Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 91 Allen's Speculation

Rare frowned when he heard this, and he vaguely sensed that something seemed to be wrong, but he just couldn't figure out what was wrong: "But...... What does this have to do with his family?"

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Alan asked rhetorically, "How do you think the survivors in the school recognized his identity as a student at that time?"

"Uh......" Rare scratched his head, "you mean, through his tie-in?"

"That's right. Alan saw that he finally wanted to open his mind, so he continued to guide him: "Then here's the problem...... He was still wearing his shirt when he committed crimes at school, so where did his robe come from?"

"Who knows...... "Riel began to be confused again, "maybe he stole it or stole it when he was on the run?"

It's not impossible, but it's very unlikely. Alan shook his head.

"Why?"

Alan found that it would take a while to explain the matter to Riel, so he simply sat down on the bench he used to sit on, and slowly explained, "Didn't you notice? The only cases that happened that night were the Crivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry tragedy and the Darker couple murder, and they were all the work of Briskus...... Do you know what that means?"

"What?" Rare shook his head in confusion.

"First of all, these two locations are crucial...... One is located to the southeast of the city of Krivari, and the other is opposite to the northwest. It is impossible to get there from the school in such a short period of time unless you enter through the south gate and then go out through the west or north gate and go straight through the city...... But if it were you, who committed such a big crime at school and wanted to escape, would you risk being found and walk through Krivari City?"

"Uh...... Probably...... No......" Riel asked.

"That's right, if it were me, I would choose to bypass the city and go directly into the nearby forest, which would be more secluded and less easy to spot. Without waiting for Riel to answer, Alan continued, "And what does it mean that such a big thing happened in two places so far apart, but in the meantime it was as calm as ever, and not even a single theft was reported?"

"Uh...... Maybe these two things are too serious, so the security department ignores such a small matter?" Riel had a flash of inspiration.

"No way. Allen, however, decisively rejects Riel's idea, "Based on my analysis of Burestu's character, he should be a murderer who kills people without blinking an eye and has no mercy. It would have been easy for him to snatch or steal a robe while he was on the run, but would it have been peaceful? No, he would have done something as inhumane as these two cases...... But there was no ...... And it is precisely because these two events are so serious that in order to trace the clues of Bresto, during this period, and even the events that occurred before and after this time, will be investigated...... You've also heard that that night, and for some time afterward, the Department of Security sent everyone to track down his whereabouts, but there was no mention of any other cases involving him that night. ”

"That'...... What does that mean?"

This shows that after he came out of school, he went to Crivari City, and then from Crivary City, until he met the Dalkes and the Storey brothers, and he fled in a hurry all the way. Alan lowered his head, analyzing little by little, "And I surmise that he must have had somewhere to settle down during his escape...... Because the road was calm, it shows that his purpose is very clear, that is, to return to Krivari City as soon as possible. So why did he go back at the risk of being discovered? I think it was because he thought he had to go back...... Then there is only one possibility - there is something important he must take, or something important he must meet...... Even, his home is in Krivari. Allen's brow furrowed slightly, but his expression became more serious, "And he has a family...... If nothing else, it should be his father. ”

"His father!?" Riel was startled at hearing this conclusion, "How do you know in such detail?"

"It was Storey's transcript that told me. Alan explained unhurriedly, "As mentioned in his transcript, the robe didn't cover his calves. Although a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child is not as tall as an adult, he should be close to an adult. He wore a robe that reached near the knees, and wasn't that exactly the kind of robe we see in adults reaching only to the thighs?, so I surmised that he had at least one family, and most likely his father. ”

It dawned on Riel.

"But here's the problem. Alan frowned again, "Where is his family?"

"Could it be that after learning about his crimes, they ran away with him in order to shield him?" Riel also tried to speculate along with Allen's train of thought.

However, it was denied by Allen: "Unlikely." ”

"Why?"

"You forgot? The transcript is clearly written, he is the only one in the carriage, if you want to escape, then they should be together, right?"

"Yes to ......," Riel scratched his head, "Where's all that?"

