The Dean Has Arrived

"Is it really important to catch Peter first?"

In the auditorium, the patrolling professors had already gathered, and after using the sound-isolating magic to prevent the students from overhearing their speech, Mrs. Lauren looked at Xi Wei.

Just now, Xi Wei had briefly told them about the situation.

Although she is the highest person in charge here on the surface, judging from what happened just now, it is clear that Xi Wei is better at handling the situation.

"Of course it's best to catch him, but we have to be prepared not to catch him. After all, there are too many mysteries in this castle, and the possibility of finding him is very slim." Xi Wei sighed, although it was bizarre The magic world in the world is very interesting, but it is also very helpless when it comes to this kind of time. Of course, if it is a great magician like Bruno, it is another matter.

"Then what should we do?" An old man with a red nose leaned his strangely shaped cane on the marble floor, making an aggressive sound. It seems that his temper is not very good: "Are you just waiting here to let that kid who is only an earl see a joke!"

Earl-level vampires and middle-level mages are almost the same in strength, okay? Even Barnick was instantly dropped by the opponent because of carelessness...

Xi Wei couldn't help but glanced at him, only to find that the crutch in the old man's hand was actually a very good staff. If the enemy didn't realize this during the battle, they might suffer a dark loss as soon as they met each other. Sure enough, there are not many mages who can enter the middle level, and they are all experienced old fritters.

It's a pity that being a human being is still a little bit worse-this is probably because magicians are in a respected position in human society.

"Actually, we don't need to worry that much," Xi Wei said, facing the old man's piercing gaze, "let's analyze it from the beginning. Whether human beings or blood races, everyone has a motive for their actions, even the so-called free-wheeling actions actually There is also a motive called 'self-satisfaction'. So what is Peter's motive for this action?"

Several professors looked at each other—isn't it normal for vampires to attack humans? Motives or something never occurred to them.

However, they were not stupid. After being guided by Xi Wei in this way, they immediately began to think.

Obviously, if it was just for appetite, he would absolutely not be able to sneak into the school at the risk of being spotted and blasted to pieces. So why did he make such a big fuss in the end...

Soon, they thought of a legend about the academy.

"Langer's treasure?" Mrs. Lauren asked Xi Wei uncertainly after seeing the same doubtful expressions on other people's faces.

"That's right, I investigated this matter with a few students not long ago. Then I found some clues from the past history of the school." Xi Wei nodded, confirming her guess.

After that, he succinctly stated the things about Dursley's students and his own series of inferences.

The first is about Dursley, although I don't know the specific relationship between him and that student back then. However, it is very likely that he returned to this academy because of the clues left by that student back then, and searched for the treasure again for reasons such as washing away shame or gaining strength.

Then, not long ago, Peter started spreading rumors about trolls. Even the footsteps in the night might have been made by Peter to add believability—so that if something troll-related happened, it wouldn't be too abrupt.

After the rumors of the troll subsided a little bit, and the head of the school who threatened the most had left the school, Peter suddenly acted.

Although it is not known whether he used First Embrace or other special native magic, he should have gotten clues about the treasure from Dursley. After that, he used magic like bludgeoning to create that destructive effect. While increasing the believability of the troll's appearance, completely destroying Dursley made it impossible for the professors to find any clues from Dursley.

Then, by contacting other members of the night nobles, surrounded the academy with bats, and cut off the communication between the academy and the outside world—Mrs. The members are also at least of the Marquis class.

In addition to isolating communications, bats can also serve as guards. Prevent the people inside from running out to report to the outside world. Although even if there is no report of this kind of battle, the civilians outside should notice the abnormality and report it to the Qiyao Mage Association. In that case, things will be much easier.

After making this hill an isolated island, so that Head Bruno could not come back in a short time, Peter could try his best to search for the treasure.

It's just a pity. Before he could officially start the search, he was seriously injured by Xi Wei...

"You mean, that Dursley's kid went back to school to find the treasure. But for some reason, he was noticed by the night nobles and sent Peter to get the location of the treasure from him. Are you going to open the treasure?"

After listening to Xi Wei's words, Mrs. Lauren organized her thoughts thoughtfully: "To be honest, I don't really believe in this inference. Mr. Edrick knows why, right?"

Xi Wei nodded again to express his understanding.

That's right, although his deduction sounds plausible at first glance, but because it was just a hasty guess, it actually has a lot of loopholes.

"However, there is no other statement at the moment, so let's act on the premise of taking your inference as fact." But the old lady changed her tone and said kindly: "Then Mr. Edric, can you act Temporary countermeasures professor, come to give the next order?"

Xi Wei and the other teachers were stunned.

You know, Mrs. Lauren's words are equivalent to directly handing over all authority to Xi Wei!

Not only Xi Wei didn't expect it, but even the other professors didn't expect that the vice president would hand over such an important responsibility to a new Professor Keqing who had been here for less than half a month.

"I believe in Bruno's choice. Since he can trust you, I will not be stingy with my trust." Under their eyes, the old lady smiled and said slowly: "If it is a guy he doesn't like, then no matter He will not pay any attention to the request from Mrs. Sharron or Her Royal Highness, so I am afraid that Dean Bruno has favored you little fellow from the very beginning."

Compared to this, Xi Wei suddenly felt subtle curiosity about the relationship between Mrs. Lauren and Dean Bruno.

Then her expression became serious again, and her originally stooped body also had a different sense of height at the moment, which made Xi Wei, who was still thinking wildly, a little breathless: "So Xi Wei? Professor Edric, can I make this maybe Will the responsibility related to the survival of the academy be handed over to you?"

Forgive me, I'm telling all the information so that I can lay down my burden and hide behind the scenes, so as not to get involved in the subsequent turmoil. Xi Wei sighed secretly, but deep down in his heart was another kind of emotion.

If escaping here caused some bad things to happen to Huo Li'an College, causing it to collapse or even be disbanded, then even if you have your own college in the future, you won't be able to become the number one in the world.

This feeling that lingered in his heart for no reason made him hesitate.

and……

His gaze scanned the expressions of the surrounding professors, and then settled on the faces of his two students, as well as Sophia and Alice beside them.

"Leave it to me." Xi Wei took a deep breath, with a confident smile on his face, straightened his pointed mage hat, put his fist on his chest, and bowed slightly - this is a mage One of the highest etiquette among bowing: "I swear by my name, Xi Wei Edric, that I will definitely do my best to make Huolian Academy survive this disaster."

It feels really good to be trusted. ! ~!
