Chapter 26: developments
The lessons of the children's class do not involve the practice of magic.
Because the third hands of young wizards, like their bodies, are in a growing state.
It stops when you are about fourteen or fifteen years old.
During the duration of this process, it is not suitable for it to be under pressure, and naturally it is not possible to practice magic frequently.
Therefore, the wizard children will only learn some relevant knowledge during this period.
For example, the identification of herbs and extraordinary items, the principle and character sequence of enchantment, the history of magic, the preparation method of basic potions, etc.
Lily Corzia was already familiar with these things, but because she was young, she could never graduate from the children's class.
Therefore, she had not paid attention to what the tutor had to say for quite some time.
Today is no exception.
Sitting in a classroom chair early in the morning, she opened her eyes and started her sleep-replenishing behavior—
Sleeping with her eyes open is a skill she has finally practiced, and the little friends next to her are very envious of it.
But considering that there are too many people in the meeting, the tutor may find something wrong, so Lily never teaches this secret skill to the outside world.
As for why it is necessary to make up for sleep just after getting up in the morning, I have to mention an author named "Iluvita".
Iluvatar is not a wizard, but his books are popular in the wizarding world.
Especially in some groups of wizard kids.
Because compared to other authors in similar fields, Iluvita's books are always imaginative and in line with the imagination of wizard children—
Other authors don't have this kind of ability. Limited by the lack of perspective and thinking of ordinary people, their books always seem to be of little interest.
Lily has read Iluvita's books since she was a child. Among his books, her favorite is a fantasy story called "The Kingdom of Ants".
The content of this book describes the adventure of a young boy who shrank his body and accidentally broke into the ant nest, avoiding the ant soldiers while looking for the ant witch to find the potion of growth.
The story is wonderful, especially the process of the little boy's temperament changing from cowardly to very brave step by step.
Even the president's grandfather is full of praise for this, and he also said that it is entertaining and educational. After reading this book, children can not only strengthen their beliefs, but also have a sense of the division of labor and habits of such a tiny biological group as ants. Fully understanding, the author is a very thoughtful person.
That's not wrong, at least when Lily read this book, she dug several ant nests in a row, and aroused great curiosity about these little guys who hadn't noticed in the past.
It's a pity that the ants in reality are not as interesting as the description in the book. After a while, she lost interest.
But it is said that in that year, the back gardens of many wizard families were pitted after another, which was dubbed by some people as the mass extinction of the ant tribe.
However, last night, Lily didn't read her favorite book overnight, but a book called "Animal Farm".
She didn't like this book very much, and always felt that it was a little less interesting, but this book was published by the author at the beginning of this year, and he mentioned his new book plan at the end-
Lily turned out the book originally because she wanted to confirm how long it was before Iluvita's new book was published.
As a result, I was bored and read this book again.
"Pigs are indeed the ugliest animals in the world."
This idea is all in her head now.
As for anything else? She didn't think much about it.
"Lily, come out."
Just as the little girl was thinking about some messes in her mind, a serious voice suddenly came from the door of the classroom.
This startled her, and she thought her secret art of sleeping with her eyes open was finally discovered!
But looking back, she was relieved.
Because the person who came was not the tutor in charge of the teaching task of the children's class, but a middle-aged bald man named Victor.
Although the bald man is a vice president and belongs to the highest-level management staff of the Half-Blood Association in Graham City, he does not care about the children's usual discipline issues.
"What are you looking for from me?"
Leaving the classroom yawning, Lily asked with a bored look.
Could it be that he was found out about stuffing a mouse in that nasty cook girl's underwear a few days ago?
"It was about Peter's boy last night."
The bald man Victor didn't beat around the bush, but asked directly, "I heard that they went to trouble Martin. Did you instruct them?"
"What about Peter?"
The girl pretended to be stupid and asked, "I don't know?"
"Don't try to fool the past, this is a serious matter!"
Vice President Victor said sternly: "Answer the question honestly. If I find out that you lied, I will ask you to copy all the basic items of fern herbs!"
Lily was taken aback when she heard the words.
Although he is not familiar with this bald man, he usually looks cheerful, but he rarely has such an attitude.
So after hesitating for a while, she said, "Well, because I hate that little round face, I want to teach him a lesson."
"Martin just joined the association yesterday, why do you hate him?"
