Chapter 341: Suspicion (Asking for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)
Lei Te couldn't help roaring in his heart. No wonder when they met just now, although the person on the left looked unfamiliar, the face of the person on the right always felt a bit familiar. After this reminder, I finally remembered that during the previous battle at the canyon defense line, Sherman, the traitor of the Shilu Kingdom, repeatedly carried out sabotage in secret. Fortunately, with the help of simulation, he made timely responses each time to avoid unnecessary casualties. In the end, the opponent was forced to be beaten to death by many saints.
Due to Leiter's strength and status at the time, although Leiter was not qualified to participate in the siege of Sherman, he later saw a portrait of Sherman in Frost Fortress, so he had a general understanding of the man's appearance. But because the portrait was not of high quality and looked old, Leiter did not connect with the person in front of him at first.
At this moment, he finally recalled the unintentional words that deputy commander Bomir said casually at that time - the face that Sherman showed in the Kingdom of Gray with the help of mystical illusions was different from the face after death. There is no doubt that after death, it is the true appearance that loses its mysterious power.
He looks exactly like the young man in front of him!
Coupled with the fact that he had the same name and happened to appear in the Kingdom of Huilu, Leiter was 99% sure that the person in front of him was definitely Xie Man, a powerful man from the Sanctuary in the future!
Although in later generations, Sherman was known as a young newcomer to the Holy Realm, the person in front of him was only a great mage. His lifespan was at most a few hundred years, and he would not live until that time.
But if it were an afterthought, Leiter could easily imagine that the other party might have been promoted to the Holy Realm earlier, and then relied on the illusion and mystery to disguise his identity and aura. It couldn't be easier...
"Lord Heidista, welcome to your arrival!"
When Jianka and Sherman saw the two saints, they stood up straight with respectful expressions. Sherman on the right immediately said: "The dean is doing alchemy experiments in the room at this time. He said that he was doing research on the human body a while ago. The project has made breakthrough progress, and I will definitely be very happy to hear about your arrival, Lord Heidi! ”
"Breakthrough progress?" A strange color flashed in Heidis's eyes, but his smile remained unchanged: "Really? Then I want to have a good experience and quickly go to your dean to communicate. It happens that I also have some new discoveries here..."
The two of them extended their hands in a gesture of invitation, inviting Heidis to come upstairs.
Heidis didn't hesitate and walked towards the top floor. But after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at Leiter who was standing still with a surprised look in his eyes. "Vilas, that's right ahead. Gunas’s room, why don’t you come over?”
"Well, I suddenly thought of something else." Leiter pretended to think, "Mai Dong once told me that he admired several junior alchemists from Golden Blood Academy, including this Sherman. I have been I haven’t been to Golden Blood Academy often, so I just have the chance to talk to him first.”
"Is there such a thing?" Heidis raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "How come I haven't heard of it... Forget it, then I will go find Gunas alone, and you will wait for me outside later. "
"No problem." Leiter smiled, waved to Heidis, and watched him go upstairs.
As Heidis left, the scene became a little quiet for a while. The two young men, Jianka and Sherman, looked at each other in confusion. Sherman was a little confused and asked tentatively: "Sir Vilas, what do you want from me?"
"Haha, I want to talk to you about something." Leiter smiled and patted Sherman on the back, "This place is not suitable, let's go down and talk."
"Okay... okay." Sherman scratched his head, not daring to go against Leiter's ideas and keep up with Leiter's pace.
All the way to the small garden a hundred meters away from the Golden Blood Palace, a few people stopped. Gianka stood under a red palm maple tree, her eyes flashed up and down, and she spoke anxiously:
"Um... Lord Vilas, I have other things to do. I need to arrange the next schedule for the people in the ring tower, so I won't disturb your conversation..."
Leiter waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating to the other party to go ahead and get busy.
Gianca was relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, quickened her pace, and left in a hurry.
Leiter watched the other party disappear around the corner of a stone gate, then looked at Sherman, pointed to a stone seat next to the flowers, and said: "Let's do it first, don't be nervous, just have a casual chat."
