Chapter 204: The Origin of the Brotherhood
The competition came on the third day, but for Su Wen, his attention was not on the competition items of the sports meeting.
First of all, a certain water event in the morning broke out an upset, and the favorite to win the championship did not even get the top three places, but was won by a few little-known freshmen, which made some spectators in the stands a little excited. It's hard not to associate them with the Doroufen Brotherhood's gamble.
Then there was the football match, where a certain veteran team washed a freshman team of Calamus with a big score, and there were spectators who had nothing to do with this team who were even more depressed than the students in that class of Calamus Academy. Probably because of the loss of the bet, right?
Andy finally finished second in a small race, and judging by his expression, it seemed that he had earned back the loss of the last hill switchback run. The rest of the general department also achieved different rankings.
Kelsey had taken first place in a magic-related event, and although Marina didn't do anything better, there was no pressure to have the first place to hang in the switchback run.
Shirley didn't participate in other competitions, but took care of Roland, who couldn't get out of bed yet, and helped him deliver food and food.
What is strange is that Barot actually gave up the next competition and did not see anyone for a day.
The other one who couldn't be seen was Ellie.
According to Heidi, Ellie stayed up late last night reading the storybook and saw it late, and today when she went out, Ellie was still sleeping. By the time Heidi returned to the dormitory, Ellie was still sleeping. I probably want to take this opportunity to replenish my sleep.
Su Wen, who didn't have a referee job, just walked around the academy, and then went to the library to find out if there were any clues about the brotherhood, but obviously, he didn't find it.
Although there are many suspected incidents related to the Doruffin Brotherhood in some archives of some years, the records are all vague, and at a glance it is clear that they are the spring and autumn brushwork after retouching.
The real history has long been forgotten in the memories of the people at that time, and there may be some inconspicuous place where these events are recorded, but Su Wen obviously did not find it.
Time flickered to night, and after Su Wen changed into an inconspicuous outfit, he came to Josephine's bar again.
It seems that with Josephine's explanation, the maid led him directly to the second floor after seeing Su Wen.
Josephine wore her long hair in a bun, a pair of round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a lot of old-looking materials on the coffee table in the reception room.
Sure enough, it was in stock.
Although it maintains a neutral attitude of non-interference in human affairs, there are two types of neutrality.
One is the hermit neutrality that does not ask about the world, and the other is the neutrality of insight.
Obviously, Josephine's family is the second neutral.
Only by having insight into the accident can we stand firm in the ups and downs of hundreds of years, and can we maintain our "neutrality" in human society, in the academy town at the foot of this imperial college.
Neither of them mentioned what happened last night, but went straight to the point.
Josephine pushed a stack of sorted out materials to Su Wen, and said: "The information is a little old, but the authenticity is guaranteed, these are the materials I have sorted out in the past fifty years......"
Judging from the handwriting, this dense stack of materials is all new. It is likely that Josephine transcribed it improvisedly today.
"What is the origin of this organization?" Su Wen took the information, flipped through a few pages, and then asked.
"The Doruffin Brotherhood, which existed almost when this academy was founded, can be said to have a long history, as long as the Imperial Academy, and this Maleno Empire. ”
Dorufen, on the other hand, was a dropout of Imperial College at the time. ”
"Because of a murder that happened in the academy. The deceased was Doruffin's favorite, and the murderer was a teacher at the Imperial Academy. ”
While everyone thought it was an accident, only Doruffin decided it was a murder, and after his own investigation, Doruffin found the killer and killed him. ”
Doruffin was almost sentenced to death because of insufficient evidence, but fortunately, the evidence was later supplemented to save Doruffin from a heavy sentence, but because of the lynching and poor behavior during the detention of the suspect he was identified, he was eventually withdrawn from Imperial College. ”
At the beginning of the establishment of the Imperial Academy, reputation was extremely important, not to mention, the existence of the Imperial Academy was like the face of the Malenor Empire, and there was no room for a little scum.
So events like this, which can almost be called scandals, are naturally suppressed, so even in the academy library, there is no record of such things.
Even the current senior management of the academy may not all know these things.
Although the matter is unknown, the tradition of covering up the incident in this way has continued to this day. And Su Wen has experienced it personally, and is even the initiator of an incident.
"And ...... this brotherhood?"
Doruffin's withdrawal was a foregone conclusion, and even a few powerful students with whom Doruffin had a good relationship with him could not prevent it from happening, so after Doruffin dropped out, these students banded together and formed an organization that was bound to prevent the recurrence of such incidents, and it was named after Doruffin in honor of Doruffin. ”
"So it's the organization it is now?"
"After all, after such a long time, the original intention of this organization has long since changed and has become the organization you understand. ”
Although it is still the same organization, the nature of the Doruffin Brotherhood has long since changed due to the renewal of members and the change of environment, and now this organization is just a bad organization with an empty shell of the Doruffin Brotherhood.
Su Wen nodded, indicating understanding.
"Because the main scope of activities of this organization is in the academy, the information I have is also limited, and it is all traces left by their activities in the town, which should be helpful to you. ”
Su Wen flipped through it, this information included their major events in the past fifty years, as well as the two strongholds in the town, including the personnel changes in the past three years, which can be said to be quite useful.
With this piece of information, with Su Wen's ability, it is almost easy to find out this organization.
"Thank you. Su Wen collected the information and had the meaning of saying goodbye.
Josephine took off her glasses and stared at Su Wen, as if she had thought about it for a long time, and finally opened her mouth.
"You...... It's Mr. Su Wen, right?"
