Chapter VII: Crisis (Reform)

"Have you investigated the cause?"

"Hmm... Almost...."

"What do you mean it's almost?"

"My lord, because it was during the Grey Tide, retrospective magic can't be used... Therefore, we have restored some of the incident scenes by investigating the profile. ”

"Say!"

"Investigator Radhoe escorted the suspect Rolda to the gray tide, and just as they were about to enter the darkness, the attackers hiding in the gray tide suddenly attacked them."

"The entire attack ended in less than a second and was divided into three phases. First of all, there was a spiritual shock that was close to that of a white-robed wizard, and this spiritual shock greatly affected Radhoe's spell casting speed; Secondly, it was an ultimate fireball spell that had reached the level of a white-robed wizard and contained a trace of 'traits', which forced Radhoe to explode with all his strength without being distracted. Finally, there is a beam attack that hides in the shadows. This beam was shot during Radhoe's resistance to the Fireball and was the main cause of Radho's death. ”

"In addition, by questioning the Idol of Knowledge, the investigation team confirmed that the 'traits' contained in the Fireball Technique were the 'Amplification and Explosion' that belonged to the 'Eternal Night' organization, one of the nine trait source forces. Finally, the team is still working hard to analyze the composition of that beam. ”

"Hmm.... And what about Rolda? ”

"He's still in a coma... But there's one thing that's strange....."

"Huh?"

"The power of the Ultimate Fireball is so powerful that Radhoe's body is so carbonized that he can't see a human form, but... This Rolda... There is not the slightest sign of burning on the body....."

"Magic? Still is... Resistance? ”

"It's not clear...."

"What rank is he now?"

"It's still the third order of apprenticeship."

After a moment of silence, the old voice rang out.

"Take me to him!"

......

The dim candle flame flickered in the healing chamber with old bronze walls.

The edge of the window is an orange magic band that secures the gap between the window frame and the wall.

The curtains were not closed, and when you looked out from the inside, you could see a thick gray mist churning.

Suddenly.

"Click".

The doorknob turned down a third of a circle, and then "creaked".

The door was opened from the outside.

A white-robed wizard and a gray-robed wizard followed him closely.

Looking at Rolda, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and pale, the white-robed wizard Assad said softly.

"He's Rolda? The guy who worked as an apprentice for three years on Kirishima? ”

Lane followed Assad's gaze to Rolla, then nodded.

"Yes, sir."

Assad groaned for a moment, then raised his wand.

“@¥#……! #”

With a muffled whisper, the top of the wand suddenly lit up with an emerald green light, and various particles of light suddenly appeared in the surrounding void, and condensed towards the top of the wand at an extremely fast speed.

Assad waved his wand, and the energy mass detached from the wand and poured into Rolda's body in the blink of an eye.

And Lien, who had been watching Assad's movements, was extremely surprised when he saw this scene.

"My lord, use Nature's Prayer on him... Isn't it a bit .....?"

"No...."

Before Dawn could finish, Assad interrupted him.

"Every wizard on Kirishima is extremely important, you don't despise him because he is only an apprentice third order now, you must know that every big tree is just a grass until it grows."

There was a look of shame on Ryne's face.

"My lord, I see!"

"But... He hasn't cleared his suspicion yet, huh? ”

Hearing this, Assad turned around and raised his wand in anger and tapped it on the top of Riehn's head.

“.... Teacher... What are you doing!? ”

Listening to Lien's rather aggrieved tone, Assad was a little angry and said: "Lien! Since you are still the monthly investigator of the Investigation Institute, do you think that there are any spies that can be hidden under my gaze? ”

"Since I used the precious Nature's Prayer on him, it means that he is fine!"

At the end, Assad said in a quiet tone.

"Besides, don't you want to figure it out..... Why is this person able to use the Ultimate Fireball Technique... Unscathed? ”

......

With the influx of nature's prayers, Rolda's complexion also returned to ruddy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A moment later.

Rolla groaned, then slowly opened her eyes.

"It's... I... Where is it? ”

Rolda only felt an incomparably headache now, in the sea of consciousness, there were many vague and hazy memory fragments flashing wildly, trying to mobilize mental power to perceive and sort out, but as soon as he mobilized his spiritual power, his own sea of consciousness shook violently, and it was mapped to the outside world, that is, Rolda snorted, and his face became pale again.

"Rolda! Don't mobilize your mental power now! ”

Seeing Rolda's movements, Rien hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

"Huh?"

Rolda heard the voice, and then looked up.

"White-robed wizard...."

As if sensing Rolda's shock and dazedness, Dawn stepped forward and looked at Rolda.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Li En, and I'm the deputy leader of Team 7 of the Investigation Institute. This is one of the members of the Board of Directors of the Investigation Institute, the white-robed wizard Lord Assad. ”

“.....”

Rolla pursed her lips, as if she was momentarily overwhelmed.

"Rolda!"

Rien said to Rolda with a serious face.

"Now that you've regained consciousness, start questioning now!"

"Are you ready?"

Rolla looked dazed: What is the situation that requires me to be questioned? Also, why do I wake up in a strange place and see the people at the institute as soon as I wake up?

With a wave of his hand, a crow with shiny black hair and sharp eyes appeared in the air.

"Did you see Radhoe, the man, last night?"

As he spoke, Rien reached out and drew a portrait in front of Rolda.

Rolda looked at the figure in front of him, and a fragment of the sea of consciousness suddenly jumped out.

"Last night.... He seems to have come looking for me..."

Looking at Rolda's hesitant tone, Lane frowned, and then glanced at the black crow, who seemed to have been instructed, flapped his wings, and fell in front of Rolda's body from mid-air, tilting his head to stare at Rolda.

"Why did Radhoe look for you last night?"

The fragments of memories like disorderly entwined silk threads were recombined, and Rolda felt the constantly sequential images in the sea of consciousness, and said softly.

"It's because... My former best friend... Fu Benming. ”

Hearing this, Lien's brows directly condensed.

"Have you and Fu Benming met in the last half a year? Can you get in touch? ”

Ronda listened to Lane's suddenly awe-inspiring tone, and then said.

"Nope."

Seeing that the black crow didn't move, the corners of Lien's twisted eyebrows loosened a little, and he said again.

"Why were you escorted by Radhoe last night? Because of what? ”

Hearing this question, Rolda's sea of consciousness suddenly shook, and the next moment, Rolda, who was sorting out his memories, was shocked in his heart.

"It's an omen!"

"A wizard's omen cannot be a warning without warning. At the moment, although I still have no memory and can't remember what happened last night, the reason for this inquiry must be not in my favor. ”

At the same time, Rolda was shocked, and then suddenly realized that the attention of the two wizards in front of him was all firmly focused on him, and it seemed that as long as he showed the slightest abnormality, he would definitely fall into their eyes!

"What the hell happened last night!"

In the midst of lightning, Rolda has already made a decision!

"Now my memory fragments are slowly combing, once the combing is completed, the memories of yesterday will definitely be recalled, and I can't hide the questioning anyway!"

"So... The only way out of this situation now is..."

The next moment, Rolda suddenly forcibly separated and merged the memory fragments he was combing, and the familiar strong tearing sensation and incomparable pain erupted again.

Quite simply, Rolla fainted again.
