"Who is the Professor?"
The interrogation continued.
"The Professor is the Professor."
"Do you know his real name or identity?"
At that question, the captive's eyelids twitched violently. A pained expression immediately crossed his face as he muttered, repeating his earlier answer: "The Professor... is the Professor... our Professor... he gave us wings... so we could fly... the Professor is the Professor."
Clearly, the ravens had placed a more complex and powerful Consciousness Sealing Magic on that particular question.
The young wizards of the You Zui Hunting Team had no intention of watching this middle-aged wizard's head explode before their eyes. Dylan, acting as interrogator, immediately skipped over the question and continued.
"What are your duties?"
The pain on the captive's face quickly vanished, and his expression returned to blankness. In a numb voice, he replied, "Finding suitable test subjects, testing different reagents... studying."
"Studying? Studying what?"
"Standard Incantations: First Year University, by Yao Xiaomi; Sky Script: First Year University, by Emma-Knightley; Standard Potions: First Year University, by Li Qihuang; Basic I Ching Studies: First Year University, by Yi Jiazi..."
The captive rattled off a string of book titles and authors the young wizards knew very well, leaving everyone looking at one another. They felt as though they had heard a concept that was strangely familiar.
"What is your purpose?" Dylan did not waste time and continued questioning him.
"To become the next Griffin!"
For a moment, Tom Hansen's eyes seemed to shine, and there was a trace of passion in his voice. "I am willing to follow in the footsteps of the true knights of old. In the wilderness sunk deep in sleep—wandering wherever my horse may lead. My fate shall be bound to stirring legends, and following my own beliefs—will be the work of my life."
