Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly fell on the man who stood up. Compared with the luxurious clothes of most people present, the man was also wearing a large and simple robe in this winter, covering his somewhat thin figure, but He is also somewhat out of tune with the people around him.
Even the five poorest warlock players can still match the adventurer suit given by the Arthur Deluxe Edition.
And Zhao Xu also noticed that the other party was one of the few people who didn't laugh secretly just now.
Except for the five absent personnel, Zhao Xu basically remembered clearly the demeanor of the remaining twenty-five people from just now to now. This is also the effect of intelligence becoming real.
In particular, he noticed that the tone of the other party's confession was very gentle, as if he was standing up and reciting.
It's not the kind of pretentious and unconvincing hypocrisy in admitting mistakes, nor is it the kind of guilty and worried admissions that are afraid of serious consequences.
As if accepting his fate, he stood up, recited, finished, and accepted the punishment.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu also understood.
It turns out that a class of thirty people in front of me has formed a sufficiently strict society.
And for this handsome student with a cold appearance, being able to stand up also means that he is the scapegoat elected by the small organization "the class".
After Zhao Xu recalled the other party's name on the information, he stood silently for more than ten seconds. It was only when someone started to feel strange that Zhao Xu raised his hand to signal the other party to come out.
However, he looked at the other students who were about to move and said directly: "If you have nothing to do, just sit here obediently, otherwise it will be another spell later."
As he spoke, he raised the blank scroll in his hand, and the invisible pressure silenced everyone present.
For a while, everyone was more cautious before finding out the details of Zhao Xu, a ruthless person who raised his hand to smash a scroll of three to four hundred gold coins.
After hearing Zhao Xu's instructions, the indifferent student was silent for a while, then followed him out and walked to another adjacent classroom.
"I don't think you look like you're being bullied, right?" Zhao Xu looked at the student named Eliton and said.
He has memorized the list of the entire class, which also contains a brief introduction of these students. Of course, the most important part is that each student is a descendant of which family and which mage.
It was even clear which mage, priest or even big shot in Mystra specifically asked for help and who needed care.
Generally, people who are bullied have a very weak aura and even walk with their heads down.
But what Zhao Xu saw from this Eliton was a sense of indifference that didn't care about life and death.
Even players with five resurrection stones have never had this mentality in the game. Those who say they won't kill themselves don't necessarily mean they are not afraid of death.
"No, if you do it, just stand up and admit it." Eliton lowered his head slightly, his voice was weak and he didn't want to look directly at Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu immediately regained the mentality that he had once taught the trainee warriors under his command.
Seeing that the other party was not very cooperative, he started to attack directly, "Looking at you looking so bitter and resentful, it doesn't look like you will be bullied into taking the blame? Tell me?"
But Eliton, who also had black hair and looked a little pale due to malnutrition, still did not reply directly to Zhao Xu's question.
Zhao Xu could only grin at this. He didn't expect that one day he would also be a caring counselor and conduct inducing conversations.
It's a pity that he didn't have any good candidates, otherwise there would be no need to talk nonsense here.
Now that Eliton was alone in front of him, he could better see the melancholy temperament in him. Coupled with his handsome face, in their overcrowded university, they relied on their appearance and temperament to earn money for a week. Change the role of your girlfriend.
"Do you think the group of people sitting in the next class who are living and waiting to die relying on the legacy of their ancestors can help you take revenge? They can't even become mages, so how can they help you?"
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's tone began to carry the edge of a knife, piercing into Eliton's heart bit by bit, and also made the other person's face become more energetic.
"How did you know that I wanted to take revenge?" Eliton said, his voice trembling. "This kind of material will not be published in the school's student information. After all, it is not a glorious thing. The dean's secretary assistant also just came in. That’s all, the most she has heard is that she doesn’t know many details.”
"And if she wants to remind you, a useless person like me cannot be ranked at the forefront." As he spoke, Eliton looked deeply at Zhao Xu, his voice a little high.
He also couldn't figure out the intentions of the class teacher who was leaning on his cane leisurely at the moment, as if waiting for afternoon tea.
Because no matter from which angle you look at it, this man looks very similar to a well-educated scholar with a noble background.
That's why the decisive attitude of the other party just now formed a huge contrast, which is why it so easily shocked everyone. When honest people fight for their lives, they will become even more ruthless.
Suddenly, Eliton thought of the strange hobbies of some aristocratic families, and then thought of the two of them staying in the classroom at this time, and a chill filled his heart.
On the other side, Zhao Xu saw that the other party was still able to calmly analyze his channels for obtaining information under such secret memories that hurt his heart, and nodded with satisfaction. At least he knew how to use his brain.
The Eliton in front of him was also born in a mage family in Mystra. He finally became a mage in the third generation and met the minimum recognition standard of a "mage family" issued by Mystra.
