Chapter 45: The Ancient Book in the Study
The principal's private room is located in a very special location, this private room was built by the principal on a high platform in a very secluded place, not only is it secluded, but also more than ten meters higher than the high platform. Moreover, the route to reach the private room and the training ground are not the same. The reason why the principal established it this way is to prevent some noble sons from crossing the high platform to disturb him.
But every time the principal comes to the box, he will still bring a few guards to stop some of the small nobles who come to disturb him.
Just as Old Bao left the compartment, Alfa and Bill arrived at the entrance of the compartment, panting. As soon as they took two steps forward, a guard came up to them: "What do you two little guys want to do?"
"Huh? Huh? Sir Knight..."
Alfa took a deep breath and said: "I am Alfa, the son of Count Sak, and this is Bill, the son of Marquis. We are both students of Paul College, and we have come to see the principal..."
"Alright, you all hurry up and leave this place."
Before Alfa could finish speaking, the guard waved his hand impatiently: "I've seen many of your kind who try to curry favor with His Excellency!"
"No, we..."
Bill hastily stepped forward to explain, but as soon as he uttered a word, the captain of the guard raised his long sword and pointed at Bill and the other person, saying in a cold voice: "You two little guys, please leave here quickly. Even if you are the sons of a great nobleman, I will follow the Duke's orders and show no mercy."
*sigh*
Bill couldn't help but let out a sigh and pulled Alpha away: "I knew we wouldn't be able to see the Dean after all."
Alfa didn't respond, and after the two of them had walked a few steps further away, he stared intently at the location of the private room, as if thinking about how to meet Robert.
The guard who had rebuked the two of them stopped asking questions once they left the booth, Bill looked at the guard and urged Alfa somewhat anxiously: "Alfa, what should we do?"
"I am thinking."
Alpha let out a sigh, staring intently at the location of the private room. Suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement, as if he had thought of something. He then suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Director, Lin Feng is in trouble!"
After shouting this sentence, the two of them looked hopefully at the private room, but after waiting for a while, there was still no reaction from inside.
"Director, Lin Feng is in trouble, please save him quickly—"
Since there was no reaction from the first sentence, Bill opened his throat and shouted a sentence.
Inside the private room, there was still no movement.
Just as Alfa was about to shout out the third sentence, a cold voice came from behind the two: "The material of that private room is special. No matter how loudly you shout from this angle, the people inside won't be able to hear it."
Hearing this voice, both Alpha and Beta were startled, immediately turning their heads around. Bill was somewhat puzzled, rushing to the person behind him, "Miss Annie... you?"
"What's with you?" Annie snorted: "You guys hurry up and follow me in..."
After saying this, Annie walked towards the private room without looking back, and there was a clear joy in Alfa's eyes!
Being able to enter the box means that they can see the dean, and with the dean's daughter leading them personally, the guards outside the door naturally dare not obstruct them much. Although neither of them understands why Annie was resolute in her attitude just a moment ago but is now helping herself, both of them still follow closely behind.
"Miss Annie, I'm really sorry about what happened in front of your room earlier..."
Seeing Annie's change in attitude, Alfa couldn't help but apologize to her, but before he could finish speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Annie: "What you said earlier was right, I am jealous of him..."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Alfa was taken aback. He had only said that to provoke Annie a bit, but he hadn't expected her to actually admit it.
"What? Are you surprised?"
Annie stopped in her tracks and let out a cold hum: "But... I won't let Lin Feng die at someone else's hands, even if he dies, it will only be by my hand!!"
After saying that, Annie ignored the two of them and walked towards the private room. Bill couldn't help but glance at Annie's back and a hint of joy appeared on his face as he secretly gave Alpha a thumbs up.
Under Anne's lead, things went smoothly. The guard at the door saw that it was Anne and immediately said: "Miss Anne, I'll go inform the Duke."
"Never mind, let them both come with me too." Annie replied coldly, pushing past the guard and walking towards the door.
The guard saw this, and a bitter expression floated on his face. What could he do? As the daughter of the principal, Annie was unlikely to be trying to curry favor with him. His accusations were merely intended to stop those who were trying to curry favor with the principal.
