The Dean Has Arrived

A student was attacked by a headless monster.

This is what Sophia told Xi Wei when she took him to the scene of the incident.

But when Xi Wei arrived at the scene of the incident near the infirmary on the second floor, where many students were already gathered there, he found that the scene was far from what could be explained by 'tragedy'.

At this moment, the wall that had been strengthened with the earth element magic was dented like dough that had been punched by a strong man, and in the middle of the depression, a corpse that no longer had a human figure was embedded in the wall. The corpse was like a crushed tomato, the muscle fibers, viscera, bone fat were all sticky and mixed together, and the bright red juice was sprayed radially into the pit, and the air was also filled with the unique rusty smell of blood.

Even Xi Wei, who had long been accustomed to corpses, couldn't help frowning, and used his body to block Alisa and Teo who followed along the way. Although they will be exposed to this cruel scene sooner or later as they grow up, it is too early for them now.

After seeing the corpse, the blood on Sophia's face faded immediately, and she seemed to be on the verge of falling, but she still tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, and subconsciously approached Xi Wei slightly.

Beside the corpse, a boy with a round face was kneeling weakly because of the great fright he had received. His face was pale, his lips kept opening and closing, but he couldn't make a sound.

It may be because the scene is too intrusive, even though there are many people watching, the scene is completely silent.

Going on like this is not good for the growth of those students.

Xi Wei looked around at the faces of the students around him, and then used the primary wind element application to amplify his voice transmittance several times before shouting loudly: "Calm down!"

They didn't wake up until his voice sounded like thunder on the ground, and they turned their eyes away from the corpse, and even a few students who were less courageous or less able to bear it vomited directly.

"Don't get close to the corpse, keep your distance!" I don't know if there is a saying to protect the scene in this world, but Xi Wei decisively began to act as a temporary commander based on the knowledge he learned from TV and the like: "Sophia, you Go get that boy over here."

The girl nodded, trying not to look at the disgusting pile of meat sauce, and carefully helped the round-faced boy away from the corpse.

"Alysateo. You go and find other professors." Xi Wei commanded methodically: "Alice, stop looking. I remember you can go in and out of the corridor of the talkative Teemo, go find the academy long!"

It may be that Xi Wei's calm appearance gave the students courage. They also gradually began to return to their previous appearance, looking at Xi Wei, who had temporarily become their backbone.

However, Alisa Tiou and Alice were unable to complete their tasks, because the professors had already arrived.

"The head of the school has gone to St. Doragon Academy to participate in the seminar on magician education." As the vice-principal and the only two high-ranking magicians in Huo Lian Academy, Mrs. Lauren first burst into tears because of the tragedy in front of her eyes. Gave a dignified look. Then he said to Xi Wei, "I will try to contact him, but I probably won't be able to come back in a short time."

Obviously, the vice president may have profound magical attainments, but his ability to grasp the students' moods is too bad.

Her words made the students who had already begun to calm down show signs of commotion again, and made Xi Wei's previous efforts go to waste.

"Notify your classmates and friends. During this period of time, all go to the auditorium to take refuge. Try not to act alone. As long as there are enough people, even if there are really headless monsters, nothing will happen."

Xi Wei, who knew the fear of people's words, immediately said to the students. If the rumors and riots were really allowed to happen, it would undoubtedly make things worse for the current Huolian Academy.

His words were well implemented by the students, and they left one after another to go to the auditorium with their close classmates and friends.

Then he said to the familiar Professor Barnick: "Mr. Barnick, can you take Peter...well, that round-faced boy to the infirmary? He may be a witness to this incident. If possible, it is best to By the way, ask him about the whole process."

Barnick was obviously a little uncomfortable with Xi Wei's familiarity... After all, it's not an honor to be an intermediate magician but lose to a beginner. However, Xi Wei's proposal was not wrong. In addition, his tone was not an assignment but a discussion, so Barnick still agreed with Xi Wei's words very seriously, and took the round-faced boy who seemed to have not recovered to the infirmary.

"Take advantage of this time, let's find the troll first!" Xi Wei said to the other professors, and then asked Sophia, "Sophia, can you ask the librarians to close the library early?"

The library at Horian College is well stocked. Therefore, there is also the possibility of causing coveted by 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 students who are part-time librarians should have taken refuge in the auditorium."

"It's too dangerous to speak alone." Xi Wei shook his head. rejected her proposal.

"Then teacher, I'll go too." Alisa, who had no effect, also said to Xi Wei. Not only her, but also Tio and Alice volunteered.

