Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

The chef at Grey Tower Wizarding Academy waved its eighteen tentacles, each holding cooking utensils, vegetables, or cooked dishes...

The enchanting aroma, combined with the fragrance of high-quality ingredients after cooking, whets the appetite of everyone who enters the cafeteria.

It is both a wizard's desire for magic and a biological instinct to pursue things.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs in the hall, covered with countless human skulls, their eye sockets gleaming with a faint blue light.

Various gemstones adorn the ceiling, not merely as a display of wealth, but to allow light to pass through them through reflection, creating a more beautiful and alluring mysterious glow.

"Thank you, one private room."

A tentacle reached out to Gu Chen and his two companions as they entered the cafeteria.

Ken's expression remained calm and composed.

Jim was already drooling.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, remained expressionless, appearing as if he had seen it all and was undoubtedly the leader among the three!

He walked in front, so the tentacle naturally reached out to him first.

There are three options on the menu:

"Dining in the lobby"

"Dinner in a private room"

"Takeaway"

Gu Chen chose to dine in a private room without hesitation.

"Thank you for your patronage. Seating fee is 3 Magic Stone Fragments."

"I'll pay."

Upon hearing that the seating fee was three magic stone fragments, Gu Chen's lips twitched involuntarily; of course, he had no money.

Ken, being quite perceptive, took out three magic stone fragments and paid the money.

Then, guided by a waiter with a fish head that had five heads, the three of them arrived at a private room.

Unlike Gu Chen's dilapidated little wooden house, this private room, although also a wooden structure, showed that the wood used as building material had a certain luster, and the passage of time had been etched into it.

Moreover, the wooden tableware and chairs in the private room also looked quite valuable.

Ken really didn't care. In his eyes, this simple decorating style couldn't be called "luxury" at all; it was just that the wood used was a bit old.

Gu Chen did care, but because he was proud, he kept his composure and didn't say anything.

Neither of them spoke. They each found a stool and sat down, their eyes seemingly filled with some unspoken thoughts.

Jim was genuinely confused. He felt like he was just a decoration from the very beginning. Who was he? Where was he? What was he going to do?

In his memory, Grandma Aiya's small, draft-free house was already his dream home. Now, seeing how luxurious this canteen is, with just one private room fulfilling his past fantasies about a beautiful little home...

Jim felt a mix of inferiority and admiration for Gu Chen's talent.

As expected of Teacher Gu Chen, although his place of residence is very shabby compared to this place, he frequents high-end places. He is indeed playing the mouse to eat the snake!

"Jim, please sit down too. Just find a place anywhere."

"Okay, teacher!"

Jim paced back and forth several times, but still dared not sit down.

Just because your teacher is great doesn't mean you are great too...

This place is clearly for important people who don't want to be messed with. What if he accidentally breaks something...?

It's not a big deal if Jim gets hurt, but if it causes any trouble for the teacher, he'll definitely feel guilty!

Gu Chen turned to look at Jim, who was pacing back and forth hesitantly, and realized that Jim was afraid of some ordinary things because of his past experiences...

He waved his hand, offered Jim a few words of comfort, and then let the boy sit down.

Normally, Gu Chen would never have let Jim stand for so long... To be honest, Gu Chen's attention was diverted today.

He was still thinking about the small characters on the black robe...

Why kill Jim?

Gu Chen's gaze gradually deepened... Things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, providing a reasonable explanation for what happened last night.

But that's not enough; these reasons are too far-fetched, and besides... we don't even know the reason.

The reason couldn't possibly be that Antinoya was capable of using arcane arts; according to Ken, she was either a very powerful wizard or she performed a difficult ritual!

The man's goal was to get the young lady of the family, Alyssa, to kill a good-for-nothing who couldn't even pass the freshman assessment and couldn't even achieve his dream of becoming a junior apprentice.

Thinking about this, Gu Chen felt his mind was in complete chaos...

"The only person who knows these things right now is Ken."

"And what I want to ask will undoubtedly involve Jim..."

"As my student, I'm currently only at the beginner apprentice level. It's unrealistic for me to bring Jim into the water... and it would interfere with my investigation."

Gu Chen glanced at Ken, then at Jim, and finally rang the service bell on the table.

"Give me a 'Kiss of the Black Forest, See You Tomorrow' and a 'Shadowmoon Grey Wolf Leg'."

"Willing to pay."

Upon hearing this, Ken immediately looked up at Gu Chen!

This is certainly not because of the money; these are all very common magical dishes, costing only about 3 magic stone fragments...

However, Ken, as a mind wizard, knew very well that "Kiss of the Black Forest, See You Tomorrow" used the nectar of the "Black Forest Flower" as a key ingredient in the cocktail, combined with a large amount of high-proof liquor, which would cause the drinker to fall asleep quickly.

Of course, this magical dish isn't simply meant to give you a good night's sleep, or to be used as a sleeping pill.

The key to "Kiss of the Black Forest, See You Tomorrow" is that drop of "Nectar of the Black Forest Flower," which can plunge the drinker's mind into complete darkness, in which no past memories, pain, or sorrow will appear.

It is complete darkness, and then the user's spirit will fall asleep in this darkness. When they wake up again, their mental strength has often been fully restored.

"Shadowmoon Grey Wolf Leg Meat" is also a dish that leans towards the spiritual realm. The Shadowmoon Grey Wolf is a first-tier magical beast that often appears on the night of a full moon. People who encounter it will involuntarily recall their past, and the Shadowmoon Grey Wolf will seize this opportunity to attack!

Therefore, besides being delicious, juicy, and nutritious, the main function of Shadowmoon Grey Wolf's leg meat is to serve as a means of evoking memories.

Gu Chen held the menu that had floated over to him with levitation magic when he entered the private room, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

Ken certainly knew what this meant...

These two dishes weren't chosen randomly; the teacher probably selected them precisely to uncover some truth...

The three of them remained silent in tacit agreement.

Ken was guessing what Gu Chen was thinking about.

Jim was constantly observing that children from the slums always seemed insecure.

As for Gu Chen... in his mind, several clues pieced together, but then, like glass forcibly glued together, they would shatter at the slightest breeze...

Fragmented clues, a truth shrouded in mystery...

The crucial point, once again, fell to Jim!
