Sitting on the chair in the north was a young lady wearing a black clerk uniform, holding a writing board and a fountain pen. She looked younger than Shade, and nodded to the five people in a rather immature manner:
"Hello, I'm Ashley Simpson from the academy's secretariat. According to regulations, when a professor at the academy communicates with a correspondence ring sorcerer in a non-teaching situation, a secretary from the secretariat must record the conversation and keep it on file."
She introduced herself.
"Ms. Simpson is also a third-year student at the college, doing an on-campus internship at the secretariat for academic credits."
Professor Sanchez introduced, and then got to the point:
"Schneider, have you heard about Miss Mana Felena's incident?"
"Yes, professor, the news has spread in the local black market, but the news is confusing and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false."
Dr. Schneider, the team leader, replied.
"What's the news?"
the professor asked, and Father Augustus handed the notebook to the doctor, who coughed;
"What is certain is that a high-level sorceress who calls herself Mana Felena used large-scale magic to expel the relics in the forgotten area in the south of the city yesterday afternoon. Uncertain sources say that the woman with the same name as the founder of the academy is Miss Felena, the witch of the Fifth Epoch. In addition, there are rumors that Miss Felena's appearance is related to the meteor shower that lasted for more than an hour last night; she attacked the Orthodox Church last night, causing the sacrifice of at least 12 sorceresses of the Orthodox Church; the magic she used caused all sorceresses in the area to turn into women; her appearance was because someone found a golden cup and summoned the souls of the past to fight..."
"Alright, alright."
Before Dr. Schneider could say something even more outrageous, Professor Sanchez stopped him:
"The Ringwitches in your area have really rich imaginations. Regarding what happened yesterday afternoon, the academy will give you a self-destructing document later, and you can check it yourself. This time the academy will review all the correspondence Ringwitch groups in the Tobesk area to make sure that this matter has nothing to do with you."
"It's absolutely okay!"
Father Augustus said immediately.
"In that case, please tell us your itinerary from yesterday noon to 8 pm. The academy will check it later, so please don't lie."
Professor Sanchez said, and then motioned to Miss Simpson to take notes carefully:
"As compensation, after the inquiry, each correspondence ring sorcerer who participated in the inquiry will receive 5 practical credits as a reward for helping the academy investigate."
The huge reward of five points also shows St. Byrons' determination to investigate the incident of Miss Feliana.
"I was at Dawn Church yesterday afternoon. At least a few hundred people saw me. In the evening, I went out with Bishop Owen, Father Hoover, and Sister Matilda from our diocese to visit the children in two orphanages in the north of the city. I returned to the church at about seven o'clock and have not been out since then."
Father Augustus said.
"Yesterday afternoon was supposed to be a study session for the group, but because some sensitive materials I ordered from other places arrived, I went to the local black market in the afternoon to pick up the goods. I didn't go out until I returned at 6pm."
Since the doctor dared to say this, he must have been prepared to cover up.
"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the University District's Tobesk Third Mechanical College to attend a lecture by a professor from the Kingdom of Kasenrick. The lecture was about popular literature. After the lecture, I went home to have dinner with my parents and returned to my rented apartment at seven in the evening."
"Dorothy" said, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess is very clear about "her" itinerary.
"I was in the Dark Realm yesterday afternoon."
Luvia said, pausing to look at Professor Sanchez, who motioned for her to continue.
"Yesterday morning, I accepted a mission from the association and went to the town to deliver a document to President Stan. I did not leave the town afterwards. This morning, when the scope of the relic expanded, I moved with my companions, but unfortunately I passed out. Later, the relic was controlled by the church, and I woke up. At that time, the president was fighting the ring warlock of the Truth Society. I left alone to seek help from the team of the Orthodox Church, but I mistakenly entered the space fracture zone. When I woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. The servants of Duke Carina Cavendish found me and thought I was a pedestrian who got lost near the manor."
"Remember to write a report and hand it in."
Professor Sanchez said, but did not comment on Luvia's experience, and he would probably check with the Prophet Association afterwards.
"So Mr. Hamilton, what were you doing yesterday afternoon?"
He looked at Xia De again, and Xia De told Miss Jialina what he had already discussed:
"Yesterday... um..."
