Chapter 1662: Bruce Wei En and the Philosopher's Stone (Part 13)

"God, where did you get that?" Barry looked at the grenade in Harley's hand and widened his eyes.

"Don't worry about that, but I'm sure this thing is much easier to use than a wand." Harley raised an eyebrow playfully, tossed the grenade known as the "Soviet Little Lemon" up and down in her hand, which made Barry and Little Bruce terrified.

"You don't intend to use this thing to deal with the tree demon, do you?" Little Bruce hesitated and asked. Barry also stared at Harley and said: "You can't do this, this might destroy the teaching building!"

"Not at all." Harley shook her head, very confidently said: "The buildings here are elves in the Maya world, and the materials used for construction are different from those in ordinary human society. The strength is very high!"

"But using a grenade to bomb the school is too absurd."

"Don't tell me you've never thought about it."

Barry didn't dare to speak, even if obedient children occasionally have times when they are tired of school, who hasn't thought about bombing the school when they were young?

"Stop talking nonsense, we have to hurry to the cafeteria, grab dinner before everyone else, and then go to the library to check information."

Without saying anything more, the three rushed to the cafeteria. The daily meals of the Academy of Magic don't have as many patterns as the grand ceremony, but bread, roasted meat, and stewed vegetables are all available. The full plates were placed on the dining table. The three who arrived at the dining table first chose the hot meals to their heart's content, and then finished eating at the fastest speed.

But they encountered an unexpected person on the way to the library, and that was the dean of Wei En House, Bruce Wei En.

"Are you going to the library? Be careful when passing through the main castle. I heard that students have been injured before."

When being stared at by Bruce Wei En's blue eyes, Barry felt a bit uncomfortable, but the concern for students and the faint worry in it could not be faked.

Barry had to nod and reply: "Don't worry, Professor, we won't go to the fourth floor."

"Of course, I believe you are all good children who abide by school rules, but I also don't quite understand why Principal Jim put such an important Philosopher's Stone in the school. This is not a good thing for the safety of students."

"You don't know why Master of the Dark Night Jim put the Philosopher's Stone in the school?" Harley immediately stepped forward and asked.

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I haven't known Master of the Dark Night Jim for long. If you talk about it, only Professor Constantine and Professor Rodriguez are old friends of the Master of the Dark Night in this school."

Little Bruce and Barry looked at each other. Barry politely bid farewell to Bruce Wei En, and they continued to walk towards the library. Little Bruce pushed and reasoned while walking.

"Wei En looks very young, so it is possible that he is not of the same generation as Constantine, Rodriguez, and the Master of the Dark Night, so he may not have participated in the design of this trial."

"He looks very friendly." Barry shrugged and said: "I still like the bat doll he gave me."

"He stole the hearts of almost all the girls in the academy." Harley yawned and said: "The night he brought the bat doll, Spencer pulled me to gossip about his love history for half the night."

The three talked and entered the library. This is a circular spire located at the end of the main castle, with a total of seven floors, each filled with dense bookshelves.

The three began to look for information about Master of the Dark Night Jim separately, but it was actually easy to find. Jim is a quite famous figure in the magical world, and his Forgotten Bar is the distribution center for news in the entire magical world. Almost all the great mages in this group who have the ability to write books will mention him one or two sentences in their works.

Not long after, the desktop in front of the three piled up into a small mountain. Bruce was almost flipping through books at the speed of quantum reading, and Harley was not far behind. Barry knew that he didn't have such reading ability, so he helped them in the side, recording some useful knowledge.

It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Little Bruce raised his head from the mountain of books. His eyes looked a bit empty, obviously recalling the information he had just read, and then summarized.

"The reputation of Master of the Dark Night Jim is quite good. Almost all mages believe that he is a quite fair but very tolerant person. The Forgotten Bar he opened gave mages a platform for mutual communication, but unfortunately this bar was destroyed in the previous war in the magical world."

Harley continued his words and said: "Principal Jim is leaving the school now precisely to rebuild the Forgotten Bar. He wants to unite the remaining living forces in the magical world and demand the rewards they deserve from angels and demons."

"The information shows that he once saved the magical world Maya and had a very powerful weapon. When vampires were rampant in London, his team saved quite a few people. Master Andrew's manuscript records it like this." Barry looked at his record book and read.

"Then he should have no problem." Little Bruce thought for a while and said: "If there is really any conspiracy behind the trial of the Philosopher's Stone, he might be the one who was deceived."

"Remember what Dean Wei En said?" Barry grabbed Little Bruce's arm and said: "Master of the Dark Night Jim and Professor Rodriguez and Professor Constantine are old friends. Could it be that the three of them organized this trial?"

"Who else could it be besides them?" Harley put the last book in her hand on the high pile of books and said: "I heard that Professor Strange is also an outsider, Dean Zatara, Dean Wei En, and Professor Pamela are all very young, Lady Shangtu is not human, and at most bring another Master Andrew."

