Chapter Seventy-One: An Unexpected Secret
The room was silent, and only the sound of Chubby's gentle breathing could be heard. Leo is becoming more and more envious of this guy, in its world, as long as he can eat and drink enough, and then fall asleep beautifully, it seems that he will never be free of troubles.
In fact, whether to fight for this first place, Leo doesn't care too much in his heart, he can get the best naturally, and even if he can't get it, it won't bring any obstacles to his future development. Moreover, he also understands the truth of Mu Xiu Yulin.
However, Alice clearly expressed the desire for him to win the first place, and the threat of being threatened like this still made Leo feel very unhappy.
"But I don't know who they are, and it's a bit awkward. Leo thought bitterly, and began to sort out his experiences during this period of time, to see if he could find anything.
However, after all, he didn't know much about the various forces of Gaswell, and after thinking about it for a long time, although there were some ambiguous guesses, he still couldn't make any specific judgments after all.
"Alice must be informed to see what she means. With this thought, Leo no longer hesitated, and immediately picked up a pen and paper and began to write.
It was a dormitory for the members of the Magi's Society, so he wasn't worried about someone being able to spy on him. In an environment protected by the magic array, and an area with such a high concentration of mages, there are high-level mages, and even Sanctuary and legendary mages, not to mention that there is basically no possibility of monitoring success, and this kind of thing is equivalent to provoking the entire magic system, even if it is a super giant, they will never dare to do this.
Soon, a letter outlining the situation was written, and Leo was worried again. In the Magi's dormitory, you won't be watched, but if you go out, you're completely uncertain. If they find out that they are going to report to Alice, will they just kill them?
"How can you send a letter out?" Leo touched his chin and used his brain. Think about it.
It just so happened that Chubby turned over, he had an idea, clapped his hands and said, "I can't send the letter myself, just let it go." An animal shouldn't attract much attention. ”
Thinking of this, Leo no longer hesitated, walked directly to the chubby side of the Nightblade Leopard form, and said softly: "You have slept for so long, it is time to move, see that your waist circumference has increased several times." ”
Chubby was woken up by him. When he opened his eyes, he said blankly, "Activity?"
This guy has a very good advantage, that is, he doesn't have any gas to get up, which makes Leo feel very satisfied, so he smiled and said, "Yes, move around, lose weight." ”
Chubby shook his head and got up, stretched again, and said, "Chubby doesn't like to move." I don't want to lose weight either, Black Horn said that the fatter the ogre, the more powerful the ogre. ”
"Well, that makes sense. Leo was speechless. Of course, he knew that body shape was an important indicator of the strength of the ogre, so he had to change his way and said, "Chubby, I want to ask you for a favor." How?"
Nightblade Leopard nodded vigorously: "Help! Chubby is willing to help Leo!"
"Great. Leo happily touched the other party's furry head, shook the letter in front of Chubby's eyes, and continued, "I want you to send this to a place." Give it to one person. ”
"Chubby, no problem!" said the Nightblade Leopard grinning, excited to help Leo.
"Of course you're fine. Leo smiled, closed his eyes, and connected the soul between the two of them, relaying the route to Evra's Palace, and added: "Remember, you must give this letter to a blue-haired woman, but if you encounter danger, protect yourself first." ”
Chubby was silent for a while, as if he was remembering something, and quickly said, "Don't worry, Leo, Chubby remembers." ”
Although the ogre's intelligence is not high, after all, it is an intelligent creature, Leo didn't believe that it couldn't even do this, so he stuffed the letter into a small pocket and carefully tied it around the other party's neck: "Then let's go, you sneak to the roof of the building first, and then turn into a raven form and fly directly over." “
............
Time passed slowly, and an hour passed quickly, and Chubby still didn't come back, which made Leo a little worried. looked at the book in his hand, which was less than half a page, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. But it was useless to worry about it, so he had to forcibly suppress the mess and try to focus on the books.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Leo immediately ejected from the sofa, and then he felt very puzzled, if Chubby came back, how could he knock on the door?
"Who?" he asked in a low voice, and at the same time prepared a means to run away if there was the slightest mistake, as long as he could reach the hall of the Magicha, he would be safe.
"It's me. The man outside the door replied softly.
"Alice, why is she here?" Leo froze, and after a moment remembered to open the door.
Outside the door, Alice in a long black dress was there, and Chubby was leaning on her legs, looking very comfortable. This makes Leo's recognition of Alice one step higher, Chubby has a keen sense of nature, and the person it likes can't be a good person.
