Act 380: The choice of two routes V(1/3)
The warlock of the Star and Moon Tower set up a platform in the center of the arena to monitor the game. The secret guards brought Laila there. The crowds around were afraid of avoiding it and spread out into an open space under the high platform. The magicians of the council stood on the stage and looked at the girl from the Lynn family, with different expressions on their faces.
The girl with black glasses only lowered her head slightly, holding the magic wand tightly in her arms with one hand, and unconsciously holding the robe with the other hand. A varicose veins appeared on the back of her pale hand due to excessive force.
Many different eyes also cast from the crowd around her and fell on the latter, making her seem isolated and helpless. There was only a young man from Kaolin standing not far behind the girl, watching this scene. Many gossips came from behind Luo Yu, allowing the young man to hear the sarcastic words:
"This is the bastard of the Lynn family."
"How did the Astrology Institute agree to her admission?"
"It's not the scum of Reus. I heard that he has something to do with the liar Jazz."
"Sir Reus is also a person with a false reputation, right?"
"Who knows, but the people from the Lynn family are really deadly-"
"The Astrology Academy is so embarrassing."
The people of Rocheberty College gloated, and the former classmates of Laira also looked at her with anger. Even those ordinary people who are unwilling to be with bullies on weekdays, they are somewhat dissatisfied with the girl.
Although Luo Yu understood the situation of the descendants of the Lin En family and knew that Laila would be cursed in the astrological courtyard, it was still not as good as the empathy at this moment. He couldn't help but sigh slightly - everyone was more or less trapped in his own heart, and thus unintentionally hurt others. He had been deeply hurt by it, but he was still unable to change all this.
He gently grasped his elemental staff.
——It’s just that today is different from the past.
Not only did the rumors not knock down Laila, the girl also raised her head slightly. Although her face still lost a lot of blood and looked slightly pale, she still withstood the wind and rain, proving that she was no longer the cowardly girl she used to be.
The sorcerers of the Star and Moon Council were now watching Luo Yu on the high platform and whispered:
"who is he?"
"A Saint Selected, the Cowlin man, is said to be the other party's coach. This is a colleague from afar, so there is no need to ask more."
Luo Yu's identity made them somewhat cautious, even if he was a saintly elected person, the high-level magician was not such a bad thing even in the empire. At that time, only the dean could talk to Luo Yu in the entire Astrology Academy. Reus was another one, but this jazz was indifferent and unrighteous. In addition, there was only an old scholar in the library who had been in the past and had been experiencing the scriptures.
The seven or eight warlocks who monitor the competition sent by Star and Moon Tower are all high-level magicians, but these people are usually scattered everywhere and are not so easy to gather. Moreover, these magicians are all elites from various families.
The mentor sent by the Astrology Academy did not have any prejudice. The other party just looked at Laila gently and said, "Laila, have you just cast the Second Ring Spell?"
Leila looked at her and nodded slightly.
The mentor was even more kind and said to her: "When the competition is over, if it is proven that you have not cheated, you can be promoted to second grade and join the Astrologer branch. There are geniuses there, and one day you may be like them."
She stretched out her hand: "Can you let me see your hand, Laila?"
Laila didn't understand the intention and stretched out her right hand. The other party held her hand and it was cold. She put Laila's hand lightly between her palms, carefully checked the area between her thumb and index finger, and cast a spell there.
The tutor looked at a glimmer of light, nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Laila with a gentle voice: "Don't worry, Laila, the adults of the Parliament are just to calm the doubts of Robeshadi Academy. They will distinguish right from wrong and give you a clean one."
Leila was a little nervous. She had never been so concerned. Even Sir Reus, she was not good at showing feelings.
She looked up at the other person, and couldn't help feeling a little warmth in her heart. The female tutor only smiled at her: "When you are promoted to second grade, you can become my student. You don't have to worry about Sir Reus, he only cares about the freshmen in the first grade."
Luo Yu watched the scene coldly.
The mentors sent by Rocheberty Academy naturally had no good expression on them, but the other party did not blame them too much. They just looked at Leila coldly, and then asked the Star and Moon Council for verification.
The Star and Moon Council sent several mentors. They first checked Lail's magic triangle like the female mentor in the Astrology Academy. Elemental spells will occur in the area between the thumb and index finger and leave a mark there.
