Chapter 354 Expectation
"What you want to investigate is barely found out..."
The Magic Academy has been in session for half a month, and Annan attends and leaves classes just like an ordinary student.
Today he did not go home directly after class. He went to Antonio's private detective's office.
Annan had previously asked this detective to investigate some matters, and now he finally had results.
"What should I say about the underground ruins that have not been disclosed to the public? It seems that the White Knight really wanted to blow up everything there...and as expected, many people opposed and blocked it."
Antonio scratched his stubbled chin.
Since the investigation was a bit sensitive, he didn't leave any records that might become evidence. He kept everything in his mind.
"After all, what was discovered over there were the remains of an ancient civilization that had lost its records. They are full of value no matter what, but the White Knight is very determined to have his own way. Even if the local officials intervene, they don't seem to be willing to listen. The White Knight said, That is a black magic relic, very dangerous, they should all be blown up into ashes immediately..."
"Are there many people stopping it?"
Annan had a certain interest in the ruins where he had once worked hard, but it was a pity that he did not have a second chance to go back and take a look.
Even if the White Knight troops stationed in the local area leave, the ruins are still a banned and no-access area.
Unless Annan sneaked in secretly, there was no reason or way for him, an ordinary second-year magic apprentice, to step in openly.
"First of all, there are the archaeologists and historians here. They are very concerned about the new relics that are rarely excavated. Moreover, several famous figures in the academic world died in order to excavate this relic. Others will want to preserve the relics. It’s not surprising.”
Antonio picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee before continuing to explain.
"In addition, because the White Knights had conflicts with local religious groups before, some members of the Pantheon here saw the opportunity to participate.
Although what happened before was actually the Pantheon harboring black magicians, which was their fault, the White Knight was too rude, which also caused dissatisfaction among other religious alliances in the Pantheon.
In short, it is such a messy relationship that is difficult to explain. "
The Pantheon is a religious force united by many religious groups in the world, which naturally includes the various religions of Matatec since ancient times. They used their religious beliefs as an excuse to say that the ruins may be related to their religious beliefs. relationship, and thus intervened in this matter.
However, in the face of pressure from many forces, the White Knight still did not bow his head. He was still methodically collecting a large amount of explosives, hoping to destroy the underground ruins that had been completely excavated in one fell swoop.
"That being said, this matter is temporarily suspended. Of course, it does not mean that the White Knight has bowed to the evil forces. It is simply that the White Knight's current power is not concentrated here. It is estimated that the White Knight has dealt with the trouble at hand, and they will The destruction of ruins here will be restarted again.”
Speaking of the White Knight's recent troubles, the detective, who was becoming more and more sloppy, glanced at his client with a strange look.
"Annan, I don't know what happened to the White Knights. I do know that they have made some big moves. They have mobilized their power all over the world and concentrated it in unknown places... I think this has nothing to do with you. relationship, but you should know some news, can you tell me?"
"Yes, if you want to know, Mr. Detective, but I only know a little bit about it."
Annan told the information he knew in a few simple sentences.
After listening, the detective frowned and fell into deep thought for a short time.
"Fire Witch? Eureka? Something big is about to happen?"
Antonio shook his head, deciding not to think too much.
He doesn't live in Eureka, and the White Knight seems to have depleted most of his energy to deal with the problem now, so he shouldn't have to worry too much as a little private detective.
After all, even if he was worried, there was nothing he could do.
"Is this why you want me to investigate the current White Knight's movements?"
"Yes, although it seems that the White Knight's confidentiality work is still very good as always."
"Why would you want to know the latest movements of the White Knight?"
"On the one hand, I am curious, and on the other hand, because I expect to go to Eureka during the next winter vacation?"
Hearing Annan's future arrangements, the detective couldn't help but frowned again.
"You know there might be big trouble there, but you still go?"
"Some things need to go. In fact, I originally planned to go to Eureka during the previous summer vacation, but the other side was not ready, so I postponed it until now."
"Is it very important? You must go?"
"It's not that it's very important. It doesn't matter if it's later, but I want to solve it early. There are some things I want to figure out early."
The detective hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not pursue the question in depth.
He understands that in some matters, as a mere collaborator, he should not be involved too much or go too deep.
Now he has no ambitions. He just wants to continue his detective work that can barely make a living. As for other things, he has no pursuits.
"Although I shouldn't need to say more, it's best to be careful. If you are gone, there will be no one to take us to the other world regularly."
Annan smiled and nodded.
He knew that the detective was caring about him, but it was better to remind him of some things again.
"Mr. Detective, I should have told you before that my practice of taking you to the other world regularly is not completely safe. You who have been in contact with the other world may still fall into it at any time. international."
"Then you have to ensure your own safety even more."
The detective pouted.
"If we accidentally enter the other world, the only person nearby who can help us immediately is you, who can enter and exit the other world freely."
"So Mr. Detective relies on me so much? I'm a little happy."
Annan chuckled.
"Anyway... remember to be careful in your next trip. There is nothing I can do to help you, but I will continue to pay attention to the movements of the White Knight. Just don't have too high expectations." The detective said a little annoyed. said.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Detective."
Annan wanted to leave, but he almost forgot that there was one thing he needed to confirm.
"By the way, Mr. Detective, what I gave you before..."
"It has been spread, but I can't guarantee that it will reach the end. Even if it does, it may not have any effect."
Annan smiled slightly.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether it works or not, it's still the same. That thing is just an attempt. Whether it can succeed, well, I think we will see it soon."
