It's not just Allen, but even Riel is stupefied with it. They had never seen the old man angry since they had known Old Adrian, and it was the first time that he had been so angry.

Kelly, who was skinning the dorsal ecanth, heard the voice and looked over curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

But old Adrian ignored him completely, and instead stared at Alan again and continued: "It can't be him. That Arne Bérestus with innocent blood on his hands, he's already dead!"

Alan didn't know why old Audrian was suddenly so angry, and his words revealed a strong hatred for Burestu, as if there was some kind of blood feud between them. What makes Allen more curious, though, is why he would be so sure that Brestos is dead.

In other words, Alan had asked now, but he looked at Old Adrian's mood at this moment, and he felt that it was better not to squeak for the time being. Old Adrian looked agitated now, one hand behind his back, pacing quickly back and forth in front of him and Riel, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, old Adrian's mood seemed to calm down at last, and then he sat down again and asked, "Who told you the truth about that case fourteen years ago?"

"Well, it's our Wind Elemental Magic Professor, Christine Fran. "You know, because the nature of this case is so bad and there are a lot of people involved, she was one of the investigators involved in that case." ”

"Yes, there are a lot of people involved, and I heard that more than half of the staff of the Department of Security have died in the line of duty. "But the families of those men only know that their family died in the line of duty, but they don't know that it is all because of this one man." And because of this, there were all kinds of rumors in the market, saying that the Grim Reaper had set his sights on the Ministry of Security and the like, which made people panic for a while. ”

"It's not just Professor Fran, a lot of professors in that school seem to have something to do with that. "Hippock Watson and Sam Rochel, for example, are among the few people who know the truth...... But it was precisely because they knew the truth that they were placed under house arrest in that castle. ”

"House arrest?"

"Yes, according to Professor Watson, anyone who had the slightest involvement in this case at the time either died or had been amnesiac. And those who have investigated in more detail or know more about the inside story have been arranged to serve in that castle, ostensibly allowing them to continue to live as professors, but in fact they are under house arrest to prevent the truth from leaking out!"

"Whew! Exploiting the fear of people and the weakness of human nature to achieve their own ends, this has always been what the Winslow family does best!" Old Adrian sneered, then stared at Alan again and asked, "So...... And who told you that the man who woke up Frost was Burrestu?"

"Uh...... Truth be told, it's Frost himself. Allen said.

"Oh?" said old Adrian, with some surprise and a little disbelief, "what did she say?"

"Let me think about it......" Alan thought for a moment, then said, "There are two main things she mentioned: One, she was woken up one day fourteen years ago. Two, she was woken up by a young man about our age, and the same man who led the one-eyed werewolf invasion of Kelly's territory. ”

"The same man!" cried old Adrian in a low voice. Although he didn't stand up like he had just done this time, judging by his trembling hand gripping his crutches, he was still very excited, but he was trying to restrain himself.

"Sure enough, it's the same person......" After a long time, old Adrian suddenly murmured again.

Alan was confused by him, because from what old Adrian had said, he didn't believe that Arne Burrestu was still alive, and he didn't expect him to have anything to do with werewolves. But now, he seemed to have expected all of this.

"Uh...... Mr. Adrian, how much do you know about this?" When old Adrian finally calmed down, Alan asked, "why do you insist that Bérestous is dead?"

I saw that old Adrian's face was solemn, as if he hadn't heard, his eyes were fixed on the campfire, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Alan and Riel looked at each other for a moment, but waited quietly.

"There's no why, it's just that all the rumors I've heard say he's dead. It took a long time for old Adrian to speak, "And he disappeared completely soon after committing that heinous crime, and nothing like it happened in more than ten years, so I believed it." ”

Old Adrian's tone was calm, but he rarely didn't look up, nor did he look at Alan and Riel.

"He's lying. Although he was reluctant to believe it, Allen's instincts told him so. Although this explanation is somewhat general but also reasonable, but after hearing this, Alan always has a vague feeling that something is wrong, and this old man seems to be hiding something.

"My child was one of the people who investigated the case and of course died at his hands. Old Adrian added.

"No wonder you look so angry at the mention of him. Riel said, and comforted old Adrian a few more words: "Your child is also a very brave man, and if he were still alive, he would be a very good magician." ”

"Probably......" Old Adrian smiled reluctantly, and continued, "I'm sorry, I seemed a little too excited. It's been more than a decade, and I've always thought that Bérestu was dead...... But now I don't think so. ”

"He really deserves to die, no, he should go to hell, and I think those innocent people won't let him go even if they become ghosts. Riel said as he shook his fist.

"I don't know if ghosts exist, but they do. Old Adrian was amused by Ariel, and perhaps didn't want to continue talking about such a heavy topic, so he said.

"Really?" asked Riel.

"Yes, I thought about it when I heard you say that Frost wanted to use his soul to invade Alyssa's body......" Old Adrian looked down and pondered for a moment, "As far as I know, everyone has a soul. What your soul is, what kind of character you exhibit, and what kind of person you will grow to become. Although your personality will change as you grow up with what you are exposed to, it will only add some other color to your personality, and your essence is determined by your soul. Of course, it also affects your words, actions and thinking, all the time. ”

Riel was confused by Old Adrian's cryptic words, but Alan seemed to understand.

"Yes, I don't know what kind of magic Frost used, but judging by the results, she did succeed. "I saw with my own eyes that the person who spoke at the time was obviously Alyssa, but the tone and logic were completely another Frost." ”

"Generally speaking, everyone's soul will only leave after physical death, and it is not easy to pull a person's soul out of his otherwise alive host, which is not only successful by crazy experimentation, but also requires a considerable amount of talent and a certain amount of luck. Old Adrian smiled and shook his head, "I have to admit that Frost is really quite a magician and creator in this regard. ”

Judging from what is written in her notes, she chose to start when people are asleep, as if that was when the success rate was the highest. Allen said.

"Well, please wait a minute......" Riel said suddenly.

"Huh?" said old Adrian, looking at him.

"You just said that after death, the soul will leave on its own initiative?"

"Yes, the soul leaves the body without its host. ”

"What about ......," Riel looked confused, "where did those souls go after they left?"

Alan was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it if it weren't for Riel asking about it. All he remembered was that Frost said that the forcibly pulled out soul would always surround the original host and would reclaim her body while the invader was asleep, so she was going to seal Alyssa's soul in the tail of the two-tailed black cat. But where do the souls of those who die of natural causes go?

"You've finally asked a decent question, Mr. Connor. Old Adrian smiled at him, then looked at Allen's equally expectant eyes, and said, "If you really want to know, I'll tell you something strange and mysterious." ”
