"Oh my God, where did you get that?" Barry's eyes widened as he looked at the grenade in Harry's hand.

"Leave it at that, but I'm sure it's much better than a wand." Hallie raised her eyebrows slightly mischievously, and threw the grenade known as the "Little Lemon of the Soviet Union" up and down in her hand, and Barry and Bruce Jr. were terrified when they watched.

"You're not going to use this thing against the Dryad, are you?" Bruce hesitated for a moment and asked, and Barry glared at Hallie and said, "You can't do that, this might destroy the school building!" ”

"Not really." Harley shook her head and said very confidently: "The buildings here are all elves in the Maiya world, and the materials used to build them are different from the buildings in ordinary society, and the strength is high!" ”

"But it's ridiculous to bomb a school with a grenade."

"Don't tell me you never thought of it that way."

Barry tiptoed and stopped talking, even if the obedient child occasionally got tired of school, who didn't think about bombing the school when he was a child?

"Stop talking nonsense, we're going to go to the cafeteria, finish our meal before everyone else, and then go to the library to check the materials."

Without saying anything more, the three of them hurried to the cafeteria, the daily meals of the Magic Academy were not as many as the grand ceremony, but there were a lot of bread, roasted meats and stewed vegetables, full of plates filled the table, and the three people who rushed to the table first chose the hot meals to their heart's content, and then finished eating as quickly as possible.

But on their way to the library, they meet an unexpected person, and that is Bruce Wayne, the dean of Wayne College.

"Are you going to the library? Be careful when passing through the main castle, I've heard that some students have been injured before. ”

Barry felt a little uncomfortable when he was stared at by Bruce Wayne's blue eyes, but the concern and faint worry about the students contained in it could not be faked.

Barry nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Professor, we won't be going to the fourth floor." ”

"Of course, I'm sure you're all good boys who follow the school rules, but I don't understand why Principal Jim put such an important Philosopher's Stone in the school, which is not a good thing for the safety of the students."

"You don't know why Jim, the Night Master, put the Philosopher's Stone in the school?" Harley immediately stepped forward and asked.

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I haven't known the Night Master Jim for a long time, and if I talk about it, only Professor Constantine and Professor Rodriguez are old friends of the Night Master in this school. ”

Bruce Jr. and Barry looked at each other, and Barry politely said goodbye to Bruce Wayne as they continued towards the library, Bruce speculated as he walked.

"Wayne looks young, so it's possible that he's not from the same generation as Constantine, Rodriguez, and the Night Master, so he may not have been involved in the design of this trial."

"He looks friendly." Barry shrugged his shoulders and said, "I kind of like the bat doll he gave me." ”

"He took the hearts of almost all the girls in the academy." Hallie yawned and said, "The night he sent the bat doll, Spencer dragged me to gossip about his love history for most of the night. ”

The three of them chatted and chatted before entering the library, a circular minaret at the end of the main castle, with seven floors filled with dense bookshelves.

The three of them split up to find information about Jim, the Night Master, but it was easy to find, Jim was a fairly well-known figure in the wizarding world, and he and his Oblivion Bar were the distribution point for news from the entire wizarding world, and almost all of the archmages in the gang who had the ability to write would mention him in their writings or two.

It didn't take long for the table in front of the three of them to pile up into a small mountain, Bruce was almost flipping through the book at a quantum speed reading speed, and Harley was not far behind, and Barry knew that he didn't have the ability to read, so he gave them a hand next to him and recorded some useful knowledge.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that little Bruce looked up from the mountain-like book, his gaze a little hollow, apparently recalling the material he had just seen, and then concluded.

"Jim, the Night Master, has a very good reputation, almost all mages consider him to be a fairly fair but very forgiving person, and the Oblivion Bar he opened gave mages a platform to communicate with each other, but unfortunately this bar was destroyed during the previous war in the wizarding world."

Harley continued his words, "Headmaster Jim is leaving the school now to go back to rebuild the Oblivion Bar, and he wants to unite the last remaining living forces of the wizarding world to get the angels and demons back their dues. ”

"According to the information, he once saved the wizarding world Maia, and had a very powerful weapon, and when the vampires wreaked havoc in London, his team saved many people, as recorded in Master Andrew's manuscript." Barry read as he looked at his notebook.

"Then he shouldn't have a problem." Bruce thought for a moment and said, "If there is really any conspiracy behind the trial of the Philosopher's Stone, he may be the one who was blinded. ”

"Remember what Dean Wayne said?" Barry grabbed little Bruce's arm and said, "Night Master Jim is an old friend with Dean Rodriguez and Professor Constantine, could it be that the three of them organized this trial?" ”

"Who else but them?" Hallie put the last book in her hand on the high stack of books, and said, "I heard that Professor Strange is also an outsider, Dean Zatara, Dean Wayne, and Professor Pamela are all young, and Lady Shangdu is not human, at most there is another Master Andrew. ”

Bruce touched his chin and said, "Maybe some of them really want to arrange a trial, so that the students can understand that they can't blindly follow the power, and they must take the initiative to stand up and defend the interests of mankind." ”

"Not everyone thinks that way, maybe some people want Jim to put the Philosopher's Stone in school, and the motives are not pure."