Who knew that in that year, the Eliton family would suffer a murder. His grandfather and grandmother arrived, and his father and brother, together with no less than three mages, together with seven or eight servants, were massacred. More than ten members of the family were massacred.
It happened that Elyton and his mother returned to their parents' home that day, and they just escaped this disaster, and they became orphans and widows from then on.
Zhao Xu, who knew the inside story that year, looked at the other party, but did not show any sympathy, "You know, Arthur's major towns collect local information every year and feed it back to the 'source of knowledge'. Such cruel people as yours Some clues can be found about the murder case, local knowledge and historical knowledge."
At this time, Zhao Xu did not admit that he had actually failed the knowledge check just now.
However, the monk priest's level 1 ability "Learning" allows him to retrieve some local legends and even secret information like a bard.
At this time, Zhao Xu already had many rich means. Even if one failed, he could still achieve his goal through another channel.
This is also the powerful advantage of his dual elites of mage, file, and scholar. The two professional lines are repeated and also mean more possibilities.
After hearing what Zhao Xu said, Eliton's face turned a little rosy.
After understanding that this was not the case, he sighed: "Can you do this just without any magical knowledge and skills?"
"Although it's ridiculous, if your level is high enough, you can even retrieve the truth of some past events with your knowledge and skills." Zhao Xu answered.
At this time, Eliton himself also fell into deep thought, "Can't the spell achieve more powerful effects?"
"Do you suspect there is an inside story about what happened back then?" Zhao Xu vaguely understood the meaning of the other party's words.
But Eliton avoided answering.
"Although I haven't read the files yet, I'm just judging based on the knowledge I retrieved. But I can also tell you responsibly that any murder case involving a mage, especially one that has become a family."
"It is definitely a joint investigation by multiple departments in Mystra. Unless the Seven Giants intervene, no one can cover it up with one hand. The fact that you can still go to school successfully here means that the matter back then has been concluded. The motive may be There are other possibilities, but the fact of the murder is absolutely conclusive and cannot be overturned by the evidence. So the murderer is definitely the murderer."
Zhao Xu said calmly, "If you think the murderer back then was someone else, then I advise you not to waste your efforts. Because really, it is the kind of fraud that only happens once in a million. With your mentor's ability, you can also Unrevealable.”
Zhao Xu spoke very firmly before, but in the end, in order to avoid being slapped in the face, he still left a gap.
He believed that the Eliton in front of him was not that kind of stubborn fool, and would not foolishly keep shouting that he wanted to investigate clearly.
But Eliton shook his head directly, "I'm sure the murderer is him."
After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Xu with longing eyes, "But I know that I can't take revenge. The moment I failed the mage examination, I knew that my path was cut off."
"Even if I rely on the sympathy and shelter of other mage families to enter here to receive the next-level 'mentor' professional training, I know that there is no hope of revenge. Only at level 16 can I cast a limited number of five-ring spells, which can cause continuous damage. How can a 'mentor' profession that doesn't even have arcane magic allow me to successfully take revenge!"
Eliton said with a hint of crying in his voice.
"Hey, you grown man, why are you crying?" Zhao Xu had no sympathy. If the girl across from him cried, he could still comfort her a little.
When he heard Zhao Xu's ridicule, Eliton was not angry and immediately wiped away his tears, just like he had done for the past ten years.
"Mage Zhongxia, I know you are a mage. You and the big shots in the Floating City feel the same danger to me." Eliton said, panting due to emotion.
"Although you pretended to use the scroll to cast spells just now, I still saw that you actually secretly touched the dust on the scroll first. This extra action should be some kind of casting material. And I heard them say that the spell you cast is If you have the third-level spell 'Snowstorm', then you are a third-level mage."
Eliton suddenly stood up and bowed deeply towards Zhao Xu, "If you can help me get revenge, I will sell you my life."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but be surprised. With the other party's observation and perception abilities, it would be a pity not to become a priest.
However, it is not easy for me to become a pastor due to my bitterness and hatred. Once one's own obsession conflicts with devotion to the gods, things will often develop in an uncontrollable direction.
"You have to do your own revenge. It would be meaningless if someone else does it for you." Zhao Xu refused.
Eliton did not raise his head and kept bowing, "I will only become a 'mentor' in this life. Every time time passes, the gap between me and my enemy becomes wider. There is no hope anymore."
Eliton gritted his teeth to prevent tears from falling from his eyes.
Only when he reached a certain level of despair could he convince himself to accept this fact.
Zhao Xu smiled softly. If he was so stubborn, why was he talking nonsense to the other party for so long
In the spacious sewers of Mystra, there are many miserable people who cannot see the light of day.
"What if I can make you a mage?"
