CH.43 Ghost in the Night (1)
"Aren't you two going?"
After a while, Wendy walked out of the bathroom with a bath towel around her and asked strangely.
Seeing that the two were sitting on the sofa intimately talking, she laughed out loud:
"Hug so tightly, you two have such a good relationship."
"Dead Wendy, are you jealous? Sister Xia and I have the best relationship in the whole school park! ā
Agnes hugged Natsu's neck and said proudly.
"Alright, alright, I got it."
Wendy seemed to feel a little cold and walked over and closed the window.
"Don't you really wash it? It's very comfortable after washing. ā
Wendy tilted her head and wiped her hair with a towel as she said.
"No, let's get down to business first." Thinking about what happened to Agnes and her vampire parents, and thinking about the previous treacherous battle, those chaotic thoughts in her mind were eliminated, and she felt more and more important to improve her strength.
Only when you are strong enough can you truly control your future destiny, otherwise everything is just empty talk.
"But it's really rare for Wendy to put her hair down, is this called Jin Changzhi? It's really earned. ā
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for someone to relapse into their old ways, staring at Wendy's exposed skin and long moist blonde hair.
With her hair almost wiped off, Wendy reached out and pulled off the towel and began to get dressed.
"Sister Xia, don't look at her."
Agnes had been observing Wendy's movements with hostility, and when she saw her take off her bath towel, she immediately covered Natsu's eyes, and Natsu only saw one back.
After a while, Xia reluctantly took Agnes's hand and asked Wendy:
"Who were those people just now? Why are you making all the noise outside, I think I still hear something princess......"
"Sister Xia, I know! Those men were Evelyn's subordinates. ā
Agnes hastened to reply, but with some disdain in her words.
"Evelyn? Hyrison's sister, no wonder others call her that. Xia thought about it, but recalled that there was such a character.
There's a reason why Helrison himself is known as the "Amorous Prince", as he is indeed a descendant of the royal family, and Evelyn is his sister and the only woman in the direct royal line. In Westminster, Evelyn is as famous as Otileia, the daughter of Prince Keoro, except that the latter is known for her beauty, gentle personality, and astrology, while Evelyn is known for her bad temper.
"Those people occupy the noble quarters, which contain food reserves and strong defensive circles, and when I first went to look for them, Evelyn and the others were reluctant to let the students take refuge in them, nor did they want to come with us to the library."
Wendy got dressed, and while arranging her black stockings, she said with resentment:
"The dining hall of the aristocratic dormitory has always been the most luxurious place in the whole school park.,They occupy about half of the food reserves in the entire school park.,When there was a shortage of food here, I once sent someone to Evelyn to ask for supplies.,But they refused.ć Now I don't know where to get the news that we went to the reserve warehouse, so I arrogantly sent someone to ask for the power equipment. ā
"Wendy, you're too weak, but you're also the second in line to the Cantor family, it's funny that the descendants of the famous northern queen can be crushed by Evelyn's stupidity."
Agnes sarcastically said to her.
"There is no king of the north."
Wendy's body shook when she heard this name, her face changed, and she straightened up and said.
"Egnes!"
Xia said with disgust.
Agnes stuck out her tongue and lay down in her arms, not saying a word.
"I've had to send someone to Darrow about Jersey, and I've got some of the reports." Wendy put the conversation to an end and sat down in her chair and got down to business:
"Xia, I hope to hear from you again about what happened...... Jersey's disappearance,There's one less vice president for the school park.,It's also a big deal for Canto's family.,Jersey's father has some influence in the king.,If the other party has a grudge.,Although he may not dare to do anything to you.,But it's always a trouble.ć ā
"Okay." Xia briefly talked about her experience of going to the northern cliffs with the team, of course, she hid a lot of things that should not be said, because she couldn't explain them to others.
Seeing Wendy sitting there silent after listening, Xia's heart moved, and he added something that he didn't have originally:
"Actually, I later investigated the cave alone, and found some unusual places, the cave was not completely natural, except for the top and the ground, I found that there seemed to be traces of artificial excavation in the surrounding rock walls."
"Really?"
Wendy shook off when she heard this, and showed an interested look.
"Because it was dangerous, two more of the strong members of our squad fell, so I didn't just let the team stay there, but went straight back to the library; I'm going to send someone there to investigate right now, and maybe I'll find some clues, because I suspect ...... It's about the magician's dwelling! ā
Xia Sha said matter-of-factly.
In fact, where has she investigated, and she, a half-consultant, doesn't know how to investigate at all; It's just that there is a description in the plot, so she took the opportunity to tell it and speed up the speed at which everyone got out of the predicament in front of them.
"Very well, I'll send someone to take a look now."
Wendy stood up with her hands on the table, her eyes sparkling.
"Actually, you don't need to look for anyone else, you have a good candidate in front of you."
Xia said with a grin, and then pointed to himself.
"You? Of course you'll be fine if you go, but you've just come back from the battle, don't you need to take a break? And the injury on your left arm ......," Wendy said with some hesitation.
"If Sister Xia wants to go, I'll go with me this time! Don't separate me from Sister Xia anymore. ā
Agnes hugged Natsu and said.
"Yes, Agnes's role in this mission is quite important, and she needs to go with her."
Natsu touched Gornice and said to Wendy.
"It's okay, but Lorraine has been seriously injured, and there aren't actually many high-level warrior students in the academy, except for Lorraine and Abner, the strength of the others is a little ...... I can't find any team members who can fight with you at the moment. ā
"It's okay, I'll just take care of the warriors with Alberner, but I'd like to ask you for a magician."
Natsu blinked and said a name.
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
"If Agnes is here, why do you have to come along?"
On the path of the northern cliff, Natya Vida walked ahead in anger, and said unhappily to Natsu who was following her.
