Volume 1 The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemy of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 121 The Mid-Moon Forward
"In other words, the disappearance of the Sipheus, the loss of power of the Wagbean family, and the unexpected death of Frey's father, all of which are related to the Winslow family?"
"That's right...... Now it seems that this is indeed the case. β
"No wonder Old Seapheus repeatedly warned me to stay away from the Winslow family......" Alan swallowed, "If it was really their family's work, it was dangerous......"
"What did you all talk about?" asked Professor Watson.
"He didn't tell me much, it was all about the history of the gnomes...... And he advised me not to pursue it further. β
"Hmm...... He was right. Professor Watson pushed his eyes and said, "It's something that has nothing to do with you, and you really shouldn't meddle in this." β
"But why did the Winslow family do this? Haven't they been running this continent together for a long time?" Allen's curiosity had been aroused, and he didn't listen to Professor Watson's words at all.
"Who knows...... Professor Watson was also full of doubts, "all we know now is that the Winslow family will remove all those who hinder and affect their family's interests!"
Alan nodded, lost in thought.
It was only after a long moment that he suddenly raised his head and remembered something: "Ahh......h
"What's wrong?"
Alan stopped talking, hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about ...... Do you know a man named Doug?"
According to his logic, Doug was someone old Sieverus knew, and Professor Watson had such a close relationship with the Wagbean family, if Doug was also surnamed Wagbein, and disappeared with this group of gnomes and was locked up in a dungeon, then maybe some new clues would be found here.
But Professor Watson's answer disappointed him.
"Doug?" Professor Watson frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Not impressed at all......"
"Are you sure?, is there no one in the Wagbyne family named Doug?" asked Alan again, a little surprised.
"I'm pretty sure, no. Professor Watson looked at Alan quizzically, "Who is he? Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"No, it's okay, I just heard old Seaphus mention such a person, eh...... And it seems to be close to the gnomes and the Wagbein family, so I'm wondering if you'll know each other. β
"Oh......" Professor Watson nodded, "that's fine, but unfortunately you guessed wrong this time...... Neither the Wagbein family nor any of my acquaintances were named Doug. β
"Hmm...... All right. Alan nodded disappointedly.
"That's the end of it for you. With that, Professor Watson got back to his feet, walked over to Allen, crouched down, and began to continue to treat his foot, "Remember, you're just an unrelated person, so don't make trouble for yourself." β
"Hmm......" Alan bit his lip and whispered in agreement.
After about ten minutes, Professor Watson stood up and said, "That's the end of today's treatment, the next thing you have to do is to rest as much as possible, and stay in the room without friends with you, so as not to have an accident or aggravate the condition." β
Alan moved his ankle slightly, and noticed that the pain had lessened a lot, "Okay, I remember." β
"Remember to come over tomorrow too. Professor Watson returned to his chair and smiled at him, "Ah, and the sign on the door, please help me turn it over again." β
Alan said yes and walked out of the hospital with Rare's help.
For the next three days, Alan obediently followed Professor Watson's instructions, except for going to the treatment on time, staying in his room every day to read books and do homework, and asking Ryel or Ian to bring him back from the cafeteria for three meals a day.
Unable to move, let alone climb the stairs, Riel took Wednesday's Earth Elemental Magic class for him, even though Riel didn't listen to anything, just brought back the homework assigned by Professor Condy.
Fortunately, the homework was not difficult, and there was still the foundation of the elemental magic he had learned a few days ago, and after reading the book, he felt that he could solve it by himself.
Originally, Cynthia was waiting for Alan that afternoon, but she didn't expect that it was Ryel who was waiting for her, so she asked him why.
Riel didn't hide it at all, not only told Cynthia the ins and outs, but even scolded Frey in front of her on a whim.
"Despicable!" "Villain!" is the word Riel uses to describe Frey in front of Cynthia.
Although it was very happy and relieved at the time, but after enjoying it, Riel still regretted it a little, after all, Cynthia and Frey had a special relationship, and if Cynthia told Frey about this, it would inevitably be another big trouble.
However, Cynthia was not annoyed when she heard this, but smiled and said simply: "Frey, he is not such a person. Then he left. At the end, he didn't forget to leave a sentence for Riel: "Don't worry, although the words you just accused him were a bit excessive, I won't tell him." β
In addition to these, Allen's homework on Thursday and Friday was also brought by Riel on his behalf. Alyssa asks what happened, and Riel tells her about what happened to Allen again.
