Chapter 165: A Strange Deal



"Well, why did Morris let you come to me?"

In the quiet room, the elf, who called himself "Jelly", sat in his ornate and somewhat over-the-top chair, crossed his legs, and interrogated Gilvin and Adella.

"He said you could get us out of here safely. ”

Adelia replied cautiously, without revealing any information about their identities.

"No, no!" Jelly shook his head violently, "He must be mistaken, that's not my business." I only help people find things, as long as the price is right, I can help you find the people you want to meet and find what you want in this city. But I don't help people escape, I'm not a nanny, and I'm a legitimate fruit merchant, so I don't want to set myself on fire. ”

"Can you be more accommodating, price is not a problem......

"It's not about price, it's about rules. Think about it. ”

The owner with an eccentric personality refused without hesitation.

"What should I do?" Adelia asked as she looked at Jiwen and whispered in her heart. Things were obviously a bit out of her mind, and the guy nicknamed "Jelly" wasn't easy to deal with.

Givens pondered the strange elf's words and replied, "Let me try it." ”

Immediately afterwards, Given's new commission for "Jelly" was made.

"Can you help me find a safe temporary home?"

Hearing this question, "Jelly"'s eyes lit up, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"That's a good commission. But I need to know who's watching you, and the more dangerous it is, the higher the price. ”

Givens looked at Adelia and replied cautiously, "King's Sword." ”

"Jelly" made a mockery of impending disaster, sarcastically, "You two are really lucky, but no problem, I know a place where you can hide." ”

"Also, can you find someone who can get us out of here from the eyes and ears of the King's Sword?"

"Where do you want to go?" Jelly asked curiously.

"It's our thing. Givan replied carefully.

"Your caution is understandable. Jelly smiled, "I can give you an address, and you can handle the rest." ”

Seeing that the hiding place and the way to leave were settled, Given's breathe a sigh of relief, but when the deal was not discussed, because Gilwin had a new problem. Since the mysterious figure known as "Jelly" has such abilities, he also wants to use him to do himself a small favor and find the girl who escaped from Professor Jaime's proving ground, the test subject in the mouth of the King's Sword.

"Can you help me find a red-haired, recently injured elf girl?"

"Wounded red-haired elf girl? Is there any other clue? like a name or something. ”

An embarrassed expression appeared on the face of "Jelly", after all, it was too difficult to find a person with such a description of such a large royal capital.

"That's all I can tell you. ”

Givens shook his head, he had carefully recalled the description Hull had given him, and he could only find these few characteristics.

"I'll try, but it's not a good time lately, and several girls have been missing in the entire royal capital area recently, and no one knows where they were taken. ”

"Even you don't know?"

Jiwen's question seemed to hit the sore spot of "Jelly", he coughed, and quickly explained: "This must be a good thing done by some outsiders, give me a little time, and I can figure out the secrets inside." But don't worry about that, the talent you're looking for is a big problem. ”

"We can wait a few days and hopefully you will be able to find her. ”

"I'll give it a try. Alright, now it's time to talk about the price," Jelly said, and wrote a number with his finger on the table in front of him.

At this life-and-death juncture, Adelia was rarely generous, so she quickly negotiated the price with "Jelly". After Jiwen pulled out a rare spell ring and a stack of gold coins from the storage ring, and "Jelly" was satisfied to put these things in a small box, then pulled out a piece of parchment and wrote down two addresses. One is a hideout, and the other is a nest of black market smugglers.

"It's a pleasure to trade with you, if I have the opportunity to work together again next time, I can give you a discount,"

With that, "Jelly" handed over the parchment with a smile on her face and handed it to the two generous customers. After the transaction was completed, Givens and Adelia took the parchment, said goodbye to "Jelly", and returned to the streets of the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts.

As soon as she left the mysterious shop, Adelia impatiently asked in a telepathic voice, "Giving, why are you looking for that girl, who is she?"

"I can't tell you yet, Adella. But she's important, and she can even help Professor Morris get out of suspicion. Givens looked at Adella's expectant eyes and carefully chose his words so as not to cause her uneasiness.

Although Adelia has enough trust in herself, it is impossible for Givens to tell Adelia that he has learned from the world of summoned beasts that this child is what the King's Sword has been calling "test subject".

He had promised Hull, who was in the forbidden space, that if he had the chance, he would help the girl who had the misfortune to become a test subject. The child was now temporarily out of confinement, but it seemed that she still had a lot of secrets in her body. The King's Sword, demons, and even anyone interested in these secrets will follow her trail and throw her back into that miserable life of experimentation.

The boy was wounded now, and he was probably the only one who could help him in this vast royal capital. If "Jelly" really has the ability to find out her traces, Jiwen plans to take her out of the national capital with him. Asking about Professor James's secrets may lead to an opportunity or evidence to prove Professor Morris's innocence and restore his reputation.

Adella looked into Given's eyes and listened to his explanation, but the doubts in her heart gathered more and more. After Jiwen finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "This is another secret that can't be said?" Jiwen, when will you be able to tell me all these secrets completely?"

"Wait until the time is right. Jiwen blinked, in fact, he didn't know how long the secret of the summoned beast world would be hidden. If possible, he hopes that Adelia will never know about this dangerous secret.

"Well, I hope you don't forget that you've said yes many times. ”

Adella sighed and didn't ask any further.

However, this small episode did not affect the luck of the subsequent trip. Everything went well, and the place where "Jelly" introduced them was reliable, and after reporting the code words of "Jelly", the connector quickly arranged for them to hide in the basement of a warehouse.

The darkroom is safe, the warehouse is empty and quiet, and the observation hole in the basement can easily observe the surrounding movements, and even if an accident occurs, you can escape through three different emergency exits.

Having finally settled down, Adelia let go of her boots, took off her coat, and lay down on the bed tiredly, recalling the strange events that had happened throughout the day.

It all happened so suddenly. When she woke up in the morning, she was a student at the Royal Call Academy, preparing for Professor Morris's lessons. But she soon met the two visitors from the King's Sword, and was sent out of the city by the Professor, and finally became a fugitive and hid in this basement in the Forest of Beasts.

When she stepped into the royal capital a few months ago, she had no idea that she would leave the land in such a quick way. Become yourself

The forbidden spell summoner's path to study had just begun, but it was ruthlessly interrupted. Fate played a big joke on her.

As soon as she thought of this, Adelia picked up the small bag she was carrying and opened it.

It was neatly packed with the handouts for today's class preparation and the only souvenir left by his instructor. The little book that teleported him and Givens out of that room.

She looked at the book intently, until Jivin saw Adelia in a daze, and asked curiously, "What are you thinking?"

"Mr. Morris should be alright, right? I wonder what the King's Sword will do to him. ”

Adella asked worriedly, although Professor Morris had a strange temper and acted madly, but as a teacher, he was very conscientious.

"Don't worry too much. The professor is a ninth-order summoning oracle, and since the King's Sword doesn't have a handle on the professor, they shouldn't be too embarrassed by him. ”

"I hope so. ”

"But aren't you worried about yourself?" Givan carefully reminded Adelia, "The King's Sword must be looking for you everywhere right now. ”

"Me?" said Adelia with a wry smile, "I've been scared since I last saw my mother in the Valley of Urs. Nothing can stop me from taking revenge, not even fate. ”

"It seems that you are stronger than I thought. ”
