Chapter 953: Seeking the Hidden in the Heart of the Earth (26)
That's right, at this moment, Albert is humming a little tune while calmly wiping his sword, which is outrageously relaxed.
Seeing this scene, Chanel, the elf girl who was in the same team as the tiger, couldn't help it: "Why are you still so optimistic?" When a pair of candidates set off to enter the Jilimanjaro Volcano Underground Palace, Chanel became more and more impatient, and was pacing annoyably between Albert and Elaine at the moment:
"We were almost four hours behind the team that started early, and even if we ran after the start, we couldn't make up for the gap. Why don't you be nervous, at least be ready to sprint at any time?!" "Don't worry, everything is in my hands." The tiger smiled triumphantly, as if he had a firm mind.
"I don't know why I got into your group. The elven girl almost went crazy, "I don't think your stupid tiger is going to win the exam at all, is it?" The tiger ignored Chanel's invective, "It's not our turn to set off yet, and it's useless for you to be in a hurry." But it's annoying that you're in a hurry there, so I'll tell you. I had a way to go straight to where I was going to be -- I knew where [that thing] was they were talking about. "You... You know?" said the elven girl, incredulously.
"Oh, I know. Albert smiled mysteriously and continued to wipe his sword with a clean cloth, "Or rather, [Xiaobai] knows." Although the Demon Sealing Bracelet can seal Xiaobai's power, it can't stop Xiaobai from communicating with me. This time, Xiaobai took the initiative to tell me the location of [that thing], so there will be absolutely no mistake. At this point, Chanel was even more puzzled, of course she would not know that Albert had the Holy Spirit in his body, and she thought that the tiger was just talking about it.
"I don't believe it. The elf girl looked at the tiger with contempt: "What nonsense are you talking about, idiot!" As Chanel's dislike for Albert increased, the elf girl became more and more polite when talking to the tiger, and the hurtful words were simply straight to the point surging towards the tiger youth.
But this was also expected by the tiger, he was not particularly angry, but called out: "Elaine, can you come and stop meow?" "Oh, oh, okay." The White Bear Man walked over and sat down in front of the tiger like this, blocking the sight of the candidates on the opposite side with his tall (fat) (fat) body.
Although, there is little point in doing so. Those anxious candidates didn't have time to pay attention to the situation on the tiger's side - Albert's team was a veritable crane tail team, and the rankings of the three people were all in the bottom tens of digits, and it was a matter of course that they were despised or even ignored by other candidates.
That's exactly what Albert wanted. If he doesn't go unnoticed, his actions are much easier.
After making sure that no one was peeping, the tiger secretly took out his cat tail, held the end of the tail up, and showed it to Elaine and Chanel: "Let me show you, my partner, [Xiaobai]. Chanel thought that the tiger was just talking nonsense and didn't bother to pay attention to him. But Albert had already raised his tail for someone to see, and she glanced at it reluctantly without looking at the elven girl's own curiosity.
Something, coming out of the end of the tiger's tail.
Spirits. Translucent spirits.
It was very small, but it quickly took on a recognizable form, the shape of a kitten.
"Meow~" It made a very small call, very low-key.
"Well... It's so cute. Elaine whispered with a red face.
"What is this, pet?" Chanel couldn't help but laugh, but the elf girl actually silently said the same words as the white bear man in her heart, "It's so cute!" The tiger immediately defended himself: "I wear a demon bracelet, my strength is not easy to use, and I don't want to be too conspicuous, so I let Xiaobai show people in this form." But what you see is my Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit White Tiger, Xiaobai. "Yes... Sure enough, people are like their names, and things are like their masters. The elf girl didn't forget to damage the tiger: "I guess you are also the same weak, right?" "We are weak or not, we don't need you to care." Albert put up with Chanel's taunt again: "But you have to believe that Xiaobai will tell us the right way." It has a special ability to perceive all kinds of antiquities, and the older it is, the more clearly it can feel it. Somewhere three thousand feet below our feet, there is a very, very, very ancient artifact, and Xiao Bai can already feel it here, and it is stirring in my body at this moment. "Three thousand feet?" Seeing the tiger's serious expression, the elf girl was a little convinced: "It's a long way." "Coupled with the intricate structure of the labyrinth, it can only go further. So, in fact, the four-hour gap is not a big deal at all. If you know how to walk, you can reach it in about a day, and if you don't know how to walk, you will not be able to find the north after two or three days in the maze. We may be the last to leave, but we'll be the first to arrive at [that thing], so you can rest assured!" Chanel didn't quite believe in Tiger yet, "What the truth is, we'll wait until we actually find [that thing]." Anyway, what the hell is [that thing]? The examiners don't tell us anything, just expecting us to find the right treasure?" Albert replied categorically, "Definitely." Even when sealed so deep underground, the thing still exudes immense power. I think if we see it with our own eyes, we will know that it is [that thing], and it can't be wrong. At this point, the Knight of the Round Table called out, "Thirty-fifth in the average points ranking: Thirty-seventh group - Zhalfir and Segrade, you are ready to go." The two leopard youth and their white-haired young teammates rushed out impatiently at this time, and their figures disappeared in the white ice mist at the entrance of the underground palace in an instant.
