Chapter 098: Arriving at Qianming Mountain
In the evening, Shentai Mingxue took a few people named to go to the Qianming Mountain Ruins on the bus marked the No. 3 High School, because there were enough places, and everyone sorted out the magic guide in their hands sporadically.
The opaque shield can vaguely see the towns that occasionally wear the protective cover, and occasionally you can see the demonic beasts staring at the protective shield with a fierce light and drooling eyes.
"Excuse me." Zhongli Baiyi approached Shenxue's side and did not sit down directly.
"What's the matter?" Yutai Mingxue nodded, "Please be seated." ”
Zhongli Baiyi sat down and sorted out his thoughts, "Why did you refuse the senior students arranged by the school?" ”
In fact, he heard Shao Linan say that Shentai Mingxue's body had not recovered, and his strength might be less than half of what he used to be, so why did he take the four of them? What can they do when they go? And so on and so on filled his mind.
"Most of the seniors who can be called masters have been taken to the Qianming Mountain Ruins by the president."
Zhongli Baiyi stared at the Shenxue quietly, his eyes clearly showing disbelief.
Yutai Mingxue sighed, "Whether Shangguan is venting his anger at the defeat of the Seventh School War Newcomer War, or really wants the freshmen to gather their will and blood, but on the whole, he has done a very good job of only taking the freshmen, because he is not yet the president of the student union, even if everyone knows that he will succeed him immediately." ”
Zhongli Baiyi frowned and pondered the meaning of these words, and suddenly raised his head, "If you take the senior students to the rescue, Shangguan may be saddled with the notoriety of public opinion......"
"Not bad." Yutai Mingxue nodded appreciatively. She thought that the Shangguan family had no opponents in the third district, and Shangguan Haohui and Zhongli Baiyi might not have thought of this, but Shangguan Haohui's ability to react after the plan was rejected. or Zhongli Baiyi's reflexive wisdom, which is beyond her imagination.
"What about the new students?" Zhongli Baiyi proposed another possibility, to put it simply, he just felt that the rescue team of only five people was unreliable.
"Shangguan Haohui brought the new students who had the courage to challenge, and the remaining freshmen couldn't even arouse their fighting spirit due to the defeat of the seventh school, and it would be a delay to bring them here." There was disdain and disdain in her words.
Zhongli Baiyi took a breath, he didn't know what to say.
Yutai Mingxue raised her eyes and looked at Zhongli Baiyi's nervous and heavy face. smiled: "You should believe in Shangguan Haohui's ability, I don't think things are so bad that a large team goes to the rescue, you must know that there are seniors who are about to graduate." ”
"What news do you know?" Zhongli Baiyi's eyes lit up. Think of the intelligence system of the Tantai family.
"I don't know anything." Shenxue shook his head, Zhongli Baiyi was so worried that he lost his basic judgment, "The ruins of Qianming Mountain are not allowed to be explored by major families, forgot?" ”
Zhongli Baiyi suddenly realized. Oh, yes. How did he forget! This kind of relics that have been developed will be arranged by the Magician Association, and neither the Twenty-Seven Families nor the Ancient Magic Families will be touched.
What does it mean?
Looking at Zhongli Baiyi's confused eyes, Shentai Mingxue said indifferently: "There is absolutely no problem with Shangguan Haohui's strength passing through the Qianming Mountain Ruins, this time there should be an accident." ”
"But the accident is not enough to affect Shangguan Haohui's life."
"Then as long as there is enough heavy straw to overwhelm the scales, it will be enough!"
Zhongli Baiyi asked thoughtfully, "You mean we are the straw?" ”
"You're overestimating yourself." Yutai Mingxue scoffed, "If you can really do that straw, the Zhongli senior inside can also do it." ”
Can you be friends?
Zhongli Baiyi angrily wanted to flip the table, this is a mockery, right? Definitely a mockery.
"And who are you talking about straw?"
"Me and Styx, of course." Shenxue said with a natural face.
Zhongli Baiyi was stunned. His mind is really messed up now, and he doesn't know where the thread is......
"You'll know when the time comes." Yutai Mingxue gave up explaining. Put on your headphones and tilt your head, close your eyes and get ready for sleep.
Yutai Styx stood up and looked at Zhongli Baiyi coldly, but the other party reacted quickly and hurriedly dodged.
"Sister Xue, there are a lot of places anyway, you can go and lie down and sleep in the back."
