Chapter 210 Grover Sees the Clear Sky
The Oulu Academy's counterattack was very swift. The Academy Committee meeting ended, and all cooperative research within the academy related to the City Alchemist Association was ordered to be terminated. At the same time, those Oulu mages who cooperated with the City Alchemist Association in Raging Wave City were also suspended.
The order came to return to the academy.
Countless new technologies being developed were stopped, and a huge earthquake broke out inside Raging Wave City.
Chancellor Grover floated by the window. It was still late at night outside, but there were people gathering outside the city's Alchemist Association building. The sudden evacuation of Oulu College's staff had a huge impact on various industries in Raging Waves City. If it could not be allowed
The cooperative research continues, which is a fatal blow to Raging Wave City.
Countless people were awakened from their sleep.
"What happened? Why is Oulu College so angry!" Speaker Grover turned to a man shrouded in black and asked, "Is it related to your killing of Francis?"
The man in black replied: "I don't know, Mr. Speaker. Our plan with Francis was discovered and used by a third party. I can only kill Francis to prevent worse things from happening."
"But something bad has already happened!" Grover said angrily: "Someone must have framed the incident at the Magic Botanical Museum on us, which triggered the anger of Oulu College. I told you, be careful! You must
careful!
But you never take my words seriously!"
"But Mr. Speaker, I had no choice at the time. If I didn't kill Francis, he would still be used to frame us. If he is dead, at least Oulu College has no direct evidence to prove anything.
We can explain to the College of Oulu... Such termination of cooperation will also be an immeasurable loss to the College of Oulu."
Grover looked at the man in black and didn't complain any more.
The enemy is in the dark and we are in the clear. Now the opponent can only use the death of Francis to make a fuss. If Francis is alive, it will only be more trouble!
"You are right. Our opponent is too despicable. You should eliminate all traces of Francis' contact with us as soon as possible. I will go to Oulu College to talk to Vice President Hervey."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker." The figure of the man in black faded and disappeared.
At this time, the assistant knocked on the door and walked in: "Sir Speaker, the Oulu Academy sent a mage to the Government Affairs Office to request an investigation of the information on the city's assistance to the academy in the aftermath of the disaster a hundred years ago."
"Go and help me and keep an eye on everything related to the Black Eclipse Spirit."
"As you command, Mr. Speaker."
After the assistant closed the office door, Speaker Grover waved his hand and opened a portal.
In Oulu College, the visiting Speaker Grover was coldly invited to a reception room, and Master Oulu who received him did not even pour Grover a glass of water.
The relationship between the new aristocracy of Raging Waves City, centered on the City Alchemists Association, and Oulu College has reached a freezing point, which makes Grover very uneasy.
But Grover still sat on the chair with an extremely calm appearance, and asked the Master of Oulu who was receiving him with great grace: "When can I meet Vice President Hervey, City Alchemists Association and Oulu College?
There were some misunderstandings, and I came here specifically to clarify some things with him this time."
Master Oulu replied in a very bad tone: "I'm sorry, Speaker Grover... Vice President Elvey is very busy, especially when bad things happen in the college.
The vice-president doesn't have time, but he has entrusted Professor Qingkong, the head of the Academy's Department of Occult Arts, to come see you.
Professor Qingkong should be arriving soon."
Clear sky!
This is the person Grover least wants to see when he comes to Oulu College this time.
But Qingkong had already opened the door and walked in.
Qingkong, who was wearing the magic professor robe of Oulu College, sat down and asked the receptionist Oulu mage to go out, then took off his magician hat and put it on his lap.
"I know why the Speaker came to Oulu College this time. After seeing me, I think you should also know the attitude of Oulu College.
The Oulu mages are very angry and the consequences will be serious!”
When he saw the clear sky coming, Grover knew that it would be several times more difficult to convince Oulu Academy. But no matter how small the chance was, he had to fight for it. The City Alchemist Association was really at a moment of life and death.
"Miss Qingkong... Oulu Academy's sudden suspension of cooperation with the City Alchemist Association was so sudden that we didn't even know what happened. If there is a misunderstanding between us due to someone's instigation, I can explain it."
Qingkong looked at Grover with a smile on his face.
