Chapter 202 Doubt(1/2)
Qingkong was determined not to hand over the Book of Disaster, which made Vice President Hervey very embarrassed. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to establish his prestige in Oulu College, but so many college administrators could not suppress a newcomer.
Professor Elf.
The disparity in strength prevents Vice Dean Hervey from using force to grab her. Moreover, there are rumors that Qingkong is a disciple of Dean Wilred. This elf is very popular in Oulu College and Raging Wave City. There is no conclusive evidence.
Under such circumstances, you must not touch her.
But...just let her go?
Recently, many rumors about the disaster a hundred years ago have suddenly appeared within the college. For students who are extremely curious, these rumors can have very little warning effect. Most students will only feel irritated and will do a lot of outrageous things.
action.
Vice President Hervey could sense that there was a dangerous turbulence brewing within the academy, and the appearance of the black eclipse spirit put him under great pressure.
The disaster of the past must never happen again in the academy.
Faced with Qingkong's momentum, Vice President Elvi did not retreat at all: "Professor Qingkong, without evidence, the college will not attack any faculty or students for no reason. If you insist on keeping the Book of Disaster,
We will not take enforcement action.
But now that a crisis has emerged, the college must take precautions.
I have several demands for the Department of Occult Studies: First, until the matter is investigated or Dean Willred returns, the Department of Occult Studies should stop recruiting students and faculty.’
Qingkong withdrew the pressure on Elvi, her eyes returned to their normal green color, and she answered without much thought: "Okay. This matter has obvious signs of targeting me and the Occult Department. The Occult Department is not suitable for this matter."
Scale up.”
"Second, the Department of Occult Arts must cooperate with the college's investigation, and your occult research topics must be disclosed to the college."
Qingkong thought about it and replied: "It is the duty of the Occult Studies Department to cooperate with the academy's investigation, but it is a bit difficult for us to disclose the Occult Studies research topic. Don't regard the Occult Studies Department as a suspect. The Occult Studies Department needs more protection at this time."
"Professor Qingkong, the college's investigation into the Department of Occult Arts is to eliminate the suspicion of the Department of Occult Arts.'
"If there are any problems in the Secret Art Department, we will investigate ourselves. The research on Secret Art is highly private and accidental, and external interference will seriously affect the progress of Secret Art research. If you want to know anything, you can contact me and I will try my best to answer your questions.
question."
Qingkong clings to the Arcane Academy to prevent anyone's influence from infiltrating. Although the Arcane Academy has nothing to do with the Abyss, some research cannot be known to outsiders.
"Professor Qingkong, the Department of Occult Arts belongs to the college. What you do will only increase your suspicion."
"I am already very suspicious in your eyes, and I don't care if I add a little more." Qingkong put on the magician's hat: "As long as I am the head of the Secret Arts Department, I will protect the Secret Arts Department. It is yours to find out the truth.
Don't mess with me until there is evidence and results.
Qingkong took one last look at the Black Eclipse in Professor Lennon's hand, and walked out alone, ignoring the room full of college administrators and not listening to Dean Hervey's requests.
"Deputy Dean Hervey, what should we do?'
"The Book of Disaster is dangerous in Clear Sky's hands."
"Yes, she is a very young elf, but she possesses such terrifying strength. We are not sure...whether this is a power obtained from the abyss.'
"We can write to Dean Willred and let him know what happened here."
Vice President Hervey said: "We should write to Willred and inform him of what is happening here. But Willred is not here, so he may not be able to give us correct guidance. The matter has not developed to the point where he is needed.
To determine the extent of the emergency return, let’s first investigate the source of this black eclipse spirit.
Professor Lunnon, what kind of assistance do you need from the college as a battle mage?"
Professor Lennon's hands formed a protective shield, protecting the glass bottle containing the black eclipse spirit inside, so that the glass bottle was not damaged in the previous confrontation.
The black eclipse spirit in the bottle kept attacking his hands
"The battle mages need to activate some of the equipment in the academy's arsenal. If the truth really points to Clear Sky, the battle mages need to have the strength to fight her.'
Professor Lennon's request made Vice Dean Elvey think deeply.
The Oulu Academy arsenal stores the magic and alchemy results developed since the academy was founded. Some of the things in it are unique due to the death of the magician or the rarity of the materials. Dean Wilred's Wand of Wisdom is the academy's
The collection in the weapons arsenal shows how top-quality the equipment inside is.
The Oulu Academy weapons depot has always been the last line of defense to protect the academy. The disaster a hundred years ago, and it was the opening of the academy weapons depot that allowed the Oulu battle mages to finally defeat the abyss mages who threw themselves into the abyss.
The weapons depot is in a strong independent space, and the key to enter is in the hands of the dean. When the dean needs to leave the college, it will be temporarily handed over to the person who acts as the dean temporarily in case of emergency.
Before Dean Willred went to the imperial capital this time, he handed over the magic key to the weapons arsenal to Vice Dean Hervey.
The strength that Qingkong just demonstrated makes it impossible for the academy to subdue her without making heavy sacrifices. And once there is evidence that Qingkong is in contact with the abyss, the Oulu Battle Mage will have to face this terrifying opponent head-on.
However, opening up the academy's arsenal will also have major hidden dangers.
Hervé finally realized the weight of the burden on Wilred's shoulders. As the dean of Oulu College, every decision on such a major matter must not be wrong.
