Volume II: Hero Academia Chapter 69: The Guide
When it comes to shopping, girls always seem to have an endless amount of physical strength, and whenever they do this, they always ignore the feelings of the man who carries the bag, intentionally or unintentionally.
Del Cora also couldn't understand why Satya was so keen on shopping. He had heard that many girls went shopping just to shop, but Satya's shopping was very purposeful, and once she chose to enter a certain store, she had to take something from it, adding a little more burden to Del Cola's already heavy armβ
"How many gold coins did you take with you when you went out?"
Seeing Satya pile the two packages on top of her again, Delcora couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"About five hundred gold. What's wrong?" replied Satya casually.
"Five hundred ......," Del Cola shuddered.
His current savings are only two gold coins.
He shrunk his head and buried his head in a pile of packages, pretending he hadn't asked.
Of course you can't, and once you use the space ring, who can stop Satya's shopping spree......?
"Aren't we going to eat? It's getting dark. β
This sentence truly liberated Del Cola.
They chose to have dinner at an elf restaurant. When I came out of the restaurant, it was already completely dark, and the lights were on in all the shops. Del Kora, who threw all the goods into the spatial ring, was finally able to hold Satya's hand with ease.
"It's August 20th, and we're going to be here for another month," Satya said casually, "Shall we take on some mercenary missions?" β
"I don't want to do those errands anymore...... Del Cora grumbles, "I think we're going to do all the epic quests, and the Mercenary Guild will definitely have a better rating than the Master ...... Should we go to the Mercenary Guild and apply for a level up?"
"The headquarters of the Mercenary Guild is in Randmund. Satya thought for a moment, "But we need to ask Mr. Lance for a proof." If we go straight to apply...... I'm afraid of being kicked out by them. β
"Uh...... Also. Del Cora scratched his head, "And it looks like Mr. Mocaros hasn't come to Randmont yet." We'll have to wait a long time. β
"We'll make great progress in diplomacy this year, and the Kraken clan can finally put aside their worries and join the Peace Alliance. They will speed up the development of our oceans. Satya looked happy, "I've heard that there are a lot of beautiful jewels in the deep sea. β
"I'm more interested in the high-grade hedron of the deep sea. Delkora shrugged, "But if there are really beautiful gems, we should ask Master Toqua to carve the ornaments." β
The two walked back while chatting, showed the admission notice, ran away amid the chatter of the doorman's uncle, "Don't come back so late in the future", and slowly paced in the school with the street lights on but empty-
"Is there still anyone in the library?" Del Cora immediately noticed the spectacular three-story building with lights on in the distance, and touched his chin, "You say, will Artas be in the library?"
"He'll just be there. β
Coincidentally, when the two came to the door of the library, they happened to bump into Assas who came out of the gate. He held a book in his hand, but Delcora's attention was on his meticulous formal attire.
"Don't you really feel inhibited?" Del Cola didn't know how many times she asked the question, "It's not a nobleman's ball, why are you dressed so seriously?"
Assas didn't bother to answer him.
"You're such a boring person Assas, without a bit of youthful energy......" The routine spit was abruptly interrupted. Del Cora suddenly blinked and stared at Assas, "Such a strong smell of holy light?
"Holy Light?" Assas froze.
What he didn't see was that behind him, a girl in a white dress with long silver hair avoided them and walked over with a stack of heavy books. Sensing the trail of the light, Delkora turned her head a little, and then unsurprisingly spotted the girl.
He frowned and stared at it, knowing that the girl had walked around the corner and disappeared.
"Have you seen enough, dear?"
Satya crept over, her fingers already touching Delcora's waist.
"No......"
But Delcora muttered, unconsciously, "Am I wrong?"
"What's wrong?" asked Assas, puzzled, seeing Del Kora's appearance.
"I just saw a girl in a white dress with long silver hair...... The power of light in her body, that's the level of the Priest of Light! Oh my God, she's not a new life, is she?"
β......β
Long silver hair, white dress?
Wasn't that the girl he helped with the book?
"She's actually a professional of the Holy Light system?" Assas raised an eyebrow, and the scene was noticed by the sharp-eyed Del Kora.
"You know her? No, how could it be, your first time in Randmund. β
"It's not an acquaintance, but something did happen in the afternoon. Assas briefly recounted the little things that had happened in the library that afternoon. β...... I don't think she's very familiar with the library, so she should be a freshman. β
β...... So you didn't realize that she was actually a priest, or a priest of light?" Delcora squinted at him in disbelief, "Your Holy Light talents have been returned to the Holy See?"
