Return to the Glass Academy", Sylutia reported the matter of Camilla to the teacher, and the other teacher also fell into deep thought after understanding.
"It seems that she must have encountered some kind of accident." He came to the same conclusion.
"Thank you, Miss Hedra, for your attention and discovery. We will deal with the subsequent matters immediately." He stood up and knocked on a special bell on the table.
Soon, a man in black uniform came to the office. He took off his wide-brimmed hat and asked the old man.
"Kurand Master, why are you calling me?" There were several ravine scars on his face. Although they were very shallow after treatment, it could still be seen that this man had gone through many battles and had a cold and capable temperament.
"A student had an accident and disappeared in a rental house outside. We need to find her whereabouts and whereabouts and investigate the cause." The old man took out a special investigation application, filled it out, signed and sealed it, and handed it to the man.
After taking it in for inspection, he nodded slightly.
"I understand, leave it to me." After saying that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, I want to go with you, can you? The missing Camilla is my friend and former classmate. I know her better and should be able to provide some help." Xilu Tia asked.
The man didn't look back and kept walking out of the house. Fortunately, the old man on the side said something for Sylutia.
"Take her with you. Miss Hedra shouldn't cause any trouble to you."
At this time, the other party stopped, turned around, looked at Sylutia coldly, and nodded slightly.
"I understand." Hearing the other party's agreement, Sylutia breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude to the two of them.
She also understood that for professionals, the hasty participation of laymen was actually a burden and trouble, but she was really worried about Camilla and could not just sit back and wait for news.
After that, the man in black hat took Sylutia down the stairs to the Academy's corner. On the way, he briefly introduced his identity to Sylutia.
"My name is Jegas, a member of the Inquisition Hall. That's where you're going to go later." He seemed to know that the girl would ask where Inquisition Hall was, so he continued to explain.
"Inquisition Hall" is an organization under Origin Hourglass", which specializes in destroying prohibited books, knowledge, secret books, and the Dark Mage, Cultist, heretics, etc. derived from them. If members of the faction are assassinated or attacked, we will be responsible for tracking and handling them."
If Mithril Clock" has formulated many rules, standards, and laws of the current Mage Alliance, then Origin Hourglass" is responsible for sorting out and repairing the history and knowledge of the past and present, and pruning and destroying the parts considered harmful.
Inquisition Hall" is a name that many ordinary people have no access to, but it is a frightening name in some Dark Mage circles in the underground world. They have executed many people who studied taboo knowledge theories. After the decline of Star-Gazer School", some taboo secrets were spread and were destroyed and cut out by them.
Arriving at a place not far from the Academy, it looked like a black prison fortress, with iron fences and walls everywhere. Several large buildings were like fortresses that protected each other, with sharp and cold shapes.
Some people, also dressed in black, were passing through. They were silent and spoke little, and some even had chains and shackles hanging around their waists.
Seeing Jegas bring an outsider here, the members here couldn't help but take a second look when they passed by, but no one asked him why, they just nodded slightly, and then passed by.
Arriving inside a black building, which should be the front hall for handling paperwork, Jegas asked Sylutia to sit on the sofa on one side of the hall to wait, while he went to the back with the investigation application form.
Sitting here, Sylutia looked around. There were three counters in the front hall. Occasionally, people would come to hand over tasks and submit reports, but their voices were very low. The floor was pure black marble, and the ceiling was a tough Hutao wood color. Even though it was afternoon, it was still a little cool here.
About half an hour later, Jegas came out with two members behind him, one of whom was about 30 years old.
A mature woman of about 25 years old, and the other is relatively young, probably around 25 years old.
The mature woman has burgundy wavy hair and wears a white shirt with wide sleeves and dark blue trumpet-shaped trousers underneath, with a neutral style. The young man on the other side is relatively more reserved, wearing a neat shirt and black trousers, with a sword at his waist.
"This is Miss Hedra. I heard that you discovered the disappearance of your good friend Camilla." With the crisp sound of her heels, the woman walked up to Sylutia and bent over to look at her with slight interest.
"It's me." The girl stood up and briefly glanced at the three of them.
Among them, Jegas is stronger than Fifth Order. This mature woman is at the fourth level, while the young man beside her is at the third level. It is a very standard team, with the old leading the young, which is also a common matching method in the organization.
"Come with us, we may ask you to introduce us to our discovery on the way." She smiled and nodded to Sylutia, then motioned for her to follow.
