I rely on myself

Chapter 306 The Truth about the Tyrannosaurus Attack

Although they already thought that the intruder had left, neither Magnus nor Huo Chui immediately let down their guard and continued to remain alert.

It was not until the smoke around them completely dissipated and the enemy could no longer be seen that they let down their guard a little.

"Owner?"

But even so, Huo Chui still called out to his master for the sake of caution. Although he didn't say it out loud, his intention to ask was clearly revealed.

Magnus also repeatedly explored the surroundings through "Clairvoyance" and "Heavenly Eye" to make sure that the intruder was really gone before he spoke.

"It's okay, the other party has left."

After hearing this, Huo Chui completely let down his guard, but then he spoke to Magnus with a shameful tone as if he recalled his previous behavior.

"I'm sorry, Master. If it weren't for my lack of ability, I wouldn't have let this intruder escape so easily, let alone threaten your life."

Looking at Huo Chui's ashamed face, some meaningless thoughts flashed through Magnus' mind, but he quickly suppressed them and did not show anything unusual.

"Don't worry about it, other things are more important now."

After casually dealing with Huo Chui, Magnus simply jumped over his body, walked to a place on the ground and squatted down. Seeing this, Huo Chui hurriedly followed behind him.

There were two pieces of objects on the ground. They were none other than the knife that Huo Chui had been waving before. After being broken by the Valkyrie's spear, Huo Chui decisively threw it down.

"...Master, is there any problem?"

Huo Chui was a little confused as to why his master was so concerned about the broken knife. Although it was precisely because the knife was broken that he had troubled his master to rescue it, which led to his subsequent defeat.

But as an automaton, Huo Chui would not blame Xiao Dao for the defeat, but would only think that it was due to his own lack of ability.

Unlike Huo Chui who was blaming himself, Magnus picked up the remains of the knife on the ground and examined it carefully, especially the broken end.

Unlike ordinary fracture notches, the fracture of the knife appears somewhat rounded, and at the same time, the originally straight blade has bulging particles, which are obviously formed by direct cooling after high-temperature melting.

Recalling the strange pale blue flame attached to the attacking spear, Magnus already had some answers, but to be on the safe side he still asked his puppet.

"Huo Chui, when you were attacked by the spear, did you feel the high temperature?"

"……Why?"

Because it was so sudden and she was also in a state of shame, Huo Chui didn't react for a moment, but then she immediately realized that it was her master asking her a question and quickly replied.

"Ah, yes, Master, when we were attacked by the spear... I didn't seem to feel any high temperature at that time."

After hearing Huo Chui's answer, Magnus already had a rough idea of ​​the answer in his mind.

Although the knife in Huo Chui's hand was not a famous weapon, he was very confident in its sturdiness. Otherwise, it would not have been tempered in so many previous clashes and collisions, but it only broke when the opponent attacked. This must be because the opponent used some means. The most suspicious thing was undoubtedly the pale blue flame attached to the spear. After all, if it didn't have any effect, the opponent would not have used it specifically. At the same time, because the light emitted by this flame was reflected on the smoke, he would not have noticed the attack so quickly.

Given such shortcomings, if the other party still uses it, then it must have some use or effect.

The final result, of course, is the sudden breakage of the knife, and the effect is also very simple. Judging from the situation of the knife, this flame should have an extremely high temperature, and at the same time it is very restrained, and will not let the high temperature leak out. It can be said that it is a very suitable means of covert combat.

Of course, in addition to the knife, there is another piece of evidence, which is the barrier that Magnus himself deployed through the "Magic Defense".

Magnus did not feel a strong impact from the barrier, but strangely, the barrier seemed very fragile. If he had not continuously injected magic power to repair and maintain it, the barrier would not have been able to last so long.

"...This is all the information we have at this stage. Let's leave here first and leave Huo Taile."

"Yes, Master."

This was all the information that could be gathered from the scene. Now that it had been gathered, Magnus would certainly not stay any longer. He left with his automaton and returned to the ground to report to the dean.

While they were busy in the underground building of the academy, Akabane Raijin and Anri followed the dean back to the ground safely and successfully reunited with their puppet Ye Ye.

"In the past, there was a plan to use the natural cave as a magic experiment site, but because the space inside is too wide and dangerous, it is now blocked off."

The dean explained this, and although Lei Zhen thought it was probably a lie, he could only pretend to accept it.

The matters concerning the underground of the academy came to a temporary end. Although Lei Zhen had a premonition that he might have to deal with them again in the future, that was a matter for the future.

What is more important now is another thing, which is to find the mastermind who threatened Charlotte and forced her to assassinate the dean.

For this reason, Lei Zhen did a very bold thing, which was to kidnap Anri and take him hostage.

Since Charlotte has to be controlled by the mastermind because her sister Anri is threatened, the situation can be resolved by starting with Anri.

If we snatch Anri away first, the other party will have to find a way to take it back for the bargaining chips in their hands, and we can take the opportunity to find the real culprit behind the scenes.

To be honest, this is a very bold but to-the-point plan. The mastermind behind it is indeed as Lei Zhen expected, and has sent people to try to recapture Anri.

Lei Zhen started fighting with him, but something unexpected happened.

The plan went smoothly, but the problem was that Lei Zhen's side was obviously insufficient in combat power. The opponent's puppet dressed as a butler, relying only on its own strength and without any support from the puppet user, suppressed Lei Zhen and Charlotte alone.

If it wasn't a critical moment, and Ye Ye suddenly burst out with some hidden power, the final result would be predictable.

Faced with Ye Ye who erupted with unknown power, the puppet dressed as a butler was obviously unable to resist, and even forced the real culprit behind the scenes to show up. However, even so, the real culprit finally escaped.

Although this was a bit regrettable, it was enough for Lei Zhen and others. After all, this scene was enough to prove Charlotte's innocence, and the one who testified to it was Professor Kimberly who watched it from beginning to end.
