In fact, one of the things that made Rob feel the most awkward during the entire investigation was time.

From Hobson to Foreman, and then to the reappearance of the other party not long ago, the interval between this is as long as sixty-eight years, considering that the secret guardian cannot leave Siamers, so the scope is narrowed to a very small extent, and there are only a handful of people who have been staying in the school for sixty-eight years, but the future Super Magister knows very well that it is impossible to leave such an obvious flaw with the cunning of the other party.

And it was true, the suspicion of the old people in the school was quickly eliminated, so Rob finally turned his attention to another group of very special people.

Students - they are the most mobile part of Siamus, if they are mixed up in the school as a student, they can return to Siamus every time they graduate, and in this way, he can live here forever like an invisible person without leaving any mark.

But this still can't explain the problem of time, although the school does not have a strict age limit for recruitment, the people who come to report are generally young people, few are more than 20 years old, and those over 30 years old are even rarer, although a person can always go to school by constantly changing his identity, but when he is older, if he enters Siamers as a student, it will be a little too eye-catching.

Rob, on the other hand, doesn't think that secret guardians change very often, as this can easily lead to loyalty problems, and it will also cause several guardians to be alive at the same time, which seems to increase the number of people, but actually increases the risk of leaks.

And what really made Rob suspicious was the black squirrel, a golem with wisdom, whose appearance meant that a magician had touched the forbidden area, and the future super-magus was vaguely aware of something.

Later, Rob heard the word devil from Isabel's mouth, and the sorceress from the Inquisition apparently mistook him for someone else when she first saw him, and the horror in her eyes did not seem to be disguised, so Rob later went to the church of St. Ansey to look for clues related to the devil, and told him another story before leaving.

Eight hundred years ago, a monster appeared in the area of Guderis, which could disguise itself as a human and live among humans, and on weekdays it was the same as everyone else, until after nightfall, and it specialized in hooking up with young single women in dim and secluded alleys, tricking them back to their homes, having fun with them, and then killing them before dawn, gouging out their hearts for the next day's dinner, and the inhabitants of Guderies City gave it the name of the Mind Eater.

The Night Armed also paid attention to this monster called the Mind Eater, but after investigation, it was found that this was just a folk horror legend that had been made up, and there had been no mass disappearance of young women in the past ten years, and none of the young women killed had their hearts gouged out, so the Night Armed did not continue to investigate, but the people who investigated the matter according to the rules still recorded the results of the investigation.

Because it was strictly a rumor, when Rob first asked Father Wild, the priest didn't remember that something like that happened several times a year, many of them were monsters made up by adults to scare their children into coming home before dinner.

Folklore like this is not usually made out of thin air, they often have an original version, based on which a lot of exaggerated processing and word of mouth have been used to form the final appearance, and in the story told by Father Wild, Rob is interested in two things, the first is why the Mind Eater kills young women, and the second is why the other party gouges out their hearts.

The first point is easier to guess, which reflects the fact that the protagonist in the original version is a man, and it is likely to be a young man, and the second point is more interesting, the heart has many meanings, in many religions the heart has been considered the source of life, and some cults even believe that eating someone else's heart can prolong their own life.

Combined with the situation on the little golem, Rob realized that the opponent they had encountered this time was likely to be a guy who had gained immortality by some means.

And he finally remembered the story that Donasius had told because of Isabel's horrified expression at the time, the sorceress came from the Inquisition, as a dark institution hidden in the shadows of the temple, it stands to reason that she should have seen too much blood and darkness, and ordinary monsters could hardly make her so frightened.

- unless she realizes that the person she's dealing with this time is the progenitor of the magician.

However, Merlin is not easy to investigate, and no one even remembers the name, he is like a ghost hidden in history, leaving almost no trace except for this school with changing names, but he appears from time to time in some folklore, Rob collected all the ancient legends related to Gudris in the Raphael Library, trying to piece together more clues from them.

However, this is not an easy task, there are too many folklore in the city of Gudris in the past 900 years, and it is even more difficult to distinguish those legends from each other, in addition to finding the connection between these legends and stripping out the valuable parts, even for Rob this is a big project.

Therefore, it was not until the beginning of the freshman competition that the future Transcend Magister completed this work, and then Xavier received further confirmation.

"Wait, you say he's from Roland's time, but how can humans have such a long life?" Luo Luo looked incredulous, even the dragon only had a lifespan of seven hundred and fifty years, not to mention that the guy in front of him had no signs of old age at all, his bare hands were slender and elegant, and they were definitely not the hands of an old man in his nine hundreds.

"Why not? The so-called gods are nothing more than human beings with eternal life. Merlin pursed his lips disapprovingly, saying that this guy could say such arrogant things as a testament to why he had been at the top of the wanted list of the Inquisition.

Merlin then glanced at the boy next to the girl, it was not the first time he had noticed this guy named Rob, from the moment he walked in, Merlin had most of his attention on him, and he actually smelled a familiar smell from this guy, but for a while he couldn't remember where this familiar feeling came from.
