The students of Siamese realized that the graffiti that they had been talking about for the past few days had suddenly disappeared. Many of them felt that it was a pity. In fact, after the initial shock, everyone had gradually gotten used to those ambiguous and ambiguous messages. Those graffiti brought endless imagination to the viewers.
Now, there were all sorts of strange versions circulating in the school. Some said that it was a story of a girl who had been abandoned and was bitterly waiting for her playboy boyfriend to return. Some said that it was a trick of a female ghost coming to fulfill her vow and seduce an innocent virgin boy. But these were not the most bizarre. The most bizarre was that after studying the handwriting on the wall, someone discovered that the person who left the message was most likely a male. From there, they imagined a poignant love story of a man and a woman who fell in love but was not accepted by the world.
In short, reading through the messages before dinner every day and trying to guess the meaning behind them had become a hobby for many people. There was even a group of fellows who had nothing better to do and specially formed a school's unsolved mysteries detective team, vowing to uncover the story behind the messages on the wall.
At night, the members of the team gathered at the entrance of the cafeteria and agreed to search for the mysterious person who left the message. Unfortunately, before they could succeed, they bumped into the female head of the disciplinary department. Each of them was given a warning. After the team was formed, they only carried out one group operation before they were tragically disbanded.
On the other hand, Garcia, the creator of the graffiti, heaved a long sigh of relief. When Jessica found him and told him that his mission was completed and that he would no longer have to be on tenterhooks from the Student Council, the latter almost burst into tears.
These days, Garcia had been living a precarious life, hiding from place to place like a water rat. If not for his will to enter the Guild of Rogues supporting him, he would have long surrendered to the evil forces of the Student Council. Now that he was able to escape unscathed, it was already a pleasant surprise for him.
Like the others, Garcia was also curious about the person that the female mage had been seeing. But Jessica obviously did not want to talk about this with him. After saying goodbye, she left in a hurry. The female mage seemed to have other matters to attend to.

But the most sensational thing in Gudilesi recently was the kidnapping case of Morteris. After more than 20 days of investigation and search, this vicious case that shocked the entire South was finally solved by the Guard Force. Among the suspects, the Adeltos, were also immediately arrested.
However, the rescue process was a little awkward. The Guard Force and the city council had been busy for so long, but in the end, they did not find anything substantial. In the end, one night, the old bishop relied on his own strength to escape from his cell. He dragged his weary body and knocked on the gate of the garrison, ending this frightening journey.
Then, the Third Paladin Legion of the Temple of Light also received the news. They sent an extremely luxurious guard team to bring the weary Morteris back to the Paladin Legion's base. This action made it clear that they no longer trusted the security forces of the university town. It also made the city councilors and the garrison very embarrassed, but they could not refute it.
Later, the interrogation of the Adeltos did not go very well. They confessed very quickly. When the aggressive Guard Force broke into the door and pinned them to the ground, some of them even confessed on the spot. Along the way, many people fought to be witnesses, but the content of their confession had nothing to do with the kidnapping of Morteris.
After a simple interrogation, it could be concluded that this was a group of professional human traffickers. Under the guise of running a brewery, they specially recruited girls from poor families to work in the brewery. They picked the prettiest among them and tried to make their families bear an unbearable debt. In the end, they had no choice but to use their bodies to pay the debt. Then, they smuggled these girls by sea and land to various parts of the world like commodities. Because they did not have official identities, their fates were almost always tragic. Even if they died in a foreign land, no one would know.
This brewery had been operating in the city for six or seven years. During this long period, it was unknown how many girls had been murdered. When the garrison caught this group of people, they broke out in a cold sweat. They did not expect such a barbaric and dark organization of slave traffickers to be hidden in the university town, which had always been known for its freedom.
However, when it came to the archbishop's kidnapping, the people of Ardelto were at a loss. The old archbishop had personally admitted that he was imprisoned in this small brewery. With his status, he naturally would not speak carelessly, and as the kidnapped party, there was no need for him to lie for the kidnappers.
After the incident, the Guard Force did indeed find the small room in the brewery where Morteris was imprisoned. It could be seen that the situation at that time was indeed very dangerous. The old archbishop was tied up in a brewing pond, and beside him was a wine cabinet with more than 20 barrels of wine on it. There was also a small mechanism next to the cabinet that someone had set up. Every once in a while, a barrel of wine would be pierced by an iron awl and flow into the brewing pond. At that time, Morteris was lying in there with his hands and feet tied up. Basically, ten barrels of wine in the pond would drown him, and twelve barrels would leave only his nose exposed.
At this time, as long as one more barrel was broken, the old archbishop would basically suffocate to death. But in fact, when Morteris escaped, the 14th barrel had already been pierced, and half of the wine had flowed out. The reason why the old archbishop was still alive was very simple.
It was because he had drunk the excess wine. However, the situation at that time was really dangerous. If the dwarves had found him a little later, even if Morteris had not drowned, he would have been stuffed to death.
After being rescued, the old man behaved very calmly. After explaining some things to the dwarves, he went to the garrison alone to report the case. The old man asked the garrison to help him contact the Third Paladin Regiment and said that the Paladin Regiment was only here to take over his job of protection, and the follow-up investigation would still be handled by the Guard Force.
In fact, Morteris knew very well that the garrison would not be able to find anything. He had already learned from the dwarves that one of the two mages who kidnapped him was the president of the Gudilesi branch of the Magic Association, Dardarion. However, it was useless even if he knew. With the other party's identity, there was no way he could accuse them without substantial evidence. Besides, he had more important things to do here, so he could not care about getting back at them for the time being.
As a result, in order to make up for the mistake they had made before and prove that they were not a bunch of good-for-nothings who spent the taxpayers' money doing nothing, the garrison put in 120% of their effort to carry out the follow-up investigation. However, it was of no use. During the interrogation, the group of Adelto people clearly confessed their ancestors, but no one knew the two mysterious mages, and they all said that they did not know that there was someone else in the room that night.
