Chapter 70: A Mysterious Letter
After a while, Sost returned, but it appeared that he was unaware of the episode that had taken place during the test. The two exchanged a few casual words, and then went to the restaurant in the accommodation area for lunch, and then parted.
After tossing and turning all morning, Leo felt a little tired, just enough to eat and drink, so he was ready to take a nap and wait for the afternoon to recuperate before starting the final review before the exam.
Unexpectedly, just as he climbed into bed, with a knock on the door, a man's voice came: "Mr. Minethiel, there is your letter." ”
Leo immediately recognized that this was the official messenger of the Magi's Order, but he did not want to get out of bed, so he replied, "I am too busy to open the door, so please slip the letter through the crack in the door." ”
"Okay. After a squirming sound, the postman's voice rang out again: "Mr. Minethiel, this letter seems to be of great importance. Since he often sent letters to Leo during this time, he liked this kind and polite young mage very much, so he kindly reminded him.
"Important?" said Leo.
The messenger immediately replied, "Yes, the letter is from the Evra Palace, so I think it might be more important." ”
"I see, thanks. Since it was Alice's letter, Leo had no choice but to get out of bed.
"You're so polite. The messenger replied, and the footsteps faded away.
Opening the letter, it was clear from the slightly scribbled handwriting that Alice was not very calm when she wrote the letter, but her language was as intriguing as ever, full of ancient common tones.
"Seeing the letter, I learned that Qing had achieved a score of 36 points in the comprehensive test, and I was very relieved, and I hope that the written test will make persistent efforts to win the crown, and will be able to shock the world, become famous in the world, and lay the foundation for a great cause. ”
"It's also a great way to shock the world. Make a name for yourself...... What are these words? Leo shook his head, casually putting the letter aside, and thought to himself.
Alice's meaning is obvious, that is, to encourage herself to take the first place. 、
Of course, Leo also had an idea about this, after all, no one wants to be the best, and if he really wins the first place in the country, the teacher will be very happy, maybe he can live a few more years.
However, Leo also knows that he is mature in thinking, calculation speed, and accuracy. There is also a certain advantage on the basis of theories that transcend the times. Maybe it's okay to do research and publish papers, but if it's just an exam, it's really not much sure compared to those real geniuses who have been educated since childhood and have a very solid foundation.
"The situation is not very optimistic, but it is not hopeless. Soon Leo remembered that Director Alvin had said that there would be special rewards for the top three. The heritage of the headquarters of the Council of Israel. Surely you won't fool me with some random rewards, so let's try to see if this first place is possible.
Thinking of this, a determined smile appeared on Leo's face. I decided not to take a break anymore, and tried to use the last few days to review the exam content as a whole. As an adult with a mature mind, he shouldn't lose to a group of half-grown children.
At this time, the knock on the door rang again. It was still the messenger's voice: "Mr. Minahir, there is one more letter from you, I'm sorry. I almost missed it. ”
"How can there be?" Leo put down the book he had just picked up, walked over and opened the door, and took the thick parchment envelope from the messenger's hand.
To his surprise, the envelope was weighty in his hand, and it was obvious that it contained something that was not suitable for the letter.
"This is ......" After a slight touch, Leo frowned, already guessing in his heart, and noticed that there was no handwriting left on the cover, so he asked, "Who sent it?"
"I don't know. The messenger scratched his head, feeling that the letter was a little strange, and he suddenly remembered something, and added: "I remember that it must have been sent by a child, and said that it was going to be handed over to you, and that I need to help you find the child?"
"Thank you, but don't worry, I'll take it, you go get busy. Leo shook his head relaxedly. Since the sender has chosen a child so carefully, it will definitely not leave any traces, and if he goes to investigate it again, it may cause adverse reactions.
Sending the messenger away, Leo closed the door, but did not immediately move the envelope, but put a primary energy shield on himself just in case, and then used the dragon's wrath to open the sheepskin envelope.
As expected, there was no explosion, poison gas, etc., in the envelope, but a dagger with a cold light flashed, although it looked small and delicate, Leo had no doubt that in the right hands, this thing could definitely kill himself lightly.
"Heh, it's too rough to send a dagger, why don't you send a blade or bullet?" Leo grinned, it seemed that he had been in the limelight a lot lately, and he had begun to attract resentment. Almost subconsciously, he began to expand his thoughts again: "Although there are muskets in this world, but the power is very poor, not even a bow and crossbow, maybe I can ......"
"Damn, what am I thinking......" Leo suddenly came to his senses, and at the same time realized that his heart was really getting bigger and bigger now, and he could be distracted at such a time.
With a wry smile, he made sure that the envelope was not in danger, and then walked over to take a look.
The dagger lay quietly on the table, next to a gold coin, and under it was a very ordinary white paper.
"Is it a multiple-choice question? Leo was about to reach for the white paper, but stopped again, then recited a spell, using the mage's hand to pull out the paper and float it in front of him.
No amount of caution is necessary until a qiē is clear.
On the white paper, in a very ordinary font, it was written: "Dear Mr. Leo Minethir, it is my pleasure to discuss a small deal with you. ”
"If you can relax a little bit in the upcoming exams and not get the impressive results, whether it's 100th or 50th, it's up to you. At the same time, we will provide you with a good return, such as paying for the full cost of entering the Academy of Magic. If you are not satisfied with this, you can discuss it in detail after the exam. ”
"We must mention here that if you are not willing to accept this deal, the consequences may not be so pleasant, but we believe that you are a smart person who can make the best judgment. Also, please prepare carefully for the exam and don't try to find us and don't mention this little deal to anyone, that would never be a wise thing to do, because we know you and you don't know anything about us. ”
"Finally, I wish a qiē shun lì, and of course the transaction between us. (To be continued......)
