I didn't leave the library until the bedtime bell rang.

I trotted all the way back to my dorm, climbed over the fence, and climbed through the window to the second-floor hallway—all of which fell into Priscilla's eyes, but was bumped into by Alfred and Casper in the dorm.

I stood there with an embarrassed expression.

Alfred was sipping hot coffee and smiling, and he seemed to appreciate my quick movements.

"What the hell is Zeny doing? He never tutors students alone! Casper was a little agitated, and he didn't want to hide the blows he had received during the day.

I scratched my head and said honestly, "Mentor Zeni asked me to do him a favor and asked me not to divulge my secrets. ”

"I can totally imagine the look on his face when he seduces you!" Alfred put down his coffee cup, put his fingers together, and said, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "So, what conditions did he offer?" ”

"He said I could get an A in my magic principles."

"This is good news for you, although the principles of magic are basic courses, they involve a lot of Guflin language, and it is difficult to get credits without a solid language foundation."

Casper urged, "Hell! Dino, don't sell it, let's talk about it! ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Zeny probably thinks I have thick arms and a lot of strength, and wants my help to pry open the stone wall in the corner of the parchment stack......"

I went on and on about the whole process, and finally attributed the failure to the weak crowbar.

Alfred glanced at Casper, "It's not about crowbars, libraries are protected by magic, and breaking stone walls with crowbars is like tickling, you can't do it with brute force alone." ”

He was vague and concealed a lot of key things, and I could tell from Casper's eyes.

Caspar cracked his mouth and muttered with a smile, "What the hell is that Zeni guy trying to do?" ”

"Tomorrow we'll go to the library and take a look, and if nothing else, he's supposed to be looking for something."

"Tomorrow...... Do you want me to come along? I interjected.

"No need, the basic courses at Bromin Academy are very heavy, and I don't want you to pull down too much." Alfred patted me on the shoulder perfunctorily and said kindly, "Have some supper, Adrian specially prepared for you, rest early, don't delay tomorrow's morning exercise." ”

Between Casper and me, he chose the former, and it was clear that Casper was the first choice in terms of ability and level of trust. But I'll change his mind soon.

After they left the dormitory, Adrian slipped in through the doorway, smiled at me flatteringly, and said, "I've made a pot of coffee, would you like to try it?" It is a tribute dedicated to the royal family of Oxskin, which is very rare. ”

"Okay, the royal family's tribute will definitely not be bad."

He poured two cups of coffee quickly, the aroma was exactly the same as Alfred's just drink, refreshing, and before he could reach his mouth, his spirits were lifted.

We sat at the table, sipping our rich coffee and chatting without saying a word. Adrian was a little apprehensive, he must have thought I was a great man, on a secret mission, and Alfred had arranged for me to stay with him in order to hide it.

It would be good for me to keep him thinking that way.

As the minutes ticked by, Adrian's pupils gradually became distracted, his arms hung limply, and his coffee cup shook a few times, and he fell to the floor with a "clang".

I shifted my chair to a more comfortable position and brought my ear close to his mouth.

Adrian's eyes were straight and his expression was a little glazed, and he began to babble on, quickly and slurred, like an olive in his mouth.

The poor man fell into the evil spirit, and talked to himself until late at night, when his voice became lower and lower, and at last he could not hold it anymore, and fell asleep on the table. When he woke up the next day, he wouldn't remember what had been said.

Adrian leaked a lot of intel, especially about Alfred and Casper, which I knew more than any of the Carben spies. Everything in the future is under control.

Before going to bed, I thought, "The potion works very well, and the hot coffee won't destroy the active ingredients, but unfortunately there is not much left, and if you meet that person tomorrow, you will have to ask him for more." ”
