Although Downton last came to St. George's School three years ago, he still easily found the seminary's dormitory building with his excellent memory.
Although the school was out for summer vacation last week, most students did not leave school.
In addition to students attending cram schools, there are also some who have formed an adventure group. They want to take advantage of the holidays to go to the adventure guild to get some tasks. Not only can they sharpen their actual combat skills, but they can also make a small amount of money.
"Sorry to excuse you, can you call Elaine in Room 608 for me?" Downton knocked on the glass of the mail room and explained to the building manager, "I am her brother."
Several girls who happened to be passing by heard this and couldn't help but look at Downton. Elaine was very famous, which led to a lot of attention.
"Wait here!" The aunt called to two girls who happened to be passing by and asked them to call someone.
"Thanks!"
Downton thanked the girls and the aunt, and then waited quietly in front of the door. His expression looked calm, but in fact he was dying of embarrassment. He would rather fight a hundred ogres than be stared at by a group of girls.
"Wow, Elaine's brother is so handsome, no wonder she always talks about him."
"I heard that he is a postman, and he earned all Elaine's tuition fees."
"It's a pity that he's not my type. No matter how good-looking he is, he's not a magic user, and he's just a commoner, his future is destined to be bleak. I don't want to live in the countryside all my life."
When girls gossip, they will have a small mental comparison. The two most outstanding girls among the students are Elaine and Hannah. The former is the princess of the Principality of Porto. They cannot compare, but Elaine is different. She
Just a country girl.
You can look down at Elaine's brother from above. For some girls, there is also a sense of self-satisfaction.
"Elaine went to work and won't be back until very late. You'd better come see her tomorrow." The girl brought back bad news.
"Where is she working?" Downton frowned. The school closes at eight o'clock in the evening. Students who are not students of the school must leave. Otherwise, the guards on duty will force them to leave.
"I don't know." The girl shook her head.
"Are you looking for Elaine?" A young male student ran over and chatted with Downton with a flattering smile, "I know where she is, I will take you there."
"Who are you?"
"Elaine's suitor." Shalawi greeted Downton in a friendly manner. He felt that his acting skills were great, and he perfectly performed the image of flattering his uncle.
"If it doesn't take up your time, I'll excuse you." Downton thanked him.
"You're too polite." Shalawi said a lot, all of which revolved around Elaine. He pulled Downton and walked downstairs to the boys. He showed an embarrassed expression, "Wait for me, I'll get my bag.
"
Before Downton could answer, Shalawi spoke again, "Forget it, let's go up together. I will introduce you to a few friends. If they know that you are Elaine's brother, they will be frightened."
Downton originally wanted to refuse, but Shalawi was too enthusiastic. Like a child who is keen on playing pranks, Downton had to ask for help after all, so he had no choice but to follow.
"Look, the fish is hooked!" Watching Downton enter the dormitory, a girl excitedly pulled Elena's arm.
"I saw it." Elena, the girl with the oval face, was staring at Downton's back and sneered disdainfully, "I thought the person Elaine admired was so powerful, but it turns out he is also a fool."
"Come on, who would have thought that someone who has never met him would punish him!" As the son of an earl, Stefan is also considered a heavyweight in this circle, so he has no scruples about what he says.
"Are you feeling sorry for Elaine?" Elena sneered.
"Huh, just kidding. I'm afraid no one can see that proud girl except her brother. She even refused the second prince's invitation." Stefan spat, "Since you want to punish him, then do it.
If he is older, send him to prison for a period of time."
Thinking of the time when he confessed to Elaine and was rejected, Stefan felt embarrassed, so he walked to the dormitory building, "Don't you want to see how embarrassed he is?"
"Come in and sit, don't wait outside, see more people!"
In front of the dormitory at the end of the corridor on the third floor, Shalawi invited Downton, and there was nothing unusual at all.
"No, the scenery here is quite good." Downton pretended to look at the scenery downstairs and declined Shalawi. He was not familiar with the family and would never enter someone else's dormitory rashly.
Shalawi tried to persuade him many times, and even tried to persuade Downton, but to no avail. He knew that this was a cautious and polite guy, and Elena's plan was afraid that there would be loopholes.
"Whatever, there are no witnesses anyway. Just one mouthful will confirm that he did it. He will drink this sewage." Shalawi no longer insisted. Anyway, it was not to torture Downton to death, as long as he was accused of being a thief.
title, and then embarrass Elaine.
After making up his mind, Shalawi entered the dormitory, left the door ajar, and then made an OK gesture to his friend Mari, then entered the balcony. He glanced at the door to make sure no one was peeping, and then opened the window.
