Chapter 279 The murderer is among you
This simple confrontation made the Casa clan, who originally wanted to show off their strength, feel very uncomfortable.

After visiting some of the iconic buildings of the Alpine Academy, Hecasa and several of his retainers went to rest.

This made Dean Perry very unhappy. How could she talk to Hekasa about that matter when she made Hekasa so upset?

"What on earth is this Hekasa thinking? He is still hesitating to cooperate with us. Doesn't he understand the current situation?"

Dean Perry said somewhat annoyed.

Edith stood by and handed Dean Perry the freshly brewed tea without daring to say a word.

Dean Perry paced back and forth, looking very annoyed.

Not long after, a student came and told Edith that dinner was ready.

Edith nodded and put the teacup away.

Just when I was about to talk to Dean Perry, another person came running over in a hurry.

It was Sheryl who had always followed the Casa family.

Heidi is Mr. Galan's student, Edith is Dean Perry's student, and Cheryl is Mr. Branchi's student.

The three of them are the strongest and most representative students in the academy.

Generally, when powerful forces come to exchange ideas, they are the ones who receive and take charge of them.

"what happened again?"

Edith asked.

"The little duke... the little duke seems to be ill."

Cheryl said with a panicked look.

"Is he sick? He grew up near the Alps, so he doesn't have any problems with acclimatization. How could he get sick?"

Dean Perry immediately became anxious.

It's really a series of troubles. The cooperation has not been concluded yet, and Hekasa has problems again!

Dean Perry, Edith, Teacher Jia Lan, Heidi and others immediately rushed to Hekasa's dormitory.

When they got there, they found four retainers of the Casa family standing guard at the door with hostile looks on their faces, not letting anyone in.

"I'm a healing mage, there shouldn't be any problem if I go take a look, right?"

Teacher Jia Lan asked.

"Well, come in with me."

The red-robed retainer said.

This retainer in red clothes is the most powerful one around Hekasa, and his cultivation level is almost the same as that of the teacher in the Alpine Academy.

Hekasa's bedroom was already in a mess. The ancient and expensive decorations were smashed to pieces, and even the bed Hekasa was lying on was in a mess.

A woman in her thirties was cleaning carefully, not daring to make any noise.

Jia Lan took a look at the unconscious Hekasa, and after noticing the black marks on his neck, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"I have already reported this matter to the nobles, and the elders will be here soon. If our little duke is safe, your Alpine Academy will no longer have anything to do with our Casa."

"If anything happens to the young Duke, you, the people of the Alpine Academy, will be buried with him!"

The old retainer in red said in an extremely sharp tone.

"Who has he been in contact with?"

Teacher Jia Lan completely ignored the man's bad words and asked seriously.

"There is no one else but you."

The old retainer in red said.

"You were always by his side, how could you not notice it?"

Teacher Jia Lan then asked.

"What do you mean? Would we harm our own little master?"

The old retainer in red said angrily.

"We will not do such a thing. Besides, we still need the support of the little duke for some things. There is no reason to murder him."

"This is an extremely sophisticated poison seal and curse. If you always have doubts like this and don't tell me the truth, it will be difficult for me to find a way to save your little duke."

Teacher Jia Lan said.

"Humph!" The red-clothed old retainer looked quite unhappy.
But reason told him that he had to rely on this healing wizard to help Hecasa relieve her pain.

Walking out of the dormitory, Teacher Jia Lan's face looked extremely solemn.

Dean Perry wanted to know the result very much, but he knew that this was not the place to talk, so he asked everyone to move to the conference room.

"what happened??"

Dean Perry demanded.

"Hekasa was cursed with a poison seal."

Teacher Jia Lan said.

"How can this be!!"

Dean Perry looked incredulous.

"It's very serious and it threatens his life."

Teacher Jia Lan said solemnly.

"Teacher Jia Lan, even you can't break this poison seal curse?"

Heidi asked.

Jialan's healing magic is quite outstanding, and he also possesses very powerful abilities in detoxification and removing curses.

Hekasa's situation shouldn't be a problem for Jia Lan.

"If it's just the poison seal and curse alone, it won't be a problem for me."

"But this is a chain of poison spells, using curse magic to control the poison, and then using the poison to strengthen the curse!"

Teacher Jia Lan said with a serious look.

"What does this mean?"

Dean Perry was not good at this at all and asked with a confused look on his face.

"This means I am faced with two choices, to remove the curse first or to remove the poison first."

Teacher Jia Lan said.

"Does it make any difference?"

Dean Perry inquired.

"If the order is right, the little duke will be safe. If the order is wrong, the other thing will instantly become nearly a hundred times stronger."

Teacher Jia Lan said.

"Nearly a hundred times? Doesn't this mean directly killing people?!"

Teacher Jia Lan nodded.

Everyone was horrified. Who on earth would cast such a terrible curse on Hekasa?

"Dong dong dong~~~"

A burst of urgent voices rang out, and everyone was startled. When they came to their senses, they realized that someone was knocking on the door outside.

What I just heard was indeed frightening and terrifying, and I became a little nervous.

"Teacher Branqi, you are finally here... Why are you here? Get out, we are discussing important matters!"

Cheryl initially went to meet Branquil, but found Qin Zhan standing behind Branquil, and immediately changed her expression.

"Although Hekasa is a super-class wizard, he is just a waste. He doesn't even know that he is cursed."

"But you probably don't want to see him die here, otherwise your Alpine Academy will be in great trouble."

Qin Zhan raised his eyebrows and continued, "So, I think you should welcome my arrival, because I know who cast the curse on Hekasa."

"What did you say?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

"You heard me right. I only know who cast the curse on Hekasa!"

Qin Xiao smiled slightly and continued: "That person is right here, among us!"

After hearing this, Dean Perry and the others fell silent, with an expression of disbelief on everyone's face.
