244 Chapter 244
Many guards were rushing towards the Caesar University district, and as soon as they heard the noise, they rushed over to try to catch the killer first.
It was not that these guards weren't afraid of death; the guards of the capital are unlike those of other cities.
Each area of the capital guard was responsible for maintaining law and order, and the senior captain was required to be a class A professional. If there was an emergency, the captain could call the right departments right away to get more individuals to help with the situation.
So it was impossible to make too much noise here if it was just an A-class professional.
Zavier fled to a small alley, where the surroundings are filthy and stinky.
A few figures lay in the depths of the alley; his gaze swept over a few people and found others all over the dirty smell, putting his mind at ease.
It was just a few homeless people.
He turned around and walked in the direction of Caesar University after walking through the alley to another street and making sure the professor was not following him.
He wanted to figure out who was the enemy and who was the friend and then searched for a location with a clear view.
He looked far towards Caesar's College, but due to the distance, it was difficult to see some, and he could only see that the surrounding boundaries had completely vanished.
The battle was fierce, and the ancient and stately buildings could be seen turning to dust and collapsing downward from time to time.
Even the Niccolo Library, the lifeblood of the colleges, had dropped by at least a tenth.
Zavier shook his head, as if something big was about to happen this time.
He was only concerned with one thing at the moment. Where had all the school's professors went?
If it was because some power had moved all of the school's principal and professors away from the college, he would be able to figure out which power was behind the two waves of killers, or one of them.
At this point, more and more people were rushing towards Caesar University on the roadside.
The battle in the school district was quickly coming to an end, and Zavier could no longer sense any magical fluctuations.
When he saw this, he followed the large group to Caesar University.
But when he arrived at the school, he was stopped by the guards, who said, "Uninvolved ones stay away."
"I'm a student at this school, there was a killer chasing me just now, I was a little afraid to meet the killer again in the city, and I saw a lot of people coming, so I followed back." Zavier said hurriedly.
After hearing this, the guard shot a wink at his companion and attempted to arrest him directly.
"Everything I said is true, and my uncle is the Marquis of Val, and I represent the Adam family," Zavier said coldly.
"Sorry, sorry, but there was a demon inside just now, and according to the rules, all relevant people need to be cleared and quarantined by the Holy See," the guard who scowled said hurriedly, taking a step backwards somewhat awkwardly.
Zavier gave a nod: "I won't argue with you, but I need to wait until the family arrives before I can help with the investigation. I'm sorry, but I can't trust anyone right now."
Zavier was holding his black cane and appeared extremely polite.
The two guards were relieved by this courtesy.
"Of course."
"I didn't see any demons when I was being chased, can you tell us what's going on?" Zavier asked, seeing the two guards give in.
"I heard that Devil Worker used ritual magic to link up with hell and called in demons to possess them," said the one who scowled and wanted to make a direct arrest.
"I heard at least three captains were injured, and the danger level is between S- and SS-rank."
The danger level was actually the professional's level. Because of the various sealed artifacts, treasures, and so on, it was impossible to determine whether the person was S- or SS-level strength, but this simple and brutal grading made it easier to know the level of danger.
Zavier thought the demon that came down was at least SS-ranked, or else he wouldn't have used the [danger assessment] to decide he couldn't fight it.
He'd fought S-ranked mages before, and while he couldn't beat them, he could at least block them for a short time.
Zavier was perplexed; if this organization wanted to kill him, why did they only send an alchemist and a devil worker?
If they wanted to kill him in one blow, two A-class professionals who were very good at fighting, he would be killed in a sneak attack. He was able to resurrect Valerie the last time because her powerful lasted so long and he was able to recruit the clones.
He didn't plan defense because the first thing he thought was that the school was announcing the list of entrants, and he didn't think there would be any entrance ceremony or killer attack. If two A-class professionals who were good at fighting attacked him at the same time, he might not be able to wait for the clone.
Zavier went off to think, but his limited knowledge couldn't help him.
When he looked up, he noticed the two guards were staring at him. Despite the fact that no arrests were made, they were still concerned that he would flee.
Zavier stood his ground; he was the victim, so there was no need for him to flee.
It cannot be left alone at this time. Uncle Val's protection didn't work because his attackers were after him on campus, and the school couldn't even keep its students safe.
If he continued to go to school in such a dazed manner, he would have no idea how or when he would die one day. He didn't want to be poisoned at home like he was the first time he crossed over.
Regardless of which department came forward, he needed to know the exact name of the hidden power.
Da-da-da...
Behind Zavier, the sound of military boots stomping on the ground became audible.
He didn't need to look back to realize it had to be someone from the Empire.
"This is Gus, the head of MI13 Caesar University District," the one who came said.
"Hello." Zavier shifted his gaze to Gus, who was speaking.
The man in front of him had a razor-sharp stare.
"I need you to tell me the whole plots before and after the incident, preferably with the killer's resemblance," he said indifferently.
Except for the conversation with the Devil Worker, Zavier displayed it all without hesitation.
Zavier gave Gus a serious look and said, "I need an explanation for this; why was a paladin among those who assassinated me first? Also, who was the person who attempted to murder me?"
Gus, on the other hand, said as if he didn't care, "I am not required to inform you of the findings of the investigation. You must be investigated immediately under the law, so please cooperate with us."
