He exhaled softly, glancing at Colin and his companions almost imperceptibly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Mo'er took only Colin and his companions to Black Castle, and obviously, it wasn't without reason!
On one hand, he portrayed himself as an innocent outsider; on the other, once at Black Castle, under Mo'er's scrutiny, the fate of Colin and his companions was uncertain.
After all, a genuine Second Rank Wizard had died in this incident!
If they could pin this disaster on Colin and his companions, making Yasi appear the victim, the family's reputation would not only remain intact but they could also seize the opportunity to avenge Yasi!
It was no wonder he was a clansman serving at Black Castle; while he himself was still thinking about how to extricate himself and mitigate the impact on the family, Mo'er was already planning to turn this negative situation into a positive!
Field felt a subtle sense of joy, a thrill of vengeance tingling his heart.
"Why doesn't he join us to Black Castle for the investigation?" At this moment, Atbolde looked at him and asked in a deep voice.
Field stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Mo'er, but remained silent.
"During the recent inquiry, I have established clearly—Field is indeed the steward in charge of the Witch Array in the East District, and today is indeed the scheduled maintenance day.
Like the other two Black Castle Inspectors, he was merely a passerby drawn by the commotion of the fight."
Mo'er slowly turned and calmly explained, "According to regulations, personnel not directly involved in the incident may leave after routine questioning and await further summons."
"Do you have any more questions?"
He anticipated that by letting Field leave, Colin and others would inevitably become discontented and ask such questions.
However, Field had performed excellently; there was nothing to pick at in terms of regulations, and naturally, he was willing to lend a helping hand.
Every Pureblood Wizard Family is a united family; this is the very foundation of their status.
Under such circumstances, unless dealing with a "unique" wizard like Yasi, clansmen would not hesitate to help as much as they could.
Atbolde frowned deeply, sensing something ominous.
Beside him, Bulvo and his companion remained quiet; their target was Colin.
The incident here, by regulation, was under Mo'er, who happened to be patrolling; they could at most assist.
Colin glanced at the silent Bulvo and his companion, then at Field, who seemed calm but had a trace of mockery in his eye, feeling like he was sinking deeper into a dark tale.
On this cold snowy night, he truly realized the power of the Pureblood Families for the first time.
The newly arrived Black Castle Inspector, Mo'er, was clearly acquainted with Field, which he had noticed when Mo'er arrived and exchanged looks with Field.
If he wasn't mistaken, this new inspector was probably also a Hidosh.
"Mr. Mo'er," Colin thought and decided to make one last attempt.
He calmly stated:
"The situation at the scene is clear—this is the residence of Instructor Atbolde, Yasi was the outsider coming in, it is obvious who the intruder is, we were merely defending ourselves in response."
"Moreover, what Field claimed is clearly a lie, which the gentlemen, Bulvo, can testify to."
Colin suddenly turned his head towards Bulvo and Keith.
Doubt surfaced on the faces of Bulvo and Keith.
Colin continued, "You gentlemen were probably following me all along, right?"
Before the surprised Bulvo could respond, he added:
"Then, you might also be aware that when I arrived, the Witch Array maintenance barrier was already set up. I had to use force to break through it to enter.
Surely Field must have noticed something during this process, didn't he?"
"Indeed, Field did appear."
He then shifted his gaze back to Field.
"However, upon your arrival, you did not stop us; instead, you let us continue into the instructor's home.
At the same time, Yasi Hidosh was surrounding and attacking my instructor in the courtyard… I think, this should at least prove that Field was aware, right?"
Listening to Colin, Bulvo and Keith were gradually persuaded.
As a Second Rank Wizard, it was implausible for Field to not notice that the barrier was broken, and someone had intruded.
Nevertheless, before Bulvo could speak, Mo'er slowly began to speak.
"Is that so?" He turned to look at Field.
"All lies." Field said calmly, shaking his head: "Their entry into the barrier was just an oversight on my part—the standard maintenance witchcraft barrier has no alert function."
Mo'er nodded and looked back at Colin, continuing to inquire:
"Any more questions?"
Colin fell silent, looking towards Bulvo and his companion; however, these two Black Castle Inspectors chose to remain silent at this moment.
"The Pureblood Families, truly impressive," said the instructor beside him in a calm, mocking tone.
Lillian pursed her lips and clenched her fists.
Turning his gaze away, Colin no longer harbored any hope for Bulvo and his companion, and began to carefully consider the situation in front of him.
Mo'er's attitude seemed officially neutral, but without a doubt, his intentions were not benign.
Little did he anticipate that after successfully retaliating against Yasi, he would face a new crisis so soon.
Pureblood Families… Colin quietly mused.
For some reason, at that moment, he envisioned bloodthirsty plants named Pureblood Families, greedily rooting themselves in the soil called Witch School!
