Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Eye Chapter 47 The Plan Begins
Frey was stunned at first, as if he wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth a few times, he still didn't say anything.
"It's 'thank you'. Alan immediately guessed what he was trying to say. It's just that because of his self-esteem, he can't say it directly.
"It seems that sometimes too much self-esteem is a problem. Thinking of this, Alan couldn't help but laugh, "It's even worse than Riel." ”
"That'...... Well, without further ado, let's plan what we're going to do......" Probably discovering that his mind was seen through by Allen, Frey stammered a little rarely, and hurriedly said.
"Hmm. ”
Since they were already familiar with each other, how capable of Frey Alan had already seen, and how much help Alan could provide him, he also knew how much help Alan could provide him, so it only took about half an hour for the two of them to finish discussing.
It's not a complicated plan. Since there was a secret passage to the valley in the dungeon, and Frey had the key to the dungeon, he first found the secret passage, and then, as his father Hector had done before, cast a spell around there, scout Mr. Winslow's location, and then choose to follow him or sneak in while he was away. Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, and other plans can be made if Riel and others can help with it.
However, Alan didn't want Riel to get involved, firstly, this was Frey's family matter, and there was no need for others to take this risk, and secondly, Riel's reckless personality made him a little relieved, the opponent was such a cunning person, even compared to Frost, he was as good as Frost, and the slightest mistake could kill him. Alyssa, on the other hand, can be trusted, not only because she is more cautious than Riel, but also because the matter may involve Arne Burresto.
Having made up his mind, Eren decided to just tell Alyssa about it, while Cynthia left Frey to communicate.
"By the way, there's one more thing I'm really concerned about......" Frey said abruptly as he ate dinner.
"What?" asked Allen.
"Hmm...... It's about the magic I used inadvertently that day, which caused the landslide......" Frey frowned, a little distracted, as if he didn't know how to describe it.
"It's okay, I know you didn't mean to. Alan reassured, "And Professor Stubone has already explained to the students that this matter is over." ”
"Hmm......" Frey nodded, then added, "But what makes me care more is the magic book......"
As soon as Alan heard this, he remembered that Frey's state that day was really abnormal, a bit like Cynthia's time, but it seemed to be much more serious. If it weren't for Frey, he would have almost forgotten to ask.
"What's on that book?" asked Allen.
"It's the earth elemental magic I'm best at. ”
"Nothing else?" asked Alan again.
"No...... At least not the page I flipped over. Frey nodded, "Most of them are blank pages, so I remember exactly what was written on them." ”
"That's interesting...... Alan said, biting his lip and pointing to his right wrist, "but as far as I know, there must be a lot of other kinds of magic out there...... For example, the 'Elven Contract', this magic is the stuff on it. ”
"I just remembered that you had seen it before, so I wanted to ask if you knew more about it. Frey said.
"It's a pity......" Alan let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly: "Although it has helped us a lot, we don't actually know anything about it...... Cynthia had tried to find it in the Revolving Book House, but there was not even there. We, like you, have only one thing to remember about it is - strange. ”
"Well, it's weird indeed...... It's not just a little ......" Frey's brow furrowed, looking a little palpitating, "It felt weird when I saw it, my brain was still awake, but I couldn't look away......"
Hearing this description, Alan was also worried, and he felt the same way when he first saw this book.
"What puzzled me even more was that when I touched it, I suddenly felt like my whole body was no longer under my control, and my fingers began to turn the page involuntarily, and then I began to chant incantations......" Frey said as he reflected on his feelings, "and another image appeared before my eyes......"
"Another picture?" Alan was stunned, he had never heard Cynthia say this.
"Yes, it's kind of like it, but I'm sure it's a different picture...... "because the mountain is much higher and the vegetation is so lush...... Under the influence of the magic I used, it collapsed in an instant, like a hot spring mountain...... No, it could be faster and more thorough......"
Alan looked at him stunned, completely unsure of what was going on.
"I tried desperately to tell myself that it wasn't true, to stop, but to no avail. Frey was still recalling, "I looked like I was fighting someone...... It wasn't very clear because of the ghosting I saw in reality, and I only saw a large, blurry black shadow flashing in front of my eyes, crushed by the crumbling boulder......"
At this point Frey stopped, and sat here with Allen, silent.
After a long time, Alan opened his mouth first: "Don't think too much about this book, we don't know when and where it will appear next time." We don't have time to waste on it right now. ”
"Hmm. Frey nodded in agreement, "Then let's start tomorrow and change our plans if anyone else is willing to help us." ”
After the two of them had finished their discussions, they went back to their rooms.
The next day in class, Alan told Alyssa about it, and as soon as she heard that it might be related to Burestu, she immediately agreed to Alan's request.
Cynthia wasn't interested in it, but when Frey mentioned that Alan would also be acting with them, she changed her attitude and joined the action.
At dinner, the four of them had a good discussion, discussing all kinds of unexpected situations that might arise and how they would deal with them.
Originally, Alan had no confidence, because he himself knew that if there was really a head-on conflict, he wouldn't even have the slightest ability to fight back. Although Frey is very good, the opponent is a veteran magician after all, and it is still dangerous without knowing the nature of the enemy's magic and how he fights. But now with the help of Alyssa and Cynthia, the situation is completely different, and no matter how bad they are, they can resist one or two, and then buy them time to escape.
And they considered all the situations as much as possible, and listed them in order of probability, and carefully analyzed them, which made Alan feel a lot more relieved, at least he was really full of confidence now, even if he had to face Negris Winslow at that time, he felt that he had a few odds of winning.