After leaving Academy, the four of them took a carriage to Camilla's residence. Sylutia also told what he had discovered.
"Hmm, it seems that you have a good relationship. I will come here to play with her during the holidays." The woman smiled, diluting the overly serious atmosphere in the carriage.
"My name is Kunlan, the young guy next to me is Buen, and as for the wolf-like man opposite, his name is Jegas." In fact, Sylutia already knew the name of the man in the black hat, but he still nodded.
The group soon arrived at Camilla's previous residence and walked into the rental house. Xilu Tia talked about the state and layout of the place before she came.
"Although I'm a little sorry that I didn't see it as it was, it's not an important thing." Kunlan walked around the house, and then asked someone to bring out a few pieces of clothing that Camilla often wore, as well as the notes she left behind.
"With these, we should be able to use them as sacrifices for tracking and positioning during the ceremony."
After getting the things, the four returned to the Inquisition Hall, leaving Buen and Sylutia waiting outside, while Kunlan and Jegas took the things inside the Inquisition Hall to perform a traceability ceremony.
In the front hall, the two people chatting while waiting.
"Is Miss Hedra a student of the Thetis Academy?" Buen asked curiously when he saw the badge next to the girl's collar.
"Yes, I just entered there last year." The girl answered modestly.
"It's only been a year since I joined and I've reached level 3. It's really amazing." He was slightly surprised.
"As expected, the Alliance is number one and Academy is the first. It's not easy."
"What about you, are you a student of the Glass Academy?" the girl was curious.
"No, no, I am not a student of the Glass Academy, but I am a member of the peripheral organization of Origin Hourglass." He introduced himself a little shyly.
"The students of the Glass Academy are the elites of the faction. They rarely work in the Inquisition Hall. Well, it will be more dangerous and difficult here."
"I was studying at Mirne District" before, and I tried to apply for the Academy under Corruption School, but failed. Later, someone recommended me to work in an organization outside Origin Hourglass. They said that although they are not a formal member of the school, the treatment they receive is very good."
"At that time, I didn't have much money because I was studying, so I came here to work."
"At the beginning, I assisted the archaeological team in their work, helping them analyze the soil and find places with decayed corpses and tombs. Because I had to apply for "Corruption School" and learned a lot of related secrets."
"I did a good job in those three years and used the resources I got to complete the advancement. Later, the archaeological team was temporarily out of work, so they recommended me to the Inquisition Hall". Currently, I am mainly responsible for finding corpses, analyzing causes of death, and detecting flesh and blood components and traces."
In just a few minutes, Buen poured out all his experiences in front of the girl. He seemed to be afraid of being left speechless because he had nothing to say. He then talked about his work experience at the Inquisition Hall.
Knowing that this guy might be violating the rules if he continued talking, Xilu Tia had no choice but to kindly remind him.
"Can you tell me this? I heard that such an organization will have stricter management."
"Well, it seems like you can't talk nonsense." He touched his head and looked at this quiet and gentle girl. He only looked away for a few seconds and looked away embarrassedly.
It was really easy to guess what this guy was thinking. The girl used her fingers to slightly tighten the hair beside her ears, then looked at the floor and waited quietly.
Time passed quietly, and about an hour later, Jegas and Kunlan came out.
"We have information, let's go." Jegas greeted the two of them.
The four people left the hall, and on the way Kunlan introduced the findings obtained during the ceremony.
"Currently Camilla should not be in the normal world, but has fallen into World of Shadows. Although we don't know how she got in as a first-year freshman, now that we have the direction, we can just follow the traces to find her."
"But World of Shadows is still a bit dangerous for you. If you want to go, you'd better be mentally prepared."
"No problem, I can protect myself." The girl nodded and replied.
Seeing that the black-haired girl chose to go, Buen on the side also immediately raised his hand.
"I'm going too. I should be able to help." Kunlan smiled and said nothing to his words and ideas. Jegas on the other side just glanced at Buen coldly. Without rejecting or praising, Inquisition Hall led the three of them out of the Inquisition Hall.
"Next, we are going to Mercer District in the west." According to the results of the ceremony, Camilla should be somewhere there, falling into World of Shadows."
"Time is urgent, we will set off by airship tonight."
"Yes." the three replied.
In the night, a small airship slowly rose with the sound of propellers. Sylutia looked at the brightly lit city below getting smaller and smaller, and the lights distributed in it were like golden sand grains on the dark earth.
This airship carried a group of people and flew towards Mercer District" in the west of the Mage Alliance.
