Chapter 1698 Bruce Wayne and the Sorcerer's Stone (Thirteen)
"Jesus, where did you get that?" Barry's eyes widened as he looked at the grenade in Harley's hand.
"Don't worry about it, but I'm sure this thing is much easier to use than a wand." Harley raised her eyebrows slightly mischievously and tossed the grenade known as the "Soviet Little Lemon" up and down in her hand. Barry and Bruce looked terrified.
"You're not going to use this thing to deal with the dryads, are you?" Little Bruce asked after hesitating for a moment, and Barry glared at Harley and said, "You can't do that, it might destroy the teaching building!"
"No way." Harley shook her head and said very confidently: "The buildings here are all from the elves in the Maya world. The materials used in the construction are different from the buildings in ordinary society, and they are high in strength. It’s here!”
"But bombing a school with a grenade is ridiculous."
"Don't tell me you never thought about it that way."
Barry was silent and silent. Even the most obedient children sometimes get tired of studying. Who didn't think about bombing the school when they were young?
"Stop talking nonsense, we need to go to the cafeteria quickly, finish eating before everyone else, and then go to the library to check information."
Without saying anything else, the three of them rushed to the cafeteria quickly. The daily meals at the Magic Academy were not as varied as those at the grand ceremony, but there were also a lot of breads, barbecued meats and stewed vegetables. Full plates filled the dining table, and finally The three people who arrived at the table first chose the hot meals and finished the meals as quickly as possible.
But on their way to the library, they met an unexpected person: Bruce Wayne, the dean of Wayne College.
"Are you going to the library? Be careful when passing the main castle. I heard that some students have been injured before."
Barry felt a little uncomfortable when he was stared at by Bruce Wayne's blue eyes, but the concern and slight worry for his students could not be faked.
Barry could only nodded and replied: "Don't worry, professor, we won't go to the fourth floor."
"Of course, I believe you are all good children who abide by school rules, but I also don't understand why Principal Jim would put such an important magic stone in the school. This is not a good thing for the safety of the students. "
"You don't know why Jim, the Night Master, put the Philosopher's Stone in the school?" Harley immediately stepped forward and asked.
Bruce was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I have not known Dark Night Master Jim for a long time. If you want to mention it, only Professor Constantine and Professor Rodriguez in this school are the Dark Night Master's old friends. ”
Little Bruce and Barry looked at each other, and Barry politely said goodbye to Bruce Wayne. They continued to walk toward the library, and Little Bruce speculated as they walked.
"Wayne looks very young, so he may not be of the same generation as Constantine, Rodriguez, and Master of the Night, so he may not have been involved in the design of this trial."
"He seems very friendly." Barry shrugged and said, "I quite like the bat doll he gave me."
"He stole the hearts of almost all the girls in the college." Harley yawned and said, "The night he sent the bat doll, Spencer pulled me to gossip about his love history for most of the night."
The three of them chatted and entered the library. This is a circular spire located at the end of the main castle. There are seven floors in total, and each floor is filled with densely packed bookshelves.
The three of them began to search separately for information about Dark Night Master Jim, but it was actually very easy to find. Jim was a very famous figure in the magical world. He and his Forgotten Bar were the distribution points for news in the entire magical world. Among this group of people Almost all great masters who are capable of writing books and biographies will mention him once or twice in their works.
Before long, the desktop in front of the three people piled up into a small mountain. Bruce was flipping through the books at almost quantum speed reading, and Harley was no less willing. Barry knew that he did not have such reading ability, so he read them next to him. Start by recording some useful knowledge.
When it got completely dark, little Bruce looked up from the mountain of books. His eyes seemed a little hollow, obviously he was recalling the information he had just seen, and then he concluded.
"Dark Night Master Jim's reputation is quite good. Almost all mages think that he is a very fair but very tolerant person. The Forgotten Bar he opened gave mages a platform to communicate with each other, but it is a pity that this bar was not used by magic before. It was destroyed in the world war.”
Harley continued what he said: "Principal Jim is leaving now and is going back to rebuild the Forgotten Bar. He wants to unite the remaining living forces in the magical world to recover the rewards they deserve from angels and demons."
"The information shows that he once saved Maia in the magical world and had a very powerful weapon. When vampires were raging in London, his team saved many people. This is recorded in Master Andrew's manuscript." Barry He looked at his notebook and said.
"Then there should be no problem with him." Little Bruce thought for a moment and said, "If there is really any conspiracy behind the trial about the Sorcerer's Stone, he might be the one who was deceived."
"Do you remember what Dean Wayne said?" Barry took Little Bruce's arm and said, "Dark Night Master Jim is an old friend of Dean Rodriguez and Professor Constantine. Could it be the three of them? Organized this trial?"
"Who else can there be besides them?" Harley put the last book in her hand on the high pile of books and said: "I heard that Professor Strange is also an outsider, Dean Zatara, Dean Wayne and Professor Pamela are both young, and Mrs. Xanadu is not human. At most, she can bring along Master Andrew."

