Dark...... Is it?

Suddenly, Arrow was a little stunned, looking out the window at the darkness that was completely opaque. At that moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at the holy bread on the bed, and said loudly—

"Uncle Holy Cake! If I'm not mistaken, your staff doesn't go out of light after you leave your hand, do you? So, that staff should be glowing right now, right?! ”

The holy bread lying on the bed fell silent.

It seems that Arrow has asked a very difficult question to answer, and even the high priest himself does not know the answer.

Seeing that the Holy Cake didn't reply for so long, Arrow was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked again: "Uncle Holy Cake?" Isn't it? Will it extinguish the light? ”

All eyes were on the high priest. After a long time, the Holy Cake finally opened his eyes silently, looked at Arrow with a slightly evasive look, opened his mouth, and said softly: "No ......"

But because it was too light, Arrow didn't hear it clearly, so he hurriedly leaned over and asked again, "Uncle Holy Cake, just nod or shake your head!" Yes? Or won't? ”

Faced with Arrow's suddenly approaching face, the priest seemed to be startled by something, and his neck moved back.

A pained look appeared on his face, as if he was making an unusually difficult decision.

Such a decision has been going on for a long, long time......

After Arrow's repeated questioning, and his face getting closer and closer, the priest finally closed his eyes and shook his head gently, as if he had given up completely.

"No...... Is it on? Arrow was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say.

With his eyes closed, the expression of the Holy Bread seemed very tired. He opened his mouth and said in a very tired and painful voice, "No...... It's mine...... Wand...... And between me...... confessed the Lord...... If I actually lose ...... Control over it...... Its power...... will seal itself...... So...... It...... No...... Bright ......"

Speaking...... Tears rolled down the corners of the pastor's eyes.

Coco on the side took out a towel, gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for him, and said in the tone of the president: "Uncle Holy Cake, since the wound is so painful, don't speak." ”

Once again, a twisted look of pain flashed across the Holy Bread's face. Then he closed his mouth and seemed to really stop talking because of the great pain of the wound.

But now, once again, the problem is in front of Arrow.

How can a staff of light that doesn't emit any light be traced? Or is there any way to find the clues of these killer bee members?

Looking at the thick night that could not be dissolved, Arrow shook his head after thinking about it.

He turned to look at the crowd, thought about his plan again, and said, "Although Uncle Saint Cake's Staff of Light won't be lit now, those guys from the Killer Bee Guild don't know this. So...... Why don't we pretend it's going to shine? ”

Cream was slightly stunned and said, "President, what do you mean...... We spread rumors? ”

Arrow took a gold coin from his pocket, bounced it, and listened to the humming sound of the gold flipping in the air, so as to stabilize his mood a little: "That's right, it's spreading rumors. Since they won't come out, let's just force them out! ”

- February 27, 1302, medical expenses: -5 silver, food expenses: -1 silver, 4 bronze and 7 iron, balance: 4 gold, 3 silver, 3 bronze and 5 iron (balance of stolen money: 34 gold, 7 silver and 7 bronze, ticket income: 850 gold, handicap: 677 gold and 9 bronze) The score of the giant mountain and the flame of the soul: 42:40——

Early in the morning, the whole Pelican Town comes alive.

After all, tonight will be the penultimate game of the final stage, and everyone is looking forward to it.

What's more, those gamblers who have already placed bets and hope to win back all the money they lost in one go are now even more excited.

However, in the midst of this noisy town, an unsettling rumor began to slowly spread, as if God was destined to add some hardships to this final stage.

In a high-rise building in the eastern part of town, the Killer Bee Guild is gathering here.

In this ordinary apartment, they ate their breakfast that had been prepared long ago, silently waiting for the passage of time.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the hallway outside the door, and one of the members immediately pricked up their ears to listen. But after confirming that nothing was wrong, he returned to the table.

"President, should we rent a room that costs a little bit more? This room is also too soundproof. ”

Another member snorted and said, "What do you know? This is called the president's foresight. Wouldn't it be dangerous if the soundproofing was too good and we couldn't hear anything outside? The sound insulation is not good, in case those giant mountains, soul flames, or even people from the mermaid song come running, we can also detect it immediately. ”

The two members muttered for a moment before cheating on their feet, and the crowbar slowly made his way to the window after breakfast, cautiously watching the street outside.

