Chapter 216 Questions
Gagarin disappeared, and just the day after the assassination, not many people knew about this.
The guards also discovered it in the afternoon. Although the old magician has unparalleled talent in the field of magic tool repair, Goodris, who gathers with great scholars and advanced magicians, is not the top group of people, so his disappearance did not cause much trouble.
The guard found that more than ten people attacked last night had eaten in a small restaurant, and then they found that Gagarin had also eaten in that restaurant, but when they found the old magician's studio and residence, they found that there was already empty houses.
There were obvious signs of Gagarin's residence being searched. In other words, someone had searched here before the Guard. Thomas looked at the furniture that was tilted around him and frowned slightly. Who is this group of people? They move so quickly?
However, there were no signs of fighting in the house. Gagarin was a fourth-level magician after all. Even if he was attacked suddenly, he would not have any resistance. Thomas asked his subordinates, "Has the statistics been made? What is missing in the house?"
"There are two sets of clothes missing here in the residence and one set of tools missing from the studio."
Thomas knew that the old magician had already been heard and ran away in advance, which made him feel a little relieved, but he still couldn't figure out the role Gagarin played in this matter for the time being.
The guard captain's most worried was that the believers of the evil gods found the old magician and forced him to repair some evil magic weapon, so the guard still had to find him before that group of people.
But this matter is not easy. Gagarin has been in Guderis for five years and is very familiar with the city. What he does is dangerous in itself. Many people have secrets in their magic weapons, and some of them do not want to be known by outsiders. In fact, this is not the first time he has disappeared.
Thomas had a headache. He had a certain understanding of Gagarin before. He knew that this old man was not a good person himself. He refused to recognize his relatives when making money. He didn't care whether he was helping a good person or a bad person. Even if the believers of the evil god came to him, he would still be able to do things as long as the other party bids a high price.
Thomas doesn't like such a guy very much. He also heard that Gagarin had blackmailed several employers before, but unfortunately no one reported the case, and the guards had no choice but to do anything to him.
In the past few days, undercurrents in the University Town of Goodris have been surging, and many people have smelled an unusual smell. After the assassination broke out, more guards patrolling the streets also became more and more peaceful on the campus. Siamus was almost completely unaffected. Everyone should attend classes and fall in love. Except for chatting while having dinner and walking, everything is exactly the same as usual.
Rob was silently paying attention to the development of the situation. For the old magician, the best choice now is either to ask for help from the guards or simply escape from Goodris, but there was no movement on Gagarin's side. The old magician was like the evaporated on earth.
Rob sighed, knowing that Gagarin had actually made his choice, and he chose the third way - fix the magic weapon and continue to trade with the Matthews family.
Thirty thousand gold coins are not a small amount. If you do this, Gagarin can retire at least ten years early, but this is also the most dangerous path. The Matthews family has shown their willingness to kill people to silence them. It is not easy for Gagarin to escape unscathed after getting the money. The only advantage for him is his familiarity with Goodris. After all, he has lived here for five years. In contrast, the people of the Matthews family rarely come to the south.
Rob was not in a hurry. Gagarin would definitely not show up before repairing the magic weapon. At least there will be no big progress in this matter in the past half month.
The great magician turned his attention back to Siamus and continued to search for the secret hidden behind the school. He had already read through the information that Lois gave him several times, but he still had no gains.
Rob focused his investigation on interpersonal relationships. There were not many people in the school who had connections with Foreman and Hobson at the same time. Several old professors were eventually excluded by Rob one by one. The great magician paid special attention to those who had passed away. If the guardian of the secret was passed down from generation to generation, then after finding the guardian of the previous generation of secrets, he would naturally know who the guardian of this generation was.
However, after a round, Rob was a little surprised. According to his previous analysis, the rise of Andre's family and Foreman's rapid rise were surprisingly similar in terms of mode, but after really checking, the two of them had no connection and could not find any intersection in interpersonal relationships. The great magician frowned. Why is this happening? Could it be that his direction was wrong from the beginning, and the guardian of the secret was not in the school at all?
Rob's eyes fell on the wooden school emblem on his chest, and the tree on it grew lushly. The great magician's heart moved. He remembered how the Saint Laurent Brothers Magic Academy hid himself in the long river of history. Could it be that this trick was played again?
Who is the most mobile part of a school? The answer is a student. Generally, a student will study and live for four to six years and leave school after completing his studies. If that guy stays in Siamus as a student, everything will be explained. Every time he graduates, he will change his identity and return to school. In other words, he contacted Hobson as a student sixty-eight years ago, and when he contacted Forman thirty-two years ago, he used the identity of another student, so Rob looked through the information of Hobson and Forman but could not find anyone who had contact with them.
No wonder Caesar got the list of teachers and students from the student union before school starts. This guy obviously knows something, but there is a very critical problem here. The great magician can't figure it out. Although the school does not have strict age restrictions on recruiting new students, most of those who come to register for school are young people. Few people over 20 years old, and even fewer people over 30 years old. Although a person can stay in school by constantly changing his identities, it would be a bit too eye-catching if he enters Siamus as a student when he gets older.
Unless the Guardian's responsibilities are not passed on from generation to generation, but are transmitted every ten years or less, Rob does not believe that the old and new guardians will be passed on so frequently.