The warlocks quickly came to a consensus conclusion and nodded to each other to confirm this. The next step was to check the magic equipment on Laila. Over the years, students have entered the arena to cheat by hiding some gadgets.
Although the information says that Laila is a poor student and should not be able to afford too clever magic props, unexpected situations are not ruled out. The warlocks still do routinely, and give a finger to Laila a little and cast a reconnaissance spell on her.
An invisible wave blew by, and only the magic wand in his hand radiated dazzling light.
"What is this?" The tutor of Robeshadi Academy pointed at another glimmer of light between Leila's waist bag.
"This is my school magic weapon."
"Holfen School?" the other party frowned.
"It used to be, but now it belongs to our interest club." The girl bit her lower lip and tried to make herself look neither humble nor arrogant.
The tutors of Robeshadi Academy stopped talking, and the sorcerers of Star and Moon Tower looked at each other and nodded. The academy competition allowed to carry magic weapons, and the magic wand was essentially a magic weapon, while some schools had their own special magic weapons.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! For example, the Magic Book can be regarded as a special type of magic weapon.
In addition, everyone also needs to carry a magic furnace, otherwise the magicians will even cast spells and what other games will be discussed?
The rule set by the Academy Competition is that everyone can carry no more than five magic weapons. The magic glow reaction on Laila can be said to be penniless. Now the warlocks of Lianxing and Moon Tower looked at her and couldn't help but appreciate it.
In any country, changing destiny through one's own efforts is worthy of appreciation; even aristocrats often have to agree with such values, and setting such examples in the social field is beneficial to their rule.
No matter what the girl was from, she has come to this point.
What's more, there are also many magicians from the lower class in the Tower of Stars and Moons. Some descendants of the little nobles actually live much better than ordinary people. If people forget about her origin in the Lynn family for the time being, then this should undoubtedly be a very excellent trainee magician.
The sins committed by Ash Lynn may not be borne by his descendants. At least this girl should be innocent. The warlocks looked at the girl with a little pity.
"It's almost over here," they concluded: "This little girl may be a genius, and unconscious spells may happen."
"So can we draw a conclusion?"
They nodded at each other.
"Wait a minute!" but a voice interrupted.
The sound came from the crowd, causing people to turn their eyes. The sound was the students on the scene, because there were only such young people present.
The crowd separated automatically, and it was indeed revealed that the next few young people were staring at Leila with a gaze of resentment and jealousy, and said loudly to the people around him: "No, she shouldn't be there at all. I can testify that this woman could not cast spells less than half a year ago-"
"Ellion, Juno, you guys?" Leila looked at her former companion in disbelief.
"What are you talking about?" The warlocks' faces became gloomy. Where did these unruly young boys come out? But just as they were about to teach these ignorant young people a lesson, someone on the side reached out to stop the warlocks.
The mentor from Rochapeldi Academy walked up to them, "Why not listen to what these young people said?"
"Sir, this is not in line with the rules."
"But they are witnesses, and they testify voluntarily," said the Rochapeldi tutor. "If what they say is true, it proves that cheating is true. If they are just slander, of course they should bear the punishment they deserve," he looked at the people, "Would you be responsible for what you say?"
Looking at the group of high-level magicians with an unexpected expression, Eleon, who was the first to speak, hesitated for a moment, but he immediately thought of the people he met, with anger in his eyes, "Of course I can be responsible for this."
"I have to remind you that this is no joke. It may involve the reputation of an innocent person, the fairness of a game," the instructor was a little serious. "You dare to swear to the icon of the God of Knowledge, what you say is true?"
"We...uh...of course." Elyon blushed and stammered.
However, no matter how hesitated they dared to swear by Angine, it was a certain persuasion. It was the most common belief in the place of Sinta'an, except for the sun's faith. Its believers ranged from princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns.
Here, there are also a large number of believers among the Oshuman magicians. As for other aspects, which can be completely explained as nervous in the eyes of others, they are just college students, and it is completely understandable to feel nervous in this scene.
The mentor of Rochapeldi Academy looked at the warlocks of the parliament.
Hearing these young people swear to the holy image of the God of Knowledge, several high-level magicians had to become serious and asked, "Tell me, what evidence and testimony do you have?"
