On the way back from the bathroom, Luo Luo saw a burly man. The man seemed to be afraid of the cold. He wrapped himself tightly with a cotton cap and lowered his head. When they passed each other, he quickly stuffed a piece of paper into the girl's hand.
Lolo was a little surprised and opened the crumpled note. There was only one sentence written on it — I know where Granny Teresa is. The Brave Newbie's expression changed drastically when he saw the short sentence.
Teresa was a name that she would never forget for the rest of her life. She was her mother, Eluria's most trusted and respected teacher. She had accompanied Eluria through the last moments of her life when she was gravely ill. She was also the most suspicious person in Eluria's unexpected death. Teresa had suddenly disappeared the day before Eluria's burial. It was as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth, and there had been no news of her ever since. The Scarlet Sword had been searching for her for more than a decade, but she had not been able to find her until her death.
If they wanted to find out what had happened back then, the most important thing was to find Granny Teresa.
However, Karov had already proven that this was a dead end. The Scarlet Sword had mobilized the power of the entire Bretton Family, as well as their own connections and prestige. They had expended a large amount of manpower and resources to search the entire Dawn Continent, but to no avail.
Just like that, Teresa had completely disappeared, leaving no trace behind.
Sometimes, even Karov himself wondered if there really was an old granny named Teresa in this world, or if she was just a figment of his imagination after he had lost his true love.
Lolo did not expect to see this name again today. Granny Teresa did not hold a high position in the Shrine. She was just an ordinary civil servant who was responsible for teaching the nuns in a convent. She lived in seclusion and rarely came out, so few people had heard of her name. In other words, the person who had written this must have known what had happened to the Bretton Family.
The girl hurriedly turned around to look for the burly figure, but he had already walked into the bathroom. Luo Luo did not care about the difference between men and women. She kicked open the door of the men's bathroom and rushed in without saying a word. As a result, the guy inside who was pulling up his pants was almost scared to death.
Lolo quickly looked around and saw that there was no one else in the washroom. She grabbed the guy by the collar and asked, "Where's that big guy? Where did he go?"
The guy holding up his pants shivered. "What big guy? I only saw you rushing in alone."
"Impossible. The corridor outside only leads to here. I saw him walk in with my own eyes," the girl said firmly.
The guy smiled bitterly and said, "Beauty, it's scary enough that you rushed in without a care in the world. Don't make up a ghost story. The door was locked from the inside when I went to the washroom. No one could have come in. And my posture, uh, my face is facing the door. If someone came in, I would have seen it."
Her intuition told her that the guy in front of her was not lying. But she did see the burly figure walking into the washroom not long ago. Could it be another psychic spell? Luo Luo closed her eyes and recalled the moment they brushed past each other. At the same time that the note was stuffed into her hand, she had also touched his fingers. Those were two cold and hard fingers that did not have any warmth.
The man … was not a human, but not a ghost either. He was more like a golem or a puppet. In other words, it was controlled by someone.
Luo Luo lowered her head and looked at the note in her hand again. She was no longer the innocent little girl who was protected by her father and family. If she had received this note five years ago, she would probably have thought that it was her father's friend who used this method to get in touch with her in order to avoid being monitored by the Divine Hall. However, after experiencing so many things, she had learned to be vigilant toward strangers.
After so many years, why did the man choose to look for her now? And why did he use such a secretive method? How much did he or she know about what happened back then? What was the purpose of looking for her?
Before getting to the bottom of things, Luo Luo couldn't be sure if the owner of the golem had good or bad intentions towards her. But one thing was for sure. Since the owner of the golem had shown up, he wouldn't just leave a message. He would definitely come looking for her again, and all she had to do now was to wait patiently.
In just a short moment, Lolo had made up her mind not to tell anyone about this. Although the little scholar had now become her guardian knight, she subconsciously didn't want him to get too involved in this matter. The name Teresa was like a curse. Anyone who got involved with her would eventually die a horrible death. The girl had lost her parents, and she didn't want to suffer this kind of pain again.
So this time, even if it was for her own selfish reasons, Lolo decided to face everything alone.
…
Back in the dormitory at night, Gage asked a certain someone, "Did you feel that Lolo was a little strange tonight?"
"Yeah, why do you say so?"
"I felt like she changed into a different person after coming back from the washroom. Since then, she seemed to be … uh, there was a murderous aura around her." Gage scratched his head. "This murderous aura isn't the kind of murderous aura that a young couple would have when they were having a fight. Anyway, she looked a little scary just now."
"Is that so? Maybe she was provoked by some blind guy when she was on duty in the disciplinary department." Archmage said casually. As he spoke, he took out a novel that he hadn't finished last week, laid down on his bed, and started flipping through it.
Gage was stunned. He thought that someone would have the same doubts, but he didn't expect Rob to act as if he didn't notice anything unusual about Lolo during dinner. That's strange. Aren't the two of them good friends?
But someone's nonchalant reaction made him lose interest in the topic. After that, the two chatted for a while about the freshmen competition in two months, and Fatso went to bed.
