Chapter 86: Rumors about cannibals

　　 The duel has been over for quite a while, and the pitted land was filled with mud that was summoned by the site managers, exuding a stench. The people gathered in the auditorium were nowhere to be seen at this time, only the smell of fireworks wafting in the air. But the two young wizards did not get too long a break.
　　The activities held by the Green School today did not end here, the rest is the "honoring ceremony". School leader Marion Green will appear, and Willett and Duncan, who are students, naturally cannot be absent.
　　 After emergency treatment by wizards on standby outside the arena, they had to drag their tired and wounded bodies to the ceremony site. The time is short, and even the time to sit in a chair to catch a breath is expensive and stressful.
Relatively speaking, Duncan David’s injury is not serious. He just suffered a brain concussion and neck frustration. This is not a difficult problem for the advanced wizards in the field of life. A potion. After the irrigation, the recovery is almost complete;
　　Wellett is even more miserable. Even after several rounds of treatment and taking a large number of compound healing potions, the girl's body still has not fully recovered. It's okay to say that the arm is pierced by the blazing flame, but the more difficult to recover is actually the sequelae left by the high-load operation magic. This will affect her ability to cast spells for a long time.
　　Villette put on a new coat, her face was pale, and she walked out of the white clinic room vainly, and saw the brunette youth just opening the door.
　　 The two stood on the edge of the door frame and looked at each other. After a while, the silent counterpart gave him a gentle smile.
"Congratulations."
　　 He said so.
　　 Willett quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
　　 The other party is my friend. She knows how unpleasant her character is, and of course she doesn't want to lose her precious friendship because of this duel.
　　 Based on her previous knowledge, Willett doesn't think Duncan David is like the kind of person who lacks measure. He is a courteous gentleman with a gentle and humble personality, so he can get along well with everyone; but the world is unpredictable. The outcome of this battle is equally important to the other party. Losing the blow of becoming the chief student may Will make him lose his demeanor.
　　 Fortunately, she did not disappoint.
　　 "How are your arms?"
　　 The man's gaze fell on Willett's right arm, which was severely injured by his own spell, with guilt and anxiety in his expression.
"……no problem."
　　 The witch subconsciously gathered up her wide sleeves to cover the wound on her arm.
"Let's go together."
　　 Between the two people walking side by side on the promenade, the atmosphere looks quite harmonious.
　　
　　The Green School has a large number of people and has always practiced the tradition in the magic tower-a strict selection and elimination system, so internal competition is very fierce.
　　 But in the eyes of Willett, her teacher Mr. Green is a gentle and humane leader. Including some of the classmates and school members she met, they were not bad guys. She also became friends with Duncan, and they competed out of helplessness.
　　 The witch has mentioned to Mr. Green about reforming the selection system more than once, and the teacher smiled and did not answer every time. Even if the teacher agrees with her proposal, it is still very difficult to actually implement it. After all, this tower was not made by Mr. Green alone.
　　 Outside Mr. Green's door is a huge stone lion crouching. The two walked to the door. When Willett was about to report, he saw Duncan chanting the password proficiently. The lion immediately changed from "sit up" to "sit up" as if it came to life. The man let out a gap in the door. This made Willett look at her companion more involuntarily.
　　 Mr. Green’s room is not wide, but because it is packed with astrology, books and sheepskin scrolls, and the high bookshelves on the left and right sides, it seems quite crowded. The table is full of snuff bottles, ivory, silk and gemstone necklaces, as well as all kinds of invisible herbs. On the side is an empty bird cage. There used to be an owl in it. Now I don’t know where to go. Place.
　　 An old man sits on a recliner next to the table. He is wearing a purple robe embroidered with stars and moons. His beard and hair are silver-white, and his face is full of deep wrinkles. He looks very old and very old, and he can see the traces of the years and frost on his hands and face, and under the half-moon lenses are a pair of eyes that exude wise light.
　　 Seeing two young people walking into the room, the old man took off his glasses and put them aside, with a gentle smile in his voice.
　　 "It seems that the relationship between the two of you has not deteriorated because of this, I can rest assured now."
　　 "Thank you teacher for your concern."
　　 Duncan David salutes him respectfully.
　　 "...Teacher, since you are worried about conflicts among students due to unreasonable competition, it is better to change this selection system as soon as possible?"
　　Wellett could not help but bring up this topic again after saluting according to the rules.
