[049] He is not a murderer
Exam time is discontinued.
Chrissy put down her pen and checked the paper again, and all but a few spells were too lengthy to fully memorize.
You should be able to pass this exam.
She breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her wand and chanted a spell gently, and the slightly cluttered things on the table were instantly neat and tidy.
Since Kenlin had just left, the classroom was uninvigilated, so the elves who supervised the books came to help.
The girl stood up and took out the small gift she had prepared from the drawer, intending to send it to Lannoth and congratulate him on his perfect score.
Tutor Kenlin said that the teenager had completed the exam ahead of schedule and was currently the only perfect score, and now he should be invigilating Miss Shanna alone.
Thinking of this, Chrissy felt sullen.
Lonely men and widows are alone in a room, and it's a bit awkward to think about it.
And Miss Shanna still hates Lannoth very much, what if she deliberately embarrasses him?
Chrissy walked slowly towards the infirmary with a book in her arms, but just around a corner, she heard a man's roarโ
"Shut up!
Chrissy was startled and hurriedly ran over, but saw that the young man she was thinking about was restrained by his hands, as if he was being forced to kneel down before someone.
However, Lannoth did not kneel, his blue eyes were unusually calm, and although he was treated like this, he still did not get angry.
"The first time, you shot Shanna in the woods, and the second time, you tried to kill her. Kevin pulled out the spear on his waist, aimed it at the young man's heart, and said coldly: "I won't give you another chance to hurt Shanna, inferior civilian, don't dirty her eyes." โ
Kenlin's eyes froze, and a fiery red magic array suddenly blocked in front of Lannoth, and his wand burned into flames, and the flames expelled all the knights around Lannoth!
"Mentor Kenlin, are you trying to shield the murderer?" Kevin's voice was cold.
"Harboring the murderer?Based on your little speculation, you are sure that Lennoth is the murderer, Your Excellency Kevin, I will give you face, but if you want to kill my student in front of me, I will not agree. "Kenlin was resolute and didn't back down.
The atmosphere was frozen for a while.
Unrestrained, Lannoth was finally able to stand up straight.
His expression was flat, and he rubbed his wrist gently, and his white wrist was scratched by the two knights, and it seemed that he had a lot of strength.
The boy raised his eyes slightly and looked at Kevin.
The man's eyes were full of jealousy, he was angry, and he wanted to kill himself.
Lannoth sighed softly.
He suddenly took a step and walked out of the magic array that Kenlin had set up to protect him, which made Kenlin slightly startled, "Lannoth, go back!"
But the boy turned a deaf ear.
He looked indifferent, step by step, and slowly walked towards Kevin, until the man's muzzle was pressed against his heart, and the boy stopped.
"Viscount Balmain," said Lannoth, his voice clear and calm, and he had no fear of a bullet that could be fired at any time from the mouth of his heart, "I have not harmed Miss Shanna. โ
"The first time, when Miss Shanna was injured, I was in Herron, shopping for clothes with a friend I had just met. โ
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the owner of the clothing store, and my friend. โ
"The second time, it was Miss Shanna who said she was hot that I would open the window. I never took my previous conflict with Miss Shanna to heart. โ
"I'm not going to hurt her, and I don't want to hurt her. โ
"As a god, if I have the slightest thought of killing Miss Shanna, I will fall into the flames of purgatory, and I will never be accepted by God again. โ
Once one becomes a learner of magic, then all vows will be heard by God.
He couldn't lie.
"You think I'll believe it?" Kevin sneered, he didn't believe what the boy said, even if it was true, he would want Lannoth to disappear because of his jealousy.
"It's true!" Suddenly, the girl's anxious voice came from the other direction, "Viscount Balmain, it's true! Lannoth was with me at that time, he couldn't have gone to the woods to hurt Miss Shanna!"
Chrissy ran over, nervously looking at the gun against the boy's chest, afraid that Kevin would shoot in the next second.
The man's fingers tightened when he pulled the trigger, and he wanted to shoot this person to death!
Sometimes, it feels like something really is amazing.
He seemed to sense the strangeness of the teenager, but he didn't have enough evidence to really prove that this person was the murderer who hurt Shanna!
Kenlin stepped forward, pinched the muzzle of the gun with one hand, his dark eyes were filled with anger, and said coldly: "Besides, Lord Kevin, the bullet taken out of Shanna's wound last time contains the dark element, do you remember?"
Kevin tried to pump his shotgun, but Kenlin was so tight that he couldn't take it back.
This is a warning.
The man sneered, his pupils and Kenlin looking at each other.
"So what?" he said coldly.
Kenlin raised his eyebrows: "How? Since Lord Kevin doesn't know yet, I'll tell you." โ
"Lannoth, is an affinity for the light element, and his affinityโ"
Kenlin sneered, "Up to ninety-nine percent, approaching saturation." โ
Darkness and light cannot coexist.
