In the forest, the girl named Frey was still continuing her training, concentrating her magical power between her hands, and her eyes were closed tightly, completely unaware that someone was hiding around her.
Under such circumstances, in the grass, Ye Ye, Xia Lu, and Sigmund's eyes were focused on Rozen.
"Why are you so sure that the Magi Nibbler won't stop its attack?"
Xia Lu asked this question in confusion. Both Yaya and Sigmund nodded their heads.
In everyone's mind, the so-called Magic Nibbler was a random murderer just like Jack the Ripper. It didn't pick its target at all, and it just did whatever it wanted.
And the last time the Magi Nibbler attacked Rozen, it was defeated by Rozen and was almost caught on the spot. So, it wasn't impossible for the Magi Nibbler to hide its whereabouts.
That being the case, why was Rozen so sure that the Magi Nibbler would appear again?
In fact, the reason was simple.
"Why would the Magi Nibbler hunt down some ordinary students and destroy their puppets when it has the strength of Thirteen?"
Rozen didn't answer and asked such a question instead.
The three people present were startled.
Seeing the three's reaction, Rozen grinned.
"You haven't considered the question of 'motive', have you?"
That's right.
No one ever considered the motive of the Magi Nibbler to randomly kill some students and destroy their puppets.
When people attacked others in the academy, there was a reason to eliminate competitors or make enemies, but the Magi Nibbler only attacked those students who were far weaker than it. It was obvious that the Magi Nibbler didn't want to eliminate competitors or make enemies.
In that case, what was the Magi Nibbler's motive?
"Is it just to enjoy the pleasure of killing?" Rozen shrugged and said, "I don't think so."
If the other party was just a happy murderer, he could have gone outside the academy to kill some unimportant people. There was no need for him to attack the students who came from all over the world with powerful backgrounds. Not only would he have offended so many great powers, he would have also offended the colossus that was the academy.
Unless …
"The enemy has a reason to attack in this academy."
Rozen pointed this out.
So, what was the other party's goal?
"It's simple." Rozen said, "Think about it carefully. What would disappear in every attack?"
This question immediately caught everyone's attention.
"Student!"
Ye Ye replied.
Yes.
Every time the Magic Nibbler attacked, it would cause a student who was a puppeteer to disappear.
However, there was something else that would disappear.
"Could it be the magic circuit of those automatons?"
Sigmund pondered for a moment before giving this answer.
"That's it." Rozen confirmed these two answers and said, "The magic circuits of the students and their puppets will disappear. The former is missing, and the latter is being eaten. This leads to some speculation."
After hearing about the Magic Nibbler's story, Rozen had a lot of speculations.
One of them was the motive of the Magic Nibbler.
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the former disappeared is because the Magic Nibbler hid them."
Rozen explained.
"Disappearance and death are two completely different results. If they disappeared, then the sponsors behind these students will think that they couldn't handle the extremely difficult courses in the academy and ran away. If it's the latter, then those who have the ability to become sponsors, institutions, and even the country's military will intervene and threaten the Magic Nibbler."
In view of this, the other party needed to hide the students, no matter what method they used.
"And the reason why the other party deliberately ate the magic circuit of the mannequin shouldn't be just to satisfy their cravings or to satisfy their curiosity, right?"
Rozen said with a sneer.
"If I'm right, then these magic circuits may be the real purpose of the Magic Nibbler."
Hearing that, Ye Ye, Xia Lu, and Sigmund were all slightly startled.
"The magic circuits are the real purpose of the Magic Nibbler?"
How could this be confirmed?
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
Seeing this, Rozen didn't show the slightest bit of impatience, he just said so.
"Don't you remember the content of the divination just now?"
When such a divination content appeared, people only paid attention to the first part, which was "On a moonless and lightless night, the Demon Eater's Fang Nibbles at the Hound of Pearls."
However, what caught Rozen's attention was the latter part.
Rozen said calmly.
"If we add this to the divination, in addition to the fact that we have already determined the target of the enemy's attack, then the content of the divination will become" On a moonless night, the existence called Magic Nibbler will come out to attack the Pearl Maiden's canine automaton to strengthen itself ", right?"
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed.
Obviously, at this point, everyone already knew what Rozen wanted to express.
"According to the results of the divination, the existence called Magic Nibbler doesn't want to attack the Pearl Maiden, but the Maiden's canine automaton."
"And the reason for the attack is that it can be used to strengthen itself."
"Then, in all the previous attacks, the magic circuits of the automaton will eventually be eaten."
"With all this information added up, it's easy for us to infer, right?"
Rozen's eyes swept across everyone's face one by one.
"This Magic Nibbler has some means to become stronger with the help of the magic circuits."
"What he really wants is not the students, but the magic circuits in the students' automaton."
"Because they can make him or his automaton stronger."
That was Rozen's speculation.
"Then, why is he trying so hard to become stronger?"
Rozen smiled sarcastically.
"In this academy, isn't it to win the night assembly and finally sit on the throne of the Demon King?"
Therefore, before the night assembly began, the Magic Nibbler would not stop attacking.
That was why the Magic Nibbler attacked the students in this academy because there were the most automaton here, and the magic circuits were also the best.
"Everyone thinks that the Magic Nibbler is just a random murderer, but the Magic Nibbler isn't just killing aimlessly in the academy."
Rozen said lightly.
"In the end, the Magic Nibbler is just doing whatever it takes to achieve his goal."
That's it.
Hearing Rozen's words, the three people present had different reactions.
Ye Ye bit her lip, and her face was full of indignation.
Sigmund was silent, and finally sighed.
As for Xia Lu, she clenched her small hand tightly, and her eyes were burning with anger.
"Unforgivable …"
Xia Lu gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.
"Absolutely unforgivable …!"
Everyone heard this sentence clearly.
