”It’s not the work of the twin snakes cult.”
Marvin pointed at Wayne’s thin face and said, ”If it was the twin snakes cult, Wayne wouldn’t suffer that much.”
”On the surface it looks like [Hibernation], one of the twin snakes cult’s trademark curses, which makes the target enter a permanent coma. But hibernation wouldn’t kill someone.”
”His heartbeat is also extremely strong, and this isn’t a symptom of hibernation.”
A hint of shock passed through Hanzer’s eyes. He couldn’t help but ask, ”How do you know?”
”My grandfather was a high level wizard.”
Marvin had already prepared his reason. ”Before setting off, I read through many books in the study, learning a lot of knowledge.”
”You and Wayne are just as smart, it’s a pity you didn’t have the talent to be a wizard.”
Hanzer nodded. ”Right, I also felt that some people deliberately imitated the work of the twin snakes cult.”
”But how did you know it was Lulu? You should have just arrived?”
Marvin smiled. ”Under the disguise of the hibernation curse is another curse that drains vitality. This kind of curse needs at least a week of daily contact and constant chanting of the curse incantation.”
”Wayne is a little antisocial, so he wouldn’t stay close with many people for a long period of time. Apart from the old butler, who is left?”
The only person remaining that had daily contacts with him was his little girlfriend, right?
A very logical deduction.
Hanzer shrugged helplessly. ”You must be a very capable overlord!”
”Since you are here as well, do you want to join me in visiting the culprit behind Wayne’s situation?”
”This is your right.”
...
Magore Academy’s prison.
A young girl was sitting alone on the edge of a fence, looking exceptionally frightened.
This prison was set up on a nine story tall tree. Every branch ended in a wooden prisoner cell, hanging in mid air.
She was looking at the vast black liquid below.
If she fell down into this black liquid, she would dissolve and not even a bone would remain!
There weren’t many prisoners in the prison because most people that looked for trouble in Magore Academy would die.
Just as she was looking around, frightened, the prisoner’s cage started moving!
She was scared at first, but she soon reacted. ‘Someone’s is controlling this branch!’
There were two faint silhouettes on a distant platform.
The tall silhouette was chanting an incantation and that branch carrying her began to slowly move.
In the end, the prisoner’s cage landed on the platform.
She saw two people standing in front of her as the cage opened.
”Come out, Miss Lulu,” Hanzer said in a low voice.
Lulu timidly walked out from the prisoner’s cage.
”I don’t understand, why did you do this?”
”Who did I offend?”
Lulu displayed an innocent appearance. She looked completely clueless.
”A woman’s acting…” Hanzer surprisingly said before Marvin could say anything.
”I have to say, I am deeply impressed by your acting skills.”
As a 2nd rank wizard, Hanzer had a sense of humor that didn’t fit with his outfit.
”As an apprentice alchemist, why would you do this? You’ve been with Wayne for more than half a year, why curse him? Did you really think we, the teachers, are blind?
Lulu turned silent.
She had already prepared herself for this. But once things really happened, she was still bewildered.
She knew that Hanzer had enough proof since she had already been put in jail.
Anything she said would be useless.
”I love Wayne. Really.”
She began to sob. ”But, I really couldn’t do anything about it.”
”Looking at him everyday was so painful, I also felt like a knife was being twisted in my heart.”
”Someone forced me to do this. If I didn’t, I… In short, I would die in a very frightening way.”
”I was scared. Thus I did what he said. I didn’t expect it to be this serious.”
”I know I’m wrong. I truly didn’t want to put him in this state.”
...
The girl’s weeping became more and more mournful. Making people feel pity for her.
But it only gave Marvin the urge to vomit.
