Merlin's last answer was also beyond Lolo's expectations. According to Mother Teresa, the people from the Temple had come to her and tried to get her to bring something into the castle. The final cause of Eluria's death was a cold. Obviously, this was just a superficial explanation. However, there were no obvious signs of injury on her body, so poisoning became the most likely method.
However, Merlin's statement completely ruled out this possibility. At the same time, he also said that it would be difficult for outsiders to sneak into the Bretton family's territory. In that case, the cause of Eluria's death became even more mysterious.
Lolo frowned. "I don't understand. If that's the case, who killed my mother?"
"Unfortunately, I've answered your three questions. I've fulfilled my promise according to the agreement. Now, it's time for the banquet."
The girl knew that she would not be able to get any more information from Merlin. However, she had gotten enough information tonight. She needed some time to digest it and was no longer in the mood to attend the banquet. She stood up and said, "Thank you, senior. We won't bother you anymore."
"Tsk tsk, you're really decisive. But aren't you afraid that your friend will be sad if you leave just like that?" Merlin swirled the ice wine in his glass. As soon as he finished speaking, the banquet hall's door was pushed open.
Simon, Genie, and Genie walked in from outside. Genie mumbled as he walked, "Hey, that's not right. The last time I came to this restaurant, the decorations weren't like this. Huh? Really? Lolo, Rob, why are you here? "
Genie was shocked when he saw the two of them, but he immediately showed a hint of joy. "What happened to you two? Weren't you two participating in the Student Council election a few days ago? Why did you two suddenly leave school? Where have you been missing for so many days? What a pity, both of you could have become cadres with your grades."
"We had something to attend to and left in a hurry, so we didn't have time to inform you," Lolo said apologetically.
"What a pity. Not only did you two lose the opportunity to become cadres, but you also missed a lot of important events. Speaking of which, do you know who the next Student Council President is?" Genie asked mysteriously.
"Simon?" Rob asked.
"F * ck, are you kidding me? How could you guess that?" Gage's eyes widened. "Did you hide in school?"
This outcome was not hard to predict. There were many experts among Siamus's batch of freshmen, but apart from Rob and Jenny who switched souls, no one was a match for the next patriarch of the Grady family. As long as Simon performed steadily, there would be no suspense for the position of student council president.
This year's student council election was more exciting than any of the previous ones, but the final result was still that the Magician Faculty took the lead, taking nine out of the ten seats. The only seat they didn't get was because Luo Luo had given up halfway. The girl was originally the one with the best results other than Simon, so it was a pity that her results were disqualified at the last moment. However, what was more exciting was the Swordsman Faculty. They thought that after so many years, they would finally be able to break the monopoly of the Magician Faculty, but they didn't expect Luo Bu to suddenly disappear, and the remaining seat was taken by the Thief Faculty.
When Genie mentioned these things, Lolo felt as if it was a lifetime ago. She knew that her studying life in Siamus was over. Although she was only taking a break from school and not quitting, it would be difficult for her to return if nothing unexpected happened.
Genie obviously did not know that the two of them were about to leave Gudilesi. He asked excitedly, "Are you the ones who gave us the coupons to come here to participate in the free food tasting?"
Lolo shook her head. "We're guests tonight too."
Only then did Genie notice Merlin who was sitting at the table. The latter was looking at them with interest with his chin in his hand.
At this point, Lolo finally knew who the other three guests Merlin invited tonight were. This way, including them, all six seats were occupied. When everyone was seated, Merlin tapped his cup with a spoon. "Very well. Since all the guests are here, I announce the start of tonight's banquet. Please enjoy the food and wine here to your heart's content. Don't worry, I mean you no harm. Even if you get drunk, I'll arrange for someone to send you back."
Luo Luo was still worried that the fox masked man had an ulterior motive for gathering everyone here tonight. However, just as he said, Merlin did not mention anything else. Moreover, he quietly left halfway through the banquet, leaving the banquet to the five of them who had just reunited.
Lolo was still hesitating on how to say that she was going to drop out of school, but Genie had already spoken first. "When do you plan to leave Gudilesi?"
"Leave?" Genie was startled. "Oh, are you talking about the holidays? Are you going on a trip?"
"No, I still have some things to deal with, so I can't stay in school any longer. I'm very happy to meet you guys here. If my matters are resolved in the future, I'll definitely come back to find you guys." The girl took this opportunity to finally say what she wanted to say.
"Is it related to the temple?" Genie's next words stunned everyone. "Don't be surprised. So many things have happened in Gudilesi recently, and some people in school know that we're close. Some sneaky guys have asked me about you. If I still can't guess who you are, I'd be too slow." Fatso paused and could not help but ask curiously, "Is there really a conflict between the Bretton Family and the temple?"
"Yes." Lolo did not hide it. "My mother's death is probably related to them."
Genie was surprised. "What are you going to do then?"
"We've found some clues, and we'll continue to investigate," Genie said.
"We're friends. If you need any help, just let us know. My family has some influence here. Although we can't fight the temple head-on, we can still find a ship to send you away."
Fatso thought for a moment and took out a purple gem from his pocket. "I can't help you in the south, but if you run into any trouble in the north, you can take this gem to Siathos Chamber of Commerce."
"Siathos Chamber of Commerce?" Rob was a little surprised. Siathos Chamber of Commerce was the second largest chamber of commerce in the Dawn Continent after the Haifa Chamber of Commerce. However, they were mainly active in the north and the dwarven world. Your Honor, the future supreme magus, did not expect Genie to be connected to this chamber of commerce.
Fatso waved his hand. "Ah, don't think too much. My family is just a little richer than the average person. I just happen to know a … uh, friend of Siathos. He gave me this gem, but I can't use it. If only I could help you."
