Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Mystery of Wood's Origins
"I'm sorry that your words don't convince us that we're going to see Wood, so please let him come and see us at once. Davide said very strongly, they don't want to hear from anyone, they came here today for Wood.
"Why, is it so difficult for us to meet a student, or are you worried about something?" Dean saw that everyone didn't speak, and even Brooke ignored them, and asked unceremoniously, the two of them have always disliked Brooke as a person, and now if it weren't for the fact that their children are still studying here, they would probably do even more rude things.
Principal Brooke glanced at Pi Bo, who was standing outside the door, and Pi Bo left without saying a word. It wasn't long before Wood was ushered into the council chamber by Pibo. In front of everyone's gaze, Wood felt that there was no place for him.
"Are you Wood?" Davide asked mockingly, seeing that Wood was a thin child, and the mockery on his face was even more obvious.
"Yes, sir. Wood looked up, forcing himself not to avoid anyone's gaze.
"Sir, don't you know who we are, we're ......," Dean corrected when she heard Wood call her husband sir.
"I know that you are Mesevo's parents, and you are also famous magicians in the wizarding world. But I don't know why you want to see me?" Wood said before Dean could finish speaking.
"Isn't it true that no one has taught you since you were a child, that children can't interject when adults are talking, and you dared to interrupt me just now. Dean was interrupted in the middle of her speech, which was the last thing she could accept. Especially when the other party is a child, and it is a child that he hates very much.
I have to say that Dean's words made Wood feel very angry, but seeing the professors present, Wood suppressed the anger in his heart. He just stood there, looking at each other without saying a word. Dean also seems to realize that he seems to be too inattentive to the image of a child.
"I'm sorry, I was too excited, but I'm also because of Mesevol, Wood, if you can bring Mesevol back safely, I promise, you'll receive citizenship in the wizarding world. Dean put away his previous domineering style and said in a softened tone.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I don't understand what you mean, how can I, a little first-year, do something that Headmaster Brooke can't do?" said Wood, unhurriedly.
"Do you know who your eyes look like?" Dean asked suddenly, and as soon as her words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Dean, this is the Bird Silent Academy, not the wizarding world, please be careful when you speak. Professor Mai Siqi said kindly, but his tone was very serious.
"Wood's ability to do magic proves that his parents belong to the wizarding world. You've lived there for a long time, and it's normal to see people who look like Wood. It's just that if you want to use this to provoke trouble, I will never allow it. Please also pay attention to the proportions of your speech. "Principal Brooke has never said such a heavy thing in front of a student, and it seems that this time he was really upset by the other party.
"You've seen my parents?" Wood saw the look on everyone's faces a little stunned as Dean spoke. Thinking that his parents might be the people they knew, he forgot about his current situation for a while, and asked excitedly.
"It's possible that I know your mother, though I'm still not sure. But your eyes really look too similar, but unfortunately, your mother's reputation in the wizarding world is not very good. If you want to enter the wizarding world to live and go to school, it is probably not too easy. But I can promise you that if you can bring Mesevo back to us, we will be able to guarantee that you will not be ostracized and bullied in the wizarding world. Dean induced that the more she looked at it, the more she felt that Wood's eyes were very similar to Lilia's back then, as if they were carved out of a mold.
"You mean you know my mother, who is she?" Wood heard Dean say he knew his mother, the first time in so many years that he had heard about his mother in other people's mouths. Wood felt like one of his hearts was going to jump out of his throat.
"Dean, do you really want to do this? Playing right and wrong is punishable in the wizarding world. Headmaster Brooke was furious, he didn't expect Dean to do such a thing.
"I'm sorry, Brooke, I think what I said is true, don't you think so? Since he wants to know so much who his mother is, why don't you just tell him. Dean said grumblingly.
"Can you tell me who my mother is?" Wood swallowed hard, feeling like he had never been so nervous. Thinking that Headmaster Brooke may have known everything from the beginning, but he didn't tell himself that Wood was mentally prepared, since he was able to abandon himself in the first place, he would not have a good reputation in the wizarding world, and he must not be a person to be admired and respected. But Wood didn't talk about it, he just wanted to know who his mother really was.
"I don't know if you've heard anything about Lilia, but I think it's very likely that your mother is Lilia, and I'm very unfortunate for that. But Lilia is Lilia, you are you, and we will not transfer our resentment against Lilia to you. After all, you were a little baby and didn't know anything. Dean said with a smile, and she was very satisfied to see the surprise written on Wood's face.
"You mean, my mother is Lilia, are you sure?" When Wood heard the name Lilia from Dean's mouth, for some reason, his restless heart suddenly became quiet, as if there was a force in the dark that made him more resolute and steady.
"Wood, this is just a guess, after all, Lilia has been missing for ten years, and no one has seen her in that time. Brooke explained that today's events were caught off guard, but Brooke couldn't stop it.
"Did you know that Lilia already had a baby?" asked Wood, who thought Brooke must have something to hide.
"We didn't know she had a baby at the time, and as Dean said just now, she was only suspicious, not sure, so don't take it too seriously. Brooke said palely.
