before he was crowned king

The black shadow stood on the bell tower of Joshua College, watching several guards rushing into the underground storage room with torches, and then the flames disappeared.Only the unguarded wrought iron gate of the academy where the bells were fading away was exposed in his vision.

He stuffed the things into his arms, let out a breath, then suddenly spread his arms and jumped down.The bell tower is thirty feet above the ground, facing such a powerful impact is enough to kill, but the black shadow, like claws, firmly climbed on the overhanging eaves of the iron gate, turned over, and ran away to the north. go.

A little white light flickered above the dark dense forest, and black shadows clung to the back of the tree trunks, waiting for the ghostly and soundless seekers to pass by.

"There are so many god-favored people here. It seems that such things are more important than imagined." The black shadow's breathing is a little disordered, and madness is a unique talent of sub-orcs. Secrets of strength and speed.

However, this secret technique has unavoidable disadvantages, one is that the duration of the burst is too short; the other is that the backlash effect after berserk is obvious.

He spent too long evading arrest, so just in case, he had to rush back to the dormitory with the little time left.

The area of ​​the Imperial Academy of Magic is not small, and Sombra took the shortest shortcut on the terrain, which is not suitable for ordinary people.Fences, buildings, forest barriers... These ordinary obstacles are useless to Heiying. After ten minutes of continuous speeding, the dilapidated Rose Pavilion finally appeared in front of him.

The black shadow suddenly stopped and hid in the bushes. Within three seconds, the blond youth walked over from the corner.

"Damn it." The backlash effect was faster than expected, his vision had already begun to blur, and he might lose consciousness completely after a while.

In order to ensure that the whole process went smoothly, he asked for sick leave from the school today, and used the class time during the day to go to Joshua Academy to survey the operation site.

Right now he'd better avoid the possibility of encountering someone he'd seen in the stair hallway.

After thinking briefly, the black shadow scanned the surroundings, inserted its sharp and sharp minions like crescent moons into the cracks in the bricks, and then climbed up like a gecko in the night.

The signs of his body turning into beasts had disappeared, and his big hands with bulging veins clung to the window frame. With a bang, with the last of his consciousness, Hei Ying threw himself into the room with force from his waist and abdomen, and he passed out completely.

Sean was walking up the stairs when a muffled sound from the fourth floor caught his attention.

"Go up and have a look." Herrell's voice sounded beside his ears.

"Why?" Sean asked.

The black cat didn't respond, it leaped off Sean's shoulder and up the steps of the stairs without a sound.

Herrell behaved a little abnormally, Sean had no choice but to follow.

The Rose Pavilion is the earliest building of the college. The corridors at night are very dark. Every few steps you walk, there will be starlight candles on the walls. When you reach the fourth floor, there is a creaking sound from an open door.

Sean walked towards the door, he didn't push it easily, but looked in through the gap.

The facing windows were wide open to let in the wind.The black cat was holding something in its mouth, and it wagged its tail and stood on top of a lying corpse.

After Sean was slightly startled, he immediately walked into the room and closed the wooden door tightly.

"What's going on here?" Sean asked in a hoarse voice, looking into those rosy pupils.

Before Herrell could answer, Sean lowered his body and scanned the motionless man lying on the ground.

Under the deserted and dim moonlight, Sean recognized him as the man sitting beside him at the opening ceremony.

They had the same class three times a week. Although they didn't communicate much with each other, Sean only found out today that the other party lived upstairs.

"Kayson." Sean recalled Professor Udyr calling the other person's name, and then stretched out his finger to sniff the man.

Kaysen was not dead, just passed out.

"He fell here by himself," said Herrell, "and I'm here to get something."

"What did you take from him?" Sean raised his head, and there seemed to be something under the black cat's paw.

"I'm not going to tell you." Herrell said bluntly.

Sean frowned, looked into his rosy eyes, and said in a serious tone, "One thing was stolen from the academy tonight."

Herrell was silent.

"I have observed that his nails are very special." Sean held the man's muscular forearm, exposing the other's hand, "and now the top of his nails have become pointed."

"So, what does this mean?"

Sean carefully lifted off the black felt hat that the man had never taken off, and put aside his thick and soft brown hair, revealing a pair of beast ears.

"He is a commoner student in our college, or a sub-orc man with obvious atavism." Sean restored the felt hat, "I don't know how he got into the school, but Heller, you should know this seriousness of the matter."

