Avi rubbed his eyes several times before he could barely see what was around him, "What about Fan!?"

"You didn't even say a word of thanks, and your companion was rescued and there he was. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Fenrir pointed to another corner of the abandoned house, where two members of the city guards were standing, and behind them appeared the figure of Fan, who was relieved when he saw Fan constantly slapping the dust on his body.

It turned out that Avi and Fan were taken away from the abandoned bell tower by Fenrir's men in the chaos, and Fenrir immediately asked his subordinates to take Avi and Fan away first, and he planned to wait for the dust to clear in the abandoned area before dealing with the third prince, Walter.

"That academy ghost is going to be dealt with immediately, and it dares to make such a show on the head of the city guards, really..."Fenrir grumbled as he walked out of the hut.

Avi, holding a thin piece of iron in his hand, was taken to the barracks outside the city, where the eldest prince Bradley was waiting for the two of them in the commander's tent. In addition to the eldest prince, the female general Gadia who had waxed her hair on her head was also there.

"Avi and Van have already sent someone to tell me what happened, how did you get involved with the traitors?" Bradley had been living in the barracks, and he didn't choose to live in the palace after taking Walter back to Mallot, so what Avi and Van saw was a prince in military uniform.

Avi then confessed to Prince Bradley, and he showed the thin piece of iron to the other party. Avi also briefly recounted what had happened to the abandoned bell tower as Prince Bradley scrutinized the thin piece of iron, and he did not say what he had overheard, except that he and Van had just gone there and were caught by Prince Walter's men.

"I see," Bradley pulled out two other pieces of thin iron from the drawer, three of which were exactly the same style, but the things engraved on them were different, "You and Fan are both the ones who fell into the trap, and it was my brother Walter who set this trap, and it seems that he really wanted to pass the test given by the ghost of the Academy..."

Avi and Fan each picked up a piece, and both thin pieces of iron were engraved with time and place, while different things were engraved on the back of them - the one in Avi's hand was engraved with "Archbishop", and the piece with Big Nose Fan was engraved with "Righteous Army".

Ah Wei and Fan glanced at each other, and they somewhat understood what the eldest prince meant. Bradley then explained that Walter began a covert operation as soon as he learned of his "test". Walter had these thin iron pieces cast and then sent someone to "deliver" them to some suspicious subjects, and if these people who were suspicious of Walter really cared about the information on the thin iron sheets, they would definitely appear in the place where the thin iron was momentary.

"It's like fishing, carving the 'bait' that is attractive to the suspect on a thin piece of iron, and if the suspect Walter suspects is unmoved, he may be temporarily considered innocent, and if there is a ghost in his heart, the person who goes to the designated place will be regarded by my brother as suspected of treason, after all, the message he has engraved is from outside the kingdom of Salins. ”

"In other words, the third prince thinks that Fan and I have something to do with that elusive academy ghost, and he also thinks that the academy ghost is suspected of treason!"

Bradley nodded and shook his head, "It's impossible for my brother to catch the real traitor with this method, because people who commit treason will not be fooled, there must be other ways to contact each other, maybe Walter's trap is just the first step, if this method goes well, he will touch the vines, maybe he can really find the traitor hiding in the Kingdom of Salins." ”

The eldest prince's analysis was very detailed, and Fan couldn't help but say after listening to it: "But Avi and I are really not traitors, and we have nothing to do with the ghost of the academy!"

"I know that very well, I believe Avi," Bradley looked at Avi intently, and he paused for a few seconds before continuing, "I also believe Van that you are Lord Stitch's bodyguard, and there are so many things that have happened to you before, so my brother will suspect you." ”

Avi was full of gratitude, he never thought that he would gain the trust and understanding of a prince in his life, if the person who tried his case in Golden Hoof City was Prince Bradley, then he would definitely get a fair result, and he would not have gone away.

"Gadia, you enter the palace at once and tell your father what happened," Bradley turned his head to look at his subordinates, who had been silent, "if my brother really has permission to arrest him, then explain the details to my father on my behalf, and apply to revoke that permission, and if he hasn't obtained it, then you can communicate with Walter." ”

"Yes. ”

Bradley's actions were tantamount to saving Avi and Fan, and Avi didn't dare to say what he overheard, because he was afraid that he would be affected by Fan, who was protected by the eldest prince, and that he would be framed again.

