Griffith put away the grenade, thought for a while and asked Veronos: "Excuse me, is Mr. Pepperanchi here?"
Griffith thought of the assistant teacher in the alchemy course, Pepper Ranch. The assistant's crazy behavior and surprising stories once made him frightened. However, when Griffith realized that he could not escape the mysterious influence even if he wanted to escape,
Instead, we need advice and strength, seeking knowledge about these superior beings and exploring how we can protect ourselves and those around us.
"Are you looking for Pepe Ranchi?" Velonos looked at him with regret, spread his hands and said, "It seems that your research topic has to be re-selected."
Since the Whispering Forest incident at the end of the first semester, Velonos, as the temporary director of the camp, has been under investigation for a period of time. In the end, the school gave him a sanction and retained his job.
This man is undoubtedly suspicious. He and Pepperanchi participated in the summoning of the ancient gods and were responsible for the training of familiars; the territory of Professor Salorian who led him was infested by strong orcs. In addition, an attack was launched in the Whispering Forest.
The origin of the goblin is still a mystery, and it is impossible to cultivate and train it without a spellcaster who is familiar with the familiar.
Moreover, when the attack in Manisa Village was launched, there were not only goblins, but also some living corpses. According to Griffith's experience, these monsters are creations of the undead path, and behind them are the lives of the virtual world.
Apart from this, the specific identity of Aaron in it is still unknown.
Throughout the second semester of the first grade, Griffith continued to help with the Potions course under the leadership of Veronos, and by the way obtained some supplies and experimental equipment to prepare himself the potions needed for battle. The Larmore family
He and Canaan must have been watching the associate professor. During this period, Velonus was very calm and there was no suspicious clue.
Griffith was not ready to delve into it yet. He had many other things to do, so he just asked:
"What happened to Mr. Pepperanchi?"
There was obvious hesitation on Associate Professor Velonos's face. He thought for a while and motioned for Griffith to come to him.
They passed by Pepperanchi's laboratory, but found that it had been closed. Some people were cleaning things there.
Velonus led Griffith through the deep corridors and the bottom of the building, and came to the depths of Homemonworth Castle. It was built with solid rock and steel, and the guards and familiars who came and went never relaxed their vigilance.
.
Here, Velonos pointed to an independent ward: "Originally, he should be sent to a mental hospital, but Master Salorian insisted on taking care of him here for a while before sending him away.
"His mind is very unclear, and there is no guarantee that he will be able to learn anything from him."
With that, Veronos left.
Alchemy assistant Peperange was lying on the hospital bed with multiple injuries all over his body. He was as tattered as a rag doll that had been bitten by wild dogs. His eyes were blurred, he was unconscious, and he was mumbling indiscernible gibberish.
Powerful potions and surgeries saved his life, but not his mind.
Griffith looked through the treatment records beside the bed. Pepperanchi would be awake for 2-3 hours every day, and in addition would be lethargic and endlessly babbled. He seemed to be telling stories from another world.
"I heard it, I saw it." The assistant teacher lay on the bed and muttered repeatedly.
Griffith asked hopelessly: "What did you see?"
Pepperanchi's face began to turn gray with fear: "Something I can't tell. They move slowly through all angles. They have no body, and they move slowly through different angles... Oh my god,
They've broken through, they're breaking through! Smoke is pouring in from the corners. Their tongues—"
He repeated these ridiculous words, which made people confused. If Pepperanchi was just crazy before, then he is completely confused now.
For such a person, Griffith can only wish him a speedy recovery and no longer expect to get clues.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sentence that shocked his heart.
"No. 13, warehouse——
"Stay away from there."
Pepperanchi seemed to be warning him.
Warehouse 13? This is the place where Elodie's father, Dr. Zion, stores experimental materials. It should be in Homemonworth, but no one knows the specific location. Griffith hurriedly leaned down, hoping to hear clearly
Some.
"Where is Warehouse No. 13? Why do you know?"
"Are you Griffith?" Pepperanchi's eyes regained some clarity and he began to speak normally. "The warehouse is in Baltimore. It is a school property. Some employees told me."
Hired workers, those strange people... Griffith immediately became wary.
"They came to me and said that there was a remote warehouse in the town outside the school where the creations of the ancient gods were stored. I believed them and went there together.
"These employees are very strange. Their speech and behavior are different from the locals, and their clothes are not noble, but each of them is a low-ranking extraordinary person.
