Chapter Seventy-Eight: Mulanya's Request
"Longtai?" Cook muttered to himself, the confusion on his face growing stronger.
Although he had been fortunate enough to witness some of the appearance of Longtai through the principal's ability, he had no idea about the role of Longtai.
"Yes, the Dragon Terrace is one of the most mysterious buildings in the Empire, since the beginning of the Empire, the Dragon Terrace has been located in the Tamaroa Forest, and its historical origin, no expert has yet been able to give a clear judgment. ”
"And the interior of the dragon platform ...... It's amazing, uh, or rather, no one has ever seen it in real terms. ”
Hearing this, Cook couldn't help but turn his head in shock, looked at Bell, and said in surprise: "No one know......s? Didn't there be so many players who went inside before?"
"Hmm......" Bell closed his eyes, and also showed a confused expression, some of which he couldn't quite understand why.
"To be honest, each year's contestants have made detailed descriptions of the inner structure of Longtai, and there are even some abilities who can use their abilities to re-display everything they saw at that time with a light screen, but ...... They are all different, and their various descriptions are very different. ”
"It's as if they're not in the same space at all. Belmore rubbed his big flat head and described it as plainly as he could.
"That's right...... Is Longtai so mysterious?" Cook couldn't help but recall the glazed jade pillar he saw that day, and sighed with emotion.
He had always thought that Longtai was a jade pillar built by the empire in the forest, but he didn't expect it to be at all, and the history of Longtai was much longer than that of the empire.
"In short, as soon as you enter the Dragon Stage, you will automatically go through the mysterious power inside the Dragon Platform to fight with each participating team, and finally according to the total number of wins, the team with the most will automatically rise to the top of the Dragon Platform and take down the Dragon Ball. Bell said suddenly.
"Cumulative wins?" Cook's eyes flashed, it was exactly the same as the school's class competition, where each squad competed against each other, and finally the ranking was determined according to the number of wins.
It's no wonder that the school's class competitions have been playing back and forth, and it turned out to be held in imitation of the rules of Longtai.
"But wouldn't there be any surprises if you left everything to Longtai?, or wouldn't it be fair?" Cook was again puzzled.
"No, the organizers of the tournament can take advantage of a loophole in Longtai to sneak in, and they will monitor every game in real time to ensure that there are no accidents. ”
"Is there still a loophole that Longtai can exploit?" Cook was very surprised by this, after Bell's explanation earlier, Longtai's impression in his heart suddenly became mysterious and powerful, so he was very surprised by the loophole that Bell said.
"Well, you'll know it then, it's still a bit troublesome to explain. Bell tilted his head slightly, revealing a tangled and troubled look.
“……”
After taking Dai Lisha and saying goodbye to Bell and Besina, Cook took Dai Lisha directly back to his villa, and in front of the door, he saw a familiar figure.
The khaki school uniform looks very fresh and pure on her body, and her already beautiful and delicate face is enough to attract the attention of the crowd no matter where she stands.
This girl is none other than Mu Lanya, who had a strange experience with Cook.
"It's getting dark, what are you doing standing in front of my house?" said Cook as he looked at her with a little headache, not that he didn't welcome Mulanya, but that he didn't know how to get along with her, after all, something like that had happened.
Coupled with Dai Lisha's inexplicable vigilance against her, he will be in a particularly embarrassing situation mixed in the middle.
couldn't help but glance cautiously at Dai Lisa beside her, and when she saw her puffing dissatisfied expression, she quickly withdrew her gaze, straightened her head steadily, and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Brother, your hands are sweating too much, it's disgusting. Dai Lisa shook off Cook's sweaty left hand, and the words pierced Cook's beating heart like a knife.
Is this starting to dislike me?!Cook let out a miserable and silent wail, but he could only endure the reality of this cone of heart.
Mu Lanya seemed to have no notice of all this, her eyes were firmly locked on Cook's body, a trace of distress and entanglement flashed in her expression, and finally, as if she had made some great decision, her gaze gradually became firm.
"Please, I want to ask you to teach me how to develop my abilities!" Mu Lanya bowed suddenly, frightened Cook inexplicably, and subconsciously jumped a few steps backwards.
"What?" Cook looked at Mu Lanya with some confusion, and the doubts and surprises in his heart rushed into his mind in an instant, and they could not be dissipated for a long time.
