Russell has a way?

Suddenly, everyone's eyes in the living room fell on Russell.

"I also happen to have a friend who is good at divination, maybe he can find something. I've heard that divination requires a medium, Mr. Arctic Wolf, can you lend me this safe for a day? Russell said lightly.

Russell also had a friend who was good at divination? The five members of the research club looked at Russell in surprise.

In their cognition, although Russell's performance is very good, he is only a student who has just entered the Higher Academy, and he should not be familiar with other astrological and numerology students in the Higher Academy.

Moreover, several other astrology and numerology students in the higher academy are all third-year students, and they are basically at the same level as Heimdall at the level of divination and prophecy, at most a little stronger.

Could it be some master diviner outside the academy? Several members of the research club suddenly had a certain conjecture, but did not ask too much.

"Of course you can, of course you can, take it away. You can come back whenever you want. I won't need this safe for the time being, anyway. ”

The Arctic Wolf looked at Russell with a smile on his face, knowing that the freshman who knew him well only asked for his opinion out of politeness, and did not really give him the right to choose.

Russell put the safe in his dimensional pocket, and changed the subject:

"That's right, Mr. Arctic Wolf. The House Star Tournament is about to begin. Are you sure of your two teammates? ”

The arctic wolf shook as if it had been struck by lightning.

yes, yes, there's that!

I almost forgot about this!

The corners of the Arctic wolf's mouth twitched, and his face turned slightly blue.

He is not even an extraordinary person now, he is completely an ordinary person, it is impossible for him to participate in a big competition of this level, right?

Even if he still has enough awakening potions to recover to second-year strength, he can only be cannon fodder in this kind of genius-level competition!

But if you don't participate, it will attract the suspicion of others!

Why can't I contact Miss Thorn Bird after this time? If it weren't for the presence of everyone, the Arctic wolves would have wanted to roll on the ground.

"Uh...... I haven't decided on my teammates yet. My own brother has just entered the Higher School and may ...... You'll probably want to team up with me, right? The Arctic wolf replied hesitantly.

As soon as he answered, he realized that the situation was worse than he had imagined.

It's bad, and Bai has also come to the High Court.

If he finds out that my brother is in vain, it will be miserable!

Russell said in a non-wavering tone:

"Since we haven't decided on a final teammate, you can think about me a little."

Teaming up with the Arctic wolves is really no choice.

Otherwise, he may not even be eligible to participate!

"Okay, since Russell has plans to participate, I will take you into consideration."

The arctic wolf maintained his persona, smiling, and at the same time desperately hinting to Russell with his eyes, "As long as you speak, I will listen."

You're wearing sunglasses, and I can't see your eyes...... Russell secretly scolded.

After a few more conversations, they said goodbye to the Arctic Wolf, left the garden attached to the ornate mansion, and disappeared at the end of the road in the lodgings.

……

Seeing that Russell and the five members of the research club had left, the tall and sturdy giant bear with an elegant and handsome face walked out of the guest bedroom:

"Arctic wolf, I just remembered something. Is there more than just the Tablet of Destiny stored in your safe?

"I remember the two of us putting the slate in the safe together, and there was obviously something else in it. But now everything in the safe is gone. ”

What? Am I missing anything else? The Arctic Wolf turned his head and was about to question the giant bear when his heart suddenly tightened.

"Yes, yes. There wasn't just that slate in the safe. ”

The arctic wolf suddenly felt numb in his back, and a chill rushed through his spinal cord.

"What the hell is in there?" Seeing the Arctic wolf's mouth wide open and its pupils glazed, the giant bear immediately realized that something was wrong.

The thief was probably coming for something else!

"Scrolls of Knowledge......" Arctic Wolf said, "Scrolls of Knowledge for the third and fourth years of the Transfiguration and Transformation Department. ”

"Those two scrolls, two extremely precious scrolls of knowledge that are considered secrets of the Academy, have been stolen by thieves!"

In the living room, the two fell silent, and at the same time realized the gravity of the situation.

"How did you get those two scrolls of knowledge out of the office? The level of secrecy of the third and fourth grade knowledge scrolls is extremely high. As required, they must be absorbed in person and are never allowed to be taken away. The bear hurriedly asked, but could probably estimate the answer.