"If necessary, I will open the academy's weapons library to battle mages. But now we have only discovered a black eclipse spirit, and there are some rumors from unknown sources. Things are far from uncontrollable.
Now we must maintain the stability of the college and not let panic spread. What students need is not this kind of pressure, but a learning atmosphere.
Regarding the Black Eclipse Spirit, no one is allowed to tell it except those who know it now. The Battle Mage investigates secretly, keeping a low profile externally and being strict internally, and tries to find the place where it first appeared as soon as possible.
After you go back, you must stop the rumors from a century ago from continuing to spread on campus. Give students more homework so that they have less time to fool around."
The administrators of all the colleges responded together: "Yes, Vice President Hervey."
Elvi finally told Professor Lennon: "The battle mage should try to avoid directly investigating the Department of Occult Arts and Qingkong. If you find any clues related to them, let me know first, and we will find a solution together.'
"I understand, Vice President Hervey."
"Okay, everyone, please go back first. The college will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will it allow gangsters to do whatever they want here!"
An emergency meeting of the college's top management was held due to the appearance of the black eclipse spirit. The college was operating according to its schedule, and everything was still a relaxed learning atmosphere. However, unnoticed by the students, an investigation into a potential crisis was underway.
Qingkong continued quietly. After returning to the Academy of Occult Arts, Qingkong synthesized his existing clues and analyzed who was behind these things secretly.
I have to admit that what the other party did this time was much more clever than the two times that the Abyss Temple came to cause trouble. A black eclipse spirit put himself and the Secret Arts Department as suspects, and also chose Wilred
At the time of his absence, distrust caused obvious divisions within the academy.
Qingkong summoned the Book of Disaster, and this mysterious brick-like prop floated in the palm of her hand.
The other party's purpose...is it the Book of Disaster?
Gianni asked at this time: "Professor Qingkong, you were very worried when you came back from Vice President Elvey. Is that really a black eclipse spirit?'
Qingkong took back the Book of Disaster with his backhand, and then replied to Jennifer: "It's the Black Eclipse, but I don't know where it came from. The battle mages are investigating, and I believe there will be results soon."
"
Jennifer said worriedly: "Before that disaster happened, there were many black eclipses in the college, and some faculty and students were infected by them. The college invested a lot of manpower and material resources in researching this kind of thing, until the Abyss Mage
When it started to attack, we learned that it came from the abyss and could affect people's minds.
Professor Qingkong, if a black eclipse spirit is discovered, there may be more black eclipse spirits spreading within the academy.’
Qingkong considered Jenniferni's worries and comforted her: "The Book of Disaster is in my hands. I have never used it to open the abyss, so the black eclipse spirit discovered must be a relic from a hundred years ago. Regardless of whether it comes from the abyss.
There are not many temples or other ways.
But your worry is not unreasonable. There may still be black eclipse spirits in other parts of the college, and someone may be infected by it.
"Professor Qingkong, what should we do?"
Qingkong said: "Although this matter was handed over to the battle mages by Vice President Elvi for investigation, we can't just wait for the news. You have experienced the disaster a hundred years ago...Will this happen?
Reminds you of bad memories?"
Jennifer adjusted her hair that covered her eyes, and said with a firm gaze: "The bad memories have reappeared, and escaping is useless. A hundred years ago, my companions and I sacrificed our lives for the academy, and a hundred years later, I am still willing to fight for the academy.
Professor Qingkong, if you have any tasks, you can safely leave them to me."
Jenniferni's fighting spirit was high, as if she had returned to a time a hundred years ago. At that time, the college was flooded by war, and innocent people died under the indiscriminate attacks of the Abyss Mage. These students were recruited as Oulu Battle Mages, and fought against the Abyss.
The mages repeatedly fought for every building and room in the academy.
The abyss mages who embrace the abyss are powerful, and these student armies are simply dying to fight against them, but no one flinches.
Sensing Jennifer's fighting spirit, Qingkong smiled and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. Creating tension in the academy and making us all suspicious is exactly the purpose of the enemy this time.
Since the Black Eclipse is being investigated by the battle mages, we will find out how the rumors related to the disaster a hundred years ago spread. Didn’t you say that there are senior boys who like to chat with you? "
Jennifer, who was ready to give it a try, suddenly became shy when Qingkong teased her like this.
"I know my situation. I need to eat blood and wine to keep my body temperature the same as normal people. If someone finds out, they will treat me as an undead vampire. I never talk to them too much.
Although Jennifer does not need to drink dragon blood wine now, she still needs to drink specially prepared blood wine regularly to maintain her living form. "Vampires don't dare to walk in the sun." Qingkong said: "Those boys who only pay attention to your appearance.
, will not discover your true situation.
My appearance is too eye-catching, and students won’t tell too many truths to me. Not many students in the college know you, and you know very well what happened a hundred years ago... Distinguish the rumors and find the source of the suspicion, it’s me
A mission for you."
Rumors will gradually change during the broadcast process. Jennifer can distinguish the initial appearance of the rumors, which helps to find the source in reverse.
"Yes, Professor Qingkong, leave this matter to me.'
"Don't be too anxious. These tricks used by the other party are far from achieving the goals they want. The main job of the Occult Arts Department is still the teaching task, and the investigation can be done in your free time."
"I understand, Professor Qingkong."
At this time, Vice President Hervey's office turned into a water curtain hole, and the ice created by the clear sky was melting, making the room feel like rain.
