Chapter 57 (1/2)
”What are you talking about?!”
In Dean Peter's room, the little wizard standing behind Lauren widened his eyes and looked at the confused black wizard. Dalton kand, who has always been calm, showed such a flustered look for the first time.
Even Dean Peter was not much better. Although he still smiled, he knocked over the teacup at hand. Ayin, who dared not say anything, could only stare quietly at Lauren's cheek, which didn't even have a nervous expression.
”As I just said, the other party's mastermind is Karan. I guess he should be a very excellent wilderness wizard and a spell caster who is proficient in spell learning.” Loren still replied calmly: ”if the information is correct, he should have at least 16...”
”I didn't ask you that!” the excited Dalton interrupted him directly, staring at Loren with cold eyes: ”answer my question, Loren Turin!”
Dalton's mood was out of control, and Peter behind the table didn't stop it. Obviously, he was eager to confirm the ”clue” just said by Loren.
”They... Seem to have found something hidden in the college,” Loren said deliberately in a speculative tone, looking back and forth on the two people's faces. ”But except for the wizard named Karan, others don't know what it is.”
”Not only that, I guess father Anthony was killed before. I'm afraid it's also related to this thing - when I was in Gumu Town, I specially asked the priests there. Father Anthony used to work in the church in vimpar village. So I guess it's probably them...”
”Speculation without evidence is just delusion!” the black wizard interrupted Loren again and stared at him severely: ”you'd better think clearly what you're talking about!”
”I know what I'm talking about, mentor.” lorenyi retorted, ”I'm trying my best to protect the college. But now, I don't even know what I'm protecting!”
”Loren!” looking at the black robed wizard's almost murderous eyes, the little wizard who was always silent couldn't help but speak. If he went on like this, according to Dalton's temper, he would never let him go easily!
”Don't embarrass your apprentice, Dalton.” just as the black wizard was about to pull out his wand, Peter stopped him: ”he has tried his best, and we can't blame him for his discovery.”
”Dean, with all due respect...”
”I know what you're going to say and how dangerous it is.” Peter first comforted Dalton and then turned his eyes to Loren: ”Loren Turin, I can say that your insight and tracking ability are far beyond ordinary people.”
”You're wrong.”
”Not this time.” Peter smiled gently and gently held one eye. ”At least you have found part of the truth - yes, there are some secrets hidden in the college, and there are demons hidden under our feet.”
”Dean!” Dalton almost growled.
”The reason why I don't tell you is not because of any selfish desire or purpose, but because it is too dangerous. We hide this secret to protect you and everyone.” Peter looked at him regretfully. ”So I won't tell you what it is. For your safety, it's best not to delve into it.”
”Your task is over, and the college won't give you any new tasks for a while. Study at ease, child.” the kind old man patted Lauren on the shoulder: ”you've done enough, and leave the rest to us - in the name of the college, I promise you, those people will never succeed!”
Lauren, with his head down, said nothing, which made the little wizard behind him very anxious, but he didn't dare to speak - fool! What are you hesitating about? Promise quickly!
”I see. I won't interfere any more.” Lauren raised his head and said calmly, so that ayin finally breathed a sigh of relief behind him, and even closed his eyes a little afraid.
”I guess you may need to rest for a while,” said the old man gently, but there was no doubt in his tone: ”Ayn Rand, would you please take Lauren back to the North Tower - he must be very tired now after being away for several days.”
”Yes, Dean Peter!” the little wizard immediately agreed, and then dragged Lauren away. He trotted all the way until he left the corridor.
