Above the mage!

Chapter 205 Prison
"What do you mean, Vice Chairman?" After being held down, Gao De raised his head and looked at the Vice Chairman.

"In the afternoon, the magic circle in the rune workshop exploded." The vice chairman stared into Goder's eyes and spoke word by word.

"That's really unfortunate," Goder analyzed seriously, "But the magic circle of the rune workshop was drawn by the instructor himself, and it has been running stably for so many years without any accidents. Why did it explode now?"

"Did you interfere with the magic circle, causing an error in the magic circle and triggering the explosion?"

"Gao De, the crime of destroying the college's assets is very serious. The college can easily send you to jail for this." said the vice chairman.

Gao De moved his body with some difficulty and said softly, "You mean that the explosion of the magic circle is related to me, right?"

"Is it irrelevant?"

"I just bought the spell formula of [Language Comprehendence] in the library yesterday. The spell potion requires maid clams, but the potion shop is currently out of stock, so I applied to the Potions Department today to go into the water to collect maid clams myself." Gao De discussed seriously with the vice chairman.

"When the magic circle exploded, I happened to be collecting maid clams at the foot of the Coolie Cliff. I didn't leave until almost five o'clock. The staff there can prove it for me."

"How could I, who was collecting clams in the water, be related to the explosion of the magic circle in the rune workshop?" he said.

The waters below Coolie Cliff are quite far away from Gavin's Building where the Rune Workshop is located.

He was just a newly promoted 1st-ring mage. How could he have the ability to make a magic circle explode at such a long distance?

Gao De’s rhetorical question is well-reasoned.

But upon hearing this, the vice chairman simply glanced at Gao De and suddenly said indifferently: "Whether this matter has anything to do with you is actually not important."

"The academy doesn't need evidence to convict you of a crime," he paused, and then said, "In other words, we can create evidence even if there is no evidence."

"You have been promoted to a 1st level mage at such a young age, and you are highly regarded by He Xi. This shows that you have a certain talent in the field of runes."

"Your future is bright, so I advise you, for the sake of your own future, if you don't want to be sent to prison, I advise you to cooperate with our investigation." The vice chairman emphasized the word "investigation".

Then, he waved his hand and said, "Take the person back and detain him for further investigation."

The explosion of the magic circle was indeed caused by Gaode.

To be more precise, it was Godard who commissioned Flora to do it.

If it doesn't belong to you, you shouldn't steal it.

If you insist on taking them and I can't protect them, I will destroy them.

Don't want anyone.

Rather Stick to your guns.

This is an ancient virtue, which Gao De possesses.

The Rune Workshop is the legacy that He Xi left to Gaode.

The suicide note written in black and white clearly defined the ownership of the property, word by word.

You should have the right to dispose of your own things as you please.

So Gaode activated the "back door" left by He Xi.

Be confident.

But I don't feel at ease.

Of all the assets in the Rune Workshop, the most valuable are not the fixed assets, but the pieces of information and notes.

When he thought of this, Gao De's heart was filled with deep sadness.

For more than two hundred years, He Xiku stayed in the field of talisman literature, ignoring what was happening outside the window, and eventually his life turned into a few words and these notes full of wisdom before he left.

But now, all of that is gone.

No, it won't die.

Gao De heard those few words.

Gao De kept that knowledge in mind.

The six basic rules of runes, the complete six basic rules of runes, will eventually shine with the brilliance they are supposed to have.

The name Hosea O'Kenley will finally get the status it deserves.

In fact, Gaode himself is not a person who particularly values ​​fame.

However, He Xi needs this false reputation.

During his three hundred years of life, He Xi devoted everything to the study of runes. When he was finally dying, he was the only one around him who truly cared about He Xi.

Now, apart from the false reputation behind him, He Xi can no longer enjoy anything.

We have to save something for this respectable old man, right? With Flora's help and the name of the maid clam collector, Gao De successfully created an alibi.

Logically speaking, this matter should have nothing to do with him.

But this is the current situation.

Gao De looked at the indifferent vice chairman in silence, and suddenly realized that there is no such thing as reason in the world.

Or it should be said that truth only exists when the strength is equal.

Ceres Mage Tower.

Gao De had been in the academy for more than a year, and this was his first time entering the core building of Seres Academy.

But unfortunately, he was not invited, but was escorted into the Mage Tower.

Gao De was very silent along the way.

He was thinking about a question.

If it has been determined that the explosion of the magic circle was related to him, as the vice chairman said, the academy does not need evidence to convict him.

Then what’s the point of asking him to “cooperate with the investigation”?

Unless, the investigation is about something else other than the explosion of the magic circle in the Rune Workshop.

Does this mean that the Rune Workshop and the information in it are actually not important to the will of the academy’s top management?

What they really value is something else?
The previous speculation about the rune construction resurfaced in my mind.

This time Gao De was almost certain, rather than just guessing.

The Mage Tower is a comprehensive building that integrates multiple functions, including living, research laboratory, library, treasure house, defense fortress and so on.

There are even dungeons that hold prisoners or special creatures.

And God was sent to a dark dungeon in the Ceres Mage Tower.

I sat quietly in the dungeon for about half an hour.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching from afar, and then the sound of a lock being opened with a clang.

A middle-aged wizard, under the guidance of his "old acquaintance", the vice-chairman, had already entered the dungeon where Gaode was.

"Are you He Xi's student?" The man came in and said straight to the point: "Let me introduce myself, Quincy Uther, a second-level rune constructor."

"Let me ask you a question. Where did He Xi put his rune construct?"

"If you answer it, I'll let you go."

"If you can't answer, you'll spend the rest of your life in jail."

As expected, Gao De showed a surprised expression, "What rune structure?"

Quincy Usher did not answer Goder's question.

He stared at Gao De's face, as if trying to find some flaws.

After looking at it for a long time, he finally spoke again, "He Xi bought a lot of raw materials for rune construction this year, it must be for making rune construction."

"But I didn't find any rune constructs in his rune workshop."

"He Xi left everything to you before he died, and the rune construct should be no exception."

"You must know where he keeps the rune construct."

Quincy Usher said with certainty.

"Tell me that you are still the genius wizard of the academy."

"If you don't tell me, you will be the criminal who deliberately destroyed the college facilities. You will be sentenced to at least three years in prison."

"Think carefully about what is more important."

Compared with torture, in Quincy Usher's opinion, attacking the mind is always the most advanced interrogation method.

"That rune workshop is mine. Not to mention that this matter has nothing to do with me, even if I did it, it cannot be considered as destroying the academy facilities." Gao De lowered his head and said silently.

"It's already this kind of situation, this kind of time, so don't be so naive anymore." Quincy Usher was stunned for a moment, then he laughed sarcastically.

Gao De let Quincy laugh at him for a while before he slowly said, "I really don't know what rune construction is. The teacher didn't tell me about this before he left."

This is the truth.
