Jerome asked gently, "Duke Isaac, why do you think so?" ”

"It's speculation based on a few bits and pieces of clues." The father spread his hands and said frankly.

"My daughter Priscilla studied the parchment book left by Zeni, and she found that there was a secret room behind the stone wall of the parchment library, but we could not open it, because the library was formerly a temple built by the ancient Fryns, and the whole building formed a huge magic circle, known as 'Kehira's Guardian', and the ancient blessing magic protected every stone of the temple."

"Maintaining such a huge magic array requires a lot of mana, and according to our understanding of magic, only an artifact can act as a powerful and lasting source of magic power. Dean Stone, you should be well aware that the great Emperor Keith has visited Bromin many times, and spent his life searching for the legendary artifact Bloodthirsty Demon Bow, but to no avail. Maybe it's tucked away in some corner of the temple. ”

Jerome and Stone were both moved, and even Lisa turned her head to look at her father in surprise.

"Fressen has been a tireless researcher of the Keyes dynasty since he entered Bromin's Academy, especially regarding the Emperor's search for the Bloodthirsty Bow. Learning magic was not his main purpose, and with his aptitude, it would be better to stay in Aiuddin. So I can't help but speculate that he came to Bromin for the Bloodthirsty Bow. ”

Stone shouted, "It's all your words, it's pure speculation!" Can you believe such absurd words? ”

"Even the great Emperor Keith believed this, so what reason do we have to doubt it? What's more, there is no impermeable wall in the world, Dean Stone, in order to find the missing Fresen as soon as possible, we must be honest with each other. There was something in his father's words, and he was implying that Fressen had been sent by Stone to Bromin's search for the Bloodthirsty Bow.

"This ...... How is this possible......" Cold sweat trickled down Shi Stone's forehead, and something seemed to suddenly burst deep in his heart. In a trance, a terrible thought broke into his mind, and he jumped to his feet, clenched his fists, and cried out in a heart-rending voice: "You were using Fresen to find the Bloodthirsty Bow, and after he found the artifact, you brutally killed him, lying about his mysterious disappearance—isn't that so?" ”

His eyes were bloodshot, his voice was hoarse, and his expression was hideous and terrifying.

Father shook his head, his tone revealing disappointment, "Dean Stone, you only need to think a little more to understand that we will not offend the island of Aiudin for the sake of the Bloodthirsty Demon Bow, Aiudin was and will be a powerful ally of Bromin. ”

Jerome Bukalem put his hand on his nephew's shoulder and said gently, "Stone, I can assure you that Duke Isaac and Dean Kozmo are both upright nobles, and they will never do this. ”

Stone didn't refute him, his expression looked embarrassed and weak.

Jerome continued, "But did Fresen really come to Bromin for the Bloodthirsty Bow? ”

"There is no such thing!" Stone screamed like he had been struck by lightning.

The father said lightly: "I also heard about it recently, and the news is from the island of Aiudin. Maybe someone with ulterior motives is sowing discord......"

Jerome hurriedly diverted the subject, "So you are gathered here to open the secret room behind the stone wall and look for clues?" ”

The father bowed slightly, a smile on his face.

I was completely confused. I can't tell which of what he says is true and what is a lie. Throughout, his father doesn't mention "Red Pupils", and he seems to classify Zeny and Fresen as companions with ulterior motives, and their real purpose in coming to Bromin's Academy is to find the Bloodthirsty Bow. This doesn't match my assumptions, but who can prove that Zeny's target must be the red pupil?

My faith was wavering—maybe I had made a fatal mistake, and when I spoke eloquently, my father was unimpressed, and he patiently waited for me to find my mistake. My father did this a lot.

But one thing is for sure, Jerome isn't entirely on Stone's side.
