"You mean, the kids are rehearsing for the show?" asked Headmaster Ivana, reading the note and the script.

"Hmm. Cudi and Lin Juexiao nodded.

"It's a shame that two outsiders found clues, but I finally found the direction of the children. Principal Ivana said lightly.

At this moment, a sigh was suddenly heard, and everyone looked at the person who made the sound - it was the vice-principal Karajan.

At this time, he was no longer as fierce as before, and said gloomily: "All this is my dereliction of duty. ”

"Huh?" the crowd looked at him, puzzled.

"That was the other day – the kids were very fond of the heroes of the human world and wanted to put on a show like them," said the vice-principal Karajan. At that time, I severely criticized them and punished them. ”

"It's normal for every child to have their favorite hero. Cudi said. Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone could hear that he was hinting that the vice-principal, Karajan, had handled it in the wrong way.

Unexpectedly, this aroused the temper of the vice-principal Karajan, and he said angrily: "We Elinene don't believe in human beings at all! ”

Cudi was silent, and he couldn't answer this racial prejudice for a while.

Since Elene is so resistant to humans, why would the children be allowed to absorb the knowledge of human heroes? Lin Juexiao wondered in his heart.

Seeing that Cudi didn't speak, the vice principal Karajan slowed down and said, "But I didn't expect that the children were still preparing for the performance later...... They must have been hiding somewhere to keep me from finding out, so they secretly rehearsed somewhere. ”

"It seems that the children disappeared during rehearsals in other places to avoid the teachers – such as deep in the forest, or even fell into the ...... of the lake," Cudi wanted to say "fell into the lake", but he knew it was wrong and stopped talking.

But apparently everyone understood what he meant. Vice Principal Karayang looked anxious and blamed himself: "This, it's all my fault." If the children have anything long and short...... I, I ......" He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly vicious vice principal, Karajan, cared about the children wholeheartedly. Cudi was a little surprised, and suddenly his impression of him changed, and he had a good impression.

Lin Juexiao didn't feel it, he was good at discerning people's hearts, and at first he knew that this vice principal Karayan was a knife and a tofu heart, and he was anxious about the children, except for a little pedantic such as racial prejudices, his heart was not bad - but the principal Ivana, who always felt a little weird. Lin Juexiao thought to himself.

"Please be calm, Mr. Vice Chancellor. The more times like this, the more you need to be calm. Principal Ivana said, at this time, he immediately showed his qualities as a principal.

Principal Ivana said to Lin Juexiao and Cudi again: "First of all, I apologize to you for this kind of thing. It's all a misunderstanding on our part, can you continue to help us in order to get our children back?"

"Headmaster, even if you don't say it, we will definitely help find the children. Cudi said.

"Thank you so much. Headmaster Ivana said - she didn't seem to be good at making any expressions, and whatever she said, there wasn't much difference in facial expressions except for a slight difference in tone.

"Let's go find the kids now. Vice-Chancellor Karajan said urgently.

"Wait. Lin Juexiao said, took out the elixir that uses search magic from his backpack, handed it to Vice Principal Karajan and said, "This is the auxiliary potion needed to use search magic, and it was brought by the fairy Wei Yingto." He was worried that the vice principal, Karajan, would not accept it, so he specifically said that it was an item of the fairy Weiying.

"Wei Ying?" said Vice Principal Karajan, of course he knew who Wei Ying was, it was the student he taught. I just wondered how Wei Ying could trust humans - no, now is not the time to think about this.

He took the potion, and immediately raised the fairy wooden staff in his right hand to guide the green liquid in the potion, and suddenly a cloud of green liquid was controlled by him to float in the air.

Then the magic on the vice-principal Karajan's staff suddenly increased, and circles of green magic rippled around, through everyone's bodies, through the bookshelves, through the tree walls, and spread out far away.

Depending on the type of potion, this search magic will be blocked when the ripples of magic that spread out meet the corresponding target, allowing the caster to know which direction the search object is.

When Lin Juexiao was in the magic library, he learned this kind of magic, and the principle is similar to the echolocation of a bat using ultrasound waves.

After a while, Deputy Principal Karajan said: "In the direction of the backyard." With that, he immediately walked briskly to the back door.

The crowd hurriedly followed.

The vice-principal, Karajan, was bent on finding the children, and when he went out the back door, he flapped his wings and flew up, and the headmaster, Ivana, followed behind. The remaining two had no wings and had to trot all the way.

As the distance progressed, Cudi's breathing had become more undulating. And because Lin Juexiao has practiced Dou Qi, his physique is not at the same level as that of ordinary magicians, and he is very relaxed.

