Act 380: The choice of two routes V(2/3)
With her personality, how could she accept everyone's help? Although Mr. Pusher confiscated her rent, she has been working on Gears and Magic Book to pay off the debt. In the club, Brita also regards her as an equal friend with her.
She has never accepted any gift from anyone in the club.
The girl looked at the young man in front of her with some fear, as if she saw a poisonous snake spitting out a letter. She never felt so distant and unfamiliar with people. How could the other party tell such a vicious lie so ordinary?
She has never done any of those things.
"She lied!" Elyon shouted: "We all know what kind of person Sir Reus is. How could a cold person like him give gifts to outsiders? You, a cunning woman, have already panicked to make everything reasonable for yourself!"
"I……"
Leila didn't know how to refute for a moment and her face turned red.
She is such a simple person. Brita protects her well on weekdays, but she has never seen such a scene.
But the warlocks of Star and Moon Tower did not ask him, but looked at the instructor of the Astrology Academy next to him. The instructor seemed a little hesitant, "Sir Reus and I are not very familiar with each other."
She looked at Laila and took two steps away without a trace.
It is this subtle action that makes the girl's slender heart fall into the abyss.
The sorcerer of the Star and Moon Tower summoned a staff member and gave him a few instructions. The staff member immediately left in a hurry, and the square was a little quiet for a moment - everyone knows that this matter is actually easy to expose. Just call Sir Reus and ask.
People's eyes were wandering on Layla and Elyon, and Luo Yu was also looking at the young man. Could Reus be his own person? He actually saw a hint of nervousness on Elyon's face, which made him wonder.
He had indeed suspected Reus' identity, or that no one in the Astrology Academy was worthy of his trust, but indeed, if Reus was willing to stand up and present evidence, he could give this matter a fatal blow.
There was no third person present when he presented Laila's magic wand. If he was willing to testify and guarantee his reputation, no one would believe the testimony of a college student like Laila.
What's more, because of her background, she is suffering from people's prejudice.
But the warlocks are still discussing:
"Even if the magic wand is not hers, it is not considered a violation of the rules of the game."
"But then she's a thief," said the tutor of Robeshadi Academy with confidence. "How could the victory of the college match be given to someone with such a poor character?"
The female tutor from the Astrology Academy frowned after hearing this.
But she looked at Leila and hesitated for a while without refuting.
The sorcerers of the Tower of Stars and Moons are doing their business. "Sir, pay attention to your words. This matter has not yet been finalized."
"I'm just talking about a possibility."
Even the referees were so cautious, and the crowds around them said everything.
Luo Yu frowned when he heard this, and turned around and threw a silence technique among the crowd, making the voice silent. The person who had been hit by the spell was about to attack, but when he saw the style of his robe, most of them stood back.
The warlock of the Star and Moon Tower glanced at him again, but did not speak.
In the empire, people like them are already qualified.
Luo Yu still seemed silent and did not speak from beginning to end. At least until now, the college was still within the scope of the program. He was not easy to interfere with outsiders, but just watched coldly.
After only ten minutes, a staff member returned and brought back news about Sir Reus:
"Sir Reus is not here, no one knows where he went."
“Not here?”
The sorcerer of Star and Moon Tower was stunned. He did not expect that things would develop in this direction. It was originally a very simple thing. Should we stop the academy competition first and wait until we prove that one of the testimony of both sides is false?
He was frowning, and at this moment someone hurriedly separated the crowd and came to the Star on the platform not far away with the Moon Speaker Valen Fuller, and whispered something next to the Speaker.
Valen Fuller's face immediately changed drastically. He turned around and looked at the man with a shocked look, asked a few questions in a low voice, and then said goodbye to the people around him to leave. However, the sorcerer of the Star and Moon Tower saw this scene clearly and immediately called the other party and said:
"Mr. Speaker, it's not going here yet. Where are you going?"
"Ah, this..." Valen hesitated for a moment, "Something happened in the Astrology Academy, I plan to go and have a look."
"Mr. Speaker, what's the matter? Is it related to Sir Reus?" asked the warlock of the Star and Moon Tower keenly.
"This..." Valen smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid it's a little bit."
A burst of laughter came from the crowd. Everyone knew that this Speaker was just a figurehead, but these elite warlocks of the Star and Moon Tower were just his subordinates, but now it seemed like they were the other party's boss.
Our Speaker didn't care about this. He seemed to want to make a fuss to reveal the topic for now, but the warlock asked, "Where is Sir Reus?"
"This..." Valen wiped his sweat and looked at Leila awkwardly, "Sir Reus may not be here for the time being. Someone found him... in the woods behind Milera's Church,...Sir Reus's body."
"No..." He shook his head immediately, "It should be said that it is not as serious as that. The situation is similar to Miss Brita. He has just been captured by someone... This, there is still room for recovery in everything."
He looked at Leila apologetically again, "This doesn't mean anything. When we save Sir Reus--"
Leila's face was bloodless - this blow was undoubtedly too heavy for her.
Although Sir Reus has always treated her very coldly, the other party is the only person in this academy who is willing to accept her and teach her knowledge.
His coldness was just his temperament. Not to mention that not long ago, he expressed his optimism and encouragement towards her, and gave her the magic wand.
She felt dizzy for a moment and fell backwards, but fortunately one hand held her from behind.
