Chapter 27 (1/2)

The dark curtains blocked the sunshine outside, and the smell of parchment filled the air, rich and quiet. For a wizard who is keen on research and solitude, it is undoubtedly the most relaxing environment for him.

But for Dalton Kande, the Loren Turin standing in front of him with a formulaic smile can't make him feel any relaxed.

For fifteen minutes, Dalton, sitting behind his desk, listened to him explain the cause and effect of the whole incident. The wizard's expression also became a little stiff from no waves at the beginning, and finally returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Just the twinkling eyes exposed his mind.

Obviously, although the whole incident is not a big problem and has not caused much impact, if it is not handled properly, it may really have a great impact on the reputation of the College - it is a wise choice to let the wandering Knight go by himself. Dalton is not sure that he can handle it like this if he is another apprentice.

Although the way is a little extreme, it doesn't matter. As long as it did not affect vimpal, even if Loren killed a river of blood, he had no opinion. With the exception of vimpal and the college apprentices, any excess compassion is a luxury. He is more concerned about another thing.

”Does Father Anthony know?”

”Of course, after all, the whole thing happened in Gumu town. If I didn't say it, he wouldn't let me go.” Luo ethics nodded naturally, then pulled the corners of his mouth and tilted slightly: ”but I told him another version of the 'truth'.”

”In short, a group of mutant ghouls appeared outside Gumu town. Then I found their tracks with the help of priest Draco and tracked them all the way. Finally, I solved them in the hut by the lake - but it's a pity that priest Draco was killed by ghouls and I couldn't protect him.”

”Did he believe it?”

”Of course not. I also added some small details, but it doesn't matter.” Loren said calmly. ”The most important thing is that this result is the most appropriate. Everything is an accident, and there is no conspiracy involved.”

Dalton hesitated for a moment and quickly nodded. ”Your choice is rational.”

Loren shrugged his shoulders... This is the version he thought for a long time to determine - at the beginning, he was going to call Draco an unforgivable evil wizard or heretic. In this way, he could not only remove the suspicion of the college, but also disgust father Anthony, so that he did not dare to continue to find trouble with the college.

But Loren soon abandoned the plan. For Anthony, who hates wizards from the bottom of his heart, this result may have a negative effect, making him more resistant to the existence of the college. Maybe they will continue to make trouble for face, which is contrary to their original intention at the beginning.

So, although this will not change anything in the end, at least let a potential disaster disappear. He successfully solved the problem of Gumu Town, and everything has nothing to do with the college, and he has nothing to blame.

Vimpal college has little confidence in the Holy Cross Church. Once it is really entangled, it will be a complete defeat. Therefore, my task is not only to solve problems, but also to resolve all situations that may threaten the college, and let the church or any other forces not trouble the college.

”I must admit that your efficiency is beyond my expectation.” after a moment of silence, Dalton continued: ”no wizard can handle it better than you.”

”Thank you for your compliment.” Lauren tried to make himself laugh more naturally. ”I'm honored by your praise.”

”I'm just stating the facts.” Dalton resumed his original coldness: ”your achievements have proved their value and are worth the college's continued efforts.”

”Now that I've said this, I have a bad request.” Loren suddenly said, ”my sword was damaged by the wizard. Can you help me repair it - it's more or less a souvenir, and I don't want to throw it away.”

”There is a blacksmith's shop in the village outside the college.” Dalton raised his eyebrows. ”If necessary, the laboratory in the tower can meet you.”
