Chapter 1510
Xia De didn't think he had any problems, so after saying a few words to Priest Ao Gu Si, who was walking out of the room, he entered the small study inside the reception room.
The doctor had rearranged the furniture here in advance. He had the two professors sit on one side of the table, while those being questioned sat on the other. As for the secretary responsible for recording the conversation, there was a separate small table.
Although they had been working continuously for two hours, the professors did not look very tired. After entering the room, Xia De did not speak immediately, but instead had the servants who followed him in bring a new teapot and pour black tea for everyone before sitting down in the chair.
The professors' side of the table was covered in document papers; although they were very close, Xia De could not see any text on them. His side of the table had nothing but teacups, so Xia De clasped his hands together and placed them on the table:
"Good afternoon, Professor An Dao Er, Professor Ke Si Pa Ya."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Han Mi Er Dun."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Han Mi Er Dun. Also, I am an Associate Professor."
The conversation began with these pleasantries. It was only then that Xia De realized he had actually brought Little Xiao Miya in with him instead of leaving her for Lu Lu Weiya or Duo Luo Qian to look after. But fortunately, the professors had seen many correspondence sorcerers with strange habits. Compared to others, carrying a cat around could even be called an extremely elegant habit.
"Mr. Han Mi Er Dun, the Academy's background investigation into you is proceeding very smoothly."
Professor An Dao Er pointed to the papers on the table that looked blank to Xia De; presumably, they had cast a spell so that only the professors could see the content:
"Your enrollment time was last summer. According to regulations, a background investigation was already conducted at that time. Repeating this work half a year later—whether through divination, field visits, or using relics to confirm—your background is quite normal."
He nodded to Associate Professor Ke Si Pa Ya beside him, who picked up the white paper on the table and began to read the past experiences of the body the outlander was currently inhabiting.
The content he spoke was exactly the same as what Xia De had heard last summer, and what Miss Hai Lun and Miss Ge Lei Si had investigated.
The hometown of this body was a small town in the south of De La Rui Ang. When the body was 16 years old, the hometown suffered a great famine, so the body fled with the family, and all the family members died on the road while fleeing.
As a mentally challenged vagrant, this body drifted all the way to To Bei Si Ke City and was chosen by Si Pai Luo Han Mi Er Dun in the spring of 1853. Subsequently, in the summer, he became a sorcerer, and his consciousness awakened from blindness and stupidity.
Although Xia De had heard this content more than once, he still listened to it seriously again. When Associate Professor Ke Si Pa Ya finished reading the content and asked Xia De to confirm it, Xia De spoke:
"Memories from before midsummer 1853 only remain in my head as a very small part, most of which are just instincts like eating, dressing, and bathing. So, I don't know if these are true. Speaking of which, I once thought about exploring my past and looking for possible relatives, but according to the divination help from Lu Lu Weiya An Na Te in our group, all my relatives are dead, and the southern hometown from the past has completely disappeared from the map."
He looked at the two professors in front of him:
"May I ask, is this really all there is to my background investigation?"
The professors looked at each other. Professor An Dao Er, who was older and clearly highly respected, put down the document paper he was holding:
"Mr. Xia De Han Mi Er Dun, you are a sorcerer favored by Professor Dan Ni Si Te. Theoretically, even if there were problems with your background, the Academy could treat it as if there were none. As for your identity investigation, well, there are indeed suspicious points, but they are only suspicious."
"May I ask what they are?"
Xia De was actually quite expectant.
"Whatever method the Academy used to learn the content, it was indirect. That is to say, we haven't found anyone who saw you with their own eyes before Si Pai Luo Han Mi Er Dun took you in last spring."
The old professor spoke very slowly:
"But other than that, all information about your origin is self-consistent, and any statement can corroborate the others. So, if your origin really has a problem, then the whole world is lying."
As he spoke, he picked up a new piece of paper:
"Your background before enrollment is completely fine, and then there is your interpersonal relationship in the half year after enrollment. According to the investigation, the most sensitive person you have been in contact with was Sir Lei Jin Si Pu Li Xia from the Kingdom of Ka Sen Li Ke last winter."
"Yes, later when I went to receive the Fei Lian An Na Medal, I saw him in the Academy. Poor guy, he is completely crazy now."
Xia De said, and the professor nodded:
"Your interpersonal relationships are relatively simple and limited to To Bei Si Ke and the surrounding areas, right?"
Xia De thought for a moment and shook his head slightly:
"No, I know an outsider. Miss Xiao Miya San Gao De, the true owner of the cat in my arms, and also my client. We maintain communication with one letter per month. She is probably an ordinary person, because one letter left To Bei Si Ke and became the last member of an ancient fallen family."
He showed the cute cat and then briefly described his relationship with Miss Gao De.
