CH.94 Maria's Secret
"Hidden room?"
Hearing this word, an illusion suddenly appeared in Xia's heart that he was exploring.
"Is it this wall, are there any traps or anything in there?"
She stood in front of the wall that Stephanie had spoken of, knocked on it, and found that the sound was dull, not like it had a mezzanine.
"Yes! Master, this room seems to be just a storage place, but there are many traps, but most of them are ineffective because of age. ā
"Master, I found a passage that we can bypass from the outside."
Stephanie took Natsu outside, and by this time the riot caused by the sudden earthquake had subsided, and there were many fewer people patrolling.
Stephanie took Natsu to a very remote corner, and then said to Natsu:
"The exit from that room seems to lead to the back of the library, I haven't looked anywhere, but I can make a hole here and go straight into the passage that connects to the exit."
"Wait a minute, someone's coming."
After Xia finished speaking, he activated his stealth skill.
Two patrol cadets yawned and seemed to have just been woken up from their sleep.
I heard one of them say:
"What the hell was going on just now, was it really an earthquake?"
"I don't know...... But anything can happen on this damn island, and we can't afford to be careless. ā
The other said as he pulled himself together and held the magic lamp in his hand and looked around.
"By the way, when we passed by the kitchen just now, I saw that the president was not sleeping, I don't know what he was doing there, and he seemed to be talking to someone."
"Don't you think the air smells a little weird? Looks like it's going to rain......"
The two walked as they talked, and quickly left the place.
"I've been studying the assassin profession for so long, and today I have a bit of an infiltration, and if those two students just now are enemies, I can ...... Hum. ā
Looking at the two of them full of flaws, Xia Sheng, who was lurking on the side, had a wonderful feeling.
She returned to the area that Stephanie had spoken, plunged the long black knife into the ground, and wrenched it with mana.
"Pop ......"
There was a slight sound of rubble, revealing a dark passage below.
"Master, there is no poisonous gas in it, but the air is very dirty, Jian yƬ will go down after a while."
Stephanie and Natsu squatted beside them, watching the cold wind pour into it for a long time, and finally got in.
"Peng!"
After passing through the long passage, Xia used a knife to pry open a small metal door, which seemed to be not particularly strong because it was built too hidden and hastily.
"Hey!"
Natsu jumped inside under Stephanie's guidance.
When she landed, she found that it was a small storage room of less than twenty square meters.
"What are these glowing things?"
The first thing she saw was an open box with a blue glow inside.
"It's a small box of magic crystals, master."
Stephanie replied.
Xia was overjoyed when he heard the word magic crystal, but then he showed a disappointed expression when he heard that there was only a small box.
She walked over and took one out of it, and found that it was an oval, egg-shaped crystal with many irregular facets on the surface, a bit like a gemstone on the market, but could give off a shimmer in the dark.
"This kind of magic crystal is the common magic crystal that is popular in the kingdom, and the quality is very average."
Stephanie commented.
"Whatever, if I find out, it's mine."
Natsu poured all these magic crystals into the bag around his waist.
"These are high-quality magic crystals, master, but unfortunately there are fewer of them."
Stephanie found several dark red crystals on a cabinet again.
"It's mine!"
Xia unceremoniously swept it into his bag again.
"What are these cabinets for? Looks like it's very well guarded. ā
She looked at the dust-covered contraptions on the walls, which were supposed to be the traps Stephanie had mentioned, and there were large and small cabinets not far from the devices.
"I don't know, master, do you want to open it and take a look? Maybe there's something good. ā
"Let me check first, maybe there's a magical enchantment in there."
Natsu touched the surface of the cabinet a few times with her hand, and then opened one under the guidance of Stephanie as an expert.
āā¦ā¦ What the hell is this, only one such a small thing? ā
Somewhat disappointed, she pulled out the only item inside, which looked a bit like a memory used to store information.
"This cabinet is also ...... This one is simply empty! ā
The two of them opened the cabinets in the entire small room, and finally found only three devices that were suspected to be memories, and the harvest was terrible.
"These memory devices should be usable on the terminals of the private inquiry room, do you want to see what's inside?"
Stephanie presents a building yƬ.
"Search for a while, and we'll go back if we don't find anything else."
Xia reluctantly checked the entire room again, but found nothing, and finally the two came out of the passage and returned to the inquiry room.
"But there's no electricity here, so why don't you wake Wendy up? It doesn't seem to be good. ā
She looked worriedly at the pitch-black terminals.
"Master, since you have a magic crystal, you don't need electricity, these terminals are hybrids."
Stephanie opened the innermost terminal, revealing a groove about the size of the magic crystals Xia had gotten.
ā¦ā¦
"President, it's really ...... that you're still here to help me so late."
