"Do you know much about Caesar?" Rob decided to seek the opinion of a professional.
"Caesar? That guy isn't simple. "Royce finished his pineapple bun and sipped on his black tea." Do you want to hear some juicy news? Five silver coins. It's definitely worth it. "
Archmage was surprised. "Caesar just entered the school for a day, and you already have juicy news about him?"
"Ha, don't underestimate my ability. The Andrea Family is quite famous in the south, and Caesar is the most outstanding youth of his generation. He's a strong contender for the next master of the family. Since he's coming to Siames to study, I'll definitely do my homework. How about it? I'll share the results of my investigation with you for only five silver coins."
Rob realized that ever since he got to know the female archer, he had been spending money at an insanely fast pace. He originally thought that the harvest from the underground city would be able to support him for a long time, but according to his current spending speed, he would return to his original state of being penniless in a few weeks.
As Archmage fished out the money, he began to consider if he should find a way to earn some extra income.
Royce was very satisfied. He took the silver coins and carefully listened to the beautiful sound of them dropping into the purse. The female archer felt a great sense of happiness from this process. "Hmm, the information is first-hand, so I won't charge you 20% service fee. Speaking of which, don't you find it strange? With Caesar's aptitude, why would he come to Siames to study?"
"Isn't it because of the will of the previous master of the Andrea Family?" Rob brought up the explanation he heard at the school gates.
"Hehe, it seems like you've heard of that before. But that's obviously a clumsy lie made up by the Andrea Family. No normal person would believe it. Caesar's true purpose in coming to Siames is to find someone," Royce said with a straight face.
"Find someone?" This answer was somewhat out of Archmage's expectations. "Who?"
"I don't know." Royce shook his head. "And I suspect that he doesn't even know who he's looking for. Just now, Leo took away the files of all the students and teachers. If I'm not mistaken, he probably gave them to Caesar."
Rob recalled the time when Leo disappeared in the cafeteria, and the package in his hand when he reappeared. He did not expect that it was a file. So Caesar was indeed looking for someone.
That would be interesting. Who was this person? Was it the man who had helped Hobson and Foreman when they were in trouble?
However, Archmage quickly overthrew his own inference. No, it shouldn't be. If such a person really existed, then he would be at least eighty years old. There were only a few old professors over eighty years old in the Siamos Academy. This area was too small to hide someone.
The guardian of a secret? This was highly possible. After all, valuable things usually had a guardian, and the guardian was likely to be passed down from generation to generation. This explained why Caesar couldn't determine who it was. Hobson might have seen the old guardian back then, but the current guardian had changed. So, Caesar could only try his luck and gather information on everyone in the school to analyze who was more suspicious.
"It's not just Caesar. The Andrea family will arrange for one or two young people to attend school in Siamos from time to time. Completing their studies is secondary. Their main purpose in school is to find someone, and to find someone, manpower is essential. Did you know that the student council of Siamos has always been secretly controlled by the Andrea family? Since Hobson's time, the position of student council president has always been a member of the Andrea family or their appointed representative. So, in the next student council election, Caesar is determined to win the position of president. Leo is here to hug his thigh in advance."
"As for Caesar …" Royce stirred the black tea with a spoon. "He is the most outstanding young man of this generation in the Andrea family. He is scheming and ruthless. Don't be deceived by his gentlemanly appearance. This guy is a popular candidate for the next head of the Andrea family. He is a typical utilitarian, arrogant, and narcissistic. If he feels that you are useful to him, he will show you enough care and patience. He can even cast aside his identity and call you brother. But once you are useless to him, he will abandon you without hesitation. In addition, I suspect that he didn't do his best in the entrance test."
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor made a sound of acknowledgment.
This time, it was Royce's turn to be surprised. "Eh, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Of course, Rob wasn't surprised. Caesar's level of disguise might be able to fool others, but it definitely couldn't fool the future Supreme Magus Your Honor. Rob already knew that this guy had held back during the entrance test. This didn't mean that his talent was better than what he showed, but that he was already a mage before joining Siames, and a grade 3 mage at that. The aptitude test had to be done before the examinee became a mage. This was because after becoming a mage, one's elemental affinity, mental strength, and perception would increase correspondingly. However, even if Caesar's true aptitude wasn't grade A, it shouldn't be far from it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to become a grade 3 mage at such a young age.
Royce thought for a while and reluctantly poured out two silver coins from his purse. He pushed them in front of Rob. "Our reputation can't be destroyed. Since you already knew about the last message, I'll return you a portion of the money."
Archmage didn't stand on ceremony and kept the two silver coins. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. He hadn't found a way to make money yet, so he had to save as much as he could. He had already discovered that Royce was very useful, but this girl was a bottomless pit that couldn't be filled no matter how much money was thrown at her. On the other hand, the information and services she provided were indeed worth the money.
This girl was simply the embodiment of an angel and a devil. She was loved and hated at the same time.
Royce rubbed her belly. "It's rare to get such a big order today. I suddenly have an appetite again. I'll have another piece of pigeon pie later. You don't have to wait for me."
The female archer had already asked him to leave, so Rob naturally wouldn't ask for a rebuff. He stood up and said goodbye. This trip was quite rewarding. At least he knew that Caesar was looking for someone. At the same time, he seemed to have some thoughts about Lolo.
As for the former, Archmage and the Andrea Family didn't have any good ideas at the moment. They could only try their luck. Caesar started with the name list, and Rob started with the lives of Hobbs and Foreman. In any case, they were all just guessing. As for the latter, Archmage still couldn't figure out what Caesar was playing at. His attitude towards Lolo was contradictory when it came to the staff and the elective. Rob was too lazy to guess what this guy was thinking. In any case, if he was as polite as he was today, Archmage wouldn't care about him. If he dared to look for trouble, Rob wouldn't mind helping him change his worldview.
