Chapter 65: Contact
Under the pale light of the street lamp, several people gathered on the grass next to the art building.
The guards, dressed in iron and blue uniforms, were tall men and reported to Cruise François the results of their investigations before he arrived. However, the scene had been partially destroyed by the approaching students before they arrived, and they didn't seem to have much valuable information.
This conclusion did not please Cruise François, who frowned and waved his hand, allowing the guards who had finished reporting to return to work and continue their investigation. And he himself took the few people who accompanied him to patrol the scene back and forth within the area surrounded by obstacles.
On the other side of the road, Curt, who was slowly approaching, was naturally the guard in charge of the guard.
"Stop, who are you?"
He was stopped by a middle-aged man in his mid-thirties, standing straight under the street lamp, letting the white light shine on the side of his face, which lacked facial expression. Although he is not armed on the outside, his standing posture gives the impression of being watertight.
"I'm just the parent of an apprentice in your academy. Curt stood at the guard's request, and said with a somewhat lazy expression, "Can you please send a person in charge to tell me what is going on here?" ”
As he said this, he could clearly feel that the guard was watching him with a distrustful gaze. His gaze swept from his face to the box he was carrying, especially for a few moments. But Curt kept a steady smile on his face.
However, the guard clearly did not believe Curt's words, and he beckoned his companions to look at Curt, and took out a notebook on which he recorded something.
"Parents, can you please explain which apprentice's parents exactly, and we may need a little time to verify...... And this box you are holding, can it be opened if it is convenient for us to check the contents? Of course, this is just a routine, and we will not withhold any property of ordinary citizens. ”
His suspicions were completely unconcealed, and before Curt had finished telling him who he was, he was in a hurry to ask down. There is still a tendency to take him away for questioning. Curt dared to say that if he refused the so-called "routine", he would surely be taken away for dubious reasons.
But that's enough.
The sound of the calm night can be transmitted very clearly. It was only a few dozen steps from here to where Cruise François was located, so that the slightest commotion would attract the attention of those people, so that the people who would relieve him would soon be sent to the door.
"Mr. Leinster, why are you still in the academy at this time?"
Sure enough, after a small commotion on Taturis's side, who was standing not far away, he whispered a few words to Cruise François beside him and hurried over. When he saw that it was Curt who had been stopped by the guards for questioning, his doubts were almost overflowing.
"I was about to leave, but when I was about to get on the regular train, I suddenly saw an unnatural flash of light in this direction, so I had to rush over to take a look. Curt looked at Taturis, who looked puzzled, and pretended to be serious, and said, "You know, my family Lizzie has always been frail and sickly. Now boarding in the dormitory of her college, it wouldn't be good if something happened to her old illness. ”
It's not a lie—rather, it's all the truth, except for the second half of the motive. After sending Oscar back to the dormitory, he was about to go back, but when he saw the regular train heading towards the platform, a flash of light suddenly appeared in this direction. Feeling that something was going on, he decisively gave up the last regular train and rushed to the direction where Yaoguang came from.
Slightly skipping the process of watching the excitement and nonsense with Liqi, who is the culprit, the so-called "facts" he advocates are indeed inseparable from the truth.
Taturis didn't think much of it, he nodded heavily: "Ahhhh Although it didn't cause very serious damage, after all, it was also an accident next to the person closest to him. I think that's the last thing people who need to be on the battlefield want to see. ”
The man's muscular body was matched with a deep voice, and his well-organized words and deeds made people feel like a veteran. It would have been even more appropriate if he had now changed into a military uniform that accompanied the military sorcerers instead of a formal suit that framed his muscles.
Director Taturis...... Do you know this gentleman?"
Seeing that Taturis, who was a high-ranking member of the academy, naturally chatted with Curt, the guard who was still interrogating Curt as a suspicious person just now, and the second monk was puzzled. He stood beside Taturis and whispered, motioning for him to look at the box in Curt's hand.
