Chapter 56: Impersonation
When Andy heard Brian's words, he also said, "Leo said that you have changed a lot, and it seems to be true." ”
Brian just smiled and didn't answer.
Because the 'you' in Leo's mouth and the 'you' in Andy's mouth are not the same person at all.
It didn't take long for Leo to come down from the upper floor.
"They're still sleeping, so I think we'll go back first. ”
"Prepare well for the selection competition, we old people are not fragile enough to be that far. Andy comforted Leo and watched the two leave.
The two of them walked all the way in the direction of Odin Academy.
"Brian, you're supposed to be in the tryouts, right?" asked Leo on the way.
"It should be said that participation is mandatory. Brian remembered the seal in his body.
"To get into the upper echelons of the Empire?" Leo looked at Brian in surprise.
"On a level, yes. Brian replied truthfully.
"Then you can actually accept your share of the credit. Leo hesitated for a moment and said.
Brian looked at his right hand, clenched his fist, and replied, "If it were me before, I would probably do it." ”
"Do you still insist that the credit belongs to you alone?" Leo shook his head, then said, "But I'm afraid even if you want to take the credit now, it's impossible." ”
"What do you mean?" asked Brian, turning his head.
Although he is not a close friend of Coyce and Lance, the two of them should not be that kind of people.
"Because of your merits, you have been impersonated. Leo said seriously, "It's the third-year captain you were with the Koyce trainees, Rex!"
"Is it him?!" Brian raised an eyebrow, if it was that person, it was indeed possible.
Because Brian observes that Rex is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to get the better of the end.
"It's just? Even if he wanted to impersonate, wouldn't the academy ask for it?" asked Brian.
"Because the cave we went to has collapsed. To make matters worse, none of the students we met after we got out of the cave had seen the magic runes inside the cave with their own eyes. And when the academy swept away the ruins, it didn't find the body of the black-robed mage, and even the remains of the puppet disappeared completely. Leo explained.
"Did Rex do it? No!" Brian subconsciously suspected Rex, but first of all, not to mention that the latter probably didn't know the location of the No. 6 switch, and even if he did, he shouldn't have so much time to destroy the corpse.
"Mean?!" Brian glared at Leo with wide eyes.
"That's right, it's very likely that someone from the Dark One Society did it. Leo nodded, but his doubts rose again: "It's just that I don't understand why they did this, it stands to reason that several deans have also killed several Silver Moon Mages, but none of their bodies have been taken away, why was the body of the black-robed mage destroyed?"
Brian fell silent.
Because only he knew that the black-robed mage was not an ordinary person, he was a Chosen One....... Wait a minute!
In this case, there are also people within the Dark Unification Association who know the identity of that black-robed mage?!
Brian instantly felt a cold sweat break out.
Because once he takes this credit, it is tantamount to admitting in disguise that he killed the Chosen One, then it is very likely that the people of the Dark Unification Society will lock their attention on him. When the time comes, it is really easy to dodge with open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows.
"What's wrong, Brian, did you think of something?" Leo couldn't help but ask, seeing Brian's strange expression.
"No, it's just that I thought, even if we can't prove that we opened the Dark Canopy, how can Rex prove that he did it? Can't he just say it and the academy will agree with him, right?" asked Brian as he came back to his senses and digressed the subject.
"That's where I made a mistake. Leo smiled wryly and said, "Do you remember the alias of the Dark Canopy?"
"Arena of the Elder Elves?" Brian replied, not understanding why Leo brought it up at this time.
"That's right, I only found out later when I looked through the information. In this kind of arena, the winner will be rewarded. Leo nodded and said, "And Rex should have been rewarded with a magic inheritance from other magic array switches." ”
"Although Rex didn't say it, I guess that kind of magic inheritance is a kind of defensive magic, and with their family's 'thorn magic', it can be said to complement each other. ”
"But even so, then the academy admitted? didn't ask him how to find the magic array switch, how to defeat the keeper of the switch? no one questioned?" Brian always felt that the Odin Academy's approach was too hasty.
"Brian, don't you understand?" Leo looked at Brian fixedly, and said expressionlessly: "Odin Academy, or Odin City, needs a hero!"
"A hero who can unexpectedly overwrite the past with this student experience. ”
"And. ”
At this point, Leo stopped, stood in front of a house, and said:
"Not everyone has the courage to afford the price of 'questioning'. ”
Brian took a good look at the two-story house and saw that it was surrounded by tomatoes, rotten eggs, and even a lot of rubble.
"Here?" said Brian, glancing around.
This is not a slum in Odin City, and even if it is, it won't make this more delicate-looking house so down, right?
"It's Coyce's accommodation. Leo sighed lightly, and said with uncontrollable anger in his tone:
"Koys has openly declared Rex to be an impostor from the beginning, but this time, she is not facing the enemies of the Dark One Society, but the angry people of Odin. ”
"If it weren't for the protection of Odin Academy, those people would have demolished this place a long time ago. ”
"So serious?" Brian asked, frowning.
"You underestimate the foolish people who have been instigated. What's more, there are not only mobs among them, but more, there are some nobles who are fueling the troubles. What Brian didn't notice was that Leo's fist had clenched unconsciously when he said the word noble.
"But most importantly, Coyce has been questioning, but never saying who broke the switch, you know, what that means?" Leo turned to look at Brian, meaningful.
This means that in the eyes of outsiders, she is a-stirring stick who is jealous of the merits of others. Brian didn't expect that his words would make Coyce remember them for so long.
"This stubborn stupid woman!" Brian scolded, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw several pieces of rubble shooting from a short distance towards the second-floor window of the house.
He turned his head sharply, and his eyes flashed with a devouring gaze that he didn't even notice!