At this time, a citizen of Pelican Town was banging on the gong and making a loud announcement as he walked. But because of the distance, and the noise of people on the street, I couldn't hear what the townsman was saying. But vaguely, it seems that he heard news about the staff of light.

"Screwdriver, go down and find out what's going on. Be careful, be sure to keep a low profile. …… No weapons. ”

The member who first questioned the poor soundproofing answered, got up and went out the door, and went downstairs.

After a few moments, he returned, and after carefully closing the door, he said with some nervousness, "President! President Crowbar! Oh no! Something is wrong! ”

Huai Lin, who was meditating on the other side, couldn't help but feel a little irritated when he heard his teammates making such noise: "What are you panicking about? Don't you see how calm our president is? Say what's going on! ”

The screwdriver swallowed, pointed to the staff of light that was leaning against the wall and had a dull body, and said, "President! The townsfolk below said that because the High Priest's staff had been stolen, they had asked everyone to help find it. Of course, it doesn't matter, the most critical question is! The townsfolk also said that their Bright Curia's staff had a master-confessing spell on it, and if it lost control of its master, it would immediately stop any mana output! ”

The other member nodded, "Okay, this thing (gesturing to the staff leaning against the wall) is just dim right now." ”

The screwdriver was a little anxious: "You listen to me!" And that's not all! The most important thing is that if the staff has not returned to its owner within a certain period of time, then the staff will automatically shine very brightly! And it will also send a positioning signal to the owner! So I hope everyone will notify you as soon as you see the staff shining! ”

At this point, the other member was a little stunned. The screwdriver hurriedly looked in the direction of the crowbar, and after seeing that the president of his house still didn't do anything, he stomped his foot, and hurriedly reached out to pull the curtain next to the window.

Syllable!

His hand was grabbed by a crowbar.

"What do you want to do?"

The crowbar snorted.

The screwdriver was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "President! Just in case this staff shines! That...... That's a big deal! ”

"Hmph, shine light, why didn't your head start to shine first?"

The crowbar drained the screwdriver's hand, still with a snort on the corner of his mouth. He leaned against the window, continued to look cautiously outside, and said—

"This is the short man who is playing with us. In this broad daylight, when every household is pulling the curtains to enjoy the sun, we pull up the curtains instead, is there a more obvious hint than this? ”

The guild members still looked a little nervous, and the crowbar leader snorted and sneered, left the window, returned to the table, and said slowly-

"I've seen through that mermaid's trick. He can't find us now, so he wants to force us out. What kind of staff glows and emits positioning magic, have you ever heard of this magic? Huailin, have you heard of it? ”

Huai Lin slowly opened his eyes and said, "No." Although it is said that it is possible to mark an object with magic, I have not heard of such a delay in activation. ”

The screwdriver was still a little urgent: "You haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that the Holy See of Light won't!" President, I still think we should do some preparations......"

"Hahaha! I said you, you're really too nervous. Crowbar took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I'll say it again, this is an outright rumor, a ploy spread to trick us out. And there are even loopholes in this plan. If this staff of light could really emit positioning magic, then they wouldn't reveal this information at all, but would quietly attack it in one go while we weren't looking! ”

Seeing that his own president was so leisurely, the screwdriver also believed it a little, and slowly sat down.

"So, don't think about pulling curtains. Useless! ”

After taking a sip of milk, the crowbar continued, "Also, don't go out today. It's going to be a game tonight, and the mermaid president is probably so anxious that his soul is about to come out. But as a hiding party like us, what we want to know most is definitely information. ”

"As a matter of common sense, we must be desperate to know how they are arranging and what plans they want to make. That's why the short president planned this kind of bluff in order to let us know the mess and mess up ourselves. ”

"So from now on we can't go out. Anyway, we already had plenty of food in the room before, we just had to wait for three days, and when the three days were over, they were finished, and we could go out again. ”
