Chapter 45: The villain finally acts

"It's really confusing to come here this time. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Riding in the carriage that took them back to school, said with some depression.

Anyone who is treated the same as him will definitely complain - he is invited over, and then he is directly placed to play, and the next day he only needs to say hello and drive people away...... Well, if it weren't for the fact that the gap between the two sides was too great, and the Duke and her friend were beautiful women, maybe he would have taken the door out yesterday afternoon.

"I'm also confused.,Somehow summoned us over.,Inexplicably let us spend a night in the villa.,And somehow sent us to the school park...... I don't understand what Her Excellency is trying to do!"

Abner sighed as if grumbling. Although he knew a little more than could have known by what he had observed and thought, he still had nothing to do with what he wanted to know.

Miss Catelyn had a good relationship with Duke Illya—good enough to command her own servants on her behalf, and they were both people with stories, Duke Illya's parents were dead, Duke Illya had endured hardships, and Duke Illya had gone through hardships...... But it has nothing to do with the test he has to face!

Even if he knew the character of His Excellency the Duke more clearly, could he still deduce from her character what test she was going to give himself?

Not at all.

"You don't understand either?"

Abner's speech made feel puzzled: "It seems to be ...... The Duke and that Miss Catelyn seem to have put you to the test, right?"

"Hmm. Abner did not deny it—although it was not entirely heard, the conversation at the dinner table in the morning was enough to enlighten about something. However, he had already prepared for this: "It is because of Miss Jane's business--Your Excellency the Duke and Your Excellency Catlyn called me over, presumably for this matter, and I was a little more fortunate to pass Miss Catelin's test--Didn't Your Excellency the Duke ask you to do anything?"

“...... That, I really didn't do anything!" After being stunned for a while, cried with some regret and envy: "After I went, I was led to the guest room by Rosie's butler, and then read the book for a while, and then I had dinner with you...... I really envy you that I didn't let me do anything at all, just by coming here, you can get such preferential treatment......"

"Preferential treatment?" Abner rolled his eyes, "if you are so nervous that you can't sleep all night, or even face ...... Ahem, it's definitely not a pleasant treat. ”

In the middle of his words, Abner hurriedly stopped - the fact that Katrin was the Elector of the Duchy of Thun was not something that ordinary people could know, and if he rashly said that he had been assigned for twenty years, and then Heyman would find out the bottom of it, even if it would not be exposed, it would make Heyman think of something, such as whether Miss Katrin had anything to do with the Duchy of Thun.

Although it is too possible for to investigate something because of this, if he says it in this way, he will also appear to be a bit of a loud-mouthed and small broadcaster, and has no sense of secrecy...... Maybe it will lower the evaluation of Miss Jane and her sister because of this.

"Can't tell?"

"Well, can't say. Nodding, Abner said half-jokingly, "Just as we can't tell anyone what happened at breakfast time, if I do, maybe Heyman will only be looking for me in memory." ”

"It was tragic. Abner's intention was to send him to the Duchy of Thun for twenty years, but Hayman misunderstood Abner's meaning, thinking that he was saying that he would be killed. So he shrugged his shoulders cooperatively, and said in the same joking tone: "In order not to let you only appear in my memory, then I won't ask you anymore." ”

"Thank you for your understanding. ”

In a relaxed conversation, the problem is dissolved.

"By the way, the book that His Highness Jian borrowed me has already been read, after I go back this afternoon, will you go with me to return it to His Highness Jane?"

When the conversation about shared experiences was over, as if suddenly remembered, said something else to Abner.

"Finished?" Abner, who didn't react for a while, was a little puzzled at first—what had you finished? But immediately recalled his memory from his brain: "You have finished reading that book of Lord Catherine?"

Such a thick professional reference book, to say the least, has 120,000 words, can Heyman read it so quickly?

"Yes. Seeing that Abner seemed a little disbelieving, he explained: "Since I borrowed it, I have spent most of my time on that book, so although it has only been half a month, I have already read it three times "On the Role of Planning and Construction of Road Systems in Promoting National Development." ”

"Oh......" Abner nodded, indicating that he understood. It turned out that I was reading it without sleep and food, no wonder I was able to read it so quickly - the reference book is not an online text, there is no way to look at ten lines of eyes like flying, I have to slowly experience it in a sentence and a sentence, and sometimes I have to connect with the context, and when I encounter something I don't understand, maybe I have to check professional books or ask professionals. Coupled with the consistent reading speed problem of the 'ancient people', if you can read it three times in half a month when there is a class, is also hard enough.

