Chapter 486 Etiquette (Thank you Accardo for the big gift~~)
Conan flew all the way and didn't stop until he ran out of mana. Only then did he have the intention to look back.
Unlike what he imagined, there were no shocking changes in the tomb. He was still very quiet, as if his offense just now did not make the tomb owner angry.
Conan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. After observing for a while and confirming that no new accidents occurred, Conan couldn't help but return to the scene and took his horse away.
After all, this horse is quite expensive, and he doesn't want to lose a lot of money.
Conan prepares to return to the Mage Academy to tell Dean Lenara the news. After all, he can no longer handle the current situation.
At this time, Dean Lenara was in her residence.
She always felt that being the dean would be very tiring, and she was ready to work overtime every day. But in fact, since she became the dean, she didn't feel that there was anything that needed her to deal with.
Her relatives and friends alone have already arranged everything.
And when Lenara asked to find her parents, those relatives and friends became even more enthusiastic. They not only mobilized the power of the academy, but also pointed out to Lenara the location of many folk powers. Lenara was very touched by this.
It's just that with so many resources spread out, there is no clue about the whereabouts of his parents.
Queen Malika has returned to the human kingdom, and she has also mobilized official forces to find Lenara's parents. But so far, no useful news has been released.
Today, several private detectives hope to check out Lenara's home. They think they may be able to find some clues about Lenara's parents here.
With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, Lenara agreed to their request.
Several detectives were looking around Lenara's house, which made Lenara a little embarrassed because the house had not been cleaned up for a long time.
But the detective was very happy about it, because if it had been cleaned up, many clues might have been destroyed.
After some searching, several detectives also found some useful clues.
They found a notebook and a hidden tunnel under the carpet in his parents' bedroom.
Lenara was so surprised by this that he also searched for clues in his parents' room. But found nothing.
Sure enough, it is better for professionals to be responsible for professional matters.
Lenara's mood instantly improved a lot.
Several detectives looked at the authentic secret door and did not open it in a hurry.
They cautiously came to Renara and bowed: "Master Dean, maybe you should go in and take a look at this tunnel first."
Although Lenora didn't understand why the detective did this, she readily agreed.
In fact, the detectives were affected by the previous corpse hiding case in the tunnel, and were afraid that there would be some scandal about Renara's parents. I'm afraid they'll be in trouble if they see something they shouldn't.
Lenara stood at the door of the tunnel. The entrance to this tunnel was hidden very cleverly. And it also requires a specific knocking sound to open.
But the detectives already knew how to gain access by cracking the notebooks of Lenara's parents.
They told Renara how to enter and then exited the room.
Lenara opened the tunnel door with excitement.
A cold breath surged up from the tunnel, which made Lenara shiver.
She calmed down and walked down. The tunnel was not deep. Once inside, she could see a large basement.
There were some messy candles placed on the floor of the basement. Lenara raised a lighting magic, and the faint light illuminated everything around her.
Then an abandoned magic circle caught her sight.
Lenara looked around again and breathed a sigh of relief when she found nothing bad.
She squatted on the ground and studied the magic circle for a while. She always felt that this magic circle was more like some kind of teleportation circle.
"Did my parents leave through this magic circle? Where is the connection on the other side?" Lenara was a little curious.
She cleaned up the waste stones on the magic circle, and then took some pyroxenes rich in magical power from home.
She really wanted to activate the magic circle and go to the other side to have a look. But her reason told her that it was best not to do this when she was not sure what dangers there were on the other side.
"Maybe I should find Queen Malika. She is the most powerful person in the world. There should be no danger that can threaten her." Lenara couldn't help but think.
Lenara returned to the surface and blocked the tunnel again.
Several detectives are studying Renara's parents' notebooks.
"Master Dean, we have deciphered this note. We have not read the content behind it. This is the method of deciphering it. You can check it by yourself against the notes."
The detectives were still very wise. They only deciphered the first half and left the second half to the dean. After all, they don't want to touch the secrets in this notebook.
Lenara took the notebook and thanked the detectives gratefully.
The detectives returned the favor and left, as there were no more clues to be found here. Next, they need to wait for the dean to read the notebook and provide clues before they can continue.
Lenora held the notebook and began to read the contents using the deciphering method taught to her by the detectives.
The first half of the notebook is mostly filled with magical experiences and insights.
