Chapter 184: Fagan's Discovery
"I don't know why those pirates are arresting me. Ursula shook her head, but then she hesitated and added, "But, it may have something to do with Mr. Fagan." β
"Fagan?" Rob raised an eyebrow, "It's Fagan M. L.K. Freeman?"
"Eh, have you heard that name before?" asked Lolo.
"Well, Fagan is still quite famous in his small circle in that field, but his research direction is very strange, so ordinary people don't know much about him, but I remember that he worked at the Peter Royal Academy of Letters, when did he go south?"
"Do you know the teacher?" Ursula's eyes lit up, "The teacher did stay in the Lionheart Empire before, but he kept complaining that the Peter Royal Academy of Letters did not pay attention to his research, the funding was getting smaller and smaller, and every time the funding was not happy, and then he received an invitation from the Wallis Botanical Academy, so he came here with the results of his research." β
"That guy's research is indeed relatively unpopular, and there are not many people who pay attention to it, and there is a group of masters led by Tobias at the Peter Royal Academy of Letters, so naturally he will inevitably be snubbed, but that guy is really obsessed with his own research. β
"What the hell is he studying?" Lolo wondered.
Fagan's research focuses on a branch of archaeology β underground city ruins. β
"Dungeons, are they the ones we've been to before?"
"Yes, Fagan has been researching these dungeons, including their origins, dates, locations, and functions...... It can be said that he is the person who knows those dungeons best in this world, and in order to obtain first-hand information, he has paid people to take him into dungeons that have not yet been fully conquered, and even delved into some very dangerous places. β
"Eh, the dungeon's ...... "Basically, adventurers everywhere regard the dungeon as a place to level up and make a fortune, and Luo Luo really didn't know that there were people in this world who specialized in this kind of thing.
Ursula said, "I'm a disciple of Teacher Fagan, usually in charge of helping the teacher sort out notes, cleaning or something when I was in school, about a year ago, the teacher got a new research fund from the school, and hurried to the dungeon in Bantem Town, two months later, when he came back, he was obviously a little excited, and told me that he was about to be able to unlock the secrets of the dungeon, and soon he would become the most famous scholar in the entire Dawn Continent, surpassing Tobias, and it would be famous for eternity, and the teacher's original words at that time were- When that day came, I really wanted to see the faces of those guys at Peter's Royal Academy. β
After a month, he has been locking himself in his room except for class, sorting out the materials brought back from the research, but soon his spirit suddenly became abnormal, some students responded that he was in a trance during class, and became particularly irritable and irritable, I am his disciple, usually with him the most contact, and the feeling is also the most intuitive, once I went to bring him food, I saw him sitting alone in front of the table, looking frightened, and kept muttering in his mouth [How can this be, there is no way out, all have to die] , and when he saw me, he hurriedly put away the things spread out on the table, and he was very angry at that time and scolded me directly. β
It seemed that the two of them didn't understand Ursula and explained, "Teacher Fagan wasn't like this before, although he didn't like to communicate with others very much, but in fact, he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he cared about the people around him, knowing that my family conditions were not very good, and said that he would help me ask the school to reduce the tuition fee for half a year, but later I learned that it was Mr. Fagan who advanced the money to me, he may not be as famous as other university scholars, but he is a very good person, so when something terrible happened to him, we couldn't believe it." β
"Something terrible?"
"Yes, he took a long leave from the school after sorting out the materials he had brought back from the dungeon of Bentham, saying that he had something very important to go back to the north, but he broke his leg not long after leaving, when he rode through a rocky stream, but for some unknown reason the horses under him suddenly frightened and threw him down, and Mr. Fagan lay down for a few days in a dry river under the rocks, he could not move, and the place was rarely passed, so his cries for help were never heard, and his body was not found until the sixth day, and he was sent back to the school, where the headmaster presided over his funeralMany people can't believe that Mr. Fagan just left us. β
Luo Luo and Rob glanced at each other, "Your teacher's death is a bit strange, I'm afraid it's not an accident, he probably lost his life because of his previous research, but why did the other party still find you after killing the Fagan scholar?"
Ursula thought for a moment, "After the teacher's death, I helped him collect and send it to his family in the Lionheart Empire, but I didn't find anything special in it. β
"yes, what about the part of his research after he came back from that dungeon in Buntum?"
Ursula shook her head, "You may not believe it, but I didn't have a note in the teacher's relics about finding this part of the study. β
"That's the problem, I'm afraid the other party is here for this part of the research, they should have checked the relics you sent back to the Lionheart Empire, and they didn't find what they were looking for, so they now think that it is on you. β
Ursula's eyes widened, and she panicked, "But I really didn't take it, what should I do, can you help me save Uncle Barber, he is my last relative." β
"Don't worry, we'll help you with Barber's affairs, but what are you going to do after that?" His Excellency the future Super Magister asked, it is not difficult to save Babel, Captain Oden didn't really want to exile the former, he just wanted to use this means to understand the truth of the matter, and even the giant whale pirate group Rob didn't pay much attention to it, but he and Luo Luo still had important things to deal with when they returned to the north this time, and it was impossible to protect the girl all the time, her problem was that she was misunderstood and got something that should not be taken, and this misunderstanding was not eliminated for a day, and the group would not let her go for a day, and from her previous statement, the other party's power was obviously not small, not only across the north and south, but also even on the sea There are their peopleγ
If this continues, Ursula and Barber will be caught by each other sooner or later.
Ursula didn't seem to have thought about this question yet, and said blankly, "I...... I do not know. β
"Well, then, I'll write a letter, and you'll take it to a friend of mine, and he'll take you in and protect you, and stay with him until we help you out of your troubles." β
"Yes...... Is that okay?" Ursula was surprised and delighted, but then she worried, "But won't this cause trouble for your friends?"
"That guy has never been in trouble, and you don't have to worry about him, at least in the Lionheart Empire, no one dared to fight him until the fall of the Lehart dynasty. β
Hey, hey, hey, the dungeon is a very important setting that constitutes the worldview of this book, and I buried a lot of foreshadowing in the first part (not nonsense), according to the currently known information, you can guess the origin and function of the dungeon~
