Chapter 66 Elizabeth and Dust
Bathed in the dusk, the small town of Cabas is peaceful and peaceful. The setting sun reflects the unique blue roofs of the town's buildings in orange, which is very beautiful.
At this time, an archaeological team consisting of twelve people was gathering in the only tavern in the town, discussing things around a table.
"Mr. Wallace, are you sure there is a need for an inspection in this town?
"We walked around here for a day, but found nothing except a few seemingly ancient songs!
"This is just a common, normal town. Even its history only lasts a few hundred years."
A middle-aged man with thinning hair but very good spirits drank a glass of rough ale and complained to the young man sitting at the main seat.
The young man was only twenty-one or twelve years old. His blond hair was neatly combed back. He was handsome. He wore expensive formal clothes and the matching of accessories was also very elegant. You could tell at a glance that he had an unusual identity.
This young man is called Ji Shengke Wallace. He is a graduate of the History Department of Stowan University and is also the initiator and funder of this archaeological operation.
The middle-aged man who complained to him was an associate professor in the history department named Mosal Xiyagui.
"Don't worry, Mr. Mosal... you also understand the songs here. Maybe the secret of this town is hidden in the night." Mr. Wallace responded with a smile, his manners were full of elegance, which made the two ladies on the same team I couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
The two ladies are not very old, one of them is a low-level pastor of the Church of the Night, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her name is Simin. Since the archaeological team will always encounter some strange things, deploying a clergy is a very normal operation and will not surprise anyone.
The other woman is younger, and the baby fat on her face has not completely faded away, but she has delicate and beautiful facial features and long, naturally curly brown hair.
This young lady's name is Elisabeth, who was originally from Tingen and is the child of an import and export businessman and a female lord.
In order to allow her daughter to expand her social circle and meet more talents, Elizabeth's mother did not allow her to enter the local university in Tinggen. Instead, she obtained a Stowe letter through her father, Elizabeth's grandfather, a baronet. Letter of recommendation from the university.
Elizabeth had a strong interest in the extraordinary because of her previous experience, so she chose the Department of History after careful consideration.
Elizabeth's mother had no objection to her daughter's choice. After all, her original intention was not to let her daughter really learn anything.
In this way, Elizabeth boarded at Stone's grandfather's house at the beginning of the year and became a student of Mosal, a professor in the history department.
But this time, she came to "intern" with the teacher.
——In this era, history and archeology are still inseparable, so they belong to the same academy.
Watching Mr. Wallace chatting with the teacher, Elizabeth felt a little strange, because she felt that although this gentleman's tone, accent, and even behavior had not changed much, she just felt that he was much kinder than before...
She looked at the others again, but found no obvious changes.
"Illusion?" Elizabeth felt a little confused.
At this time, a gentleman sitting next to her seemed to notice something strange about her, and couldn't help but asked with concern: "Miss Elizabeth, are you feeling uncomfortable in any way?"
This gentleman wore gold-rimmed glasses and had an outstanding temperament. Elizabeth knew that his name was Dast Guderian and that he was a doctor. Like her, he was from Tingen City. She didn’t know why he joined this archaeological team, and he was with People on both sides seemed aloof and not very familiar with each other.
Yes, in Elizabeth's view, this team of twelve people can actually be divided into three groups.
One faction is the "academic faction" headed by Teacher Mosar, including himself and two seniors, a total of four people;
One faction is the "funder faction" headed by Mr. Wallace, including Ms. Smin and four of Mr. Wallace's entourages, a total of six people;
Finally, there were two gentlemen, Dust Guderian and Stephen Hampres, who joined in halfway. They both seemed to know Wallace, but they didn't seem to be very familiar with him.
Because they were both from Tingen, Elizabeth had talked to Dust before. When she heard his concerned words, she smiled and shook her head and said: "It's nothing... maybe it's because I've never spent the night outside... I just feel that A little uneasy."
Hearing this, Dast hesitated for a while, and finally reminded in a low voice: "I'm afraid something will happen after the sun completely sets... You should pay attention to your own safety. If you are in danger, you can come to me..."
Sir, don't you think what you are saying seems to be implying something? Although I'm sure you don't have any evil intentions. Elizabeth maintained a smile on the outside, but in her heart she became even more uneasy after she cursed.
She subconsciously touched an amulet on her chest, which was made by Melissa's brother during his lifetime, and Melissa gave the amulet to her before leaving Tingen.
Elizabeth, who had seen the magical side of that gentleman, cherished his work very much and always hung the amulet on her chest.
On the other side, as a "mind reader", Dast naturally noticed Elizabeth's movements. He turned on his spiritual vision and took a few glances, then laughed in a low voice: "This amulet has some spiritual power left, but its effect It’s not big anymore, it can only drive away some weak souls.”
Elizabeth didn't believe it at first, but when she saw Dust's assurance, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. Perhaps to cheer herself up, she blurted out: "Klein made this, I think he will protect me in the goddess' kingdom. .”
When the words came out, she realized she had made a mistake and quickly pursed her lips and closed her mouth.
Dast was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked with a somewhat unconscious tone of sadness: "Cline...is it Klein Moretti?"
When asked, Elizabeth's eyes widened in surprise. Although she said nothing, the thoughts revealed in her light blue eyes made Dust easily read: "Do you know Klein?"
"Of course I know... If he hadn't died in the line of duty... Forget it, let's not mention this..." At this point, Dast looked at Elizabeth again and lowered his voice again, "Since you are Klein's friend, then I have to remind you again that the night in this town may be very dangerous, you'd better observe the movements of the villagers at all times and hide with them until dawn."
It sounds like Mr. Dust seems to know the real cause of Klein's death... Elizabeth thought of her friend Melissa who was trying to find clues, and glanced at Mr. Dust thoughtfully, while remembering his reminder.
The two people who were whispering didn't know that when they mentioned "Klein", Mr. Wallace, the "financier" sitting in the main seat, suddenly turned his eyes to them and then immediately withdrew his eyes.
At the same time, a twenty-one or twelve-year-old young man with neatly combed blond hair entered a classroom-like room inexplicably.
Just when he was at a loss, a line of text appeared on the blackboard: "Welcome to 'Alvin Abraham's Answer Maze', here is the first question..."
