She is worthy of being the richest woman in the Brentanian Empire.
"Because you master the black magic, His Majesty does not want your knowledge to fall into the hands of the other party. Don't think too much. If an accident happens, you must evacuate first and we will cover you..." Tria continued.
"Evacuate? Why evacuate?" Licinius asked back.
Tria was stunned.
"In the entire city of Roma, am I not the only hidden chess piece of the Empress? As for you, aren't you all our five-star good citizens and enthusiastic good classmates? Where are the hidden chess pieces?" Li Xini asked.
Tria was confused.
Norn also looked up, his face full of confusion.
Licinius took advantage of the silly girl's inattention and put the ring inlaid with black diamonds into her hand, then said with a righteous look: "As a staunch revolutionary, how can you be cowardly in the face of difficulties and dangers? Your Majesty let us go, which is out of sympathy for the subordinates, but as subordinates, don't we feel ashamed?"
He paused and said seriously: "We can escape for a while, but we can't escape forever. This country still needs us to save it. How can we retreat because of a small setback?"
"If we retreat once, there will be a second time. How can we save this precarious country in the long run? Isn't this cowardice and a betrayal to His Majesty?"
Tria was completely stunned. She looked at the heartbroken boy in front of her and felt ashamed for the first time...
Yes, shame on you.
This is what true integrity is!
"In short, I will not abandon my companions and evacuate on my own!" Li Cini said firmly.
What a joke!
After waiting so long for such a good opportunity, you want him to leave
If the enemy is really that powerful and can kill him, then he will make a great profit.
If I can't kill him, then I'm sorry, I will have to be killed by him.
Because he doesn't know any black magic, and he only has a magic book that kills anyone who looks at it. Based on his understanding of this world, even a seventh-level top warlock cannot withstand the curse of the gods in the book.
Originally, he was still worried about how to increase his popularity in the Brentanian Empire.
Now, isn’t the empress the best choice!
"Whether I'm killed by Joachim and Cyrus, or I'm on the rise with the help of the empress and then find an opportunity to take the blame, or I commit suicide by performing a sacrificial ritual with the evil god, or I'm identified as a vicious heretic by the church and sentenced to death, this is the best opportunity I've had since I traveled through time..."
Face the wind!
Chapter 18 Take me away quickly!
Royal National College of Knights.
"My lords, have you made a mistake? Yesterday's criminal has been arrested. The teachers and students in our college are all good citizens who abide by the law!" Principal Bane said with great sorrow.
Early this morning, the military and the Administration Bureau sent people to seal off the academy, allowing only entry but no exit. From the principal to all teachers and students, everyone had to be questioned, even interrogated!
They were all good citizens and had never seen such a scene before. Some of them were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot.
"Yes, hasn't the prisoner been arrested? Shouldn't we interrogate him?"
The vice-president and a group of professors and teachers also had innocence and confusion on their faces; no one wanted to suffer this unexpected disaster.
A female officer stood in front of the fountain and smiled. "Prisoners? Unfortunately, when we went to interrogate those prisoners this morning, we found that they were already dead."
died!
In an instant, the square fell into deathly silence and people's faces turned pale.
I have to say that the people in the military are very good at doing things. They will analyze criminal incidents and the composition of teachers and students in the college, screen out some people with higher relevance, and concentrate them in the square.
As for the others, they were locked in a classroom and interrogated by other military leaders.
"We invited Mr. Klein from the Moonlit Kiss Adventure Group to determine the cause of death of those prisoners. However, the conclusion we reached was shocking. They died from black magic!" The female officer's voice gradually turned cold.
The blond priest sighed, "I'm sorry to tell you, but that's it."
Everyone gasped again.
Moonlit Kiss, that is a legendary team of adventurers, all members are fifth-level super powers.
Although this was not the time to chase stars, many female students were infatuated with them, their eyes burning. Some boys were even trembling with excitement, and began to fantasize about joining this legendary team.
Except for Cecil, his mentality was directly blown through.
He vaguely remembered that last night he was going to confess his love to his favorite goddess, and then he drank a few bottles of wine to give himself courage. As a result, he slept until early morning and had a nightmare, and he is still in shock.
In the dream, Tria was actually a demon, a succubus.
That’s ridiculous…
I was originally thinking of confessing my feelings in public at the academy, but then this incident happened.
"Of course, you don't have to be afraid. As long as you have nothing to do with the dark arts, we won't do anything to you. The Bureau will not let any bad guy go, nor will it wrongly accuse any good guy."
The female officer turned around and looked at the woman under the tree: "Miss Lucimia, what do you think?"
It was a girl with golden twin ponytails, wrapped in a long white windbreaker, with her hands in her pockets, blowing bubble gum out of boredom, and casually said, "That may not be the case. What I pursue is solving the case and efficiency. I would rather kill the wrong person than let the guilty go. My intuition tells me that this matter is not simple."
The female officer raised her eyebrows: "Oh? In that case, everyone here is a suspect."
The old principal and others were shocked: "How come we are all suspects!"
Lucimia came over and snorted, "When dealing with cases involving black magic, I always use violent interrogation as the only method, and I always get a result. Do you think I'm a wild private detective? If we delay the investigation for one more minute, the heretic will have one more minute to do evil."
She walked out of the shadows, revealing herself to be a very beautiful girl with ice-blue pupils and a delicate face.
It's just that his expression is a little cold, his eyes are too sharp, and he looks a little paranoid.
Klein watched from the side and asked in a low voice, "I originally wanted to learn how to solve a case. Is this the world-class detective you mentioned? Why is it different from what I expected?"
