The Advent of the Infinite King
Page 440
Seeing that they were safe and sound, Xia Lu breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that from the beginning of the chaos, except for Iruri and Xiao Zi, all the automatic dolls at the Liverpool Puppet Fair were controlled by the inexplicable singing. Alice couldn't use her own magic circuit, but fortunately, Iruri and Xiaozi didn't receive these disturbances, so they could be protected from damage.
The sudden end of the singing also caused a huge commotion to a certain extent. The automatons in the square began to lose control, and even started indiscriminate attacks on the humans and automata beside them.
But at one corner of the fountain, a certain way was opened out of this chaos.
"Xiao Zi, take Yeye with you. Iluli and Yiwen go and hide aside, don't come out." Xie Chen whispered, looking past the heavy automatic dolls, these runaway automatic dolls can't give Xie Chen and the others did substantial harm.
Although he didn't understand why, Xie Chen quickly activated Ya Chong Xia, letting Xiao Zi control her back to the academy.
"You're not injured, are you? Xie Chen, Charlotte, Fleur, and Professor Arianthy, it's a good thing you're together." The tall figure quickly broke through a path from the automaton, leading straight to Xie Chen. in their direction.
The kind smile narrowed the eyes, and the bearded face clearly belonged to the dean, Edward Rutherford!
"No."
"No...no."
Io's weak tone obviously revealed some kind of information, but Edward's smile remained unchanged, and a strong magical coercion spread around.
Chapter One Hundred and Two
"Fortunately, the restlessness has subsided, otherwise the lives of the mayor and His Majesty will be threatened." Edward said with a smile.
Xie Chen took a deep look at him, and the seemingly respectful words actually didn't have much respect for the mayor and His Majesty, and even listed himself as a protector.
At this moment, a silver-faced figure came from not far away. Magnus, apparently, cannot bring an automaton when he comes out of the School of Ingenuity, but Magnus and the head of the school seem to have special means.
When Magnus came over, he gave Xie Chen a deep look, the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
It didn't take long for the gathered automatons to collapse one by one. It seems that the loss of Ivan directly caused the Black Prince to lose the power of absolute rule.
"Student Magnus, I am also very honored to have such an excellent puppeteer as a student like you!" Edward said bluntly, but inadvertently glanced at Xie Puppeteer from the corner of his eye. morning.
"...You're flattering me." Magnus's tone was clearly perfunctory, but Xia Lu's blue eyes, who were standing beside Xie Chen, were filled with anger, as if Xie Chen was complaining.
Xie Chen's expression remained unchanged, but with a faint smile.
"Student Xie Chen, didn't the shelling hurt you just now?" Edward looked over with concern, and there was a kind of piercing sharpness in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Xie Chen's smile deepened, "No, Professor Allianti and I happened to be watching 'Parts' in the edge area over there, so we managed to escape."
"Well... that's... that's it!" Io, that is, Professor Ailiante's face was pale, and under the shock of the headmaster's sharp eyes, the girl's panic could not be hidden at all, and there was no way to hide.
Edward said slowly, "That's great, Professor Arianthi, please let me arrest you!" It seemed slow, but in fact it was fast, Edward raised his hand and grabbed Io's wrist.
Xie Chen's eyes moved slightly, but he shot like lightning, deliberately sent his wrist to stop Edward's hand.
The slightly old and dry hand immediately grasped Xie Chen's wrist. Edward was obviously a little caught off guard by Xie Chen's reaction speed, and his shock flashed. On his usual well-defined and kind face, he looked at him with a serious and dignified expression. Xie Chen, however, withdrew his hand, "Student Xie Chen, please don't hinder Wall Kips College from arresting the suspects who caused this major riot."
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Edward very puzzled, "Master, as I said before, when the riot happened, Professor Io and I were looking at those 'parts' at the edge of the square. Testify, what does this riot have to do with Professor Ariantti?"
Edward stared at Xie Chen with sharp eyes. The magical power gathered into a powerful aura, pressing on Xie Chen like a mountain. Xia Lu and Fleur felt that they didn't dare to breathe out, and Io, who was closest to them, was even more His face was pale, but facing the coercion of the number one magician in Western Europe, Xie Chen was like a green pine standing against the wind, his face remained calm and calm.
He spread his hands helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, his playful eyes were sharp, and he stared at Edward without showing any weakness, "Is the dean trying to force people?"
Edward's brows furrowed a little bit, "Everyone knows that this kind of research project is only being researched by Aliante, and today's matter cannot be concluded, but Professor Aliante undoubtedly has the biggest suspicion. Where is the professor? Would you like to cooperate with us?"
The sharp and deep gaze was aimed at the green-haired girl again. Io was like a panicked bunny, at a loss under Edward's gaze. She has already mentioned so many things, if she admits it now, she will undoubtedly ignore Xie Chen.
