Volume 3: The Vortex of Strife Chapter 253: The Traitor's Test (Part II)

"Why?"

Looking at Avina's somewhat stunned expression, Kesi smiled helplessly, "Because this is what King Byron meant, I don't know whether to thank him or not, because he said that my marriage should be chosen by myself." ”

"In that case, you can also choose yourself..."Before Avi could finish the sentence, he read the hint in Kesi's eyes - the so-called self-choice actually does not have much room for choice, after all, the Duchy of Dramain has already given Kosi to Mallote as a "gift". At that time, after escaping from Mallot, Coth did not choose to return to the Duchy of Deramain, but became a mercenary, and for this reason, she was destined to become a victim of diplomacy.

Some of Shaw's classmates began to gather behind Kiss, and Stitch and Phylisty noticed that Avi and Kleth were talking intimately.

"Alright, I'll keep it a secret!" Kleth nodded to Avi after noticing the other people's gazes, and turned back into the classroom, leaving Avi lost in thought.

The mild-mannered Prince Walter officially joined Class 4 that afternoon, first introducing himself to all the students and giving them a quill pen.

"This is a precious brush shipped from White Feather City, the white feather is made of swan feathers, and the goose feathers that have experienced wind and rain are not easy to fall off and deform, but I still hope that all students can take care of it. Walter's voice was crisp, and he spoke at a speed that was clear to all listeners.

Avi picked up the quill that had been handed to him, and he remembered that the sword that Prince Bradley had given him was also white.

"I don't write much, so if you like it, pick it up. Celenos cocked his chair and leaned back on it and shook it slightly, his face full of disdain.

"Alright then, I'll take it. ”

"If you accept other people's things, you have to look at other people's faces to do things, so I also like to give, so that is the real non-loss. Celenos said coldly as Avi first touched the white quill.

Clear footsteps came from the teaching platform, and the curly-haired prince dressed in civilian clothes walked up to Celenos and stretched out his right hand, "Hello, may I ask if you are the famous Celenos?"

"Oh, when did I become the famous Syrannos," Celenos didn't even reach out to shake Prince Walter's hand in front of everyone, he pulled back his hands that had been on the table and crossed them behind his head, "Besides, you're a freshman at the Kestrel Academy, and I'm older than you, so you should call me 'senior'." ”

Avi instantly felt a hot breath surging from his body to his face, he couldn't believe that Cyranos would say such a thing, as Celenos's tablemate, Avi couldn't wait to immediately walk outside the classroom and hide from a distance to watch the development of the situation. The other students also opened their mouths wide, and the teacher who was about to give the lecture stared at Celenos with the most serious eyes, but Celenos's eyes were half-closed and half-open, as if no one could see them.

Walter took his hand back, "Sure enough, it's a special student, I believe you will be a talent, or a geek, then I'll sit here." Walter pointed to the gap between Cyranos and Avi, where a chair could be placed, as Celenos had asked Avi not to come so close.

"I'm sorry, this is the place of my good friend Avi, Avi, why are you sitting so far away?" Avi was startled, he was watched by Cylaneus and Walter, not knowing whether to move his chair a little bit.

"Alright then, I'll sit here. This time, Walter didn't use his finger, but walked directly to Avi's side, and between him and Syrannos there was a horse farm boy from Goldhoof City.

Walter behaves like a very serious student in class, Avi sees that Walter's handwriting is very beautiful, and the notes he takes are also very detailed, if there is anything that makes Avi uncomfortable, Walter often touches his hair, or tidies his clothes, like a noble lady who likes to dress up.

Walter also chatted with Avi, who knew that Avi was a "brave man" who killed the Imperial Inquisitor and renounced his status as an Imperial. Walter greatly appreciated Avi's choice, believing that the Oguna Empire had been divided into two, and that publicly abandoning the identity of the Empire at this time was a move to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, which made many Empire people living in Mallot follow suit and gain the respect of other Sallins Kingdoms.

Finally staying up until the end of class and getting home, Felistie and Stitch both blocked Avi, and one stood to the side, constantly asking Avi questions. Stitch wants to know about Prince Walter, and the red-haired girl once again throws out the idea that Avi and Miss Christine have a close relationship, leaving Avi unsure of how to answer.

"Could it be that Prince Walter asked you to send a message to Christine?" Stitch suddenly connected the thoughts in his head, "If my fiancΓ©e is as gentle and lovely, pure and beautiful as Miss Christine, then I will also want to be with her all the time, and there will definitely be endless topics to talk about!"

