Chapter 173: Get lost! This is my prey
Delaman tapped the invitation lightly with his staff, and soon a cloudy glow appeared on the staff.
"Hmm..." Delaman pushed the heavy glasses on his nose, then turned to look at Hevinia and Olenna. "Indeed, I sensed the remnants of magic on the invitation, and judging from the type and scale... Miss Hevinia, what did you say happened last night?"
"The two-tone caressing technique," Helvinia replied.
"Yes, that should be it." Delaman nodded slightly. "How should I put it? A hundred years ago, this was a very normal and common spell. But now, with the cooperation of some other spells, it has indeed lost its original meaning and has become a little unacceptable. Miss Hevinia, I think I understand why you were so excited last night."
Having said that, Delaman paused, then turned to look at Olenna.
"Ms. Olenna, I want to hear your explanation."
"This has nothing to do with me, Professor Delaman!" Olenna said excitedly, "I didn't put any spells in that invitation, and it was a disgusting spell. This is Hevinia's slander against me!"
"Oh, Miss Olenna, do you mean, is there something wrong with my test?"
"No, Professor Delamain, I mean..."
"Are you saying that Miss Helvinia is using her own reputation to slander you?"
Olenna was speechless and just bit her lips tightly, while Hevinia beside her remained very calm.
At first glance, it seems that Olenna is the victim.
Of course, Hevinia had arranged this.
The trap spell that caught her last night was Sanyin's "Knowledge of the Scented Wind".
This was a very common spell to detect talent, and the person who cast it obviously wanted to know Hevinia's true identity. But if others knew that Hevinia was so excited and angry when she was cast with such a harmless spell, "Scented Wind Knowledge", they would definitely think it was wrong, and Hevinia would be in more trouble.
So when she snatched the staff from someone else last night and angrily went to cause trouble for Olenna, Hevinia inadvertently released a new spell on the invitation to cover up Sanyin's "Knowledge of the Scented Wind".
The spell she chose was exactly the one that Delaman had just detected, Eryin's "caress" spell.
This spell, like "Knowledge of the Scented Wind", is harmless in itself, but it also records certain characteristics of the person affected by it.
But it is not like the Xunfeng Consciousness that directly detects the person's musical scale. Instead, it is like using a giant magical hand to gently caress the person's body, and then records the other person's body shape, tone, and... body odor.
This is originally a very useless spell, but it can achieve some very strange effects on some people with ulterior motives.
For example, with the physical data and voice of the person under the spell, the caster can use some shaping magic to create a fake person under the spell.
Just like those indescribable dolls in Bai Wei’s previous life.
There are also people who engrave the unique tone of the magician on their own staff.
It's like wearing your admirer's private parts on your own body.
Yes, the Art of Caress itself is just a harmless spell, but if the person using it becomes perverted, it will become evil.
Therefore, Hevinia only needed to let the people in the academy know that she was under such a spell, then her behavior last night that was extremely inconsistent with her character could be explained. Especially in the girls' dormitory, everyone had experienced such a thing to a certain extent, so they immediately became indignant and almost drowned Olenna last night.
But in the end they were stopped by the dormitory manager and professor who arrived in time and asked them to calm down.
Then the next day, Hevinia and Olenna stood in front of Professor Delamain.
Although Professor Delaman is a man, he is well aware of how offensive the Caress Technique is to girls.
Of course, in the holy music that highly values timbre, the victims are not only women, but also many men, and the methods used are found to be more perverted and vicious, but we will not discuss that for now.
Anyway, for Hevinia, she has achieved her goal. Everyone will pity her, everyone will treat her as a victim, and at the same time put pressure on Olenna.
After all, everyone would be angry when a dignified Seventh Sound of the Golden Stage suffered such a "dirty" thing, and no one would think about whether Hevinia was hit by the Caress Technique or not.
This was the best solution Hevinia could come up with in the shortest time last night.