She bit her lip, unconsciously her right hand had reached Xie Chen's hand, as if drawing strength from Xie Chen, she squeezed Xie Chen's hand slightly, and looked firmly at the dean, "Master dean, everything is true As classmate Xie Chen said, in fact, none of you are optimistic about the project I am researching, and now I have only made a little progress, so how could such a big matter have anything to do with me."
As the girl spoke, she still couldn't face Edward directly. Her long eyelashes had fallen down, covering her emerald green pupils. Judging from her flickering eyelashes and expression, what she said was really unbelievable.
Edward was silent, and suddenly smiled kindly again, his eyes resting on Xie Chen, "Student Xie Chen, I also hope that this matter has nothing to do with Professor Ailiante, but the college, the mayor, and His Royal Highness will definitely Thoroughly investigate this matter, we will definitely not wrong the good people, nor will we let any bad people go.”
The meaningful words were like knocking a mountain to shake a tiger, making the green-haired girl next to Xie Chen tremble.
Xie Chen held Io's hand tightly, looking back at Edward with a sharp look hidden in his casual expression, with a playful smile on his lips, "Really? I also hope that this matter will be thoroughly investigated as soon as possible. Never let the so-called 'bad guys' go!"
Xie Chen's words also carried unfinished meanings, especially the "bad guy" with an emphatic tone, which directly knocked Edward's face off. Edward's face was a little gloomy, but he still cared about his reputation and smiled heartily. Twice, like an elder looking at an ignorant junior, he raised his hand and patted Xie Chen on the shoulder twice, then turned and walked back.
"Student Magnus, it seems that we have to thoroughly investigate this matter first. It's rather chaotic now. It's better for you, Mr. Xie Chen, to go back to the School of Ingenuity as soon as possible."
Edward strode forward, Magnus with a silver face looked indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything just now, silently followed behind the dean.
The cracks in the square outside the alley that were bombarded by shells still existed. When Edward and Magnus were completely out of sight, Io suddenly let go of Xie Chen's hand, his legs slipped down as if powerless, and he knelt on the ground , covering his face and crying.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Xie Chen stretched out his hand to pick up the green-haired girl, "If you really feel that being punished can make up for the guilt in your heart, then you should go and surrender to the dean!"
The cold tone made Io, who was blindly immersed in sadness, stop crying, with teardrops hanging on his eyelashes, he looked at Xie Chen who was wandering aside, as if trying to judge whether what he said was true or not.
"I didn't tell the truth from the beginning, classmate Xie Chen has already declared war on the academy for me, how can I give up classmate Xie Chen and do such a thing!" Yi Ou's mind was also clear.
"Compared with these, I think Ewen Jielin is the most important." Xie Chen looked at Io meaningfully, and his words hit seven inches straight.
Yiwen Jielin has now followed Yeye and the others back to the academy. Although everything in the academy is unknown, if she can't get over the hurdle in her heart, saving Io is the same as not being saved.
The rhythmic sound of clogs rattling, and the coquettish beauty in the revealing kimono slowly walked into the alley from not far away.
"Ariantie's 'Infinite Chain Reaction'? The magical 'storm' covering this city is really amazing, an incomparably exquisite 'dominant' magic!" Nitro smiled and walked over, lazily leaning against the alleyway On the wall in the center, the pipe is brought to the mouth and smoked. This decadent and gorgeous beauty is like an oil painting at the end of the aristocracy in the 17th century.
Io's silent eyes lit up instantly, and his lips squirmed to look at the slender woman. The woman exuded the breath of poppy and was wearing an oriental-style kimono.
"Hana...Hanayusai-sama..." Io instantly realized who this beautiful woman was, and his quiet green eyes suddenly brightened, because seeing the idol in his heart, there was a moving look on his pale face. flush.
Xie Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Nitzi, plucked his ears casually, with a trace of impatience hidden in his tone, "What's the matter, Nitzi, what's wrong with those souls in the military?"
Nitro smiled lightly, and shifted his gaze from Io to Xie Chen, "You were indeed reckless this time, but the military surprisingly shut up, you should pay attention to your own safety, you have already provoked Britain and France, if you talk to the academy again Face to face, that's not good."
Xie Chen nodded, with a casual expression, he obviously didn't take the danger mentioned by Nitroz seriously.
"Hanayuzai... my... my lord." Io got up from the ground, staring at Nitzi with burning eyes, "I am your big fan, I have a mobile phone for your writings and ordinary speeches, and I am very interested in your works. I admire it very much, can you sign it for me?"
Nitzi curled her lips into a smile, and her red lips were lazy, "Of course, Professor Ailianti, I am also very interested in your book!"
"Master, let's hurry back to the academy as soon as possible. It's probably... not good." The silver-haired Alice frowned slightly, as if she had anticipated something, with complicated thoughts rolling in her green eyes.