However, looking at's appearance, there are no dark circles under his eyes, nor a thin face, a scruffy beard, or pimples...... Did he have a special reading skill?

"Abner?" asked with some confusion in his eyes that seemed to be looking for something.

"Ah, I think, Heyman, don't you want to watch it a few more times? After all, you have already borrowed it, so it would be good to watch it a few more times. ”

"Ah......h So I wanted to take advantage of this time to return the book to His Royal Highness Jane. ”

"I see, then there is no way. Abner suddenly felt - not because he didn't want to see more, but because he was on a mission.

"Then let's go over this afternoon. ”

......

By the time they returned to the academy, it was nearly dusk - in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles and rumors, they had the coachman of the carriage park the carriage at a junction far from the academy, and then dismount the carriage and walk back to the dormitory - which was again met with the appreciative glance of Rossi's butler. Then, after resting for a while, after tidying up and replenishing water by the way, the two of them took the book "On the Promoting Role of the Planning and Construction of the Road System in Promoting the Development of the Country" and walked in the direction of Jane's dormitory.

When she arrived at the girls' dormitory of the martial arts department at her destination, she explained her intention to the serious middle-aged woman who was said to be a ninth-level powerhouse, Ms. Anabel, as usual, and after getting Jane's answer in the dormitory, she passed it on to the inside. Then, Abner and Heyman waited intently.

It didn't take long for the two of them to see two unclear figures in the distance—but not Jane and Paris.

Or rather, one of them is Jane, but the other is not Paris, but a figure in a long dress with long blond hair.

At the first glance of this figure, Abner suddenly had a bad premonition, and as the two got closer and closer, his premonition became more and more serious.

Eventually, when the two of them reached a point where they could recognize their faces, his hunch was fulfilled.

Her Royal Highness Clarence Dwight!

Walking with Jane was none other than the fifth-year chief student of the Magic Department, the beloved daughter of Prince Illinus, and Jane's rival.

His Royal Highness, who had been acquainted with Abner for once, approached the two of them with a rather leisurely and graceful step, with a graceful smile on his beautiful face that looked like a hunter seeing his prey.

And Jane, who walked with her, although her steps were equally steady and elegant, the smile that barely appeared on her face was filled with lingering helplessness and bitterness.

"Good afternoon, Her Highness Claris, Her Highness Jane. ”

"Good afternoon, Her Highness Claris, Her Highness Jane. ”

Abner, who knew that he was about to be ridiculed, or even insulted, followed behind Heyman, who had adjusted his expression, and greeted His Highness.

"Good afternoon, Ellis and Abner Felix. With an elegant smile on his face and a pleasant voice, he made Abner feel a sense of ill-intentioned Claris.

"Good afternoon, Hayman-san, Abner. With a wry smile on her face, Jane with a look in her eyes that said, 'I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble'.

"So, since you've said hello, Hayman-san will take out the book you are holding, let me read it too!"

"......" clenched his left hand between the books, and Heyman, who was forced to composure, cast an inquiring look at Jane.

"Let Claris take a look. Jane nodded and said with a wry smile.

"Oh......" Seeing the cover of the book, Claris's eyes widened in surprise, and she said in a rather exclamatory tone: "It turned out to be this book "On the Promoting Role of the Planning and Construction of the Road System in Promoting the Development of the Country"! Even I don't have this book!"

Then, she looked at Jane with a smirk:

"So, dear Jane, do you have anything to say to me?"

PS: It's late, but I'm still asking for collections, recommendations, and clicks.

Claris, as a mini-boss, is still enough for Abner to fight for a while.

Because of the disconnection, we need a little water, so let's tell a little story.

From "The Collected Sayings of Abner Felix, King of the Sages, and His Friends"

Abner Felix saw that Jane Dwight and Felicia Don Stuart were chatting happily together, and felt that it was dangerous for her (Felicia was a lily), so when the two were finished, he went to Jane, and said to her worriedly:

"Don't come into contact with her, Jane, that's a danger to you!"

Jane was puzzled, "Why?"

Believing she didn't know, Abner explained, "She likes girls!"

Jane asked, confused, "So what?"

Abner was even more anxious: "This is dangerous!"

Jane looked at him for a while, sighed, and said, "...... Abner, do you think 'pervert' and 'like girls' are the same words?"

Abner pondered for a moment and then said, "I was wrong, Jane. ”
