Chapter 32: Rumors
In early spring, the snow melts, and there is a hint of chill in the air.
The next morning, Kevin woke up to find the sky outside the window overcast, and dark clouds squeezing the sky, as if it might rain at any moment.
"It's really uncomfortable in this kind of weather. ”
After breakfast, he got into the carriage and headed for Wellington.
In the carriage, Kevin played with the crystal pillar in his hand and fell into deep thought: "I must convince Brandon to hand over the spell model to me today, I can't delay it any longer." Otherwise, he has the spiritual power of a third-class apprentice, but he can't even use a spell. ”
After half a year of meditation, his spiritual power was already able to flash two and a half black inscriptions, but because he deliberately concealed part of it before, he could only claim to Brandon that his spiritual power was close to two inscriptions.
Brandon declined Kevin's request out of his own experience. He also warned Kevin not to rush for quick success, and it was best to wait until he had two and a half blocks of mental power before constructing a spell model.
While Brandon's intentions are good, he doesn't know what Kevin actually is.
"Sir, here we are. ”
The carriage gradually stopped, and after giving the groom ten copper coins, Kevin entered the campus.
Walking down the street, he noticed that there was something strange about the atmosphere on campus, as depressing as the gloomy weather.
The faces of the students passing by were not as relaxed as before, but instead solemn, and from time to time a few students could be seen bowing their heads and whispering.
Kevin approached the students who were talking to each other, and with his hearing, he could hear their conversation clearly.
"Hey, you know what? Lord Angus's army is in civil unrest, and the city of Limogan may be lost!" a brown-haired student whispered.
"Shhhh I'll tell you a little gossip, don't tell anyone else. Another student lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Actually, the city of Limogen has fallen, but the information has been suppressed by the royal family, and I don't want to cause panic." ”
"Ahh ”
The more the two of them talked, the more outrageous it became, and if they were heard by someone who didn't know, they would think that the Kingdom of Turin was already in a state of turmoil.
"Enough!"
Kevin interrupted the conversation with a little anger, "Can't you even tell what a rumor is?"
The two looked up and were startled when they saw the badge on Kevin's chest, and walked away reluctantly.
"How many followers did the Ottoman Empire prepare?"
Kevin quickened his pace, a haze filled his mind, and the situation was even more dire than he had imagined.
As the heir to the family, he only got the news yesterday, and today there are a lot of rumors spreading, and there must be a black hand inciting people's uneasy emotions.
A little more than an hour later, Kevin finished his language class and went straight to the principal's office.
Pushing open the door, there were a few men dressed as guards reporting something to Brandon.
Brandon waved his hand and ordered, "Alright, go down." Remember to increase the frequency of patrols and catch those who spread rumors in the academy. ”
The guards answered and closed the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend classes today, but I'm going to come forward to refute the rumors and calm the students' emotions. Brandon didn't look up, looking at a few letters on the table.
There are some numbers on the back of the letter, presumably also an analytical report on the front.
"How can rumors rise overnight? Kevin frowned slightly.
Wellington may have fewer than 1,000 students, but it can be difficult to spread the rumors across the campus.
Brandon put down the letter and said worriedly: "Some of the students are secretly contributing to the rumors, not only the University of Wellington, but also the city of Nigal. ”
Kevin was silent, his lips tightly closed, and he looked like he wanted to say something.
"You don't want to go to Limogan City to help your father, do you?" Brandon cast his eyes on Kevin and said, "You won't be able to do anything at all, and you will even become a burden." ”
He was afraid that Kevin's brain would be hot, and he would go to the front line to save his father.
"Of course not. Kevin shook his head and said sincerely, "Mentor, the current situation is turbulent, I want to familiarize myself with the spell model first, so that when my spiritual power reaches the standard, I can quickly master a spell." ”
"Nonsense!"
Brandon slapped the table and said dissatisfiedly: "I just forcibly broke through because of arrogance and complacency, lack of mental strength, and hurt Zhihai." You are about to break through the third-class apprenticeship in half a year, as long as you cultivate with peace of mind with this qualification, I will definitely teach you the spell model in the future. ”
Seeing Brandon's resolute attitude, Kevin sighed in his heart and walked out helplessly.
.......
When he returned from school, he saw the skinny monkey standing in the courtyard.
"Master Kevin. The thin monkey took the initiative to meet him.
"Yes. Kai replied, beckoning the thin monkey to walk into the house, "How's the investigation going?"
Entering the house, the thin monkey replied, "According to my investigation, Greta's application for completion is only the bow technique that has not been passed, and she may leave the academy at any time." ”
"Do you know where she's going?" Kevin's heart fluttered, and he asked.
As soon as the situation changed, he had expected that Greta would make a move, and that he would not be able to stay in Wellington forever.
"I don't know, she hasn't been in contact with anyone other than her mentor lately. The thin monkey poured a cup of tea and handed it over.
In the long-term contact, he also learned Kevin's living habits and likes to drink tea.
Kevin muttered for a moment, "When was the last time she went to the abandoned cabin?"
"Yesterday. ”
In this way, the two asked and answered, and the thin monkey left the house after reporting a lot about Gretta.
Fearing that he would be alarmed, Kevin never let the three of them go into the abandoned hut to investigate, so he didn't know what Greta was doing in the abandoned hut.
But in the current situation, Greta can no longer be left alone, and action must be taken.
Kevin drank his tea and walked to the basement of the house.
The basement is blocked by a wide iron door with a large metal lock on the deadbolt. He pulled out the key and opened the iron door.
"Bang bang. ”
The iron door rubbed against the ground and was slowly pushed open.
I saw that the basement was made of iron sheets on all sides, and it had been turned into a sealed prison, and there were all kinds of strange torture instruments hanging on the shelves on the left, which was where he was going to imprison Gretta.
Kevin went straight to the corner, opened a wooden box, and took out a white vial and a delicate short crossbow from it, and changed into a leather armor and a black bodysuit. He had to be very cautious because of the involvement of the Black Mist Possessor.
When everything was ready, he sat cross-legged and waited quietly for the night to fall.