There is no doubt that she is the one Xia asked Wendy for.
Although Wendy was hesitant at the time, because Natia Vida was also an important force in the library; But because this time the exploration team led by Xia was indeed a little shabby in terms of strength, and finally reluctantly agreed.
"You're the most powerful elemental mage in the school.,This mission is very important.,How can I find you, the great magician.ć Xia cheekily grabbed her arm and said.
āā¦ā¦ I see, let me go. ā
Although Natyavida said to let go, she didn't shake off Natsu's arm.
"I don't know what you think, you can leave again in the morning, don't you know if the undead will become more difficult at night? I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past two days. ā
She complained.
"Hehe, our magic star is beautiful even if it doesn't sleep for a few days."
Natsu said with a grin, without explaining her doubts.
The key to finding clues this time is time, you must come at night, not during the day or dusk, and you must choose it late at night.
Natya Vida was a little helpless at her cheekiness, and glanced back at Zero, who followed the team silently:
"Who is that little boy who has been wearing a black robe, your little lover?" Her tone was a little sour.
"Well, that's a very poor child."
When Natsu saw that Agnes and the others were in the distance, she leaned into Natia Vida's ear and said:
"She's not a boy, she's the little girl from the seventh room in Jersey, and she was severely abused inside, and I decided to keep her around and hide her, and let her go back to her when we get out of here."
Hearing the words of the seventh real room, Natya Vida's face also changed, obviously she knew what kind of place it was.
"Your courage is too big, the person in charge of the real yĆ n room is Ms. Taos, she is an authority in the kingdom's scientific and technological research, even the head of the school doesn't dare to provoke her, you actually took her real object away secretly!" She said in a low voice.
Xia was also a little helpless, she originally wanted to find Di Liya to help remove the shackles on her hands, but Di Liya may have hid because of her weak heart, and she didn't find it for a long time. And she didn't dare to take the risk of zero injury to use a knife to chop, so in the end she had to continue to wear it and follow her.
"Humph!"
In the team behind the two, Agnes saw Natia Vida, who was whispering intimately to Natsu in front of her, and slapped the wheelchair hard.
"I'm so envious that I can have such an intimate conversation with my sister."
There was also a person next to her who whispered, and the voices of both people rang out at the same time.
Then the two men looked at each other and twisted their heads away.
Walking beside Agnes was none other than Lizzy El, and this time, for some reason, Xia brought her with her.
Although her strength is not outstanding, and she is a first-year freshman in the firearms department, Wendy is a very precious sister, Xia Hao said, patted her chest and swore that she would never let little Al be in danger, and Wendy finally reluctantly agreed to let her go with the team.
"Natsu, if El has any accidents, I will hate you for the rest of my life."
Before leaving, Wendy looked at Natsu with a complicated gaze and said this.
may have regarded Xia as her friend, and she no longer has the scruples brought by the identity of the student president, and when the two of them are alone, they talk very directly.
"Don't look at the fact that Agnes and Al have a very different personality, but Agnes has never tried to get along with anyone else at all, and I hope there will be a change this time."
Xia paid attention to the movements of the two little guys behind him and thought in his heart.
"Is this a cave with a thousand bell flowers, it's so beautiful."
The group arrived in the cave, and Natyavida looked at the green points of light that shone like stars, and said in admiration.
Although there have been fierce battles before, the cave is quite large, and most of the area has been preserved in its original appearance.
"Wow! What the hell is this? ā
A female team member looked at the inside of the thousand bell flowers curiously, but immediately fell on the ground and vomited.
"Don't worry, the production department makes all the processed food for everyone, and we won't bring these bugs and animal carcasses into it." Al patted the female team member on the back and explained.
"Thank you, but ......"
The female team member still had a disgusted expression.
"It's so uncommon-sense, don't you know that a lot of food is watered and grown with human and animal excrement? What's this matter, laughing to death. ā
A cold voice came from the side, it was Agnes.
"Whew!"
The female student was so frightened that she immediately ran behind Al and hid.
"It's a bit ugly, but it's true, a lot of food isn't good."
Al said comfortingly to the female team members behind him.
Egnes snorted and gestured, and the man behind her pushed her away.
"Al, you're so good, you dare to speak so calmly in front of that Egnes, she hasn't scolded you yet."
This female team member is also a trainee in the firearms course, but she carries a sniper rifle on her back and is responsible for remote support; Al was carrying a rifle on his back and was responsible for short- and medium-range suppression, and it was hard to imagine that this well-behaved little girl had chosen such a violent profession.
Maybe she was just talking to me in her own way, but she was just a little clumsy.
Al thought as he looked in the direction of Agnes' departure.
She is a very intelligent and introverted girl, pure and sensual, so it is easy to tell that the other party is not really a bad person.
"What are the results of the investigation?"
Natyavida tapped the short staff in her hand at the rock wall and asked the team members who were observing the rock wall in front of her.
"If there's no problem here, just go over there."
Watching Natya Vida and the two team members go into the distance, Natsu sighed to himself.
Although she used a little trick to bring Natia Vida over, but the other party showed no signs of melting, how did she offend her?
She wanted to make physical contact with Natiavida like she did with Wendy, but as long as she made an intimate gesture of pulling her arm or more, she would be immediately run away.
"Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be angry, just wait until the matter is over to ask her." Natsu brushed the strands of hair hanging down on her face behind her ears, and suddenly felt that her hair was too long and a little in the way, so she had to find a way to cut it shorter when she turned around.
"Ahh What is that? ā
Suddenly, one of the female team members in the cave shouted.
"What are you shouting about, isn't that just a ghost? It's all too common on this island. ā
The teammate next to her said dissatisfied.
Phantom?
Natsu, who was squatting in a corner alone and pretending to search, stood up: the time she had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived!
