Chapter 41: A New Traveling Companion
At this time, I only heard Xiao Jia say: "That's right, those guys are not only well-trained, but also ruthless, once the target is caught, they are usually executed on the spot, I was almost caught up by them twice along the way, and finally got out by luck, in fact, I found someone sneaking around the beach and thought it was them, so I went to investigate, I didn't expect to meet you being besieged, I was moved by compassion for a while to come to the rescue, and everything may be arranged by fate..."
"And what are you going to do next?" The princess asked.
"I don't know, now I'm desperate and have no choice but to live one day at a time."
"You didn't think about clearing your name?"
"Of course I do, but now I don't have any evidence that the professor framed me..."
"Wait, you said the professor framed you?" At this time, the princess couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it? How do you look at the whole thing, he turned black and white upside down and bit back, in order to cover up his crime of studying "forbidden arts"? Xiao Jia couldn't help but be surprised.
The princess smiled coldly when she heard this, and turned her head to look at the two of us on the side, Ah Zi and Ellie were also at a loss for this, but I was the only one who was thoughtful.
"Sure enough, you noticed it too... The princess couldn't help but smile when she looked at me, and I immediately felt a little embarrassed.
"Notice what? You two don't make a fool of yourself, okay? I mean! Ellie couldn't help but urge at this time.
I saw that the little girl was really anxious, and I had to say my speculation at the moment: "Actually, at first, I also thought that the professor was the wicked person who sued first, but then after carefully analyzing Xiao Jia's words, I felt that things were not so simple, first of all, according to Xiao Jia, she went back to the dormitory directly after leaving the professor's office that night, and she didn't sleep all night, but the next morning, the guild people searched for those documents from her room, and asked if these were all done by the professor, How exactly did he get these documents in without Xiao Jia being discovered? It's too difficult. There are also those witnesses and the notes written by the so-called Xiao Jia's "own handwriting", all of which feel that they have been arranged in advance, but can the professor's personal energy be able to prepare these in such a short time? And Xiao Jia accused the professor in court of biting back, according to common sense, the senior management of the guild did not believe it, and they had to go through a procedure just in case, but they completely ignored this, and the more important professor has been engaged in the research of "blood magic" for so long, it is impossible to leave no trace at all, and it is understandable that ordinary students can't find out, but does the guild senior really know nothing? If that were the case, the institution would have collapsed long ago... “
"Wait, you mean that...
"If my speculation is correct, it was not the professor who framed Xiao Jia, but the entire guild higher-ups who colluded to kill people and kill people."
"This... This can't be, why would the top brass do this? Xiao Jia was surprised.
"The following is just my speculation, there is no evidence, maybe the study of "blood magic" was not the Professor's personal act from the beginning, but the entire guild leadership was involved... ”
"Oh my God... Xiao Jia covered her mouth with her hand in surprise at this time, feeling that she didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe it.
"But those people are well fed, why do they do such a risky thing, once the news leaks, they will become the public enemy of the whole world?" At this point, Ellie couldn't help but ask.
Before I could speak, the princess replied first: "We don't know, but it can prompt them to risk the world's disapproval, even at the cost of killing an innocent student to keep this secret, there should be a motive behind it that is unimaginable to ordinary people... ”
For a while, the whole cave fell into silence, and the five of us except for the princess were originally insignificant little people, living our own lives, but in just a few months, everything was ruined, and we were involved in a huge conspiracy that we couldn't control completely, and now it seems that there is no place for us in the world, and what is the reason for all this...
After a long time, the princess was the first to speak: "Well, now that a few of us can get together, it can be regarded as the arrangement of fate, Xiaojia, if you don't dislike it, go with us in the future, so that everyone can take care of it, and then we will find a way to wash away our grievances." ”
"This... Can it really be? Xiao Jia looked at us with some hesitation, and everyone smiled and nodded at her.
"That... Then I will ask you to take care of me from now on. Xiao Jia said excitedly stood up and bowed deeply to us, but she didn't pay attention to her forehead and hit the stone on the roof of the cave, so painful that her tears almost didn't fall, everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, and so we had a new companion in the team, but after a short period of joy, a real problem couldn't help but put in front of us again - what to do next?
"Judging from the incident on the beach, it is obvious that the success of "Gorsa" has reached into the interior of the Holy See, and the reason why we are wanted is probably because of the tricks of these guys, originally I also hoped to find out the facts of the case through my acquaintances in the headquarters and clear my grievances, but now it seems that this road will not work. The princess bit her fingernails as she spoke, and she liked to do it whenever she was in trouble.
"So what do we do next? Continue to be so desperate? Ellie couldn't help but be anxious when she heard this.
At this time, Xiao Jia suddenly said: "Actually... I'd considered going to the Misty Forest. ”
"Misty Forest? You mean that cursed place? The princess asked.
"Well, I've heard people in the guild say before that the environment of that place is harsh, all kinds of demons and monsters are rampant, and some supernatural phenomena often occur, so ordinary people don't dare to approach at all, and over time it has become a shelter for all kinds of fugitives and people who have nowhere to stay, whether it is the Holy Court or the power of the Wizards' Guild, it has not affected anywhere, and there have been many "rebellious mages" hiding in it before, but unfortunately I only know the general location of that place, and I don't know the specific path, Otherwise, it might be a good idea for us to go there first and take shelter for a while. ”
The princess couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this: "No, that place is mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are many crises, isn't it equivalent to a few of us going to the net?" ”
Ellie heard this and hurriedly said: "But now we are not safe outside, in my opinion, instead of being hunted down and killed all day long, it is better to venture in and try, and when the rumor passes, it is not too late for us to come out and continue to investigate the truth... ”
"This..." The princess couldn't help but hesitate when she heard this, and turned her head to look at me and Zi, as if asking for the opinions of both of us.
I thought for a moment and said, "I think Ellie has a point, it's too dangerous to hang around outside like we are now, so it's better to find a place to take a break from it." ”
"What about you, Ah Zi?" The princess turned her head again and asked.
"I don't care, I'll go wherever everyone goes."
The princess listened to this and pondered for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, since you all think so, I can't force it, I know the specific location of the Misty Forest, if you really have this awareness, we will set off tomorrow!" ”
"Really!?" A few of us couldn't help but be surprised when we heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Can I still lie to you now?" The princess smiled helplessly.
So we set out on a new journey with our new companions, and although we all expected a difficult road ahead, what happened afterwards was much more than we could have imagined.
