The Dean Has Arrived Chapter 101: The Huolian Incident (Part 1)
A student was attacked by a headless monster.
This was what Sophia told him when she took Sive to the scene of the incident.
But when Xiwei arrived on the second floor near the infirmary, there were already many students around the scene of the incident, only to find that the scene was far from ‘tragic’ to explain.
The wall with the enhanced magic of the earth element is now recessed like a dough punched by a strong man, and in the middle of the recess, a corpse with no human form is embedded in the wall. The corpse is like a squeezed tomato, muscle fibers, internal organs, bones and fat are all mixed together in a sticky mass, bright red juice is sprayed radially in the pit, and the air is also filled with the unique smell of blood rust.
Even Sivi, who was used to the corpse for a long time, couldn't help frowning, and used his body to block Alyssa and Tio who were following along on the way. Although they will be exposed to this cruel scene sooner or later as they grow up, it is still too early for them.
After Sofia saw the corpse, the blood on her face faded suddenly, and she seemed to have a shaky feeling, but she still tried to pretend to be nonchalant, just subconsciously a little closer to Sevi.
Beside the corpse, a boy with a round face was kneeling weakly because of the huge shock. His face was pale, his lips kept closing, but he couldn't make a sound.
It may be because this scene is too permeating, even if there are many people watching, but the scene is silent.
This is not good for the growth of those students.
Xiwei looked around at the faces of the students around him, then used the elementary wind element application to amplify the transmission of his voice several times before shouting: "Calm down!"
It wasn't until he sounded like a thunder on the ground that they woke up and looked away from the corpse. Several students who were less courageous or mentally able to bear it directly vomited. .
"Don't get close to the corpse, keep your distance!" I don't know if the world protects the scene, but Xiwei decisively began to act as a temporary command based on the knowledge he learned from TV and the like: " Sophia, you go and help that boy here."
The girl nodded, trying not to look at the unpleasant pile of meat sauce, and carefully helped the round-faced boy away from the corpse.
"Alysateo. Go and find other professors." Sevi ordered: "Alice, don't look at it. I remember you can get in and out of the talkative Timo corridor, go quickly Find the dean!"
It may be that Xiwei's calmness gave the students courage. They also gradually began to return to the way they used to be, looking at Xiwei who had temporarily become their backbone.
However, Alysateo and Alice were not able to complete their tasks because the professors had already arrived.
"The dean went to St. Doragon College to participate in the magician education seminar." As the vice dean and the only two high-level magicians in Huolian College, Mrs. Lauren was first because of the present A solemn look was revealed in the tragic situation. Then he said to Xiwei: "I will try to contact him, but I won't be able to come back in a short time."
Obviously, the vice-president may have profound magic skills, but his ability to grasp the mood of the students is too bad.
Her words caused another sign of commotion among the students who had already begun to feel relieved, and Xiwei's previous efforts were put to the flames.
"Notify your classmates and friends. During this time, you will all take refuge in the auditorium. Try not to act alone. As long as there are enough people, it will be fine even if there are really headless monsters."
Sieve, who knows the fear of human words, immediately said to the students. If the rumors and riots were really allowed to occur, it would undoubtedly worsen the situation for the current Huolian Academy.
His words were well executed by the students. They left one after another to go to the auditorium with their close classmates and friends.
Then he said to the more familiar Professor Barnik: "Can Mr. Barnik take Peter... uh, the boy with the round face to the infirmary? He may be a witness to this incident, if he can It’s best to ask him about the whole process."
Barnik is obviously a little uncomfortable with Sevi's familiarity... It is not an honor to be a middle-level magician but defeated to a beginner. But Xiwei's proposal is not wrong. In addition, his tone was not an assignment but a discussion, so Barnick agreed to Xiwei's words very slightly, and took the round-faced boy who seemed to have not recovered to the infirmary.
"Take advantage of this time, let's find out the troll first!" Sivi said to the other professors, and then Sophia asked, "Sophia, can you let the librarians close the library early?" "
The library of Huolian College has a rich collection of books. Therefore, there is also the possibility of coveting others. However, its defense system is also very complete, as long as it officially enters the closed state. Even if a high-level magician wants to break through, it will take a lot of time.
"If the library is closed, I can go alone." Sophia said: "The other part-time librarian students should have taken refuge in the auditorium."
"It's too dangerous to be alone." Sivi shook his head. Rejected her proposal.
"Then teacher, I'll go, too." Alyssa, who didn't work, also said to Xiwei. Not only her, but even Tio and Alice volunteered.
