noble magician

Hearing this answer, Lance's expression suddenly became strange. What kind of life experience...Looking at Pheton again, a strangeness flashed across his face, but he covered it up in an instant.But then he glanced at Lance, that look meant nothing, and Lance looked back at him inexplicably.

"I hope you can answer my question honestly, this is also for your safety." Fitton reminded.

Lei Zhe lowered his face and asked with a superior expression: "You mean I'm lying?"

"Just last night, another incident happened in the city. A nobleman was killed in a hotel." Fiton did not respond to Lei Zhe's pressing question, but talked about something else.

"This hotel is cheap, and the rooms are not much better. It doesn't look like a place where a nobleman would go. In fact, he went with another person, who had disappeared when the body was found. And according to our examination of the body, he had been in heat before he died."

The faces of the people in the room changed. Compared with the fact that a nobleman was killed, it was because of the hint in Phaedon's words that people were more concerned.Even Gane, who had been with the old god all the time, paused visibly.

"Do you understand what I mean? This nobleman was lured by that person to open a room in a hotel, and then he was killed in passion. He must have never realized that he was fooled before he died."

"I don't understand what you mean, Phaidon." Lei Zhe said word by word, with an ugly expression on his face, "Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?"

Lance's eyes flickered, and he tried his best to control his anger. This Phyton actually said such words in front of him.

"I can understand your feelings, but imagine that you were with him twice in a row when you were assassinated outside. This is really worth thinking about..."

Lei Zhe's face became more and more ugly, and he was already on the verge of breaking out.At this moment, Gagne spoke lightly, interrupting Phyton's speech.

"Lance, let me ask you." He looked at Lance and said, "Do you recognize these three people?"

Everyone present was baffled by this abrupt question. If they recognized it, they would naturally not admit it. Isn't this a white question?

Lance was also in the same mood. He looked back at his teacher, who was staring at him without any emotion in his eyes.

"I don't know them." Lance shook his head. "This matter has nothing to do with me, but I am willing to accept the investigation."

During his speech, Gagne's eyes did not move. At this moment, he turned to Phaedon and said, "I trust my students."

"Perhaps your trust is in the hands of some people. Your decision may cause us to lose important clues, thus threatening the safety of the nobles. I only ask you to let him cooperate with the investigation. This is a reasonable request." Fei Dun still refused to give up. In his opinion, it is very necessary to investigate Lance as a suspect.

"Are you doubting my judgment or the West family's judgment?" Gagne looked at Fiton coldly and asked.

Pheton paused, his words were casual, but already implied a threat.It was a matter of the personal safety of the supreme nobleman, he never thought that Ganesi Zoan would shelter a commoner student to such an extent.

Gagne continued: "I understand your position, but Lei Zhe himself has testified that this matter has nothing to do with my students. This is the end of the matter. I hope to see your investigation make progress in other areas. .”

Although Pheton was dissatisfied, he had nothing to do with Gagne's decision.There were two Xi Zuoan sitting in front of him, one of them was the victim, they all unanimously defended Lance, the suspect, what else could they do but obey Pheton?

He put away his private emotions and responded that he knew.

Gagne smiled: "Then, now we can talk about the identities of those three people."

"That's right. Our investigation found that the veteran-level magician was named Harold Bo. He had previously served the Noble Vitti family and personally participated in the rebellion incident, so he was also on the death penalty list. But because of that There were not enough manpower at the time, and there was a mistake in the arrest process, which allowed him to escape. However, according to the execution records, the temple successfully arrested his wife and executed him." Phaidon said seriously.

Nobivithi, rebellion, execution.

Every time Pheton said one more word, Lance's face became ugly, and his hands were clenched into fists unconsciously, with such force that the bones of his raised hands were as sharp as blades.

When Lei Zhe saw Lance's performance, he only thought that he was unhappy because he was misunderstood, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. This was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Fitton also noticed it, but he had a different opinion from Lei Zhe, and Lance's performance made him pay more attention.

But Pheton is still a winking person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit as the captain of the guard. He pretended not to see this scene, and continued talking as if nothing had happened.

"The other two apprentice-level magicians are in a similar situation. They have relatives who were executed, but they themselves should be exiled. It is estimated that they escaped for the same reason."

Gagne lowered his head in thought, his face still showed no expression. After a while, he asked, "How many people like them were convicted but not arrested?"

Pheton showed a troubled look, he hesitated for a moment before answering: "This... I'm afraid it's hard to count, and after so many years, many children from back then have grown up..."

Back then, the Nobiviti family had a lot of followers. After that incident, the whole Doya was in chaos, and there was a serious shortage of manpower, not to mention that the temple guard itself had many Nobiviti followers.At that time, the focus of work was mainly on arresting the nobles, while the civilian magicians who were relatively less involved in the rebellion had more time to escape.