Unlike Cynthia's calm attitude, Alyssa was worried after hearing this, and chased after Riel after class on Friday to ask this and that, about all the details of that night and Alan's recent life.
"Rest assured, I went for my last treatment this morning, and Professor Watson said he just had to rest for the night and he would be able to walk tomorrow. Riel may have been a little impatient with Alyssa's question.
"Thankfully, it doesn't seem too bad. Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've heard from seniors that they usually leave at 6 o'clock on the first day of the month, and it only takes about two hours to arrive. The school has already arranged a place for us to live in the city...... He should be able to make it to this trip. Riel guessed what Alyssa was worried about and said.
However, Alyssa's face turned slightly red, and she twisted her head to the side, "Who, who told you that I was worried about this......"
"Oh, didn't you just keep muttering about the 'Rainbow Tower', and the 'Rose Curtain Wall'?" Riel looked at Alyssa, a little confused by her reaction.
"Of course the Rainbow Tower is going!" Alyssa gave him a blank look, her tone hurried, "That's the landmark of Krivari City, it's a hundred years old, and probably only you care about where there are many people and where there is excitement to see." β
"Of course I know that...... But what is the 'Rose Curtain Wall'?" asked Riel, scratching his head.
"Looks like you're going to brush up on a brief history of magic......," Alyssa pouted, looking at him with disgust, before explaining wistfully, "The 'Rose FaΓ§ade', also known as the 'Rose Square', is where the annual festival is held in Krivari...... You should know that in Montroda there used to be a grand festival every 'dawn', and since Montroda was destroyed and Crivary became the political center of the continent, this memorial has also been moved here. However, the walls around this memorial plaza are covered with ever-blooming roses, hence the name 'Rose Curtain Wall'. β
"Oh......" Riel didn't react in any particular way after hearing this, and muttered in confusion, "What are you doing with these things in the square, might as well get more food stalls there, how nice it would be to eat and play at the same time......
"You know how to eat!" Alyssa gave him another blank look, "I don't know anything but eat." β
With that, Alyssa turned her head to the side and ignored him.
Riel shrugged his shoulders and said goodbye at the intersection where they often met.
But what he didn't expect was that when he returned to the room, he found that only Ivan was in the room, but Alan was not.
Strange for a moment, Riel lay down on the bed and waited quietly. It wasn't until around seven o'clock in the evening that Alan and Ian came back from outside.
"Where have you been?" asked Alan as soon as he entered Menriel.
"Professor Tovorson's blessing, the foot injury seems to be getting better sooner than expected...... When I woke up from a nap, I didn't feel any pain at all, so I went out for a walk. Allen's face was full of happiness, and he pointed to his feet as he spoke, "Then I went to the library by the way, after all, I have missed a lot of classes in the past two days." β
"Well, it looks like you can come with us to Krivari on Saturday night?" Riel looked excited.
"I feel like it should be fine. Alan said as he sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Awesome!I wonder who's going to be the one to show us the way?" "Ralle's face was full of anticipation, "maybe it's going to be a beautiful senpai......"
"Lead the way?" Regarding things other than studying, Alan clearly didn't know as much as Riel.
"yes, don't you know?" Riel leaned over him, "It's not just us freshmen who go to Krivari on the first day of the semester, a lot of seniors will also go with us to serve as guides. β
"Oh......" Alan realized when he heard this, "then it seems that when the time comes, we will be able to move freely as a group?"
"That's right!" Riel said, "Tomorrow night at six o'clock, the carriages to Crivari will be ready at the school gate, each with freshmen and seniors, and then when we get to Crivari, these seniors will take us around the city. β
"......I see," Alan nodded, and then poured a basin of cold water on Riel: "Then you don't have to think about any beautiful senior sisters." β
"Why?" Riel was stunned, and his heart was cold.
"It's easy...... "Allen glanced at him, "because by the time we get there, it's almost past eight, right?"
"That's right...... What's going on?" Riel still didn't understand.
"This means that if you're going to be our guide the next day, we'll probably be in the same room that night. Alan patted him on the shoulder, as if to comfort him.
Hearing this, Riel also understood, and muttered, "That is, ......"
"Yes, that is to say, the one who will lead us must be the senior. β
