the last magic noble

Chapter 4 Hidden Murder

Amidst the discussions and complex gazes of the crowd, I ended the welcome party for freshmen, and naturally I was not full.

At the dinner table, Laura kept pulling me to ask questions, like a buzzing bee.After being surprised at the beginning, Wende stopped being startled and talked a lot less. He just quietly listened to the conversation between Laura and me.

"Hummer, did you really fail to see your magical talent when you were young?" Laura asked while holding my hand.

"Really." I mechanically repeated the answer I've said many times.

"Then can you use three lines of magic at the same time?"

"No."

"then you..."

. . .

Just as I was worrying about Laura the bee's indiscriminate bombardment, an accident broke the deadlock.

On the way back to the dormitory, Laura and Wende, I, and I just turned a corner when we saw Ness Strong and Dale Hurley arguing fiercely.Seeing the three of us coming, Nis Strong gave me a vicious look, and left without looking back.

Seeing that the situation was not good, I was about to apply oil on the soles of my feet, but Dale Hurley grabbed me and warned me: "It's better not to wander around the castle at night, or you may die."

After speaking, Dean Dale glanced at Laura, who snorted and left without looking back.After we bowed and said goodbye, we quickly caught up with Laura and returned to the dormitory. The three of us seemed a little tired, and we went back to our rooms after saying good night to each other.

I lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and could only look at the old brick roof.

The next day, when I was still asleep, Laura came to wake me up, I opened the door, and Laura looked at me sleepily, and shouted: "Humer, I have class today, and I'm going to the Weil Court soon." The long class is about to begin!"

I was taken aback. I couldn't be late for class on the first day, so I quickly got dressed and ran to the classroom with Laura.At this time, I sincerely thanked my uncle for the magical skill of dressing in a second that I have practiced all the year round with my uncle in managing the grocery store.

After turning a few corners, we finally arrived at the classroom out of breath. Dean Weir was sitting at the desk in front of the classroom. Wende was winking at us. Laura and I quickly found an empty seat. Down.

Not long after, the remaining few students also came running out of breath.Dean Weir spoke at this time, his voice was still as peaceful and kind as yesterday: "Okay, children, welcome to Holmead College in Merlin College, I am your Dean Will Holme De. You are either hereditary nobles or ordinary people with extraordinary talents, but here, you are all the children of the archmage Merlin and my children, so I hope you can respect and love each other. Well, now Each of you has your course schedule for this semester and the name of your tutor in your drawer. Of course, any teacher, senior or peer in the college is free to ask questions, and I believe they will also give you all Professor."

I opened the drawer and saw that there was already a class schedule with my name written on it.Dean Weier glanced at the whole class, and finally landed on me, pointed at me and said, "Humer, please come to the front."

On the first day of class, I was fortunate to be the first student to be called to the podium, which was a great achievement in the student world.Just thinking of this, Dean Weir said, "Nice Strong, please come out."

Before he finished speaking, Niss Strong walked up to me in high spirits and gave me a contemptuous look.

"Nice was my student before, and now he is the second youngest high-level magician in the history of King's College. Today, he and classmate Hunmo will show you the magician's spell duel."

What?Magician duel?I can't even use magic, and even growing up, in Inverness, I never showed any magical talent.I didn't conjure up a fireplace for my uncle, or turn the Baker's eldest bully son into a goat.Not even the little windmill toy in the yard was blown by magic.

"Dean Vail, I..." I was about to speak when I was interrupted by Niss Strong: "Humer Collinan, right, your Collinan family is a family with superb magical talents, and now you Shocking the world in the baptism of magic. To tell you the truth, you are the opponent I personally named to fight, so it is possible that you dare not?"

This Hummer has black hair, with a sly tone and a contemptuous expression, he is the second eldest son of the Baker family.Before I had time to speak, I saw Nis jumping back, already holding a ball of air in his hand, and just as soon as his foot landed, he threw it at me.

This air mass cannot be easily seen, has high concealment, and is fast. It can be transformed at will without leaving any traces, so it should be a good means for surprise attacks and assassinations.Although I don't know magic, but I often struggle in small towns in the countryside, and my physical fitness and agility are much better than these pampered nobles and young ladies.

With quick eyesight and quick hands, I rolled and hid to the side on the spot, and then, before I could stand still, the second air ball had arrived in front of my eyes.

I couldn't dodge in time, and I was hit hard on the face. Although I couldn't see it, but from the tension of Laura in the audience, I already guessed that I must have a bruised nose and a swollen face, and I was in a mess.