Next to the kitchen, Maria, a student of the Department of Living, was watering the food she had grown, and her eyes were a little moist.
She had a white gauze on her face, and Evelyn's guards were strong, and the wounds from the beatings didn't seem to heal.
"Is it needed here?"
Wendy was holding a bucket of water, and it was hard to imagine that this blonde lady with two ponytails would actually plant.
"It's a plant that's not water-tolerant, just a little watering is fine."
Maria walked over to Wendy and helped her scoop a little water from the bucket and sprinkle it on the ground, using light force, but evenly dripping.
Wendy's eyes were fixed on her hand as she slowly placed the bucket on the ground.
"Maria, can I ask you a question?"
Hearing her words, Maria's body paused.
She did not turn her head at once, but said in a gentle tone:
"President...... You can ask whatever you want. ā
With that, she turned around, the corners of her mouth slightly curled, and smiled kindly at Wendy.
Although she is not very beautiful, this smile makes people look very warm.
"After you were beaten by Princess Evelyn's guards, where did those two fallen teeth go?"
Wendy didn't have a smile on her face, her hand was inside her clothes, and she held a short staff inside.
"Hmm...... Are you talking about those two teeth, unfortunately I lost them. ā
Alia put her hand on her face and made a thoughtful look, then she lowered her hand with a regretful expression.
"Are you telling the truth?"
A figure suddenly stepped out of the corner behind her, standing there and asking.
"Are you...... Captain Raven? ā
Maria seemed to be a little confused:
"Are you here to help, too? You don't need that many people here ......"
"Maria, we're not here to help, as for what we're going to do, you should know very well in your heart."
Wendy's hand holding the cane was taken out of her clothes and said in a deep voice.
"I really don't understand ......"
Maria's expression looked innocent.
"Then I'll let you understand."
In the other direction, another person walked over, the lenses on his eyes reflected the light, and his expression looked a little cold.
"Luo Ye Senpai?"
As if she was familiar with the visitor, she said in surprise.
"Maria,Before the transfer of the school park,Do you remember the killing of a female student?"
Luo Ye walked to her side and formed a triangle with the other two.
"Remember, what did the seniors want to say?"
Maria still had the same cowardly and well-behaved expression, and she couldn't see any change in her face.
"Looks like you're going to play to the end, Maria-san."
Luo Ye had a book in her hand, she slowly turned the pages, and looked at the book:
"I investigated the blood samples you left in the library lobby and found something very interesting."
"Oh?"
Maria's demeanor suddenly turned cold:
"What's the matter?"
Luo Ye seemed to take something out of the book, and then raised her head:
"Your blood...... Doesn't seem to be quite the same as humans? ā
"Smack!"
The spoon in Maria's hand suddenly broke in two.
Then she stood there with her head bowed, not uttering a word.
"The strength seems to be greater than that of ordinary people, but it seems to be a lot worse than Abner's dwarf winter melon, not like a high-ranking vampire species, then it is a person who has been embraced for the first time or baptized three times."
Luo Ye looked at the broken spoon at her feet and analyzed coldly.
"You're the murderer."
Raven's eyes showed a sharp look, and he pulled out the thin sword at his waist and pointed at her:
"Maria of Westminster Academy...... In the name of the Knights of the Silver Sheath, I'm going to capture you here tonight, and you'd better cooperate, or I'm welcome. ā
"Six Shields Divine Enchantment!"
Wendy's short staff glowed from the side.
A transparent screen of light was erected where the four of them stood, and six small golden shields kept spinning outside, enclosing them in it.
Maria's face jerked up, and her eyes turned blood-red at some point!
"Whew-"
After a soft sound, her figure vanished in place, and the next time she appeared, the distance between her and the nearest Luo was half.
"It seems that as calculated, I seem to be considered the weakest one by you."
Luo Ye pushed her glasses.
She closed the book and drew a straight line in the air with one palm forward.
Three cards glowing purple appeared in front of her, suspended in the air, with a faint flash of light on them.
"Roar!!"
An inhuman roar erupted from the depths of Maria's throat, and her hands turned into sharp claws, grabbing at Rosea!
"Seal the magic card - deep purple".
Luo Ye stretched out her finger and flicked it lightly, and a card in front of her flew out, which was printed right on Maria's face who rushed over.
When the card touched her face, it burst into purple arcs of electricity, enveloping her entire head inside.
"-Woo-ah-ah!!"
Maria covered her face, let out a high-pitched scream, and rolled on the ground.
"Although you are a student of the Department of Science and Technology, you don't seem to remember what I said: the power of science is very powerful, and you should not underestimate science at any time."
Luo Ye looked at Maria who was rolling on the ground with an indifferent gaze:
"Of course...... Your mind has been corrupted, your flesh has become irretrievable, and there is no point in remembering it. ā