In the private room, Robert was still listening to the speech of the new students on the high platform. He heard the sound of the door and didn't turn his head back, lightly replied: "Bart brother? Found it?"
"Father, it's me." Annie said softly.
"Oh?" Robert leaned in, his voice low, as he turned to look at the two people who had just stepped into the booth behind Annie. He raised an eyebrow: "Annie, what do you mean by bringing them here?"
"Father, they are two friends of Lin Feng's and live in the same dormitory as him. Since they can't get close to you, that's why they found me." Annie replied calmly, glancing at Alpha with a hint for them to hurry up.
Alfa looked at Annie with gratitude, took two steps forward and bowed: "Hello Dean, I am Alfa, the eldest son of Count Sak, and this is my roommate Bill."
In front of Robert, Alpha didn't reveal Bill's identity.
"What's up with you two looking for me? Do you two know where Lin Feng went?"
Robert had been troubled by Lin Feng's affairs for a long time, and as soon as he saw Alpha and the two of them, and heard Annie's introduction, he naturally associated it with Lin Feng. His whole body, driven by his emotions, also involuntarily leaned towards Alpha.
Alpha's face looked a bit unsightly, and in front of the principal with the power of the sacred domain, he couldn't help but feel an enormous pressure. However, he still bitterly opened his mouth: "Lin Feng... something happened to him!"
"What's wrong?" Robert was startled in his heart, but remained calm on his face: "What's wrong?"
"It's like this..."
At once, Alfa told Robert what happened after Annie left the dining room, and added at the end: "Obviously, Mark must have used some kind of evil magic to control Lin Feng, otherwise, Lin Feng would have said something to us three no matter where he went!"
"Alright, I understand, don't worry, I will definitely bring Lin Feng back to you safe and sound."
Robert's voice was calm and emotionless. He waved his hand, saying, "You all go to the training ground. Annie, you too."
Upon hearing this, the two Alphas finally put their minds at ease. With Director Robert's guarantee, they themselves didn't have to go out and tail Lin Feng. Immediately, after bidding farewell to Robert, the two followed Annie out of the private room.
At this time, in the private room, only Robert was left. He slowly stood up, his face still calm...
In the dormitory of Lin Feng and his three friends, Old Bart walked out of the room with a somewhat gloomy face and quickly ran towards the direction of the package. Because just now, he had already learned about Lin Feng's whereabouts from Ma Li's mouth, and now, he wanted to report Lin Feng's news to Robert in the first place without any change.
But just as Old Barte had taken a few steps back, the principal's voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "Barte, I already know what happened. Now go directly to Carson's place. With your skills, hardly anyone should be able to detect you. If you're careful enough, probably no one will find out about you either. Remember... no matter what happens, never reveal your true identity!"
As soon as he heard this voice in his mind, Old Bater didn't feel any surprise. The expression on his face relaxed and he immediately turned around and rushed towards the gate of the courtyard...
At this moment, in the private room, Robert let out a light sigh, but his face flashed with a hint of ferocity: "Hmph, Carson... relying on the backing of the Radiant Church's power, you dare to stretch your hand into my territory..."
In the study of the Marquis's mansion, at this moment, Lin Feng was still holding a dagger and trying to pry out an ornamental gemstone from the corner of a bookshelf. Suddenly, Lin Feng was attracted by a book placed in the corner.
He furrowed his brow, then put away the dagger and picked up the book that had been placed in the corner.
This book has been placed in the corner for many years, although every day there are maids coming to wipe it, but the cover of the book has turned yellow, and although there is not a speck of dust, the text on the cover has become somewhat blurred due to long-term accumulation.
Although Lin Feng's identity was that of a bastard child, he was still the son of a marquis after all. When he was young, the old butler, Xi Li, at his hometown didn't dare to bully him too much. Therefore, Lin Feng had also received an education in literacy. However, as time passed, the marquis never asked about Lin Feng and his mother's situation again, and it wasn't until then that Butler Xi Li drove the two of them out of their old home.
Although the words on the cover were a bit blurry, Lin Feng still recognized them at a glance!
"What's 'Ming Mai'?"
Lin Feng muttered in confusion, he was about to open the book and study it, when suddenly the voice of the guard standing outside the door sounded: "Your Excellency, Marquis."