"We certainly have evidence, the magic wand in her hand," said Elyon. "We were also part of the Britta's community, but it was this woman who managed to squeeze us out. She always bewitched Britta's belief in her fallacies about the Holphin school. We have a little disagreement, and this cunning woman forced us to leave-"
"She claimed that she was a poor student from Roble, and had some kinship with Ash Lynn, and later claimed that she was the only heir to the Lynn family. At that time, we only knew that this woman was poor, but for the sake of a member of a club, everyone helped her from time to time."
"But the funds in the club are limited, so it's all our money. We all have to save money. Except for Brita, everyone in this team is actually in average family background. We are so reluctant to buy better magic weapons. Why does this woman have such a luxurious magic wand?"
Elyon looked at Leila standing there, and his eyes seemed to be so jealous that it seemed to be infuriating. "Because that was not her thing at all. This woman has the worst talent in the club, and she is full of lies. A few months ago, she didn't even have the most basic spell. But just half a year ago, she stood here and suddenly mastered the second ring spell?"
He gritted his teeth and said as he unfolded a wrinkled piece of paper: "All this is just because of those talents and the magic wand do not belong to her at all! Here is Mr. Ogneyan's testimony, beware that you don't know that Mr. Ogneyan is Brita's father, and he can prove that the magic wand is their family heirloom."
The young man whispered: "Everyone, if it is said that it is from the Lynn family, this woman's vain personality would never have mentioned this to us before. If you don't believe it, you will understand if you ask those who are familiar with her--"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Elyon moved aside and let someone come out behind him: "This is Mr. Pusher, the landlord of this woman. He has helped these women for several months for free, but has not charged her a penny of rent. Let him tell me if what I said is true."
The blood faded from the face of Laira, and she looked at the old man standing next to the young man in disbelief: "...Mr. Pushe?"
Luo Yu also saw the man clearly, which was the owner of the Gear and Magic Book, the old businessman Pushe.
Pusher stood there without answering, and nodded to everyone to show that what Elyon said was not false.
Luo Yu frowned and almost threw out a reconnaissance spell at the same time as the magician of the council beside him, but he did not detect any spells such as deformation or control of the confusion from Pushe.
The sorcerer in the council looked back at him, thought for a moment and said nothing. If Luo Yu was just an ordinary magician, he would naturally scold him, but the other party would naturally have the qualifications to be on par with him.
Elyon's words had already caused a huge uproar in the scene. There were both evidence and witnesses, which was enough to make people believe. Most people couldn't help but cast sympathy and contemptuous eyes on this young man, and sympathy was naturally their experience.
But the contempt is because most people present can see that this young man stood here because of jealousy. It was jealousy that caused this person to stand up to expose his former companions, whether it was his distorted face or resentful words.
It seems to be all explaining this.
But this makes everything seem reasonable. Humans are animals of interest and are willing to believe in the rationality of interests driving everything.
Only Luo Yu frowned. He thought about many possibilities, but he did not expect the other party to attack in this way. He looked at the old businessman standing there silently. The other party turned his head and deliberately refused to look at him. It seemed that he felt guilty.
But Luo Yu still realized that it was unnatural. Pushe had many problems in doing business abroad in his early years, which was why he settled down in Aiyin Bullock, and he owed a favor to the Lin En family.
According to the old man, there were actually some secret injuries on his legs, and he would appear a little lame due to neuralgia every rainy season. He spoke out bluntly, and it was used as a joke. But he remembered that when Pusher walked out of the crowd, he seemed to be just like ordinary people.
Luo Yu looked up at the gloomy sky.
The crowd was talking, and people couldn't help but think of the murder case that happened in the astrological courtyard a few days ago. The victim of the case seemed to be a girl named Brita. Could this Brita be Bibrita?
Many doubtful eyes couldn't help but fall on Laila.
The warlock of the Star and Moon Tower glanced at the young man in disgust, but was also a little cold to Laila. They turned around and asked in a business manner, "Miss Laila, is what he said true?"
Leila seemed a little overwhelmed, and she resisted her voice trembling: "No, no, this magic wand was given to me by my teacher Sir Reus."
All Elyon told lies.