Sherman sat down on the stone chair obediently, but did not dare to lean back. He straightened his back and put his legs together slightly. Looking at Leiter who was pacing in front of him, he couldn't help but say:
"Lord Vilas, you just said...that the tower master of the Ring Tower appreciates me? I also admire the master of the Ophiopogon japonicus tower very much. His persistent attitude towards alchemy is worth learning from me throughout my life!"
"Yes, it seems that you have the talent to become an excellent alchemist." Leiter stopped, looked away from the striped floor, looked at Sherman, and said with a smile: "Actually, I want to know something about you and the ring. How many contacts did the Tower Master have in the past?”
"About a dozen times. Since I am the dean's alchemy assistant, I will meet the master of the ring tower basically every year at the exchange meeting." Sherman's eyes wavered as he recalled.
"We have met more than a dozen times...that is to say...you have been Gunas' assistant for more than ten years?"
The jumping level of Leiter's question made Sherman stunned for a moment, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, I was honored to be the dean's assistant more than ten years ago."
"What tasks are you usually responsible for?" Leiter asked.
"I'm afraid I can't reveal this to you." Xie Man said with an embarrassed face: "The dean has told us that we cannot tell anyone anything related to the experiment without his permission."
"Yeah...understood." Leiter didn't get a satisfactory answer, but he still said patiently: "Is it about the human alchemy experiment?"
"Of course, this project has lasted for nearly twenty years. Whether it is Golden Blood Academy or Ring Tower, they are working hard to overcome difficulties. You should also know this!"
"The Jianka just now was an alchemy assistant like you?"
"Yes, we became assistant to the dean in the same year."
"Have you known each other before this?" Leiter asked casually.
"We were all students of Golden Blood Academy. We were appreciated by the dean for our outstanding performance." Sherman explained, swallowed, and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Vilas, what exactly do you want to know? ?”
"Haha, don't be anxious, just treat it as a casual chat." Leiter smiled casually and walked slowly on the spot. When he reached the black line between the two floors, he suddenly turned around and asked: "What is the relationship between you and the orcs? what relationship?"
When Leiter said this, he pointed at Sherman with one finger, and at the same time, he mentally captured the other person's facial expressions and eyes and observed them carefully. However, all I saw was confusion and astonishment.
"Orcs? Of course they are our mortal enemies!" Sherman said with confusion: "What can I have to do with orcs? From birth to now, I have never met orcs at all. The only time was in the circus. inside……"
Leiter squinted his eyes, trying to find something strange about the other person, but failed after a moment. He had to admit that the other person's expression was extremely natural, a completely normal reaction, and there was no sign of lying.
Either his acting skills are superb, or Sherman is indeed innocent at this time...
Leiter let out a breath and gave up asking further questions to avoid being noticed. Instead, he asked: "What kind of people do you think the tower master and the dean are?"
"They are all great alchemists who have a persistent pursuit of alchemy!" Sherman said fluently: "They are all role models for me to learn from!"
"Huh..." Lei Te took a long breath and put on his standard smile again, "Thank you for your cooperation. Maidong has really good vision. He has entered the threshold of the Great Mage at this age. In the future, he should not be able to stop the Holy Realm. Live with you. If I could make a choice for Ophiopogon japonicus, I would dig you into the ring tower!"
"Thank you Tower Master and your appreciation. The dean is my benefactor, and I will never leave him." Sherman breathed a sigh of relief, relieved the pressure, stood up and stroked his chest and said, "But even if I am in Golden Blood Academy, I will never leave him." Like everyone else, fight for the common alchemical ideal! ”
"Not bad." Leiter praised verbally, nodded and said, "That's it for today, I wasted your time."
"It's my honor to communicate with Lord Vilas." Sherman stood up, his expression still humble, "I'm going to do other things. Goodbye, Lord Vilas!"
"Goodbye." Leiter smiled and waved.
Half a minute later, watching Sherman leave and his back gradually disappear, Leiter's smile faded and he fell into calm.
The setting sun on the horizon cast golden light, casting long oblique shadows on the ground. Leiter thought deeply for a moment, stretched out his hand to hold a handful of gold powder, and recalled the content of the chat just now. He personally prefers Sherman at this time, who is just a normal alchemist. Although his talent is good, he is not suspected of colluding with the orcs...
