I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 199 Tracking Melko

In order to eliminate possible risks, the fifth-class instructors in charge of managing this branch must do their best to investigate, find out the real culprit, and find out the reason for the opponent's attack.

"Pétain, as far as I know, unlike the apprentices who died outside the school, none of the apprentices who were attacked at the Masonic headquarters seems to have died, right?"

The gray beard and hair, and the combination of facial features give people an extremely severe feeling. The "messenger" Rudolph, who has the ability to connect with the real Nine Ring White Tower on the mainland, frowned and said bluntly.

Audlina, who looked like a middle-aged graceful woman, was in charge of maintaining the operation of the academy's tower wizard array. When she heard Rudolph's speech, her eyes flickered, and she said:

"Although the murderer who attacked the Masonic headquarters in the college seriously injured nearly a hundred Masonic apprentices present, he did not kill any of them. Combined with the college's regulations prohibiting apprentices from fighting each other, I judge that there is a high probability that this person is from our college. apprentice."

Regarding Audrina's guess, Rudolph nodded.

"Although most of the dead apprentices came from the Freemasonry, there are still a few from the Illuminati. According to the information I just obtained from the surviving Illuminati apprentices, the cause of this incident is that Melkor ordered those Freemason apprentices to ambush Besieging Illuminati apprentices..."

Hearing Rudolph's inquisition, Petain frowned, and interrupted Rudolph's speech directly:

"The cause is not important! I got the news from the apprentices in the Masonic headquarters who were attacked in the college, and the apprentices of the Illuminati who had experienced this incident. The person who committed these two incidents was a man wrapped in armor. , the real identity is unknown, but the guy who claims to be the branch president of the Illuminati, so..."

"I propose to question Yihua! Since he is the vice president of the Illuminati, he must know the true identity of the branch president of the Illuminati who killed many Freemason apprentices!"

Petain's proposal stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and caused quite a stir among the several fifth-class mentors present.

Seeing that Simon's complexion was not good, the white wizard robe was covered with yellow-brown oil stains, and the old wizard Cannon, who was bound with a large number of strange-looking mechanical devices, opened the mouth to ease the atmosphere:

"Pétain, the apprentices lost in this incident are not only Masonic apprentices, but also Illuminati apprentices. According to your statement that the murderer is the head of the Illuminati branch, combined with the fact that the other party did not kill a single person in the academy, This incident is likely to be a conflict between different apprentice organizations in the academy, there is no need to go to war."

The moment Ganon finished speaking, he was one of the best among the seven in strength. As the mentor of Yihua and Rey, it was rumored that he had a close relationship with an official wizard in the main tower of the Nine Ring White Tower—the Pale Tower. Dead Crow" Simon's glasses flickered, his lips moved slightly, and he said unhurriedly:
"Pétain, at the moment when the apprenticeship exam is approaching, your disciple Melkor gathered dozens of Masonic apprentices, what is the purpose of killing the Illuminati apprentices outside the school? At the same time, why did you appear in Fangorn Forest with Melkor? ? Can you explain this matter?"

Hearing Simon's words, Petain paused for breath, and retorted with a cold snort:

"There's no explanation for this. It's just a fight among the little guys. As for my going to Fangorn Forest, it's just to deal with some private matters and has nothing to do with you."

After hearing the argument between Simon and Pétain, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

After a long while, her complexion was pale, and her scarlet lips exposed two pointed canine teeth. She looked young and coquettish like a vampire, and the fifth-class necromancer "Dark Demon" Selina, who had gray and black long hair, said in a tone of impatience. :

"It's just that a group of apprentices died, and the more than 30 second-class apprentices among them are still worth a bit, but even without them, it is more than enough to complete the minimum target of [-] second-class apprentices this time."

Simon nodded in agreement with Selena's statement.

"In three days' time, the apprenticeship exam will start. There are only dozens of low-level apprentices, and they will die as soon as they die. Although the remaining Masonic apprentices were seriously injured, none of them died. As long as they are treated in time, they will not die." It will have an impact on taking the apprenticeship examination in the future."

After Simon finished speaking, most of the fifth-class mentors present raised their hands in agreement. Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Petain's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped ink.

Audrina who was not far away didn't seem to see Petain's expression, she covered her mouth and coughed lightly.

"That's right, the most important thing for us now is to deal with the life-and-death crisis that the academy is currently facing! Rudolph, haven't you contacted the general academy yet?"

As Audrina changed the subject, the death of dozens of apprentices was brought up lightly.

Hearing the inquiry, Rudolph, who had gray beard and hair and a somewhat stern face, stroked his long gray beard, sighed and said:

"Sorry everyone, the surrounding sea area seems to be blocked by those guys. I have tried many times, but even with my best fifth-class communication witchcraft, I still haven't received it from the General Institute. reply."

Hearing Rudolph's answer, the six present fell silent.