Nice didn't intend to let me go. While I was still covering my face with my head down, the third air mass had arrived. At this moment, I had no choice but to grab something like an ink bottle at hand and put it The contents of the bottle were thrown at him.He was careless for a while, and was thrown all over his face by these things. He suddenly clutched his stomach in pain, and then vomited on the floor with a wow.

Niss was furious, endured the severe pain in his stomach, and yelled: "You insidious villain like a vulture, see how I will spare you." After finishing speaking, a second ball of air was squeezed out in his hand.

I looked at the air ball in his hand, and through the outline of the dust in the air, I found that the air ball turned out to be an air knife.Unexpectedly, Niss was so angry that he forgot the rules of the magic duel and wanted to kill me directly.

Air knife, the same air knife that killed my uncle.Was Nice one of those guys?
At this moment, Niss had already thrown the air knife at me, and my uncle's chest torn apart out of thin air and big drops of bright red blood appeared before my eyes.At that moment, just like this moment, so similar.It must be him, otherwise he could not have been so contemptuous of me, and so eager to kill me.

"Be careful!" Laura yelled.

In desperation, I waved my hands forward, and an air wall blocked the front. The air knife hit the air wall with a muffled bang, and I rushed in front of Nisi again. Nix didn't expect that I could use the wind shield Blocked his air knife, now being pressed heavily on the ground by my wind shield, unable to breathe.

"Say, did you kill my uncle? Why did you kill him and me too?" I stared at him fiercely.

Nis was breathless under the pressure of the wind shield, and said intermittently: "What about your uncle, how do I know your uncle?"

"You're talking nonsense! Who else but you is the only one who knows how to use an air knife and doesn't like me!" Veins popped out of my forehead, and I felt that the windshield in my hand was getting thicker and thicker. After a while, Nisi's face was livid and foaming at the mouth.

At some point, Dean Weier suddenly came to my side, and a blue air flow in his hand blew through my wind shield, and the wind shield disappeared immediately, and Nisi also choked up and came back.

Before the two of us clashed again, Dean Weier stopped in the middle and said: "The three principles of magic duels are fairness, competition, and safety. Of course, the purpose of today is not to enable you to truly skillfully use magic to duel, but It is to let you know these three principles. Today, Niss Strong’s performance is too aggressive, and he even forgot the safety rules, using highly threatening spells on freshmen. Of course, you are a high-level magician of King’s College, Today's situation, your dean Dell will deal with it, now you go back first."

Due to his own fault and the prestige of Dean Weir, Nissstrong bowed and turned to leave.I was still standing there panting heavily, my arms were so sore and my mind felt a twinge of pain.

After Dean Weir announced that other people were self-studying, he helped me to a small room at the back of the classroom. After I entered the room, I sat slumped on a chair, feeling as if my whole body had been drained of energy, and I was unconscious.

At this time, Dean Weier chanted, and yesterday's blue patch appeared in his hand, that group of magical energy, and then put the magical energy on my arm.I felt the powerlessness in my whole body gradually disappear, and I no longer trembled, but I was still extremely sore.

I looked at Dean Weir gratefully, just as I was about to thank him, Dean Weir sat across from me and said, "Henmo, I know you have a lot of questions, but this is the first time you have used a magical power that is so great for you today , and your ability to manipulate magic power is almost zero, so you will feel this kind of powerless feeling now. Now I will give you a proper supplement with pure magic energy, which will make you feel better. But I want to ask you another thing thing."

Hearing this, I raised my head, and for the first time, I looked closely at this old man who took good care of me, which made me feel as kind as a grandfather.

I nodded, and Dean Weier asked, "Why do you say Nice killed your uncle?"

Hearing this, tears slowly filled my eyes, and I said with red eyes: "Grandpa Will." As soon as the words came out, I realized that something was wrong.But Dean Weier said with a smile: "It's okay, you can call me Grandpa Weier in private."

"Dean Wei, my uncle was pierced through the chest by a masked man with an air knife, and then he was torn out alive, and died in front of me, just like the one used by Nice!" I gritted my teeth and said.

Hearing this, Dean Weir fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said: "When the school started yesterday, I had already communicated with Dale. He said that it was the evil mage and his subordinates who attacked you. What we know about the evil mage so far is There are very few. But Nice is not the only one who can use wind magic. Our Holmead family has always had many masters who manipulate wind and air, and your classmate Wen De Seth is also extremely talented. So you can't rely on just one elemental magic Just guessing for no reason. Do you think I'm right?"

I lowered my head. What Dean Weir said was right. With only one elemental magic, how could it be concluded that Ness Strong did it?Moreover, he is still a member of the academy, so he has no reason to expose himself.I was so impulsive.