The so-called centipede is dead but not stiff, not to mention that the Nobiviti family was prosperous at the time, and the power in the hands of the supreme nobles was terrifying.

Ganesh should know all these things.

Lance and Lei Zhe were silent when they heard this, obviously imagining the scene at that time.It is really unimaginable that the destruction of a supreme nobleman has so many ramifications.

Although they didn't personally participate in it, but not many years have passed since the incident happened. They either heard about it, read it from a book, or... watched with their own eyes the escaped magician who was caught and sentenced to death.All this shows that: that incident actually happened in the not-too-distant past, and its aftermath is still unresolved.

Phyton glanced at Gagne, but the other party's gaze was fixed in the air, not knowing what he was thinking.

He hesitated for a while and continued: "Because there are too many magicians involved, over the years, the temple has pardoned the crimes of some commoner magicians who have less connections, but still reserves the right to monitor. Most magicians have accepted this. A little bit, to start living again, and a part... that never showed up."

Gagne showed a tired look on his face. He rubbed the center of his brows and said, "I've finished the business of this trip, so I can deal with the rest." After finishing speaking, he called Lei Zhe and Lance He was planning to leave, but it seemed that he didn't want to be too meddlesome.

This really surprised Pheton. He heard that Ganesi Zoan intended to be a teacher in the academy for the rest of his life. At that time, he still refused to believe that, as a supreme nobleman, how could he spend all his time on teaching?But now it seems that this rumor is actually true?

Gagne didn't care what Fitton was thinking, he, Lei Zhe, and Lance walked out of the gate of the temple, and asked Lance, "Where are you going next?"

Before Lance could answer, Lei Zhe had an idea in his eyes, and said ahead of him, "Why don't you go to my house? Anyway, it doesn't matter where you go to perform the mission."

Lance froze for a moment, thinking of the last time he was in Westbourne Mansion, he still didn't like these noble mansions, so he shook his head and said, "I'm going back to my home."

"Then get in the carriage, and I'll ask the coachman to take you back."

Lei Zhe wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Gagne, so he closed his mouth wearily.

"Thank you, teacher." In fact, it doesn't matter if you walk back to Lance, but Gane has already spoken, so there is no need for him to refuse.

After delivering Lance, Gagne's carriage started heading towards Xi Zuoan's house.The last time Gane found Lei Zhe, he let him go back by himself, and he himself returned to the academy.Considering that Ganesh didn't like going home, Lei Zhe asked with some surprise: "Are you planning to go home?"

Gagne just nodded, his gaze still staying on the book in his hand.

After several days of exhaustion, the carriage finally brought the two of them back to Xi Zuo'an's home. After Lei Zhe's father taught him a lesson, he left Gagne to talk alone in the study.

"I heard that you accepted a student?" Gavin Xizuoan opened his mouth and asked.It is nothing unusual to accept students, but Gagne seldom accepts students, that's all. He apparently also heard about what happened in the magician's temple in Burning Wind City.

"Yeah." Gagne replied.

Seeing that he was unwilling to explain, Lei Zhe's father, Gai Wen, gave up and said, "The incident of Lei Zhe being attacked may not be simple. This is the second time it has happened, and there have been many cases of other nobles As for the assassination, that group probably planned to do something. It seems necessary to take some measures."

Speaking of this, he paused, "But your student's matter, since you have handled it like this, I will respect your decision, you don't have to worry."

A supreme nobleman said that "it is necessary to take some measures", and the subsequent movement must not be too small. It seems that in the next few days, whether it is the magician temples in various places or the followers of various families Got busy.

But obviously, Gagne didn't care about all these things, he thanked his brother for Lance's matter, and then asked: "Call me back, is there anything else?"

"Father will come home in a few days, and you haven't been back for a long time, so just take this opportunity to get together." Lei Zhe's father said, "There is a banquet tomorrow night, you should also attend."

Gagne looked at his brother hesitantly, but he continued: "I know what you're thinking, but after so many years, it's time to pass. Gagne, it's time for you to marry a gentle and virtuous wife and start a family. .”

Gagne frowned, seeming to be very resistant to this matter, and after a while he said: "I plan to stay in the academy for the rest of my life, you know I'm not joking, brother."

Lei Zhe's father pondered for a while.

"Leave at least one offspring for the Xi Zuo'an family, which is considered to have fulfilled your obligation. After that, it's up to you to do whatever you want."

Gagne was only silent when he heard the words, and then said in a low voice: "I'm going back to my room first." Before waiting for his brother's consent, he walked out of the study first.Behind him, Gavin Sizoan sighed slightly.

After Gagne left, Lei Zhe's father sat back at the desk, and there were a few letters scattered on the desk.He picked up a few of the letters casually, browsed through them, and muttered to himself: "Is the recent personnel changes in the Kago family too frequent?"
