At noon, outside the gate of the Royal wizard college, Loren met the wizard gray Sal who had been waiting here. The two nodded with opposite eyes and walked towards the college.

Even after the killing of the former minister, the atmosphere in the college is still orderly and orderly, just like a rotating gear, very harmonious.

But... You can still see some clues.

The wizard apprentices, holding books and scrolls, hurried by with their heads down;

The fountains and lawns, which used to be lively and full of loud discussions and arguments, are now empty;

From time to time, I bumped into their mentor and just nodded slightly and helped his forehead, even if they had greeted each other

"Because of the death of Lord siscott, there have been many voices against wizards in the imperial capital recently." gray Sal said silently: "there are rumors everywhere that wizards killed the chancellor of the Empire."

"The patrol team of the garrison Corps has searched the college twice and specially dispatched a team of 100 people to protect the security of the college in name, but in fact it is for surveillance;"

"Pharmacist guilds, alchemy guilds and workshops, large and small wizard groups... Have been investigated to varying degrees, and some have been forced to dissolve, or have been smashed and broken down by door-to-door provocative crazy believers and refugees, making it unsustainable;"

"The apprentices did not dare to leave the college alone, and the mentors were even more self critical... If it were not for the title of master elbird and the Royal, the outside of the wizard college would have been full of protesters or ordered to suspend classes behind closed doors?"

The black haired wizard who followed him did not speak, but followed each other's footsteps.

"We don't mean to urge you. We also know that it's almost impossible to clear master Lusaka."

Gray Sutton paused with a sob in his voice: "but if it goes on like this... The Royal wizard college will be destroyed by those rumors!"

"Backed by the royal family, it is the foundation of the Empire as famous as the furnace college and the center of various industries in the imperial capital."

Without looking back, Loren said to him faintly, "in any case, your majesty will try his best to keep this college, won't he?"

"But if on that day, the rights that the imperial wizards have striven for for for hundreds of years and their status in the former Imperial Cabinet will become nothing!"

Gray Sal's expression was very heavy, and he seemed worried that Loren could not understand the meaning: "you are also a wizard. Even if it is not for his highness Brandon, do you want to see the witches in Saxony fall into the same miserable situation as the witches in lottel?!"

Loren, who wanted to say something, was stopped by gray sal. The middle-aged wizard sighed sadly: "sorry, I said too much - you are the wizard consultant of his highness Brandon. You should give priority to your highness."

"Miss Lena de sallion is now in the study on the innermost floor of the grand library, which was selected as his' special seat 'by Sir Isaac Grantham; she seems to have guessed that you will come back, so she has never left."

The middle-aged wizard nodded slightly: "please don't scold her too much. Miss Lina is actually a good person. Goodbye."

The dark haired wizard nodded, turned and walked towards the big library.

……………………………………………………

The study was very quiet, so that even Loren's footsteps and the sound of pushing the door became clear, and the sufficient light also made him have nothing to hide in front of the "black frame glasses".

At the moment of entering the door, the girl surrounded by a pile of books subconsciously raised her head. After seeing the person coming in, she sighed and threw the book aside.

The black haired wizard was a little surprised: "do you know me?"

"I don't know, but I know you must have come for Isaac Grantham." Lina desallion scratched her long messy hair with a numb expression and a resigned look:

"Tell me, how much do you want to pay?"

"Alas?" Lauren was stunned.

"Although I really want to say... You can beat me at once." the girl sighed helplessly: "but who gave me the name of desalion? If I hurt the sky palace, I will come to trouble you - this is the only way to relieve your hatred, and I don't have to be beaten."

"You... Have a lot of money?"

"No, so I can only write you a white note. How about nine out of thirteen? This is the highest level of usury in Golovin."

"Can you return it?"

"It shouldn't be." black framed glasses are indifferent, shrugging: "but if you're willing to wait, 'maybe' can give it back to you."

“……”

Calm down, Lauren's face showed a proper smile: "you misunderstood, Miss Lina, I didn't come to revenge you."

"On the contrary, I'm here to compensate you for the losses you suffered because of Isaac. At the same time, please do me a favor."

The dark haired wizard specially said the last sentence lightly, as if he wanted to take it with him.

"Oh, make it up to me?"

The stunned girl seemed surprised and subconsciously pushed the pair of big exaggerated black frame glasses: "this is really the first time someone told me so."

Well, her attention was focused on the previous one... Lauren had a kind smile on her face and crossed her hands in front of her:

"Isaac... Is a guy with strong self-esteem. It's difficult for him to admit his mistakes face to face, especially when he still has to admit that he lost to others, so I have to come forward this time."

"I know it's unfair to you, but I also ask Miss Lina to understand - as long as she can compensate you and is willing to do me a 'small favor', you can do whatever you want."

Although it is shameless to do so, there are still 27 days before the formal trial; Even just in case, it is impossible to spend too much time on a witness.

There are still many doubts about the whole case, and I still don't know who is the real murderer behind the scenes; In such a time tight situation, we have to investigate as soon as possible and ensure that the witness... Really doesn't have much choice.

******The young girl was still holding her chin in contemplation. Behind the huge mirror frame, the red eyes just like Brandon glittered with strange luster and wave light.

The dark haired wizard wisely chose to keep quiet and wait for the last condition of Miss Lina; I picked up the teapot on the table and poured a full cup of mint tea for myself.

In this world without tea, a cup of fragrant mint tea may be one of the few drinks that can refresh your mind and have no side effects.

"You just said... Any condition is OK, right?"

The girl raised her head and a pair of red pupils were incomparably bright behind her glasses: "so can 'money'?"

"No problem, is it cash or real estate?" the black haired wizard shrugged easily. He was surprised that the other party's request was so direct.

As Brandon's wizard adviser and honorary Viscount, Loren's salary is more than twice that of ordinary Royal entourage. With his accumulated assets in shenlinbao and eboden, he is not short of money at all.

If the other party wants a shop or land... Although it's not easy to do, it should still be possible for the Royal wizard college to find a way; In order to make master Lusaka clear his charges as soon as possible, they should not refuse.

"Cash, my creditors only accept cash." Lina de sallion shook her head numbly.

"Yes, about how much?"

"If you change it all into silver..." she thought for a moment: "it's almost two million."

"Poof --!!"

The hot tea gushed out and nearly spilled on the girl's face.

Loren was really shocked - in lottel and even in eboden, the full tuition of a wizard apprentice was 3000 silver coins, and the salary of His Wizard consultant was about 8000 a year.

That is to say, if you don't eat or drink, you can't pay off her debt for 200 years?!

Of course, this money can't be counted like this - the salary of Royal entourage is not high in the imperial capital, because most of these people still have additional jobs and sources of income, just as the post of former cabinet minister doesn't have any salary.

But it also shows how terrible the debt of Miss Lina is

"Well, it seems that you don't have that much money, do you?" the numb girl seemed not surprised by the result: "then you can do it another way."

“……”

"Can you play cards? If not, I can teach you."