"Ms. Olenna." Delaman looked down at the invitation again, and then asked, "This invitation was sent by your brother Phoenix. Does that mean the caster is your..."
"No! Absolutely not!" Olenna didn't even dare to let Delaman finish his words, and immediately denied it, "It has nothing to do with Brother Phoenix! Of course it's not me either. How could our Lawrence family do such a thing!"
Olenna didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if outsiders thought that the caressing technique was cast by her or Phoenix, so she had to firmly deny it.
"But the invitation was sent by your brother," said Delamain, "and it was brought to Helvinia by you, and yet you say that neither you nor your brother has anything to do with it?"
Olenna gritted her teeth and said, "It really has nothing to do with my brother. He doesn't even know about the invitation. I sent it in his name."
"Oh?" Delaman raised his eyebrows and his expression became a little unfriendly.
"But I don't have any strange thoughts!" Olenna realized that Delaman might have misunderstood something, so she hurriedly explained, "My brother did ask me to invite Hevinia, but he didn't send an invitation. I wrote the invitation myself!"
"Why?" Delaman said coldly, "Aren't you doing this in vain?"
Olenna clenched her teeth tightly. She didn't want to tell the truth.
But now, if she didn't say it, not only she, but also Phoenix and the entire Lawrence family would be shamed, so she could only say in a trembling voice: "My brother asked me to apologize to Hevinia... But I don't want to do this. I hate her and don't want to say a word to her, nor do I want to bow to her, so I disguised my brother's handwriting and used the invitation instead of a conversation."
This sentence seemed to have consumed all of Olenna's strength. After she finished speaking, her body shook uncontrollably, as if she might fall at any time.
After hearing these words, the expressions of Delamain and Hevinia did not change much.
To Helvinia, what Olenna said came as no surprise.
She also didn't think that the one who attacked her was Olenna or Phoenix, because it was too obvious. Not to mention Phoenix, Olenna didn't seem like she had the brain to do such a thing.
In other words, she was being used as a tool.
From this point of view, Phoenix seems to be a possibility. After all, he doesn't seem to care about his sister Olenna.
But Hevinia still didn't think it was Phoenix, because she had only met Phoenix once, and there was no reason for Phoenix to directly doubt her identity.
After all, the Golden Book hadn't appeared in who knows how many years, and now everyone in Shengyin would assume that the Golden Book didn't exist, so Hevinia was able to stay in the academy for a year without her identity being exposed.
Normal people would never think about this.
So it still depends on what Olenna says.
This is also the reason why Hevinia made such a big fuss. If it hadn't been forcing Olenna to prove her innocence, it would have been much more difficult to find the spellcaster.
Sure enough, when forced into this situation, Olenna had to start trying hard to recall.
"I bought the invitation at the gift shop." Olenna whispered, "I kept it in my backpack after I bought it, and then went to class normally..."
Hevinia frowned more and more as she listened.
Because the invitation remained on Olenna's body for a whole day.
There are too many people who can make changes during this period.
However, it should not be easy to make a move under the nose of Olenna, who is at the silver level.
"After school, I practiced in the woods next to the dormitory, and my backpack was placed aside at that time."
Helvinia's frown deepened.
If that's the case, there would be even more people who could tamper with the invitation.
After all, there were too many students practicing in the woods next to the dormitory, and most of them could not see each other and could only hear each other's voices.
Therefore, the information provided by Olenna is of no use at all.
Delaman shared the same view. After listening to Olena's story, Delaman said calmly: "Excuse me, Miss Olena, this does not prove your innocence, because you can't even find a suspect, and from your description, I can't even hear that you have any friends."
Olenna gritted her teeth and said, "I'm used to being alone."
"This is not a good thing, Miss Olenna." Delaman turned to look at Helvinia, "So, Miss Helvinia, what do you think?"
Hevinia bowed slightly and said politely but tiredly, "I'm sorry, Professor Delamain, I want to go back and rest first."
