Red Pupil Section 25 Stone
The light of the fire made everyone's faces cloudy. They are like clowns wearing masks, hiding the turbulent waves in their hearts.
There was a commotion outside the library, and it seemed that someone had forcibly broken in, and the tutor and the handyman couldn't stop it, but they didn't dare to do it, and even cowered when they were reprimanded.
A moment later, the silence was broken by the sound of messy footsteps outside the stacks. A rude voice shouted, "Kozmo! Kozmo! Damn, where the fuck are you hiding? β
The dean gasped: "In the middle of the night, who else will break into the library?" Could it be ......?"
"It's the voice of Dean Stone of Ayuddin Academyβhe couldn't have come at the right time!" Father said with a wry smile.
Before the words fell, a burly middle-aged man rushed in, grabbed Kozmo's chest, and roared almost madly: "My son, where is my son Fresson?" β
"I'm sorry, he's missing." Kozmo replied calmly. He broke the knot of Stone Stone's white fingers, pretended to be calm, straightened out his magic robe, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the spit off his face. But I noticed that his fingers were trembling slightly.
"Bastard!" Kozmo's reaction angered Stone, who cursed and raised his fist in the air.
His father grabbed his wrist in time, "Dean Stone, we are all sorry for such an accident. But impulsiveness doesn't help, we should sit down and put it together. β
Stone struggled hard, but his father's hand remained unmoved like an iron hoop. He laughed angrily, "Duke Isaac, look at Kozmo, my son has disappeared in the Bromin Academy, he is like no one, he is understated, and he does not have to bear any responsibility!" β
"You misunderstood Kozmo, Fresen was his proudest student, and he was sadder than anyone else!"
Kozmo patted his father on the shoulder and motioned for him to let go.
Stone was stunned for a moment, slowly withdrew his fist, looked at his father, and then at Kozmo, and said angrily: "No matter what, you have to give me an explanation." Fresen, he, he wants to see people in life and ...... in death," he said, his eyes reddening.
"Dean Stone, something happened on Bromin Island, and I will take responsibility." The father accentuated his tone. His gaze crossed over to Stone and landed on a man and a woman outside the library, greeting them with a slight bow.
The woman was a fair-skinned noblewoman, who looked timid and weak, and her eyebrows were deeply locked. The man was a dying old man, with a long and slender body, a white beard, a navy blue cloak, and a knotted magic wand in his hand.
The two were Lisa Roita, the wife of Dean Stone, and Jerome Bukalem, his uncle
Kozmo said gently, "Dean Stone, you are anxious, I can understand your feelings. If it were me, I'm afraid the emotions would be even more exciting. However, as Duke Isaac said, impulsiveness does not help, we might as well calm down and analyze the whole thing in its ins and outs, and maybe we can find something out of it. β
This suggestion is reasonable. Jerome coughed and interjected slowly, "Duke Isaac and Dean Kozmo are right, Stone, calm down and listen to others' opinions. β
As the royal magic advisor of the Summer Yang Palace, Jerome realized that it was a bit reckless to break into the Bromin Academy and rush to ask the guilt, and Kozmo was obviously prepared, with Duke Isaac behind him, and the group seemed to be alone.
Stone's aggressive momentum softened, and in such a situation, he had no choice but to accept Kozmo's offer.
I was secretly relieved. In any case, Fresen disappeared at Bromin College, and the dean was inescapable of it, and his father's support did not change this fact. Stone rests on the wrath of the thunder, which is a good thing for others and for himself. It is my sincere hope that Dean Kozmo and Bromin College will survive this crisis.
"Dean Stone, Lady Lisa, Lord Jerome, I have been commissioned by Dean Kozmo to formally investigate the disappearance of Fresen, and I already have some eyebrows." Father didn't go around the bend and cut straight to the point.
Stone was moved, he raised his eyebrows frequently, and asked eagerly, "What is the result?" β
Fresen wasn't the only one who went missing, along with his mentor Zeni, who taught Principles of Magic. According to eyewitnesses, they entered the library after the bedtime bell rang, with Zeny in front and Fresen behind, about a few minutes apart, after which no one saw them. β
Stone muttered impatiently, "What does Zeni have to do with me!" β
"Zeini's full name is Zeni Joyton, son of Baron Marouf."
Stone's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Lisa, obviously, he was aware of the marriage contract that the Joyton family and the Roita family had made. However, Lisa was calm, and when she heard Zeny's name, her expression and posture did not change.
She is a character with a city, and she is more difficult to figure out than the moody stone.
"You've heard of him?" Jerome also noticed Stone's anomaly. Obviously, he didn't know what Zeney and Lisa were going to do.
Stone nodded, "Duke Isaac, please continue." β
My father gave a brief account of Zeny's background, and I felt he was speaking it to Jerome.
Jerome said: "So Zeny is very suspicious? β
The father did not answer directly, he skillfully changed the subject. "The two missing people have a lot in common. They are all inextricably linked to the island of Aiudin. They spend a lot of time in the library, often reading through the night, and rarely go back to their dorms to rest. They were both avid history buffs, with different emphases, with Zeny studying the history of Guflynn and Fresen ...... He studied the history of the Keith dynasty. β
Keys Dynasty! My heart was beating wildly. Dean Kozmo had told me that Fresen didn't care about his own accomplishments, and that he worked tirelessly on history and legendsβI had overlooked such an obvious clue that I took for granted the history of Guflin!
While I was following Zeny's footsteps in the parchment library, my father was not far away, following Fresen in the same way.
"You mean to say......" Jerome's eyes lit up.
"Well, here's what I think β Zeny and Fresen are like two sides of a coin, inside and outside the mirror, Gemini that mirror each other, studying history with similar purposes, and who are both missing for similar reasons. They were all looking for something, at first like two parallel lines, but then, they converged. β
Stone scoffed. Comparing Fresen to Zeny felt it was an insult.