The second half of the notebook begins to tell stories.
It turns out that Lenara's parents received the inheritance about the witch Se Lian by coincidence.
They were lucky enough to encounter the magic circle that was classified as taboo.
Because the situation of the Full Moon mages was precarious at that time. Desperate, they began to study this forbidden magic circle.
But after their long research, they were surprised to find that this magic circle did not seem to be an evil magic circle.
It's more like a combination of teleportation and summoning.
So they made some changes to this magic circle based on this idea.
It happened that the Storm King's treasure was being spread a lot at that time, so they planned to use this magic circle to directly reach the Storm King's treasure.
However, whether the experiment was successful in the end was not written in the notebook.
Seeing Lenara here, an extremely bad premonition surged in her heart.
Meanwhile, Malika has found Lenara's parents.
In fact, they have known each other for a long time. In Wang Yu's safe house, Lenara's parents had already appeared here.
It's just that this couple is very low-key. Although Marika knows them, she doesn't have much communication with them.
And these two people are very strange. They never play games, but keep a straight face all day long, as if they are hiding some important secret.
Others ignored their gesture.
For most people, death is the end of their previous life. They will no longer think about the troubles of their lifetime, and they will only focus on the present.
This strange couple once aroused Marika's curiosity, but the other party did not want to communicate with her, so she did not delve too deeply into it.
It wasn't until Lenara asked her to find her parents that she tried to go to the safe house to confirm. Unexpectedly, those two people were really Lenara's parents.
Marika felt a little melancholy for a moment, she didn't know how to tell Lenara the news.
"My Queen, why are you looking for us?" Lenara's mother asked.
"Well, your daughter is looking for you. She has become the dean of the Mage Academy."
When the couple heard this, they were immediately surprised.
"How is it possible! How could that girl be so virtuous..." They were all in disbelief.
They know their daughter very well. Lenara's only advantage is her beautiful appearance, but other aspects are average. And her magic talent can only be said to be average. Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that she will become the dean with her ability.
Their daughter can't even keep up with some of her peers. They could see that their daughter worked hard, but even so, it was not enough.
In this regard, they have long been prepared for their daughter's ordinary life.
But when they really teleported to the Giant King's treasure, they suddenly discovered that maybe their daughter could really get ahead.
Lenora's parents looked at each other. They asked hesitantly: "How did Lenara become the dean? Did she suddenly become very powerful one day?"
Marika was stunned for a moment. She had no idea what Renara's parents were talking about. "I don't know how powerful Lenora is. She became the dean probably because of me."
Marika talked a little bit about the situation.
When Lenara's parents heard this, their eyes suddenly dimmed.
They felt that Queen Mallika was supporting a puppet. Their daughter's fate may not be good in the future.
But everything changes for the better when their daughter discovers their secret and successfully receives the Storm King's treasure. Then their daughter will eventually stand up and become the master one day.
The couple still had unrealistic fantasies, and they didn't understand how strong Marika really was.
Just when they were silent. Marika scratched her head and said: "Can I tell Lenara your whereabouts? She may be very sad. But hiding it is also a long torture for Lenara."
The couple rolled their eyes, and then said in unison: "Please tell her the truth!"
Lenara's father paused and continued: "You can tell my daughter our situation. In addition, I hope you can pass on a message to her... bring food alone."
"Bringing food alone?" Marika looked confused.
"Yes! Please bring it!" Lenara's mother said, holding Marika's hand.
"Okay...that's it?"
"Yes!"
"Oh."
When Marika woke up again, she had come out of the safe house.
"Lenara's parents are really a weird pair." Marika shook her head.
She could tell the two were hiding secrets, but she didn't care too much.
Marika walked to the balcony and spread her four pairs of wings. She turned into a golden light and quickly flew towards the Mage Academy.
But on the way, she saw a magical scene.
I saw a man riding a horse galloping in the sky.
Marika was shocked when she saw this. This was the first time she had seen such a spectacle.
She thought it was some kind of precious Pegasus, but later she discovered that the reason why the horse could walk in the air was because the owner on its back used gravity magic on it.
Malika flew forward curiously and said hello to the other party.
"Hello, Sky Knight."
Conan is concentrating on controlling the flight. His magic power is still too little, and such flying cannot last for too long. However, in order to return to the academy as soon as possible, he can't care so much.