Although Xiwei is still not at ease, they are the only professors who can win against the monsters now. Eleven people wanted to search this huge castle in a short time, but they were already stretched out.
"Ms. Lauren, can I change the patrol area with you?" Sivi thought for a moment and asked the deputy chief who was hanging by him. The area patrolled by the vice-president includes the library. As long as the patrol route is changed, it should be no problem to send Alisha and the others to the library. After that, they can return on the same road that has been determined to be safe. .
"No problem." Mrs. Lauren thought for a while, and finally agreed to Sevi's proposal.
She is not a fool, and naturally knows what Xiwei means. As one of the few people who know that Xiwei has the Merlin Medal, it doesn’t matter if this kind of favor is given to such a genius who has soared so fast: "But before that, who can recognize that poor student? Is it? I need to write a letter of funeral to his family."
The other professors looked at each other. Even a well-known magician could not restore the appearance of the victim with a tuft of meat sauce. It seemed that he could only check the student list in the auditorium later.
There is one exception here.
"The victim is Basha Dursley." Xiwei used the ability of his mage hat to determine the identity of the victim.
However, when he blurted out the name, he was stunned.
He didn't know what he had forgotten until now!
There is indeed a boy named Dursley in this year's year, but he only appeared once in the first class of Xiwei. After being criticized by Xiwei, he never took Xiwei's class again.
It was precisely because of this that he didn't think of such a student when he heard Dursley's surname at first.
Is this surname a coincidence... or is it another reason?
For example, because he got clues about Lange's treasure from his parents, he wanted to find that treasure. As a result, the guardian of the treasure was offended by the headless monster?
These thoughts just flashed through Xiwei's mind, and they didn't show up in particular. Now there is no need to add other troublesome items.
After reconfirming the response policy, they dispersed and patrolled.
By the way, the area that Barnick usually patrols is shared by several nearby professors.
"But it's really weird." Walking next to Sivi, Alice tilted her head and said in confusion: "According to the seven incredible things, the headless troll lord should only appear at night?"
"It may be because the sky is too dark, so it's considered night by that guy." Xiwei said casually.
"Speaking of it, tomorrow will be a bi-monthly night." Alice suddenly started talking about an unrelated topic.
However, Xiwei understood what she meant: "You mean that painting that will become a Shura scroll?"
"If there is still no way to find the Lord of the Headless Trolls this time. Maybe I can find some clues from somewhere!" Alice seemed to be very interested in this kind of thing, and kept swaying Xiwei to look.
If there is no troll incident, Sevi’s response is definitely a rejection, but now that the seven incredible headless trolls have been confirmed to appear, the other incredibles have some special meanings. Maybe.
Furthermore, it was strange to hang a picture made with the special paint of wormwood in the academy. And if it's really that simple, then why doesn't the college come out to refute the rumors?
But from another aspect, if the hanging paintings that belong to the college really contain that kind of clue. So other professors should have discovered it a long time ago, right? After all, as a magic school. There are always more wise people than fools.
Thinking of this, Xiwei suddenly came back to his senses: Why do you think so much, if you can find the monster and kill it in one breath, everything will be fine?
"I still hope that things will end here." He sighed. Compared to the feeling that the dark clouds are overwhelming the city, Xiwei still prefers the usual laid-back atmosphere: "But if If you really can’t find a clue, you might go to see that painting and choose one."
At this moment, Alyssa asked suddenly: "Teacher. Since there are a few other incredible existences, just ask the armor with a hundred questions and answers, "Where is the treasure?" or "The hiding place of the trolls." Will it be easy to solve the problem?"
"Well. The reason why the incredible is incredible is because there is no way to think with common sense." Alice thought about Alyssa's question in distress for a while. In the end, she could only give an ambiguous answer-it seemed that she didn't know what was going on.
"Let’s admit that all the unthinkables exist." Sophia, who had always been out of the topic at this time, spoke. Because of the appearance of the headless monster, she finally had to admit those unwillingly. The existence of things: "But even if it exists, it is only a product created by using certain magic or alchemy principles. The headless monster must be the effect of curing the undead magic, and the armor with all questions and answers must be only a magical with language ability. Occasionally!"
Syvey looked at Sophia, stroked her chin, and said thoughtfully: "Why do you always want to deny the existence of that kind of thing, Sophia...Are you afraid of the incredible?"
"It's not!" Sophia decisively denied: "I just hate to attribute all unexplained things to abnormal phenomena!"
