Chapter VII: Resistance to Solving Cases
The sun is scorching, and the sun is so strong that people can't open their eyes.
And the hot weather also makes people's mood a little impatient.
Lei Zhe, the captain of the guards, was leaning against the shadow of the corner at this time. After he lit a cigarette, he couldn't help but curse again. Lei Zhe's current mood is really not an exaggeration to describe it as bad.
Bard was a newcomer to the guard, and he was obviously a little uncomfortable with the captain's irritability. So Bard had to turn to Ron, the relatively mild-mannered vice-captain, to find out why the captain was so grumpy.
Ron glanced up at the front and said with a smile, "Isn't it because we got a trip to this war college today to find out about yesterday's murder? As long as the guys who go to school here can successfully graduate, once they enter the battlefield, they will directly have the rank of sixth. And our captain has been working hard for nearly twenty years, and now he is only level five, so he is naturally unhappy with these mages here who can easily overpower him. But then again, mages are really an enviable existence......"
The place where they were standing now was the gate of the War College. That building, that layout, is really majestic, resplendent and splendid, and it is worthy of being the strongest mage academy in the entire continent.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry in and finish work! Lao Tzu doesn't have a good impression of this place. It's really disgusting to vomit here, even the air stinks!" Lei Zhe frowned, and then fiercely pinched the cigarette butt in his hand.
But within a few seconds, Lei Zhe immediately squeezed out a smiling face, and said to the doorman in a good voice: "We are from the guard team, there are some things to investigate, please report to the principal." ”
No way, this war college is a place of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, in addition to all kinds of mages, there are many noble children, and even members of the royal family come here to gild. In such a place, the identity of their guard team is obviously a little inadequate, so even if Lei Zhe is reluctant in his heart, he can only accompany the smiling face, even if he is only facing the doorman.
After the doorman came back from walking around the campus, he said to Lei Zhe slowly: "The principal is not in the academy today, but the vice principal is here, and he invites a few people in." ”
"Vice-principal, which vice-principal?" asked Lei Zhe.
"Vice Chancellor Eugene. ”
"Damn, why is he? It seems that he can only bite the bullet. Unexpectedly, after hearing Eugene's name, Lei Zhe immediately became a little crazy.
Bard looked at the vice-captain Ron with a puzzled expression, and Ron said helplessly: "Count it out, this Vice Principal Eugene and our captain are also old friends." They used to be neighbors and were about the same age, so they grew up together. Because they are all boys and young and vigorous, they competed with each other a lot back then. But helplessly, Na Eugene was a gift, and later he was admitted to the War College and became a professional mage. After that, Eugene made meritorious contributions on the battlefield, and was not promoted? He also became the vice president of the War College. From that time on, Eugene stomped our captain under his feet. I think that's probably the fundamental reason why the captain doesn't like mages......"
"I said, can you shut up and say a few words, don't open any pot and mention which pot? Hurry in, finish, leave!" Lei Zhe said angrily, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction. But there is no way, everything is focused on work, so Lei Zhe can only swallow his anger and go to meet the person he really doesn't want to see.
In the vice principal's room, Eugene was cross-legged, looking at Lei Zhe with a smug face. Seeing that the expression on Lei Zhe's face was not good, Eugene immediately showed an expression of underwhelming, and said: "Oh, this is not Lei Zhe, it's a good mix! He has already become the captain of the guard, and his future is really limitless! Tell me, what is the matter with me coming to me this time? I can state in advance, I, the vice principal, am very busy, and I will have to deal with official business later, so I don't have much time to accompany you to toss around." ”
"Don't be too arrogant, you kid, it's just a villain's ambition! Don't you remember what happened when I beat you up before?" Although Lei Zhe has been reminding himself not to be impulsive since the moment he entered the War College, but Eugene's expression was too flat, so in the end, Lei Zhe couldn't help but scold.
"Phew, when did I get beaten up by you?" Eugene's face turned red, obviously unwilling to recall the previous events: "What the hell do you want to do?"
With a "snap", Lei Zhe slapped a piece of white paper on Eugene's desk, and then said angrily: "There is a murder case in the area I manage, and the eyewitness has provided clues, saying that the students of your college are very seriously suspected, please cooperate with our investigation." ”
"What??" Eugene picked up the paper and looked at it with a suspicious face, and then laughed: "Just based on these clues? You dare to come to me to arrest people even if you can't even determine the object of suspicion? Do you still plan to arrest and interrogate thousands of our students one by one? I can warn you in advance that our students here are different from those in other places." A very inconspicuous guy who walks past you in school now may become the person in power who holds the lifeblood of this country in the future. Not to mention, there are many students here who are already nobles themselves. Now that the king is old, there is already an undercurrent surging in the city of the two moons, and the situation is different from what it used to be. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to offend the nobles at this moment, or to have a deep involvement with them, isn'......t it?