"Is it gentle and lovely..."Avi remembered the image of Kesi when she was in the Moon Shield Mercenary Group and the Potato Mercenary Group, it was impossible for Kesi to have anything to do with the Principality's eldest lady, more like a village girl who didn't like to do rough work.

The test thrown by the ghost of the academy soon spread throughout Mallot, the last test put Princess Winlith in prison for a month, and at the same time let the people see the resolute, fair and upright side of Prince Amsul, so this test has also been taken seriously by all parties, and has become a topic of conversation on the streets and alleys.

"O traitor, do you know who might be a traitor?"

"How could I have anything to do with that kind of person..."Ah Wei and Fan heard some passers-by whispering on the way to "Hot and Sour Blackberry", "But as far as I know, that academy ghost may be a traitor! There are no three hundred taels of silver here, their identities are already very suspicious, and they are constantly sabotaging in the Kestrel Academy, and throwing out these so-called tests probably has ulterior motives." ”

"You seem to have a point..."

The big-nosed fan walked away before saying to Avi: "It makes sense, these little people really don't understand anything, no wonder they are so poor!"

"If they were smart people, they wouldn't be discussing this kind of thing on the street, and they would be discussing it so loudly," Avi glanced back, and another citizen gathered around, and the three of them continued to discuss in a low voice, "but judging from the recent situation, everyone is focused on the test thrown by the ghost of the academy, which is also a good thing." ”

"What's so good?"

"Then maybe you can really find a traitor who intends to overthrow the kingdom of Sarins. ”

"Do you really think of yourself as a native of the Kingdom of Sarins?" Fan patted Avi on the back, and pushed the other party forward, pushing Avi directly into the "Hot and Sour Blackberry", "People can't forget their roots!"

When the two of them sat down, the guys in the shop expertly brought in some fresh raw meat and let Avi and Fan roast it.

"By the way, I'd like to tell you a piece of information I've heard recently," Fan whispered as he sprinkled all the pieces of raw beef with spices, "I don't know who the traitor is, but I have a little clue about the true identity of the ghost of the Academy." ”

"Really?!" Avi almost choked on the Kerry that had just been poured into his mouth, and he immediately put down the bottle and leaned his ear to it.

"I heard from the 'Cat's Nest' that a mask suspected to be a ghost of the House had been discovered, in the home of a Kestrel Academy graduate. ”

"Graduates?"

"That's right, there was a 'cat' who claimed to have stumbled upon the mask at a friend's house, and later realized that the mask was the one the house ghost wears every time he appears in a discussion with other 'cats'!"

"The other 'cats'?

Big Nose Fan waved his hand, "I'll tell you honestly, people who eat in the 'cat nest' don't put all their chips on the 'line', we will also have a party in private, only for the 'cats'." People will be there to share information 'frankly' and not as inhibited as they are in the 'cat's kennel'. ”

Avi showed a mysterious expression, "Then you must not hide anything from me!"

"Don't worry, I'm just mixing in with those people to protect myself, if something happens to you, it's like something happens to me, of course I can't put myself in a dangerous situation!" Fan put the raw beef on the iron rack and prepared to roast the meat, "Anyway, that graduate's home does have a mask of the ghost of the academy, as for the following... I don't know very well, but I heard that the graduate no longer lives at the Kestrel Academy, and he has become an officer serving in the city defense. ”

Avi followed up and found that the big-nosed fan hadn't gotten much useful information, but the secret of the academy's ghost was finally a bit of an eyebrow. When Rost had asked Avi to "monitor" Celenos's movements, Avi did just that, and he saw something that had nothing to do with the ghosts of the Academy, all of which pointed out that there were a lot of secrets behind Celenos.

Just as Ah Wei and Fan whispered, a guy from the store walked into the box with a very special food, "This is a new dish in our store, called 'Sour Plum Wine Soaked Smoked Duck Slices', which was specially given to the two of them by the proprietress of Jerry." "I haven't heard of this dish since I was here last time, but since it's a food that was delivered, you're welcome.

As soon as Fan raised his fork and knife, Avi found a thin slice that did not look like duck meat in the copper basin containing duck meat and sour plum wine, "What is this?" Avi pulled out the thin slice with a spoon, and found that the thin iron sheet was engraved with a time and place, and the words "Academy Ghost" were engraved on the reverse side of the sheet.