"Ah... is that so?" Delaman nodded slightly, showing his understanding. "After all, you have experienced such a thing, but please don't think too much. We will do justice for you, no matter who the other party is."
As he spoke, Delaman glanced at Olenna, which made Olenna's face even paler.
"Thank you, Professor."
After saying this, Helvinia turned and left without even looking at Olenna.
Looking at Hevinia's back, Olenna bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of hatred, and she didn't even notice that her lip was broken and blood was flowing out.
But Helvinia was in no mood to care about Olenna right now.
Her biggest secret has been exposed.
Although it was exposed once half a month ago, this time is undoubtedly much more serious than that time.
After walking out of Delaman's office, Hevinia took a deep breath, and then for the first time, decided to ask for help from a certain being.
"Do you know who the caster is?" Hevinia asked in her heart.
"Wow, you're actually asking me?" Bai Wei said with a smile, "It seems like you're panicking too."
Helvinia said nothing.
"But unfortunately, I don't know." Bai Wei slowly straightened his head, as if he was having a serious conversation with Hevinia, "But I could have known."
"What's the meaning?"
"If I could see." Bai Wei said, "but you know, I don't have eyes now."
Hevinia naturally understood Bai Wei's implication, and she asked, "Can your eyes see the caster?"
"At least we can see through the magic trap in the invitation." Bai Wei said slowly, "It wouldn't have turned out like this."
He paused, then said with a smile.
"How about going back to the dormitory and digging out your eyes before coming back to class?"
Helvinia made no reply.
Of course, she had considered using Bai Wei's power, but after reading the ancient book yesterday, she had already realized how dangerous Bai Wei was.
No matter who her current enemy is, he can't be more dangerous than Bai Wei.
Moreover, Hevinia believed that she was not in a desperate situation yet.
She had thought about it carefully last night.
The person who knows her identity cannot be someone who appears “in the open”.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to act as Hevinia until now.
In other words, the person who knew her identity has not yet reported her.
Then the other party has only one goal.
He also wanted to swallow the golden score, just like the real Hevinia did a year ago.
So, this is the opportunity.
Hevinia narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dangerous aura flowed from her pupils.
So, finding him and killing him is like killing the real Helvinia and killing Eman.
Anyway, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
You can do it without relying on Visas' power!
Hevinia stood by the Thousand Snow Lake and took a deep breath.
The cold wind blowing from the lake filled her nostrils, gradually calming her uneasy mood.
Especially at times like this, the more you need to stay calm.
Hevinia calmed down and was thinking about what expression she should use today to act out the role of "a young lady who was accidentally touched all over by a wretched performer using a foul spell" when her body suddenly stiffened and the hairs on her body stood up.
It was as if something was staring at it.
She subconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the disgust.
Over there is an endless forbidden forest.
She couldn't see anything, but she felt a pair of extremely malicious gazes locking onto her, making her unable to move.
Fear surged into my heart like a tide.
What...is that?!
Helvinia wanted to speak, but her throat seemed to be frozen. She wanted to move, but her body seemed to be frozen.
And that malicious gaze was slowly approaching her.
Although they were hundreds of meters apart and she couldn't see anything, she seemed to be able to hear the sound of sharp claws crushing bones, which even the whistling wind could not suppress.
Are you going to... die here?
This was Hevinia's only thought at the moment.
Then, she heard the person in her mind who always spoke in a relaxed and pleasant manner, speaking to that gaze in the most majestic and unquestionable tone.
"What are you looking at?"
"This is my prey."
The sound merged from my mind into the wind.
"Get out!" It was both a shout and an order.
The malicious look disappeared instantly.
Hevinia's body immediately returned to normal, and the only sound left in her ears was the monotonous sound of the wind.
Hevinia half-knelt on the ground, covered in cold sweat.
"What...is that thing over there?" she asked in a low voice.
"There? There's nothing there, Miss Helvinia."
Bai Wei answered in a relaxed tone.
It was as if everything that just happened was an illusion.