That night, Prince Bradley sent soldiers to escort Avi and Van back to Stitch's residence, and the eldest prince said that he would clear Avi and Van as he had done in the White Orphanage. By the time Avi and Fan returned to Stitch's house, Stitch was already asleep, and Sango, who didn't know anything about it, had made some late-night snacks for Avi and Van to eat, and she kindly reminded Avi and Van once again to try not to come home too late.

"Why do you say the eldest prince trusts us unconditionally?" Fan sat on the bed, holding his cheeks with his hands, as if he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Avi wanted to say that it was because of the wisdom and integrity of the eldest prince, but he knew that such words were not convincing at all, "Maybe it is because the eldest prince trusts us..."

"Yes, I had such suspicions during the White Orphanage incident, it seems that the eldest prince is fair and upright, but people are selfish, if he is not profitable, he will definitely not help you, right? You think about it, you are just an ordinary noble guard, but also a noble guard of another country, a stranger who has given up his national identity, why?" said Fan, holding his cheeks around his neck.

Avi trusted Prince Bradley, but he himself didn't know why the eldest prince would help him unconditionally in this incident. It stands to reason that he does have some suspicions, but is it true that Prince Bradley and Prince Walter are not as harmonious as they seem?

Avi shook his head, he didn't believe that Prince Bradley was as inconsistent as Prince Walter, for Avi, Prince Bradley was the best person he had ever met, and he was more suitable than anyone else to be the prince of the Kingdom of Salins. If he really had to give himself an explanation, Avi would rather believe that Prince Bradley was the one who really appreciated and understood him.

The next day was a day off for the house, and Fenrir arrived at Stitch's residence early to bring Prince Bradley's words.

"During this time, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, I suggest that you stay here longer, especially Avi, you should try not to go to other places in the city except for classes, because the third prince has obtained permission to arrest you and has his eyes on you. ”

"Then we'll be arrested if we stay here?!"

"But at the request of the eldest prince, the arrest permit signed by the king has been withdrawn, but the Count of Feremont has threatened to arrest you for interrogation, and His Royal Highness and I believe that this is the intention of the third prince, and even if Feremon really takes you for interrogation, the third prince will not receive any punishment. Fenrir sighed softly as he said this, and he glanced in the direction of the street, then looked up at the sky.

"Understood, General Fenrir!"

"Don't call me a general, I'm just a follower of the eldest prince, since His Royal Highness the eldest prince regards you as friends, then I also hope that you will not be framed, this matter still needs you to follow the rules a little, don't have anything to do with the ghosts of the academy or traitors, it is good for everyone to be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

The big-nosed fan pinned his mouth with his hand, stretched out his neck and said, "Is it because this is an extraordinary time?"

Fenrir quickly touched Fan's head, and when Fan wanted to get rid of the other party's teasing, Fenrir had already withdrawn his hand, "You are still imps who don't know anything about the world, don't think nonsense, and be a student, a guard, and a mud puppeteer!"

After Fenrir left, the big-nosed fan complained: "That guy is not much older than us, he always looks like an elder elder, really..."

"Fenrir is also like Prince Bradley, in fact, they are warm-hearted people!" Avi said when Fenrir left that he would obey his orders and keep to himself, "If they want to believe us, then we should also believe in them, they are benefactors who have helped us many times!"

"Okay, then let's lock the window tightly, or the third prince will arrest us! Recently, the 'cat nest' can't go, after listening to the analysis of the eldest prince last night, the 'cat nest' may also be regarded by Prince Walter as a place to harbor suspects, no wonder the 'cat nest' will reduce the number of meetings, it turns out that it is avoiding trouble..."

For the next two days, Prince Walter's attempt to arrest Avi and Fan seemed to come to an end, and there were no further troubles in their lives. Avi didn't see Prince Walter during class on Monday, and heard that Prince Walter had already started preparing for his coming-of-age ceremony and would not be returning to the Kestrel Academy.

And when Avi wanted to tentatively ask Celenos about the ruined bell tower, Celenos yawned heavily and pretended to be asleep.

"I've heard that the ghosts of the academy aren't just people, they're a mysterious organization of people!" Avi whispered in Celenoth's ear.

“...”

"Senior Silanenos, you've been at the Kestrel Academy for so long, have you ever had any suspicions about anyone?" Seeing that the other party didn't react, Avi continued to ask.

"You're noisy," Celenos retracted his head into a "pillow ring" made up of two arms, "I suspect you're the ghost of the Academy, are you satisfied with the answer!"

Just when Avi had nothing to do, the head of the house, Dugol, appeared at the door of the classroom, and after looking in Avi's direction for a few times, he shouted, "Avi! Silanos, you two come out for me immediately!"