β...... In a place like a school, it's rude to snoop on someone at will. Not everyone has the same sensitive elemental and light sensing as you are. Assas replied reluctantly.
Even if he has the talent of holy light, he is not a professional of holy light, so how can his sense be so keen.
And, in school, at the Reims Academy, where Mr. Lance sits, is it really necessary to keep scanning on to detect other students?
Is it necessary?
ββββββββββββββ
Mr. Reims's home.
"Hey, Richard, you're waiting for me. β
"But I didn't expect you to come so late. β
Saltania, dressed in white, closed the door and sat down across from Richard.
"What about Mr. Lance?"
"The rest is gone. β
"What about you?"
"The old man told me to wait for you. β
"Mr. Lance knows I'm coming?"
"Nonsense. β
Richard shuffled the cards one by one, looked at Saltania in a relaxed manner, and said sarcastically: "So our Templar Fury, Mr. Saltania Shadow, will it take a day to walk these short hundreds of kilometers? β
"I'm not like you, Richard, and I won't be blamed by Mr. Lance for coming here a day late, nor will he give me strange assignments. Saltania didn't care about Richard's sarcasm, "Do you have anything to analyze about that demon?"
"Its relics are in the laboratory, and as for the rest of the ......," Richard shook his head helplessly, "we don't know much about this race after all. Even Mr. Lance didn't know much about them. β
"Mid-August is the annual meeting of the chamber. Will Mr. Lance take the matter to the council chamber?" Saltania asked.
"Yes, but it may not be that simple. Richard became unusually serious, "The teleportation array built in the log town is not limited to individual teleportation, they have already mastered the technology of soul teleportation, so why should we believe that there is only one soul teleported? They have hidden skills far beyond our current detection technology, and if they don't actively wake up, no one will be able to find their traces." β
"Also, who built that teleportation array?" Saltania leaned forward and knocked on the table, "I've seen that teleportation array, it's a common drawing method, precise positioning, strong purpose, someone can connect the Demon Continent and bring these dangerous guys to Lanman - no matter how many teleportation arrays pass, how many people in the continent still master this teleportation array drawing method? What is their purpose?
"We need to strictly investigate all the great mages in the continent who can draw ultra-long-range space magic arrays. Started with Randmon. Richard nodded, "Just submit it to the council chamber, we have to take this matter seriously." β
"Hmm...... Heh," after nodding his head in approval, Saltania unconsciously showed a wry smile again, "This race obviously only exists in legends, and many people, including the Holy Order, don't believe that there is such a race in the world that can manipulate desires. β
"No way, we don't have the strength to cross planets, although geographers have determined the existence of other continents, but if we can't conquer the deep sea, other races on other continents can only be legends. Richard sneered, "Some damned old fellows still see the deep sea as a flood beast, thinking that it is a god-forsaken land and there is no need to explore it - when the news of the demon's appearance is confirmed, I don't think they will be able to sit still." β
The damned old guys in his mouth were naturally those saint-level heroes who were much older than him - he was the only one on the entire continent who would blatantly insult the saint-rank heroes who were the leaders of the continent.
"The little ones have found the Ancient Rank of the Kraken, and by the end of the year at the latest, we will be able to achieve a breakthrough in the negotiations with the Kraken. Speaking of this, Saltania also smiled, "Mr. Lance should reward them, they have solved a big problem for the council chamber - more than one." β
"What do those three little ones lack?gold?artifact?hedrons?their equipment is better than mine!" Richard rolled his eyes, "What do you think, why did you bring them those artifacts?
"But without these artifacts, they wouldn't have been able to accomplish these legendary achievements. "And to cross the Great Plains and the Sunset Mountains alone at the age of fourteen is a feat that few of the ancestors of Sfiodor have ever doneβand it would not be an exaggeration to give them a little more protection." β
β...... Then I heard you say that, you must have a follow-up plan - I don't ask, you don't have to tell me, I'm not interested. β
He pulled out a Kara card and held it in front of his eyes and stared at it silently.
"You say...... Is that rumor about Sfiodor and the devil true......"
He murmured softly, as if casually.
Saltagha closed his eyes and replied for a long time, firmly.
β...... I just choose and believe in the human leader. β