"I don't know...... Now that's all I can guess: at about ten o'clock that night, after committing a crime in the school, Brisku fled all the way to the city of Krivari, he first returned home, told his family what had happened, and the family, who realized the seriousness of the problem, in order to cover him, found him a robe and told him to continue to escape, but for some unknown reason, his family did not join him, but chose to flee separately. After leaving the city, Burestu committed another murder less than twenty kilometers northwest of the city, and has not been heard from since. ”

Riel nodded understandingly.

Alan added: "This is the only way to explain why there are all kinds of indications that he has a family, but there is no news about it." ”

"Uh...... But then again...... Why are you so obsessed with finding his family?" Rare was puzzled by how long Eren had struggled with this issue.

"First of all, we don't know what strange power this Burestus has, anyway, the people who tracked down his whereabouts died mysteriously, and since he has the ability to commit such a big case, it should be easy for him to kill one or two people, so it is extremely dangerous to track him down directly, and you may have died before you even know it......"

Riel listened a little creepy.

"Secondly, it is likely that his family knows the ins and outs of this matter, so it is very likely that they will know his whereabouts and even his abilities...... If you can get this information, you can organize people to arrest them after you are fully prepared, and the success rate is obviously much higher, right?"

"Hmm...... I get it. ”

"Uh...... That's probably what it means......"

"Hmm...... There is some truth to it. Riel nodded in agreement, "Speaking of his abilities, though...... Do you know about demagoguery?"

"Bewitched birds, I've only seen them in the illustrated book, but I know the details about them. Alan glanced at Riel a little strangely, and said, "Bewitching birds are extremely dangerous bird species, they are one of the few species that can produce magical power, and the call has magic power, which can make people hallucinate when they hear it, and it can make people unconscious at least and kill them at worst, seriously affecting the daily life of human beings. Now, except for a very few wild ones, only the Misty Forest is allowed to keep this bird in captivity, and it is used exclusively to guard the prisoners, and no prisoner has ever escaped from the Misty Forest. ”

"Well, it's because of the peculiar abilities of these birds that I was very impressed with them. ”

"Why did you suddenly ask about it?"

"I was just going to ask you ......," Riel asked tentatively, "don't you think it's alike?" Burrestu and the Bewitcher...... I suspect that Bérestos is using them for it. ”

"It's rare that you can connect them together. Alan smiled and said, "But it's impossible." Because according to the description in the transcript, there was no sound of birds chirping at that time. What's more, the two Storey brothers are still from the Ministry of Security, but they often have to escort prisoners into the Misty Forest, and if they use the Bewitching Bird to make a ghost, they can't be unaware. ”

"Hmm...... It seems like...... Reasonable. Another suspicion was cleared.

"Now in addition to the person who assisted Bérestus in escaping, there is another person who is also missing...... It was one of the Storey brothers. Alan listened to Riel's speculation and continued, "From the transcript, we know that one of their brothers is named Roy Storey. If the one who lives in Beya is one of the Storey brothers, then is he Roy, and if he is, then where is his brother? Why did he run to Beya?"

After asking these questions, Alan lowered his head again and began to ponder.

The clock had struck eight o'clock, and it was already completely dark.

"Let's go back to our room first, eh...... I feel like I need to go to the morning class again tomorrow......" Riel said as he stood up, his tone not complaining but revealing full of unwillingness: "The scores were all taken by Alyssa, and I didn't get any ......"

"Okay. Although the purpose is to get points, since he is willing to take the initiative to go to class, Alan can't say anything.

After eight o'clock there were almost no people on the road.

The two of them walked quickly out of the Four Seasons Garden, and saw from a distance that old Seapheus was already standing at the door.

"Hey, this old guy is really responsible. Riel whispered.

However, he was about to enter the door, but was suddenly stopped by Allen: "Wait a minute...... I still have something to ask him. With that, he walked over to Old Seaphus.

"Good evening, Siphus. Alan slowly approached Old Seapheus and asked politely, "Excuse me, can I take up a little of your time?"

Old Seapheus slowly turned his head and stared at Alan with slightly squinted eyes for a long time before opening his mouth: "May I ask what your Excellency is doing?"
