Chapter 84 [Jealousy] and [Psychological Invisibility] Today’s update is a 5,300-word chapter
Lily, who was rejected by Luke, was not too depressed. After all, how could it be possible to make a decision after hearing a few words from a stranger about such a major matter that would determine the future path?
She pushed her hair behind her ears and invited warmly: "I'll take you to sign up first. You can decide whether to practice as a wizard or a shaman later."
The main body of the school is not located in the town, but is hidden in the jungle behind the town.
Driving through a fairly wide forest road, within ten minutes, a huge building came into view.
The entire building is composed of several pyramid-shaped towers. The tallest tower in the middle has ten floors and stands majestically in the center of the school.
The outer wall of the tower is made of pure white marble, with gorgeous decorations and carvings, making people think of the ancient magician's castle.
At the top of the tower, there is a huge oval-shaped red crystal. At first glance, it looks like a solid flame.
Luke looked with his identification ability, but found nothing. It seemed that there should be some kind of protective measures near the crystal.
Seeing that he noticed the crystal, Lily introduced: "It's called the Heart of Fire, and it's the sect-suppressing treasure of the Flame School. I heard that during the period of extraordinary severance, the mages of the Flame School could also use it to perform some simple
The magic has been passed down to this day. However, we usually call it a phoenix egg. Look, does it look like an enlarged version of a bird egg?"
Luke took another look at the crystal. It did look a bit like it. He nodded in approval.
According to Lily, those who attend the "School of Flames" training class will have an opportunity to have close contact and understand the heart of fire before graduation. Many people will gain some special insights about flames.
She has a complete inheritance, and the reason why she left the tribe and came here was to gain some insights after graduation.
Lily seemed to be very familiar with this place, and she led Luke through the formalities in a familiar manner. After paying the tuition fee of 150,000 U.S. dollars, he looked at the gorgeous decoration of the tower and began to feel distressed.
His college tuition is only $20,000 a year, which also includes accommodation and books.
The short-term training courses of the "Fire Flame School" only lasted for three months.
On the first day of class, there will be a concentrated class to explain the basic knowledge.
After that, you can come and go freely and directly seek guidance from the teacher according to your own progress.
After all, there are only twenty people in one training class, and the number of students is not as many as the teachers. Moreover, some students are pure novices, while others are industry insiders, and the progress is different. Therefore, the teaching mode is somewhat similar to that of personal training in a gym.
The class officially started a week later. After Luke completed the formalities, he said goodbye to Lily and drove away.
——
Days without monsters to farm are very boring.
Luke even thought about going over to slay a few waves of vampires, but the little vampire power in Phoenix City had been wiped out by the furious police system, and most of the remaining ones shrank back to the base camp of Nivaldo City.
The official relationship there is very serious with vampires. If Luke goes to find trouble with them, he may be wanted by the police before he fights a few wild monsters.
That is to say, the states and even the cities in the Lighthouse Country are not very closely related, otherwise the police from Nivaldo City might now come across the city to detain Luke.
There are not many clues about Candyman's subsequent case investigation. Only Dast and Yaska are continuing to follow up, while Amisha is investigating the previous disappearance of securities company employees.
There are new circumstances emerging in that case. One of their important customers and partners named Paul has also disappeared recently. The police are planning to combine the two missing cases.
Bored, Luke decided to go to the police station to ask if there were any clues about the monsters, preparing to play the role of a good citizen who does justice again.
After arriving at the police station, he first went around Amisha's office, but no one was there. The police officer passing by told him that Amisha was now discussing the case in the conference room.
As a special adviser to the police station, he could observe most cases that were not particularly sensitive, so he asked the police officer to lead him over.
In the conference room, Amisha was having a heated discussion with several police officers about the case.
Seeing Luke come in, she nodded and motioned for Luke to find a place to sit and continue the discussion.
After listening for a while, Luke roughly understood the current situation.
An old black policeman named William was the person in charge of the disappearance case of Farhad, an employee of P&P Securities Company. He insisted that Patrick, who had been questioned at the police station before, was a serious suspect and suggested that he be detained directly or apply for a search warrant to inspect his home.
.
Amisha also supported his opinion.
However, a few middle-aged police officers who looked a little smoother emphasized that based on the clues currently available, witnesses claimed to have seen a homeless man following Paul, and this clue should be regarded as the main starting point for current follow-up.
