56. Progress?
"Damn, it's finally out!" After a while, a figure climbed onto the shore with soaked clothes, and then exhaled softly.
This person is Dor, I saw that Dorr was now lying on the edge of a smooth boulder, slightly recovering his physical strength and jingshen, and checking whether his belongings were lost in the lake, only to see that when Dol summoned a fire element to dry his clothes and tidy them up slightly, a piece of debris from nowhere also fell from Dor's body.
"Huh, what is this?!" Dole picked up the fragment strangely, and then was slightly stunned, and then remembered that it should have been in his clothes when he was looking for the two-handed sword, only to see that this fragment should be a fragment of chest armor, and there seemed to be some words engraved on it, as if it was written in the continental lingua franca.
ββ¦ The horn of conquest resounded on the bloody plain, but the hometown was far away, and it was no longer visible..."
Dole looked at these short words slowly, as if he felt a desolation belonging to the warrior and longing for his hometown, as if he saw a warrior patting the dust on his body, then turned his head, glanced in the direction of his hometown, and then rode on his war horse and galloped to an unknown distance.
After a while, Dole sighed slightly, and then with a wave of his right hand, a powerful fighting spirit suddenly erupted from Dole's hand, hitting a big hole in the ground by the lake, and then Dole put this fragment into the hole with both hands, covered it with dirt slightly, and then stuck the huge stone under his feet on it, and carved it with his fighting spirit.
"Here, the final battlefield of a great warrior!"
The golden sunlight slowly scattered on the road of the Royal Demon Martial Academy, and the dark clouds that covered the sky slowly dissipated in the evening. A clear sky was revealed, and at this time, Dole returned to his house.
As soon as he entered, Dole saw Mia and the others waiting anxiously in the hall, and after seeing Dole enter the door. Mia suddenly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but soon a trace of anger appeared on her face, and then she looked at Dole, who was soaking wet, and said, "Hmph! Say, where the hell did you go?! Do you know everyone is worried about you?! β
And Dole, who had just sat down on the side, opened his eyes with difficulty after hearing Mia's words, and then said, "Let me take a breath and then speak!" β
Thereupon. After Dole took a break, he told everyone about this thrilling trip, and Sarah, Kiki, and Lilith, who had recovered, all had the same reaction after hearing Dole's experience, that is, Jing asked excitedly, "That must be very exciting!" β
And Mia was also slightly nervous after hearing Dole's experience, and the unknown anger just now also dissipated. Instead, he said with a little worry: "Hmph, next time you are not allowed to go to such a dangerous place, you have to bring a few trustworthy guys with you to go, unlike those guys from the law enforcement team, who are either sΓ¨ ruffians or idiots!" β
Dole was slightly surprised by the resentment emanating from Mia's body, and Lilith on the side had already explained to Dole with a smile, it turned out that Wade, the captain of the law enforcement team? Shivalette was frightened away by the bloody figure of the complex. Although he was a little frightened, he was very excited by the thought that Nador was dead.
So, for some reason, Wade actually ran to Dole's residence. Wade, who originally planned to tell Dole's companion the news of Dole's death in exchange for a little pleasure, stood outside Dole's residence and knocked on the door a few times, and then saw Mia open the door. Instead, he vigorously pursued Mia, but. Mia actually knew about this good guy for a long time, so she blasted Wade out of the room with a cold face. β¦
After Dore listened to Lilith's words. just smiled slightly, then hugged Mia's thin waist and said softly: "Don't worry, I'll help you teach that guy a lesson in a while!" β
Mia leaned her head slightly on Dore's shoulder, and then said: "No, although his strength is not very good, but after all, he is still surnamed Shivalette, if he provokes those masters of the Shivalet family, my father will not be able to come forward!" β
"Don't worry, I'm just scaring him, after all, he thinks I'm dead!" Dole had no intention of changing his mind, just smiled slightly, and then said.
"Hey, please don't be so obvious, okay!" However, as soon as Dole's words fell, they heard Lilith's voice full of resentment, and as soon as the two looked up, they saw that the remaining three girls were looking at the two intently, and a slightly sour resentment also spread in the air.
Seeing the performance of the women, Mia jumped up like a frightened demon rabbit, and then ran into her room with her face covered, while Dole scratched her head slightly, and then hurriedly ran out, leaving a few resentful guys staring at each other.
