Chapter 37: Redbridge University
Sig walked out of the headquarters building with a depressed face, and found a shiny black carriage parked outside at some point.
The carriage depicts a broken sword and the thorn flowers that surround it, the coat of arms of the Wilden family.
A handsome man with a tall hat walked up to Sigurd, looked at him, and then stretched out his white-gloved hand and said elegantly and gentlemanly, "My name is Sissel Fanna, and I am also Miss Fanny's guardian knight. ”
Hearing this, Sig simply shook hands with the other party.
"Miss has something to look for you. Sissel didn't talk nonsense, made a gesture of please, and let Sig get into the carriage.
Sieg's eyes flickered a few times, and finally he got into the carriage with him.
"I've just received a task on the front foot, and this Fanny has come to me on the back foot, which must be a bit boring, and I may be able to get some useful information from the past. Sieg quietly followed Sissel into the carriage.
The sorcerer, Sissel, also seemed to be a high-level apprentice, more of a knight than Sigurd, with an elegant and cultured demeanor, and at first glance from a famous family.
Sissel looked at Sigurt with his spare eyes, and he didn't understand why the young lady wanted to find this person to be her guardian knight, after all, with the prestige of the Wilden family, there was no shortage of high-level apprentices, and she could find those magicians from famous families, and at the same time she could win over the rest of the warlock families in the kingdom.
Sissel himself is from a family of sorcerers in the western part of the kingdom, and his bloodline is the one-horned ice horse, which is a first-class creature with great strength.
Sieg seemed to notice the other man's eyes and grinned to give him a kind smile.
The two of them were silent all the way, and the carriage jolted for a long time, until they finally came to the outside of a jewelry store, which was a small stronghold hidden by the Wilden family in the royal capital.
Sissel got out of the car with Seeger, into the store, and then into the backstage, into an enclosed reception room.
A slender figure had been waiting inside for a long time, and the black tea on the table had long since lost its heat.
"The man has arrived. Sissel led Sieg through the door, and his eyes were full of fire as Fanny looked, and even a fool could tell that he had something on mind for the girl.
"Hmm. Fanny nodded faintly, then waved her hand.
Sissel understood what he meant, glanced at Sieg for the moment, and then quietly went out and closed the door.
"Sit. Fanny pointed to the chair and said to Sig.
Sigurt looked at the woman. For some reason, she seemed to be in a bad mood today, and her face was gloomy.
"Miss Fanny is looking for me?" asked Sigurt tentatively.
Fanny didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "Your new mission has been received?"
Sieg nodded.
"Good. Fanny stared at Sieg and said, "Did you know that someone from above assigned you this task?"
"Is that Leah?" asked Sigger.
"Yes, it's that slut. Fanny seemed a little angry.
Sieg was slightly moved, he didn't expect Fanny to be so angry with him, and he was upset with himself. However, Fanny's next sentence dispelled his wishful thinking.
"At the previous meeting of the House Senate, someone belonging to Leah's faction pressured us to send my mentor to the overseas colonies to deal with some unresolved matters there. Fanny thought back to today's meeting and couldn't help but be a little angry: "They are trying to push my mentor to death. Those things in the New World, when many kingdoms on the east coast were involved, I don't know how many people died and they didn't settle it, which is far from being solved by a first-level magician. ”
"Fortunately, during the voting process, most of the elders were on our side. But although there was no need to go overseas, the people on Leah's side took the opportunity to let the tutor go to Hongqiao University to investigate the revolutionary party. ”
"Behind the revolutionary party there are many different forces, which cannot be completely eradicated for decades. It's a quagmire, and the radicals in it are crazy and hard to mess with. The mentor didn't want to go, but the overseas colonies had already shirked it once, and this time he couldn't shirk it again. ”
"Therefore, our side proposes to postpone for a while, let some zero-level magicians enter Hongqiao University to fight outposts first, investigate the cause of the recent surge in mystics in Hongqiao University, and at the same time secretly arrest the revolutionary party and collect intelligence. ”
Fanny explained the reasons in detail, including the result of this morning's vote at the Wildon family elders meeting, which was to let Sieg go to Redbridge University to play as a striker first, and then let Fanny's mentor go after some progress.