This is something that everyone on the mainland knows.
Kevin paused.
If Lannoth is a light element, then all his suspicions must be cleared, even if he wants to find a reason to suspect him, it is simply impossible.
The light element is very rare in the continent, let alone close to saturation affinity.
The mind that had been carried away by jealousy before also woke up when he saw the light elemental ball in the young man's hand.
Kenlin let go of his hand, and Kevin could only slowly lower the gun.
The element of light, that's a reason to always be at the top.
Lannoth lowered his eyes, his voice was small, but he was very firm, "Viscount Balmain, I can understand your concern for Miss Shanna's safety. โ
"But I'm in a hurryโ"
He suddenly changed his tone, lowered his voice, and smiled in Kevin's ear at a volume that only two people could hear: "I'm afraid, it will only cause more unnecessary trouble." โ
"For exampleโ"
There was a slight chill in the young man's blue eyes, "Offend the whole of Farminay, or the whole of the wizarding world." โ
"After all, if the light elemental affinity that is close to saturation disappears because it is misunderstood, it will be difficult to find the second one. Will the high-ranking magicians, or the magicians and archmages, feel sorry for this?, maybe your Excellency is all right, but will Miss Shanna be implicated?"
"So...... What do you think, Viscount Balmain?"
*
What does he think?
How else could he feel?
Kevin clenched the barrel of the gun, and his dark pupils met the young man's blue and gentle pupils, even if his tone was soft, it seemed to be some kind reminder, but he still heard the threat from the young man's words.
Maybe the boy really wasn't a murderer.
Because of the light element.
This damn light element.
The atmosphere stiffened again.
Kevin's palms were sweaty, and he wasn't afraid to face those magicians, magicians, or even archmagers. But he was afraid that he would really offend them and cause trouble for Shanna.
The boy's words are right, these troubles, indeed, are unnecessary things.
Shanna.
His Shanna.
What will happen to this child if he is gone?
After the death of his sister, his brother-in-law spent all day drinking, and for him, Shanna was the only relative and the one he loved the most.
Kevin eventually gave up.
He put the gun back in the leather pouch around his waist and looked coldly at the young man in front of him.
Turn and leave.
Came aggressively, but got nothing.
Kevin felt the frustration.
The trail breaks again.
"Go!" the man's voice contained anger, but he couldn't vent it.
However, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly heard a familiar call from behind him: "Uncle Kevin!"
The man paused, he turned his head slightly, and looked at his niece who was running towards him, Shanna.
The girl should have finished the exam, and her face was full of her familiar smile.
Sophie trotted all the way over, she ran to the man's side, took his hand and said, "I tell you, I will definitely get a perfect score in this exam!"
Kevin looked at the girl beside him, and for some reason the anger suddenly dissipated.
He rubbed Shanna's head and smiled softly, "That's great, Shanna." โ
"Uncle Kevin, what is the matter with you coming here this time?" asked Sophie.
Kevin shook his head, "No, just talking to your classmates." โ
"Classmates?" Sophie looked disdainful: "I'm not classmates with this low-class civilian, he is not qualified." โ
This sentence made Kevin feel more comfortable.
From the girl's eyes, he could see that the disgust was not fake.
But at that time in the forest, Shanna, who was talking about her youth, didn't seem to hate this boy.
And......
Uncle Kevin?
The man's hand suddenly froze.
In the dark pupils, a slight glow quietly flashed in the gentle light.
Shanna in her memory has always only called him-
"Uncle".
*
Sophie knew what Lord Kevin was doing, and it seemed that she saw the footprints and wanted to go with her, but she didn't expect that Lord Kevin thought more than herself.
And it makes perfect sense.
If she didn't know Lan Nosi's character and the identity of the protagonist, she would have believed that Lan Nos was really the murderer who killed her!
But the protagonist, naturally, has a solution to all problems, and as she expected, Kevin was really convinced.
Lannoth was indeed not a murderer.
However, the man didn't seem to be in a good mood before leaving.
Sophie was lying on the window, looking at the back of the man turning around, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Kevin is a good uncle, and everything he does is for his niece.
But the real Miss Shanna could not feel it, nor could she comfort him.
Sophie stood up and ran towards the man.
"Uncle Kevin!"
Again, as she expected, after seeing "Shanna", the man's mood really improved.
She took Kevin's hand and staggered, "Uncle Kevin, I miss you." โ
"Really?" Kevin raised an eyebrow, a smile on his handsome face, "Then I'll come to see you every day?"
Sophie: "...... Not necessarily. โ
The man laughed.
He patted the girl on the shoulder and signaled that he was leaving, and the man slowly left the place with the knights in his shotgun.