The two professors nodded:
"We will investigate that Miss Gao De, but according to your description, it should be fine. The simple things are finished, now let's talk about the key points."
Three metal charms were taken out and placed on the table. The room, which had originally only been muted, now completely blocked any possibility of eavesdropping from time and space:
"Mr. Han Mi Er Dun, when you first enrolled, the Student Management Office entrusted you with the responsibility of temporarily supervising other members of the group. In the second half of 1853 and the first three months of 1854, we did not receive any reports of abnormal situations from you. So now, do you have anything to report?"
Xia De had long since figured out how to deal with this question, so after putting Xiao Miya on his lap, he said:
"Regarding Bill Shi Nai De, the Academy's previous evaluation was that there were dangerous things in his heart. But during the half year of getting along, I did not find any abnormal situations with him. Speaking of which, when I first became a sorcerer, I knew very little, and it was Doctor Shi Nai De who patiently taught me various precautions."
"Then there is Priest La Te Ao Gu Si. The Academy said he was the sole survivor of a high-risk relic runaway incident when he was young. Because both this old gentleman and I believe in the True God—Mr. Dawn—I usually have more contact with him. The only problem with this old gentleman is that as a member of the clergy, he is very good at necromancy spells."
The two professors nodded.
Xia De continued:
"In addition, regarding Miss Lu Lu Weiya An Na Te, whose prophecies are too accurate, and Miss Duo Luo Qian Lu Lu Lu Yisha, who is suspected of having a connection with the Za La Si Wen Academy. I was not familiar with them when I first enrolled, so in order to better confirm their situation and also to protect myself and the Academy's interests, I developed a relatively intimate relationship with them. Simply put... a romantic relationship."
Both professors and the gentleman from the Student Management Office admired his ability to say such things with a straight face. And the reason Xia De wanted to say it was because he didn't intend to hide these relationships:
"Miss Lu Lu Weiya An Na Te has made divinations for me many times, and those divinations are indeed very accurate. She can even know when I privately went to see Lu Lu Lu Yisha behind her back... This might not be divination, but a woman's unique intuition. But I think the accuracy of the divination should just be her unique talent and the particularity of her core spiritual runes. She can simply be called a natural diviner. Although I have only been enrolled for half a year, I have seen a lot in a big city like To Bei Si Ke."
Xia De made a thoughtful look:
"As for Miss Duo Luo Qian Lu Lu Lu Yisha, she is a writer, so her interpersonal relationships are relatively simple. After getting to know me, I have seen almost every friend she is familiar with. However, I can be sure that I have not found her relationship with Za La Si Wen Academy for the time being. She is the kind of person who likes to sit in her apartment or my study and write for a whole day without wanting to go out, which is why her skin is so white... Cough, cough, oh, there is one more thing, I introduced her to Princess Lei Qianya Ka Wen Di Shi at a city banquet..."
He looked at the two professors. The professors, who were clenching their faces to prevent themselves from showing strange expressions because they heard Xia De's words, nodded:
"Students of Za La Si Wen Academy, we know this, you don't need to explain."
Xia De said this, actually to pave the way for the news that would appear in the newspaper tomorrow morning about him taking an oath in the name of the princess. At the same time, it was also to allow Duo Luo Qian and Lei Qianya to communicate normally, so he needed to explain the reason why the two girls knew each other.
"This is anything I know so far. Wait a moment, let me think again... Oh, all members of our group often go to the Black Raven Library in the city to buy materials. That is a black market in the city that sells sorcerer knowledge. I only learned a while ago that it is related to the sorcerer organization 'A Pu Na Library'. Of course, I am just guessing, there is no solid evidence."
The professors asked for more details about the "Black Raven Library", and the secretary at the small table recorded the information Xia De revealed and his slightly complicated private life.
"Mr. Han Mi Er Dun, are you very familiar with Duchess Jia Lin Na Ka Wen Di Shi?"
Professor An Dao Er asked again. Xia De hesitated for a moment before nodding:
"Yes, quite familiar."
"We have no intention of exploring your privacy, but we hope you can answer a simple question. Oh, speaking of which, it's really embarrassing."
The old professor smiled awkwardly, cursing the guy who gave this task again in his heart, while Associate Professor Ke Si Pa Ya beside him was very glad that he didn't have to ask.
"Have you had... intimate contact with Duchess Jia Lin Na Ka Wen Di Shi?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized in his heart. It seems that after the Battle of the Randall Valley, the Academy realized that the 【Witch Council】 knew too much in the search for the Chosen One, so they were checking the possible identities of the Great Witches. And Miss Jia Lin Na, who was rumored not to like contact with men and rarely appeared in public, naturally became one of the suspects.