"Is it really a misunderstanding? Speaker Grover, you and I both know the truth very well. What your men and Francis said was heard by the Chief Inspector of Meteor, and the Chief Inspector of Meteor also told me what he heard.
The Reform Society, the eldest princess, and our majesties all hope that Raging Waves City can maintain its status quo. I am not very interested in your power struggle. I just want to complete my research at Oulu College, but you come here anyway.
If you mess with me, you might even kill the students in the college to put the blame on me.
Speaker Grover, do you have anything to say?"
Speaker Grover didn't expect that the one following Francis was actually Meteor. So killing Francis would be like sending artillery shells to the Revolution Society to attack him. Meteor can do whatever it wants on a dead man.
But Meteor had just been involved in this case for less than a day, how could he find Francis so accurately.
"It must have been done by the meteor!" Grover felt that he had understood the mystery inside, and he said eagerly: "Miss Qingkong, you are a scholar, a magic professor at Oulu College, you will definitely be able to stand in the Oulu College
Treat the truth fairly and impartially.
I admit to you that Francis is working for me. He obtained some scientific research results from the University of Oulu for me. He even framed you...
We just don’t want you to become the next president of Oulu Academy, but we definitely did not set a trap under the ruins of the Magical Plant Museum. This must have been done by Meteor, he is an imperial agent, and his best thing is murder and framing. Miss Qingkong
, Dean Willred chose you as his successor because of your ability, which has nothing to do with the meteor.
The City Alchemist Agreement is willing to cooperate with the investigation of Oulu College, and we will let you see the true face of the evil of the meteorite."
Meteor was at the scene where Francis was killed, making Grover afraid to use the words he had prepared when he arrived. The financial fraud incident of the City Alchemists Association allowed Grover to see Meteor's ability.
Oulu College is already attacking the City Alchemist Agreement so fiercely now. If Meteor is allowed to continue to control it, God knows what kind of trouble he can cause.
The fear of the meteor made Grover confess to Qingkong. He knew that he had fallen into the trap set by the meteor, and he must expose the conspiracy of the meteor in order to escape from this trap.
Qingkong underestimated Grover's sensitivity to the name "Meteor". She didn't expect Grover to admit his relationship with Frances just like that.
This is to cut off the tail to survive and take on non-lethal responsibilities.
But Grover didn't know the true relationship between Clear Sky and Luke.
Qingkong said to Grover: "Your idea is very innovative. First tell me where the black eclipse spirit comes from?"
Seeing Qingkong listening to his guess, Grover said: "After the disaster at Oulu College a hundred years ago, the City Government Affairs Department sent people here to help treat survivors. At that time, some black eclipses were discovered. The City Government Affairs Department concealed the truth about Oulu
The college took away these black eclipse spirits and has been storing them until now.
Because you possess the Book of Calamity, in order to exclude you from the Oulu Academy, I gave one to Francis. He released the Black Eclipse in a safe place and was quickly discovered by the Oulu Battle Mage without harming anyone.
.
Miss Qingkong, please believe me. What I did was wrong, but I had no intention of harming anyone. The incident at the Magic Botanical Hall ruins had nothing to do with me, it was the work of the meteor."
"I found another black eclipse in the ruins of the Magic Botanical Garden. If you accuse the Chief Inspector of Meteor of setting up a trap in the ruins of the Magic Botanical Garden, where did he get the black eclipse?"
"This?" Speaker Grover didn't know how to answer: "We will find out if we capture Meteor and interrogate him."
"You asked Oulu College to assist you in arresting the Chief Inspector of the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Raging Wave City?"
The smile on Qingkong's face made Speaker Grover realize that things were not going in the direction he thought.
"Miss Qingkong, your relationship with Yuixing... shouldn't be enough for you to protect him."
"If this was really done by Meteor, of course I would not cover him. But we found a lot of things related to the remains of the Magic Botanical Garden from Assistant Professor Francis' apartment. The professionalism in them is not something that Meteor Chief Inspector can arbitrarily forge.
.
The Black Eclipse Spirit is beyond the reach of Meteorite Chief Inspector.
All the evidence points to you. Speaker Grover, if the ruins of the Magical Botanical Garden really have nothing to do with you, you should not kill Francis."
Yes, Francis is dead.
Killing him is definitely the biggest failure.