While they were talking about moving towards the library, Tio suddenly stopped and looked out the window.
Sevi, who had been paying attention to her surroundings, immediately noticed her abnormality, and stopped and asked: "Tio, what's the matter?"
"Bats." The little girl pointed out the window: "Many bats."
After hearing this, Xiwei also leaned to the window and looked out.
I saw in the gray rain curtain, a lot of black shadows were vaguely hovering in groups in the distance. Because the distance was enough, the warning enchantment was not triggered. So the Eye of Sauron did not activate.
The number of that level can no longer be explained by natural phenomena. Moreover, the trajectory of their flight seemed irregular at first glance, but Xiwei always felt that something was wrong.
"It's too rainy, I can't see it at all."
Although the torrential rain also affected the opponent's flight. But it has also become the best protective color. If it hadn't been for Tio to find out, I am afraid that even if Xiwei accidentally looked out the window, he would not have noticed the abnormality.
"Alyssa, Tio, Alice. You follow the way back. Mrs. Lauren shouldn’t have gone far yet. Go and tell her about the situation." After that, Sevi took out another one. The silver scepter was handed to Tio: "Compared to me, it is better for a high-level magician to distinguish this situation."
The sceptre is bright silver all over, with a metallic sheen, but it doesn't weigh a bit at first. The stick body is also covered with mysterious patterns. A dark purple diamond-shaped gemstone is inlaid on the top, and four cyan magic patterns are suspended around the gem. A green halo links those magic patterns and looks amazing.
Even if you don't touch, you can feel the excitement of the wind element around the scepter.
This is one of the rewards Xiwei received after completing the mission of the "Most Popular Teacher", the short rod named [Platinum Xunfeng].
The attributes are very good. In addition to increasing the magic transfer rate of the wind element, it also adds extra lightning damage. In addition, there is [Magic +5], an attribute that allows Tio, who is currently in a weak state of magic, to use magic.
"This [Platinum Xunfeng] was originally intended to be given to you when you can perform the water-seeing pose. But now the situation is urgent. So I made an exception and gave it to you first." Xiwei touched his face and revealed it. Tio's little head, with a happy smile, said with a slight adoration: "Do you know if you want to listen to Alyssa on the road."
Then he told them several times to be careful on the road before watching them leave.
After sending away Alyssa and the others, Sevi and Sophia became alone. Without the maid and two little girls who can liven up the atmosphere, their own atmosphere seems a little dull.
"But, that guy is pretty unlucky. He actually encountered the headless troll twice in a row." Sivi tried to open the topic from other places.
"Who are you talking about?" Sophia's voice sounded the same as usual, but because she deliberately walked half a step ahead of Sevi. So Xiwei couldn't see her blushing cheeks.
Rejoicing that the dialogue was established, Sevi continued: "That's the little guy named Peter K Lawrence. Didn't he also say that he heard the voice of the troll? At that time, you even came forward to help him. Of."
"Oh. That guy." When Sevi said so, Sophia seemed to remember.
But I just remembered it, and didn't seem to intend to discuss this in depth.
The silence between the two remained until the library.
The current library is filled with the peculiar smell of paper and ink as usual, but the difference is that the current library is empty and there is no one.
On the contrary, the book return area at the front desk is full of books that the students have just returned, and some students have not had time to put the books in the book return area, just spread them on the table, even the pile that Xiwei borrowed. The subscriptions are all left in the reading room, not put back in their original places.
But now is not the time to continue to put the book back together.
After checking the library a little bit, it was confirmed that there was no sign of intrusion from the outside~IndoMTL.com~ Sophia planned to officially close the library.
However, she suddenly found that Xiwei's gaze was fixed on a large hardcover book at the book return office.
The girl looked curiously at the name of the book-"Omast Ancient and Modern Surnames", the subtitle is "Let you know that those surnames come from development".
Compared with learning materials, more students use this kind of book as a story book, because the textual research on the origin of the surnames in it are all twists and turns or bizarre stories.
But apparently Siwei is not a person who forgets what is going on just because he reads the story.
"Are there any new discoveries in it?" Sophia glanced at the part Sevi was looking at, but didn't see anything particularly noteworthy in it, so she asked simply.
"The missing piece of the puzzle..." Sivi picked up the book, read it carefully, and then showed a dazed expression on his face: "Finally I found it."
"Although the truth of this incident is not very clear, it is already clear." Putting the book back at the book return office, Xiwei said to Sophia solemnly, "Next, it's time to solve the case. ." (To be continued..)