Taturis had obviously noticed the box held by Curt for a long time, but he didn't say anything, just turned his head and introduced Curt's identity to the guard: "Well, this gentleman is Curt Leinster, a mercenary under the Mercenary Management Office, not a suspicious person. ”
After listening to Taturis's introduction, the guard still didn't trust Curt very much, and he squinted his eyes, observing the young man in front of him who looked sickly but calmly. But seeing the expression on the boss's face that he didn't want him to delve too deep, he could only step aside without saying a word.
"If you're interested, I can show you it. Curt handed the white box to Taturis, "I think you've heard about Asquith these days, right? ”
Catrice Academy is the upper echelon of the staffing agency, and Asquith, the professional magicians registered in the staffing process, are basically graduates of the Castrice Academy or close associates. Just as the mercenary management office, which is one of the eyes and ears of the government, collects the information provided by the mercenaries, the information collected by the talent dispatch agency in the course of its work will eventually be collected into the hands of the upper management of the academy.
After destroying the over-inflated monster that night, the remaining fragments were encapsulated by the garrison in several parts. With the exception of the box containing the sample of the "Unexplained Toxin" requested directly from Grostide, which was given to the Mercenary Management by the Garrison as part of the coordinated investigation, Asquith, who was also involved in the investigation, naturally had the exact same sample box in his possession.
Asquith, a fancy sissy who calls himself a "noble sorcerer" all day long, is quite obedient to the command of the upper management of the staffing agency. The samples that were in his hands should have been communicated to the upper echelons of the academy responsible for managing the dispatch of talents.
Although the box now contained several copies of the "antidote" that Lizzie had concocted herself, he only needed to let Taturis, who should have seen the samples, know that the box was filled with samples that emitted a suffocating stench.
Sure enough, when he heard the verse "I heard it from Asquith" coming out of Curt's mouth, Taturis's brow furrowed. After hearing him say that these were "a little sample of Grostide gave to the mercenary administration", his expression stiffened visibly.
"No, no, don't open it in this place...... I don't want to smell that damn smell once. He shook his hand violently and said in a disgusted tone, "Seriously, don't remind me of those damn 'samples'...... It was definitely the most evil necromancy product I've ever seen, all parts made to make people unhappy. ”
Curt hadn't forgotten how terrible the psychological stench was - just the smell of Cheng dù wafting through the air during a fight with monsters was unbearable for many people, not to mention people like Taturis, who had investigated the samples up close.
He chuckled twice and put the box back in its place: "I think so, the smell of writing 'sample' is so unforgettable, the analysts in the mercenary management office almost fainted. Sure enough, half-baked people just can't do it, and the analysis of these spell creations must rely on professional magicians. ”
Then he turned around and pointed to the land near the art building and said, "So what's going on here...... I guess as professionals should have come to a conclusion, right?"
I didn't take a closer look at the crowd just now, but after getting closer, Curt realized that the grass was quite badly damaged. Under the spread of the blast, the surrounding vegetation was uprooted, and even a "trench" was dug up to the ankles on the attack track.
Even if the spell released by Liqi was not intended to attack, it was calculated based on the destruction process left on the scene...... If someone had been standing in the direction of the torrent, he would have been pushed more than ten meters away like the vegetation that stayed on the line.
Curt's inquiry made him look embarrassed, and his eyes wandered for an excuse: "No, this...... We are still investigating, because the information gathered is not very sufficient...... The traces of the spell weaving and the resulting effect are not very close to each other. Well, if there is any progress in the next few days, I will tell you the result in a private capacity, so ...... today."
"No, I don't think that's necessary for the time being. Curt suddenly laughed, "Did you say?" Lord Wind of the Twelve, who had been listening to us. ”
As Taturis arrived, he felt an unusual movement in the air around him. It was as if they had been manipulated by some special technique and began to flow around him in a wonderful way, conveying the message of this place to somewhere far away.
"Hmph, you're pretty sharp as a mercenary. There was a sneer in the wind, and you didn't have to think to know who was speaking, "Let him come, Taturis, I happen to have a question for him." ”