Sige's face changed suddenly, and he scolded in his heart: "I thought it was me from Leah's pit, but I didn't expect it to be you!"
Even Fanny's mentor, a first-class magician, was not allowed to provoke the radicals of the Revolutionary Party, they actually wanted to be the first to rush forward and be a cannon fodder test stone!
Fanny seemed to notice the change in Sig's face, and frowned slightly, "What, you don't want to?"
"Yes, of course I do, I'm just thinking that Naria is so hateful, she actually persecuted Miss so much, and I was a little angry in my heart. Of course, Sieg will not say what he thinks in his heart, and he cleverly circles the past in the moment.
Sure enough, in the eyes of the Wilden family, their group of magicians with foreign surnames were their slaves. A thought suddenly crossed Sig's mind.
The path of a sorcerer, in the final analysis, is still on your own!
"Besides, I called you over this time, in fact, I have something for you to do. Fanny suddenly took out a copy of the drawing from her storage bag and handed it to Sieg, "You help me find this person and tell me anything about him." ”
Seeger's portrait of a middle-aged man, dressed as an aristocratic man, with meticulously groomed brown hair, is very handsome, and wears several gold medals on his chest.
"Who is this man?" Sieg wondered.
The Wilden family is powerful in the royal capital, and they still need to let themselves find someone?
"This picture is from many years ago, and his appearance has probably changed a lot, but you just need to know that his name is McLaren. ”
"He was my elder at Redbridge University, a professor in the philosophy department there, and a mortal lover of the occult. A long time ago, my grandmother used to fall in love with him, but because the other party was a mortal, the family could not tolerate the outflow of blood, so they forcibly broke them apart, and later my grandmother also died of depression. Fanny stroked her hair lightly, as if remembering something, and her face was a little strange.
"What a sad story. Sieg said lightly, and he could understand with his practical toes that the sorcerer family could not tolerate their own family members marrying mortals, and they called this bloodline pollution.
"He was very good to me when I was a child, but many years have passed, and I don't know how he is doing. Fanny didn't seem to want to say more, so she changed the subject and said, "Don't bother him when you find him, just tell me about some of his recent situation." ”
Sigmune nodded, but he always felt a little strange in his heart.
"He's also a very knowledgeable person, and if you don't understand anything, you can go to him. Fanny said the man, her eyes flashing with adoration.
"Understood. "Now, no matter how reluctant Sieg is, he has to go there.
......
Hongqiao University, built more than 500 years ago, got its name from the huge red steel bridge in front of the school. The school is close to the Taewu River, and has trained countless young men for the kingdom over the centuries.
Today, it is the number one comprehensive university in the Kingdom of Blackcastle, with more than 50,000 students, dozens of departments, and hundreds of majors.
Unlike other schools, Hongqiao University is unique in that it admits nobles and commoners equally, so it is not from the fate of becoming an aristocratic school.
There are many civilian students here, and the academic openness is brewing wave after wave of new ideas. For example, the recent resurgence of republican ideas has already begun to circulate quietly in Hongqiao University and has been supported by many students.
This, coupled with the fact that the current rector is an extremely strong man who staunchly defends academic freedom and refuses to allow the Kingdom Secret Police to enter the academy, is also responsible for the proliferation of revolutionary ideas among young students.
Sig walked on the path of the academy, looked at the information of the university, and secretly said in his heart: "This headmaster can actually withstand the pressure from the upper echelons of the kingdom, I'm afraid it won't be an ordinary person." But...... I guess that's the end of it. ”
Sig knew in his heart that the elders of the Wilden family would not allow the revolutionaries to appear in the royal capital in the open, which was a direct violation of their interests and authority.
Now that they have allowed themselves to settle in the university, it is estimated that it is the first step to rectify Hongqiao University, and it is estimated that there will be a storm of means to follow.
Thinking of this, Sieg felt more and more as if he was caught up in some terrible vortex.
"Mr. Ensign, your residence is over here. "Along with Sieg was a chubby old man, one of the five vice presidents of Hongqiao University.