She looked at the empty last row, stood up and walked over to lie down, her mental state was not very good.
"Master?"
"Dave, what's the matter?" With her eyes closed, she heard Dave's call.
"Do you need plant magic for this rescue?"
"No, I don't." Yutai Mingxue's answer can be said to be cold, "When necessary, I will take Shangguan Haohui to escape with space magic." ”
Dave fell silent in the system after receiving the answer.
Shentai Mingxue raised her arm to block her eyes, if Shangguan Haohui and her team-up still failed, then she could only escape with important people, and there was no way to do it.
But she really became indifferent to life!
The group traveled for three hours, and finally arrived at the range of the Qianming Mountain ruins, and several people in the car looked out the window at the emerald green and black Qianming Mountain, until the bus stopped at the defense line of the Magician Association, and several people got off the car in order.
Two staff members of the Wizards Association hurriedly stepped forward, "We have received a notice from the Third High School, but the Wizards Association has issued a lockdown order, and our search and rescue team will rescue the students safely, please wait in peace at the hotel." ”
Shentai Mingxue and Zhongli Baiyi glanced at each other, the other party obviously thought they were in the way.
The two staff members really felt that these students really had nothing to do, nearly a hundred students lost contact with each other in the Qianming Mountain Ruins, and there were also the quasi-heirs of the Shangguan family inside, which could be said to be under great pressure.
On the orders of the Wizards Association, they have organized many teams to search the ruins, but they can't find any traces of the battle, it's like these hundred students have disappeared out of thin air......
As a result, the previous batch has not been found, and five more students have come to enter. What can you do with such a small number of people?
The Styx remained silent, neither answering nor leaving, but the Styx was used to dealing with this. He stepped forward with an expressionless face, "My sister and I are B-level mercenaries of the Wizards Association, and we have accepted the investigation mission issued by the Wizards Association. ”
After speaking, the information terminal in his hand was lit up and slid to the mission page of the Wizards Association and handed it over, "The remaining few people have B-level mercenaries and C-level mercenaries, and we are a squad." ”
Looking at the eyes of the Styx. Zhongli Baiyi reacted the fastest, stepped forward and opened his information terminal, which showed a B-level mercenary.
Linghu Xiamu approached Zhongli Baiyi. Enter his code on his information terminal, which is also marked by a B-class mercenary.
Shao Linan stepped forward bitterly and took out the information terminal, which showed Shao Linan. C-rank mercenary.
When I didn't enter the third high school. He had always prided himself on his mercenary rank, and most adult mages were B-rank, and if he was given a year, he would be able to rise to B-rank before graduating from high school.
But right now, he was the lowest level in the field.
The two staff members looked at the few people in front of them in surprise, they had finally been promoted to B-level mercenaries, and the C-level mercenaries in this group of students were ashamed of their rank, they were only 16 years old!
One of the staff members felt as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. Stretched out his hand and pointed at the snow of the platform, "What about her?" ”
Shenxue looked at the staff indifferently.
"You can go in. But she can't. The staff clearly believed that their theory was correct, "As a girl, you might as well stay in the hotel and wait for your companion to return safely." ”
Zhongli Baiyi and the others glanced at each other, first dumbfounded, and then couldn't hold back their snickering, and even their worries about their classmates were a little less.
"Styx." Yutai Mingxue pushed his glasses, and his dissatisfied gaze shot at several people.
Zhongli Baiyi was fine, and immediately withdrew his smile and looked into the distance, as if he hadn't heard anything. Linghu Natsuki pounded his chest hard, trying to suppress the laughter that had reached his throat. Shao Linan covered his mouth with both hands, ignoring the heart that alarmed due to lack of oxygen.
Styx coughed hard, glad that he was paralyzed, and handed out the message terminal again, looking at the two unknown staff members, "She is the captain of our operation, and this is the record of her Wizard Guild." ”
The two staff members looked at each other, captain? The girl?
The two of them looked at the information displayed on the information terminal at the same time, and the A-level mercenary, completed the S-class mission twice, the A-level mission 47 times, the B-level mission 278 times, and the C-level mission 16 times.
"The Tantai family!" The two staff members were reminded by the name of the snow in the platform, and finally reacted to the belonging of the group of students in front of them, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Can we go in?" Zhongli Baiyi noticed that the performance of the Shentai Dark Snow was abnormal, and took the lead in asking.
