33. The girl in the cage

……

Nightstar walked on the way to Sennick Academy with a complicated face.

When he looked down at the three cards and a letter in his hand, his brow couldn't help but furrow......

……

10 minutes ago......

In the room of the Yuriyu clothing store......

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Nightstar looked at Yuriyu with a gloomy expression......

Yuriyu didn't care, she coughed twice and found a place to sit down......

"The story of the old body is finished......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Nightstar glanced at the two on the other side and spoke slowly.

"Why did you tell me about 'her' too? Do you think I'm going to have an ATC 'her'? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"I'm not a bad person, what does it matter to me whether 'her' lives or dies?"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Yuriyu bowed her head tiredly and remained silent.

Seeing her like this, Stantin's expression on the side suddenly became angry.

He pointed at the night star and scolded, "XXX! Stinky boy, will you respect the elderly?! Or do you really think you're in a mouthful? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Nightstar jerked his head to look at Stantin......

"I was just careless when I was injured by you yesterday! Yo, you kid is a stinky fart! ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"Tsk, what are you looking at? Defy? Come on, let's go out and fight again, if you can still break my defenses, you can pronounce my name backwards in the future! ā€

Looking at Stantin's expression that was flying up, the blue tendons on the night star's forehead protruded......

He raised his chin and looked at Stantin with a sinister smile: "Old man Tintans, I think you need hundreds of priests to save your life......"

"What?! You ......"

Before Stantin could finish his sentence, a cane was laid across his face......

After Yuriyu coughed twice, he glanced at him weakly: "Old man Stantin, change your violent temperament...... I don't want to waste any more of my body helping you with treatment......"

Standin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head with a snort and sulked.

Yuriyu looked at the chairman, who had been silent, and nodded slightly to him.

The president stood up and walked straight to where the night star was......

The atmosphere in the whole room instantly became oppressive......

Especially around the night star......

A sense of tranquility has always lingered......

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

The president had already walked over to Nightstar......

Although he almost died at the hands of Nightstar yesterday......

But now his expression is like a deep pool......

It's incredibly calm......

The two of them stared at each other in a strange atmosphere for nearly a minute......

In the end, it was the president who broke the silence first.

He pulled out several cards and an envelope from his pocket.

"These two adventure cards are for you and your partner to reissue, and the other is a gold coin card, which contains 200,000 gold coins, of which 100,000 is the compensation ...... the adventurer's guild will give you"

The president paused, then put everything on the coffee table beside him.

"Of course, this is not the whole reward of the mission, the other reward...... You'll need to open the letter to know. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Nightstar glanced at the items on the coffee table and continued to stare up at the president......

The president didn't care, he turned back to his seat and sat down, and continued, "I'm sorry for the mistake made by the Adventurer's Guild this time...... However, due to the need to continue to conceal the true level of the tentacle monster, you and your partner's Adventure Card level must not be too high......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"So...... Let me now explain what happened......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

……

Nightstar stared at the already yellowed envelope in his hand, not knowing how to react......

[I'm sorry for hiding the true level of the quest and the quest object from you......]

【…… The general situation is exactly as I explained. 怑

【…… Although I'm ashamed...... But can I be cheeky enough to make a request to you? 怑

[Okay...... Although you have refused now, I believe that you will definitely agree in the future......]

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Nightstar's mind kept recalling what the president had just said......

It's just that I'm going......

Is his brain really normal?

Such a crazy request was made to me......

But......

It seems to be quite interesting......

Nightstar folded the letter and put it in his pocket.

As for the letter......

Actually, he really wanted to throw it away......

"The Iron Country of the Eastern Dwarves......"

Nightstar rested his hands and looked troubled......

……

Before he knew it, Nightstar walked from the back door of Sennick Academy to Marilyn's office......

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

He stared blankly at the quaint wooden door......

Groove ......

Should I say I've developed such a habit?

Why do you come here unconsciously every time you come to Sennick Academy?

Tut......

"Click......

Just as Nightstar was in a daze, the wooden door in front of him was suddenly opened......

A large wizard's hat nearly hit him.

