Volume 1, The Wizard's World Chapter 79, Prelude to the Storm (1)
In order to fill the deep hole, which was 1 yard in diameter and 5 yards deep, Ian and Warren worked all night in the backyard of the girls' school. They were digging soil and buckling tiles, and they were busy in full swing.
He had experienced a battle before and was already exhausted. He still had the energy to do so much work. He was a noble, not a peasant. If it weren't for the high-ranking knight attendant Valen, he probably wouldn't have been able to do it overnight.
Let's deal with the crime scene.
"As for the flower garden, remember to ask the old lady to help cover it up." Ian pointed to the flower garden that he and Warren had made a mess. It was a place where girls usually spent time.
Jasmine hummed and asked again: "Are you going back today?"
"Otherwise!" If I don't go back today, do I have to wait until I complete my apprenticeship mission? I'm afraid there will be many changes by then.
"But" he asked instead, "what about you, Jasmine?"
Jasmine smiled and was about to say something. Ian immediately realized that he must not know her whereabouts, otherwise it would be another trouble, so he waved his hands and said: "Don't, don't say it, I don't want to hear it."
The question is yours to ask, but you won’t let me tell you, you guy, huh!
Jasmine put away her smile, made a sound, and entered the cellar with her hands behind her back.
"Master, which family is this from?" Warren, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked in a low voice. According to his eyes, the other person must be a child of a noble family.
Ian thought he had some ideas, so he looked at Warren with a half-smile and said, "Her? Do you have any ideas? Xiao Wa?"
Before Valen could deny it, he saw him stroking his chin with one hand and holding his elbow with the other, seriously considering: "The Phoenix family's strategy is too difficult, so I don't recommend you try it!"
"What are you talking about!" Valen complained first, and then shouted: "Ah... my God, she is a noble daughter of the Yinguang family. How did you meet her?"
These words seemed to say that knowing the other person was something worth showing off, and also seemed to say that Ian's low status was not worthy of knowing such a noble person. Ian rolled his eyes speechlessly.
It's like anyone wants to know him, Ian An said.
I just said something perfunctory to my colleague and turned around to leave.
"Take this guy and follow him. We're going back to the monastery... By the way, Miss Jasmine, don't forget to ask the old lady to go to the police station to pick him up. The matter is settled."
…
Although exhausted, he still knew which was more important. He ordered Warren to go back to the Scythe Bearer Church to fetch the horses and immediately set off back to Norton Mountain. However, Roger did not show up during this period, as if he wanted to stay away from this muddy water completely.
.
It was very dark in March, and they only dared to walk slowly with the torch on. For fear of injuring the horses' hooves, they had to carry Belloc back, and he was really going to cry.
Finally, he entered Todes Cemetery before dark the next day. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the cemetery, so he had to ask Valen to wait for him in Avon Town. The apprenticeship had not been completed yet, and he would not be able to stay in the monastery for long.
After thinking about it, he put the witchcraft mixture on his body into the space ring - this thing is simple to operate and easy to learn, and handed it to Valen: "Protect it, your young master's entire wealth is in it."
It’s inside.”
"Received, I will definitely protect it!" Warren stood at attention, then took the ring with both hands and solemnly promised.
The two parted ways, and after verification, Ian took Belloc into Todus Cemetery. The mentor in charge of this session was Capas Berkeley, the leader of the Sentinels.
Since he couldn't contact Consul, he had no choice but to contact Capas for such an important matter.
Capas's residence was originally in Sentinel's Sorrow, but since she began to preside over the monastery's affairs, she commandeered Consul Hettings's former laboratory.
After Sheen left, she promoted senior awakener Arthur Elliot to temporarily perform Sheen's duties. After Arthur Elliot's report, Ian quickly met Capas.
"Ian, has your mission been completed?" Capas sat in a high-backed chair with a straight back. Even inside the monastery, she wore close-fitting thin armor in daily life, looking like a heroic soldier.
Make a party.
Ian only felt that he was facing that cheap dad again, but this was no one else. He quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and respectfully replied: "There are still some apprenticeships left, but I discovered something very special during the mission.
We cannot delay important matters, so I left my post without permission and rushed back to the monastery. Please forgive me."
He kept his posture very low, completely regarding himself as a redeemer, because he knew that the monastery was no better than outside, and the teachers were the gods here, and he could not offend them no matter what.
However, Capas didn't pay much attention to this. She just asked in a business-like manner: "What's going on? Is it related to the wizard outside the door?"
"Yes!"
After getting permission, Ian brought Belloc in and reprimanded him severely: "Belloc, this is our Capas Berkeley mentor. Tell everything you know, otherwise you can't afford the consequences."
As soon as Belloc fell into his hands, he had already expected such an ending, but he did not want to die no matter what. He was a genius of the Holy Light Mercy Society and the most valued disciple of his mentor. His future was completely
It's limitless, how could he die in a place like this?
"Yes, yes, I know!" He tried his best to comply, and then blamed everything on the vice-captain. He only said that he was just following orders and hoped that Capas could spare his life.
But who is Capas, how could he not see through his language tricks? Just when Ian was about to say that's not what you said yesterday, she raised her hand to stop Ian.
"Everyone is responsible for their own actions, what do you think...Ian?"
Ian thought that Capas was mocking Belloc, but later he realized that he was asking himself, so after being stunned, he quickly nodded and replied: "You are right, Mr. Berkeley!"
Capas looked indifferent and nodded imperceptibly, then called Arthur and said: "Go and ask Scott and Shirley to come over."
After Arthur left, she said to Ian: "Well done, Ian."
After a pause, he asked again: "Besides you, does anyone else know about this?"
Perhaps it was Ian's misunderstanding, or perhaps Capas was really putting pressure on him. He just felt that the air around him had become thicker and he could not breathe smoothly.
this……
Countless thoughts went through his mind, but in the end he didn't tell Roger's involvement. He just replied uneasily: "No, only Jasmine and I know."
After saying this, his mind went blank, like a prisoner waiting for his sentence, frightened and hoping to be given a lighter sentence.
In just a few seconds, it seemed like an eternity had passed.
Capas's voice was still indifferent, like an amnesty coming from heaven, "That's good... I don't want to get involved in Jasmine's matter, but it's not appropriate for others to know about it, do you understand?"
Ian felt like he was being pardoned and quickly nodded in agreement.
But regarding Belloc...it seems that Capas wants to hand him over directly to Consul Hettings?
But this was none of his business, so he bowed and left: "If the teacher has no other instructions, I will go back to Appleton."