"Why did you come to me...... I think Elaine is a bit more suitable, right?" Cook couldn't help but wonder, after all, he was a wild boy who hadn't gone to school much, and he didn't have much systematic knowledge at all, so how could he still teach others.
And you and Elaine are both girls, so many things will be more convenient and conducive to studying, right?
"I've asked Sister Elaine, but she refused directly. Mu Lanya sighed dejectedly, looking helpless.
"But...... You want me to teach you...... I really don't know how to teach you!" Cook couldn't help but recall his past, and shook his head helplessly.
"It's okay! just let me watch from the side!" Mu Lanya's expression was very serious and solemn, and he could see that he had really made up his mind.
"During the repechage match, I didn't play a role, I could only watch Sister Snowy struggle to support herself like an outsider, it was really like a vase......
"Well, you don't have to care so much, you're only a first-year student after all, right?" Cook comforted as he looked into Mu Lanya's unwavering, pitiful eyes.
"But you're also a first-year student!" Mu Lanya's sudden unwilling low cry made Cook speechless, and he looked at the sunset in the distance with a complicated expression, and sighed faintly.
"I know your determination to become stronger, but I still can't help you......"
"Please beg Elaine, although she has always been that high-minded, but she is really a very strong and gentle girl, I am sure she will be of great help to you. ”
Cook wiped his hands, took Dai Lisa, who was silent and looked annoyed, smiled at Mu Lanya, and walked straight towards the door.
"Why? Why don't you say yes?!"
Behind him, Mu Lanya's low cheer came again, Cook paused slightly, turned his head, smiled brightly at Mu Lanya, and said, "Because you will definitely become stronger, right, little Lisa?"
"Hmph!" Dai Lisha snorted lowly, turned her head, but nodded slightly.
"That's impossible, I can't do it alone!" Mu Lanya murmured in a low voice with tears in her eyes and a lonely and helpless expression.
"Yes, my brother said yes, it must be possible. Dai Lisa's blue pupils reflected Mu Lanya's lonely figure in the depths of her pupils, and she whispered in a low voice.
Dai Lisa's long-lost speech of trust instantly healed Cook's previous dislike caused by the sweaty hands, and he wiped away a tear from the corner of his eyes without a trace, and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely let Elaine agree to your request for teaching!"
"And what if she doesn't agree?" Mu Lanya still looked disillusioned and depressed, not very trusting of Cook's promise.
"No...... If she doesn't agree...... I'll help you match Sheryl!, and I'll see if she says yes!" said Cook through gritted teeth.
"You, what are you talking nonsense!" Mu Lanya finally regained some of her former vigor, her pretty face turned crimson, and she looked at Cook incredulously and shouted.
"Haha, I'm joking, anyway, you can rest assured, Elaine can't do it, I can still go to Teacher Afra, Teacher Afra can't, I can also go to Sister Lan, in short, I will definitely help you find the right person." Cook laughed loudly, and the smile fell on Mu Lanya's eyes so brightly.
"After all, you just don't want to tutor me yourself, do you?" Mu Lanya turned her head with her hands behind her back, and muttered quietly.
"I didn't ...... I really don't know how to teach you!" said Cook with a sincere and eager face, as if he was afraid that Mu Lanya would not believe him.
"I know, I'll just believe you once, right?" Mu Lanya twisted and kicked a small stone at her feet, muttering again.
"Oh...... Oh!" Cook didn't expect Mu Lanya to compromise so quickly, and hurriedly let out a loud "oh", and then looked at Mu Lanya so blankly and didn't say anything.
"Then I'll go first. Mu Lanya glanced at Cook quietly and whispered.
Cook smiled and nodded.
Mulanya turned around, and after walking some distance, she turned around abruptly and shouted at Cook, "Goodbye, see you at school tomorrow!"
Cook nodded again, and was about to close the door of the villa, and then, as if suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly poked his head out again, and shouted, "No! Tomorrow is the weekend!
Boom! As soon as Cook finished shouting this, he felt Dai Lisa kick him out of the villa, and then slammed the door, directly locking him out of the door.
"Eh, little Lisa, what are you doing closing the door?" Cook looked at the locked door behind him in confusion and knocked lightly.
"You won't be allowed to come back for an hour! Also, remove the word 'small' in the future!"