ā€œā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€ā€

Marilyn, who raised her head, and Nightstar looked at each other silently for a moment......

"Please...... Let's let ......"

Marilyn lowered her head, and the wizard's hat covered her face again......

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Nightstar moved to the side in silence......

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Marilyn walked directly past him without saying a word......

Night Star's brows furrowed slightly: "Hey! Dwarf winter melon! I have something to tell you. ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand was about to grab the swaying wizard's hat......

ā€œļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ļ¼ā€

Marilyn's body shuddered violently......

Then a coercive aura like a torrent rushed towards the night star!

Nightstar's face sank, but his outstretched hand was not affected in the slightest.

Teleport !!

Marilyn had already pulled out her staff at some point......

After a burst of intense purple light, she disappeared in an instant and appeared several meters away!

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Nightstar didn't make any more moves......

Marilyn pressed her wizard hat down......

quickened his pace and trotted away from the scene......

Only the gloomy night star was left, standing quietly in place......

……

I don't know how long it took......

Kuya, who came to this neighborhood, saw the silhouette of a familiar back.

She looked closer to the ...... in confusion

"Huh, huh? Little, little star, why are you standing at the door of Tutor Marilyn's office......"

Kuya, who had just walked behind Nightstar, stopped abruptly......

In a split second......

There was a creepy sense of dƩjƠ vu that made her feel ......

It's like going back to that night in the northern forest......

It's back to the moment when I met the tentacle monster......

"Huh?"

Nightstar seemed to sense something behind him.

The aura on his body dissipated instantly, and he turned his head to look at Kuya, "How are you doing?" ā€

Hearing Nightstar's question, Kuya came back to her senses.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Oh. ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

"I—I reported it to Mentor Marilyn...... She said that the academy had been busy preparing for the Chaoyang Festival for the past two weeks, so she asked me to simply practice at home and wait until the Chaoyang Festival came back to compete......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

The night star looked away......

What the hell is the dwarf winter melon thinking?

What the hell is the Inti family going to do?

Sighing secretly, Nightstar strode towards the back door of the academy......

Kuya was stunned for a moment, then trotted after him......

……

Night Star rested his hands and quickly shuttled through the crowd with his senses......

Kuya, on the other hand, struggled to follow him, as if afraid of being left behind......

Suddenly, the surrounding crowd began to move in a certain direction......

"Wow, wow!"

The emaciated Kuya was about to be swept away by the crowd......

"Smack"

Nightstar grabbed her hand almost subconsciously......

Without waiting for Kuya to thank him, he followed the crowd on his own......

Kuya looked at the boy who was drifting away......

For some reason, I felt like he was right next to me......

Shaking her head, Kuya struggled to squeeze through the crowd and catch up......

……

In a small square, countless streams of people gradually converged into a huge encirclement......

And in the center of the encirclement, four men with thick beards were shouting......

A rough wooden cage was fastened to a trolley......

In the wooden cage, an elven girl had a hollow look in her eyes......

Her green hair was already messy......

But the drooping hair didn't hide the striking heterochromatic pupils......

She was dressed as if she had been in the past for decades......

It's unbelievably dilapidated......

"You can buy with confidence! This spirit wasn't captured by us in the Seven Forests! ā€

A bearded man at the head shouted.

He pointed to the elven girl in the cage: "Look at her eyes! One has already turned purple, indicating that she has begun to degenerate into a dark elf! She's definitely been kicked out by the elves! ā€

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd began to talk about it......

"So you can buy it back with confidence! Hey, hey, elven girls are very rare in the realm of humans...... Don't you have any ideas? ā€

……

Nightstar glanced faintly at the four bearded men, and then at the hollow-eyed elven girl......

Well......

This is the case......

I guess there's only one thing I should do......

After pondering for a moment......

Nightstar turned around decisively and left......

However, when he had just walked to the periphery of the crowd......

It seems that something suddenly remembered......

What about Kuya?

What about that idiot?

She seems to be next to me just now, right?

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

A feeling of extreme foreboding came over me......

Nightstar hugged his shoulders......

I couldn't help but shudder......