"By the power of Miss Thornbird, of course. When I was just promoted to the third grade and later to the fourth grade, she helped hypnotize the teachers who were in charge of supervising my absorption of the scrolls of knowledge, distorting their minds and making them think that I had absorbed them. The Arctic Wolf replied as a matter of course.

"With my spiritual level, I definitely can't absorb the knowledge scrolls of the third and fourth grades. Otherwise, you will go crazy at the least, and your brain will explode on the spot! Arctic Wolf added.

The bear had a gloomy face, and was not surprised by this answer.

For the Arctic wolf, who obviously only had the strength of the second grade, the knowledge scroll of the third and fourth grades was definitely not absorbed, and it must exist somewhere.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be stored in the safe like this, and now it's been stolen!

"Didn't you give those two scrolls to Miss?" The bear asked.

"Leave it to Miss Thornbird. After studying it for a while, she said that she couldn't use it for the time being, and threw it to me again, saying that one day I would go up on the spiritual level, maybe I would be able to absorb them. The Arctic Wolf replied with an innocent face.

The giant bear let out a long sigh and lowered his head slightly:

"This matter is more troublesome than we thought, and the identity of the thief may not be ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that we can't reach Miss right now, this is an important thing that must be reported immediately. ”

"I don't understand too much, Giant Bear, what do you mean when you say that the identity of a thief is not ordinary?" The Arctic wolf scratches its head wrapped in white hair.

The bear was silent and did not answer.

……

Time goes back to last night.

In the Arctic Wolf's mansion, in the dark night, the Arctic wolf's purring serves as the background sound.

In front of a completely open safe where the protective magic has temporarily failed.

Two thieves, one of whom was a masked figure in a cloak, but not tall; The other was a white kitten with a cunning glint in its eyes.

The two thieves look at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

"You're here to steal too? We're bumping together. The two thieves did not communicate, but expressed the same meaning with their eyes and movements.

After a brief moment of embarrassment and silence, the two thieves took what they wanted.

The masked man took the quaint mottled stone slab and stuffed it into his cloak.

The white kitten had to pick up two knowledge scrolls in his mouth, only to see a flash of ghostly light, and both scrolls disappeared, which should have been stored in a storage space.

The two thieves waved goodbye and walked away through the window.

Behind it, the thunderous snoring of the Arctic wolf.

……

Russell took the safe and went to Duncan's villa.

"Duncan, could you please divination, where is the missing thing in this safe?"

Duncan sat cross-legged on the floor of the living room, took out the golden basin he had used before from his army-green dimensional schoolbag, filled it with clear water like a spring with a spell, looked at the safe in front of him, and was about to start divination.

"Wait a minute. Russell, I don't feel right! Duncan's movements stopped abruptly, "Although we know each other very well, I am the principal of the academy, and it seems that I should not help you work for free." ”

On Russell's mobile phone screen, the wind chimes shaking his snow-white hair complained: "It's bad, Mr. Principal has become smarter, how will he get wool in the future?" ”

"Russell, if you think about it, someone else wants to entrust the principal to do something, and you also need to become the champion of the House Star Competition. My help can be used as a reward for the ultimate prize, and I almost did it for you for free. Duncan, who almost worked as a day worker, was indignant.

"You shouldn't think so, Mr. Headmaster. Normally, the Academy Stars Tournament champion will ask you to do something that will be much more difficult than it is right now. It's just a small favor and can't be compared. ”

Russell began to analyze it with his own logic:

"And more importantly. I suspect that the theft of the Tablet of Destiny involves the Old Order that had infiltrated the Academy. The stakes are high, and you should have been concerned about ...... Mr. Chancellor."

Russell also gave his reasons for guessing.

Duncan thought for a moment, felt that Russell was right, and turned his head to look at the golden basin on the floor again.

The little boy carved in pink raised his arms and crossed the golden water basin to draw a mysterious symbol.

"Let me be clear first, divination and prophecy may not provide accurate results, even for the world's number one prophet master." Duncan accentuated the phrase "the world's number one master of prophecy":

Sometimes, the results of divination and prophecy can be one-sided, misleading, and in rare cases simply wrong, and therefore cannot be used as core evidence in court.

"So, please don't be superstitious about the results of divination!"

