Chapter 33: The Chief Dean
The white-bearded old man I saw in front of me in the cave, but he was not wearing a simple coarse cloth robe, the luxurious dark blue mage robe was dotted with some chips, the neckline was embroidered with complex line patterns, and the cuffs were tattooed with a mana amplification formation, judging from the multiple amplifications that could withstand the multiple amplifications, the fabric of this robe was definitely not ordinary, and he was wearing a standard mage pointed hat on his head, the only difference from Wright's imagination was that he was not wearing glasses, and his eyes were still bright despite his age.

Wright didn't know what to say for a while, but the other party was the chief dean, so he should solemnly introduce himself and express his respect, right, but Wright doesn't usually do this kind of thing, and he was suddenly pulled here, and he couldn't organize the language for a while, "Eh, my name is Wright, I've admired the dean's name for a long time, and I didn't do well last time, please understand." After holding back for a long time, Wright said something incoherent.
The dean smiled when he saw Wright's embarrassed and helpless appearance, and even Fiona in the back was anxious for him, "Okay, okay, don't be so restrained, just treat me as an ordinary old man." Wright calmed down a little when he heard this, fortunately the other party was not a particularly old-fashioned type, but he still didn't completely relax.
"It wasn't a big deal last time, you didn't hear the important part, did you, and you're standing here because of that. The dean looked at the three of them with interest, and Wright was also a little angry when he heard it, and sure enough, the three of them fell into this step, and Yoricna was indispensable in the middle, so it was not a big deal to think that the other party saved him, that is, he still had use value.
Looking at the dean angrily, Wright also calmed down completely, since it is still an unfinished game, then he must correct his posture, otherwise he will become an outcast, "I'm sorry for you this time, old man, I want you to make a special trip." The dean said to the old man standing next to him, "This young man has also helped me, if you don't say that I will also go, there is no need to say this, then you can be busy." As he spoke, the old man walked out of the door with his hands behind his back and with a relaxed step.
"So let's get down to business. Watching the old man walk out of the door, Wright preemptively spoke, at this time, he didn't care about any dignity and inferiority, and he had to take the initiative in the conversation so as not to be led by the nose, the dean just looked at Wright quietly and motioned for him to continue, Wright walked slowly to the dean's table and took out the letter that had been lying in it for a long time from the free space.
The dean didn't ask much, he opened the envelope directly, read it at a glance and ten lines, and then waved his hand, and the letter burned to ashes in the air, "There is no trace of the envelope being opened, so you are not curious about what is written in it?" The dean asked Wright with interest, "Although I can't find out the means used on the envelope, since it is a confidential content, there is no reason to let people read it casually, this kind of unguarded letter is essentially a trap." ”
A glint flashed in the dean's eyes, "Yes, it's worthy of the person Yorickna chose to work with, looking like a child, it's really not simple." But Wright didn't take his touting words and continued, "That is, whether I look at it or not, the result is acceptable to you, but the countermeasures are certainly different." ”
Wright paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "If what is written in it is indeed the next plan of action, then I guess if I read it, you will definitely know this, and then induce the king's people to go to great lengths to arrest me, and then torture me to confess what I know, and I am just an outsider who has nothing to do with you, and I will certainly not let myself suffer for this, and you can just use this to set up an ambush and take the king by surprise." ”
Wright said that the dean had put away his playful attitude here, and looked at Wright cautiously, as if he was measuring the depth of his opponent, "So the letter that is not sealed, or even the contract with me, is a deliberate trap, and you must be more happy to see me open the letter than to deliver it to you safely, isn't it, okay, let's stop the part of exploring each other, now you can talk about the next part." ”
And the dean didn't answer Wright's words immediately, still looking at the three Wright quietly, Wright was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the other party to speak, and there was a strange silence in the room for a moment, before the half-paid dean spoke, "You picked out your words so clearly, aren't you afraid that I will let you disappear now?" "Because you made the same mistake as Her Royal Highness the Princess, you underestimated me too much, in order to make this conversation more honest, it is worth taking a little risk." ”
Wright said so, but he was already playing the drum in his heart, although the strategy was the same as when facing the princess, but the difference was that the opponent he faced was different, compared to the last time there was only a princess and a knight chief who were not very strong, and there were not many guards left behind in the camp, and now the person in front of him can pinch the existence of three people with one hand, which is completely different from the previous situation of running away if he didn't talk properly, but since Wright is already in someone's room, he can only bet on the other party and his guess.
"And" Wright suppressed the emotions in his heart and said calmly, "You already know her situation, don't you" Wright pointed to Fiona behind him, "That note is not so much a kind reminder as a warning, since you already have the chips in your hands, you can continue the conversation, right, and secondly, you don't want to save the chess pieces in vain, I haven't said anything that will harm you, is it, everything is just a little speculation on my part." ”
"No wonder Yoricna told me to be careful of you, you deserve this evaluation, and I'm even a little worried about whether we're playing with fire when we work with you. The dean said in a half-questioning and half-rhetorical tone, and Wright laughed, "Haha, don't you play with fire as an archmage, ordinary fireballs have long been at your fingertips, and since I am now a person on a boat, I can't get out of it until I reach the shore or capsize, and I just want the boat to dock as soon as possible." ”
"Hmph, you don't need to pretend to be relaxed, I can feel your heartbeat, sweating, body temperature, magic fluctuations, and even emotional fragments pouring out," the dean said and stood up and walked to the bookshelf next to him, "But Rao is like this, you are not simple, when I was as young as you, I couldn't do it like you, and I have to applaud you." ”
It's still noticed, although Wright has tried his best to suppress his physical reaction, but this pure strength gap can't be made up for because of this, but on the other hand, it's a good thing to let the other party perceive his nervousness, and the other party will know that Wright is not completely winning, and the person with flaws is the person who has room for conversation, the kind of person who is completely calm without the slightest emotion, is really terrible.
The Dean took a book from the shelf and returned to the table, spread it out on the table, and said to Wright, "Then let's talk about what to do next, Mr. Wright." ”