"No, why is this happening?" Leila was crying, a layer of mist floating on her glasses, and her voice was trembling, "Mr. Luo Yu..."
Luo Yu shook his head gently at her.
He actually expected that moment. If Reus was not the other party's person, then shutting up would be the best way to do it, just like Brita.
It’s a pity that he still woke up a little late, but before the last moment, how could those behind the scenes easily let him know that those people are enemies but not friends?
He only looked at everyone present silently.
It’s like standing in the center of a grand stage, watching everyone’s different performances on this stage, some people are vivid, while others are extremely clumsy.
The Speaker still tried to leave room for Huiwu, acting as if he was not a traitor from the Holphin School twenty years ago. He stuttered: "Everyone, there may be a conspiracy behind this, but we will definitely investigate everything..."
But someone interrupted him firmly:
"She is the murderer!"
The warlock of the Star and Moon Tower looked at the young man with an unexpected expression, and Eleon almost fell into madness: "The murderer is this woman, she was worried that her affairs would be exposed, she killed Sir Reus and Brita!"
But this is a bit confusing, and you can understand the doubts in it just by thinking a little.
Brita is okay, she is just a college student.
But why did Reus die at her hands? He was the tutor of the Astrology Academy, a high-level magician, and how could Leilahod kill a master of elemental envoys and protection?
"No, this is unlikely. You are more sober, this classmate," even Valen Fuller did not agree with this and shook his head. "As we all know, Sir Reus is a high-level magician, and he is a master of the protection school. Even without any precautions, he is not a trainee magician who can kill him."
"But she just cast the Second Ring Spell," Elyon shouted hysterically: "This woman is not an ordinary trainee magician. If she uses the Second Ring Spell, she can certainly kill an intern magician! Reus is her mentor, and of course she will not be more careful about her students. He will also fail if unexpectedly!"
Didn't you just say that she didn't know magic at all? Are those not frauds? Valen Fuller looked at the crazy young man for a moment and was speechless, but he shook his head.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents later! "Those are just your assumptions. There is no reason to show that Miss Leila will be happy to participate in this game here when she killed her mentor. It is illogical."
Valen Fuller actually explained to everyone: "Besides, she has no such motive. In order to cover up a magic wand, she killed her classmates and her mentor, and then used this magic wand. Do you want to say that Miss Leila intends to be fooled when everyone on the scene is a fool? There is no reason why the suspect will take the initiative to take the blame on her."
After hearing these words, a surprising light flashed in Luo Yu's eyes.
The development on this stage was completely beyond his expectations. Some of the enemies he had originally expected became friendly forces, while those who thought they should be on the side of Laila turned into enemies.
Now even this Speaker is acting normally. Isn’t the other party a traitor from the Holfin School twenty years ago?
Just a calm voice directly interrupted the Speaker's speech.
"No, Mr. Valen, you were wrong-" The owner of the voice appeared behind the crowd at some point, and made Luo Yu look in that direction, and his eyes froze.
Although it was a middle-aged man who seemed completely unfamiliar to him, holding a cane in his hand and looking a little gloomy. Luo Yu only pondered a little, realizing that he had not met the other party before.
He still remembers the sound.
During the battle of Aiyin Bullock that day, during that rainy night, he had heard this voice among the people who had commanded the Wind Knights and the conveners of the Death Arrival Guild.
If he was not wrong, there was another voice in the voice at that time - that young man, but the other party had been arrested in that great arbitration and was taken away by the Xingmen Port Special Operations Force.
Then the rest is this person.
Luo Yu suddenly raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the other person. He was sure at that moment that this was the person he had been waiting for for a long time - the mastermind behind the astrology courtyard.
He looked at the gloomy middle-aged man's outfit. The other party had a strange pattern on his neckline, which did not belong to any organization he remembered. It was like a hand, with a platinum-the surface half of it, and was generally dark red and gloomy-the other party's face was pale like a vampire, with only a short moustache on his lips.
He was staring at everyone present with a playful look.
"Who is your Excellency?" Valen Fuller obviously didn't know this man either.
But the middle-aged man didn't care and replied, "It's just a history enthusiast who is keen on investigating the truth twenty years ago."
He looked at Valen, and the speaker suddenly thought of something, looked at Leila's face and subconsciously took a step back.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Miss Leila claimed that she was Ash Lynn's daughter, and she was approved by Sir Reus in this identity and entered the Astrological Academy. But as far as I know, Ash Lynn had only one daughter in his life, and that was almost thirty years ago."
"Miss Leila, are you thirty years old this year?" he asked at Leila, "but no? Besides, it doesn't matter if you don't admit it, because you must be lying. Do you want to know why? No, I guess you must know why."
Leila's heart was pounding. She looked at the person with almost a little fear, and that vague and confused memory appeared in her heart again.
That was the thing she feared the most in her heart.
The middle-aged man looked at Valen Fuller again, and the Speaker couldn't help but lower his head and dared not look at him. But he didn't care, and looked at the others again. Finally, he only stopped on Luo Yu for a moment before speaking again:
"If you want to know the detailed reason, the answer is very simple, because Ash Lynn's daughter died prematurely thirty years ago, and shortly after that, his wife also died of illness because she missed her daughter," he smiled faintly.
"Ash Lynn never married a spouse in his life and was alone in the rest of his life. So under what circumstances did Miss Leila become the daughter of that Jazz?"