Although Xi Wei was still not at ease, the only ones who could win against the trolls were professors like them. Eleven people want to search this huge castle in a short time, and the manpower is already stretched.

"Ms. Lauren, can I switch the patrol area with yours?" Xi Wei asked the vice president who was left aside after a moment of consideration. The area patrolled by the deputy dean includes the library. As long as the patrol route is changed, it should be no problem to send Alisa and the others to the library, and then just return on the same road that has been determined to be safe. .

"No problem." Mrs. Lauren thought for a while, and finally agreed to Xi Wei's proposal.

She was not an idiot, so she naturally knew what Xi Wei meant. As one of the few people who know that Xi Wei has the Medal of Merlin, it doesn't matter if he gives such a favor to such a rapidly rising genius: "But before that, who can recognize who that poor student is? Is it that we need to write a funeral report to his family."

The rest of the professors looked at each other in blank dismay. Even a magician known for his wisdom couldn't restore the victim's appearance with a piece of meat sauce. It seemed that he could only check it against the student list in the auditorium later.

But there is one exception here.

"The victim is Basha Dursley." Xi Wei confirmed the identity of the victim with the ability of his mage hat.

However, when he blurted out the name, he froze.

He didn't know what he had forgotten until now!

There was indeed a boy named Dursley among the first-year students this year, but he only appeared once in Xi Wei's first class. Because Xi Wei named and criticized him, he never took Xi Wei's class again.

It was precisely because of this that he could not think of such a student when he first heard the surname Dursley.

Is this surname a coincidence... or is there some other reason?

For example, because he got clues about Lange's treasure from his parents, he wanted to find that treasure. As a result, it angered the guardian of the treasure, a headless monster or something?

These thoughts just flashed through Xi Wei's mind, and they didn't express themselves in particular. Now there is no need to add other annoying items.

After reconfirming the countermeasures, they scattered and started patrolling.

By the way, the area Barnick usually patrolled was shared by several nearby professors.

"But it's really strange." Walking beside Xi Wei, Alice tilted her head and said doubtfully, "According to the Seven Mysteries, the headless giant monster lord should only appear at night?"

"Maybe it's because the sky is too dark, that guy thinks it's night." Xi Wei said casually.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the night of the double moon." Alice suddenly talked about an unrelated topic.

But Xi Wei understood the meaning of her words: "You mean the hanging painting that will become Shura's scroll?"

"If you still can't find the headless giant monster lord this time, maybe you can find some clues somewhere!" Alice seemed to be very interested in this kind of thing, and kept urging Xi Wei to look at it.

If there were no giant monsters, then Xi Wei's reaction would definitely be to refuse, but now that the headless giant monster among the seven mysteries has been confirmed to appear, there may be some special meanings in the other mysteries .

Besides, it would be strange to have a picture painted with dragon's blood moxa special paint hanging in the academy. And if it's really that simple, then why didn't the academy come out to refute the rumors?

But from another perspective, if the hanging paintings that belonged to the academy really contained that kind of clue. Then the other professors should have discovered it long ago, right? After all, as a school of magic. There are always more smart people than dumb people.

Thinking of this, Xi Wei suddenly came to his senses: Why are you thinking so much? If you can find the giant monster and kill it in one go, everything will be fine?

"I still hope that the matter will end here." He sighed. Compared with the feeling of black clouds overwhelming the city now, Xi Wei still prefers the usual leisurely atmosphere: "But if you really want to If there are no clues, maybe looking at the painting is one of the choices.”

At this moment, Alisa suddenly asked: "Teacher, since there are several other inconceivables, then just ask the question-and-answer armor 'Where is the treasure' or 'The hiding place of the troll'?" Has the problem been easily resolved?"

"Hmm. The reason why it is incredible is that it is impossible to think with common sense." Alice thought about Alisa'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 just admit that those inconceivable things exist." Sophia, who had been out of the topic all this time, spoke. Because of the appearance of the headless giant, she could only reluctantly admit the existence of those things. : "However, even if it exists, it is definitely a product of using some kind of magic or alchemy principles. The headless giant must be the effect of solidifying undead magic, and the armor with endless questions must be just a puppet with language ability! "

Xi Wei looked at Sophia, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Sophia, why do you always want to deny the existence of that kind of thing... Could it be that you are very afraid of those inconceivable things?"

"No, no!" Sophia resolutely denied: "I just hate to attribute all things with unknown reasons to abnormal phenomena!"

Just as they were chatting and heading towards the library, Tio suddenly stopped and looked out the window.

