When Mina appeared, the smugness in Louis's eyes vanished, and Mina called him out for seeking personal revenge in public, which embarrassed him greatly.

Mina walked gracefully to Du Chen's side, her arm draped over his shoulder, and said with a sweet smile, "Little handsome guy, just watch. Your sister will handle this for you!" She then walked up to Louis, one hand on her slender waist and the other pointing at the Minister of Supervision, and scolded him in a stern voice, "You little brat, Francis is under my protection. If you dare touch him, you're picking a fight with me! Don't think your uncle, Ricardo, can protect you. I am also the vice director of the school office!"

Louis was speechless under Mina's scolding. He felt indignant, but the truth was that he was still a student and couldn't afford to offend the school leaders.

"Alright, let's forget about this incident today! Take your people and leave!" Mina waved her hand impatiently and stopped Louis, who was about to leave. In front of him, she said to Du Chen, "If he ever dares to bully you again, tell me! Louis, you may leave now!"

Louis gritted his teeth and said, "Professor Mina, although I am a student, I am also the Count of Divine Wind..."

"I know, I know, does the Count of Divine Wind want enough respect from me? But ****, this is the School of Fighter Gods, and I am a professor! Do you believe that with just one word from me, I can make all your plant-related courses fail? By then, even if you are a Duke, you won't be able to change your grades!" Mina interrupted him harshly.

Du Chen watched the scene and thought to himself, this beautiful spy is quite hot-headed.

However, she was a character who didn't do anything without a benefit. There must be something she wanted from him.

Louis left with his people, and Steve and his gang cheered, "Wow, Steve, is that your brother? He's actually with Professor Mina..."

"You brats, shut up! Get out of my sight!" Professor Mina shouted.

Steve winked at Du Chen and left with a smile.

In the alley, only Mina and Du Chen were left. Du Chen smiled and said, "Professor, what do you need from me?"

"What kind of way is this to speak? Can't your sister look for you when there's nothing to do?" Mina pretended to be angry and then smiled, "But this time, I really need your help! I've been looking for you all day. When I went to your dormitory this morning, that damn Snowbeast told me you weren't there. That damn Snowbie!"

Du Chen nodded, "Tell me first, why did Louis bother me! I don't even know him!"

"Don't you know?" Mina wondered, "Firstly, he is from the Yakin race, and they have a grudge against the Einstein continent, especially the Lanning people! Secondly..." She looked at Du Chen's puzzled eyes and smiled, "This morning, Philip fired him from the alchemy laboratory, saying that there were limited assistant positions. If you joined, he had to leave!"

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Why is that? Why did Vice Dean Philip fire an experienced assistant for a newcomer? Isn't it better to have more assistants?" Du Chen asked.

Mina tilted her head and smiled, "That's why your sister came to find you! Come with me, this is not the place to talk!" She led Du Chen through the streets and alleys and arrived at a hotel. The name of the hotel was 'Rose'.

After entering, amid the whistles of sailors and waiters, Mina threw flirtatious glances along the way, and then she and Du Chen came to a small private room.

"Remember this inn. If you can't find me, find the owner here!" Mina whispered and then said, "Philip's behavior has been very strange lately, and firing experienced assistants is just one of them. Besides, even though you refused to help your sister, your sister found out that Arthur, that waste, is being used as an experimental subject for Philip!"

"Arthur is an experimental subject?" Du Chen was shocked beyond words. That poor kid turned out to be a live experiment!?

"I can't understand it either. Arthur is the Lionheart King's only grandson, and Alonzo's successor. It's impossible for him to do something so foolish!" Mina's voice grew even lower. "Do you know the reason behind the recent floods and earthquakes in the Einstein Continent?"

"Why are you bringing this up?" Du Chen asked.

"Sister will tell you now. Those earthquakes were caused by Chancellor Zig and Roland chasing after a demon!" Mina continued.

Du Chen was once again taken aback, not surprised by the reason for the earthquakes - Helen's story had already informed him of that. What surprised him was Roland!

That madman is now Aziza's teacher!

Mina continued, "In the end, Roland captured that demon, but he is a Crystal-level character, and I have no information on him. The only bit of information I have is when he had an interaction with Philip, which I got from Philip! Francis, that demon is Roland's captive, and now Philip is negotiating with Roland to use that demon as an experimental subject!"

"So, you want me to investigate Philip's experiments?" Du Chen asked.

"Yes, you are his assistant now, and your chances of success are higher than anyone else's! I mentioned this to you before, but this time it's an order, a direct order from the Pope himself! The boss is already on his way with the twelve guardian deities of the Enforcer Temple. With that in mind, you should understand the importance of this matter!"

Du Chen thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll keep an eye on Philip for you!"

"Thank you, sister appreciates it! What reward do you want?" Mina asked.

"I have one question for you!" Du Chen thought of the notes left by Phil. "Are you familiar with ancient rituals? I mean, some more gruesome rituals!"

Mina asked in surprise, "Why are you asking this? "She chuckled," But you asked the right person. We elves are the oldest race on the three continents, also the longest-lived. We have witnessed the changes in history firsthand, so we know a bit more than others!"

"Well, are there any rituals that involve skinning people?" Du Chen asked.

"To my knowledge, there are several such rituals, but the most common one is during the Battle of the Fallen God when the Human Alliance executes high-ranking demon prisoners. This ritual is called the Dark Sanctum, and its origin cannot be ascertained, or rather, I am not aware of its origin! But one of the steps involved is skinning!" Mina explained.

"Then... after these rituals, do they use certain methods to melt the bodies?" Du Chen asked.

"Little handsome boy, your questions are getting stranger. Have you discovered something interesting?" Mina smiled as she stared at Du Chen. In her eyes, there was a hint of curiosity, not just the joking appearance. "You're right, the bodies are melted in the end. However, the Dark Sanctum is considered the most sacred ritual in the eyes of the executioner. It is almost like a fanatical religious belief. They decide the steps based on the identity of the prisoner. Some people don't deserve to have their bodies melted!"

Du Chen stood up and said, "Thank you so much, I will keep an eye on Philip for you!" He walked towards the door.

"Hey, wait!" Mina stopped Du Chen and smiled, "If you want to know more about the Dark Sanctum, you can come and find sister. Oh, let me tell you one more thing. The complete Dark Sanctum usually has four executioners. They are skinning, removing bones, snapping tendons, and melting the body..."
