When there are nearly 300 people running around the same area, what kind of scene will it be? Maka just felt that it was like a large group of Cornwall elves trying to hold up for a meeting. Looking at it, it was a mess.
Those wizards are like marmots on the wasteland. One has just drilled in here, and another will follow out there. Everyone is making unremitting efforts to find out whether there is an unknown clue.
A closer look shows that among the wizards who searched everywhere, some were using magic spells to detect footprints, and some were predicting more likely directions. And the last part of the people, is to focus their attention on all other people who can be suspected.
Of course, Maka also found a few unreliable ones. For example, he saw a middle-aged witch with dishevelled hair muttering with a crystal ball, as if he wanted to find the whereabouts of the old housekeeper through divination.
"Mr. McLean, won't you look for it?"
Seeing that Maka had already stopped and just stood in place scanning other wizards around, Fanny couldn't help asking softly.
"Of course, I have to find it, but I'd better wait a little longer. Finding out the current situation is the priority..." Maka didn't look back. She looked at the men and women wizards with different behaviors and replied, "for example... Well, who do you think is the most suspect among the Wizards in the auditorium?"
Fanny heard the speech and sank down to think for a moment. Then she hesitated and said, "the master of the tefuller family?"
"Yes!" Marca nodded. "His suspicion is really a little big. After all, it was not long after he suddenly showed up that old Mr. Edward disappeared inexplicably. Since the suspicion is so direct, I think many people will react. I'm afraid there will be a dispute at that time."
"... then we?" Fanny asked.
"We just have to look at him from a distance," Marca thought and added. "At least I don't think he's the one who took Mr. Edward away."
"Not him? Why do you say that?"
"If he had thought about how to tie the old housekeeper away at the beginning, he would not have been so high-profile when he came here. I think he must have some plot to come here, but his purpose is unlikely to be the old housekeeper."
After listening to Marca's explanation, Fanny immediately felt very reasonable. But no matter how subtle the speculation is, it is only speculation. What is the truth behind the matter is unknown to her at present.
Just as they were observing many figures in busbarton's vestibule, a commotion came out of the auditorium. As soon as Marca listened, she immediately spread her hand to Fanny.
"Look, what did I just say?"
After that, he greeted Fanny, followed the commotion and went straight to the auditorium. On the way, you can also see that most of the other wizards are returning to see the situation to confirm what caused the commotion and whether someone has found a clue.
As soon as they returned to the auditorium door, Maka and Fanny found the tension that seemed to fill the air at the same time. Then Maka saw that at the moment, several people had surrounded the master of tefuller's house. At the moment, you and I were pressing him!
"Don't ask me. I haven't done anything. I've been sitting here since just now, haven't I?" Mr. tefuller frowned. "I think many people have seen it. What else can you doubt now?"
"Hum, even if it's not your automatic hand, it doesn't mean you can't find help." a wizard's face is not good.
"Yes! You'll attract all our attention by coming forward, and then your companions can start, which is not a small possibility!" another wizard agreed.
"Me? Help?" said Mr. Teflon coldly. "I can warn you that if you slander me with such unfounded speculation, my Teflon family will not agree!"
He said that most of the Wizards present belong to various forces, and there are more forces than his Teflon family everywhere. Where will his threat work?
Maka and Fanny just paused at the door of the auditorium and immediately leaned towards the place where the crowd gathered. But when they were about to come to the periphery of the onlookers, suddenly two unnamed wizards withdrew from the crowd, passed them and walked quickly all the way to the side porch of the auditorium.
Maka glanced at the tafuller master in the center of the crowd, glanced at the two wizards walking there, and soon decided which side he wanted to focus on.
"Go," he whispered to Fanny, "look at that. I'm afraid there won't be any results here for a while. Let's follow the two wizards to have a look."
Fanny was silent. She just nodded to show that she understood.
So, following in front of Maka, they soon caught up with the two wizards who hurried away. To be on the safe side, he put a magic spell on himself and Fanny to hide their respective shapes.
The two guys walked very fast and in a hurry. Just looking at their fast alternating footsteps, Maka knew that they must have some suspicious purpose.
Instead of leaving busbarton castle, they walked through the side porch of the auditorium and the same wide hall, all the way up the stairs extending to the second floor.
Busbarton doesn't have the wonderful rotatable stone stairs like Hogwarts, which is very convenient for Marca and Fanny to track at the same time, because at least they don't have to worry about losing them directly because they take the wrong step.
Before long, Maka found that the two had stepped through the corridor, opened a gate and walked in. The door is nothing strange, but the nameplate on the door is quite eye-catching, engraved with the exquisite flower words "school infirmary".
Because the other party habitually closed the door, in order not to scare the snake, Maka didn't open it again. After glancing at Fanny, he cast a magic spell directly on the door leaf, and the sound inside suddenly seemed to be amplified and directly poured into their ears.
"... which one?"
"This way, there's a bed behind the curtain. Come here!"
"Did you find it?"
"That's it. Let's go and have a look..."
Although the specific scene inside the room could not be seen, the overlapping footsteps and the occasional dialogue gradually formed a simple but clear picture in Marca and Fanny's mind.
The two wizards were apparently examining the hospital bed and trying to find one of them. Busbarton's school infirmary ward is very large, but most of the beds that can provide patients with rest are vacant. At a glance, almost all of them are neatly paved white sheets and bedding.
After they had seen the beds in front of them and lifted the curtain in the middle of the room, they saw a patient lying on the bed who was unknown.
There is no doubt that it is master tefuller who is still in a coma.
"Still awake?" one of the Wizards looked around and frowned.
"Hey, it's hard to say whether you wake up." another wizard shook his head. "What's the saying? You'll never wake up a wizard who casts a soul snatching spell on yourself!"
"Just say what you want!" the previous wizard was a little impatient.
"You always don't have a sense of humor..." the other party glanced, which said, "didn't I tell you at the beginning? Who knows if the boy was really attacked... The guy who died earlier doesn't seem to be the type who can cover people!"
"I didn't understand that at first!" at first, the wizard said angrily, "since he wasn't attacked, what's the matter now? Don't tell me that the man was actually killed by this boy?"
"Don't say it, I don't think it's impossible," the other party said suspiciously. "Think about it, the boy was attacked and his companions were killed, but his Lao Tzu only used this as an excuse to forcibly replace his son to participate in the event again... Is this realistic?"
"Do you still want to say that the boy is not in a coma? He is listening to our conversation and laughing at us?" the wizard obviously didn't believe it. He even slapped young master tefuller on the bed and directly slapped his face to the side, "ha! Pretend to be the same, didn't he?"
For the irony of his accomplice, the other wizard was not angry at all. He even smiled a few times.
"Hey! Don't fan people's faces. They look very handsome!" he continued with a smile. "Of course, the coma may be true, but how it happened is unknown. Come on, give him a hand, let's check him carefully..."
Before the voice fell, Maka outside the door vaguely sensed that a slight magic wave came out from the inside. Its casting technique was slow, light and stable. It seemed that there were some means.
"Oh, is it some kind of magic medicine? Well... Let me see..."
After a while, I only heard a dull cough in the ward. It seemed that master tefuller woke up before even a professional therapist woke up.
"Look what I said?" the wizard sneered just now. "A kind of medicine that is not common in the market has deceived so many people. It's really... Boy, how do you feel? Do you think you wake up at a bad time?"
"You... Who are you?"
Master tefuller's voice began to ring. It sounded a little hoarse. It seemed that he had just woke up and had not really calmed down.
"Who are we?" the wizard sneered. "You don't have to care."
