Chapter 318: Undercurrent in the Dawn

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The witch did not take out the Dharma book in the end.

She stood at the door, the light pouring out from behind, leaving a long and thick shadow at the door, slanting, pointing straight at the old wizard sitting on one side of the room.

The old wizard tugged at his beard uneasily.

There was silence in the conference room.

Apart from the ticking of the desk clock, there was no other sound.

After a moment of pause, the witch raised her feet and walked into the conference room.

Ta,ta,ta.

The long skirt drags on the floor, like a surging tide, and the crisp knocking sound of the heels when falling is also like the sound of drums before the battle begins.

Without any unnecessary words or actions, just the simple act of entering the door brought great pressure to everyone inside. At the same time, a majestic momentum unique to the great wizard also came with the tide and the sound of drums.

, leaving the young assistants behind the questioning committee members almost breathless.

Fortunately, the several committee members responsible for questioning were also at the rank of Grand Wizard. They simply sat there, standing in the distance like a majestic cliff in front of a huge wave, blocking the subsequent pressure from the parliament members under the moon.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock.

On the conference table, on the dial of the clock, the second hand skipped one mark after another without stopping. This stability and persistence slowly eliminated the silent collision of energy in the room.

Su Shijun raised his chin slightly, revealing his white and long neck, and proudly restrained his pressure.

The round-faced witch sitting behind the conference table looked at the slim figure walking into the conference room. She felt that the whole room was brighter in an instant, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.

Finally, sitting on her left, the old wizard named James spoke first.

"you are late."

The old wizard broke the awkward silence he had caused with a dry voice.

Su Shijun took off his cloak and hat and handed them to a group of elves in blue-grey uniforms. He did not directly answer the old wizard's words, but glanced at the clock placed on the conference table and smiled slightly:

"A very beautiful clock... was it made by the Hook brothers?"

Hook Brothers Watch Shop is the most famous watch manufacturer in the wizarding world, monopolizing the production and sales of almost all high-end table clocks and pocket watches on the market.

"Not every exquisite clock belongs to the Hook brothers," the old wizard secretly breathed a sigh of relief for some unknown reason, but still kept a straight face and said in a somewhat stiff tone:

"This is a piece of the Great Colonial 'Persian Revival' style...produced in 1780 when the Hooke brothers were still learning how to make gears."

"Impressive." The witch complimented without sincerity and sat down in her own place, a large armchair in the center of the conference room.

There are several strong leather cords wrapped around the armrests of the chair, which are covered with fine runes intertwined with gold and silver.

After Su Shijun sat down, he straightened up and put his arms naturally on the armrests on both sides. The leather ropes shook his body intentionally, as if they wanted to tie the witch's arms to the armrests, and then the witch raised her left index finger.

, knocked on the wooden handrail.

Da da.

The chair let out an innocent scream, and the fine runes on several leather cords that had already shimmered were extinguished one after another, as if snow had fallen on the charcoal fire, leaving only a piece of coldness and loneliness.

The witch raised her head and looked forward. It seemed that she was not a witch being questioned for suspected violation of the "Wizard Code", but a queen accepting an audience from her subjects.

It's just that the inquiry committee members sitting behind the conference table are not ordinary wizards.

They quickly got rid of the witch's preemptive aura. After the gray-haired old wizard realized that the topic was led by the witch, he immediately gave up his intention to continue chatting. He even skipped the basic identity verification step, went straight to the point, and started the inquiry very simply.

model:

"Thank you," he first affirmed the witch's praise of the clock, and then began to question: "...but this is not the point. The point is that according to relevant regulations, before any member of the parliament enters the M4 level laboratory of the First University,

They all need to sign a binding agreement under the supervision of the alliance not to conduct dimensional fluctuation experiments..."

"Yes." Su Shijun interrupted the old wizard and replied with certainty.

The old wizard just gathered up his momentum and hesitated slightly.

Then immediately, a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes, and after a moment of pause, his voice rose slightly: "...but you didn't sign! The Two-dimensional Evolution Laboratory of the Dimension Ascension Experimental Research Institute of the First University's Institute of Applied Magic belongs to the M4 level

Magic Laboratory, and seven hours and thirteen minutes ago, you conducted dangerous dimension-related experiments in this laboratory, which once caused the space crystal walls in some areas of Phuket Island to weaken and the breath of other world to leak out. This is a very important experiment.

ACCIDENT……"

Su Shijun frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

That's why she doesn't like dealing with the old guys in the league. They always like to make fuss out of molehills - or selectively make fuss out of molehills - like a group of sharks that smell a hint of blood. These people have lost their creativity and courage to explore.

The old man, however, occupies the upper level of the 'magical creature chain', greedily grabbing all the benefits they can see.

"...There is evidence that this is not the first time you have conducted relevant dimensional experiments." The old wizard seemed not to notice the subtle changes in the witch's expression, and continued to question in a loud voice: "From October 30 to November 2 last year

During the school hunting competition held by the First University, Phuket Island recorded an S-level magical accident, causing serious injuries to several registered researchers, and an M4-level magic laboratory was completely destroyed..."

"If I remember correctly," Su Shijun interrupted the old wizard James's question and said slightly unhappily: "Last year's accident has been handled by the relevant departments of First University... The corresponding procedures are in compliance with the requirements. Is it possible that everything I have done before

Are you going to list all the experimental accidents?"

James lowered his eyelids and moved his fingers slightly, as if he was looking through the materials on the table.

"The 'relevant departments' of First University were involved in dereliction of duty and abuse of power in the handling of that case. The alliance has issued a letter of concern about malfeasance to the school." The old wizard curled his fingers and tapped the table: "...get further information from the school.

Until the explanation is given, it will not affect our ability to combine the two cases for questioning."

"Do you have any objections to the above question?" the round-faced witch interrupted at the right time, looking gently at the witch sitting in the center of the conference room.

Su Shijun took a deep breath and stood up straighter.

"Yes." She was still a little unsure about what these old guys from the Alliance wanted to do, so she worded her words very carefully: "First, every experiment I conduct has been approved by the school working committee's safety assessment and the joint meeting of professors.

, there is no illegal experimental behavior; secondly, the weakening of the crystal wall and the invasion of alien breath that occurred in the school a few hours ago, including the disappearance of several students in the museum, have nothing to do with my experiment; thirdly, the dimension-related experiments are not dimension fluctuations.

experiment."

"Ahem," the skinny wizard who had been silent from the beginning finally coughed twice and sighed: "So, did the influence earlier cause several students to get lost in the gap in time and space?"