The female officer smiled slightly. "As long as the ending is good, does the process matter? She is the daughter of the Barron family, that's enough. Moreover, because of something that happened in her childhood, she particularly hates black magic."
Klein suddenly realized.
Lucimia glanced at everyone and revealed a thoughtful expression: "As far as I know, the leader of that group of thugs is a third-level psychic sorcerer who uses black magic and is very difficult to deal with. And according to the information we just collected, they were dealt with by Cecil, Hearn, Laura, and Annie?"
Cecil's face turned green.
His friends looked at each other in confusion, but they all knew what was going on.
This matter is very complicated.
Because Cecil was unwilling to accept the fact, after what happened yesterday, he boasted to his classmates that the reason they were able to successfully subdue the gang of thugs was because the four of them worked together to use high-level magic, although it came at a great cost, resulting in everyone being exhausted and knocked to the ground by one blow.
But at the same time, they also inflicted heavy damage on the enemy leader.
The naive classmates expressed their belief.
Compared to that dandy noble young master, the words of the student union president are definitely more credible.
So when they were interrogated today, this is what the naive people answered.
"No, the thing is, it was Li..." Cecil wanted to explain.
Lucimia interrupted directly, "No need to explain. I won't believe anything you say now. When you get to the military, you will tell everything under the hypnosis magic."
Cecil looked extremely pale.
Even the old principal trembled for a moment.
broken!
Cecil knew very well what he had done yesterday. After witnessing the power of black magic, he even begged his adoptive father if he could use his connections to get the magic book from that gang of thugs.
If this were to be discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Don't worry, the military is not some Asura hell. As long as you are innocent enough and have nothing to do with black magic, you can walk out of it intact."
Lucimia ordered, "Take them away."
The military immediately surrounded them and took out handcuffs, leg shackles, and anti-magic equipment.
Some young and kind female teachers still wanted to make excuses and try to prove that their students were good people.
But they were captured and handcuffed together.
At this moment, a loud roar was heard in the square!
“Stop it!”
Everyone was stunned to see a carriage stopped in the square.
Licinius swaggered down from the carriage.
Tria followed behind him holding a book, looking very low-key.
They both actually came to school in the same carriage!
This thought popped into Cecil's mind the first time, and he immediately ate a lemon.
He has also imagined a lot of plots about the Minotaur.
The students looked at him with a hint of sympathy.
"How come there are still two fish that slipped through the net? Oh, that's how it is. According to the information provided by the Third Guard, this young nobleman is a complete waste, and he is accompanied by a fourth-level attendant. Well, fourth-level attendants are not easy to mess with. Could it be the girl next to him?" Lucimia checked the list compiled by her subordinates.
"Valerius Licinius? What does he want? To be a hero?"
Lucimia crossed her arms over her chest, thinking that a young nobleman who was exiled to the border would probably wet his pants out of fear after seeing such a scene.
But today's incident has nothing to do with this piece of trash.
I'll just scare him a little later and send him away.
But the next second, she was stunned.
"Who is the Lord of the Control Bureau?"
Licinius approached the crowd with a smile on his face, then stretched out his hands in a surrendering manner and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Take me away for questioning!"
Chapter 19 What kind of temperament do they have
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The accident came so suddenly that they were a little confused.
Lucimia's face was full of question marks: "Are you okay?"
Li Xini was stunned: "I'm fine. Didn't I hear on the way here that the three prisoners arrested yesterday died inexplicably? Since the military wants to take them away for questioning, I came here. Let go of these innocent classmates, these are my close friends, come to me if you have any problems!"
Luciemia asked again, "What are you doing here?"
Li Xini said in surprise: "Don't you want to investigate me? If you suspect someone in the academy is related to the black magic, it must be me! And I participated in the rescue operation yesterday. All the teachers and students in the school know about it. Didn't the Third Guard report it to you?"
Everyone fell silent.
Luciemia took a deep breath and said, "First, you don't have a talent for magic, right? Your resume is clean. We have investigated you. After you arrived in Roma City, the people you came into contact with were all clean and not worth suspecting.
Second, you are from the Valerius family, your father and your sister are both well-known figures in the capital, compared to this group of commoners, what is your motive?"
"You haven't even entered the forbidden land. Although your attendant is a rare genius, she is like you, and usually stays at home. She is not particularly suspicious."
She paused and said, "Third, you have the nerve to say that you participated in the rescue operation?"
Li Xini was stunned. Before last night, his resume was indeed very clean. Apart from trying to commit suicide, he usually made a little money from his luxury goods business.
And he himself does not have any magical talent, except for being immortal.
In addition, given Valerius's family background, it is normal that the Administrative Bureau does not want to control him.
"please wait a while."
He asked in confusion: "Why am I too embarrassed to say that I participated in the rescue operation?"
Lucimia looked at the four civilians and said, "Weren't these four the main force in yesterday's rescue? They worked together to use high-level magic to make the enemy leader extremely weak, which gave your servants the opportunity to take advantage. Otherwise, even if you were the only hostage, you might not have been able to escape unscathed."
"What the hell..."
Li Xini was stunned, and looked at the group of four with a cannibalistic look, what a pariah!
Cecil and others lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"The testimonies of all the teachers and students in the school, as well as the report of Major Hayden of the Third Guard, are consistent."
Lucimia said expressionlessly, "As for the hostage exchange, although this incident shows that you are indeed very courageous, everyone says that you only did it to gain favor with the beautiful girl..."
Li Xini staggered back a few steps, how could this be!
Wait, he suddenly understood.