He was startled when he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Who?" Conan looked at Marika with four pairs of wings and was stunned for a second.
"Queen Mallika? Hello!" Conan was a little surprised.
Marika looked forward. This little knight in the sky probably wanted to cross the mountain in front. This saves a lot of time.
"Let me help you!" Marika released her divine power and wrapped the sky knight and flew over the mountains.
"Thank you! My name is Conan..." Conan was placed on the road at the foot of the mountain.
"Conan?" Marika glanced at Conan in surprise. "You're not a high school detective, are you?" Marika said teasingly.
Conan's face turned slightly red. "So I am already so famous? You are right, I am indeed a detective. What is a high school student?"
"Huh? You are really a detective!" Marika was really surprised. "I can only say that your name is very suitable for your career!"
"Huh?" Conan was a little confused.
Marika looked Conan up and down, and Conan was so frightened by the sight.
"The Queen is not coveting my beauty, right? Should I accept it then? Or should I accept it tactfully?" Conan couldn't help but think about it.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you something." Marika leaned against the tree and fell into a slumber.
"I accept!" Conan nodded hastily. Then he realized what Marika said, and he couldn't help but blush.
However, there seemed to be nothing inconsistent with his answer.
Conan waited for about two minutes before Marika woke up again.
There were several more items in her hand.
Marika put a pair of black-rimmed glasses on Conan's hot little face.
Then he tied a red bow around Conan's neck.
The blush on Conan's face had spread down to his neck.
Finally, Marika stuffed a yellow talisman into Conan's pocket.
After doing everything, she nodded Conan's confused head. A burst of passionate music suddenly appeared on Conan. If there were prisoners at the scene, they might be frightened into confessing on the spot.
"Tsk tsk~ Except for the different hair colors, everything else is similar!" Marika held Conan's cheek and said something that Conan didn't understand.
At this time, Conan felt like he was about to faint. Was he being teased by the queen?
"Hey hey hey! Detective Conan, we are destined to meet again." After saying that, Marika flapped her wings and left here.
Conan was left with a red face and speechless.
When the queen left, Conan felt his heart beating like a drum.
His favorite is the big sister type, and he has no resistance at all to a woman like Marika.
After being in a daze on the horse for a long time, he gradually calmed down.
"Alas! How could I be favored by the Queen? Conan, Conan, let's think of something meaningful!" Conan patted his cheek.
Then he noticed the trinket on his face. He took off his glasses and inspected them.
When the Queen put on his glasses, the gentle touch still lingered in his mind for a long time.
A faint sense of happiness surrounded him, making him feel like he was soaking in a hot spring.
Although Conan has a good impression of Queen Marika, Marika has no idea about it.
She just felt that there was something strange about the name Conan appearing here.
She flew very fast and arrived at the Mage Academy in a short time.
She fell into the Mage Academy and took away her wings.
Many people saw her arrival and were ready to notify the higher-ups.
Malika ignored this and went straight to Renara's home.
Renara looked happy when she saw Mallika. She was about to ask Malika for help, but she didn't expect that the other party actually came to the door in person.
"It's great that you came! I found a clue to my parents, but the destination the clue points to may be dangerous. I need your help!"
"Oh! Lenora, actually...I have found your parents." Marika sighed.
Lenara's eyes widened instantly. "Where are they now?"
"They... are dead. But their souls are in a very beautiful place." Marika said.
Lenara's expression was a little dazed, and her brain seemed to be stuck by this sentence. She struggled for a long time before finally digesting this sentence.
Lenora showed a relieved yet sad expression. In fact, she had been mentally prepared for it, but the cruelty of reality still made her unable to accept it.
"Do you own their souls? Can I see them?" Lenara braced herself and continued to ask.
"I'm sorry, little Nana. I'm afraid you can't meet each other. But your parents want me to bring you a message." Marika said.
Lenara's eyes moved slightly.
"They said...well...one person can bring food alone." Marika felt a little awkward after finishing speaking. This sentence has no beginning and no end, and is indeed confusing.
After Lenara reacted for a while, she seemed to think of something. "My parents want to tell me that the magic circle can only be activated when one person is alone, and there may be no food in the place where you are teleported?"
"By the way, Lenora. You just said you found clues about your parents? What clues were they?" Marika asked.
