Chapter 91. Dekan Was Left Speechless After Hearing the Story
The three of them were originally about to leave the campus.
Now, at Dekan’s suggestion, they had come to the Mage Faculty’s dormitory.
Although Dekan wasn’t sure if Teresia was home, there was no harm in looking.
“Knock, knock.”
“Teresia, are you there?”
“Dekan? Please wait a moment.”
Teresia’s response came from within the door.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps, she came over and opened the door.
“Eh?”
However, to Teresia’s surprise, there were two other girls standing outside the door.
Even if Cornelia didn’t know Teresia, Teresia was very familiar with Cornelia.
Or rather, there were very few students in this school who hadn’t heard of the Dekan & Cornelia duo.
Except for someone like Flora, who almost never came to school and never cared about interesting news and anecdotes.
Before Teresia could even greet them, she was embraced by Flora, who had rushed into the room.
“Big Sister Teresia!”
Flora called out cheerfully.
She was obviously very familiar with Teresia.
“Please, come in first.”
Although Teresia was surprised, she quickly invited Dekan and the others to come in and sit down.
“Dekan? How come you’re with Flora? And hello, Cornelia, nice to meet you for the first time!”
“He-hello!”
“I ran into Flora by chance today, and the three of us wanted to ask you for some information about Morion.”
“Right! The Idiot Trio is going to bring back my brother!”
“Wait, wait, you’re looking for Morion… and what’s this about an Idiot Trio?”
Teresia looked at Flora with a bewildered expression, then at Dekan.
Instantly, she understood.
This guy Dekan was acting again!
Wasn’t tormenting Iris last time enough?
“Flora, you’d better not think of Dekan as an idiot. He and your brother are two of a kind…”
Teresia said seriously, her hands on Flora’s shoulders.
She was terrified of Dekan’s outrageous antics.
Iris was a princess, after all, so Dekan wouldn’t dare to mess around too much.
But Flora, if she wasn’t careful, she might be tricked by Dekan to the point of disappearing without a trace!
“What? Is Dekan actually smart?”
Flora turned her head in shock to look at Dekan.
She didn’t understand why a smart person would need make-up classes, and how the Knight Faculty could have someone as smart as her brother.
“He-he was attending the make-up class with me,” Cornelia explained.
Flora’s mouth was agape, her red lips trembling slightly, as if her faith had crumbled.
“The Idiot Trio… is disbanded just like that…”
Then she sat on the sofa in a daze, murmuring to herself.
It seemed like she had crashed.
Dekan shook his head helplessly.
Actually, he had never intended to play tricks on Flora in the first place.
Teresia was purely judging a gentleman by her own petty standards.
“By the way, why are you looking for Morion?”
Teresia asked, staring at Dekan nervously.
“Flora misses her brother, and we want to help her fulfill this small wish, to have a touching reunion between brother and sister.”
“Are you… sure?”
As far as Teresia knew, although Flora and Morion had a good relationship as siblings, Flora wasn’t clingy to her brother.
This younger sister was used to being carefree.
Dekan coughed lightly.
Flora, at the side, quickly came to her senses and said:
“Flora misses her brother, Big Sister Teresia. Please, please help me.” (monotone reading)
“You two…”
Teresia looked at Dekan and Flora with an expression full of contempt.
Dekan’s expression was also a bit awkward.
Flora’s on-the-spot acting was simply too clumsy.
When they had rehearsed earlier, Flora’s tearful and pleading appearance had made even Dekan feel that their sibling bond was deeply moving.
“I did see him in the Royal Capital a few months ago.”
Teresia said helplessly, knowing she couldn’t hide it from Dekan.
But she couldn’t continue.
Morion trusted her, which was why he had met with her.
And when she had asked about the card maker’s information, Morion had told her without hesitation.
Out of a sense of duty, she shouldn’t tell anyone Morion’s information.
Not even her friend Dekan.
“Dekan, you must be thinking of catching Morion and then collecting the bounty from the Hanover family, right?”
“What do you mean, collecting a bounty? Isn’t helping the Earl find his heir an act of kindness and accumulating good karma?”
“But…”
“As Morion’s close friend, I can’t just stand by and watch him fall so low.”
“How did you become my brother’s close friend…”
Flora clearly remembered that when Dekan first mentioned her brother, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Dekan: “Don’t undermine me, Flora!”
Teresia: “But… if Morion is really taken back home, he’ll be beaten half to death by uncle…”
Dekan frowned upon hearing this.
“Just what kind of heinous crime did this guy commit to be hated so much by his father?”
Even if Morion had shirked his responsibilities as an heir and run off to roam the world, it shouldn’t be this serious.
Could it be that Flora wasn’t joking?
If he brought Morion back, would the Earl really be so excited as to marry Flora to him?
Teresia was silent, as if there were words she couldn’t bring herself to say.
On the other hand, Flora seemed to have fully rebooted from her crashed state.
“He just sold our family’s ancestral epic card to the Resurrection Church, then went to a major slave trader and bought back a super-strong, critically ill elf…”
She said with a shrug, as if it were nothing.
The elf was covered in complex toxins and curses that were difficult to purify and dispel, which was why this originally priceless slave had a price tag.
After hearing Flora’s explanation, Dekan stroked his chin and nodded.
Stealing a family heirloom was indeed a bit despicable.
And doing business with the Resurrection Church was a very malicious act in itself.
“But it’s not to the point of being beaten half to death by his father, right? He’s the eldest son, after all.”
Flora shook her head: “My brother had actually already bribed several members of the Resurrection Church, and later worked with them to steal that epic card back.”
“Then isn’t that a great thing he did?”
Swindling the Resurrection Church out of something for nothing was an act of immeasurable merit.
“No, no, it’s not over yet.”
“There’s more?”
Dekan gradually felt a sense of unease.
“My brother found a miraculous healer who cured the elf’s difficult and complicated diseases. Then he gave that epic card to the elf, making her combat power incredibly terrifying. He took her to raid the slave trader’s base and got back the money he spent on the elf…”
“…”
This time, even Dekan was silent.
Bandits and capitalists would weep upon hearing this.
So, you spent no money at all.
And you got a super-strong elf, an epic card, and a large sum of money?
And this miraculous healer in the story, why does she feel so familiar?
“This led to simultaneously and thoroughly enraging the Resurrection Church and some of the powerful nobles in the territory, which ultimately triggered a series of internal conflicts in the territory.”
Flora finished recounting Morion’s glorious deeds.
The entire living room.
Fell silent.
