The night was dark, and only the occasional crow noise of crows broke the silence in the dark night.

Carter and Ball sat in the middle of the room, staring at the half-burned candles in the room. After waiting for a while, Bauer finally couldn't help but ask: "Carter, Russell suddenly left with that person and hasn't come back yet, do you think there's something wrong with that strange man?"

Carter held his sword and said calmly: "I have also thought about this possibility, but don't you know Russell? He is a very cautious person, if he doesn't trust that person, he won't leave with him easily, let's wait a while, if Russell hasn't returned to the hotel in three hours, we will take the team directly into the academy to find him." ”

Bauer stood up, and just wanted to say something, there was a knock on the door outside, and the two people in the room suddenly became nervous, drew their swords and asked vigilantly: "It's late at night, which guest is coming to visit?"

"I've praised you for your vigilance, but we're all going to be tired, can you let us in and drink water?" came the familiar Russell's grumbling voice outside.

The two looked at each other and opened the door, and Russell and Carlos walked into the room side by side. Bauer pointed to Carlos and said, "This gentleman took Russell away." ”

Russell said angrily: "You misunderstood him, he is a good gentleman!" Carter saw Russell's exhaustion, and hurriedly poured out two bowls of hot water and sent them to them.

Russell nodded to Carter, took a sip of the water and let out a satisfied voice, and waited for the other three to sit down and begin to talk about what they had seen and heard at the academy this afternoon.

Russell talked in one breath about the time when the candle was about to go out, and then Carter got up to add the candle, and Bauer's eyes widened, scratching his messy hair and sighing: "I didn't expect even St. Caron to have a monster?

Carlos clasped his knuckles on the table and considered, "That's what we're going to talk about now, I'll get some of my fellow people in the community to get some news when I go back, they haven't faced these things, I don't expect them to be able to deal with the evil." ”

Bauer asked, "Can't you report it to the Empress?"

Carlos laughed and said: "According to my analysis, there are not many dukes in the empire mentioned by the mysterious people today, and the most likely one is my family's nemesis - Duke Nicholas, he is now a powerful minister, you said that a powerless underage young man told the empress about this, do you think she will believe it?"

"Then why did he do such a rebellious thing when he was so powerful?"

Carlos shook his head and said helplessly, "That's not something I can know!"

"Alright!" Russell looked at the crowd and said, "Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and our forces are too weak to fight with them, so let's do it, it will be a competitive meeting in a few days, and Daun is going to duel with me, this grand event will definitely attract a lot of people to watch, can Dean David not attend?

After listening to it, the three of them felt that there was nothing wrong with Russell's idea, and they discussed some details, Carlos found that it was almost midnight, and he had to contact others for help, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Russell and got into the carriage on the way back.

As soon as he entered the house, Carlos found that the house was brightly lit, and when he walked through the door, Charlotte was sitting in his usual seat, frowning at him, and said, "Carlos, where have you been so late? Why don't you let the servant inform me? You never come home late, how worried do you make me like this?"

Carlos understood that although her sister pretended to be very angry, in fact, she was really worried about his safety, so she walked forward and smiled: "Sister, I was wrong, I must not be late next time." ”

Seeing Charlotte's anger turn to joy, Carlos held his breath instead, and he said to Charlotte: "Sister, I need the help of your good sisters!"