Little Bruce touched his chin and said: "Perhaps some of them are sincerely wanting to arrange a trial, let students understand that they cannot blindly follow authority, and must take the initiative to stand up and defend human interests."

"Not everyone thinks so. Perhaps some people want Jim to put the Philosopher's Stone in the school, with impure motives."

Little Bruce pointed at the paper with his fingertips and speculated: "Master of the Dark Night Jim put the Philosopher's Stone in a room in the school, and firmly believed that only some bold students would steal it, so the defense level they set would not be too high, because it is defending against students, not professors."

"But if a professor guides Jim to make this decision early, making him believe that only students will steal the Philosopher's Stone, so as to take the initiative not to set up defenses, then this professor can use this opportunity to steal the Philosopher's Stone. Those means of defending against students can't stop professors."

"Are you talking about Professor Rodriguez?"

"He is very suspicious, isn't he?"

"But what does he want the Philosopher's Stone for? You don't really think he is controlled by angels and demons, do you?" Harley questioned.

"I didn't tell you, before we participated in this matter, I once met him in the corridor of the dean's office. I told him myself that I had seen a certain angel through the runes of divine power."

Barry opened his mouth in shock, but Little Bruce continued: "But he guessed more before this. At first I thought this might be magic like mind reading, but I later thought that he might have deliberately wanted me to think so. The truth is that he learned some things about me from another angle."

"Another angle? What do you mean?"

"If he has a way to communicate with angels, then he can naturally see my connection with angels from the angel's perspective, right?"

"This is a bit too far-fetched." Barry shook his head and said: "I would rather believe it is a mind-reading spell. After all, Professor Rodriguez is also a world-renowned master of psychology. If he knows mind reading, then everything makes sense."

"But we must maintain suspicion, we..."

Just as Little Bruce said this, his action suddenly paused, his body swayed on the chair, and he almost fell down. After that, he covered his forehead and put his elbows on the table to support his body.

"What's wrong with you?" Harley helped him and asked.

"Nothing, I just felt dizzy for a moment." Little Bruce took a deep breath, shook his head with some doubts, but soon he was stunned again.

"I think you are reading too fast just now, and your energy consumption is too high, so you are dizzy. Otherwise, let's go back and rest." Barry jumped off the chair and said.

"No, have you forgotten? We still have a labor tonight, we have to go to Professor Pamela's place to clean up the warehouse."

"God!" Barry covered his forehead and said: "If it weren't for you two constantly causing trouble, why would I do this?"

"Stop complaining, we have to go early, and come back early to sleep, so that we won't be unable to get up tomorrow morning."

Barry was not a person who liked to complain, and Little Bruce didn't say much because he was unwell. After the three returned the books, they went to the greenhouse again under the cover of night.

The big garden at night does not look as lush and green as it does during the day. On the contrary, all kinds of plants under the reflection of the night always remind people of ferocious ghost claws.

Barry, carrying a lantern, rubbed his arms. He just screamed and almost jumped up when he was scratched by a branch on his arm.

"Can you stop making a fuss?" Little Bruce frowned and said with some disgust.

"I'm just a little... forget it, it's okay, let's go quickly."

Barry swallowed, accelerated his pace, and the three walked quickly looking at the lights of the small house in the distance, and soon arrived near the greenhouse.

But just as they wanted to enter the yard of this house, Little Bruce grabbed Harley with sharp eyes and quick hands, hid his body behind the courtyard wall and poked his head out, pointing to the courtyard gate for Barry.

Under the illumination of the lights at the door, the three saw a person in a black robe open the door and walk in. Judging from the body shape, it was definitely not Professor Pamela, but a man.

"Follow him." Little Bruce lowered his voice and said.

The three walked lightly along the courtyard wall to the back door. There was a whole piece of climbing plants here. The three stepped on the thicker knots of the vines and climbed to the top of the wall, and then saw the black-robed man picking plants in the small garden in the yard.

"Remember what was taught in class? Boil spiral grass with deer blood and heteromorphic kale, which has the effect of accelerating the healing of open wounds." Harley lowered her voice and said.

"He is taking the cotyledons of heteromorphic kale." Little Bruce stretched his neck to look inside, watching the black-robed man's movements and said: "He is taking some herbs that can be used to boil healing ointments."

"Is that Professor Rodriguez?" Barry asked with some suspicion, but because the distance was too far and the other party was wrapped tightly in a black robe, the three of them really couldn't tell who the other party was.

"He is about to walk over, hurry hurry hurry, go down quickly."

The three jumped down from the vines, looked at each other, and then Barry said:

"Let's go back first, and check what plants are missing early tomorrow morning. If it is really only raw materials for healing potions, then he must want to use them to treat the wounds on his arm caused by the tree demon." ===== CHAPTER 1663 =====
