Chapter 584: The Perpetrator and the Victim
Aegis returned to her office in the Academy of Magic, and after the afternoon of fighting, she had a night-long meeting at the palace, leaving her physical and mental strength on the verge of bottoming out. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If she could, she really wanted to skip that troublesome meeting, but that meeting was related to this attack, and it was very important, and she couldn't let William see it on her behalf.
Pinched the bridge of his nose, of course, this level alone could not relieve the fatigue of his eyes, but at least it would make his eyes feel better, and then Aegis looked at the announcement in his hand with a headache, which was about the new regime and the princess Wanted.
"Wanted...... ? ā
It's really unimaginable, but in less than half a month, Her Royal Highness the princess with a smile on her face has changed from a soon-to-be-crowned queen to a wanted criminal, which is really unpredictable.
There was a knock on the office door, and with Eggies' permission, William walked in and asked the first thing he asked.
"How's it going?"
If he could, William also wanted to let Aegis have a good rest first, but this incident was very important, and William didn't dare to be sloppy, so he could only grieve Ajis.
"Did the royal capital give any explanation?"
After yesterday afternoon's battle, Aegis went to the royal capital after handing over the aftermath to William, and this was the first conversation between the two after that, so I could only start with the most fundamental questions.
Aegis shook it, she looked at William a little expectantly, she was taken aback after getting the reply, she just didn't know what kind of expression William would show.
"King Heberis was also attacked, but unfortunately, even they did not have any information about the attackers. ā
Sure enough, after hearing this, he showed a mixture of confusion and surprise, although not strange enough, but it also looked funny, which made Aegis feel a little more balanced, at least not alone.
"In other words, the capital of a country is attacked by people, but they don't even know who the attacker is?"
William frowned, his fingers rubbing his chin against the stubble he had grown from too late to take care of it.
"Although Heberis has been in trouble lately, it is a mature country after all, and there is not such a big mistake, which means that the enemy has the ability to fight the enemy with a city...... It seems that the enemy this time is even more tricky than expected....... ā
Aegis nodded.
"yes, I thought that the old man named Narukami Yasenten who attacked the academy and the little monster that could devour my magic were scary enough, but I didn't expect them to be just part of it. ā
Speaking of Narugami Yasenju and the little monster, Agees remembered the battle, a battle that turned what she had learned upside down.
Whether it is the strange ability of the little monster or the swordsmanship and martial arts that Narugami Yazen has reached the pinnacle, it makes her feel a sense of powerlessness that is daunting. But whether it's a little monster or Narugami Night Chiten, it's still in the framework of 'common sense', and it's Hekat who really subverts cognition.
Hekat is violent, absolutely violent, unmerciful violent, and in the face of such violence, martial arts have become the juggling of foolishness by clowns, and magic has become ridiculous nonsense.
Aegis kept thinking about what went wrong.
From the very beginning, Hekate was just a pampered child by his family in the eyes of Ejis, delicate and frail and young, plus he couldn't do magic, and he was harmless to humans and animals from beginning to end, but he was such a child, and in the blink of an eye, he became a terrible monster that Aegis was shocked by.
Yes, monsters.
People are always used to calling aliens that they can't understand and don't want to identify with monsters, but after meeting Hecate, Egith understands that those aliens are just victims of discrimination under the name of 'monsters', and that the real monsters are complete perpetrators like Hecate.
As long as the thought of such a monster is beside him, Ejis has a little headache, this is out of instinctive fear, even if Hekate does nothing, but as long as he stays nearby, the fear will not stop overflowing, because the brain clearly knows that in the face of that unstoppable force, no matter how much struggle is useless, life or faith, will become useless residue.
Aegis didn't want to speculate whether his teacher would be able to compete with Hekate, because if there was a bad outcome, it would be lost along with the last straw.
And, since Hecate is a monster, what about the other people who are with her, like that lovely Lucia.
Out of a state of mind that he couldn't explain himself, Aegis was reluctant to think deeply about the question.
"Speaking of which, where's Lockwood?"
Before leaving the academy, Aegis explained William's aftermath while also asking the awakened Lockwood to keep an eye on Hekate and Lulu's movements.
didn't want Hekate's identity to be exposed, and he couldn't let Hekat cause more harm to the students, so Aegis could only take this negative approach.
As soon as Aegis finished speaking, the door to the office opened again, and it was none other than the Lockwood that Ejith had just mentioned.
"Where the hell have you been?"
As soon as Lockwood entered the door, Aegis immediately began to look for his fault, who made this guy even fall asleep in such a fierce battle? With this heartless style, no matter what happens, he will be the first to trouble Lockwood, nine times out of ten.
Lockwood, who had just entered the door, was reprimanded without doing anything, but he still knew why Ejith was bothering him, so he had to suffer from himself.
"I've been following those two kids, and so far neither of them has behaved out of the ordinary, at best, it's been innocuous little things like skipping class. ā
Lockwood had a relieved expression on his face when he said this, and needless to say, Ejs also knew that Lockwood was because Hekate didn't
Hearing Lockwood's report, Aegis didn't know how to react, but he could only say that there was still a contrast to reflect the difference, and for the students, the punishment of skipping class and putting it on Hekate would make people feel that 'it's okay, it's okay, as long as the academy is not razed to the ground'.
This is definitely not a long-term solution, and it cannot continue in any way.
"I want to ...... Take a trip to Osoreyama. ā
That's what Eggies said.
As the branch director, she had to be responsible for the entire Herberis Branch, and personally, she wanted to confirm Lucia's attitude personally. (To be continued.) )