Lenara was silent for a moment. "Those clues aren't important anymore, are they?"
Marika stepped forward and hugged Lenara gently.
"Everything will be fine," Malika whispered.
Lenara leaned into Marika's arms, a hint of haze flashed in her eyes.
What the parents conveyed to Malika was a code word, which showed that the parents did not trust Malika. This made Renara feel suspicious.
It seems that there are some things that she must seek answers for herself.
Marika stayed at Lenara's house for one night and then left.
After sending Marika away, Lenara sat on a chair in the living room and was in a daze for a while.
Then she got up and started preparing food. She was going to take a look at the other side of the teleportation array.
Just as she was preparing food, there was a knock on her door again.
Lenara frowned and opened the door.
"Are you Conan?" Lenara was still very impressed by this child.
"My parents have been found. You don't have to return the previous reward. Thank you for your help." Lenara said perfunctorily.
"Huh? Impossible! Your parents should still be in that tomb! My sense cannot be wrong!" Conan said in a panic.
Conan's words made Lenara alert. She pulled Conan into the living room and closed the door.
"What did you find? Tell me quickly!" Lenara's eyes were serious.
Conan immediately told Lenara what he knew.
"Is that teleportation array connected to the tomb? And the tomb is very dangerous... But why did my parents let me go to such a dangerous place?"
Lenora took a deep breath, trying to sort out her confused thoughts.
Because she had some doubts about Marika, Lenara did not seek help from Marika.
In fact, Marika's kindness to her seemed to be for no reason all this time, which made Lenara always have a feeling of fear.
And what Marika told her about the future. She wasn't entirely convinced either.
Once suspicion arises, Marika's body will be filled with doubts.
A feeling of being at a loss as to what to do came over Lenara's heart.
After a while, Lenara said to Conan: "Thank you, Conan. If the tomb is really that dangerous, maybe we should find some strong companions. I'll leave this matter to you."
Lenara patted Conan on the shoulder. She was quite impressed by this child.
After discovering that Conan was willing to explore the tomb, she was ready to continue entrusting Conan to go with him.
Later, Lenara took out a crystal card from her arms and handed it to Conan, which contained a lot of money. Moreover, this card is also a symbol of privileges and can be used for many conveniences.
Conan took the card excitedly. "Don't worry, I will help you find some powerful people!"
"Yes!" Lenara showed a trusting smile. She no longer knew who to trust. The child in front of her seemed to be very kind, and Lenara subconsciously chose to believe it.
After Conan came out of Renara's residence, he immediately started looking for his teammates.
His first thought was of Biddy. Although he had never seen the opponent take action, his intuition told him that Biddy should be very powerful.
It's just that Biddy alone seems a bit weak. So Conan began to activate his abilities to find a source of gravity strong enough.
Conan followed the direction of his pocket watch and came to the library.
Conan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Ah! Which mentor does it seem like the person I'm looking for is?"
Conan followed the guide all the way up. He arrived at the eighth floor of the library, which was inaccessible without special permissions.
Fortunately, he has the privilege crystal card given to him by Lenara.
The mage guarding the gate studied the card for a long time, and then reluctantly let it go.
He is the Mage of the Star Party, and he dislikes Lenora, the so-called dean. But the rules were such that he had no choice but to let it go.
"Tch!" Conan was very disdainful of this. The way the other person was squirming was not elegant at all.
There are very few people on the eighth floor, and most of them are old men with white beards. Conan's young face attracted a lot of attention.
But soon everyone lost interest.
Conan grimaced and began to wander around, looking for the source of strong gravity.
Finally, he found the source of gravity near a window.
It was a tall man nearly 4 meters tall. His face was solemn and his expression was focused. A book was floating in front of him without any wind.
The pages clattered, and within a few seconds, the book was finished.
He put the book back on the shelf, then took out another one and continued reading.
The sun shone on his bright red hair like a rising flame.
Conan swallowed and slowly walked forward. The pressure on him from the person in front of him was much stronger than Bidike's.
"Hello, my name is Conan. I have something to ask you for help."
"Hello, my name is La Datan." The red-haired man made an emotionless voice.
During the short learning process, I discovered the big tank. As long as you remain polite, many unnecessary troubles will not happen. So he treated everyone else with impeccable courtesy.
And he likes this structured behavior pattern very much. So he is very fascinated by various human etiquette.
