Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 149: Riel's Plan

"Are you sure?" Riel asked, remembering his attitude towards Tony, a little embarrassed.

"Yes, for sure...... Because I was staring at it for a long time, and I wanted to get close to it......" Alan said as he carefully recalled the situation, "and my instincts told me that it was no ordinary lamp...... It's weird......

"It's true...... Riel was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tony, "So this guy isn't talking nonsense......"

"Yes, what he said should be true......" Alan frowned, "but ......"

"How did that light end up here?" Riel guessed what Eren was trying to say.

"That's right...... That's exactly what I don't understand......" Alan bit his lip, "Is it ......"

"Could it be that Frost taught her...... Still thinking about coming to make up for Alyssa?"

Just now, I thought that Rare had been a little better recently, and after hearing this, Alan didn't have any hope for him at all.

"If it were you, would you come at twelve midnight to make up for a student who was still unconscious?" Alan glanced at him angrily, "and how would she know which ward Alyssa lives in?"

"Uh......" Rare scratched his head in embarrassment.

"And I'm more interested in why there are no footsteps than who has been here......," said Allen, "and whoever has been here, no matter how light they walk, they will make some noise......

"Is it really a ghost!?" Riel blurted out with a shudder at this.

"How could it be ......," Alan gave him another blank look.

"Uh...... If it's just a discussion about how to make people walk without making a sound, I know a way to do it, and I don't know if it will help you. Then Professor Watson said suddenly.

"What method?" Alan was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked.

"Uh...... Do you know that before the Darkers died, they went to capture the werewolves?" asked Professor Watson.

"Yes, Professor Fran told us personally. ”

"Did she tell you the details of that case, for example, about a magic called 'Wind Goes Without a Trace?'" Professor Watson asked again.

"Uh...... She didn't go into such detail with us, except that their team had quickly caught the werewolf who had committed the crime. ”

"Okay...... In fact, that case has been widely circulated within our Department of Security as a classic case, as it provides a perfect plan for how to deal effectively with similar incidents in the future. Professor Watson said slowly, "And the magic called 'Wind Goes Without a Trace' is the key to this plan. ”

"What kind of magic is that?" Alan asked.

"It's a high-level wind elemental magic, and you may not be exposed to it until next year...... To put it simply, it is to form a circulating air flow around the body, wrapping the whole person from head to toe, so as to eliminate the smell and footsteps on the body, and achieve the purpose of quietly approaching the target. Professor Watson explained, "Even the ears and noses of werewolves are not noticeable. ”

Hearing this, Alan understood what kind of plan they had used to capture the werewolf back then.

"But ......," said Alan after thinking for a moment, he said a little hesitantly, "so I don't know who came here at night, after all, there is not even a trace left...... Also, Professor Frost is a professor of water elemental magic, and we've never heard of her using wind elemental magic. ”

"Hmm...... That's true...... Professor Watson nodded, "but I just want to tell you everything I know." ”

"Thank you, Professor. ”

"I have an idea!" Riel said suddenly.

Although he is not very reliable when thinking about problems, he is quick to think of ghost ideas.

"Tell me about it. ”

"Looks like we're going to have to trouble Tony Rich!" Riel said with a wicked smile and staring at Tony.

"Me?" Tony was confused when he heard that he was going to ask him to help.

"Yes...... Haven't you seen that light for two nights in a row?" said Riel, "and then give you another chance to get a good look up close......

The few people present instantly understood what Riel was up to: he wanted Tony to wait at the same time tonight and take a closer look.

"No, no, no, it's your business! it's none of my business!" Tony shook his head quickly as he waved his hand, "I've been living here for too long, so I'll pack my things and go back to my room...... I've had enough lessons left behind, and I'm going to have to read the books these days...... Well...... I still enjoy learning......"

"Oh, I see, I didn't expect you to love learning so much. Riel smiled evilly, "Then if what you've been doing these days is known to Professor Stubourne, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in this school...... Well...... I know Professor Stubone very well, and Professor Watson testifies, and I think with his temper, he should get you to pack up and go home immediately......"

"Yes, I promise you! Twelve o'clock tonight, I remember!" Tony quickly changed his words in fright.

"Hmm...... That's right......" Riel looked at him with a smile, "but there's one more thing you need to do for us......"

"And?" Tony felt a little remorseful when he heard this.

"That's right...... That'......" Riel leaned over and said, "Not only to show you if that person will come back, but also to help us see who that person really is!"

"What?!" Tony instantly felt a little tingling in his scalp, "What do you think of this?!"