"His room is the usual gathering place for a few of our good friends, but as soon as he came, he occupied the room."
Lily lied without blinking, "You said, such a disgusting thing happened, can I not hate him."
"real?"
"real."
"Not under the orders of others?"
In fact, there are, but if people are confessed, Lily feels that she will not want the 300 grams of ghost dust.
So she lowered her head with shame, "If this is a disaster, then you punish me, I am willing to be punished."
The bald Victor didn't say anything, just looked at the girl with a serious expression.
It wasn't until he found that the girl's expression of shame became stronger and stronger, and his tense face relaxed a little.
"Looks like a coincidence..."
"What did you say?" the girl asked softly.
She actually couldn't understand it.
After all, what can be serious about finding a new guy?
Has she done this before?
As for letting a dignified vice-chairman come to ask this little child in person?
"It's nothing, go back and continue to study, don't think too much."
Victor replied perfunctorily, then turned and hurried away.
It looks like this is complicated...
The girl saw this thoughtfully.
So, what the **** is that guy named Iger doing?
Lily became more and more curious about this.
Last night, she discovered that this matter seemed a little wrong, but Iger's explanation was quite reasonable, so she didn't think much about it.
But now it seems that that explanation is obviously deceiving people!
Last night, something must have happened that she didn't understand!
So when the class was over, the little girl walked around in and out of the apartment with her hands behind her back.
After a while, she learned more information.
For example, the little round face of the air bag last night disappeared early this morning.
Also in the morning before dawn, Charlie was suddenly taken away.
Not long ago, some young wizards who had close contact with Charlie were also taken away, and they didn't know where they went.
Everyone was talking about it, and the atmosphere in the entire apartment building was very tense.
Everything can prove that what Iger encouraged him to do last night must involve a more complicated "conspiracy".
"I heard that Lord President has rushed to Graham's side."
When passing by an enchanting classroom, Lily heard two tutors whispering.
"Charlie's gang is crazy, they want to use the child's life to frame the Chelsea family..."
"Don't talk nonsense, this matter is not determined yet!"
"What else do you need to be sure about? Those arrested are not dead men. Someone has already recruited all their plans..."
Use the life of a child to frame others?
Lily was stunned when she heard the words, and listened carefully with her ears pricked up, but she didn't get any more information.
Obviously, these people don't know what the specific situation is.
But this made Lily vaguely guess something.
So she decided to go to the second floor to find that Iger, ready to ask what happened.
As a result, no one was seen at all.
"What's wrong with the newcomers now? It's only the second day after joining, one is more mysterious than the other..."
Lily muttered as if complaining, and simply sat down on the four-poster bed in Mellen's bedroom and waited.
She is not a girl who will give up halfway, so she decides to wait here and never go back until she finds out about it.
However, after waiting for most of the afternoon, her hungry stomach growled, and she almost fainted!
Unfortunately, in the end, she didn't wait for that Iger, but instead saw a blond-haired guy who called himself Kevin Phoenix and said he was visiting Iger on something.
Lily was not familiar with this name, but he seemed to be a big man. Once he arrived, even the accounting lady, who was rarely seen, ran out to watch him.
The vice-chairman Victor I met in the morning came to receive him personally, his tone was very polite, and he even seemed a little flattered.
Hearing that Kevin was going to invite Iger to a banquet, the vice-chairman agreed very happily, as if he was Iger himself.
The other onlookers didn't see anything strange about this, but they all looked envious.
What kind of honor might this be?
However, Lily felt that it was not appropriate for the vice president to make decisions for others rashly. It was hard to say what kind of good person he would be with the smirk on Kevin's face.
In other words, in her cognition, pure-blood wizards don't seem to have a good person.
So while no one was paying attention, Lily simply slipped out.
She was going to intercept Hu Aig on the street and give him a warning.
Although she was angry that the guy made her wait for a long time, relatively speaking, she still felt that it was more important to remind him than to be angry.
It's a big deal to let Iger pay him interest afterwards?
Shouldn't there be interest on all the money you owe?
Lily thought it was reasonable.
So the little girl just squatted on the street for more than half an hour.
Seeing that the sun had gone west, Lily saw Iger's figure.
At this time, he was sitting in a hired carriage, his head lowered as if he was writing something, and his expression was absent-minded.
