Chapter 57 Apprentice City Under Lockdown, Classes Suspended

Dorothy, who was in the kitchen, heard the entire conversation between the two.

Leonce told Elor many details of the case.

For example, they have already used many search methods.

I've tried everything, from modifying hunting dogs to divination magic.

However, the killer was very cautious, and the clues that could be found were minimal.

Dorothy didn't care who the killer was.

But just now, Elor said that her family sent a letter.

This is a signal.

It's highly likely that Elor will be summoned back to his family before he has even completed five years in the City of Apprentices.

However, Dorothy is currently unable to solve the case; she will not pursue it and knows very little about it.

"Tsk!"

Dorothy suddenly remembered something: on the first day of the patrol's inspection, on her way back, she noticed something unusual.

But at that time she didn't want to meddle, so she ignored it.

Looking back now, if I had just been a little curious back then, the clues to the incident would have easily led me to the case, and both the City of Apprentices and the Mage Guild would have come looking for me.

In the end, he might have been the one to take the blame.

But to my utter surprise, while I was unharmed, the embers of the fire eventually reached Elor.

Dorothy felt a little irritated by this thought.

However, the conversation between Leona and Elor took a turn for the better.

Leon sighed. "We might be a bit more tired starting tomorrow. The pressure from the Mage's Guild is too great. They're going to conduct a thorough search. They've sent all the high-ranking mages to guard the gates of the Apprentice City, checking everyone who's trying to leave."

"You teaching assistants are to search the entire city."

Upon hearing this news, Elor stopped massaging Leon's shoulders and walked to the sofa, pushing Leon aside.

"That'll be so busy, and then I won't be able to attend classes."

"That's right, all courses have been suspended. Until the murderer is caught, the apprentices will have to learn on their own." Leons nodded.

At that moment, Dorothy came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of stewed soup.

Leons looked at Dorothy and said, "Dorothy, stay home for now and don't wander off."

"Although I don't know what happened, if that's what you're saying, then okay."

Dorothy pretended not to know anything.

"It just so happens that I still have a few magic books that I haven't finished copying. Now I can safely finish copying them all."

Dorothy had a smile on her face, looking like she was very lucky.

The last time Leona came, she slept on the sofa.

But now, because the City of Apprentices is not peaceful, she may have to live here for a long time, so sleeping on the sofa is not appropriate.

However, there are no spare rooms available in Elor.

So Elor suggested, "I was thinking of letting Lily sleep in the same room as me, but that would leave Dorothy all alone, which would be too pitiful."

No, I am not pitiful.

Dorothy thought to herself that she didn't really care about such things.

Besides, I'm only staying here temporarily, so I can arrange things however I want with Elor.

But Elor's next words surprised Dorothy.

"So I was thinking, how about the three of us sleep in one room?"

"Dorothy, you're moving into my room too."

"Don't worry, my room is very big."

Elor looked at Dorothy with a grin.

Dorothy's eyelids twitched, and she turned to look at Leonce, who looked very expectant.

Lyons felt a sense of happiness just hearing about sleeping in the same room as her best friend.

Dorothy stretched out her left hand and gently rubbed her temples.

"I know your room is big. I hope there's something interesting inside?"

I'm saying this purely to vent.

Then Elor gave him a look that said, "How did you know?"

"Oh! You actually knew?! When did you see it? I just bought a doll recently, and it was quite expensive, costing me a lot of money."

Ailor touched the back of her head shyly.

"Haha, I'm all grown up now, it's a little embarrassing to still buy stuffed animals. Do you want to take a look?"

Dorothy said helplessly, "What if I say no?"

Elor didn't answer, but her smile grew even brighter.

She turned to look at Leonce.

"Lily, after you finish eating, go and move Dorothy's blanket to my room. I'll tidy up the room a bit, and how about the three of us sleep on the floor together?"

Leons nodded. "Okay."

Dorothy's consent was not needed at all.

After dinner, Dorothy could only watch helplessly as Leona went into her room and then came out carrying her blanket.

Elor had already laid out a wool blanket on the floor. When Dorothy entered Elor's bedroom, she and Lyons had already changed into their white nightgowns and were snuggled into bed waiting.

Elor patted the blanket.

"Dorothy, come here quickly, we specially reserved the middle seat for you."

Dorothy didn't immediately get into bed; she took in the layout of Elor's room.

A simple wooden bed, wardrobe, and dressing mirror, with green plants growing by the window.

A desk and bookshelf are placed near the window.

The doll that Elor had just bought was placed on the desk.

The doll is shaped like a blonde wooden girl, and it is indeed very cute. Next to the doll is a dress that has been changed out of her clothes.

"Don't stare at that. I was just momentarily blinded by greed. I'll donate her to an orphanage in a while."

Ailor covered her face with the blanket, feeling a little shy.

Dorothy simply commented, "Good taste, this little thing is pretty."

Elor became even more shy.

Dorothy is now facing a very important decision.

Now she's going to sleep between Elor and Lyons!

Gudong~

Swallowing hard, Dorothy looked at Elor, who was covering herself up, on her left. Good, she couldn't see anything.

Then there's Leonce on the right.

This young girl, who has a figure that is exceptionally good even among her peers, is sitting there.

Wearing a pristine white dress, her arms, glowing softly under the gilded lamp, rested naturally on the blanket, drawing attention.

Dorothy wanted to say that she was already used to a girl's body.

But that's only for myself.

Getting close to a girl is still too difficult for her.

Leona tilted her head slightly, looking at Dorothy who was still in a daze.

"Dorothy? Why are you still standing there? It's getting cold at night, you'll catch a cold if you don't come over."

"oh oh."

Dorothy felt her mouth was a little dry and her body was stiff. She carefully went to the middle, turned around, lifted the blanket, and lay down.

When I lifted the covers, a faint, sweet citrus scent wafted into my nose.

She quickly crawled into bed, immediately closed her eyes, and silently practiced meditation to calm herself down.

Leons watched Dorothy move quickly and chuckled, "She's in such a hurry."

She tucked Dorothy in and then reached out to light the alchemical lamp.

As the lights went out, Dorothy heard a rustling sound coming from her right side; it was Elor.

Then came a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

Then Dorothy felt her right hand being grasped by a cold, icy hand!
