Chapter 10 Collective Assessment (Hope Collection and Recommendation)
As expected, Mr. Titchell returned to the Marne Academy, and the next day he summoned all the prospective students and the guards of the prospective students, and issued the assessment task. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Only by passing this test can Kaede and Knnas stay in the Marne Academy, and only by staying in the Marne Academy can Kaede have a chance to come into contact with the people who killed his father and his people in the prophecy.
Black clothes, golden masks, and silver crosses, these are the memories of the arsonist after the library of the Marne College was burned down at the end of the year, and the people with these three characteristics are the ones who killed Kant and Kaede in the future.
If he fails to pass the assessment this time, then even if Knas has the talent to learn magic, he will be expelled from the academy due to his lack of ability. If Kerners were expelled from the academy, Kaede, his guard, would naturally have to leave.
In order to understand the future enemy, Feng will do his best to pass this assessment and strive to stay in the Marne Academy!
At noon, the heat was unbearable, and in a tea shed in the east of the city, Kaede, Knas, and Dog Shao sat on a table drinking tea to quench their thirst while thinking.
Opposite them is a casino, the owner of the casino is Fries, it stands to reason that the casino should be lively and noisy, even on the street can hear the shouting in the casino, but surprisingly this casino is so quiet, you can't hear a trace of movement inside.
As for why this casino is so quiet, that's why the people of the Maple House are here, because all the people in the casino died overnight!
Now this casino has been sealed off by the soldiers of Frankia City, but Kaede and Kernas were ordered by the Marne Academy to investigate the matter, and there is a young city lord by their side, so there is no problem in entering the casino that has been blocked.
The casino is small, and the people who usually come to play are acquaintances, and a total of twenty-three people died in the casino last night. The death of these twenty-three men was very peculiar, some of them stabbed themselves in the chest with knives, as if they had committed suicide;
Some people fell around the table, their heads were broken with a big hole, and there were blood stains left in the corner of the table, they should have hit their heads on the corner of the table and died; some people had bulging cheeks, and as soon as Kaede opened their mouths, the dice immediately fell out of their mouths, as if they had choked to death after eating dice.
No matter how strange these people's deaths were, they all had one thing in common, that is, everyone died with a smile, and their smiles were sweet, as if they were satisfied and happy when they left.
"According to Uncle Ben, they fell for illusion and then committed suicide!"
In the tea shed, the dog had one less leg on the table, affirming.
In fact, Kaede and Knas also think the same way, but it is useless to know the way of killing, the goal of the assessment task is to catch the murderer, if the ability is not enough, if you can't catch the murderer and find the murderer, it can be regarded as completing the task. However, the maple people visited the surrounding residents in the morning and did not find any valuable clues.
"Why don't we survey this casino and its surroundings again in the afternoon, and if we still don't have any clues, we can go to the tailor shop and the rice shop?" suggested Gou Shao.
In addition to this casino, last night, there was also a murder in a nearby tailor shop and rice shop, there was not a single living mouth in the tailor shop and rice shop, and the people who lost their breath died with a smile on their faces, just like the people in this casino.
"There are few dogs, this is not your assessment, the weather is so hot, you don't have to accompany us, and there is still a certain danger!"
Kaede and Konas got up to check the casino again to see if there were any clues they had missed.
"Hey, hey!" Who knew that Gou Shao immediately followed and said: "Teacher Feng, your business is my uncle's business, can I be difficult to live in the scorching heat?" Besides, uncle, I am a berserker, as a berserker, how can I be bluffed by a little danger, uncle?"
No way, Gou Shao stuck to Kaede like a kraft candy, looking at his enthusiastic appearance, Kaede didn't refuse his follow, after all, multiple people have multiple helpers, maybe the places he and Knas didn't pay attention to can be observed by Gou Shao, and the details observed by Gou Shao may be the key to the case.
However, to the dismay of the three of them, they still found nothing in the afternoon. In the evening, as they were about to walk towards the tailor's shop where the murder had occurred, they saw on a pillar by the side of the road the sign of the Marne College, and the sign of the prospective students' connection.
There are two ways to assess prospective students in Marne College over the years, one is individual assessment, that is, each person has a task, and whoever completes the task will pass the assessment;
The assessment task accepted by this class of prospective freshmen is a collective assessment, so finding out the murderer requires everyone's joint efforts. It has been agreed between prospective students that if they find a clue and need help, they can issue a marker for communication between prospective students.
"You found the clue so quickly, faster than my uncle!"
Gou Shao looked at the mark on the pillar, a little annoyed, and seemed unwilling to let others solve the case faster than himself.
Kaede: "Just find the clue, whoever finds it!" Since this person has left a mark, then let's just follow." ”
Kernas and the dog had no objections, so they followed the markers they had left behind, and as they walked, they came to the west of the city, and then they had passed through the west gate of the city and stepped out of the city of Franmia!
Beyond the west of the city was a forest, and the maple men walked through the forest for a quarter of an hour before they found the prospective student who had left the mark. It was only when he got there that Kaede found that the other prospective students and the guards of the prospective students had arrived.
Seeing Kaede, Knass, and Dog Shao coming, one prospective student said to the other, "Daphne, now that everyone is together, you can say it, right?
When Kaede looked at Daphne from a distance, she found that she was quite thin and had yellow skin, as if she had not eaten enough or drunk enough food and nutrition when she was a child.
Daphne's personality seems to be relatively shy, being looked at by everyone, her rough fingers are constantly intertwined, and she is obviously a little nervous inside. Her gaze shrank, as if she had no confidence to look directly at the others.
Although she wears a magic apprentice robe that symbolizes her identity as a magician, it can't hide her strong local atmosphere, giving people the feeling of a small village girl from the mountains.
It was such a shy girl who caught the clues of the murder?Kaede looked at her curiously to see what she could say.
"I ...... I ......"
I don't know if it was nervousness, nature or other reasons, Daphne stuttered a little, and kept her head down for a long time without saying a word.
"What are you, don't waste my time!"
At that moment, a prospective student suddenly drank and scared Daphne into trembling.
Kaede couldn't help but look a little unhappy when he saw this scene, why was this person so rude?
Gou Shao noticed Feng's face, rolled up his sleeves, and asked, "Teacher Feng, do you want me to teach him a lesson?"
"Let's see!" said Kaede.
At this time, another prospective student also urged: "Teacher Titchell has limited us to complete the task within seven days, the time is urgent, now that we are all together, if you find anything, please tell everyone quickly, if you don't find it, we have to go back to find clues!"
"Yes, it's already dark, the day is over, tell me what you know!"
The others were also anxious, after all, there were only seven days, and no one could guarantee that they would be able to catch the murderer, and if they couldn't, then their dreams of becoming magicians and getting ahead would be shattered.
Just as everyone was urging Daphne, a man next to Daphne spoke, and he said, "Don't make any noise, let me talk!"
