Chapter 17 The Occurrence of the Night
The blue capital here - Maszart, the hinterland - Landu Academy. At this time, today, May 21, it is the annual Witch Night of Landu Academy. At this moment, the bright morning is filled with the entire capital, but for some reason, people in Landu have noticed the difference from previous years, perhaps because the guards patrolling the city are conducting detailed investigations, perhaps because the mercenary groups spread across the streets and alleys are orthogonal, or perhaps because the teams going to Jinqing Forest this year are particularly large this year than in previous years. These scenes have touched people's fear that people do not want to mention, and this emotion seems familiar, as if they bring them back to the day three years ago.
People are watching the Kingsley team of Landu Academy, just as the guards of Landu Academy are watching the group of Kingsleys protected by themselves, and drove the Kingsleys to the direction of Jinqing Forest. Along the way, the bustling crowds filled the streets of Landu Academy, causing the entire urban traffic to be paralyzed. As soon as they reached the city gate, the whole team suddenly stopped and waited for orders. "That, Senior Lim, are there so many people on the street every year on Witch Night? Being watched by so many people makes me feel a little unreal.
"At this time, a short student from the guard asked the tall young man beside him, and the tall young man said angrily: "Look at your promising prospects, it's not because we are students of Landu College. This is the honor we deserve to be admitted to Landu College by our ability. But you probably haven't seen this scene before, so it's understandable." When he said this, the tall young man glanced at a purple-haired cat named Kingsley in the team, but was glared back by the two girls beside her.
"Freya, look at what happened to Lim today, always looking at us with that look." "Olivia, don't worry about him. The most important thing now is to protect Erin and Hammer." Olivia nodded in agreement. "By the way, Freya, did you just say that Teacher Buck asked Hammer to be with us tonight?" "Well, yes." Freya replied. "Then, will it be inconvenient for us three girls to be with him and a boy?" Olivia asked this.
His expression was a little strange. "Teacher Buck said he was a boy before he infected Deba." Freya's answer made Olivia stunned for a while, and then asked: "You mean he is now..." "Teacher Buck said that Deba virus blurred his gender characteristics, and he does not belong to any gender now." Freya hurriedly interrupted Olivia's random thoughts. Olivia looked at Hammer, who was shorter than her head in front of her, and saw Hammer turn around and smile at him a few times.
"Hey, you guys, aren't it too slow? It's just affected the team behind it?" Lim suddenly came over and shouted to Erin and the other four. "Lim, what's wrong with you today? Why are you targeting us all the time?" Olivia replied. "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Olivia, I'm so respectful. But as the deputy captain of the escort team, I have to take this responsibility this time, and I'm also responsible for you and everyone. After all, as a member of the official entrance examination in Landu Academy, I still have the responsibility. Unlike some students who have specially recruited, they often drag the hindrance of all the students of Landu Academy." As he spoke, Lim always aimed at Little Erin, thinking: The little girl beside her
What about the son? Then, Lim felt that he was pushed, and looked down and laughed out loud, "Isn't this a Deba student of Soren? Why, if Deba becomes Deba, you still want to go to the Jinqing Forest." "Lim, don't you go too far." "Oh, who did I think? It turned out that Freya, who was called the 'pseudo noble', became the adopted daughter of Marquis Fano." "Lim! Do you know what you are talking about?" "Miss Olivia, you are rude. I just have to report to the Council of Landu College for covering up Hanmo's trip to the Jinqing Forest. Now, as the deputy captain of the guards, I will make a decision to stay in the hospital according to the college regulations." "Lim, you dare!"
"Lim, Olivia, what happened." Seeing these two people's tense appearances, the leader Buck hurried over to see what was going on. He didn't want anything wrong with this joint. "Oh, hello, Mr. Buck." Lim saw Buck coming, first greeted respectfully, and then said: "It's such a Buck teacher. Olivia and Freya unauthorizedly took Hammer, Deba, to Jinqing Forest, so I would like to treat them according to the school rules.
The person made a punishment decision." "That's it?" Buck smacked his lips. "That's it, Teacher Buck." "Then let them return to the team quickly. Lan Duchen in the academy is probably coming soon." After that, he was about to turn around and leave. "But Teacher Buck, the Council..." "You don't have to worry about this. Teacher Enish has already issued an order in person." "Principal Enish!" Lim's face couldn't help but sternly. After he apologized to Olivia and the others, he left with an angry look.
The ceremony began again after sending Lan Duchen. The guard of honor at the front of the team kept throwing the so-called Lan Duchen in his hand, which is the soil in the city. The leading stylists shook the blue satin flags in their hands and sang the ancient sayings, which meant to use this thin layer of mud and dust as a guide to the team's way forward. The long team left the city one after another, leaving only the citizens who were spectators to stay in the city and witness their departure. This was the tradition of Lan Du's previous expedition.
