"What is this Herr Casa thinking? Why is he still hesitating to work with us under such circumstances? Doesn't he know what's going on?" Headmistress Perry said.
Edith stood beside Headmistress Perry and served her a cup of tea. She did not dare to make a sound.
Headmistress Perry kept pacing back and forth. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Not long after, a student came up and told Edith that dinner was ready. Edith nodded and put away the teacup. She was about to talk to Headmistress Perry when someone suddenly came up to them in a hurry. It was Sheryl, who had been following the group of Casas.
Heidi was Ceylan's student, Edith was Headmistress Perry's student, and Sheryl was Brianca's student. The three of them were relatively strong in the school, and they were also the representatives of the school. Since the Pearl Institute had come as the winner of the World College Tournament, they were in charge of receiving the students and following them around.
"What's wrong now?" Edith asked.
"The young duke … the young duke seems to be sick," Sheryl said in a panic.
"Sick? He grew up close to the Alps. It's not like he's not acclimatized to the environment. Why would he fall sick all of a sudden? "Headmistress Perry panicked.
Trouble kept coming one after another. Herr Casa was in trouble again before they could reach an agreement!
…
Headmistress Perry, Edith, Ceylan, Heidi, and the others immediately went to Herr Casa's room. They saw four henchmen of the Casas guarding the door with hostile looks. They were not letting anyone in, including Headmistress Perry!
"I'm a Healer. Is there a problem if I go take a look?" Ceylan asked.
"Mm, come with me," the henchman in a red outfit said.
The henchman in a red outfit was the strongest henchman of Herr Casa. His cultivation was on par with some of the famous teachers of the Alps Institute.
The man had been standing with the other henchmen. Headmistress Perry had thought he was just an ordinary henchman, but she finally realized that Herr Casa had such a hidden expert by his side when the man showed hostility toward them!
Ceylan entered Herr Casa's room. It was a mess. The expensive decorations were all smashed to pieces. Even Herr Casa's bed was a mess. A woman in her thirties was cleaning the room carefully, not daring to make a sound.
Ceylan glanced at the unconscious Herr Casa. When she noticed the black veins on Herr Casa's neck, she was stunned into silence.
"I've already reported this to the clan. The elders will be here soon. If our young duke is safe, then the Alps Institute will no longer have anything to do with Casa. If anything happens to the young duke, the people of the Alps Institute will be buried with him! "the old man in red said in a harsh tone.
"Who did he come into contact with?" Ceylan asked seriously, ignoring the man's insults.
"Apart from you, no one else," the old man said.
"You were always around him. Why didn't you notice anything?" Ceylan asked.
"What do you mean by that? Are you implying that we would harm our young master?" the old man snapped.
"We would never do something like that. Besides, we still need the young duke's support. There's no need for us to harm him. It's an advanced poison seal and Curse. If you keep being suspicious and don't tell me what happened, I won't be able to find a way to save your young duke," Ceylan said.
"Humph!" The old man harrumphed coldly. His rationality told him that he still needed the Healer's help to ease Herr Casa's pain.
…
Ceylan came out of the room with a stern face.
Headmistress Perry asked impatiently. Ceylan indicated that it was inconvenient to talk here, so they went to the conference room instead.
"What's going on?" Headmistress Perry asked.
"Someone has placed a poison seal and Curse on Herr Casa," Ceylan said.
"How is that possible!?" Headmistress Perry screamed in a broken voice.
"It's very serious, it's going to threaten his life," Ceylan said sternly.
"Ceylan, are you unable to get rid of the poison seal and Curse?" Heidi asked.
Ceylan's Healing Magic was quite advanced. He was also able to get rid of poisons and Curses. A situation like Herr Casa's should not be a problem for him.
"If it's just a poison seal or Curse, it won't be a problem for me. The poison isn't too rare, so there are ways to get rid of it. The problem is, it's a Poison Sealing Curse … I'm using the Curse Magic to seal the poison, and the poison will continue to apply the Curse, "Ceylan said.
"What does that mean?" Headmistress Perry asked with a confused face. She had no idea what Ceylan was talking about.