However, from the moment he met Sherman to now, Leiter felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart - everything was too coincidental!
He just wanted to come to the Golden Blood Academy to understand and destroy the human alchemy experiment and collect information about the leader of the Blood God, but he unexpectedly discovered that Sherman was also here...
"What a coincidence. Is there any connection... between them?" Leiter couldn't help but frown. He thought for a moment but to no avail, and slowly walked towards the Golden Blood Palace.
"Jesse, now I'm asking you, what does the disappearance of our tower master have to do with you? You'd better answer me truthfully!"
"Haidis, I'm also curious. What does your tower master's disappearance have to do with me? I also want to know where he went! Don't you know how serious his disappearance is to the progress of this experiment? Moreover, I What’s the motive for targeting him?”
"I don't care so much. You are the person he comes into contact with most frequently. I can only come to you!"
"Then let me tell you now, I don't know, I still have important experiments, please don't disturb me. By the way, if your tower owner disappears, then I don't think there is any need to hold this year's exchange meeting!"
A violent argument broke out in the alchemy laboratory on the top floor.
Heidis and a crazy-looking old man with an afro faced each other face to face, glaring at each other.
After the fierce quarrel, the two fell into a strange calm.
At this moment, the hand holding the wand of Hades was shaking slightly because of too much force. He stared at the dean of Golden Blood Academy in front of him, his chest heaving violently, and he was obviously very angry.
Originally, he just wanted to find Gunas to get some clues and have a good talk, but the other party's attitude was uncharacteristically and unexpectedly bad, which not only made him angry, but also further increased his suspicion of the other party!
Heidis sneered, "Humph, since you don't want to communicate properly, I won't hide it anymore. I dare to come to you to confront you today, which means I must have reliable clues!"
"Nonsense, what suspicious clues do I have?" A line of blood flashed across the back of the afro-haired dean's neck and swam upwards. His body trembled slightly, his eyes became more impatient, and he waved his hand to drive him away, "If you have the guts, just say it. I want to see what kind of weak excuse you can make! If not, leave quickly."
"Okay!" Hades took a deep breath and said coldly, "Half a year ago, you personally urged our tower master to tell him that human alchemy research had made a new discovery in the skull, and he didn't even tell me this secret. But it happened that he went out and never came back. Doesn't this have anything to do with you? "
"Impossible! Since the exchange meeting last year, I have never contacted your tower master privately!" The afro-haired dean roared loudly, then shook his head and frowned, "Huh? No, you just said... there are new discoveries in the skull area? Absolutely impossible! I did find abnormalities in the skull area during my research, but I never mentioned it to outsiders. . "
After saying that, the afro-haired dean looked around the room with lifeless eyes, and his mind was obviously disordered. And Heidis observed that Gunas was switching back and forth between dullness and sobriety, frowned, cautiously stepped back half a step, and condensed a layer of flame barrier around his body!
"Who told you this secret?" The afro suddenly retracted his scattered gaze, his eyes regained their brilliance, but with a hint of fear. He stared at Hades and said hysterically: "How could you know this secret!"
Haitis felt that Gunas's behavior was very strange, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Gunas, don't play tricks..."
Boom, boom, boom
Haitis was interrupted in the middle of his words, and a terrifying vibration came from the outside.
It seemed that someone was hitting the door outside, accompanied by a violent bombardment. Hades and the afro looked at the door in surprise.
A ray of twisted khaki light rays tore a gap, and then a terrifying buzzing sound came through the gap. The alchemical metal door with super strong defense was quickly shaken into scrap metal by the twisted light.
A faint smoke spread, and the silhouette of Rhett emerged. He stepped on the abandoned twisted iron door and whispered: "Gunas, I told him this secret..."
"Villas? What are you doing at the Golden Blood Academy!" Gunas fell into doubt, and bloodshot eyes gradually cracked. He said in a low voice: "How do you know the secrets about human body research... You are not an alchemist at all. Did "it" tell you..."
There is a strange thing. I felt dizzy in the middle of the night yesterday. I got out of bed and wanted to go to the toilet, but I was in a trance. I just turned around on the ground and couldn't stand steadily. I felt possessed by a ghost. I was listless all day today. True story...
