"Of course, of course, this time, my original intention was to challenge the problems of the Dark Forest, and I was fully prepared."

……

"Confidence? This one still exists, but considering that no one in our Explorers' Guild has yet been able to solve this problem, I don't dare to give you a definite answer.

"Avoid talking too much, wait until I actually observe."

……

"These bandages? Belch...... You can think of it as a kind of performance art, which is very popular on the federal side. ”

"As for why you brought your family with ......"

The woodpecker that sprang out of the castle plunged headlong into the forest outside the academy, but the few people at the door didn't pay any attention to it.

The bandaged man who followed Andy all the way was exchanging pleasantries with a gray-haired and emaciated woman.

His face has been revealed now, and he is a middle-aged man with deep facial features and a very temperamental temperament.

The handsome appearance is indeed somewhat similar to Andy, but when he speaks, he is oily and smooth, and he looks a little exaggerated.

"All in all, it is an honor to come to your college to take on the challenge, and if I can succeed, it will definitely be the most dazzling deed of my career."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Hall, for being able to come to St. Mary's College and lend a helping hand to us poor prisoners."

The thin woman he was talking to was the dean here, and at the moment the hand of the man holding the bandage was full of smiles and looked very enthusiastic.

"In the meantime, I'll send an assistant to my husband's side, so that I don't have to be disturbed, and if I need anything, I can let the assistant come to me at any time—oh, yes."

As if thinking of something, she asked casually.

"What has Master Fran been up to lately? Why hasn't I seen him in the newspapers for a long time? ”

"Teacher, he went to an ancient ruin."

The bandage man had a gentle smile on his face, and said without changing his face: "It is related to a deep-water city that the Far Eastern civilization once opened up at the bottom of the sea, and it is very valuable to explore." ”

"I see."

"I'm really looking forward to the master's new discoveries......"

During the conversation, the family was welcomed to the college, and the dean even personally arranged accommodation for several people, and then nagged for a while before reluctantly saying goodbye and leaving.

"If it weren't for knowing that this dean doesn't like men, I would have thought she was in love with me."

After sending the dean away and closing the door, the bandage man breathed a sigh of relief, "It is said that she is still the cousin of Duke Claire, why don't she have a ...... at all"

seemed to be wondering, but the triumphant look on his face silently revealed his inconsistency at this time.

"What are you showing off?"

The red-haired middle-aged woman glared at him when she heard this, "You are still embarrassed to laugh when you are forced to this extent by your own son?" ”

"What do you mean to be forced to this extent?"

The bandage man said in a dissatisfied tone, "If it weren't for your inexplicable cousin, Andy would have come over to call me dad a long time ago, how could he be so ignorant as he is now?" ”

"My cousin has been killed by those Imperial people, what do you want?"

The red-haired woman's emotions came as soon as she said it, and she was directly annoyed when she heard the words, "The corpses stink, you still don't understand your hatred, do you want to kill me together?" ”

"What? I didn't say that. ”

"But that's what you mean!"

"Which ear did you hear me mean that?"

"Both ears ......"

The two of them quarreled without saying a word, and the room became a mess.

The two siblings who came with them turned a blind eye to this.

"I still don't understand." My sister looked at her younger brother, who was doing the same thing, while packing her luggage.

"How did our dad know that Andy would come to this academy to study?"

"It stands to reason that no one else should know about this kind of thing except the person concerned, right?"

"Of course I was told." The bandage man who was arguing suddenly turned his head and replied.

"Not only this, but even the time Andy got off the plane, that person told him."

Because of something, they urgently need to be close to Andy now.

So two plans were made.

One is to beg for forgiveness.

The other is to come here and help Andy graduate smoothly as a sign of sincerity.

The former has the best chance of success, but has clearly failed.

At the time, he thought he had recognized the wrong person, but after some confirmation, he found out that it was not.

So I can only put my hope on the second plan.

In this regard, the bandage man has little confidence.

Although he considered himself competent in deciphering expeditions, the problems faced by St. Mary's College were ......

He had a famous explorer teacher who had secretly come to investigate the place, and then told the students with great confidence that there was no one to solve the problems of this college.

But it doesn't matter if you don't have confidence, showing sincerity in front of Andy and revealing your abilities is the real purpose-

Look, after I appeared, the dean personally ran out to receive me.

Although you are the cousin of the duke, when you get here, you are not like the little minions who are ignored?

"By the way, how come I don't know that his crazy mother has an imperial duke as a relative?"

After getting rid of his wife's entanglement, the bandaged man named Lawson Hall rethinks of this problem that bothered him so much.

……

"The Hall family has already arrived at the academy."

Inside the church not far from St. Mary's.

The young man who had pinched the Pope's feet was standing in front of an old priest at this time, with his hands behind his back, and his tone was indifferent, as if he was asking questions like a subordinate.

"It's all here."

The old man in a black priest's suit replied in a low voice, very deferential.

"However, our people found that in addition to the Hall family, there were many people who were lured over, and they seemed to want to play something on Andy."

"Eighty percent to figure out what happened to York."

The handsome brown-haired young man sneered when he heard this.

"That guy, when he left York, he didn't want to keep it secret, so he chose to take a plane, which is easy to reveal his whereabouts, which is inexplicable."

"Think that if there is a duke cousin, no one will dare to touch him?"

"It's ridiculous!"

His attitude was disdainful.

But when the old priest next to him heard this, he secretly disdained him even more.

"At least you don't dare to touch him......"

The old priest muttered to himself.

For the young man in front of him, he is very disdainful, with an extreme personality and a stupid mind.

But alas, they are the Pope's attendants.

Although they don't have the slightest priesthood, they can be suppressed honestly, and they dare not have the slightest disobedience.

It was the boy's order to bring the Hall family in the past, and the purpose was certainly not to reunite Andy's family.

Instead, I want to use this family to disgust Andy.

After all, from a single-parent family, Andy can't have a good attitude towards the father he has never met.

But this trick is just an appetizer.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the old priest clearly knew what the pope's attendant in front of him was thinking-

After Andy's relationship with his father's family eased, he started to toss that family, to abuse, and even murder!

This plan may seem exaggerated, but in fact it will not cause any consequences.

As a relative of Andy's mother's side, the Duke of Anjou could not have a good attitude towards the Hall family.

Second, with the Pope's backing, this kind of behavior that does not involve Andy's own safety will not be pursued.

Except that Andy may have a hate for it.

But after removing that duke's cousin, what ability does Andy have to fight against the Pope's attendants, or even against the Pope's will?

"His Majesty sent this young attendant who had a grudge against the Duke of Anjou, presumably in the hope that everyone would see that he did not welcome Andy's attitude......"

The old priest had even guessed this.

So in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a touch of pity for the unmasked Andy.

He was installed here by the emperor of the empire to try to meddle in the divine power, and was unceremoniously sent by the pope to prepare for some mental abuse against him.

has become a pawn in the game between the two big shots, and the young man who is said to be very talented is really miserable......

As he thought this, he didn't know that a woodpecker had fallen from the sky and landed on a tree in the forest outside the academy.

Then, with a sharp beak, he kept tapping towards a certain part of the tree trunk.

"Gain, gain, gain......"

The sound is very frequent.

Although it is not loud, it can be transmitted through the trunk of the tree to the depths of the earth, a dark place.

Then the lava spread, and the gold treasure poured like a wave.

Something underground, quietly awakened!