"It means I have two choices: get rid of the Curse first, or get rid of the poison first," Ceylan said.
"What's the difference?"
"If the order is right, the young duke will be fine. If the order is wrong, the other thing will be a hundred times stronger," Ceylan said.
"A hundred times stronger? Isn't that taking his life? "
Ceylan nodded.
Everyone was astounded. Who would cast such a terrifying Curse on Herr Casa?
"Knock knock knock ~"
Everyone was given a fright when they heard a series of loud noises. They only realized someone was knocking on the door when they collected their thoughts.
What he had just heard was indeed frightening, so much so that he himself had become somewhat tense.
"Miss Brianca, you're finally here … why are you here? Go out, we're discussing something important!" Shirley went up to Brianca at first, but she immediately changed her expression when she saw Mofan standing behind Brianca.
Li Yu 'e had come too. It was as if she did not exist when she did not speak. It was easy to overlook her presence.
"Did something serious happen? Why are you all acting like this?" Mofan asked indifferently when he saw their expressions.
"It's none of your business," Shirley said angrily.
"Let's hear it, I think it might be related to the strange things that happened before." Ceylan went to the door and closed it slowly. She gestured for Mofan and Li Yu 'e to take a seat.
Headmistress Perry was annoyed whenever she saw Mofan. She had turned into a venomous old witch after hearing about the calamity that was about to befall her school.
Ceylan told Brianca about Herr Casa's incident. Brianca and Mofan were astounded.
"Is Herr Casa an idiot? How could a Super Mage put a Curse and poison on someone so easily?" Mofan cursed.
The others agreed with him. The higher their cultivation, the more sensitive they were to things like this. If they were always on alert, how could a deadly Curse and poison hit them so easily?
"The Curse is very impressive. We have to find the person who put the Curse on Herr Casa. Otherwise, I'll never know the sequence of the Curse. Besides, I think it might be related to what happened before," Ceylan said.
"Why? I don't think the two are related? "Edith asked.
"They only have one goal, and that is to destroy the Alps Institute! If Herr Casa dies here, the Casas are going to raze the school to the ground. Even though the school isn't necessarily weaker than them, a great battle is inevitable, "Mofan said.
"You sound like you're gloating when you say that," Shirley said angrily.
"Why would I gloat? I like everyone in the Alps Institute, apart from you, you, and you. I've never hated a group because of a few individuals. Besides, what good will it do me if the school is destroyed? Miss Brianca and I have been searching for the culprit for the past few days. Not only are you not grateful, you're treating me like this too. If Li Yu 'e wasn't my friend, and Miss Brianca wasn't so beautiful and sincere, I wouldn't even care about what you did! "Mofan said.
Headmistress Perry was infuriated. She was about to lose her temper when Ceylan stopped her. She was hinting at her with her eyes that it was not the time to lose her temper. They should focus on solving the problem.
"I already told you, the culprit is holding a great grudge against you. We shouldn't have concealed the truth from the start. We have to deal with the culprit immediately, but you didn't listen. Now that such a troublesome situation has pushed you to the edge of the cliff … forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's talk about the problem first," Mofan said.
"As if you can handle it yourself, humph!" Headmistress Perry let out a hollow laugh.
"I have some clues, but there's something I need to confirm." However, there's something I need to confirm, "Mo Fan looked at Ceylan.
Ceylan was confused. What did he need to confirm, and why was he asking her?
"Miss Ceylan, before you recruited Heidi as your disciple, did you have another female disciple who was determined to become a top Healer and was recognized by the Parthenon? Did you recruit her into the Hall of the Goddess?" Mofan asked sternly.
Ceylan was startled. She had an unnatural look in her eyes.
Headmistress Perry frowned, too.
Edith was infuriated by Mofan's question. She pointed at Mofan and snapped, "Why are you bringing it up? Besides, how did you know? If we knew you had ulterior motives for coming to the Alps Institute, Shirley and I shouldn't have let you in! "
"Edith, let him finish," Ceylan held her breath and stopped Edith.