Bruce tapped the tip of his finger on the paper and speculated, "The Night Master Jim placed the Philosopher's Stone in a room in the school, and was convinced that only some daring students would steal it, so they wouldn't have set a high level of defense, because it was the students, not the professors. ”

"But if a professor guides Jim to make this decision early, making him think that only students can steal the Philosopher's Stone, so that he can take the initiative to defend himself, then the professor can use this opportunity to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and those means of defending the students can't stop the professor."

"You mean Professor Rodriguez?"

"He's suspicious, isn't he?"

"But what does he want the Philosopher's Stone for? You don't really think he's being controlled by angels and demons, do you? Hallie questioned.

"I didn't tell you that before we got involved, I met him in the hallway of the Dean's office, and it was I who told him about the fact that I had seen a certain angel with the runes of the divine power."

Barry's mouth opened in shock, but Bruce Jr. continued, "But he guessed more before that, at first I thought it might be some kind of magic like mind reading, but then I thought that maybe he deliberately wanted me to feel that way, and the truth is that he learned something about me from a different angle." ”

"Another angle? What do you mean? ”

"If he had a way to communicate with the angels, then he would naturally be able to see that I had a connection with the angels from the angel's point of view, wouldn't he?"

"It's a bit too far-fetched." Barry shook his head and said, "I'd rather believe that it's a mind-reading spell, after all, Professor Rodriguez is still a world-renowned master of psychology, and if he can read minds, then it all makes sense." ”

"But we have to be skeptical, we ......"

As little Bruce said this, his movements suddenly stopped, his body shook in his chair, and he almost fell, after which he covered his forehead and rested his elbows on the table to support his body.

"What's wrong with you?" Hallie asked, giving him a lift.

"It's nothing, I just got dizzy." Bruce Jr. took a deep breath and shook his head in confusion, but soon he was stunned again.

"I think you read too fast just now, and your energy is too much to get dizzy, otherwise we should go back and rest." Barry said as he jumped out of his chair.

"No, have you forgotten? We have one more labor tonight, and we have to go to Professor Pamela to clean up the warehouse. ”

"Oh my God!" Barry covered his forehead and said, "If it weren't for the two of you guys going into trouble, why would I do this?" ”

"Don't complain, we need to go early and come back to bed early so we don't have to wake up tomorrow morning."

Barry wasn't a complaining person, and Bruce didn't say much because he wasn't feeling well, and the three of them put the books back in place and went to the greenhouse again at night.

The large garden at night does not look as prosperous and verdant as it is during the day, on the contrary, the various plants in the night always remind people of hideous ghost claws.

Barry, who was carrying the lantern, rubbed his arm, but he almost jumped up screaming when he was scratched by a branch.

"Can you please stop making a fuss?" Little Bruce frowned and said with some disgust.

"I'm just a little ...... Forget it, it's okay, let's hurry up. ”

Barry swallowed and quickened his pace, and the three of them looked at the lights of the distant hut and walked quickly, soon near the greenhouse.

But just as they were about to enter the courtyard of the house, little Bruce quickly grabbed Harley, leaned behind the courtyard wall and poked his head out, pointing to the courtyard door to Barry.

Under the light of the doorway, the three of them saw a man in a black robe open the door and walk inside, judging by his size, it was definitely not Professor Pamela, but a man.

"Keep up with him." Bruce said in a low voice.

The three of them walked lightly along the courtyard wall to the back door, where there was a whole piece of climbing vines, and the three of them stepped on the thicker knots of the vines to climb to the top of the wall, and then they saw the black-robed man picking plants from the small garden in the courtyard.

"Remember what was said in class? Spiral grass is boiled with deer blood and kale, which has the effect of speeding up the healing of open wounds. Hallie said in a low voice.

"He's taking the cotyledons of Brussels sprouts." Little Bruce craned his neck and looked in, watching the black-robed man's movements and said, "He's got some herbs that can be used to make healing ointments." ”

"Is that Professor Rodriguez?" Barry asked with some suspicion, but because the distance was too far and the other party was wrapped tightly in a black robe, the three of them really couldn't see who the other party was.

"He's coming, hurry, hurry, go down."

The three jumped down from the vine, and after glancing at each other, Barry said:

"Let's go back first, get up early tomorrow morning and check what plants we've lost, if it's really only raw materials for healing potions, then he definitely wants to use it to treat the wound on his arm that was made by the dryad."