"They believe in a god called the 'Creator' and act according to His oracles.
"I followed them and came to that place. It was an old warehouse. Broken glass was scattered on the floor and there was thick dust. There was nothing special about it. Suddenly, they started to attack me. Hehehe, how stupid.
people.
"I had already prepared for the battle. I blocked the terrain and used magic to attack them. I killed seven people in less than two minutes, and the others fled in all directions. Then, in order to investigate their motives and the truth, I conducted some searches.
"After careful search, I found a strange emblem. It was a pattern and shape that I didn't recognize. Just when I was about to study it in depth, those things appeared."
Griffith asked: "What?"
Pepperanchi stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the quasi-knight's clothes: "What I saw was a tunnel leading to another world."
"Tunnel? Another world?" Griffith asked in a low voice, "What is it like there?"
Pepperanchi shook his head:
"I didn't see it clearly. Just when I was trying to investigate, there appeared a strange living thing that cannot be described in words.
"Those monsters from far away that do not belong to this world, they howl forever in that terrible whirlpool. Yes, they are the servants and slaves of the devil,
"Their secrets must not be touched, our world and gods will banish them, and only the foolish will attract them."
Griffith looked at the assistant coach with broken limbs: "Did it cause these wounds?"
"Yes, its skin is slippery and extremely corrosive. It uses magic as easily as it uses its claws. I was severely injured and dying."
Pepperanchi's gray eyes squirmed and looked at Griffith. He made a hesitant sound in his throat, but couldn't say anything.
"Tell me where warehouse No. 13 is?"
"You can't go there."
"Why?"
"The principal sealed off the warehouse and built strong walls and magic defense lines there," Pepperanchi said. "Many of my research materials about the ancient gods were classified as high-risk sealed objects and were sealed there together."
"Instead of moving it back to the campus, are you leaving it there?"
"Yes, there are already a lot of dangerous goods in the school. The principal, under the advice of Professor Salorian, transformed Warehouse No. 13 into a strong sealing facility. Moreover, there are many people coming and going in that place. If you break in forcefully, you will definitely
Will be discovered by the principal.
"If you must go, the address is No. 22, Beria Street."
…
The situation is getting more and more complicated.
Griffith spent the next day thinking about whether he should break out and investigate the warehouse at 22 Belia Street. There might be secrets about Elodie and the Tsuruura incident hidden there. However, it would be possible to act hastily.
Will fall into the conspiracy. Pepperanchi is mentally confused and may have been manipulated by some being.
As late night approaches, another arrangement of his arrives.
Today is September 1st, which is the first day of every month when Mr. Hermit holds a party. Minos reminded him in advance.
"Griffith, Mr. Hermit's party is about to begin. Slowly go up the stairs at 10 o'clock in the evening and diffuse psychic energy through Minos, and you will be introduced to Mr. Hermit's space."
The last gathering was organized on an ad hoc basis, mainly to discuss Blood Warrior Brunaph's request for assistance, and by the way, Griffith was invited to join the party.
Griffith hesitated for a moment and then joined the party earlier.
With the help of the ring, he seemed to have traveled through an illusory plane, crossed an extremely long distance, and arrived at the palace where heroes were like stars in the sky. Several participants had already arrived at the round table that was as big as an altar.
"Good evening, Mr. Death Knight," Miss Magician had been waiting at the round table early. She politely stood up and raised her skirt to greet him, "Nice to see you again."
Griffith immediately greeted her with military salute.
From the temperament point of view, Miss Magician should be the daughter of a big noble. Her gentleness, confidence, intelligence and noble temperament are perfectly unified in her body. She does not host the meeting like Mr. Arbitrator, but other guests attending the party
When she talks to herself, just a few words from her can bring everyone back to order.
Miss Lover has also arrived. She stroked her long hair that cascaded down to her ankles, sat down on her seat, and cast her curious eyes over.
"Do we know each other? Mr. Death Knight?"
"We don't know each other's names, and we can't see each other's faces clearly. Even if we knew each other, we wouldn't recognize each other."
"Well, what you said makes sense..." Miss Lover nodded.
At this moment, Miss Fengxiang's tall figure appeared beside the round table, took over Miss Lover's topic and continued: "It's not surprising that the people attending this party know each other or have other connections.
"Death Knight, maybe when you look back you will find that the people sitting here are all familiar people~"
Ah, here, there is only one person like you among the people I know... Griffith tried his best to suppress his thoughts and not show them.