As Eugene spoke, the door to the office suddenly opened. A young man walked in, apparently a student at the War College.
After seeing the face of the person who came, the expression on Eugene's face immediately became respectful. Eugene put Lei Zhe and the others aside, then stood up and said with a smile on his face: "I have already completed the formalities for you, as long as you want, you can go to class today." If you still have any questions, just come to me. Eugene's attitude towards the visitor was in stark contrast to when he treated Lei Zhe just now.
What flattery!
Lei Zhe thought disdainfully. But he still couldn't help but turn his head, wanting to see what kind of sacredness could make Eugene stutter like this.
In any case, Eugene is the vice president of the famous War College, and he can be regarded as well-informed, if he is just an ordinary student, even if he is an aristocrat, Eugene should not be so attentive.
As a result, Lei Zhe found that the person who came was a girl who looked like she was in her early twenties. She is tall, with well-defined facial features, and her long black curly hair is neatly tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, which can be regarded as a rare beauty. But there was no expression on her face, and she didn't know whether to say it was calm or silent.
What's more special is that the dress on the girl's body is not the robe that mages are used to, but a set of close-fitting short armor, which is rare in the war academy for the purpose of training mages.
Of course, this is not to say that mages can't wear armor, after all, what they wear is personal freedom, so there are no mandatory rules in the War College when it comes to dressing. There are also many types of professional mages, ranging from field-controlled and cooperative ranged mages to team-based and charging melee mages.
Students who focus on melee mages are naturally not uncommon in the War College. Because melee mages are close to the enemy on the battlefield, most of them are also armor-piercing. It's just that the vast majority of melee mages are men, so women wearing armor can be described as rare in the War College.
After all, becoming a good melee mage is not an easy task. Not only does this require you to have abundant mana, but you also have to have excellent physical fitness. The daily training of melee mages is also more rigorous than that of ordinary mages. They often have to work in harsh conditions, and the training is very hard. Therefore, most of the squeamish girls still chose to become remote mages.
Not to mention the flowing and beautiful costumes of the ranged mages, the tasks on the battlefield are relatively easier and safer. So this makes the girl who appeared in front of Lei Zhe's eyes even more special.
In the face of Eugene's courtesy, the expression on the girl's face did not change, but she listened to Eugene's explanation very carefully. As for Lei Zhe's existence, the girl just glanced at them very casually.
After the matter was dealt with, the girl left directly, as if she had never taken Lei Zhe's existence to heart at all.
As a result, before the girl had gone far, Lei Zhe opened her mouth and mocked: "Look at you like that! Isn't she just a student? Which eldest lady is she, and she deserves your such diligent service? It seems that after all these years, you have also fallen into officialdom......
"You know what a fart!" Eugene rudely interrupted Lei Zhe's words, and defended with a red face: "Do you know who she is? She is the one of the Mitchell family, the invincible Ellis on the battlefield and known as the 'Goddess of War'! Although she is still a student, she is already a serious general, with an eleventh rank! Not to mention how much higher than your little captain, even I, the vice principal of the ninth rank, can be regarded as her subordinate! Do you dare to be disrespectful to her?"
What? She's the famous Ellis?
After hearing this name, Lei Zhe blinked his eyes, and suddenly became a little puzzled: Why does this Ellis look different from what he imagined?
Lei Zhe never thought that this legendary female god of war would look quite slender.
Speaking of which, the name of the goddess of war, Ellis, not to mention Twin Moon City, even in the entire Moon Country, is a well-known existence.
Not to mention that Ellis was born into a famous family, he is also extremely talented. At a young age, she killed countless enemies on the battlefield with an extremely fierce and fierce style, and she was invincible, leaving behind many heroic legends. So although Ellis is not very old, he is already a legendary figure.
Lei Zhe naturally knows these things. However, Lei Zhe still has a question: since this Ellis is already so powerful, why did she still come to the War College?
Eugene explains: "When Ellis went to the front two years ago, he was a student at the academy and didn't quite finish his studies. But the war ahead is critical, so she went through the formalities of taking a leave of absence, planning to continue going to school after she returns. Isn't this the battle on the front line now, but it's almost over! Ellis was transferred back to Two Moon City at this time. So she approached me and said she wanted to go back to the academy and finish the rest of her studies. Of course, I had to agree. No, she is here to go through the procedures for returning to school today. ”
Then, Eugene suddenly reacted, and immediately issued an eviction order: "By the way, why am I telling you this? What a waste of my saliva! Let's go, let's go! I can't help you with this case, you better think of another way by yourself!"