"Yes." The two staff members nodded their heads as quickly as chickens pecking rice, and respectfully stretched out their hands to lead the way, "This way, please." ”
Several people followed one after another.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Linghu Xia Mu quietly approached Shao Linan's ear and asked.
"I just feel like I've lost faith." Shao Linan was depressed.
"You're about to enter the ruins, and you've lost confidence?" Linghu Xia Mu said with a low smile in his throat.
Shao Linan smiled bitterly and looked at the snow in front of him, his eyes full of frustration.
"Hehe, I understand your emotions now." Linghu Xia Mu patted Shao Linan's back hard, and put his arm on Shao Linan's shoulder, "I grew up in the process of being hit by Shangguan Haohui since I was a child, and now I dislike that we can't be independent, which is just embarrassing for us." ”
Shao Linan was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head with a smile, he is also a resident of the third district, of course he knows what kind of existence Shangguan Haohui is for them, but after all, Shentai Mingxue is an outsider from the first district, and she is a girl, so he didn't put her in the same position as Shangguan Haohui.
You must know that Shangguan Haohui is also an A-level mercenary.
Just when Shao Linan and Linghu Xiamu, who were walking behind, were discussing in a low voice, Zhongli Baiyi and Tantai Styx in front were also whispering.
"Why is your sister in the wrong mood?" Zhongli Baiyi manipulated the wind magic so that the sound only sounded in the ears of the Styx.
"Sister Xue has not fully recovered, and there are still sequelae." The Styx did not squint, and skillfully used spatial magic to jump the sound into Zhongli Baiyi's ears.
"Can you tell me what is the most alarming thing about the aftermath?"
Styx thought for a moment, "I guess it's tyrannical." ”
"Tyrannical?" Zhongli Baiyi didn't think this word could be ignored, "Explain it in detail?" ”
"It's just easy to get irritable and then wreak havoc on other people." After finishing speaking, Styx added, "If tyranny attacks, even Brother Styx and I join forces are not Sister Xue's opponents, and Styx at that time was not rational, in case she was banished to another dimension, she would not be able to get it back." ”
Zhongli Baiyi's face changed, "How can you release people without recovery?" ”
"You're the one who came to the door." Speaking of this, the Styx is also overflowing with dissatisfaction.
The two glanced at each other, and at the same time glanced at Shao Linan, it was all his fault.
Shao Linan shuddered.
"What's wrong?" Linghu Xia Mu felt his abnormality most intuitively because he was on Shao Linan's shoulder.
"I felt a deep malice." Shao Linan looked around vigilantly, could it be an enemy? It was they who got the Shangguan and the seniors away.
"You're so annoying." Yutai Mingxue took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose, trying to suppress the unhappiness in her heart.
It's over.
The Styx threw Zhongli Baiyi a cautious look, Zhongli Baiyi nodded invisibly, he didn't think that Linghu Xia Mu could detect the emotional changes of the Styx, or he and the Styx of the Styx should prepare for this.
"Shao Linan, don't think too much." After putting on her glasses, she subconsciously pushed, "Even if there is a trap, it won't be outside the ruins." ”
"Yes. Hehe! Shao Linan smiled awkwardly and remained silent for the rest of the journey.
The two staff members suddenly stopped, and several people looked up, and in front of them was a wide and neat mountain road that coiled around Qianming Mountain.
"This is the entrance to the ruins of Qianming Mountain?" Zhongli Baiyi was the first to ask.
"It's not." The staff shook their heads and explained in detail, "This is the foot of Qianming Mountain, because the location of your classmate's disappearance is unknown, and the search and rescue team of the Magicians Association has not found any traces of possible disappearance." ”
"From this point on, it is the starting point of the assessment of the Qianming Mountain relics." Another staff member opened his mouth to add, raising his hand and pointing to the mountain road.
"But we're not here to conduct a relic assessment?" Linghu Natsuki interjected and asked.
"Shut up." Zhongli Baiyi and Yutai Styx opened their mouths at the same time.
Linghu Xia Mu put his hands behind his head and obediently closed his mouth, he knew that these two people would bully him.
"Let's go." Yutai Mingxue was too lazy to continue to entangle, and he was about to walk towards the road up the mountain when he raised his legs.
"Wait a minute." The two staff members opened their arms at the same time to stop the snow in the platform. (To be continued......)
