Old Seapheus raised his head again after hearing this question, his eyes opened slightly, and he stared at Alan for a long time, and said slowly: "It turned out to be you." ”

"What is me?" Alan wondered.

"I don't know how you got in, but I give you a word of advice...... Mr. Alan Pattner, please do not go again. Old Seaphus did not habitually bow his head this time, but looked at Alan and said word by word.

"Where? Alan asked.

"Dungeon. Sieverus lowered his voice, his expression looking inexplicably serious, "Please stay away from there in the future." ”

Alan was a little surprised, and just wanted to ask old Siphus how he knew, but old Siphus had already spoken: "Little Siphus, who went to deliver dinner last night, came back to tell me that Doug looked excited, and I thought he remembered something, so I went to see him in person...... But he was still the same, his memory was confused, and he was often confused, and I asked him for a long time before I heard that someone had been here during the day. ”

"Yes...... The door at the top of the stairs was unlocked, and we didn't know it was also a forbidden place, so we went down. Alan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply confessed it.

"Oh, that's interesting, as far as I know, there should be no one else with the key to that door except me and Mr. Winslow......" Old Seaphus squinted at Alan suspiciously. But after a few seconds, he was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened, and he said, "Wait......"

"Did you think of something?" asked Allen.

But old Seaphus did not answer Allen's question, but asked rhetorically, "Mr. Pattner, are you entrusted by someone, or are you out of pure curiosity?"

"Uh...... I'm just curious why anyone is locked up in that kind of place...... Who is he? Has he committed a great sin?"

"Who he is has nothing to do with you. Please don't ask about this anymore. Old Sieverus said.

"Why?"

"For no reason, do as I say, and you can spend three years here in peace. ”

"Is this dangerous?"

"It's not just dangerous...... It could kill you. ”

"Is it that serious?" Alan startled. Although he also thought that this could be dangerous, he did not expect it to come to such a point.

"It's not something you can handle. "At least not yet." ”

Alan lowered his head and didn't speak.

"I haven't told Mr. Winslow about it yet. Old Seaphus saw that Alan did not speak, and then said, "You should know what the consequences would be if you let him know that you have been to the dungeon, right?"

"Hmm. Alan replied softly. He bit his lip, and he also remembered that a serious violation of discipline would deduct all the points at once...... But even so, he didn't want to give up.

The two were silent for a while.

"You don't know what the Winslow family is. Old Seapheus sighed and said, "If you continue to track it down, you will really have to worry about your life...... It's not just you, it's me, it's your two companions. ”

Allen's heart tightened when he heard this. Old Seaphus was right, even if he didn't think about himself, he should think for Rare and Alyssa, it would be unfair to them to be involved in such a dangerous matter just to satisfy their own curiosity.

"Let's make a deal. Old Seaphus said suddenly, "I can say nothing about your visits to the dungeon, including Mr. Winslow...... But you must also promise me that whoever asks you what is in the dungeon will be kept tight, and that you will not ask anything about it henceforth. ”

"That'...... All right. Alan thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed. Although he didn't know why Old Seaphus didn't want people to know that there were people in the dungeon, he could at least make sure they didn't get points deducted.

"Very well, then it's settled. Old Seapheus nodded.

"But please answer me......" Alan asked again, "is your master Negris Winslow?"

"So to speak. Old Seapheus bowed his head.

"So to speak?" asked Allen.

"If you're talking about Seapheus's current owner, it's Mr. Negris Winslow. ”

"The current master, that is, you have had other masters before?"

"That's it, I've told you everything I can tell you. ”

Alan thought for a moment, took out a few gold coins from his pocket, handed them to Old Sieverus, and said, "This is the last question. ”

Old Siphus was stunned for a moment when he saw the gold coin, and stood motionless for a long time before slowly stretching out his hand.

Seeing that old Seaphus stretched out his hand, Alan breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "Sure enough, the gold coin still works...... I didn't have to go through so much trouble if I knew it. ”

But what Old Seapheus did next surprised Allen. I saw that he didn't take the gold coin after reaching out his hand, but slowly helped Alan hold his hand, and then pushed it back firmly.

"No matter how much time has passed, Sieverus will never break his oath. Old Siphus said, holding Alan's hand.

Unexpectedly, the dwarf, who was born with a love of money, refused the gold coin in order to keep it a secret!