The vast team was getting farther and farther away, and time slipped away little by little. Before he knew it, it was noon. The team that turned into a long dragon decided to stay and rest for a while. At this speed, it was about two hours away from the destination Jinqing Forest. Buck was standing at the forefront of the team, and he saw him rub the gems embedded in the ring and hum a prayer. When the gems flashed, the stylist behind him also hummed lightly, followed the rhythm and knocked on the earth with the flag in his hand. Soon, the blue satin flag floated longer and longer with the singing.
It stretched straight to the end of the team, bringing a hint of coolness to the team from the scorching sun. At this time, Olivia prepared a blanket in advance so that Freya and the others could sit on it and enjoy lunch. Freya took out various exquisitely patterned tableware, and Little Erin took out the lunch that Neil prepared for them from her pocket. Hammer, who was beside her, looked at them with a hint of embarrassment. Lim looked at them in the distance and raised her eyebrows, looking at the four of them and recalled the strange boy she met on the street that day, which made Lim unable to help but be out of her mind.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Erin asked, "Sister Freya, did Brother Neil send a message?" "I tried to contact him with a magic book, but it may be because the elemental interference was too strong, but he has not been contacted." Freya replied, "He is not in danger, right?" Olivia said casually. "No, Brother Neil is very strong!" Erin tightened her clothes, "It's okay, it must be okay." Erin talked to herself over and over again. Freya looked at Olivia with a blame, making Olivia have to close her mouth, and then gently stroked Erin's back to comfort her. After the lunch break, everyone set out on the itinerary to Jinqing Forest again.
Behind the long team is the gradually blurred Landu Massatt, and at this time the center of Landu is the chaotic Landu Academy. A group of teachers and students gathered next to the school campus building and formed fortifications to resist the attack of alienated monsters. Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the woods in the distance. He wrapped his head in cloth, carried two knives around his waist, and held a piece of freshly baked monster meat in his mouth. "Oh, I can't even eat." The figure muttered like this. "It's him! That dressed up
Like an ascetic monk, Neil!" A student standing after the fortification saw Neil and a group of animals that had just evolved afterwards, exclaimed. "Prepare!" The magician Ente, who led the team, shouted. The magic teachers beside him and the students who had just become trainee magicians took out magic books and lit the rings with their magic power. "Play the magic!" Ente shouted, and the teachers and students began to sing their own songs. "Release!" shouted, and the overwhelming numbers of people
A large and small magic bloomed forward, the direction where the group of monsters were. Wait for a round of magic to be blasted out, "Attack!!" The knights of the academy gave a command, and dozens of knights and knights rushed forward to fight with the monsters. Neil also ate the flesh at this time, stepped out his right foot, waved the sharp blade and turned around, and inserted it into the neck of a monster with one sword. Without any doubt, before the monster closed its eyes, Neil drew his sword and cut the skull of another monster.
Then he turned over and looked up at the tiger-shaped monster that was rushing towards him. He held the hilt with his right hand and pressed the back of the knife with his left hand and stabbed it with his stomp. The tiger-shaped monster's intestines flowed out, and his body shook a few times before falling down. The teachers and students of Landu Academy who were fighting with him were all shocked by his actions, and they were worthy of being the rumored mysterious and weird monk. Neil turned over and wiped the plasma dripping from the monsters on his body at will, and then he picked up the knife to meet him again.
As time goes by, the flow of elements becomes more and more chaotic, and the phenomenon of alienation becomes more and more serious. Although targeted potions can be temporarily suppressed, some students in the academy have also begun to alienate. They have no choice but to decide to knock out and tie them up before they alienate, and they can slowly recover after the Witch Night has passed. However, the situation this year is more serious than in previous years. The students who are constantly alienated have affected the normal defense organization, and their resistance to the group of monsters is also chaotic.
Get up. "I would have paid attention to the questions raised by Teacher Sauron at that time." "What about the Landu Cavalry Guard?" "It is said that the city of Landu is in chaos now, and they probably can't take care of themselves." "It would have been a pity that they went out to practice, so it would be impossible for them to come back today." Such conversations came from the clinic of Landu College from time to time. Due to the situation, all the teachers in the school unanimously decided to launch a signal flare to ask for help outside the school.
At this moment, a signal flare rushed to the high altitude, instantly illuminating the entire Landu Academy. Even Buck, who was in the Jinqing Forest, clearly saw the yellow magic pattern used to ask for help.