"I really envy you, you have such a good little friend. Alice touched Chubby's head dotingly, and Chubby made a gourd sound of enjoyment very uncompetitively.
"Friend, this guy is a friend?" Leo glared at Chubby, deciding not to discuss this issue with Alice, and asked directly, "Believe you saw it?"
"See, otherwise why would I come all the way here. By the way, don't keep you, I don't feel comfortable listening to you. Alice replied casually, and seeing Leo's vigilant expression, she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, the person who can follow me in Gaswell has not yet been born." ”
As the two became more and more familiar, Leo immediately changed his name and said strangely, "But how did you get here?"
Alice grinned and pulled out a crystal card, and said proudly, "I'm also a member of the Magic Council, so of course I can enter here." ”
"Uh-huh, you're amazing, you're also a member of the Magior. Leo gave a very unnutritious "compliment", welcomed the other party into the room, closed the door again, and pulled the topic back from the new: "Do you have any judgment on the content of the letter?"
Alice shook her head as she leaned comfortably back on the couch, "Not at all, what about you?"
"What kind of attitude is this? Without your old man, I would have been famous and ranked first in the exam. How can I do such a thing?" Leo replied with a very calm face, "I think so, since they don't want me to get first, are they trying to manipulate the exam to make someone else get first?"
Alice muttered, "It's very likely that you're saying that. ”
Leo was a little incomprehensible: "Is the first place really that important?"
Alice knew something about this, and immediately replied: "Depending on the situation, sometimes it is very important, and sometimes it is not always necessary. ”
"What do you mean?" Leo felt more and more confused.
Alice wrapped her fingers around her beautiful blue hair. "I mean, the prize for first place is different every time, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not useful," he explained. ”
Leo thought for a moment and quickly made a guess: "Did they know the reward this time, and then they were bound to get it?"
Unexpectedly, Alice categorically denied it: "Impossible, this kind of thing is not in the joint examination outline, every time it is decided by the president of the Magire Council on a temporary basis, it all depends on his mood." It is impossible for anyone to know in advance. ”
Such an answer made Leo's brows almost entangled: "Then I don't understand." Since they want to manipulate the exam, they will definitely need to spend a lot of financial resources, and among the people who take the exam. There are also many people from extremely high backgrounds, can they make back their money by doing this?"
"It's really weird. Alice gave an approving expression, and soon felt that something was not quite right: "Wiki was the biggest favorite for first place before, but he can never be number one." And you ......"
Before Alice could finish speaking, Leo was already surprised: "Why is it impossible for Wiki?"
"Because...... Because ......" Alice noticed that she was not paying attention for a moment, and actually slipped her mouth. Immediately stumbled.
"When is it, tell me quickly. This matter is related to his own net worth and life, how can Leo not be in a hurry, and his tone has become a little stiffer.
Alice didn't care about this, biting her thin delicate lips, feeling that Leo was likely to have more contact with Wells in the future after all, and there was no need to hide it, so she sighed: "Because I once heard Wells secretly say that Wiki won't even be admitted to the top 100, so he can legitimately choose Brewster School of Magic and Wizardry." ”
Seeing that Leo still didn't understand, she continued to explain: "Brewster's Academy of Magic is in the Central District, only a day's journey from Gaswell, so it won't delay the ...... between him and his brother That one...... And the art he loves. ”
"Wiki would do that...... The son of a duke, with excellent talent, is really unexpected......" Leo immediately remembered the strange attitude of the wiki towards the exam when he attended the art assembly yesterday, but he always felt that there was something wrong with this part, and whispered: "Duke...... Unexpected......"
"What's so unexpected about the Duke?" Alice's aqua blue eyes were full of doubt.
"It's really unexpected!" Leo suddenly flashed in his mind, and hurriedly rummaged through the cabinets to find something.
Alice looked at it puzzled, and soon saw that he had found a booklet, which was "Candidate Odds".
She was about to ask, but Leo preemptively said, "Are there many people who like to gamble?"
Alice was stunned for a moment, then replied with a light smile: "It's a lot, I like to bet a few times to play when I have nothing to do." ”
"Aren't you afraid to accompany you, aren't you afraid that your family will be unhappy?" Leo showed a slightly funny look, and while the other party didn't notice, he quickly straightened his face again.
"It's just fun, it's rich, it's willful. Alice pursed her lips and smiled, then made a look of displeasure, and asked in a coquettish voice, "Hey, what do you mean by sparing the old man?
"Hehe, I'll explain it to you. Leo didn't dare to sell it anymore, and immediately turned the first few pages of "Candidate Odds" and said, "You come and see this." (To be continued......)