After a while, Dole came to a huge and luxurious building, and saw a wooden sign engraved in front of this four-story spire structure, "Wade? Viscount Shivalette", which made Dole pout slightly, and said in his heart: "Such a guy can also become a viscount?" β
However, when Dole saw the few guards standing in front of the building and the slightly shiny protective magic pattern on the edge of the house, he immediately frowned slightly, but Dole soon had a twinkle in his eyes, and then smiled evilly, and saw Dole's figure suddenly and slowly turn into an afterimage and disappear in place.
"Butler, my old man doesn't have any tasks these days, right?!" At this time, Wade was sitting in the living room, talking to the housekeeper standing next to him, while looking at the information reported by the law enforcement team displayed on the crystal screen in his hand.
"Young master, the old master said that he would go to the Sith Continent to meet his old friends for a while, so let you not cause any big things in the next few days." The old butler of the old dragon clock on the side said in a low voice, and saw Wade's hand that kept clicking on the crystal screen paused slightly, and then heard Wade say: "Are you sure the old man went to the Sith Continent?!" Well, it looks like I'm going to go back to my family to see my younger siblings! After so long, they must have forgotten about me! β
However, Wade did have a cold look on his face when he said this. It seems that it shouldn't be something like nostalgia for the brotherhood of the past, and sure enough, the old housekeeper's eyes also flashed slightly after hearing Wade's words, and then said in agreement: "The young master is right, I haven't seen you for so many years." But take good care of the brotherhood in the past! β
However, while the two were talking, a dark shadow suddenly crept into the house from the attic at the top of the house, and did not attract the attention of the guards and protective magic patterns below, and Wade went upstairs and walked into his room after chatting with the old butler for a few words.
Wade had just walked into the room, turned and closed the door. Then he took the goblet in his hand, tasted the treasured wine in it slightly, and then stood by the window of the room in a good mood and looked at the Royal Demon Martial Academy at night, but at this moment, Wade's expression suddenly changed slightly. Feeling a sudden cold air, Wade turned his head in slight surprise, and saw a black shadow standing not far behind him, and a cold air was spreading to him from that black shadow.
"Who are you?" Wade was slightly alarmed, and then asked loudly, but in the next second, Wade's eyes suddenly widened to the limit, and the whole person looked like he had seen a ghost. His face was full of fear and uneasiness. β¦
"It's you, it's you?! No way!!! I saw the moonlight outside the window shining on the dark shadow, revealing Dore's slightly smiling face. But there was a deep scar on Dole's face, as if this scar had just formed, and a stream of blood slowly flowed down Dole's face, only to see Dole open his mouth slightly at this time, and said hoarsely with a thick and extremely cold air: "It's you, you killed me." I'm going to pull you along to the abyss! Come on! Come on!!! β
But. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house, and I saw that Dore's body that was getting closer to Wade, who was already on the verge of collapse, suddenly blurred. Then all that was left was "I'll be back!" The words slowly disappeared into the air, leaving only Wade, who had collapsed to the ground and shattered the goblet in his hand.
"Young master?! Young master, are you alright?! At this time, the door of the room was also knocked open by the old butler and a group of guards, and then the old butler hurriedly stepped forward to help Wade up, and shouted anxiously.
And at this moment, as all the guards ran up, and no one noticed, a figure walked out of the door of the house in such a bright light, and the figure seemed to leave a soft laugh as it left.
The next day, when Dole just got up and walked down the stairs with his eyes rubbed, he heard Sarah and Kiki discussing a topic, only to hear Sarah say: "Do you know, last night, I heard that the captain of the law enforcement team, that is, the guy named Wade, who was nasty, didn't know what kind of nerves he had today, submitted a leave of absence to the academy, and then hurried home, it is said that he hit a ghost last night?!" Haha, it's really laughing at me! β
And Kiki also said: "Well, I think it must have been done by that uncle, but I didn't expect the uncle to make a different move, and all of a sudden scared that guy ran back to the family!" Ha ha! β
And Dole coughed lightly at this time, and then sat down at the dinner table under the slightly smiling eyes of Sarah and Kiki, and began to eat breakfast, completely ignoring the two curious girls, after all, Dole still had to meet his "father-in-law" Vice Dean Allen for a while, to verify a question that he had been thinking about for a long time!
The nascent sun shone on the complicated roads of the academy, and the students of the Royal Demon Martial Arts Academy began to put on the academy's college clothes and began to travel back and forth between the classrooms and training grounds of different departments, and from time to time someone walked towards the huge magic martial arts library, giving the entire campus a touch of life.
