Master Tongtian

Chapter 42 Tap the ruler lightly on the head

There is no real ideal land in the world, and the Silver Moon Castle of Great Moon Magician is not peaceful either.

On the way back to the Chengnan Market, Rosen kept thinking about his experiences in the past two weeks and sighed secretly.

"I wanted to ignore what was going on outside the window and concentrate on my magic, but the trees wanted to be quiet, but the wind didn't stop."

Just like in the previous life, I originally wanted to concentrate on scientific research, but due to changes in my family, I had no choice but to put aside what I loved and go into business.

In this life, he will never give up the pursuit of magic, but he still has to make some changes.

"Return to your studies, but don't forget the world."

"There's something weird about the mentor thing. I have to study it carefully."

This time, the focus of his thinking was completely separated from the spell, and he was completely focused on the murder in the south of the city.

On the way back, he thought about it over and over in his mind.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Rosen returned to the Chengnan Market.

The chaos in the bazaar has mostly subsided, but there is still some residual excitement that has not dissipated.

Around the market square, many shops are open, and shop owners stand in front of their shops, gathering together in twos and threes to chat.

"These days are getting harder and harder. The taxes I have to pay are increasing. I have been losing money for three months in a row!"

"Who says it's not the case? They all say there's going to be a war, but we've been calling for it for more than a year, and yet we haven't heard any news about a war."

"I see, those bastards at City Hall are just trying to take money out of our pockets!"

"Hey, don't say it anymore, be careful of those scoundrels listening to you."

Rosen walked all the way and found that most of the shop owners were not discussing the murderer, but their own business.

These days, he stayed at the Chengnan Market, doing portraits and making large purchases, and became familiar with many shop owners.

He thought that he might be able to glean some information about Thrandis from the mouths of these neighbors.

With this in mind, he looked around and soon saw a tall, strong man wearing an emerald green round hat and a green robe. He was the owner of the 'Silver Shine' tableware store, named La Spring.

I heard that this guy is a master of love affairs. There are countless women in the market who maintain ambiguous relationships with him, and most of them are married women.

Thrandis is young and beautiful, and every man will pay extra attention to her.

Rasplin must have paid close attention to it, and most likely also secretly investigated Thrandis's background.

As his thoughts raced, Rosen had already walked up to La Spring, with a hint of 'anxiety' on his face.

"My God, Mr. Rasplin, it's so good to see you here."

Rasplin looked at Rosen for a moment and recognized his identity.

This kid came to the store last week and bought a set of fine silverware. He still remembered it very well.

"Ah~~~You are that, that Ann, oh no, Miss Thrandis's new apprentice, right?"

"Yes, I am."

"Hey~ I heard about your mentor. It's such a pity."

"I didn't expect that she would be so eager for a man. If I had known this earlier, I should have coughed~~ Child, what can I do to you?"

Rosen ignored this guy's assumptions and got two pieces of information from his words.

First, in the past, the mentor had kept himself clean and the relationship between men and women was so clean that even Lasplin, a master in love, could not find any gaps.

Second, the fact that the mentor is a murderer has spread throughout the market.

The news spread incredibly quickly.

Rosen's face became even more anxious: "Mr. Lasplin, how do you know that my mentor is a murderer?"

"Don't you know yet? Sheriff Mr. Rafale just brought a large number of people to Miss Thrandis's residence, saying they were searching for evidence."

"I heard that it was because that guy from Chabolai saw the murderer's face clearly, and it was none other than Miss Thrandis."

The answer was not from La Spring, but from Mr. Le Verrier, the owner of the nearby Le Verrier Clothing Store.

His face was full of gloating.

Rosen understood, and he looked 'shocked'.

"I have just become Miss Thrandis's apprentice not long ago, and I know almost nothing about her character. But I still can't believe that such a young and beautiful person can become a cruel murderer."

Mr. Le Verrier's face was as round as a pig's butt, and his garlic-like nose was tightly wrinkled. His face was originally very rich, but it showed a strong acerbity.

"What's so surprising about this? It's natural for a solitary female mage to do whatever bad things she does."

Before Rosen could speak, Lasplin had already opened his mouth to retort.

"Leverrier, your words are too harsh. As far as I know, although Miss Thrandis is a bit withdrawn, she is kind and polite, and treats others with dignity and grace."

"If you ask me, this is most likely a misunderstanding."

M. Leverrier's sneer grew even louder.

"Come on, Rasplin, I don't know your virtue? You can't take your eyes away when you see a beautiful girl. If you can't control your own romantic wife, you go to harm other people's wives."

"Let me tell you, the reason why you are alive today and did not die on a woman's belly is all because of the mercy of the Golden God!"

Rasplin was angry too.

"Leverrier, do you think you are a good product? Last month Thrandis came to you to buy clothes, but you didn't keep the door open. As a result, you couldn't speak for ten days. You only said that you had a sore throat, but in fact you were under the silence spell. Bar!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Le Verrier was instantly furious.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Rosen quickly smoothed things over.

"Two gentlemen, it is very unseemly to quarrel in the street."

After saying this, the two people who were about to fight stopped and just glared at each other.

Le Verrier hated Thrandis, and he would definitely not be able to ask anything.

So Rosen looked to LaSpring.

