Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 266. Information that Arrives on the Day of Registration
This was the time that happened before Xenon and the three otherworldly teenagers were applying to the Magic School Academy.
At that moment Mark and his troops had just arrived at the academy building. The five of them directly entered the building and walked over to meet with the other Magic Council.
In the middle of the wide corridor passageway, Mark stopped.
“You're back in the dorm. Today, you are given two days off to rest. The rest let me take care of”, said Mark
“But, Mark-sama..”.
“You want me to go straight to class at ten?”
“Ka–we understand”
Mark walked back to the Magic Council room. When he opened the door, Lucas, Rexa and several other members sat down and talked about the important meeting.
“Mark!!”
“Mark-sama!”
“Marquis Vermillion, are you back? Why not tell me first?”
Everyone was shocked by Mark's arrival in the room. Lucas and Rexa walked over.
“Mark, welcome. I think you're having a hard time not giving back to” Lucas said
“Not so troublesome, but enough to make me almost run out of patience. The intention is I want to go straight to his residence and drag the perpetrator before the kingdom and the Magic” Council
“What does it mean?”
Mark told me all about his investigation. Inside the room, there were several other council members such as Algeria, Tatiana, Emilia, Alicia and Emily.
Every incident experienced by Mark is told in detail without anything being missed.
Even more surprising, Mark himself took out his captured corpse with the Artifact and showed the results of the information.
As soon as the name of the culprit was mentioned, no one expected to hear it.
“A person...noble who did this?”
“This unexpected”
Among the people who were struck, Rexa who was most shocked heard it.
“What...you are absolutely sure that he is, Mark?”
“Very sure. They themselves called it and from the memory I saw, the traitor was there. This incident in the western region and the eastern region was done on the basis of his command”
“I can't figure out the motive yet, but according to the memory of this corpse, they will send an intruder to this place during the exam. Perhaps, the person who will infiltrate it will register today”
Emily looked towards the dragon race lady nearby.
“Algeria, Emily believes you are the head of the entrance exam this time at Lucas's suggestion, right?”
“Bar”
“Is it possible that you could find the intruder?”
“I'm not sure but maybe I can detect it”
“Then–”
“Emily, it's not necessary” Lucas cut Emily's words and continued, “ Let the intruder get into this place”
“Lucas!” Emilia and Alicia looked so anxious
Lucas is starting to look serious, “If indeed they want to target out Duke Xelhanien and Artifact who are in this place, let us give them bait. We still have to know their destination”
“Even if he attacks the Midford residence to find out all his crimes, he will not admit it without clearer evidence” continued Lucas
“But the evidence Mark provided was enough” Alicia tried to convince Lucas
Mark replied with a serious face, “Still not enough to drag him”
“What?”
“I told you guys, right? Someone else is helping him. That person covered his entire body with a robe and it was more than one person. If it is done alone, maybe Midford will do a lot of mistakes”
“But I couldn't detect trigger magic when the two beastmen who attacked us that night used [Dark Sacrifice]”
“Normally, the magic was done by the person concerned. But, the magic in both beastmen was active without being activated by its own user”
“Do you guys think Midford can do it alone? We all know the magic power of a family close to the kingdom and Midford doesn't have that kind of magic. Funny thing is, this beastman attacked me without telling me that I was an Artifact” user
Mark's explanation makes a conclusion. Emilia guessed.
“He did it to attack Mark-sama while sacrificing that beastman”
“Fast. By summoning the shadow ghouls, they thought they could kill me. As soon as the plan failed and I managed to catch a living witness, they eliminated him”
“Then I was confronted by another beastman who seemed to be sent without knowing that his partner was dead. Looks like this beastman's corpse is just a sacrifice to his own plan”
Rexa still couldn't believe that it had all been so close to her all this time. He tried to ask and convince Mark of something.
“Do you think only Earl or other families are involved?”
Everyone looked towards Rexa. Everyone knows why he asked that. Mark was silent and looked towards Lucas. Lucas shook his head and let Mark answer.
“I'm not sure. Those in this place may not know anything. But for those in the kingdom, it is likely yes. The royal family should be informed of this”
“So. Thank you”
Mark reinserted his corpse with magic from his Artifact and began to show red eyes against it.
“As a family with close ties to the Kingdom of Bernkastel-Wiesbaden, the family of Duke Xelhanien, Vermillion and van Houdsen have many ties with Midford who is also close to the kingdom”
“If until this problem has something to do with the issue of overthrowing the kingdom, then there will be division and war between brothers”
“That's what might happen here. In addition, we also cannot turn a blind eye to the coup and other acts from outsiders who have not been identified” Lucas continued Mark's explanation
Everything's silent. Tatiana raised her hand.
“Do we need to close this with the School Board?”
“I think Mark and I will tell them. In addition, Rexa..”.
“……”
“You should also come along for this problem. After all, you still have an attachment to them. Before your decision to cancel everything, you still have a close relationship, so we have to come along to explain it to the School Board”
“I understand Lucas” Rexa looks so tired in an instant
Mark understands that. He who had gone on a long journey without sleep did not look exhausted at all.
“You and your members can take a day off, Mark. If you want a break, your post will be guarded by members of the Defense Division, Jessie and Jene”
“No problem. I'll take a day off for today and tomorrow, I want to find out for myself who infiltrated this place”
Lucas and Mark go out with Rexa. Inside the meeting room, there were only the female members of the Magic Council.
“I did not expect that it would be like this” Tatiana said
“Emilia-sama, what should we do now?” ask Algeria
“Algeria-sama, I think for now we leave it to Lucas and the others. For today's exam registration, I think it would be best if Algeria-sama took a quick look. It was useful because the dragon race had a very fast memory”
Everyone was silent for a moment. They seem to agree to the proposal.
“I agree. I'll also help write the report later if it's done. In addition, Emily-sama's unique magic will also be very helpful” Algeria said
“Emily will accompany you from behind, Algeria. You can trust my abilities”
After that, when Xenon brought the three otherworldly teenagers, there was a commotion that made Algeria come to fly participants who made a fuss.
Behind her, Emily stood up and watched every participant who remained. As Algeria went inside, the dragon girl asked Emily.
“How, Emily-sama? The intruder was among the people I flew or was on the participant list?”
“They are on the list of participants. But, there seems to be a black magic covering up so Emily can't figure it out. It seems that this is the same as Mark had meant earlier”
“Magic that makes other magic cannot detect it ya”
“Then, there is a unique”
“Unik?”
“Three people from another world that Emily told me about. And they came with one of the members of the Magic” Council
“Really?! Who?”
“The person will be arriving here any minute” Emily smiled and looked towards the lobby entrance
As the two watched over the incoming disciples, they saw Xenon enter and saluted the two captains.
“Good morning, Emily-sama. Good morning, Algeria-sama”
Algeria looked towards Emily and Emily smiled.
“This guy”
“Hmm?” Xenon was confused by what the two captains in front of him were talking about
“He's the one who brought three explorers from another dimension”
“Hah?!”
Now, Xenon's intention of wanting to keep his relationship with the three alien world teenagers secret is finally extinct, completely gone.