Moreover, it seems that they are unwilling to offend P&P Securities Company. According to them, Patrick is the only son of the founder of this large company, and his father has certain power in the city.
Taking action against him without evidence would lead to a passive situation for the police department.
Just as he was talking, the door of the conference room opened again, and it was Sergeant Joseph.
Luke noticed that he had shaved off all the hair that he was once proud of, and he looked much fiercer.
As soon as Joseph came in, everyone in the meeting looked at him and smiled. It seemed that his popularity in the police station was indeed not very good.
One of the people he often laughed at said, "Joseph, have you lost all your hair?"
He didn't answer, but said to the black Sheriff Al Bryan: "There is a new case, please come out."
I took out a few more on-site inspection sheets.
Seeing that he didn't answer, the man deliberately shouted loudly, "You don't have kidney deficiency, do you?"
Joseph opened his eyes wide and said, "Why do you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air..."
"What innocence? I saw your hair falling out with my own eyes last week. When you took off your hat, your hair fell out strand by strand."
Joseph's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out, and he argued, "I shaved my head myself...all the tough guys shave it! If I shave it myself, does it count as hair loss?"
There were words that were difficult to understand one after another, such as "real man" and "macho man", which made everyone burst into laughter.
The conference room was filled with cheerful air.
Albryan was a good man. Seeing that Joseph was embarrassed and helpless, he stood up and followed him out.
After Joseph's lively atmosphere, everyone felt much happier and finally decided to split up.
Those middle-aged police officers went to investigate the homeless group near P&P.
As for Patrick, let Amisha and Morgan go to the P&P company to talk to him without taking any measures, and then ask about the situation to see if they can make any new discoveries.
At the end of the meeting, Amisha brought old police officer Morgan to Luke and introduced him: "Deputy Chief William, who has been a police officer for more than 40 years, is the oldest and most experienced senior in our police department. There are two other
I’m going to retire soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, William stretched out his hand with a smile. Luke shook hands with him and introduced himself: "Luke, I just served as a consultant to the police station."
Morgan responded: "Of course I know you, the possessor of magical supernatural abilities. I have heard about the previous werewolf case. An outdated old guy like me really envy you young and promising guys."
Luke smiled modestly and said, "No, we are going to learn from experienced seniors like you."
Amisha waved her hand between the two of them, "Okay, the greeting time is over, we are going to investigate Patrick."
Luke did remember Patrick, the stockbroker, and he volunteered: "I'll go with him, too."
Amisha looked him over and said, "Why are you following me? You don't understand interrogation and search."
Luke smiled mysteriously and took out the "Hypnosis Charm" that Dust had given him before taking it out of his pocket and it lit up.
Amisha wanted very much to tell Luke that it was immoral to abuse extraordinary powers against ordinary people.
But the crisp scene during the last interrogation of the gang leader seemed to be replaying before her eyes.
Human nature is like this. Once you drive it once, it's hard to refuse to drive it a few more times.
She thought twice and said: "Okay, you can follow, but don't use the hypnotic spell easily. At least don't use it until William and I finish questioning."
The three of them drove to P&P separately.
After entering the building, the front desk service directed them to Patrick's assistant's office, and Amisha informed his assistant of her purpose.
Patrick was intoxicated by the singing in his headphones when his assistant opened the door and came in.
He asked displeasedly: "What's the matter?"
The assistant has been disliked many times recently, so she said timidly: "There are a few police officers outside who want to see you."
Patrick took off his headphones and slid his seat back.
"Tell them I went to lunch."
The assistant was a little helpless, "Patrick, it's only half past ten, I think they know you're here."
He frowned and said, "Let them come in."
As he spoke, he picked up the phone at hand and pretended to be talking to someone.
Luke and the other three came in, and Patrick was talking passionately into the phone.
"Friend, there is something special about wearing a thick striped shirt. He must match it with a dark or brightly patterned suit and tie."
He smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello to the three of them, and said into the phone: "Listen, I'm going to hang up, there's something going on here."
Then hung up the phone.
Luke and the others pulled up stools and sat down. Amisha and Luke had met Patrick before.
William had met him many times and was greeting him warmly.
Luke took the opportunity and said in a voice as gentle as a mosquito in Amisha's ear: "He has a problem. The call is fake. There is no sound on the other end of the phone."