"Miss Qingkong, I apologize to you for our reckless behavior, but I think your prejudice against us has blinded you. Please let me see Vice President Hervey, and I can convince him to believe me."
Qingkong said: "Unless you present evidence, you can't convince anyone."
Grover said angrily: "Don't think you can stop me from seeing Vice President Elvey. If I can't see him today, I can come tomorrow."
"Professor Qingkong is right, you can't convince anyone without proof." At this time, the door opened, and Vice President Hervey walked in with members of the college committee.
Grover quickly stood up and saluted Vice President Hervey: "This is all a misunderstanding. I have no intention of offending Oulu College."
"But you have already offended." Vice President Elvey said with a very bad expression: "Me and the members of the college committee have been listening to the conversation between you and Professor Qingkong outside, and everything shocked us.
Stealing the scientific research technology of Oulu College, spreading rumors in the college, releasing black eclipse spirits, trying to interfere with the inheritance of the college... and even killed an assistant teacher.
You have admitted this yourself, so how can we believe that all this is just a misunderstanding? I believe that you did not intend to offend the Oulu Academy? "
Grover was already prepared for the current situation when he admitted those crimes.
"I am willing to accept punishment for my crimes. I can pay compensation and hand over the murderer who killed Assistant Teacher Francis. But the incident at the Magical Botanical Museum's ruins has absolutely nothing to do with us. Someone took advantage of Francis to frame me.
I welcome the investigation by the Oulu College, but please allow the cooperation between the City Alchemists Association and the Oulu College to continue until the truth of the matter is found out. Do not let innocent people suffer injustice and loss, and do not let the real criminals go unpunished."
Grover bowed to Vice Dean Elvey very sincerely.
Hervey asked Qingkong: "What do you think should be done?"
Qingkong thought for a while and replied: "The complete termination of cooperation with the City Alchemist Association will indeed cause losses to many innocent people. I suggest that all cooperation projects be re-examined. Cooperation with private research institutions can continue, and cooperation directly with the City Government Affairs Department
Collaborations with research institutions are cut by 50 percent.
Speaker Grover publicly apologized to Oulu College.
Hand over the murderer of assistant coach Francis..."
At this time, Speaker Grover said: "Please forgive me for not being able to apologize publicly. If this matter is made public, I will stay away from Raging Wave City for the rest of my life. I will hand over the murderer of Francis, and he will bear all the crimes."
Grover said very firmly.
Qingkong knew that forcibly bringing down Grover would only make the incident develop out of control. The fact that Oulu College was able to poach the City Alchemists Association was the biggest gain from this unexpected incident.
After Oulu College completely transfers the R&D system of Raging Waves City, it won't be too late to move Grover.
"Yes, Raging Wave City still needs Speaker Grover very much.
Oulu College will launch an investigation into the truth behind the incident at the Magic Botanical Garden, and the City Affairs Office and the Council of Raging Waves City must cooperate with us without reservation."
At this time, Grover has determined that all this is the conspiracy of Meteorite. As long as Oulu College finds out the truth, Meteorite will bear all the wrath of Oulu College. Without Meteorite, the Reform Society will soon be finished. What is lost now
, they will all come back when the time comes.
Endure the temporary pain to win the final victory!
Grover said readily: "This matter has nothing to do with me in the first place. Of course I am willing to fully cooperate with the investigation of Oulu College."
For Qingkong, if this incident can be continued to be investigated, there will be too much room for maneuver.
Qingkong said to Vice President Hervey: "Since there are still many areas that can be investigated in the incident of the Magical Botanical Museum ruins, it is necessary to continue the investigation. Only by finding conclusive evidence can the criminal be brought to justice.
These are the only measures I can think of, does the Vice President have anything to add?"
Vice President Hervey felt heavy self-blame for this incident, believing that his proud teacher's ethics had contaminated the gray stains.
Therefore, he said: "Professor Qingkong is very thoughtful. There are indeed many things that need serious investigation in the incident of the Magic Botanical Museum ruins. This matter will be left entirely to Professor Qingkong, and I will let Professor Lennon and Oulu Battle Mage cooperate.
your investigation.
I hope the truth can be found as soon as possible and the murderer can receive the punishment he deserves!"
Vice Dean Elvey gave Grover a deep look, then turned and left.
Chapter completed!
