Chapter 35 (1/2)

At night, the vimpar castle looked much heavier than before. Layers of dark clouds covered the moonlight and plunged most of the castle into darkness. Only the scattered lights illuminate a few corners, but people can't feel much temperature.

Lauren, leaning against the window, looked out in a mixed mood. According to their past, they don't care much about the life and death of others - they are not related to themselves. Even the vast majority of people in this college don't know that they are also apprentices here. You can walk away at any time.

But now, it's still a good choice to continue to serve the College... At least I have won their trust, and it's only a few months, and there's still time. Whether it's the knowledge about the world or the magic of the void, I still don't know enough.

As for the church - Loren had never cared about it since the day he came to vimpal college. No matter how the college ends, I'm just a little apprentice. Moreover, Draco was burned to ashes by himself. Even the most powerful person could not know how the fake priest died.

Whether it is the Holy Cross Church or some people hiding in the dark, their purpose must be the college. As long as they are careful enough, they will not be affected.

”If I were you, I would be careful behind me.”

There was no sound of the door opening, but by the time Lauren looked back, Dalton kand had stood in front of him, and his stiff face looked deep in the slight light of the fire: ”where are the two of them?”

”Isaac doesn't have a problem. He just complains that he can't go to the Library - but it doesn't matter. He's still easy to fool.” Loren certainly knows who Dalton said: ”as for AIN... Ain seems to have noticed something, but out of trust in you, he didn't ask much.”

Dalton nodded to express his satisfaction, but his expression remained unchanged: ”this event has indeed exceeded expectations, but it has not reached the point where the apprentice needs to be involved.”

Even if they are involved, I'm afraid they can't solve any problems, but can only make things more troublesome. It is obvious that the church is deliberately targeting the college, which is no longer the scope that apprentices can touch.

”I'll be very busy for the next period of time - maybe two months, maybe three. The rest of the tutors are the same, and Dean Peter will consult with bishop Fabian.” Dalton said flatly, ”so I'll often be away from the college.”

”What is the area you are responsible for?”

”No.” Dalton shook his head. ”The mentors will exchange positions in turn, but the whole Duke's range is too large. Even if everyone is mobilized, it's still not enough.”

”This way of casting nets everywhere is of no help.” Lauren frowned and shook his head. ”Even if you can find any problems, it's too late to solve them - you just said that the Duke's collar has a wide range.”

”This is only an expedient measure to let the church see that we really have something to do, and we don't expect to really find many problems.” Dalton clearly knew: ”so the real solution to the problem still has to start with the Holy Cross Church.”

”Do you have any tasks for me?”

Dalton didn't answer. He stared at Lauren in silence, as if he were looking for something. After a while, he slowly said, ”yes, but not entirely.”

Although it was only a moment, Loren also felt the smell of distrust revealed by Dalton... The other party was covering up this, as if he didn't want to be aware of it.

He can't understand that he is not trusted. After all, he has only been here for a few months; Lauren never expected to be fully trusted by others - after all, he never fully trusted others himself, and naturally he couldn't expect others to treat him like this.

”Your current level is not enough to undertake this kind of work - not worried about your safety, but if you screw up, it may endanger the college again.” Dalton finally found a good excuse: ”so in the next time, I need you to continue to study incantation and strengthen your mental strength to the level of an ordinary wizard.”

”This is not an assignment, nor any requirement. It's that I can't accept a low-level person to take over a mission he can't complete.” Dalton's tone is still impolite: ”your swordsmanship and fighting skills with bandits are of no help in the face of curse and abnormal changes.”

”I'll do what I can.” Lauren made his expression as sincere as possible. ”No matter what happens, I'll be your apprentice, mentor Dalton.”
