Wizard of science

"Stop!" Dale Duncans said with a dark face.

Dana stopped and stared with wide pale blue eyes.

Dale Duncans took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his emotions, and persuaded in a soft voice: "Dina, I know you like that kid Karl very much, but he really can't guarantee your happiness."

"His father has the title of earl, father." Dana said, "And his father only has one child, and he will eventually inherit the earl. As a countess, can't I guarantee happiness?"

"Earl? Countess?" Dale Duncans said with a bit of disdain in his eyes, "Forget about earl, what about marquis? Have you ever heard of the family at No. 12 Bauhinia Street? His family is the best My precious daughter married to the south and became a marquise, but didn’t she come back dejected some time ago?

Besides, although Karl's father has the title of earl, he is just an honorary earl without a territory. He makes a living by cultivating relationships with people in the palace. If you have brighter eyes, you can see that the inside of his home is not like that. It looks so beautiful.

In addition, even if he is a powerful earl with a fiefdom, Karl's body, which is weaker than yours, cannot deter his subordinates at all, let alone lead an army. Sooner or later, he will end up being bullied and annexed. "

"What, father, do you mean that I have to marry a man whose neck is thicker than his thighs and who is extremely rude so that I can be secure and happy for the rest of my life?" Dana argued with complete disapproval.

"Of course I didn't mean that..." Dale Duncans shook his head, lowered his voice, and said softly, as if talking to himself, "It's just that in this world, there is a force that is more powerful than power and force. Of… that is the real guarantee…”

"Father, what are you talking about?" Dana asked inaudibly.

"call--"

Dale Duncans took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, waved his hand, and said to Dana: "I mean, you are not allowed to meet that Karl again in the future. If you dare to disobey, I will let him People teach him a lesson. You know clearly that I have this ability."

"Hmph." Dana snorted and continued to walk outside, "It's up to you, you teach him a lesson, it's none of my business. But let me make it clear to you, I don't go out to find him at night, but to find him. Your good friend is the daughter of a scholar from Suge University, and my good friend - Hina. She was kidnapped two days ago. I heard that she met a mysterious figure and his men and rescued her. Although she was rescued , but she is still very scared. I want to comfort her and listen to her detailed experience..."

Dana's voice slowly faded away with the person, and finally disappeared.

Looking at the direction Dana left, Dale Duncans stared for a long time, finally withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, walked to the wall and pulled a rope tied with a red ribbon.

"Jingle Bell……"

The rope was connected to a bell in the far room, which rang rapidly.

After a while, a butler who looked older than Dale Duncans and had almost white hair hurriedly walked in the door, bowed and asked: "Sir, you called me?"

"The daughter of a scholar from Su Ge was recently kidnapped and rescued. Do you know about this?"

"I know, sir. I heard that it was the notorious Black Spider Thieves Group, but for some unknown reason, all the members of the thieves group were killed in the sewers of Third Street. Miss Hina took the opportunity to escape. Officials are investigating this. thing, but there doesn’t seem to be any progress.”

"Send some of our people out. If you have any news, tell me in time."

"yes."

"In addition, Dana went to visit Scholar Su Ge. Two people were sent to follow her without showing up. But if...she didn't go to Scholar Su Ge, just bring her back directly."

"yes."

"Furthermore..." Dale Duncans said slowly after thinking, "Mr. Li He, the man I invited to dinner just now, sent a few people to investigate his background."

"Isn't he a guest?" the butler asked in surprise, looking up at Dale Duncans.

"It is indeed a guest." Dale Duncans did not deny it. "However, he is not from the Lensa noble circle. His identity is unknown and he has never been in contact with us before. Now he comes to us directly with the first-generation Duncans Ring. Here, it’s better to be cautious. When investigating, try to be as secretive as possible, and don’t let the other party discover it, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding.”

"Understood." The old butler nodded, "If it doesn't work out, I can go and do some activities myself. Sir, although my bones are a bit old, I haven't lost all the foundation I left behind as a blood knight."

"That's not necessary." Dale Duncans waved his hand, "Although I am old, I can still sense that the other party does not have that kind of power. So let those young guys go, it is enough."

"good."

The old butler turned and left.

Dale Duncans turned the emerald ring on his left index finger, wondering what he was thinking about. After thinking for a long time, I went upstairs.

…

Under the cover of night.

After Li He left Dale Duncans' residence, he did not rush back to his dormitory in the university, but took a stroll on the university campus.

While observing the internal environment of the university, I thought about how to start the investigation.

As he was walking, a black mist appeared next to him, and the voice of the devil Alex floated out of the mist: "Master, it seems that someone is following you."

"Well, it's been a while." Li He nodded and said, "Depending on the situation, it should be sent by Principal Dale."

"Didn't he treat you as a distinguished guest?"

"Distinguished guests are also guests. They are not one of our own. You must understand them."

"Then I'll go and 'receive' you?"

"Go ahead, don't be too harsh, just let them sleep for a while. After all, I may have to stay on this campus for a while, so don't make it too ugly."

"Understood." Alex said, and the black mist floated into the surrounding night with his voice and disappeared.

After a while, a faint scream came from behind Li He.

"ah!"

"ah!"

…

In the blink of an eye, the next day.

Early morning in the dining room of Dale Duncan's residence.

Dale Duncans had finished his simple breakfast and was drinking hot tea when the old butler Balin walked in, his brows furrowed as if he was worried about something.

"How are you, Balin?" Dale Duncans noticed the other party's appearance and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"Sir, yesterday I sent three young men to investigate Mr. Li He, but..."

After a pause, Balin said solemnly: "But so far, no one has come back."
