Chapter 20: The Murderer
"What?!"
An angry voice came from inside the room, it was a handsome blonde boy.
"You said that guy was killed?"
"The person who killed him is still the bastard's brother, Marven of the White River Valley? Isn't he a waste? Someone who doesn't even have a combat profession. ”
In front of him stood a man in black who bowed slightly. The latter whispered, "Young Master White, according to our intelligence, Baron Marven did not have any combat profession. ”
"Then how did he forcibly kill two of my henchmen, the Warriors, in full view of everyone and before the law enforcement team could stop them?"
White looked unusually angry.
handed over this little thing to that kid, but the other party didn't even settle him, but gave away his own life.
That little bastard was annoying in itself, and he didn't expect his brother to be so troublesome.
"I don't know. It may be that the information is wrong. ”
The man in black bowed again and apologized: "I hope you can understand, young master, that kind of small place in the White River Valley is too remote, and our intelligence network has not been arranged. ”
"No matter how wrong it is, it can't be wrong in this situation!"
White took a deep breath and showed a thoughtful look: "This Marven doesn't look simple." At least much more savvy than his brother. ”
"Being able to kill the wizard apprentice and his followers proves that this guy's strength is at the top even in the first order."
"Decisively use the September Medal, he seems to want to make things bigger......"
"I have to say a smart guy. But in front of our unicorn family, these little cleverness will not help him, but will send him to hell completely! ”
The man in black nodded.
"Now the Tower of Ashes is contacting the arbitrators of the Southern Wizarding Alliance, and it is estimated that they will go through a process."
"It's easy to go through the process." White sneered and said, "The arbitrators, the judges, all replaced by our people." ”
"I'd like to see what other tricks this Baron Marven can come up with!"
"Yes! I'll do it right away! The man in black immediately retreated.
……
At the same time, in the side room of another dormitory of the Margol College.
A thick smell of potions filled the air. The whole room was even a little foggy.
An incense burner was placed at the head of the bed, and inside it was burned a strange spice that had a calming effect.
Marven walked in silently, and there was another person in the room besides Pooh, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
It was a girl, about eleven or twelve. Seeing Marven come in, she looked a little surprised.
"I'm Pooh's brother, Lord of the White River Valley, Marven."
He briefly introduced himself.
"Ah, hello." The girl showed a shy expression: "I'm Lulu, Pooh's classmate. ”
Schoolmate?
It's not that simple, right?
Marven looked at the girl and the unconscious Pooh with some speechlessness. The nobility of the Fernan's world developed earlier, and they usually began to covet forbidden fruits at the age of eleven or twelve, but Pooh, this kid, was only nine years old, and he actually had a girlfriend?
It's too fast.
However, the status of wizards is very high, and it is not difficult to find some women. Marven saw that this girl named Lulu was probably a wizard apprentice with alchemist potential. But her talent is not very high, so it is difficult to develop further. Her appearance is not bad, but she is not yet the kind of Cheng dù that can attract upper-class wizards.
She sat on the edge of Pooh's bed, looking a little haggard.
"Miss Lulu has been taking care of Master Pooh since he became ill." The old butler's voice came at the right time.
Marven nodded and said thank you.
However, he quickly changed his words: "Miss Lulu, you must be tired these days, since I have come, my brother will be taken care of by me, you better go back and rest first." ”
Lulu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Pooh with some reluctance, and then nodded away.
Only the old housekeeper and Marven were left in the room, and the two looked at each other, and the former seemed to be a little surprised by Marven's change.
It was a spiritual transformation, although Anna had written to her about it a long time ago, but when Marven actually stood in front of him, he seemed to have an illusion.
Marven now is just like his grandfather was when he was young.
Wise, energetic and decisive.
This is a quality that a good lord must have.
"Young Master Marven......" the old butler whispered, "You don't have to worry too much. The teachers in the academy were furious, and they were working very hard to find the culprit. ”
"I'm sure they'll find out soon."
Marven didn't speak, but silently looked at Pooh on the bed.
His young brother was covered with a thick blanket. His face was horribly pale, his cheeks sunken, and his hair began to wither, like a withered tree.
"Huh?"
Marven frowned slightly.
He pulled the blanket slightly, Pooh's chest was cold, but his heart was still beating vigorously.
"He would wake up three times a day in the middle of the night from nightmares and throw up."
"The stuff he spat out...... It's all dirty. ”
The old butler explained, "Toads, poisonous snakes, and the like." I have already explained this to you in my letter. ”
"Pooh's mentor said that it might have been done by someone from the Twin Snakes."
Marven quietly covered the blanket and shook his head slowly: "It's not the Twin Snake Sect. ”
"Huh?" The old butler was a little surprised.
"It wasn't the Twin Snakes who did it. It was someone who imitated the trick of the Twin Snakes. ”
A chill flashed in Marven's eyes.
"This is not an ordinary curse, but a hybrid curse."
"On the surface, it looks like the [hibernation] curse of the Twin Snake Cult, but in fact, underneath the disguised hibernation, there is a curse that is constantly draining Pooh's life force."
"He's very weak now, and I must remove the source of the curse immediately!"
Marven clenched his fists, his brain spinning rapidly.
It is indeed not the method of the Twin Snake Sect. It's just a façade, someone is behind it.
And definitely someone from the academy.
Even the people around Pooh!
"Wait......"
Marven suddenly looked up.
He seems to have guessed something!
……
Margor College, in a conference room.
"I think I've found the source of Pooh's curse."
A deep voice rang out: "We must punish the murderer severely." ”
"What if you find it? The final qualifying tournament starts in less than a week, and your apprentice may not be able to continue to participate. Another snarky voice said.
"So what?" The first voice said angrily, "Could it be that someone has openly framed my disciple and openly cursed the apprentices of the Margor Academy, and everyone here is indifferent?" ”
The crowd was silent.
The last voice clapped and said, "Hänsel, since you are your student, you have suffered the most, so you should go out." ”
"But that person should be a student at the affiliated college of our academy, if she wants to ......"
"If she's willing to hand over the antidote or take the initiative to lift the curse, I can spare her life." Hänsel said decisively.
……
Knock knock, knock knock!
There was a knock at the door.
The old butler was a little surprised.
Who will visit at this time?
At Marven's signal, he went to open the door.
The visitor was dressed in black clothes and hats, and looked very old-fashioned, but also very majestic.
A wizard at the top of the second order.
Marven made a judgment in an instant. He didn't dare to use reconnaissance - that would be an offense to the wizard and would most likely anger the other party.
He judged it empirically.
"Lord Hänsel?" The old butler was a little surprised.
"Who is this?" Hensel also looked at Marven with some strange eyes.
"I'm Pooh's brother, Lord of the White River Valley, Marven." Marven introduced himself again.
"Hello. When Pooh was in school, it seemed that we had a relationship. ”
As if remembering something, a smile appeared on Hensel's face: "Moreover, the person who dares to kill people at the gate of Margor Academy, in more than three hundred years, you are the first." ”
"Someone is trying to frame my brother."
"I'll make them pay."
Marven's voice was calm, but with an unusual chill. Even a master like Hensel couldn't help but look at him more.
This teenager ...... It seems to be a little different from back then. When he first heard that Marven was killing people at the door, he still thought he was reckless.
It doesn't seem like so.
But that's not the key to his here.
Hensel whispered, "I've caught the killer who framed Pooh. ”
"It's his little girlfriend, Lulu, right?" Marven said casually.
"How do you know?" Hänsel lost his voice.

Especially the background, if the character card is too detailed, I can't insert it, it will interrupt the original train of thought.
