I worked all night in the parchment library, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes, so I wrapped myself in a blanket and slept in the corner. To be on the safe side, I turned the heirloom ring on my index finger to the palm of my hand and held it tightly in my hand. I don't know how long I slept, and I felt a figure dangling in a daze, and I woke up suddenly and hurriedly opened my eyes.

The morning light shone in through the small skylight, and I put my hand on my forehead to see his face. It was Dino, who was standing behind his desk with an oiled paper bag under his arm, smiling, staring at me for a long time.

I instinctively pulled up the blanket to my chest, a little flustered. How long has that guy been here? Does he just keep looking at me like that? What was he thinking?

Dino coughed, "You're awake." What about Winnie? Isn't she here to stay with you? ”

"She hadn't slept all night, she was tired and scared, and she was always worried that the library would eat her, so I asked her to go back to sleep first." The tension slowly relaxed, and I straightened my messy hair slightly, clasped my knees in my hands, and looked up at him.

"Why don't you go back and rest?"

"Dean Stone of Audin Academy has learned that Fresen has disappeared unexpectedly and is heading to Bromin Island, and I must unravel the mystery before he arrives, otherwise there will be a big mess at Bromin Academy."

"Stone? Dean of Ayuddin Academy...... Is it powerful? ”

"You don't know the pattern of Flynn Country. Stone's older brother, Duke Samanche Bukalem, is the lord of Audin and the chief director of the Magical Society, and although there are some conflicts between the brothers, his elbows are always turned in. ”

The conflict between Stone and Samanche involves the most famous scandal in Aiudin, and as a lady, I can't say more, so I casually diverted the topic, "You've been here for a long time?" ”

"I just came, you happened to be resting, and I didn't dare to wake you up." Dino walked around the desk and put the oiled paper bag at my feet with his extended arm, "Well, I brought you something to eat, bread and bacon." There is also a chowder soup in the kitchen today, it tastes very good, and I will ask for a pot later, and scoop some for you. ”

"Thanks, no need, Winnie will prepare." I looked at the oil-paper packet and thought with pity that for Dino, bread, bacon and chowder were rare delicacy. He had no idea what was on the table of the aristocracy.

Dino tentatively asked, "Priscilla, is there a big man coming to Bromin's house?" ”

Why don't you just ask? He's testing something, this guy! I didn't feel annoyed for no reason, so I patiently asked, "Why do you think so?" ”

"The sixth floor of the minaret has been thoroughly cleaned, a lot of rubbish has been removed, and the rooms have been replaced with new bedding and sheets. There were more than a dozen guards in the academy, one by one questioning the mentors and apprentices. The kitchen also boiled a chowder soup in advance, and I heard that Dean Kozmo took special care of it. So I guess ......"

Dino was going around the corner, and I interrupted him directly, "If there really is a big man here, who do you think it will be?" ”

"Could it be your father, Duke Isaac, lord of Bromin?"

"You already have the answer in your heart, and you asked me on purpose, right? Dino, I don't like you like this. We are partners and should be honest with each other! "I couldn't help but expose his hypocrisy.

"Well, I just wanted to make sure, to be honest, I didn't see the Duke." Dino was a little embarrassed, he paused for a moment, saw that I had a straight face, and said, "This, Miss Priscilla, if there is nothing to do, I will leave." ”

"I'm just here and leaving, am I just making you hate like that?" Before I knew it, I was starting to play tricks.

"No...... There is no such thing. ”

"Sit down, I have something to say to you."

Dino sat down slowly, his gaze falling on my chest, pausing for a moment, and then hurriedly moving away.

"I've heard that Dean Kozmo personally taught you magic, is that the case?"

This time, he honestly confessed, "Yes, I'm learning Eagle Eye." I went to the minaret just now to receive instruction, but I was kicked out by the dean. He seems to be receiving some important guest, probably your father. ”

It's my father again—he's always trying to get the conversation to him, and I don't like him. "What did he teach you?"

"Very esoteric magic, meditation, gathering magic and storing it in the body."

I almost laughed, this is common knowledge that anyone who knows even a little about magic knows, and in Dino's mouth, it becomes esoteric magic!

Holding back a laugh, I continued, "Very well, so did you do it?" ”

Dino sighed regretfully, "Dean Kozmo is not very satisfied with me, I lack a foundation, unlike those noble children, who have been trained as magicians since childhood......"

"Magic has always been the preserve of the aristocracy and requires talent and nurturing. However, diligence can make up for shortcomings, as long as you work hard, there will always be something to gain. If you have any difficulties, you can ask me, I still have some experience in magic. ”

As soon as the words came out, I regretted it. To the commoners, the self-esteem, condescending, slightly condescending and mocking tone, is the most annoying thing about the aristocracy.

Sure enough, Dino's face was a little ugly, and these words must have made him very uncomfortable to hear. But is it necessary to maintain a fragile self-esteem in front of me? He should know that I didn't mean to stab him!

We all have some emotions. The ensuing dialogue gradually evolved into a one-sided question. I was getting angrier and more angry and aggressive, and Dino was polite and cold, wearing a mask, and never showing his true thoughts, which made me most angry!

Winnie's arrival calmed us down. Dino took the opportunity to get up and take his leave, patted his clothes, and left the parchment library without looking back.

"What's wrong with him? Really, it's like a tiger is chasing him! Even Winnie felt strange.

"Let him go!" I was distraught and took a deep breath, "I don't know what to do, what about him!" ”

Winnie stuck out her tongue and pretended she hadn't heard anything.

I rubbed my brow and forced myself to concentrate. There was still a lot of parchment left, and I picked one up, ran my fingers through the gilded letters, and whispered, "The Temple of the Goddess Kethera......"

When I noticed the author's full name, I was stunned for a moment, and an inexplicable throbbing suddenly surged in my heart.