Along the way, he encountered some monsters, which were half-human onion essence and radish essence, all of which were solved by the impatient Vice Principal Karajan with one or two fireball techniques. It's the headmaster, Ivana, who hasn't made a move.

Those onion essence smoked so that Cudi kept crying and sneezing, and Lin Juexiao was not less offended.

When Lin Juexiao followed behind, he observed and estimated: In terms of purely magical strength, Vice Principal Karayang's strength should only be slightly stronger than himself. It seems that the strength of the goblin clan is not strong, and the strength is not as good as that of humans, so they will naturally be suspicious.

The four of them walked forward for a while, and the vice principal, Karajan, said, "It's just ahead." ”

At this time, they saw a stage in the distance, which had the front half of a large tree hollowed out to face the audience, surrounded by two tall wooden stands.

"That's ...... Yes, the children must be rehearsing there!" said Vice Principal Karajan, speeding up.

No, that's not right...... If it's a rehearsal, it's impossible not to go back to the academy for many days in a row, something must have happened. Lin Juexiao thought to himself.

After a while, I saw five goblins leaning against the stage, seemingly sleeping.

"It's the kids!" said the vice-principal, Karajan, excitedly, and immediately sped forward.

At this time, Lin Juexiao caught a glimpse of the five little goblins all having a circle of dark purple ropes tied to them.

He immediately thought of the rope that had bound Cudi earlier, and a shadow slowly enlarged in his heart......

A dull blade condensed from dark purple magic stabbed through the backhead Karajan's back.

The vice-principal, Karajan, snorted, and just turned around, his eyes still filled with doubt, and he lost consciousness.

The dark purple blade was drawn from his back, and the Vice Principal, Karajan, slowly fell to the ground.

Cudi watched this scene in disbelief - the person who shot it was actually the headmaster Ivana.

Cudi was terrified and cried out, "Headmaster Ivana, you, why did you do that?"

"Hehehe...... Headmaster Ivana turned his back to the two of them, shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

After a while, Ivana turned around with an extremely evil smile on his face, and his eyes were bent into crescents.

Cudi suddenly saw that her expression had become so terrifying, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Ivana said in a grinning, creepy voice, "Why should I do this?" she asked, but not like she was asking the two of them, but like talking to herself.

"In the beginning, the disappearance of the five children was your design, right? Lin Juexiao said calmly.

"Oh?" Ivana's distorted smile slowly turned to Lin Juexiao, and said, "I didn't expect there to be someone who could see it-"

"It's impossible for Elone Academy to have books about human heroes, and it's impossible for teachers to teach children about human heroes, so that's what you revealed to the children. Lin Juexiao continued.

"Yes. The corners of Ivana's mouth were raised high, and his wrinkled cheeks were very strange—"If I hadn't put history books and scripts in the children's room, how would they have been able to write them?

"Sure enough. Lin Juexiao said lightly.

"There's one more thing I don't understand. Lin Juexiao said again.

"Hehehe...... Ask, ask, and I'll tell you, as a reward for a smart student. ”

"As the principal, why don't you just order the children to perform on the stage, but carefully lure them like this?" Lin Juexiao asked.

"When something is allowed, it doesn't be a secret. Ivana laughed.

It turned out that she was afraid that other teachers and children would find out. Lin Juexiao thought to himself.

Cudi was shocked by Lin Juexiao and Ivana's question, and only now did he regain his senses and asked, "What are you doing this for?"

Ivana let out a shrill laugh of madness. She didn't pay any attention to the two young magicians, after all, the strength of the magician was directly proportional to their age, and she was older than the two of them combined. In fact, she is already at the top of the intermediate magician, and is about to become a high-level magician.

"For what—I'll answer you, and let you die blindly. Ivana set his sights on Cudi.

"I will dedicate my purest goblin power to the great man - when darkness returns to the elves will be a superior race above humanity - and I am the king of this race!" Ivana floated in the air with her arms outstretched, as if she were already the king of the world.

Intimidated by Ivana's momentum, Cudi stepped back, accidentally tripped over a rock, and immediately sat down on the ground.

That great person? Lin Juexiao frowned, unable to remember what it meant for a moment.

At this time, Ivana said slowly, "Since you all know, then-"

"—go die!"

As soon as she said the words "die", a ball of dark purple energy shot out and smashed into Cudi who was sitting on the ground.

Cudi froze in place, staring at the rapidly approaching ball of energy, dumbfounded.
