After confirming Gu Shi's safety, Field asked again, "Since you don't have an academy, how did you know about this?"
From Gu Shi's performance just now, Field roughly judged that he had already known that many students in the college had been inexplicably mentally branded recently.
"Here's what happened. I ran into a fellow countryman while strolling around the city a couple of days ago. We chatted for a few minutes and I realized something was amiss with him."
Gu Shi pulled out a chair and sat down, then explained, "Teacher, you know that the people in our tribe look different from those outside. You can almost tell at a glance whether they are from the same tribe."
Field nodded. Since he accepted Gu Shi as his student, he also knew something about Gu Shi's background.
In addition, as an on-the-job instructor at Congleton School of Magic, although Field has been in the school for a relatively short time, he knows that there have been many new faces with black hair and black eyes in the school in the past two years.
“After I realized that something was wrong with that person, I tried to test him using some special words from the tribe, but he didn’t react at all.
Seeing his suspicious look, I told the elders of the clan about this matter, and then the elders told me about it and said that they had found that several people who attended Cornell College had been infected.
"I see."
Gu Shi moved closer and lowered his voice to ask, "So, teacher, do you have any inside information you can share?"
Field glanced at Gu Shi helplessly. He didn't want his students to be involved in this matter, but who knew that Gu Shi would bump into it himself.
Gu Shi clearly didn't return to the college, but he happened to meet such a person on the street. Should we say that his luck is good or bad?
However, Field could also understand Gu Shi's actions. After all, the one who encountered the accident was his tribesman and friend, so he would have some concerns in his heart.
"There's a lot of water behind this matter. I can't reveal too much about the academy's layout, but I can tell you about other information."
Field acted as if he wanted to have a long talk. Since they were in his own wizard tower, he was not afraid of being overheard by others when he talked about these private matters.
“The magic of spiritual imprint originally came from the Walter family. You may not have heard of this family’s name, as they died out a long time ago.
As for the cause of destruction, it is also closely related to the spiritual imprint.
The person who has been mentally branded will be completely controlled by the caster. In this state, even if the caster controls him to commit suicide, the controlled person will be completely unable to resist.
With the spiritual imprint, the Walter family successfully controlled the king of their country and turned the entire country into a one-man show of their family. They were not even satisfied and even wanted to get involved in other countries.
This spell is so strange that many people are afraid of it, and the Walter family looks ambitious.
In order to prevent them from causing greater chaos, the three great empires at the time chose to strike first and directly destroy the country where the Walter family was located.
Gu Shi was very surprised. He asked in astonishment, "That's actually the case! Then why can't the elders in my tribe find this history in the history books? Logically, there should be a lot of records, right?"
Field smiled and said, "You won't find detailed records of this period of history in ordinary history books. The information about the spiritual imprint has been recorded as a secret history.
Only in rare books that are rarely circulated can one have the opportunity to read about what happened. "
Gu Shi understood it instantly, and then he thought of another question, "Since the mental imprint is such a powerful magic, why haven't I heard of it in all these years? Even if the Walter family has been destroyed, the mental imprint should have been preserved."
Field nodded and said, "You are right. Although this magic has indeed been preserved, almost no wizards can learn it.
Putting aside its inherent difficulty, the most important point in learning the spiritual imprint is to have the blood of the Walter family."
Gu Shi suddenly realized: "It's such a condition, no wonder.
But teacher, didn’t you just say that the Walter family has been destroyed? Where did this mage who can use spiritual imprints come from? "
"That's just the public statement. With a spell like the Mental Brand in front of us, do you think someone might be doing something behind the scenes?"
Field sneered and picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Although he didn't know the truth at that time, he was able to guess what some people were thinking. Haha, he was used to this kind of thing.
Gu Shi was not stupid. After hearing what Field said, he immediately understood. Maybe in order to better study the spiritual imprint, some people would even deliberately preserve a part of the Walter family's bloodline.
Gu Shi sighed silently, there is always greedy people in every era!
After listening to Field's story, Gu Shi began to ponder, "Could it be that the mastermind behind this incident came here for revenge? Targeting Congleton School of Magic for revenge doesn't seem right."
It has been such a long time since the Walter family was destroyed. It is a bit strange that someone is still coming to seek revenge now, and it was the three empires that took action together.
Field denied Gu Shi's guess, "This is not a revenge. There are other forces behind the descendants of the Walter family."
Gu Shi did some elimination in his mind. It was the three major empires that participated in the demise of the Walter family, and only the three major empires would have the bloodline of the Walter family.
This was definitely not done by people from the Igrit Empire. There is no benefit in attacking students from their own magic academy.
Of the remaining two empires, the Ativi Empire, which has always had friction with the Igrit Empire, is obviously more suspicious.
Seeing Gu Shi's gradually enlightened expression, Field lowered his voice, "So, it's better not to get involved in this matter.
Getting involved in the game between countries will do you no good, and it's unclear whether those people have any backup plans. If you're not careful, you'll get yourself involved."
"I understand. I won't go back to the academy until the matter is resolved." Gu Shi is not someone who doesn't listen to advice. Field has warned him like this, so of course he won't still think about rushing forward.
Field nodded with relief, "That's right, I know you're not the kind of person who loves power. If you encounter something like this, it's better to protect yourself.
I'm not saying that those who play power games are bad, it's just that everyone's pursuits are different, so their behavior and attitudes will also be different."
Gu Shi made a joke and said, "I thought you would just scold these people."
He has not forgotten the arrogant image of Field in the eyes of others, so it is normal for him to speak arrogantly.
Field's dangerous eyes swept over him suddenly.
