"Oh my God......" Alan couldn't help but be stunned, "Professor Young...... It turned out to be a friend of my father......"

"What's wrong?" asked Tim, "is that weird?"

"No...... It's just that...... Uh......" Alan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He never expected that the man he had suspected for a long time as the true identity of Burestu would be on their side, and he had such a close relationship with his father...... Not...... Sure enough, people are not allowed to look good......

"Ah...... I see......" Seeing Allen's expression, Tim guessed something, "He really doesn't look very pleasant...... Not...... And because I have been sleeping outside for many years, I am used to being casual, and I do have some problems with personal hygiene......"

"That's pretty much it......" Alan couldn't help but smile.

"Although his personality is a bit gloomy and he is not good at words, he is really a good guy in essence. "He stepped up several times to help us get out of the wolves...... I have to say that the wind elemental magic he can use is really effective in avoiding the eyes and ears of werewolves...... When the time comes, if he asks you for something, you don't have to worry about anything, just do what he says. ”

"Okay. ”

"Go to sleep. ”

"Hmm...... Good night, Daddy. ”

It's been a really tiring few days, so Alan fell asleep almost as soon as he lay down.

The nights in November are cold, especially outdoors. However, there is a layer of leaves covering the body like a quilt, so there is no need to worry about freezing and catching a cold.

When Alan opened his eyes again, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

Everyone else was already up, including Tim, who had just fallen asleep not long ago.

Marianne cooked them something like porridge for breakfast, and after a brief meal they set off.

Arthur is still at the forefront leading the way.

There were no obstacles along the way, and there was no fear of danger, so they walked at an unusually brisk pace, and it took them only about an hour to reach the old Adrian's current residence.

But there was no old Adrian in the vicinity.

Arthur screamed at the cabin in the trees, as if to explain to everyone that old Adrian was in the house.

"Mr. Audrian?" called Tim into the room.

But no one responded.

"Mr. Audrian?" Alan quickly shouted when he saw this, "Isn't there?"

Still no one spoke, just some other voices were heard......

"Knock knock knock......" The sound of a cane tapping on a wooden board sounded, as if to indicate that he had heard.

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what was wrong with this old man today.

"Are you feeling unwell?" asked Alan in a loud voice.

This time, the voice finally came out......

"I'm fine...... the voice was from old Adrian, but a little hoarse, "I'm fine." ”

The atmosphere was a bit strange, and several people suddenly didn't know what to say.

At the end, Tim spoke: "Mr. Adrian, we are here to say goodbye to you. ”

Alan was a little surprised and looked at his dad. Because I was supposed to take a break here, and ask old Adrian about Burestu.

But when he thought about it, he understood...... Tim may have noticed that old Adrian didn't want to meet with them now, so he stopped pressing.

"We're getting out of the woods, there's still work to do. It's time for the boys to go back to the castle, too. ”

"Hmm......" Old Adrian's voice rang out again, "go ahead......"

There were no pleasantries, no words, not even congratulations or blessings, but a simple two-word reply, and the old man never spoke again.

Alan sighed softly, vaguely guessing why. But now that old Adrian didn't show up, he couldn't ask the questions he had prepared a long time ago.

"Let's go. As he spoke, Tim motioned for Alan and the others to lead the way and return the way they came.

Arthur consciously stayed where he was, watching them leave.

The whole process will not be repeated one by one.

By the time they reached the exit, it was already dusk.

A door to the perimeter wall on the outside of the site has appeared.

Alan and a few of the contestants went out to check on the situation first, and found from a distance that Professor Stubone and several staff members of the Magical Management Society were already waiting at the place where they had landed collectively last time.

In order to avoid them, Tim and Marianne bid them farewell and went to find another exit.

"What's going on?" Professor Stubone was surprised to see them, "Why are you the only ones coming out? What about the proctors of the third round? They should come out with you and then announce who the champion is." ”

"Uh...... We don't know ...... either" Alan then realized that the original plan was like this.

"And it's almost six o'clock in the evening, which is much more than expected...... If you don't come out again, I'll have to close the team again today. Professor Stubourne had a question mark on his face, "Or ...... You guys were the ones who were eliminated and didn't make it to the final round at all?"

"No, Professor, a few of us are indeed finalists. At this point, Frey stepped up, "It's just that there was some accident during the exam...... Someone tragically lost their lives in the final trial, so the proctors said let's go first, and they have the next thing to take care of. ”

"Oh!" Professor Stubone exclaimed, looking rather uneasy, "someone is dead, and sure enough, someone is dead...... Oh...... It's unfortunate......"

Sure enough, it was Frey's words that carried more weight.

"Hmm...... That's really troublesome...... Well, it's going to take time to deal with these things......" Professor Stubone beckoned back, "then...... So be it...... You guys go back first, I'll wait here a little longer, and I'll look for you again if there's anything to do." ”

"Good. ”

Several men complied with the instructions and gathered in a circle, allowing the staff to use spatial magic to send them back to the school.

The street lights in the square were on, and there was no one, not as Riel had imagined, but a large crowd of people welcomed them back like they were welcoming the heroes back.

It seems that it is still on vacation, and most of the people are not in the castle, but take the opportunity to go out and play.

After saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their rooms to rest.

However, there is one thing that makes it difficult for Alan and Riel......

"You're back!" Ian rushed over as soon as they pushed the door open, pouring a glass of water for each of them.

"Uh-huh......" Alan replied softly.

"How's it going? who's the champion?" asked Ian.

"Uh...... This ......"

But before they could answer, Ian looked behind them again and asked, "Why are you two the only ones back...... What about Ivan?"
