Chapter 161 Late Night Snack

After preparing for more than half a year, carefully planning every step, and now finally succeeding, Colin is in a very good mood.

He walked around the street several times to make sure no one was following him, then he came to the block where he lived and entered his apartment through the back window.

He hid his steps and went to the living room on the first floor, where he found Dorothy still lying on the sofa, even her posture had not changed.

Then turned around and entered the basement.

…

Late Winter Fortress.

Inside the Castle Laboratory.

Colin carefully placed the stolen treasure in the wooden box that had been prepared. After closing it, the light was completely covered.

Chaos Night Pearl.

In everyone's opinion, it is a decorative object with no practical purpose.

However, with the increasingly close relationship between the Banner magician group and magic, the Duke, who is already in his fifties, clearly feels a crisis.

He sighed: "I will personally explain to Mr. Felix. I believe I can gain the other party's understanding."

Ackerman saw that Dorothy was already brewing a fireball spell in her hands and hurriedly fled the scene.

Dorothy twisted her body slightly, and it was obvious that the effect of the hypnosis was slowly fading.

Ackerman and Dorothy left the principal's office and walked slowly down the corridor.

The next moment, the entire instrument made a low roar, and fell silent again after a moment.

This makes Colin Venn's future teleportations almost cost-free.

Get out of the lab.

There is still a long way to go in the exploration of chaos, but being able to apply it in practice first makes Colin feel that the road ahead is smooth.

"You mean the Grand Duke..."

"Who?" Hans and Dorothy looked at him at the same time.

"When something like this happens, of course he wants to describe his opponent as strong as possible!"

Magic is magical and mysterious, and humans only understand a small part of it.

Sending someone to steal the Night Pearl in an attempt to damage the relationship between the academy and the federation seems to be barely reasonable.

As the principal, Hans was indeed very angry. Although the Night Pearl itself was not very precious, it symbolized the connection between the Federation and Ilya Magic Academy, especially now that Felix had not left yet, and this incident had happened.

, it was also difficult to explain in front of the great magician.

Tessa's desk was filled with various documents and papers, while on the lord's desk, there was only a teapot and two teacups.

Colin bit into the bread, thinking that he must find time to teach the kitchen how to make steamed buns.

"The defensive array will be updated every two days. It is unlikely that anyone will be prepared in advance." Ackerman said: "It shows that the thief is very proficient in magic patterns."

As the chief assistant, Tessa legitimately placed a desk of her own in the lord's study, and it far exceeded the lord's own desk in terms of size and magnificence.

When I opened the door, I saw my senior sister was busy with her head down.

Lady Dorothy was still asleep.

Hans slapped the table.

However, in Colin's eyes, it is also a vital experimental material.

He returned to Ilia from the teleportation array, thought for a while, and dismantled the wind core collider. There was only a magic array and a bunch of instrument parts left in the basement. Even if someone discovered that a magic pattern professor had these in his basement

This thing is really normal.

The sun rises.

But it is magical and mysterious, which does not mean there is no solution.

As soon as she arrived at the college early in the morning, she was summoned in a hurry. She had only just understood what happened last night.

But using its function, Colin successfully upgraded the teleportation circle again.

After a long time.

He gently put the disheveled lady on the bed, and Colin also lay down next to her.

Colin carefully placed the Chaos Night Pearl on the wind core collider that had been modified for the umpteenth time. The spherical groove was just the right size.

"Senior sister?"

Before the lazy lady opened her eyes, Colin hugged her from behind.

late at night.

…

Although the operating principle behind this bead has not yet been explored.

Hans vented a bit, but said nothing more. After all, the library's guards were weak and he had a greater responsibility.

Although Hans also hopes to join the Federation, as the principal, he must also establish a good relationship with the aristocratic system. After all, part of the college's funding still comes from the principality.

"It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Snape to..."

He returned to the living room and checked the time. He had been away for less than an hour in total.

"Miss……"

"What's wrong with the magician? Are there not many of us who have been instigated to rebel?" Ackerman said disdainfully.

"Besides them, I really can't think of any other possibility." Ackerman said solemnly: "Only Abloh and those nobles have this motive to destroy the relationship between us and the Federation."

"Mr. Snape did not refuse the gift from the fraternity... Oh, I am referring to the wand... It shows that he does not have much resistance to the fraternity... Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have classes later. First,

Take a step."

It was late at night and the castle was quiet.

…

"I really can't figure it out. Who would risk offending the Federation and the Academy to steal a luminous pearl that has little practical use?"

In this case, with Colin's perception, it is almost impossible for the other party to pretend to be asleep.

You can feel the light even through the thin curtains.

Druid's hypnosis is particularly effective for this lady, who is already an intermediate level, but her strength is far inferior to Colin's.

"It's such a shame. Someone stole the Luminous Pearl during Lord Felix's visit. This puts the academy's face in a bad light."

When he walked to the study, Colin was surprised to find a bright light inside.

…

"But, that man is a magician..." Dorothy hesitated.

The current head of state of the Principality of Banner, Grand Duke Abro III, is one of the few heads of state in the Western Continent who can hold power in his hands.

He recalled what happened last night, repeating every step in his mind, repeatedly making sure that no flaws were exposed.

"People who don't want the federation to get closer to us."

As a group of magicians, of course they hope to join the federation, but it is not necessarily specific to a certain magician. Especially if the nobles offer higher benefits, it is normal to change camps.

"Crack!"

"Of course!" Dorothy said and glared at Ackerman.

This is of course just a minor issue.

…

Of course, because the Luminous Pearl is installed on the castle's teleportation array, this "free teleportation" is limited to the castle and other places. If you want to go directly from Ilya to Wilk, you still need to pay a "travel fee" of 450 gold francs.

Colin straightened up and took a deep breath.

Dorothy blurted out subconsciously, and then her face turned slightly red.

"Magic pattern..."

"Have you found any clues, are there any suspects?"

At first glance, I don’t know who the assistant is.

Chaos can only mean that people have not discovered its true laws.

Throughout the early morning, almost all the top leaders of the college were mobilized to search the surroundings, but no clues were found.

"Done."

Colin looked out the window at the faint light, walked to the door and changed into the clothes from last night's banquet, then came to the bar, drank two glasses of whiskey in a row, sprinkled some alcohol on himself, and then

Then he turned around and walked to the sofa, leaned over and picked up Dorothy, and walked to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Ma'am, are you sure Professor Snape is not a suspect?"
To be continued...