Xi Wei, who had been paying attention to her surroundings, immediately noticed her abnormal state, and stopped to ask, "Tio, what's wrong?"

"Bats." The little girl pointed out the window: "There are a lot of bats."

Hearing that Xi Wei also went to the window to look out.

In the gray rain curtain, many black shadows could be vaguely seen wandering in groups in the distance. Because the distance was enough, the warning barrier was not triggered. So the Eye of Sauron didn't activate.

The quantity of that level can no longer be explained by natural phenomena. Moreover, their flying trajectories seemed irregular at first glance, but Xi Wei always felt that something was wrong.

"It's raining too much, I can't see clearly at all."

Although the torrential rain also affected the opponent's flight. But it has also become the best protective color. If it wasn't for Tiou's discovery, I'm afraid Xi Wei wouldn't have noticed anything strange even if he accidentally looked out the window.

"Alyssa, Tio, Alice. Go back the way you came. Mrs. Lauren shouldn't be far away. Go and tell her about the situation." After speaking, Xi Wei took out another silver short Handed the staff to Tio: "Compared to me, it's better for a high-level magician to distinguish this situation."

The whole body of the scepter is bright silver, with a metallic luster, but it doesn't weigh a bit in the hand. The body of the stick is also covered with mysterious patterns. There is a dark purple diamond-shaped gemstone inlaid on the top, and four cyan magic patterns are suspended around the gemstone. A circle of green halo links those magic patterns, which looks extremely magical.

Even if you don't touch it, you can feel the excited rhythm of the wind element around the staff.

This is one of the rewards that Xi Wei received after completing the task of 'Most Popular Teacher', a short staff called [Platinum Nanfeng].

The attribute is very good. In addition to increasing the magic transmission rate of the wind element, it also adds extra lightning damage. In addition, there is [magic power +5], which can make Tio, who is currently in a weak state of magic power, also use magic.

"This [Platinum Smoked Wind] was originally intended to be given to you when you were able to perform the Mizumi ceremony. But the situation is urgent now. So I made an exception and gave it to you first." Xi Wei touched the hair with a happy smile on his face Tiou's little head said with a little doting: "You know what Alisa says on the way."

Then he told the three of them to be careful on the road several times before watching them leave.

After sending Alisa and the others away, Xi Wei and Sophia became alone. Without the maid and two little girls who could liven up the atmosphere, their own atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

"However, speaking of it, that guy is quite unlucky. He actually encountered a headless giant twice in a row." Xi Wei tried to start the topic from other places.

"Who are you talking about?" Sophia's voice sounded the same as usual, but it was because she deliberately walked half a step ahead of Xi Wei. That's why Xi Wei couldn't see her delicate and blush cheeks.

While rejoicing that the dialogue was established, Xi Wei continued, "That's the little guy named Peter K. Lawrence. Didn't he also say that he heard the voice of the troll before? You came forward to help him at that time."

"Oh. That guy." After Xi Wei said that, Sophia seemed to remember.

But just thinking about it, it seems that there is no intention to discuss this topic in depth.

The silence between the two lasted all the way to the library.

The current library is filled with the unique smell of paper and ink as usual, but what is different from usual is that the current library is empty and there is no one there.

On the contrary, the book return at the front desk was full of books that the students had just returned, and some students didn't even have time to put the books in the book return, so they just spread out on the table. It was thrown in the reading room and has not been returned to its original place.

But now is not the time to leisurely continue putting the books back together.

After checking the library a bit and making sure that there were no traces of anything intruding from the outside, Sophia planned to officially close the library.

However, she suddenly found that Xi Wei's eyes were fixed on a large hardcover book at the book return office.

The girl curiously looked at the title of the book - "A Study of the Ancient and Modern Surnames of Omaster", the subtitle is "Let you know the origin and development of those surnames".

Rather than using this kind of book as a study material, more students read it as a storybook, because the research on the origin of surnames in it is full of twists and turns or bizarre stories.

But it was clear that Xi Wei was not someone who would forget about business because of reading the story.

"Any new discoveries inside?" Sophia glanced at the part Xi Wei was looking at, but didn't see anything particularly noteworthy inside, so she simply asked.

"The missing piece of the puzzle..." Xi Wei picked up the book, read it carefully, and then showed a surprised expression on his face: "I finally found it."

"Although the truth of this incident is not very clear, it is already in sight." Putting the book back at the book return place, Xi Wei said to Sophia with a serious expression: "Next, it's time to solve the case."! ~!