"You want me to give up something like this?" Herrell's tone was unclear.

"No." Sean stared into the eyes of the black cat, his voice was clear, "As you said, after the conclusion of the contract, our fate has been tied together. I will help you get what you need."

"But Helle, you shouldn't hide from me."

"Human, the tone of your words just annoyed me."

"Sorry." Sean said lightly, "but you should understand what I mean."

The black cat was silent for a moment, then rolled the things under its paws to Sean.

It was an irregular black hard object. Sean touched it with his hands, but he couldn't tell the real material of the object.

"This is my God Core." Helear said.

Sean paused, his pupils constricted slightly.

"It's just a part. Although the appearance has changed, I can faintly feel it." Herrell's voice was flat, "But because it has been away from my body for too long, it has lost its activity and has no effect."

"Your body?" Sean remembered that Herrell hadn't appeared in human form since leaving Rose Manor.

"I don't remember, I don't know where I went." The black cat's tone was a little puzzled.

"Why did your God Core appear in the Imperial Academy of Magic? You said that your God Core was poached by someone." Sean paused and said, "But I think the only one who can poach your God Core should be the God of Light." gone."

"I don't know." Herrell shook her head, "I just know it's something that belongs to me."

Sean wanted to come for a while, and quickly ran through the information he knew, "Take your god core away."

"Then what should we do with this person? When he wakes up, he will find that things are missing." The furry paws pressed down on the fallen man, "Are you going to kill him?"

"No, he wants to stay, he is the criminal who stole tonight."

"Ah, you're keeping him as a scapegoat."

The whispered conversation faded away, and the door of this room was closed tightly again.

A new week begins with a good morning with Professor Udyr's brief history of the origins of magic.Sean was sitting in the classroom, seemingly taking notes, but his eyes were actually observing the man wearing a felt hat diagonally across from him.

"Kayson, you answer."

"Sorry, teacher, I didn't hear your question clearly." Kaisen apologized, but his voice was quickly covered by Professor Udyr's complaints.

Absence of what others say, lack of energy caused by anxiety... All these manifestations can reflect a person's restless and flustered state of mind.

What happened that night seemed to be revealed in such a silent manner, the entire college was calm, and the college did not give any relevant results or explanations to the students about the sudden notice that day.But Sean knew that this matter might not end so easily. After all, the things the college wanted hadn't been recovered, and the thief who mingled with the students hadn't been caught yet.

"Okay, that's all for today's class. Go back and remember to finish the exposition, and bring it to the next class. Remember! It will determine whether you can get excellent grades in this class." Udyr waved the teaching stick with a full tone is a threat.

The classroom was full of chaos, Sean tidied up the table and was about to go to the next class.

Someone stood at his desk.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the man's stern face under the felt hat.

"Hello, Sean, I'm Kaisen, and I'm an earth-type magician." The voice in the man's throat was quite gentle, not like a violent sub-orc man.

"I know you, Kaisen." Sean nodded with a friendly tone, "You didn't come to last week's class, did you feel unwell?"

When referring to that day, Kaisen's voice was obviously much stiffer, "Ah, I was sick that day."

"It turned out to be like this. Fortunately, your body looks good now." Sean said.

"Thank you." Kaisen looked at the blond young man with a natural expression, his heart churning and complicated.

The thing he stole from the vault that night was gone.

He clearly understood that this incident was not done by the academy, but that someone took something from him while he was unconscious.

Kaisen has a habit of stuffing a small leaf under his door every day.And when he woke up that day, the leaves in the crack of the door had disappeared.

This shows that the other party did not come in through the window, but through the door.

Based on this, he roughly deduced that this incident was most likely done by someone in the Rose Hall.

When thinking of this, the first thing that popped up in Kaisen's mind was this blond young man named Sean.

No evidence, no clues, he just relied on intuition.

Perhaps it was also because the other party was the last person he saw before losing consciousness.

"By the way, what do you want from me?" the blond youth asked.

"I……"

"Do you want the notes from last week?" The blond youth raised his eyebrows slightly and took out a roll of parchment.

Kaisen suddenly looked at the young man silently, somehow he became more and more confused because of the other party's extremely natural response.

It's so smooth, it's kind of like rehearsing it in advance.

"Although I was sick last week, I came to Professor Udyr's class this morning." A sharp cold light flashed in Kaisen's eyes, "Why are you so sure that I didn't come? Sean."
