Chapter 508: 166. Actively challenge

“We’re here, Ray Lee. This is the Magic Practice Room in the castle.”

Mabel stopped at the entrance of a room with double doors, her facial features slightly tense as if feeling uneasy.

The silver doors in front of them were made of heavy magic metal, with element light flowing through the exquisite magical runes.

Mabel stood in front of the door, paused slightly, took a deep breath, and placed her hand on the door panel.

She used her own mana to guide the elemental energy in the magic runes, unlocking the magic lock on the door and the mechanical lock inside.

Just as she was about to grab the door handle with both hands and push the two door panels open, Noland Lee’s voice rang in her ears.

“Mabel, you can leave it here. I can go in by myself.”

Noland’s words made Mabel slightly dazed. Her figure trembled slightly, and she forced a smile while speaking stiffly:

“What?”

Noland nodded at her and replied calmly:

“I know there are people waiting for me inside. I can go in by myself. That person is a Wizard Enforcer, right? Only a Wizard Enforcer would make you, a mentor in the magic institution, take it so seriously. Could you tell me why I have to face a Wizard Enforcer?”

Mabel’s smile turned into a bitter one, paired with embarrassment:

“When did you notice… I’m sorry, I can’t resist facing a Wizard Enforcer’s interrogation. This matter involves the accidental death of a legal wizard, Hickman Arlington. According to the 2nd Wizard Law, the Wizard Enforcer used the Sword of Silence to interrogate me. She sealed my casting ability. If I lie or refuse to cooperate in this matter, I will be punished by the Sword of Silence…”

Wearing a contemplative expression, Noland secretly activated “Mind Induction” and spoke through the Voice of the Mind:

“Don’t worry, Mabel. Since I separately listed things about the Wizard Enforcers in the soul contract, I naturally won’t blame you for honoring the contract.”

After conveying the message through the Voice of the Mind, Noland then spoke out loud:

“Hickman Arlington… oh, I remember him, and we have had a conflict. So, it seems that I might indeed be related to his accidental death. Mabel, cooperating with the Wizard Enforcer’s investigation is the responsibility of every legal wizard. I won’t have any complaints about you because of it. Now, let me go and face the Wizard Enforcer’s interrogation.”

After finishing speaking, Noland raised his arm, pushed open the large door of the Magic Practice Room, and stepped inside.

As the door opened and closed, only Mabel was left in the corridor. She stood still, dazed for a moment, before shrugging her shoulders and sighing gently under the full moon.

She pondered for a moment and decided not to go far, summoning a magic chair in a nearby aisle and sitting down.

She placed her hands on her thighs, fingers intertwined, and her gaze occasionally turned to the door of the Magic Practice Room.

“Ray should be fine… For a mysterious and powerful wizard like him, there is no benefit in murdering a First Rank Wizard, and it would only bring charges. He must not be the one who killed Hickman Arlington… The Silent Enforcer choosing the Magic Practice Room as the meeting place should only be to guard against the most extreme situation, nothing more, and not because Ray is really guilty…”