"Why do they get to the front of this meow, the two of them are obviously the tail of the crane. Albert said unconvinced.
A voice explained, "Because their team consisted of three people, and the remaining candidate named Mordred, who ranked third among all the candidates, pulled up the scores of the two kittens in disguise. "Oh, it's meow. The tiger was stunned for a moment, and a strange voice came into their conversation: "Hey, who was talking just now?" "It's me." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, they thought it was a good candidate coming to join in the fun, but they didn't expect that the owner of the voice turned out to be an even more great person, the Grand Duke Hall, the heavenly knight of Great Britain.
The old man was supposed to be in his nineties, but for some reason, the brave knight and knight of the round table still looked like a musclish, middle-aged man - at least in Albert's memory, Hall was exactly the same as it had been seven years earlier, completely unchanged.
"Why meow are you again...... Albert pursed his cat mouth and looked at Hale coldly, looking extremely bored.
"Yo, boys, are you so cold, don't you even bother to say hello?" Grand Duke Hall's gaze never left the tiger man.
"Meet the Grand Duke. The elven girl bowed.
"Hello grandpa. Elaine also hurriedly bowed.
(Note: Since Konstantin always referred to Hall as "Grandpa", Elaine occasionally learned to do so, though only in informal settings.) "Needless to say, I am not the examiner of this exam, I just came to see the situation. Hale waved his hand, "Anyway, what you guys just said seemed interesting? Can you listen to it too?" "Topic?What meow?" Albert deliberately played dumb.
Hale continued to play the tiger's words: "Oh, you know, you just said that [who] can sense [that thing] underground?" "Are you asking about Xiaobai?" Chanel said casually, "Xiaobai is not his—woo!" Before she could finish speaking, Albert covered her mouth with a cat's paw.
"Hahaha, no meow! really no meow!" Tiger smirked, "We're just talking and playing." How could that be possible!" "Hmph, that's hard to say-" Hall looked at the tiger with an extremely subtle gaze: "[Creatures] in this world may not have this ability. But who knows?—maybe there's something beyond the concept of [living things] that can do what humans can't?" the tiger was silent.
"Be careful. Hall smiled mysteriously and patted the tiger on the shoulder, "Dealing with something that transcends biological boundaries requires extra care. You never know when it will bite you back or even devour you completely. You have a dangerous toy in your hand, so don't get hurt by it. (He knows.) Albert: Their conversation may have been fully heard by Grand Duke Hall. Or perhaps, Hall, who is observant of everything, has long known about the Holy Spirit in the tiger's body. Either way, Albert only hoped that the other party was not looking for trouble.
"What you said, Bedi has said before. The tiger man shrugged his shoulders disdainfully: "And my answer is: This matter has nothing to do with you. I didn't break the rules of the Round Table Trials, did I? The power is in your hands, and you can do whatever you want, as long as the conditions allow. A trace of regret crossed the old man's face: "I just kindly reminded you." Without further ado, I wish you all the best in your exams. Hall nodded slightly at the three of them, and turned to leave.
"What the hell is he, what is he here for? Elaine couldn't help but be depressed.
"It's just a nosy old man, leave him alone. What are you meowing for?!" The tiger suddenly grinned, and his cat paw was bitten with hatred, and the pain was terrible: "Wow! it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!" "Are you finally willing to let go of your dirty hands?" Chanel's mouth was covered by Albert, and she was furious, and she was about to find someone to vent.