After a while, Selina, who was a fifth-class necromancer who looked like a vampire girl, frowned and complained:

"Speaking of which, now that the apprenticeship exam is approaching, where is His Excellency Larov, the dean of our Nine Ring White Tower Branch? He hasn't shown up for three full months!"

Facing Selena's doubts, several fifth-class mentors present were silent, only Petain's eyes flickered slightly, and a scarlet light flashed in his pupils.

I don't know whether he caught a glimpse of Petain's strangeness or had an additional source of information. Rudolph, who is the most well-informed in the academy, coughed, fixed his eyes on Petain's face, and suddenly said:

"Pétain, it seems that you went to Fangorn Forest with Lord Larov three months ago? Then you should know the whereabouts of Lord Larov?"

Hearing Rudolph's sudden words, the other four fifth-class apprentices all focused their attention on Petain, as if they were waiting for Petain to give a reasonable explanation.

Seeing that the rest of the people were all focused on him, Pei Ting's heart tightened, and then he said calmly and casually:
"This matter is indeed true, but at that time His Excellency Larov claimed that he would retreat in Fangorn Forest for a period of time, and then he left voluntarily. I don't know his current whereabouts."

Regarding Pétain's remarks, the fifth-class tutors present did not seem to fully believe it, and Rudolph cast a heavy glance on Pétain's face.

After realizing that with Petain's attitude, it was difficult to ask for more information, because several people hadn't prepared to break up with Petain and forcibly question each other by force, the conference room fell into silence again.

Tens of seconds later, Simon spoke first, breaking the calm in the conference room.

"I still have experiments to do. Since we can't discuss the results, let's adjourn the meeting temporarily."

"I agree."

"I have no opinion."

Everyone present had no objection to Simon's proposal.

In an instant, among the six fifth-class instructors who were originally in the conference room, only Petain was left.

Seeing the others leave, Petain, who was originally gloomy, suddenly relaxed, with a weird smile on his face.

"It's almost time, there are still three days before the date agreed by the lord..."
-
Although the meeting started because of the attack on the Freemasons, it has long since been put aside after talking about it.

With the major crisis facing the college at this moment, no one cared about the lives and deaths of those dozens of first- and second-class apprentices.

This matter was quickly left behind by several fifth-class instructors. Since they could not win the cooperation of the other fifth-class instructors, and there was Simon on the platform, it was impossible for Petain to directly capture Yihua and force him to interrogate him. case.

The investigation into this incident has ended before it even started.

In the following time, the Freemasonry was attacked, and the news of the heavy losses quickly spread throughout the academy.

But without the involvement of the fifth-class tutor, and Yihua's words and deeds being cautious and his answers were airtight, the small-scale investigations assembled by Melkor could not obtain useful information at all.

Soon, under the background that the real culprit could not be found and the prestige of the Freemasonry plummeted, a large number of Freemason apprentices quit the Freemasonry one after another.

And the other apprentices in the college, after learning about the experience of the Freemasons, did not dare to join the Freemasons.

The battle for the defense of Camilla City and the ambush of Illuminati apprentices resulted in the deaths of hundreds of top Masonic apprentices, most of whom were second-class apprentices.

At the same time, the vice presidents Sass, Bloody Hand, and the interim vice presidents Aike and Jess have fallen one after another.

As a result, in just a few days, the Freemasonry, which was originally comparable to or even superior to the Silver Star Society, was on the verge of disbanding due to the frequent blows it suffered in the past month.

Not long after the investigation into the death of a large number of Masonic apprentices outside the school and the attack on the Masonic headquarters came to an end, Gabriel, who was appointed by Yihua to monitor Milko, suddenly came to Yihua.

"Brother Yihua, some brothers in the meeting just found out that Melkor went to the tower again, and it seems to have directly entered the No.13 floor!"

Hearing the information Gabriel had obtained, Yi Hua, who was practicing knight breathing in the courtyard, exhaled a foul breath, sheathed his sword, stopped his movements, and his eyes flickered slightly.

No. 13th floor, that is the floor where Melko's mentor "Bloodmaker" Petain is located.

Realizing that Melkor was going to the tower, Yihua, who was likely to meet Petain again, stared.

"In the previous auction that was extremely critical to Melkor, Melkor asked the bloody hand to participate instead of him, and he went to the tower to meet Petain. Fangorn Forest, not at the Masonic quarters..."

If it happened only once, it could be considered a coincidence.

But when the same thing happens twice, or even three times, it is no longer a coincidence, but an anomaly.

Unless, compared to participating in the auction house to obtain the blood of the Shadow Snake, and ambush and kill those Illuminati apprentices, Melkor has more important things to do, and needs to meet "Bloodmaker" Petain!
After hesitating for a moment, he already had strong doubts about the two of them. After swiping Gabriel back, he decided to quietly follow Melkor and try to find out.
