Lu Li stared at Professor Jushu, waiting for his explanation.
"There has never been a second exorcist returning, only you."
Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne reveals the truth.
It seems that Kleins University is too eager. They couldn't wait to start promoting Lu Li without confirming his identity.
The giant tree and the church, the city hall had no time to stop them, and could only remedy the negligence of the Appearance University - to create another exorcist more important than Lu Li, to replace Lu Li, expose Lu Li, and protect Lu Li.
This is a bit difficult. The story of Lu Li, who almost solved the third disaster on his own, is spreading in the deserted land. Few people know about it, and there is no one more famous than him.
So they took a trick - borrowing the identity of one of the founders of Midnight City, exorcist Yenard Matthews.
He is not as good as Lu Li, but he means more to Midnight City.
Then, they selected Stan Lozano, a gold medal actor from Midnight City's most famous theater, to play Yenard Matthews.
Alternative plans begin.
This is why "Yenard Matthews" appeared a day later than Lu Li.
The plan was carried out in an orderly manner, and the appearance of "Yenad Matthews" and the arrangements quickly overshadowed Lu Li.
However, something almost went wrong. The disguise imposed by Jushu University on "Yenad Matthews" was almost destroyed by Lu Li's left hand.
Realizing the undercurrent in Midnight City, they carried out the final step of their plan: replacement.
Genard Matthews, played by Stan Lozano, leads the knights and breaks into the Lange family gathering to "expose" Lu Li's identity and take him into a dungeon for protection.
Having done everything well, he went to the Town Hall Square to give a speech, and at the same time attracted all the intrigues hidden in the shadows.
The heretics and conspirators did bring some trouble. Even though the sweet and delicious bait was right in the square, some people who noticed something still found the location of the dungeon, broke into the dungeon, and tried to take Lu Li away.
This is the reason for the sound coming from outside half a day ago.
When all Xiaoxiao and the conspiracy were solved, they released Lu Li and came to the Alchemy Tower to explain everything.
A fairly good ending: the conspirators were eliminated, Midnight City was cleaner again, and the substitute bait was still alive.
Except for some prisoners in the dungeon who died in vain.
They gave Lu Li a chance to verify: let Lu Li touch Stan Lozano to erase his disguise.
Lu Li did not refuse and stretched out his palm to hold Stan Lozano's wrist. Stan Lozano grinned in pain.
After a few seconds, Stan Lozano's skin began to melt, revealing his true appearance - a middle-aged man with brilliant blond hair.
The subtle humanity flows into the body after dissipating through the skin.
Is that something weird?
"You don't have to hide it from me."
Lu Li took back his palm. The possibility that they were lying was extremely slim.
"Just to avoid unnecessary trouble." Meg from the Midnight Church suddenly responded coldly.
"We have to beware of weird things that capture thoughts," explains Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne.
He signaled that Stan Lozano could leave, and Stan Lozano said goodbye to them and said "I'm glad to get along with you" to Lu Li before leaving the top of the Alchemy Tower.
Lu Li sat back on the sofa, crossed his slender legs, and looked at them calmly: "What are you going to do next?"
"The replacement plan has been completed, and the air in Midnight City is much cleaner... You can leave at any time, but for your safety, we do not recommend you to be too high-profile. After all, none of us can afford to lose our heroes."
Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne looked at Lu Li's side face looking away from the curtain wall, and added: "May I ask, what are you going to do next?"
"Leave Midnight City and go to the Lord's Continent."
The wrinkles at the corners of Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne's eyes became more severe as he frowned: "Because of our offense...?"
Lu Li looked back: "I want to find... the girl's shadow and the merchant."
"As your Excellency, there are many things that you don't need to do yourself." Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne suggested: "And I personally think that you need to learn some knowledge from weird times to protect yourself."
Much of the knowledge from the past is no longer useful today.
However, due to some reasons, Lu Li rejected his suggestion. Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne took a step back and invited Lu Li to be a guest on the giant tree.
Lu Li did not refuse anymore and agreed that he would pick Lu Li up from the university tomorrow.
Meg from the Midnight Church seemed to have no intention of getting involved with Lu Li. Apart from those words, she didn't speak again, nor did she say anything on behalf of the Church.
There is a path leading down from the top of the Alchemy Tower, so there is no need to walk through the "cabinet". Before leaving the Alchemy Tower, Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne, who thought of something, said with good intentions: "Don't worry about rumors spreading about you being slandered.
, it is only controlled at the upper level, and as the matter is resolved, your identity has been restored, and you don’t have to worry about your reputation being affected.”
"See you tomorrow."
After Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne said goodbye, Meg's black robe suddenly deflated and collapsed, leaving only a black robe hanging on the sofa.
"What's wrong with her?" Lu Li frowned.
"This is knowledge that belongs to a strange era." Professor Ernie Hamilton Wayne said meaningfully. "I still have something to talk to the alchemist about. Please leave first."
Lu Li didn't say anything else, and left the top of the alchemy tower through the spiral staircase and returned to the ground.
There are always knights of the Knights guarding the Alchemy Tower, and a carriage has been waiting in front of the door for a long time.
Lu Li got on the carriage and drove him slowly away from the alchemy tower.
All the mysteries will be revealed when we go to the giant tree tomorrow.
The destination of the carriage was Appearance Clines University. Lu Li's return made them sigh with relief - the news that Lu Li was a fake almost made them faint. Fortunately, he was cleared of suspicion not long ago, and everything was just a conspiracy against the conspirators.
——
Or plan.
Catalina is not here, Dean Lawrence said that she is visiting the Lange family's manor.
It was not long after Lu Li was taken away by the Knights.
Did the clever Tour Lange discover the truth? Or is it just speculation among the nobles?
But one thing is obvious: from beginning to end, the aristocratic faction has been the party being played——
Tour Lange warmly welcomed Lu Li and claimed that he would hold a party in Weili another day, but was rejected by Lu Li again.
At the same time, Tour Lange revealed an interesting piece of information: Catalina was hired as the guard captain of the Lange family.
When Lu Li found her, she was drunk in the luxurious guest room.
"The food, the wine, and the maids, everything is great..." Catalina grabbed the wine bottle, her tone vague and her expression hazy. "But they are far behind you..."
When Catalina murmured what was in her heart, Lu Li left the room silently.
It's time to say goodbye.
Lu Li arrived at Midnight City and learned the next step.