, jumped down.
Downton waited for three minutes and didn't hear any voices inside. He was a little suspicious, but he still had no intention of entering.
"Wait another five minutes. If he doesn't come out, I'll leave." Just as Downton made up his mind, the door of the room where Shalawi entered suddenly opened, and a boy's roar rang out.
"Catch the thief, I lost my wallet."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were numerous sounds of door openings and footsteps in the corridor. The students who were staying in the dormitory rushed out, subconsciously watching, and then all their eyes fell on Downton.
"who are you?"
A senior student questioned Downton. Frankly speaking, anyone would question him if he saw a stranger in the corridor.
"I'm waiting for Vincent!"
Downton sensed something was wrong. He did not mention Elaine's name again, fearing that it would discredit his sister.
"What Vincent? We don't have such a person here!" The students looked unhappy and gathered around. Some even went back to the dormitory to get weapons.
"That's the one who went in just now." Downton guessed that he had been plotted, but he still remained calm. The more uneasy and nervous he became at this time, the less he could explain clearly.
The students looked at Mari who was shouting.
"There's no one, I'm the only one in the dormitory!" Mali looked puzzled and depressed. "I came out from the bathroom and was going to take my purse to eat, but I found that it was lost."
Mali is also a good actor. He didn't say it was Downton who did it, but his eyes were fixed on him, constantly giving everyone a hint that this guy was most likely a thief.
"I haven't entered your room, and I haven't seen any money bags." Downton explained. He took a tentative step. Sure enough, the expressions of these students changed and they blocked the way, obviously afraid that he would escape.
"Who can prove it to you?" Mali asked, "Looking at your dress and accent, you should be a commoner in the Western Region, right? I have more than a hundred gold coins in my purse, which is enough for your family of three.
How about the prosperous life of the past two months!"
"Watch your tone." Downton was annoyed. He was not a fool. How could he not hear Mali's accusations and contempt.
"Why are you talking? A suspect dares to be so arrogant. I think it was you who stole it." A student defended Mali.
"This kind of habitual thief is very tough-talking. He will never tell the truth without interrogation."
The students talked a lot, and some unpleasant words kept coming out, thinking that they were the messengers of justice.
"I'll say it again, I didn't enter that dormitory at all, and I didn't see any money bag!" Downton tried his best to suppress his temper. If he hadn't been worried about getting Elaine into trouble, he would have beaten her up. "You guys go
Find that Vincent, he did all of this, by the way, the building manager of the girls’ dormitory should know him.”
"Lock him up first, and you guys go ask the building manager." A senior stood up. He had the responsibility to handle this matter.
"This kid is very strong. What if he runs away? He needs to be tied up with a rope." Mari suggested.
The students naturally faced their classmates, and someone immediately went to get the rope.
"Don't go too far." Downton's brows furrowed, enough to pinch a crab to death. If they tied him up, it would definitely be a stain on his life.
Not to mention possessing the ancient magic book and having a net worth of over 100 million now, in the past when he was a postman, with Downton's proud character, he would rather be beaten to death than suffer such humiliation.
"You must be feeling guilty for being so uncooperative." Mali continued to provoke.
There were also a few people who spoke for Downton, but the number was too small after all, and they didn't want to offend a classmate for a stranger, so the voices quickly disappeared, and they all spoke unanimously to Downton.
"It's too rude to kidnap someone, why not search them? It's simple and clear at a glance." Stefan appeared, putting on a good-natured attitude, "If people are poor, they don't necessarily have no ambition! Maybe it's a misunderstanding.
."
"I'll search!" Mali was very urgent, just like a poor man who lost his money bag, and he moved very loudly, pushing directly on Downton's chest, "Go, stand against the wall."
The search was indeed not a big problem, and Downton didn't want to waste time here, so he was prepared to comply.
"Hurry up, stand against the wall." Mali pushed Downton and said harshly, "By the way, what if he hides the gold coins in the chrysanthemums?"
"Then take off your clothes and check!" One student replied casually, and then a group of people burst into laughter.
Downton's face suddenly turned red, and there was an indescribable anger brewing.
"Stop making noise, be quiet." The senior scolded, and then turned to Downton, "Don't worry, I won't take off your clothes. I just need to search your body, and you can leave if there are no problems."
"Humph, if you want to leave, just go and dream!" Stefan snorted coldly, "I can't vent the hatred in my heart unless I throw you into prison."
The senior had good intentions, but he had no idea that someone was behind this matter. (To be continued...)
