prepared.

"If this is a task I am responsible for, I will definitely do my best to complete it!"

"Very good, worthy of being the most valued student of the Regent, Avi, you have impressed us, and we have affirmed your courage and courage enough. Since you are willing to accept this task, then we will discuss another matter with you, and you must listen carefully. ”

Reeves stood up as he spoke, placing his finger on the neatly thick rows of books on the shelves behind him, slowly scanning the collection of papers that recorded the history of the kingdom. Avi was nervous, he hadn't thought he would have a real, specific, important task before he could finish his studies at Kestrel Academy, but Reeves's attitude didn't seem like a joke.

"Lord Reeves, please. Avi swallowed.

"I want you to go on an investigative mission before you leave Mallotte and head to the Duchy of Deramain," Reeves stopped his finger and tilted his head slightly, so that Avi could see that Reeves's ears were particularly pointed, "Investigate those college ghosts at the Kestrel Academy." ”

The ghost of the academy? Sure enough, you can't turn a blind eye. Avi thought to himself. Ever since the appearance of the College Ghost in Byron's Quarters, Bradley and others who have seen the College Ghost have avoided talking about it. When an unknown fellow disrupts the order of the kingdom repeatedly and appears on various important occasions in an attempt to change the trajectory of the kingdom's history, it stands to reason that the ruler should have started to find him or them out, and he or she should be questioned or even tortured.

Avi had always insisted that the unruly blue-haired senior Syrannos was the ghost of the Academy, and he had confirmed that this was the truth in many ways, but he had no definite evidence, so he never made up his mind to talk to Bradley about it. And the impact of the Ghost of the Academy in that incident undoubtedly had a positive effect on Bradley's ascension to the top of the kingdom's power, which made Avi a little confused.

Just as Avi was thinking wildly, Reeves threw out a mask and threw it on his desk.

Avi looked at it and noticed that it was the mask that Cyrannos had given him after the banquet, it was something that the Academy Ghost would wear every time he appeared, and in Avi's eyes, it was a token of the Academy Ghost.

"This mask—" Avi put the mask that Silanos had given him at home.

"It's a token of the House Ghost," Reeves didn't stare at the mask, but instead observed Avi's reaction, "The House Ghost is something that the Lord Regent cares a lot about, and we can't handle this matter for some reason, so I want to give you the task of investigating them." ”

Avi then remembered Reeves's strange reaction in Byron's dormitory, and when the Academy Ghost appeared, the masked man's reaction had already indicated that he knew the House Ghost, but Bradley and the others did not pursue it because of this. This is also something that Avi can't understand, obviously this masked talent is the key to unlocking the ghost of the academy, why should this task be delegated to him?

"I... I don't have a clue about the haunting house ghosts..."Avi had no clue about the house ghosts, but he didn't have a clue about Bradley and Reeves' intentions. Obviously, the Kestrel Academy could be thoroughly investigated, there was an insider who worked for Bradley, and it was clear that the Capital Overseer might have something to do with the ghost of the Academy, but everyone seemed to turn a blind eye. Based on what Avi is now aware of, he thinks there is only one possibility, that is, Bradley's attitude towards the ghosts of the academy is not malicious, or even with some kind of kindness, so he will let himself investigate.

Reeves saw that Avi looked like he was in a dilemma again, and he coughed softly.

"There is no need to give us an answer to this matter now, but the matter of escorting the queen back to the Duchy of Dlamain will be confirmed by me, and I have received a definite answer from Avi, and I will inform the Lord Regent in the near future," Reeves was like a close and trustworthy partner, his tone was quite considerate, "Avi, you don't have to think too much, now that the Kingdom of Sarins is employing people, it is also in the midst of some changes, you can do your best." ”

By the time Avi came out of the Kestrel Academy, it was already snowing like a wing, and all the pedestrians on the road had pulled their winter hats very low, just looking at the road under their feet, as if they would slip if they were not careful.

"Isn't that Avi?" a rather familiar voice came from Avi's left, and Jieke and "Sunflower", the cadet representatives of the Capital Overseer, were not far away, stepping on the snowflakes on the ground.

"Now that you're a knight, you need to be respectful. A thick and luxurious winter coat covered the body of "Sunflower", but her skin was dark and yellow, her hair was split and dry, and she did not have the temperament of a rich family no matter how she looked at it.

Jaco's hair was combed neatly and neatly, and with his confident and charming smile, some young women passing by couldn't help but glance in his direction.

"Avi, are you also considering joining our Capital Overseer, we don't have knights here yet... Of course, there are no students who have not graduated. Jaco patted Avi on the shoulder from behind, and his smile was meaningful, making Avi want to subconsciously dodge.

Avi shook his head: "The Capital Overseer is a good student organization, and my good friend Felisty is also one of the representatives, and I may want to put ... More attention should be put elsewhere. ”

"Then take your own hands," Jaco took Sunflower's arm and walked in the direction of the Academy, waving his hand without looking back, "but I suggest you don't focus on Reeves, that person is not on the same side as the Kestrel Academy, he's just a traitor who has forgotten his heart." ”
