Chapter 16 Preparations

In the middle of the night,The edge of the school garden of Landu Academy is gradually swallowed up by a black curtain。 The night is as quiet as ink. Suddenly, a wave of agitation rushed out of the thick dark honey, sounding like a roaring plea. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, I realized that it was a spot of light from the end of the forest path, which was an old-fashioned house. Standing outside the house, a bespectacled brunette woman was talking to two coachmen, two men and three women, and the request was made by one of the teenagers, Neil.

Olivia and Freya were both startled by Neil's sudden request, and his bow to them made them even more confused. After a long while, Freya, who had come to her senses, gently patted Olivia. Olivia was a spirit, and then she was a little nervous and said, "Say... Bar, today you... What's the matter with us?" Hearing Olivia's question, Neil slowly straightened up, looked at the two of them, stared into the depths of his eyes, and said, "Tomorrow, Irene, she will trouble you to take care of her!" After speaking, he bowed deeply again. Before Olivia could say anything, Neil only felt a pair of small hands grabbing his palms, and when he turned around, he found that little Erin's moist eyes were staring straight at him, and he choked up and said to himself: "Brother Neil, has Erin done something wrong again? It's all Erin's bad to make Brother Neil angry, and Erin will change it." Please, Nirger, Irene—" said and couldn't stop crying. Neil turned around, gently wiped the tears from Erin's face with his fingers, and said to her, "Erin, don't cry. Just tomorrow day, I'll entrust you to Freya and Olivia. Irene, I may not be able to take care of you tomorrow for some reason, so for your safety I must arrange for someone I trust to protect you, and your sister Freya and Sister Olivia are the most suitable people. Hearing Neil's words, everyone suddenly realized, and little Irene gradually stopped crying.

It's just that Richie's appearance is a little strange at this time, and he suddenly said: "Neil, I can also protect little Irene." Olivia and Freya looked approving, but Neil said, "No, you're not suitable." Tomorrow Erin and her Kingsley will go to the Jinqing Forest to spend the witch's night before they can come back, and when the night comes, the men and women will be separated, so the safety of the night cannot be guaranteed, and Freya and Olivia are the strongest female students I am familiar with, so I will be relatively relieved to hand them over. Also, tomorrow you may have to stay in the Academy, and the people at the Academy will be able to use your talents then. "How about leaving Erin's safety to Miss Fili, whether it is Miss Fili's own strength or the mercenary group behind her, it should be able to guarantee Erin's safety. Richie replied without thinking. "Richie. Fili, who had just walked into the house, suddenly called out to Richie, only to hear her continue: "Richie, are you overestimating our strength, or underestimating the seriousness of the situation in front of you. First of all, our mercenary group itself is currently understaffed, and a considerable number of personnel are not in the Blue Capital, not to mention that when the city is chaotic, they may have to assist Captain Zacks to maintain law and order, so it is difficult to guarantee that nothing goes wrong. And, Richie. Are you underestimating the strength of Landu Academy? Tomorrow, the team that protects the academy Kingsley to the Jinqing Forest, as long as they don't encounter demon beasts, it is no problem to ensure the safety of the students. I think Master Neil's consideration is to add an insurance to this layer of guarantee, so that it is truly foolproof. ”

Fili's words made Richie fall into deep thought, and slowly fell silent. Neil smiled at Firi, then bowed to Freya and the others again, "Please!" "Sister Olivia, Sister Freya, please." Little Erin took Neil's palm and bent down to plead with Olivia. Looking at Neil and Erin in front of them, Olivia and Freya exchanged glances with each other. Olivia said to Neil and the others, "Well, for Irene's sake, we'll grant your request." But how are you going to get us to the team going to the Jinqing Forest tomorrow?" "Olivia, have you forgotten who was here just now?" Richie suddenly interjected. "Isn't there anyone else, Zax, Teacher Sauron, and Teacher Buck. Oh, yes, Teacher Buck..."At this time, Neil, who straightened up, smiled at Olivia, who suddenly came to his senses, and said, "Yes, the main teacher in charge of leading the team to the Jinqing Forest tomorrow is Buck. I've already mentioned this to him before, and he's promised to make you part of Kingsley's Escort, and you'll take Erin to Buck early tomorrow. ”

Seeing that Freya and the others agreed to this, Erin raised her head, looked at them with watery eyes, and said, "Sister Olivia, Sister Freya, Erin has caused you trouble. Olivia and Freya looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Irene, tomorrow, I will ask you to take care of you." The three of them immediately became happy, and the living room was once again filled with the usual laughter.

