Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Demon Eye Chapter 53 is still confusing
"Could it be ......" Hearing Mr. Winslow say this, Alan had almost guessed a few points. Hector mentioned in his diary that if Mr. Winslow was really studying some forbidden magic, he would not sit idly by.
"I know he's very close to the other families who live in Crivari, so I've always been on the lookout for them, and I don't dare to give them too much power. Mr. Winslow said with a calm face, "The reason why Krivari City has become so majestic is the result of the joint efforts of our two families. But at that time, he actually contacted them secretly, saying that I had touched the taboo, and if this continued, the future of the entire Hepu Continent would be buried in my hands, and he took the lead in planning how to overthrow our family, and then imprison all the people in our family in the Misty Forest...... Oh, he's really courageous, but fortunately he's a person who is not good at disguise, and everything is written on his face, so I can strangle him in the cradle when this first sign appears. As soon as Hector died, no one had the courage to mention it, and the rest of the family had to stop there. ”
"It's like this...... Allen couldn't help but be a little stunned and a little regretful, "It's not easy to overthrow such a big family, he must have acted rashly with insufficient ability and preparation......
"Heh, the treasure can be divided into half of it, after all, it has been so long to find clues about it, and the protection of the gnomes by the Wagbein family is also a great achievement. Mr. Winslow said, "But I didn't expect this guy to meddle in my most important business." ”
Alan looked around and found that because the deterrent power of the flames was too strong, the wood demons around them all leaned back, trying to get as far away from the flames as possible, but at the same time, they were eyeing the people in the flames, and the long vines were constantly tempting to approach them from other places. Alan could also clearly see in their eyes their desire for a human body.
"These wood demons ......," Alan said before stopping.
"It's something my family has been working on for generations since they moved to Krivari. Mr. Winslow proudly pointed to the Wood Demons around him, as if to introduce some great achievement, "I am sure you have seen it before, they were all elves before. Oh, elf...... What a perfect form of life...... They seem so noble, pure, undefiled, unencumbered by affection, undriven by profit, just looking at them makes people feel refreshed!
"Eternal ......" was stunned when he heard the word, and remembered that Mr. Winslow called Frost a teacher, and guessed something.
"My ancestors wanted this eternity, but they all failed. Mr. Winslow said, "There are quite a few Wood Spirits here that have been around for hundreds of years, and they are the ones left over from the failure of the original magic. ”
Sure enough, Frost's purpose was similar...... Their purpose is to gain eternal life, too!" Alan thought to himself.
"But I'm different!" said Mr. Winslow who looked a little excited, and his face was full of pride, "I got the guidance of a famous teacher!"
As he spoke, Mr. Winslow forcibly summoned an elf from another plant, draining all the spiritual power from the elf's body in front of them.
"Menissa Frost, my most respected teacher......" After absorbing the elves' spiritual powers, Mr. Winslow's face seemed to be a little more ruddy, and his emotions became more and more high......: "Unlike the gentle methods of my ancestors, she taught me how to turn the elves into my servants more quickly, and how to extract and take away their spiritual power for my own use!" I have to say that these spiritual powers are indeed good things, and every time I absorb a little bit, I feel a little younger. She told me that if I continued like this for a long time, I might have a reverse growth...... Meeting her is the best gift that fate has given me!
At this point, Mr. Winslow suddenly let out an eerie laugh.
Seeing Mr. Winslow's slightly crazy appearance, a bold idea suddenly popped into Allen's mind, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that case that happened in this school fifteen years ago...... It's your family?!"
Allen's speculation is not unfounded. If the Winslow family has been studying this kind of thing for a long time, and Hector Wagbine has discovered it and is preparing to stage a coup d'état, then in order to purge these Winslow family opponents on a large scale and prevent their descendants from retaliating, they can indeed do such a horrific thing...... And then just instill some false memories in those who survived, and everything that happens after that will seem to be logical. This would also explain why Brestous suddenly disappeared after the crime, and the association refused to pursue it further.
On top of that, Frost had come to work at the school fifteen years earlier, and if Mr. Winslow had known her before that, it would have been very possible to have Frost lurk here for a common purpose after the threat had been purged.
"Arn Bérestou doesn't exist at all...... It's all your family's work behind the scenes, isn't it!?" Alan couldn't help but shout again.
But Mr. Winslow's answer surprised him a little: "Brestous......?" You mean that case from 15 years ago? How did you come up with that?"
Mr. Winslow seems to have no idea what was going on......
"It really has nothing to do with our family. Mr. Winslow shrugged and said, "To be honest, I don't know what happened that night, and no one knows." Although there were not as many students in this school as there are now, so many people died at once, and almost destroyed the entire Ministry of Security, if it weren't for Deputy Minister Temnabo crying and telling me that even we would be in danger if we continued to track it down, I would definitely have investigated it thoroughly. Well...... Yes, if I had the chance, I'd really like to meet this Arne Bérestu and see who he really is!"
Although Mr. Winslow had given Allen the impression of being sinister and cunning from the beginning, he didn't seem to be lying in this situation, and it didn't seem like he was lying, and the reason why they stopped the investigation really seemed to be just for self-preservation, and Frost did come to this school because of Arne Burrestu.
And from what Mr. Winslow just said, it is certain that he has nothing to do with Burreto......
