Chapter 259: The Protagonist's Aura
At this time, Hood had also taken Aisha and them back to the station of the Shadow City Branch of the Morning Light Mercenary Regiment.
"Welcome to the Chenguang Mercenary Group!" Ye Yi welcomed with a somewhat stiff movement.
If it weren't for knowing that Aisha hardly joked, Ye Yi really found it hard to believe that these more than 100 mages were all here to join the Chenguang Mercenary Group. You must know that in the past year, although they have been trying their best to publicize, they have had little success in recruiting people. It was only after Aisha made a name for herself in the Blue Moon Academy that she successively recruited some people who came to admire her, but there were only about forty people in total. More than half of them heard that after Ye Yi decided to return to the Free Alliance with the mercenary group, he chose to leave directly. Just before Aisha and the others arrived, Ye Yi was in his office, looking at the list of resignations, sighing about this year's efforts.
Aisha and the others appeared in the station with more than 100 "surprises", and the melancholy mood that she had not yet come disappeared without a trace.
"Sister Ye Yi, you don't have to welcome them, these guys are cheeky and hard-pasted. Just as Ye Yi was trying to calm his excited heart, Hill said with a big grin.
"Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense!" Ye Yi glared at Hill, scolded, and then called Aisha to his side and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on, why are they here?"
"Well, I don't know. Today, Hill and I were about to leave, and Tutor Yan Yu came over and called the two of us to the principal's office, and then the principal arranged for them to follow. Aisha glanced back at Lan Xi and replied. In fact, she and Hill didn't know, and Principal Charles didn't explain anything, so he directly asked them to bring Lan Xi and them to the mercenary group.
"You are the deputy head of Ye Yi, right? Due to the suddenness of the incident, Aisha and Ciel were not informed of the specific reason in time. So if you have any questions, just ask me? My name is Lan Xi, and I'm their temporary captain. At this moment, Lan Xi, who had not spoken out today, stood up and said.
"Okay, you Lan Xi, you still hide it from me. I thought we had a deep friendship, but I didn't expect you to do this to me. Hearing Lan Xi's words, before Ye Yi could react, Hill jumped out and said first.
"I just knew about it, and I haven't figured out what to say yet. Lan Xi glanced at Hill a little helplessly, before in the principal's office, Hill had secretly asked him about the specific situation. However, he had just learned from Headmaster Charles that they were going to follow Aisha and Ciel to join the Morninglight Mercenary Regiment, and then go to the Freedom Alliance together. Therefore, at that time, Lan Xi was completely confused, and when Hill asked him, he had not fully accepted this fact.
Although before, when they had just come out of the secret realm, the Great Elder had asked them separately if the spirit clan students who had come to participate in the academy exchange meeting had the same intention of joining the mercenary group as Elsa and them. At the time, they didn't think much of it, but they thought it would be nice to be able to fight alongside Aisha and Ciel. So there is no sense of rejection.
But no one expected that not long after returning to the academy, they were notified that they would join the Dawnlight Mercenary Regiment with a group of other academies, and they would also leave the Eusas Empire.
"Hello, I'm Ye Yi. The deputy head of the Chenguang Mercenary Regiment is also the head of the Hidden City Branch of the Chenguang Mercenary Corps. Although I am very happy to have you join, I would like to ask why you chose to join us as a mercenary. After all, this is an unlikely choice for most Yusatians. What's more, you are all very gifted magicians. Ye Yi ignored Hill's noise, took a deep breath, and asked seriously at Lan Xi.
"Actually, we chose to join the Morning Light Mercenary Regiment and follow you to the Freedom Alliance. Mainly because the current situation in the Yusas Empire is not optimistic. When Lan Xi heard this, he didn't bother to explain to Hill. Turning his head, he replied to Ye Yi. And President Charles told all the things that he had called him alone early in the morning.
"Do you mean that the forest elves are likely to start a war in the territory of the Yusas Empire? Your Great Elder of the Spirit Clan and Headmaster Charles have decided to let you follow us to the Freedom Alliance for safety?"
"So to speak. Lan Xi thought for a moment and nodded in response.
"But this reason doesn't make sense, even if the forest elves want to start a war. With the strength of the Spirit Clan, there is no need to be afraid of them at all. There's no need to send your geniuses to our small mercenary group. No matter how you look at it, I think that the ancestral land of the Spirit Clan is much safer. Hood on the side questioned after listening to the whispers of Akan beside him.
"I've asked the Headmaster about that, but the Headmaster says that the Forest Elves may have mastered some sort of way to gain higher-order powers. If this is true, then with their talents, they will inevitably surpass all races in a very short period of time. At that time, even the Spirit Race may not be able to stop it. Lan Xi replied.
"But what's the point of joining us if even the Elves can't stop them, if the Forest Elves are really that powerful, they won't be satisfied with just conquering the Yusas Empire. So even if you go to the Freedom League with us, it's only a matter of time. And with our strength, it is certainly even more impossible to compete with them. Hood listened to Akan whisper a few more words before speaking.
"On this issue, it's actually mainly because of Aisha and Ciel. Lan Xi thought back to Principal Charles's words at that time, and said with a strange face.
"Hmph, I know that your purpose is not pure. I'll tell Yin Yi about it when I go back!" Hill, who was sulking, heard Lan Xi say this, and jumped out and said directly.
"Shut up!" Aisha scolded as she pulled Ciel to her side in embarrassment. For a while, the atmosphere in the station was a little awkward.
"Well, what does this have to do with the two of them. Ye Yi glanced at Hill, who was pinched by Aisha, and looked at Lan Xi.
Regarding this, Principal Charles explained when it came to that. Whenever troubled times are coming, there will be some people who are favored by fate. And in troubled times, the way to survive the highest rate is to follow these people who are favored by fate. The unprecedented talent that Aisha and Ciel displayed clearly showed that they were among those people who were favored by fate in this era. Being disturbed by Hill like this, Lan Xi also felt a little pressured, so he had to tell the strange points that Principal Charles had told him.
"Damn, isn't this the protagonist's aura! I didn't expect the principal of Blue Moon Academy to like to watch this genre too. The excited Akan didn't even bother to pass through Hood, and shouted directly.