At this time, Dole was sleepily rubbing his eyes, and then looked at the door of the vice president's room of the college, waiting helplessly, and after a while, a sound of opening the door came, and I saw a bloated nobleman walking out of it, and then shook his head regretfully and walked away, and the voice of Vice Dean Allen also came from inside.
"Come in, boy!"
Dole cheered slightly, and then walked into the vice president's room, only to see that the entire vice president's room was like Master Maris's residence, with some alchemy devices for viewing xing placed everywhere, and there was a huge three-dimensional LCD screen in ZhengzhongyΔng, and Vice Dean Allen was sitting behind a large desk. As if correcting some paperwork, he just raised his head slightly and glanced at Dole, then motioned for him to sit down, and then turned his attention to the document in front of him.
"Oh, Uncle Allen. Could it be that the nobles want to exchange money for the faculty of the Royal Demon Martial Academy? If I just refuse, if Iβ" As soon as Dole sat down, he chuckled and said slowly, but he wasn't finished yet. He was interrupted by Vice Dean Allen, who raised his head in surprise.
"How do you know?!" Vice Dean Allen's slightly surprised voice echoed in the empty Vice Dean room, but Dore shrugged his shoulders and said. β¦
"When I went out, the guy who was clearly dressed as an aristocrat had a parchment document in his hand. I happened to see the seal on it that belongs to the noble class of the Vic Empire, and this seal is generally only used for large-scale transactions or negotiations, and although the Royal Demon Academy is the first academy of the Vic Empire, the mixed management of nobles and commoners means that the academy cannot belong to the Noble Academy, so, just imagine, if you are a nobleman and the Royal Demon Academy to trade, what can you need? Money? I believe that the Academy must not be able to match the aristocracy in this regard. Then only the teachers who served in the Royal Demon Martial Academy could enter the eyes of the nobility, so, I guess. That nobleman must have come to ask you about the academy's cooperation with a certain noble family, and this cooperation is nothing more than asking the Royal Demon Martial Arts Academy to give some additional admission places to that noble family, am I right?! β
Doll said slowly, and Vice Dean Allen was more and more surprised the more he listened, and his gaze at Dole was also with some appreciation, so. As soon as Dole's words fell, Vice Dean Allen applauded slightly. Then he closed the document in his hand and said, "The analysis is good." Tell me, what's the matter with your coming to me this time? If it's my daughter's business, then I won't budge! β
A hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on Dole's face, and then he said, "Well, that's not about Mia, it's about the case you asked me to investigate." β
"Oh? Are you making progress? After hearing Dole's words, Vice Dean Allen asked in surprise, after all, the academy's law enforcement team had just given him a report stating that he could not solve the case, and at this time, Dole said that he had made progress in the investigation of the case, which made Vice Dean Allen ask in a little surprise.
"Well, but, I don't know Uncle Allen, do you know a vice president named Nice?!" Dole nodded, then said slowly.
"Nice? What do you ask him for? Could it beβ" The expression on Vice Dean Allen's face moved slightly when he heard the name Nice, and then he asked rhetorically, but before he could finish asking, Dole said.
"That's right, I suspect Ness is behind this case!"
"No way, you must be mistaken!" Vice Dean Allen suddenly showed a strange look on his face, and then said in a very affirmative tone.
Just as Dole was about to continue asking, Vice Dean Allen continued, "Nice, he passed away a year ago. β
After hearing Vice Dean Allen's words, Dole was slightly surprised for a while, then frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought in his heart: "A year ago, didn't that coincide with the time of that float boat case?" Don't?! β
Immediately, Dole asked Vice Dean Allen about the matter and location of Vice Dean Nice, and then he left Vice Dean Allen and walked in the direction of his house.
According to Vice Dean Allen's description, a year ago, according to the academy's practice, Vice Dean Nice took a team of students from the academy to an academy trial site for a routine inspection, but, unexpectedly, at that time, a major event happened in that place, saying that a precious top-level magic crystal vein was found in the area that belonged to the academy's trial ground, so Vice Dean Nice took people to the rumored area, but, not long after they all entered, there was an earth-shattering explosion, The explosion turned half of the mountain range into ashes, and the vice president of Nice and the group of cadets were condemned dead.