Russell nodded slightly:

"No problem, I'll be mentally prepared."

Duncan asked a question in front of the golden basin filled with a clear spring, using the safe as a medium for divination:

"Where can I find the items that were once stored in this safe but were stolen last night?"

A circle of ripples spreads out, revealing a specific pattern on the surface of the water.

It was a red-roofed house with a chimney and a small, but ornate private garden. From the point of view of the system, it is obviously a student villa in the higher school.

This is...... Russell frowned slightly, quickly went through the appearance of the villas in the high courtyard in his mind, and immediately remembered who the owner of the villa was-

One of only 4 fourth-year students in the Higher Academy, Joker.

The fourth-grader's villa was prettier and more striking than the third-grader's, so Russell immediately remembered it.

"Okay, I'll help you here, and I won't be involved in the rest." Duncan stretched, and the clear water in the golden basin disappeared suddenly, and he put the basin into his army-green school bag.

"Thank you, Duncan." Russell politely thanked him and put the safe back into his pocket.

It was only at this time that Russell thought of a very serious question.

Even if the thief can't open the safe temporarily, he can just steal the entire safe!

Russell got up and walked to the door, opened the door, and was about to leave Duncan's villa, when he saw two figures, a man and a woman, walking in his direction in the courtyard outside the door.

Are you visiting Duncan's guests? Russell's mind moved, and then he saw the appearance of the two clearly.

The girl was dressed in an off-white dress, and it was the member of the Society of Everything who had had a lot of conflicts with Russell Duncan before, the head of the United Clinic, the New Moon.

Instead of participating in the Forest Hunting Competition, the Creation and Summoning student was one of the seven students who entered the Higher Academy this year by submitting an academic report to qualify for the third year and enter the Higher Academy.

Now on the chest of the crescent moon is no longer the original bronze badge, but a silver badge that is exceptionally bright in the moonlight.

At the girl's side, there was a tall, handsome and mighty man with pale blond hair, and the gold badge on his chest directly stated his prominent status.

Russell recognized at a glance the man's face, which had appeared many times on the academy's official website -

Fourth-year power, Radiance, the cousin of the new moon!

What are these two people doing here? Russell's brow furrowed slightly.

Before he and Duncan, there were a lot of conflicts with Xinyue, this wave wouldn't be to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, right?

At this time, Duncan also came to the door, and looked at the two people who walked slowly with Russell.

I saw this pair of cousins and sisters, domineering.

The elder brother was brilliant, heroic and unsmiling, and his pale blonde hair stood out in the nightlight and the bright moon; Sister Crescent, with a smirk on the corner of her mouth.

"Long time no see, Duncan." Crescent lowered her head and beckoned to Duncan at the door frame, with a playful attitude in her tone, and looked at Russell next to Duncan:

"Russell, you're here too, that's just right, so I don't have to look for you twice."

Russell did not smile and responded calmly:

"What's the matter? Miss Crescent, Mr. Hui Yao. ”

Crescent Moon didn't answer, just chuckled, and tugged at the arm of her cousin next to her, pointing at Russell and Duncan:

"It's the two of them! The last time I was hospitalized, it was this dwarf Duncan! And the Russell who used strange magic to sow discord and cause us to fight with the White Wolf Club! ”

Hui Yao looked at the two teenagers in front of him, his expression indifferent:

"You're Russell and Duncan. Since you have a conflict with my cousin, then I, as a cousin, can't come forward. ”

I'm really looking for trouble...... Russell's hands in his pockets moved slightly, bowed slightly, gathered spiritual energy, and put on a posture that could be faced at any time.

At the Higher Institute, there are occasional exchanges between students.

Russell is confident that he and Duncan have joined forces, and there are few people in the world who will be their opponents!

And Duncan was even more eager to try, rolled up his sleeves, and looked impatient.

It's a chance to pretend to be forced!

"I'm so sorry my cousin has caused you trouble!" Hui Yao bowed deeply ninety degrees to Russell and Duncan, looking respectful and sincere.

Yes? Duncan was disappointed, with a look of loss.

"Wait a minute, cousin, what are you doing?" Crescent Moon was shocked and overwhelmed.

"Of course we're here to apologize, otherwise what are we doing here?" Radiance straightened up again, and replied in a tone that was taken for granted.