"What do you think?" said Riel, staring at him, "If, as you say, the light of that lamp is dim, of course you have to walk up to his face and see it...... As for how to do it, I think you must have points in mind, right?"

"You mean...... Let me pretend to come out to the bathroom...... And crashed into his arms......" Tony thought about it, and the sweat began to flow down his head again. But it's no wonder that, with his guts, he was so scared that he wanted to pee his pants just by seeing such a strange thing, and Riel even asked him to walk into that person's face......

"Clever! that's it!" Rare snorted in satisfaction, then patted Tony's shoulder, who was already stunned, "Then please!"

With that, Riel pulled Alan and turned around to leave.

"Wait!" Tony suddenly shouted, "I thought about it, uh...... I'm still ......."

"Or what?" Riel immediately interrupted, not giving him a chance to continue, "If you can bring us satisfactory news tomorrow, Professor Stubourne will never know about a student pretending to be sick and skipping class...... I think with your love of learning and hard work, your future is bright!"

"Uh......" Tony was dumbfounded by Riel's words, and hesitated for a long time before he said, "I mean to say ...... Belch...... I'd better do it......"

"That's right!" Riel waved at him as he walked to the door, "Come on! I'm optimistic about you, Tony Richie." ”

The three of them came out of this room. Professor Watson went back to his office, and Alan and Riel made their way back to their rooms.

At first, Alan didn't approve of Riel's plan, after all, taking someone else's handle, and then using this kind of almost coercion to get others to help, this way is really not fair enough, and he is a person who has nothing to do with this matter in the first place.

However, the thought that it might be related to Alyssa's safety, and he couldn't think of any better solution, reluctantly agreed.

The snow was still falling outside, smashing on their umbrellas one by one, and making a "poof" sound.

Alan glanced hurriedly at the sky, and saw that the dark clouds seemed to be thicker, and the snow had no intention of stopping.

After lunch, since the two of them didn't have much to do next, and their plans to see the maple leaves were ruined because of the snow, Alan pulled Riel to accompany him to the library to review his homework for a whole afternoon, although it didn't take long for Riel to excuse himself to go to the bathroom and take the opportunity to slip away.

Since he only needs to wait for Tony's news tomorrow, Allen, who has no worries, looks very seriously. When he had reviewed them all, he found that it was almost eight o'clock. He hurried to the restaurant for a quick bite to eat, and then went back to his room.

But of course, as soon as he pushed the door open, he was stunned: Riel was still building a snowman in full swing! And this time he had an extra helper, Ian.

It turns out that Ian has never seen snow either. It's just that unlike Beya, it never snows there in Tumon because it's too dry.

Alan looked at the narrow balcony, and there were no less than ten snowmen piled up, each of which had a note pasted on it, which read: Dad, Mom, Alan, Alyssa, himself, and Mr. Odrian.

Ian's side is stacked with snowmen named "Daddy", "Mommy", "Ivan", and "Ellen".

And Riel is still busy making another snowman.

"What is this?" Alan couldn't help but ask. Those ones all have names, and it's easy to tell, but this Alan who Riel is doing can't tell who it is.

"Kelly, of course!" Riel blinked, then looked into Kelly's ear while he was working, "Isn't it like that?"

"Uh...... Like......" Alan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, this looks like a werewolf, it's just a mouse......

"Wait, I'm going to make an Arthur's!" Riel looked completely absorbed and couldn't help himself, "I think he's really hard to do, especially the wings!"

"Uh-huh...... Then you do it slowly......" Alan nodded perfunctorily. Then he went back to bed and lay down. He's now looking forward to what Tony will bring them tomorrow.

"Who could it be?" he wondered, "could it be Professor Frost, or was it someone else? and the lamp...... What is it for? If I'm right, it seems to carry a lot of magic on it......"

In this way, unconsciously, he fell asleep......

Thankfully, he didn't catch a cold, as he woke up the next morning to find that Rare and Ian had covered him.

Alan was moved by a burst of emotion, and saw that it was still early, as if it was only six o'clock, and decided to wait for them to wake up and invite them to a hearty breakfast.

The snow was still falling, and it had been raining for a day and a night, which surprised Allen.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by Will's voice: "Mr. Alan Paterner, please wake up quickly!

"Someone is waiting for me?" Alan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think, "Who could it be...... Alyssa? She's awake?"

But before he could think about it, Will's voice rang out again: "Mr. Alan Pattner, can you hear me? Please wake up quickly...... Professor Hippock Watson is waiting for you downstairs!"
