Did the villainous professor survive today?

Chapter 91 Commission

"work?"

Olivia didn't hide her doubts. "Does Professor Kroenke still have matters to attend to in the East?"

"Let's make this clear first: whether you end up doing this in the East or not, you have to keep it a secret for me."

Kroenke did not answer the question directly.

"Keep it a secret?"

Olivia seemed to realize that Kroenke was talking about a very serious issue.

Kroenke raised his eyes: "Yes, you must keep this a secret. If you keep it a secret, I can use my family's connections in the Eastern Chamber of Commerce to arrange the best itinerary for you and guarantee that you can eat the best roasted camel hump. No, to be precise, the Ludwig Chamber of Commerce can cover all the expenses of the entire trip."

"I'll keep it a secret in the name of roasting camel hump!" Olivia's eyes lit up instantly. "What does the professor want me to do?"

You have increased Olivia's favorability towards you.

[Points +1000!]

[Current points: 12900!]

For Olivia, swearing an oath with food was already extremely toxic.

Kroenke looked at the solemn-looking Olivia, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "If you go to the East, I need you to help me investigate a demon."

"demon?"

Olivia was stunned.

"That's right, his name is Tiamat."

Krenk directly stated the name. Although he knew very little about it, Krenk knew that Tiamat, this demon, came from the East.

"If you go to the East, I hope you can investigate this demon and what happened to him. Oh, right, you don't even need to investigate specifically. Hearsay is fine, as long as the information is related. The most important thing is not to let anyone know that you are deliberately investigating this matter."

For Krenk, there aren't many cards he can play in order to investigate the deeds of the Holy Kingdom's Crown Prince.

After much thought, Olivia, who seemed carefree and only thought about eating all day, turned out to be the best choice.

"Okay, leave it to me."

Olivia patted her heavy chest; Krenk had given her food, and she was determined to repay his kindness.

Don't agree so quickly.

Kroenke shook his head.

Meng Xiang emphasized that investigating the eldest prince Diablo meant making an enemy of the entire Holy Kingdom. Even though the Holy Kingdom had lost control of the East, there was still a huge danger hidden behind it.

We must first consult with Olivia's guardian spirit: "Call Griffin out."

"Professor, did you call me?"

The next second, Griffin, covered in snow-white feathers, appeared half-crouched behind Olivia. Kroenke's office was only two and a half meters high, so it had to lie down to avoid bumping its head.

"Yes, I have something to ask you."

"Professor, please speak, I'm listening."

"This matter must be kept completely confidential; no outsider should know about it."

Krenk's expression was serious as he cautioned, "If outsiders find out that you are deliberately investigating Tiamat, you may encounter unexpected dangers."

"Professor, is this demon dangerous?" Griffin vaguely sensed something was wrong.

"I don't know if the demon is dangerous or not, but the people he's involved with and the things behind them are very dangerous. I can't reveal the specific reasons, but the only thing I can say is that if it's leaked, the resulting danger will be something none of us can handle."

Kroenke thought for a moment and added, "You can choose not to accept this commission, and I won't mind at all, because I don't force others to do things that I can't do myself. Also, even if you refuse my request, our agreement will still stand, and the Ludwig Chamber of Commerce will still cover your expenses in full."

"It's okay, I'll do it!"

Olivia readily agreed, her face beaming with a "I'd die for a friend" attitude.

"Let the professor finish speaking."

Griffin looked at Olivia with a hint of helplessness.

He knew that this was someone who dared to plunge into the deep sea hundreds of meters below without any protective gear, all for the sake of a bite to eat.

They couldn't stop them no matter what.

"Stop, stop."

Kroenke pressed the brake button, stood up, walked to Olivia, took her soft hand in his, and applied slight pressure. At the same time, Kroenke gazed at Olivia with his bewitching eyes: "Olivia, will you listen to me properly?"

"I—" Olivia's cheeks suddenly flushed, "I do—"

Kroenke released his grip and nodded. "Alright, now, putting aside the matter of eating, let's have a serious discussion."

"I can't let it go," Olivia shook her head.

Kroenke: "————"

Griffin, standing behind Olivia, simply stood there, his face radiating despair. "Destruction is none of my business."

Kroenke's lips twitched slightly: "I've emphasized this again and again, this is extremely dangerous, Olivia. I'm giving you two weeks to think this over carefully. Tell me your thoughts after I return from Eton National School of Magic. This is extremely dangerous, I'm not joking."

"All right----"

Olivia looked miserable, thinking that she wouldn't be able to head east for the roasted camel hump she'd been craving for another two weeks.

"Griffin." Krenk looked at the snow-white elf. "I'm giving you a veto. If you don't agree, I won't make any arrangements for Olivia. In the next two weeks, you'd better work on Olivia's mindset."

"Thank you, Professor," Griffin nodded. "However, I need to confirm the details of the commission. You mean that this doesn't require special investigation and only needs to be heard about—"

"Yes, hearsay is fine. I don't need you to investigate in too much detail or too obviously. You can pretend to be a tourist and ask around to learn about local legends. The important thing is not to let others know that you are deliberately investigating."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go, Olivia. We'll talk again in two weeks."

Griffin extended his claws and carried Olivia away from Kroenke's office.

Two days later.

"Mr. Krenk, today's lesson is—"

Isabel sat in her chair, calmly looking at Krenk.

"It's the same as before, but I specifically changed the subject matter."

Kroenke said.

"So, this time it's not—" A slight disappointment flashed through Isabel's mind. She remained silent for a moment, but still didn't say the words "yellow book".

"Yes, the books this time are all detective and suspense novels."

Krenk took out several beautifully packaged novels. "Of course, in addition to these, there are some small trials. I will keep the details a secret. Your Highness will know when the time is right."

Kroenke added.

"Okay, teacher."

Isabel put on the bracelet Kroenke handed her, then casually picked up a novel and quietly began to read.

During this time, Kroenke sat quietly next to Isabel, recording the ringing time of the bracelet.

But to Kroenke's surprise, the bracelet only made a sound once or twice at the beginning and then stopped responding.

Your Highness adapted remarkably quickly—no wonder you were able to successfully master the three-dimensional magic circle—

Kroenke inwardly grumbled.

A few minutes later, as Isabel entered into deep reading, Krenk saw that Isabel turned to a page number that he had marked separately.

coming!

Without hesitation, Kroenke stepped forward and, taking advantage of Isabel's inattention, snatched the book away.

Deng!

The bracelet rang instantly.

Isabel's eyes widened instantly, and she instinctively reached out to take back the book that Krenk had taken away.

Kroenke used his height advantage to hold the book high, preventing Isabel from touching it.

"Teacher? What are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, your bracelet is ringing."

"7

Kroenke was simply stating the facts.

Isabel took a deep breath to calm her turbulent emotions: "Teacher, this is my problem, but could you please give me back the book first?"

"No, Your Highness,"

Kroenke refused without hesitation. "Remember what I said before? This is the little trial I mentioned."
