Chapter 61 Explanation
Chapter 61 Explanation
Dorothy, who was in the car with the crowd, suddenly felt her body being pulled by an invisible force.
She felt a pang of panic.
Then Leon's voice rang out from behind.
Dorothy immediately realized who had captured her.
She was slowly pulled to Leon's side by the force of the grab.
Lyon merely glanced at Dorothy, while verbally directing the apprentices to calm down and prevent further casualties due to panic.
In just a short while, the chaotic and panicked scene was brought under control.
At this time, the patrol teams outside were also slowly surrounding the area, keeping watch over the entire apprentice living area and preventing anyone from leaving.
Before the patrol team could completely surround the area, Leon led Dorothy out.
"Phew~"
While Dorothy wasn't looking, Leon had already lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled.
"What are you doing here so late?"
Lyon's tone was somewhat serious.
Dorothy was actually at the scene of the explosion.
Seeing this, Lyon felt a chill run down his spine.
If something happens, how will he explain it to his sister?
"..." Dorothy was silent for a moment.
In just a short while, Lyon's face showed impatience.
However, Dorothy's silence was merely a way of organizing her thoughts, which she had already completed by this point.
"When I came back today, I saw Kane had left, and I guessed that you were the ones who called him away."
Leon raised an eyebrow upon hearing Dorothy's words. "So, you're just going to wait here for him to come back?"
Dorothy nodded.
"He finally returned just before evening. And then I made a new discovery."
Leon did not interrupt Dorothy and waited for her to finish speaking.
Dorothy pointed to the flames in the distance, which were being extinguished by water and ice magic, and said, "Not long after Kane returned, a figure appeared near his house. I couldn't see what he looked like, but he did something around Kane's house, and this explosion happened after he left."
Lyon rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.
"Okay, I understand. You should go back now. Leonce and Elor are worried about you not being home so late."
Lyon urged Dorothy to hurry up and leave.
Dorothy didn't waste any words and simply left.
Although she really wanted to stay and see what else she could discover, she knew she shouldn't stay there any longer.
"Mr. Leon, if anything happens afterward, please let me know."
Dorothy gazed calmly at Leon.
Leon frowned and looked down at Dorothy.
He didn't want Dorothy to continue getting involved in this matter.
But he also knew that if he refused, Dorothy would definitely investigate alone, just like she did this afternoon.
Moreover, he also knew that Dorothy's actions were motivated by Elor.
So he could only wave his hand impatiently and say, "Alright, I know, hurry up and go."
This time, Dorothy smiled when Lyon tried to drive her away.
She ran off into the distance.
"Thanks, Professor Leon."
Leon looked at Dorothy in the distance with a hint of helplessness. "Sigh, that little one."
"But, a mysterious figure...?"
Moreover, the bomb was planted after Kane returned.
Lyon's face instantly darkened; he realized there might be a mole within the organization.
Moreover, the mole was someone who knew Kane's movements.
Several faces flashed through Leon's mind instantly.
Kane was summoned away by the Magic Guild this afternoon.
"Heave-ho!"
He took another drag of his cigarette and exhaled softly.
"This cigarette tastes a bit bitter."
Lyon turned and went to join the other teachers.
Elor's house is some distance from where Kane lives.
Since Elor usually attends classes at the Alchemy Tower, his residence is naturally closer to the Alchemy Tower.
Kane, on the other hand, had always majored in elemental magic, and he lived closer to the elemental magic tower.
This ensured that the area where Elor lived was unaffected.
However, the loud explosion also attracted the attention of the apprentices on the side.
However, the teachers in the City of Apprentices acted quickly, preventing the apprentices from easily getting in and joining the fun, thus suppressing their curiosity.
At this moment, Elor was standing in the living room, spinning around and rubbing his palms together.
Leonse sat on the sofa, watching Elor spinning around in circles, and said softly:
"Stop spinning it. If you keep spinning it, you'll wear the carpet out."
Elor's face was full of worry.
"But Dorothy still hasn't come back..."
Leonce shook her head slightly.
"I know, but you can't leave. It's chaotic and dangerous outside."
Elor didn't rush out to find Dorothy because Leon stopped her.
Elor turned around again, and finally shook his head.
She resolutely raised her head. "No, I'm going to find Dorothy!"
"You..." Upon hearing this, Leonse stood up instantly.
"Lily, you don't need to stop me. You know that once I've made a decision, no one can change it."
After saying this, Elor reached out and pushed open the door.
"..."
Then she saw Dorothy holding the key, ready to open the door.
He wore a filthy magic robe, and his once fair face was covered in grime.
Dorothy's lips twitched; Elor and Lyons didn't look like they had slept at all.
Rather, with all the noise outside, even if someone was asleep, they would probably be woken up by that explosion.
So Dorothy could only force a smile and say stiffly in a low voice, "Hi, good morning, still awake..."
Dorothy held her hand in mid-air when Elor suddenly pulled her into his arms.
"Why did you go out? And why are you coming back so late? There was just an explosion outside!"
After asking three questions in a row, Elor gripped Dorothy's shoulders with both hands and looked down to meet her gaze.
Dorothy instinctively turned her head away; Elor's eyes were so sharp that they made her feel a little guilty.
"Well, actually I ate too much for dinner, so I just took a walk outside."
"..."
I didn't hear Elor's voice.
But Dorothy could feel the hand gripping her shoulder slowly tightening.
Dorothy had no choice but to raise her hands.
"Okay, okay, I surrender."
"Because the Ryan family sent you a message, I'm thinking of quickly calming things down in Apprentice City."
After saying this, Dorothy turned to look at Elor.
Elor's eyes reddened slightly, and her gaze held a hint of astonishment.
She hadn't expected that Dorothy's departure was because of her.
"I……"
At this moment, all the anxiety and blame could not be expressed.
Taking advantage of Elor's complicated emotions, Dorothy stepped forward and closed the door.
He took Elor's hand and led her to the sofa.
Leonce moved aside to make room for the two of them to sit down.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Leon, but I didn't want you to be taken away by the Ryan family, so I went to see Teacher Leon after that day."
Dorothy told the story of what she had done, half-truthfully and half-falsely.
Of course, most of the blame will definitely fall on Lyon.
Moreover, her words were vague. Even when Leon and Ellor went to Leon to reconcile the accounts, it was Leon who ultimately helped to corroborate that Dorothy's words at that moment were true and that she was not lying.