Little Bruce touched his chin and said: "Perhaps some of them sincerely want to arrange a trial to let the students understand that they cannot blindly follow power and must take the initiative to stand up and defend the interests of mankind."
"Not necessarily everyone thinks so. Maybe some people want Jim to put the Philosopher's Stone in the school, and their motives are not pure."
Little Bruce tapped the paper with his fingertips and speculated: "Jim, the master of the night, placed the Philosopher's Stone in a certain room in the school, and firmly believed that only some bold and reckless students would steal it, so the defenses they set up The level won’t be too high because it’s the students who are being guarded, not the professors.”
"But if a professor had guided Jim to make this decision early, making him think that only students would steal the Philosopher's Stone, and therefore take the initiative to leave him undefended, then the professor could use this opportunity to steal the Philosopher's Stone and those means of defending students. But I can’t stop the professor.”
"You mean Professor Rodriguez?"
"He's suspicious, isn't he?"
"But what does he want the Sorcerer's Stone for? You don't really think he is controlled by angels and demons, do you?" Harley questioned.
"I didn't tell you that before we got involved in this matter, I once met him in the corridor of the dean's office. It was me who told him that I had used the runes of divine power to see an angel. his."
Barry opened his mouth in shock, but little Bruce continued: "But he guessed more before that. At first, I thought it might be magic like mind reading, but then I thought, it might be him. He deliberately wanted me to feel that way, but the truth is that he learned something about me from another angle.”
"Another angle? What do you mean?"
"If he has a way to communicate with angels, then he can naturally see that I have a connection with angels from an angel's perspective, right?"
"This is a bit too far-fetched." Barry shook his head and said, "I would rather believe that it is a mind-reading spell. After all, Professor Rodriguez is a world-renowned psychology master. If he could read minds, then all this would be That’s explained.”
"But we have to remain skeptical, we..."
When little Bruce said this, his movements suddenly paused. His body swayed on the chair and almost fell. Then he covered his forehead and put his elbows on the table to support his body.
"What's wrong with you?" Harley helped him and asked.
"It's nothing, I just felt dizzy." Little Bruce took a deep breath and shook his head in confusion, but soon he was stunned again.
"I think you were dizzy because you read too fast and consumed too much energy. Otherwise, we should go back and rest quickly." Barry jumped down from the chair and said.
"No, have you forgotten? We have another labor tonight, and we have to go to Professor Pamela's place to clean up the warehouse."
"Oh my god!" Barry covered his forehead and said, "If you two hadn't kept causing trouble, why would I have done this?"
"Stop complaining, we have to go early and come back early to go to bed so that we don't have to wake up tomorrow morning."
Barry was not a person who complained, and Bruce didn't say much because he was not feeling well. After the three of them put the books back in their places, they headed to the greenhouse again under the cover of night.
The large garden at night does not look as lush and green as it does during the day. On the contrary, all kinds of plants, illuminated by the night, always remind people of ferocious ghost claws.
Barry, who was holding a lantern, rubbed his arm, but when his arm was scratched by a branch, he shouted and almost jumped up.
"Can you please stop making such a fuss?" Little Bruce frowned and said with some disgust.
"I'm just a little... forget it, it's okay, let's go quickly."
Barry swallowed and quickened his pace. The three of them walked quickly while looking at the lights of the cabin in the distance, and soon arrived near the greenhouse.
But just when they were about to enter the courtyard of the house, little Bruce grabbed Harley with quick eyes and hands, hid his body behind the courtyard wall, poked his head out, and pointed at the courtyard door to Barry.
Under the light of the door, the three of them saw a man in black robes opening the door and walking in. Judging from his size, he was definitely not Professor Pamela, but a man.
"Follow him." Little Bruce said in a low voice.
The three of them walked lightly along the courtyard wall to the back door. There was a whole patch of creeping plants here. The three of them climbed to the top of the wall by stepping on the thicker knots of the vines. Then they saw the man in black robes picking from the small garden in the courtyard. plant.
"Remember what we said in class? Stewing spiral grass with deer blood and exotic cabbage has the effect of accelerating the healing of open wounds." Harley lowered her voice and said.
"He is taking the cotyledons of the exotic cabbage." Little Bruce stretched his neck and looked in, watching the movements of the man in black robes and said, "He is taking some herbs that can be used to make healing ointments."
"Is that Professor Rodriguez?" Barry asked with some suspicion, but because the distance was too far and the other person was tightly wrapped in a black robe, the three of them really couldn't tell who the other person was.
"He's coming, hurry up, hurry down."
The three jumped down from the vines, looked at each other, and Barry said:
"Let's go back first, get up early tomorrow morning and check what plants were lost. If there are only raw materials for healing potions, then he must want to use them to heal the wound on his arm caused by the tree demon."
