Chapter 85: Dinner
the next morning.
Deep inside Lunda University, in the five-story stone building, is the principal's office.
The farce of the previous night has ended, and the room has been rearranged, but the "lively" shadow of the previous night can still be vaguely seen on the slightly skewed bookshelves and some damaged books.
Principal Dale Duncans sat at his desk, thinking about what happened the night before and what lecturer Moko said about Li He.
As we all know, this Moko lecturer has a very weird temper. He can't deal with almost everyone in the school. He has always been extremely proud and thinks that everyone except himself is a complete fool. And if there are students who fail to pass his class, they are not worthy of being called human beings.
But it was this kind of person who gave Li Hyuk an exaggerated evaluation.
He could see from Li He's draft paper that Li He did have some ability and some talent in the field of mathematics. He should be regarded as a relatively outstanding existence, but Moko calling him a "master" was still a bit too much.
However, he is always a good seedling, a smart seedling.
"What a good seedling..." Duncans whispered.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk..." There was a knock on the door, and Vice Principal Mira walked in.
"Principal Duncans, are you looking for me?" Mira asked after entering the door.
Duncans nodded and said the purpose: "Ms. Mira, you told me before that Mr. Li He, a distinguished guest of our school, often goes to our school library, right? So what books does he read more? ?"
"He basically reads books in various categories. The amount of reading and the number of borrowed books make people wonder whether he has really read them or just flipped through them." Mira said. , "But what's a little special is that he seems to be particularly interested in some books related to wizards. After borrowing and reading similar books, he asked me many times if I have more." "Books related to wizards?"
Duncan Si narrowed his eyes, "This is interesting."
After thinking for a few seconds, Duncans looked at Mira and said: "Ms. Mira, help me invite this distinguished guest from our school. If he is free, I hope to be able to meet him. Let's have lunch with him."
"Okay." Mira nodded, turned and left.
He returned after a while, but brought a piece of news that surprised Duncans: "What, he said he didn't have time at noon? Did he say it himself?" "Yes." Mira nodded, "He said he had something to do at noon
. , I have time in the evening, so let me express my apology to you."
"..." Duncans pursed his lips and smiled, "Well, it seems that our distinguished guest is really busy, even more so than me, the principal. They are all busy. Since he is not free at noon, then... let him honor me and have dinner with me."
"Okay." Mira turned and left again.
Duncans stood up, walked a few steps in the office, thought for a moment and pulled the rope tied with a ribbon in front of the window.
"Dingle bell!"
The bell in another room rang, and Bahrain arrived shortly.
"Bahrain, you go back to my residence and tell Dana and Dai Li that I will invite a guest to have dinner tonight, and they will be together." Duncans said, paused, and reminded emphatically, "Especially Dai Li. Na, tell her not to run around, let alone meet some aristocratic boy who only knows how to talk. Stay here tonight, otherwise be careful to restrain her!" "Yes,
sir." Balin responded respectfully. , left the office and went to Duncans' residence.
...
In a blink of an eye, night falls.
The dinner was held as scheduled in the large dining room on the second floor of Duncans' residence.
Four people were sitting around the huge dining table, namely Dale Duncans, the other party's eldest daughter Dana, the other party's youngest daughter Dai Li, and Li He.
Li He glanced at the food on the table and found that it was richer than last time.
There is almost no room for all kinds of dishes on the table, and the tempting aroma fills the entire restaurant.
He was a little curious as to why Duncans had invited him to dinner again. Speaking of which, since the last conversation and not getting any effective information about wizards from the other party, he basically gave up on Duncans as a channel for obtaining information and turned his energy to other channels.
Recently, under his guidance, Devil Alex has found a clue - there are indeed people at Lensa University collecting all kinds of strange ores and herbs, especially a kind of blood-red wild flower growing in the cemetery. Pay a high price and collect as many as you can. This wild flower is called the snake-blood flower. Legend has it that it is an evil snake that grows when its blood flows on the ground after being injured. It carries an ominous curse.
Alex has already found someone who specializes in finding this kind of flower for sale in cemeteries. As long as he finds the purchaser, he can follow the clues to find out the potential wizards at Lensa University.
In addition, many of his studies have not stopped and are constantly being carried out and seeking breakthroughs.
At noon, he was conducting the test of "Blood Fusion Agent No. 7" as planned, so when he heard Duncans' invitation, he declined politely.
Unexpectedly, the other party invited him to have dinner again.
Originally, he planned to sort out the information, but considering that he still had to give the other party some face in the other party's school, and being a little curious about the other party's purpose, he agreed immediately.
But when we arrived at the dinner, we found that Duncans, apart from solemnly introducing his two daughters, was engaged in unproductive small talk.
This made Li He even more strange. Could it be that the principal came to him just to connect with him?
While thinking about it, he cut a piece of meat from the plump steak and put it into his mouth to chew.
At this time, Duncans' eldest daughter Dana suddenly stood up, said that she was full, said hello briefly, said goodbye and left.
Duncans looked a little unhappy, but didn't say much. Seeing that his youngest daughter Dai Li had almost finished eating, he waved her hand to let her go, and then she looked at Li He and spoke.
"Mr. Li He, is the food today not bad?"
"Very good."
"As long as you like it. For me, food is a rare enjoyment in life. Without food, life is incomplete and lacking. Colorful,” Duncans lamented.
After a pause, Duncans suddenly changed the topic, with a slightly abrupt twist, and said: "However, the biggest color in my life is still my daughters, who are my lifelong concern. I hope they can live happily forever."
Li He listened to Duncans' words, and it was obvious that there was a follow-up, but the other party did not follow it. He just said: "Mr. Li He, please come to the study with me." "Okay." Li He responded, stood up, and followed Duncans
. Walk to the side.
With a creaking sound, a heavy black wooden door was pushed open and he walked into Duncans' private study.