A pigeon crossed the square and landed on Nitro's shoulder.
Nitro took a letter from its feet.
——This is a beast-type automaton specially used for sending messages.
"It looks really bad." Nitro's eyes lingered on Alice's face for a moment, then turned to Xie Chen and said, "The academy has sentenced Ailiante to death, Xie Chen, what do you want to do? Did you do it?"
Xie Chen's eyes sank slightly, and there was a sarcasm between his brows, "Did you give any reason?"
Nitro looked at Io, who was frozen there because of his words, with scrutiny in his eyes, "It is said that Io was sentenced to death for the crime of treason."
"Sure enough, it's the head of the school." Xie Chen's playful tone was tinged with coldness. Standing behind him, Alice clenched her fists tightly. There seemed to be a flash of pain in her eyes. Even though it was her father, But that hypocritical mask has never been taken off.
"I want to see Ivan." The poor little girl in the center of the storm suddenly spoke. Her face was so pale that it was transparent, and there was still a touch of determination between her brows. Although she was only 17 years old, as a genius professor, her mind and The sensitivity to things is not inferior to others.
"Okay, then let's go back." Xie Chen said calmly.
Xia Lu and Fleur look a little worried. After all, everyone knows that now that they have returned to the academy, what they are facing is not a gentle greeting, but more likely to be arrested by force. But since Xie Chen made such a decision, no matter it is a bloody storm, they will Let's go together too!
Walpurgis College, because of the violent incident in the square outside, the students who went out returned at this time. The black hole of the gun hole showed a strong threat. Xie Chen, Alice, Io and the others returned. When he was inside the academy, he didn't receive any obstruction.
The college was full of students talking about the riots in the square. At the same time, in this atmosphere of panic and talking, it was extremely calm. There was no dean, no discipline committee, and no guards.
As if the person who was sentenced to death was not Aliante, she was calm but abnormal.
Io breathed a sigh of relief. They had already reached the middle of the North-South Avenue. Among the students coming and going, Xie Chen and his group didn't look obtrusive. The direction is to go to the right. If there is nothing to do, it is obvious that Io has no reason to stay with Xie Chen and the others, and the dormitory supervisor does not allow it.
"Then I'll go back first, maybe Lord Hualiuzhai heard it wrong." Io lowered his head, his green eyes shining brightly, and turned to Xie Chen, "Thank you, classmate Xie Chen."
How could you hear me wrong?After entering the academy, the students watched and pointed secretly, it was clear that the announcement about Ailiante had been posted.
"Treasure!" Xie Chen said pointedly.
Io's eyelashes flickered a few times, he nodded heavily, and hurriedly walked towards the engineering department.
"Xie Chen, are you leaving Io alone?" Xia Lu stared at Io's thin back with her blue eyes, feeling a little unbearable.
Obviously, everyone can see clearly the green-haired girl's decision. She wants to sacrifice herself.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
Xie Chen looked at the back of the girl leaving, with eyes that Xia Lu and Fu Lei couldn't understand, raised his eyebrows lightly, "It's not that simple, so let her go."
"Master!" The girl in black kimono, Yeye, Iluli, and Xiaozi, as soon as they sensed Xie Chen's presence in the academy, they rushed out like flying, and surrounded Xie Chen.
Sigmund and Garm, who were left in the academy, also soon came to Xia Lu and Fleur's side.
Nitro, who originally appeared in the square, did not follow into the academy. According to her words, she had more important things to do.
Xie Chen looked at Xue Yuehua, his pupils shrank, "Where's Yiwen Jielin?"
That's right, didn't Yeye and Iruri bring back that green-haired automaton?
Yeye and Yiluli lowered their heads at the same time, Xiaozi pointed her fingers, but explained in a weak tone, "We came back according to the master's order. There was nothing wrong at first, but on the way to help Yiwenjielin back to the dormitory, Inexplicably, a group of people came out of the bushes, without the master's control, the three of us joined forces and couldn't stop them, and Ewen Jielin was snatched away by them."
Xie Chen slowly narrowed his eyes, covering the sharp light in his pupils, who dares to do something in the academy and has such great energy, except for that ambitious Edmond?
Since there is no way to let this matter go, let him make it a big deal. Since Edmond dares to do such a thing, don't think that he can get out of it unscathed.
"It's okay, it's not your fault." Xie Chen said slowly, with an unusually calm expression.
"Xia Lu, Fleur, you two go back to the dormitory first, and Alice too, don't get involved in this matter."
Without looking at Xia Lu and Fu Lei's expressions, Xie Chen continued to make arrangements, "Xiao Zi!"
"Yes, Master."
Whispering in his ear, Xie Chen injected magic power into Xiao Zi's body, and handed over the control of the magic circuit to Xiao Zi, then looked slightly towards the direction of the clock tower of the academy.
"Iluli and Yeye follow me."