Neil echoed and smiled, and said, "Okay, that's it, it's not early, it's almost midnight." Erin, it's time for you to get ready for bed. By the way, are Fili, Olivia, and Freya's beds ready?" "It's ready, Master Neil. Neil and Fili's conversation surprised Olivia and the others again. "Eh, no need Sister Fei Li, I won't bother at such a late hour, I guess the coachman outside the door is also in a hurry. Olivia hurriedly rejected Fili's kindness, and without saying a word, pulled Freya, who was also blushing, out of the door, and prepared to take the carriage back, only to find that the carriage that had been parked outside the house was gone. "What's going on, what about the carriage?" "I've sent the coachman back to the carriage. "Why, Miss Fili?" Olivia looked a little fazed. "Master Neil has commanded, and said that if this conversation lasts longer than ten o'clock in the evening, you will be allowed to stay here. The young master's order is to ensure that you have enough physical strength and energy to protect Miss Erin tomorrow, and the premise is to ensure that Miss Olivia and Miss Freya sleep tonight, so I will arrange for you to sleep here tonight. ”

"But—" Before Olivia could speak, little Irene took her and Freya's hands and shouted, "Great, Sister Freya, Sister Olivia, we can sleep together tonight." "Sister Fili, are you staying here tonight?" asked Freya when she suddenly turned her head to Firi. Miss Freya laughed, I just got such important information, I have to go back to discuss the countermeasures with the members of the group. "Then Sister Fili, how are you going back so late now?" asked Freya. Firi pointed into the distance, and Freya noticed a brown Euss horse tethered to the trees in the distance. "Sister Filip. Can we—" "I'm sorry, Miss Freya, but this Eusse horse is designed to be a single horse. And just now I received a communication from Buck and the others, asking me to take Richie to the school campus when I went back, and I heard that Richie's carriage had broken down and sent him for repair. At this point, Richie shrugged at Olivia and Freya. Then Fili looked at Richie, motioned for Richie to go back with her, and after saying goodbye to everyone, he rode the Eussian horse with Richie and disappeared from sight in the distance.

With Richie and Filip gone, only Neil, Erin, Freya, and Olivia were left in the house. The embarrassing situation of one man and three women made the atmosphere freeze there for a while. But after tonight's sudden series of important events, young girls like Rao Olivia and Freya are also tired of it, not to mention that Erin can't even open her eyelids now. Tiredness broke the stalemate so easily, and Olivia blushed and said to Neil, "Don't think anything strange! If you do anything strange after falling asleep at night, don't blame me and Freya for being unkind." We're very good, huh!" With that, he pulled Freya and Irene upstairs without looking back, took a shower, and prepared for bed.

In the middle of the night, Freya and Olivia slept in Neil's room, and the two began to discuss the various "quirks" and "oddities" of the room owner in a whisper about the various furnishings of the room, when suddenly footsteps came from the stairs. "It's coming. Both of them whispered at the same time, and at the same time pretended to be asleep, and they listened carefully to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, but they did not want to listen, when the accumulated sleepiness suddenly struck, and they both fell into a deep sleep. In this way, the night slipped away silently, ushering in the short dawn that belongs to tomorrow.

Early in the morning, the two woke up to a quick knock on the door, and it turned out that Erin had come to call them to get up. "Freya, didn't that guy come?" Faced with Olivia's question, Freya, who was hastily dressed, did not answer, which was considered a tacit acquiescence. Just as the two of them were about to go downstairs, a book suddenly caught Olivia's attention, a book called Personality Skills, and just as she was about to flip through it, Freya, who was standing at the top of the stairs and was ready to go, called out to her and told her that everyone was waiting for her downstairs. Olivia hurried downstairs with her, only to see Freya and Erin waiting for her with Teacher Buck, while Neil was still sitting on the couch.

After the group left, Neil, who had been sitting on the sofa all night, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the miserable sky outside the window, and said to himself, "Is it finally started?", and then put on his uniform and loaded two knives. A young "strange monk" walked towards the school park.