"Let's talk in another place, okay?"

"my pleasure!"

Rasplin looked at Leverrier with contempt, turned around and walked to the other end of the yard.

Rosen asked after standing still.

"Mr. Lasplin, I would like to know how long has my mentor been settling in the market? Has there been any abnormal behavior all this time?"

After saying that, seeing Rasplin's expression of confusion, he hurriedly explained.

"Although I have just become Miss Thrandis's apprentice not long ago, she is my mentor after all. As an apprentice, I think this may be a frame-up. So..."

Raspling suddenly understood: "Child, I can understand how you feel. In fact, I have similar thoughts to you and believe that Miss Thrandis is innocent."

He began to remember seriously.

"Miss Thrandis has lived in the market for about 2 years. No, it's 2 years, 1 month and 18 days. Most of the time, she stayed at home and rarely went out."

"But it is impossible for a person to be completely isolated from the outside world, so every few days, she will leave the hut and come to the market to fetch water, buy food and daily necessities."

As he spoke, the curves on Lasplin's face became gentler and gentler.

"Miss Thrandis is so beautiful. Whenever she comes to the market, she immediately becomes the focus of everyone's attention."

"Her every smile touches everyone's heart. I believe that as long as she touches someone, such as me, then I will do my best to serve her."

"Cough~cough~~"

Rosen coughed a few times and interrupted the guy's fantasy: "So, what's the abnormal behavior of my mentor?"

"Abnormal?"

Rasplin thought for a moment and said: "She usually comes to the market in the morning to buy supplies. She is dignified and polite, with a rare smile on her face. Oh, that's right!"

He suddenly slapped his forehead hard and said a message.

"Twenty days ago, a very handsome man came to the market, named Ouchok. He once had a dispute with Miss Thrandis."

"dispute?"

"Yes. That pretty boy tried to talk to Miss Thrandis. Every man knows that this guy is just looking for sex."

"Miss Thrandis naturally saw through his intentions at a glance and decisively rejected him."

"However, that hateful pretty boy kept stalking her and even tried to grab Miss Thrandis's arm."

"Oh, that guy was so bold, but he paid the price for his boldness."

"Our beautiful Miss Thrandis is not a weak woman, she is a powerful mage.

"I saw a flash of light on her body, and Olek was sent flying several meters away, and fell onto the mud of the market with a thud. Hahaha~~~ It was so happy!"

It was obvious that Lasplin was a talker. As soon as he started talking, the follow-up was as out of control as the flood.

Rosen already got what he wanted.

Seeing that Rasplin was about to fall into fantasy again, he hurriedly said: "Thank you very much for the information you provided. Goodbye, Mr. Rasplin."

He turned around and ran away as fast as he could, heading towards the entrance of Alley No. 1.

While running, various thoughts were still coming and going in his mind.

Suddenly, an electric light flashed in his heart, holding his body firmly in place.

'The tutor is withdrawn and has almost no friends. I am her only apprentice. ’

‘I can feel that she values ​​me very much! ’

'But we hadn't been together long enough for me to really get to know her. Likewise, she doesn’t really understand me! "

"The mentor is indeed very powerful, but she is not a god, she is just a mid-level mage, and she is just a young girl in her early 20s."

For a long time, because of the power of magic, I subconsciously thought that the mentor was omnipotent in other aspects.

But obviously, this is a huge illusion.

After all kinds of thoughts come together, it is logical to come to the next conclusion.

"The power of my missiles has reached the intermediate level, and it is an extraordinary version that can fly silently. It is also an unexpected aid, which must be far beyond her expectation.

"It's human nature to be extremely surprised and subconsciously look back."

"My mentor valued me. After finding out it was me, he must have been worried that I would also misunderstand her as the murderer."

"So, what she said didn't actually have any profound meaning. She was just defending herself and hoping that I could believe her innocence."

Thinking of this, Rosen couldn't help but pat his forehead.

"Teacher, mentor, I already knew you were innocent."

Following this train of thought, he continued to think.

"My mentor values ​​me and doesn't want me to misunderstand her."

"But simply not misunderstanding will not help the situation at all. Only by finding the real culprit can we truly help the mentor to clear his grievances."

"So, although this matter is very dangerous, it is also a rare opportunity. An opportunity for our master and disciple to truly understand each other deeply."

These things are a bit like Patriarch Bodhi hitting the monkey on the head with a ruler. You have to rely on yourself to realize it.

If you don't realize it, then you will be a disciple of Shoushan for the rest of your life and learn some common skills that are insignificant and that everyone can do.

If you realize it, you may get the true message!

What is the true story of Thrandis?

Rosen didn't know, but the inhuman spellcasting ability of at least 20 lines was enough to make people endlessly yearn for it.

The book says that high-level mages are generally at level 12, archmages are generally at level 18, but the mentor, a mid-level mage, is above level 20. This shows that there must be a mystery.

In the dark night, standing on the smelly and muddy streets of the south city market, Rosen was no longer confused.

"Teacher, next, I will try my best to help you clear up your grievances. I also hope that my performance will satisfy you."

During the Chinese New Year, I was constantly using my mobile phone to review manuscripts, and I was often interrupted by others, which clearly felt like something was wrong.

It's back to normal today, using the computer.

Continuing with three updates today.
