Albert College

A long time ago, Caesar gave up reasoning with Ebner.Anyway, whether it makes sense or not, in the end you still have to listen to him.

So when he walked on a certain path (barely called a road) in a remote forest in the school the next day, Caesar was not surprised at all.

"Great place for a picnic, isn't it? Fresh air and lots of life."

"I only see a bunch of dead branches and leaves." Caesar retorted coolly.

"You should be a little enthusiastic about life." Ebner suggested without sincerity, and brushed aside a withered vine hanging in front of his eyes: "I thought you were a person with a basic curiosity about everything, which is more interesting." people."

"What I have is curiosity, not stupid curiosity. I have no interest in things I don't need to know. Do you know how many idiots die because of curiosity that shouldn't be there?" Caesar quickly countered.

"But to be honest, I'm curious as to why you're going to turn around all the empty corners of the school one by one." He continued to ask.

"If you're smart enough, why not think about it yourself." Ebner said with a absent-minded smile.

"Of course, playing tricks is your specialty." Caesar squinted at him, determined to be self-reliant.He thought for a while, then asked hesitantly, "Are you here to find a loophole in the barrier?"

"That's right." Ebner nodded appreciatively: "One ghost can be an accident, and one more will make people suspicious. That thing is too powerful, and few people can control it. It ran in by itself. Someone sneaked in There was a little damage to the enchantment of the academy, and I have to find the hole in time."

"You don't need to do this kind of thing." Caesar questioned.

"Anyway, I'm very idle, and I don't trust some people." Ebner lied very smoothly, and quickly diverted Caesar's attention: "The person who broke the barrier is someone from the school. He did a very good job That's right, the goal was achieved without destroying the overall structure of the enchantment, so it must be someone who has a good understanding of the formation of the academy's enchantment."

"The last thing you said in the library was to lure the man behind the scenes to ambush you, hoping that he would show his fox tail." Caesar said in a declarative sentence, paused, and asked, "You already have a clue now? "

Ebner smiled noncommittally.

Caesar suddenly asked gloomyly: "You suspected me at first? Because I like to study, I probably know the structure of the barrier, and I also have a ghost in my hand."

"Sometimes you are really too sensitive." Ebner admitted this without guilt: "Do you need me to apologize to you sincerely?"

"No need." Caesar looked disgusted.

"I don't know if it's my illusion." Ebner pretended to be hurt and said, "You seem to hate me. But now you are definitely the only person I trust here."

"Do you need me to thank you gratefully?" Caesar asked calmly.

"No need." Ebner quickly vetoed, and then said: "But if you don't mind, you can give me a warm and affectionate kiss to express your gratitude."

······

Caesar wanted to throw anything at this guy's face. Anyway, he has such a thick skin, so he probably won't be hurt by it.

But in the end he managed to bear it, and found sadly that he might be getting used to it.

Nishizawa took a deep breath, and finally decided to end the childish behavior of quarreling that lowered his IQ, and went directly to the next topic.

"You think just the two of us can find that loophole?"

The academy enchantment is not something in physical form that is covered outside, so the location of the breach can also be in any corner of the academy.

"The perception ability of elves is usually very good." Ebner turned his head regretfully, and then replied casually: "I think you have already experienced it."

"Of course, I was impressed by the unpleasant meeting."

"It also impressed me deeply." Ebner said so, suddenly remembered something, and then turned around and asked, "Speaking of which, Caesar, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Caesar froze for a moment, but it didn't take long—he had evidently built up enough anger over the past few weeks—to spit out a flurry of words without biting his tongue miraculously: "I guess there are a lot of words Suitable for you, such as a tyrant with a terrible personality, a womanizer, a savage with a sick mind, a pervert with a twisted mind, a failure of home education..."

"...You are really direct." Ebner cut him off rather depressed, and then whispered to himself: "Why do you feel that the evaluation is much lower than the last time?"

"What?" Caesar didn't hear the last sentence clearly, so he asked casually.

But Ebner stopped in his tracks, and didn't intend to answer him. His attention was focused on a black hole a few steps away.The opening of the hole is a regular circle, opening on a boulder, obviously man-made, with a diameter of about two or three meters, but it is dark and gloomy under the sun, absorbing all the light projected on it, looking coldly like a devil Evil pupils here.

"...found it, in this kind of place?"

Ebner blocked the sunlight with one hand, raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at the black hole carefully, and said to himself, apparently also a little surprised.

"Really, then can I go back and read?" Caesar stopped, glanced at the thing unmoved, and asked coldly.He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all.He was supposed to be writing that Potions paper.

Ebner choked for a moment, and turned to look at him depressedly.Caesar looked back confidently: "Things are going well, and no one is ambushing. The next thing is to repair the work. Anyway, I can't help much, can I?"

"Although it looks like this," Ebner reminded, "don't you think it's a little strange?"

Caesar looked at him suspiciously, and found that the other party didn't look like he was joking.

So he also raised his head to look at the gloomy round hole, fell silent, and then suddenly raised his heart.

That's right, it's really strange, this breach is too easy to find, you know, they only walked around this forest for less than 10 minutes.Even such a remote forest is patrolled by rangers from time to time. If it had really been here all along, it would have been discovered long ago.

The most likely explanation is that this breach is specially set up for Ebner, this is indeed a trap!

"It seems that you have figured it out?" Ebner turned his gaze back to the boulder standing on the side, took out a magic scroll from his cuff, and said with pursed lips, "The more important thing is that the breath I felt before did not come from here. A clumsy little trap, or something else, let's see."

"Wait a minute." Caesar stopped him: "If you are using a magic scroll, please let me do it."

Ebner raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "I didn't know you had such a spirit of sacrifice."

"On the contrary, I don't want to sacrifice at all." Caesar rolled his eyes: "If it is really a trap, it is the most reasonable for me to try. If something happens to me, then you may have a way to save me, but if you I didn't have a good solution, so I had to finish it together. The choice is obvious, isn't it?"

"Analyze calmly. But you seem to have forgotten another option. In fact, you can take the opportunity to leave now. This is only my business. You were forcibly pulled here by me, don't you remember?" Ebner patiently After listening to Caesar's words, he asked with a half-smile.

"..." As soon as the words fell, Caesar's expression turned extremely bad in an instant.

Moments later, Caesar sank into futile self-loathing.

He didn't think of this at all just now, but wanted to be a backstop for that bastard? !It's crazy, or he should take a good rest recently, so that he doesn't really have "parchment in his head" as others say...  

Ebner happily made up the knife at the side: "If you are too shy to go into the hole, there is a ready-made one over there."

Then the next second, both of them froze at the same time.

Because the "ready-made" black hole has disappeared without a trace.