After thinking about it for a while, Dole still felt that something was not right, after all, from the six students who entered the abandoned building complex with unknown purposes, to the later ruins of the mysterious church, there was a shadow of Nice in it, which made Dole feel very uncomfortable, and it seemed that another thin layer of fog shrouded the truth of the matter. Unable to see clearly, Dole decided to go to the blast site. β¦
After a while, Dole was back in the house, while Sarah and Kiki, who had just returned from learning their entry-level fighting skills, were sitting in the living room resting, while Mia and Lilith had not yet returned. It should be looking for Lili's mentor, as soon as Dole entered the door, he ran directly to his room, and then took out a huge map of the continent of Alorite from the room, and then spread the map on the ground under the puzzled and strange eyes of Sarah and Kiki, and then said to Sarah and Kiki: "Don't sit still, come and help find a place name." β
Sarah and Kiki see Dole's strange movements. glanced at each other, then ran over very excitedly, and then said in unison: "Where are you looking for?!" β
Dole raised his head slightly, then looked at the map of the continent of Arlorit that covered most of the living room, and said slowly: "A place called Hilpari!" β
After a while. Mia and Lilith pushed open the door of the room with a figure, and as soon as the three of them walked in, they saw the three of Dole lying on the ground looking for something, and also found the map that covered most of the living room, and when they were puzzled, they heard Sarah suddenly shout in surprise.
"I found it!"
"I found it!" A cry of surprise came from Sarah's mouth, which also surprised the three Mia girls who had just entered the door for a while, and then stepped forward to see what Dole was doing.
I saw Dole and the others lying on a huge spread map. Sarah was excitedly pointing to a place on the map to the south, which was written in the continental language.
"Hilpari, the home of the gods!"
After hearing Sarah's shouts of surprise. Dole hurried over, then lay down on the place where the name "Shilpari" was written on the spot that Sarah pointed out with her finger, and then slid her finger all the way to the right of the map, and in a few moments, just west of Shirpari, there was a mountain range called Ticanus, and Dole's finger stopped on it. Said in his mouth.
"I've finally found you! Hey, Mia. Lilith, and Mentor Lilith. When did you guys come in? β
Just after Dole breathed a sigh of relief, he looked up and found the third daughter who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, so he asked in surprise.
"What are you working on? Hilparie, this place name sounds so familiar! Mia asked suspiciously, glancing at the place called Hilpari on the map.
However, Doll didn't answer immediately, but glanced at the confused Mentor Lili, and then at Mia, wanting to express that he didn't want Mentor Lili to be involved.
"Don't worry, Sister Lili knows us very well!" Mia smiled helplessly, then took Lili's hand, who was frowning, and said.
So, Dole stood up, and then began to explain to the unsuspecting women, and said what he suspected in his heart, and after hearing Dole's words, the women also fell into deep thought with a shocked face.
"Well, according to what you say, a few years ago, when I first entered the academy, I felt that there was something wrong with the vice president of Nice, not to mention the various rumors about him that circulated in the academy before, just because he often disappeared inexplicably, many people felt that something was not quite right." After listening to Dole's words, Mentor Lili, who had been in shock, also raised her head to look at Dole's face, and then said slowly.
"Really? Mentor Lili, can you think of anything else about the Vice Dean of Nice?! After hearing Lili's words, Dore moved and hurriedly continued to ask.
"I can't think of this all at once, why don't I wait for me to go back and think about it, and then I'll tell you tomorrow?!" Mentor Lili shook his head lightly and said, and Dole on the other side also nodded, and then said to Mia: "Mia, tomorrow you and Lilith will go to replenish some ordinary magic scroll equipment, and when we are ready, we will go to this Hilpari to see if the vice dean of Nice is really dead!" β
Mia and Lilith nodded, and then they heard Lili's half-joking voice from Tutor Lili, "Okay, you guys are getting bolder and bolder in preparing to skip class in front of Tutor!" β
However, Dole only glanced at her slightly, and then said to Sarah and Kiki, "You don't have to go, see if there is anything suspicious in the academy, and then wait for us to come back!" β
Sarah and Kiki also understood that their strength couldn't help much, so they nodded, and heard Mentor Lili say again: "Hmph, I said, how can I also be your mentor!" β
However, before Dore could speak, he saw Mia and Lilith smiling and saying something in Lili's ear, and suddenly Lili's face turned red, and then she laughed and ran into the room with the two girls. (To be continued)