He touched his nose embarrassedly:
"Ms. Carina Cavendish, called at my house alone at ten o'clock in the morning. Yes, alone, without any servants."
The secretary in charge of taking notes glanced at Shad, and "Dorothy" also looked at Shad.
"Later... um..."
Xia De hesitated to speak, he thought his acting skills were OK:
"She stayed at my place afterwards, and we were... um... reading in the study."
Professor Weiya Miral of the School of Astronomy coughed, telling Miss Simpson, who was blushing and looking at Shade in surprise, not to forget to take notes because of her surprise.
"We took a carriage out of town around 9:30 in the evening and headed for her estate. We were stopped by the church in the south of town."
When Shad brought Tifa and Miss Carina together, the three of them did enter the city first and then leave the city. He did not lie about this.
"I didn't go out all day, and I don't know what happened yesterday afternoon. I met Luvia at the Duke's manor at around ten o'clock in the evening, and then I learned about so many things that happened yesterday... After that, I have been in the manor outside the city."
Xia De noticed that Miss Simpson, a third-year student at the academy, was looking down to take notes, but seemed to be secretly observing him.
"Oh, what happened yesterday was horrible."
He didn't forget to sigh at the end.
"Have you always kept the twenty-sided dice of the fate of the Keeper-level relic given to you by the History Department?"
Professor Sanchez waited until Shade finished speaking before asking, his eyes quite sharp.
"Yes."
Xia De nodded. Even without the dice, he was not afraid of being exposed. Although divination was magical, it was not as clear as a photo. The results were often confusing and obscure. As long as he was not lying completely and had prepared some means in advance, he did not need to be afraid of divination.
Only the past detected by time-related abilities is almost 100% accurate.
"OK."
Professor Sanchez nodded, then looked at Professor Miral of the School of Astronomy:
"Professor Miral will perform a divination for you. The content of the divination is whether you have been contaminated by the power of the devil. What happened last night has a lot to do with the devil. The school is worried that you have been contaminated by evil things without knowing it. This is very likely to cause loss of control."
Professor Miral's shadow pulled a stack of cards from her pocket. There were a total of 108 cards, nine in a row, floating evenly in the air in front of her with their backs facing up:
"Please each choose one. It doesn't matter as long as it's not the Devil, the divination card."
She said with a serious look, and then motioned for Dr. Schneider to choose first.
The doctor had not been discovered by the academy for many years, so he was not panicked this time:
"Left one one."
The card is turned over, and the image on the card represents "Lucky Man". No matter what you are fortune-telling about, if you can draw this card, it will definitely mean good things.
The blue-eyed doctor smiled:
“I just know that I have been very lucky.”
Shade had a strange expression on his face, Dorothy looked at the ground, Luvia had a tense face, and Father Augustus suddenly coughed. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said embarrassedly:
"Then I'll choose Right Nine One. Today is the first day of September."
When the card was turned over, there was a tombstone pattern on it, which represented "death", which was not a good sign.
The priest smiled self-deprecatingly and made no comment.
"I'll take the one in the middle... the one next to Professor Miral."
The blonde girl said, looking at the fortune-telling cards expectantly. She had a normal schedule yesterday and was not worried about the fortune-telling at all. However, it was not easy to come across a fortune-telling conducted by a professor of the academy.
When the shadow of the card was turned over, a red butterfly appeared on the card. The red butterfly had a complicated meaning in mysticism, but even Shade, who had the worst basic knowledge, knew that it definitely had nothing to do with the devil.
"Then I'll choose the one in the middle that's on the outside. I often do divination for others, but few people do it for me."
Luvia said.
"Because it is more difficult to tell fortunes for someone who already has the ability to tell fortunes than for other people."
Professor Miral explained that when the card was turned over, it was a broken ring. This was not the holy emblem of the broken ring of Mr. Liming, the righteous god. This represented "broken destiny."
Shade almost immediately looked at Luvia's expression, but her expression was normal:
“I didn’t expect I would turn over this card.”
She muttered quietly.
"Then it's my turn. I'll choose the one in front of the professor."
After Xia De finished speaking, he asked in his heart:
"Do you think I'll get 'The Moon'?"
I guess not.