"Further down that isn't your place to be. Old Siphus let go of his hand and turned away, "Don't forget what you promised me. ”

"Okay......" Allen saw that Old Seapheus was resolute, so he had to give up.

"Please be sure to return the spare keys in time. Old Seaphus opened the door, turned back to remind Allen, and went back to his little room.

"Okay......" Alan closed the door and watched old Seapheus walk away.

As he walked to the fourth floor, he pondered every word old Seapheus had just said.

Although he didn't hear the answer he wanted, after talking for so long, Alan was not completely unrewarded: first, the person locked up in the dungeon was dangerous, or something related to him was dangerous. 2. Old Siphus had two masters, or rather, more than one.

But if you think about it, there are even more things that confuse Allen: Old Seapheus's owner is Negris Winslow, and Old Seapheus already knows that they have been to the dungeon, but he doesn't report it to his master. Why?

"Hey, why have you been around for so long, I want to go down to find you!" Riel's voice rang in Alan's ears.

Eren realized that he had reached the fourth floor, and he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that Riel had already walked up to him.

"Uh...... Sorry, I've been talking to old Seapheus for a little longer. Alan said as he opened the door.

"What did you both say, I think you're so engrossed?"

"Hmm...... I'll take a sip of water, and you give the key to old Seapheus, he's waiting. Alan said, "I'll talk slowly when you get back." ”

"Good!" Riel picked up the key and ran out.

Unlike Alan, Riel was quick and was back in less than five minutes.

"Tell me what you all talked about?" Riel seemed intrigued, as things that interested Eren were usually special.

"Hmm...... You have to remember not to talk about these things to anyone. Alan was a little hesitant to tell Riel about this, after all, he had promised Old Seaphus to keep his mouth shut about the others. But when I thought that Riel had also been to the dungeon with him and had met Doug, I didn't have any scruples.

"Hmm. Riel saw that Allen's expression was very serious, and he nodded seriously.

"It's about Doug. Allen said.

"What? with that psychopath?" called Ariel.

"Shhhh......h Listen to me. Alan covered his mouth, "Seapheus already knows we've been to the dungeon, and his master is Negris Winslow. ”

"What!?" Riel got up from bed in fright when he heard the news, "Aren't we going to be deducted points!"

"Don't be nervous. Alan motioned for Riel to sit down, "The strange thing is that he didn't tell Mr. Winslow about this. ”

"What's the matter, aren't they master servants?" Rare was a little surprised.

"That's right. On the condition that he wouldn't reveal that we had been to the dungeon, he told us to keep silent about Doug's affairs in the dungeon. ”

"Why?"

"I don't know, I just know that Doug's identity is important...... And there is one thing that is important about him...... But it's also dangerous. ”

"Dangerous?"

"Well, old Siphus advised me not to meddle in my business, saying that if I didn't do it, I would die because of it. ”

"Is it that serious! It's at school, under the nose of the Krivari Magic Management Society!"

"But I don't think he's lying to me...... Because he also reminded me to stay away from the Winslows. ”

"Away from the Winslows?"

"That's right, didn't I tell you before that the Winslows might have something to do with the disappearance of the Stone family...... Now it seems that their family really has a big problem. ”

"No, you heard me right, isn't it a blatant betrayal that his master is the head of the Winslow family, and he advised you to stay away from the Winslow family?"

"Hmm...... I don't think the relationship between him and Mr. Winslow is any ordinary master-servant, and there must be something else to why he said that. Alan habitually bit his lip, "And from what he said, it seems that he used to have other masters." ”

"The other masters?"

Yes, his answer at the time was strange...... I asked him if Mr. Winslow was his master, and instead of answering 'yes' with great certainty, he said, 'so to speak'...... It doesn't sound like he wants Mr. Winslow to be his master, but for some particular reason that Mr. Winslow has become his master, or that he has to do it out of necessity. Alan frowned and said, "But the book says that dwarfs are naturally greedy and selfish, and generally do not get close to people easily, but only establish a master-servant relationship with people they trust. ”

"So it seems that the owner of Doug's mouth is also Mr. Winslow?"

"No, I don't feel like it......" Alan shook his head.

"Why?"

"Do you remember what Doug was subjected to?"

"You mean...... Forbidden Spell?"

"That's right. Alan glanced at Riel and said, "But old Sieverus doesn't have it." ”
