#140 - Chapter 140 The Missing Person
“An invitation from the War College?”
Wu Wei opened the envelope in his hand.
Sure enough, unlike the “shabby” school invitation, an extremely luxurious invitation appeared before his eyes.
At the very top of the envelope was engraved a mark of a magic wand and a long sword, and the mark was adorned with golden blood all around.
Even the invitation itself was not made of ordinary paper, but of some extremely retro parchment.
In addition, just holding this envelope, Wu Wei could feel a strange war impulse erupting within his body.
And the longer he held this invitation, the more obvious and uncontrollable this impulse became.
“This invitation has actually been doubly reinforced with faith and magic, and it can even be brought into the real world. This is truly rare!”
Unlike Wu Wei, who was feeling the impulse, Su Yingxue, with her wealth of knowledge and attention to detail, immediately noticed the difference in this invitation.
“Of course, the address of the War College is not in the real world, but on a world in the Lord Era.”
“It is not a college that exists in the real world, but a college in the Lord Era.”
“So this invitation is essentially a materialized teleportation coordinate!”
“You can take this invitation back to the Lord Era and obtain a plane coordinate for a teleportation gate.”
Speaking of this, Wu Wei couldn't help but take a few more glances at the invitation.
To be honest, this was also the first time he had personally seen an item from the Lord Era that could be brought into reality.
“The War College is different from other colleges.”
“Because the purpose of their college's establishment is only one thing: to cultivate the strongest and most warlike lords for the empire.”
“It is said that the educational subjects and methods there far exceed those of the aristocratic families and the royal family, and even many princes and princesses from aristocratic families choose to study at the War College.”
“I don’t know the specific educational methods....”
Su Yuanzheng blushed a little when he said this, after all, he was not so outstanding back then, so he was not qualified to enter the War College at that time.
Therefore, he could only talk about it in general terms; he really didn't know the more specific details.
“The invitation in your hands is the key to entering the War College.”
“And that ball is an opportunity for you to enter the War College.”
“So, are you two going?”
Su Yuanzheng asked.
“No.”
Wu Wei answered very crisply.
“Yes!”
Su Yingxue also answered very crisply, and glared at Wu Wei at the same time.
Seeing this, Su Yuanzheng smiled.
The development of things was about what he expected.
But before they could continue to say anything, the car stopped, and the discussion about the War College ended there.
Because they had arrived at the Royal Auction House in Linjiang City.
As royal property, even Wu Wei was greatly shocked when he saw the Royal Auction House for the first time.
The huge area, the magnificent decoration, and the ubiquitous security and other things made Wu Wei begin to calculate how many resource points this building could be exchanged for in the Lord Era.
Cough cough.
Although thinking like this was very wrong.
But Wu Wei really thought so.
“Everyone, please.”
After checking the personal terminals of Wu Wei and the others, a butler-like figure led Wu Wei and the others slowly into the auction house.
It must be said that as a supporting building for the Lord Era in the real world, this building gathered the largest number of lords Wu Wei had ever seen.
And Wu Wei had at least heard the names of many of these lords.
Even some extremely small number of lords, Wu Wei had learned about their deeds.
It can be said that at this moment, Wu Wei truly entered the lord class.
Before this, he could only be considered an ordinary person.
The dividing line between lords and ordinary people began here.
Thinking of this, Wu Wei finally couldn't help but take a few more glances at these lords.
But what he didn't expect was that because of this glance, an unexpected trouble appeared before his eyes.
“Wait, are you Wu Wei?”
“Please don’t go yet.”
Just as the butler was leading Wu Wei and the others towards the auction that was about to begin, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face stopped Wu Wei and the others.
Moreover, he called out Wu Wei's name with incredible precision.
This was very unusual.
At least, in the eyes of Wu Wei and Su Yuanzheng, this was very unusual.
“What do you want to do?”
Before Wu Wei could say anything, Su Yuanzheng stood in front of Wu Wei and blocked the middle-aged man with a gloomy face.
“Don’t misunderstand.”
The middle-aged man with a gloomy face showed a smile that was even gloomier than his face.
“I am an in-law of the Gu family, my name is Wang Wendao, Head of the Su family, we met a few years ago.”
After speaking, Wang Wendao extended his hand to Su Yuanzheng.
Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to get closer to the other party.
“Wang Wendao, I know you....”
But for some reason, Su Yuanzheng seemed to have a very bad impression of this man named Wang Wendao, and even skipped the handshake.
“What do you want to do? Why are you looking for Wu Wei.”
“Hehe, it’s like this, I just want to ask Wu Wei a small question.”
“Really, just a small question.”
Wang Wendao bypassed Su Yuanzheng, who was blocking Wu Wei, and said to Wu Wei.
“Mr. Wu Wei, may I ask, do you remember the eldest son of our Gu family, Gu Changqing?”
Gu Changqing....
It didn't take long for Wu Wei to remember the name of this “small fry”.
“Yes, I remember.”
“What is it?”
“It’s like this.”
Wang Wendao sneered and said to Wu Wei.
“The eldest son of our Gu family, Gu Changqing, disappeared in the Lord Trial you participated in.”
Hearing this, Su Yuanzheng's face became very bad.
Because he vaguely felt that a great trouble seemed to have come to his family silently.
“That’s right, although this sounds very bizarre, the fact is that Gu Changqing disappeared before the end of this Lord Trial!”
“And you, Mr. Wu Wei, were the last person to see him before he disappeared!”
“Can I, presumptuously, ask you....”
“Do you know what happened to Gu Changqing?”
“Or rather, what did you do to our Gu Changqing?”