　　 But this time, without waiting for Mr. Green to speak, the young man beside her interrupted her seriously.
"Miss Edward, it's a good thing to be frank, but it's more important to recognize your identity. The tradition of the magic tower is not something we can talk about at will. You are too rash to say that. Hurry up and apologize to the teacher? "
　　 The other side's face is a natural expression of being good for himself. Willett opened her mouth and frowned. Of course she did not agree with the other party, and did not intend to apologize, but after all, he is her friend, this is in front of the teacher...
　　 "Okay, it's not important."
　　 Mr. Green raised his hand and motioned to skip the topic. The old man still had the gentle expression on his face, and he didn't seem to take it seriously.
"Mr. David, Miss Edward, both of you are the best students in my school. No matter who becomes the chief student, don't be disappointed or have concerns. I will treat the resources and education equally. Everyone is the star of tomorrow, and the future of the magic tower belongs to you young people after all. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you will need to cooperate and help each other. Understand?"
　　 Willett naturally cannot object. She nodded seriously, looking straight at the old wizard on the chair.
　　 "Okay, enjoy the banquet tonight."
　　 With a flick of Mr. Green's finger, one file on the desktop became two, and then floated lightly into the air, flying all the way to the two of them.
　　 "But by tomorrow, the short vacation will be over. I have a task that needs to be done by you."
　　...Is it a task?
　　 Willett took the file and lowered his head to read it carefully.
　　 This kind of thing is no stranger to her, or to anyone on the tower. There is a special mission system on the magic tower that is open to the residents. According to the different ranks, everyone needs to complete a fixed mission on a regular basis and submit the results to the senior. Both rewards and punishments have their own evaluation system. "Hunting moment", "monthly tax" and even "duel" are all part of it. It is not only a trial to enhance strength, but also an obligation for residents to keep their status.
The file reports on the conditions that occurred at the bottom of the magic tower during this period, such as the movement of people and the destruction of buildings, etc. In addition, there are also a series of reports on the increase in the probability of sudden diseases, mainly respiratory diseases, but also Have fever, colds, etc.
One of the most eye-catching is an unusual event: some people say that they have witnessed humanoid monsters moving near streets and houses in the middle of the night, and even saw monsters eating people; according to the descriptions of several block supervisors, although they did not find them Similar traces and killing scenes, but the frequency of disappearances is indeed higher than in previous years.
　　 "...A man-eating monster?"
　　Villette thought for a while.
　　 "If it exists, how did it get in?"
　　The magic tower has a complete defense capability from the outside world. In theory, wild beasts or demons cannot avoid the alarm invasion. There have been similar situations in the past, and the result of the investigation is often -
　　 "Could it be possible that someone else sneaked up to the tower with the opportunity of'Hunting Hour'?"
This is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened: some young people want to use wild monsters for anatomy experiments. After all, this is a rare resource on the tower that never goes down to the ground~EbookFREE.me~The experimental materials are often not available to novices. Waste; there are even people who simply think that they are "cute" and bring them to the tower, which leads to chaos.
　　 "What is the reason behind it, you need two people to find the truth."
　　 Mr. Green said with a smile.
"it is good."
　　 The two young people agreed.
　　 Willett relaxes.
　　 She thought that after she became the chief student, her life might change drastically... Now it seems that she has been too worried. Mr. Green's arrangement gave the witch a sense of peace of mind.
　　 As for the so-called "mannibal monster", she didn't take it seriously. She knew very well what kind of environment was at the bottom of the magic tower, and those who were there were basically new apprentices. Even if the monster does exist, it hasn't caused a big mess yet, and only dared to go out to eat people at night, which shows that its danger is not high.
　　 Ordinary demons are nothing to worry about for her and Duncan. The two killed an unknown number in the "Hunting Hour".
　　……
　　 After going back, let’s celebrate with Miller.
　　While thinking about something worthy of happiness, Willett left Mr. Green's room at a relaxed pace.
That’s why she didn’t notice that Duncan David, who originally walked out of the room with her, did not leave the corridor like herself, but waited for a while beside the stone lion, as if hearing someone’s voice. Pushed open the door again.
　　 This time, the gentle expression was all over the young man's face, and it was replaced by a sneer that appeared in an instant.
　　 "Teacher, you don't have to hide it from me, right?"
　　 Duncan David walked into the room and said to the old man sitting in the chair.
