Chapter 29 The Abnormal Vice President
"President Wendy, I have a plan to have Agnes lead a team to investigate the mage's residence; Vice President Jersey might as well let him be in charge of the defense of the demon Laktoya, just now Abner-sanctum played a big role in the battle with the demon, I think the two of them together will play a greater role, after all, you mentioned more than once, the security of the library is very important now. ”
Natsu said to Wendy.
"But the pressure on Egnes is too great, after all, that magician is most likely a powerful being of the ancients, and his residence should be very dangerous." Wendy hesitated.
"I'm sure she's fine." Natsu put her hand on Agnes' shoulder and looked at her with a smile.
When she smiled, she immediately straightened the eyes of everyone present, including those female students.
"Before...... Have you ever seen Xia laugh? A girl pulled the sleeve of the girl next to her and said.
"No, her face has always been expressionless."
"Although the cold classmate Xia is very beautiful, he is also so ...... when he laughs today Ah, I seem to have a strange feeling. The girl said as she held her flushed cheeks with both hands and closed her eyes.
Her smile turned out to be like this.
Lorraine looked quietly at the face that melted like ice and snow, and was a little stupid for a while.
However, some people's eyes reveal the desire of Chiguo.
If the previous coldness had built a defensive wall for Xia, coupled with the family's warning, many people did not dare to fight her idea, but now this wall has a tendency to disappear, it will undoubtedly give them a chance. If you can't use force, can't you trick her into your hands?
"Xia has contacts with the Westminster royal family and the upper echelons of the Order, and if I can hold her in the palm of my hand, it may be of great help to my future development."
Jersey was like that, his eyes full of ambition flashed in his eyes, but he didn't even notice it, and there was a hint of tyranny in it at some point.
"Ahem...... In this case, your squad will have one less strong member, and the library will no longer be able to send out high-ranking mages. After all, Wendy is also a beauty of a very high standard, and she just stayed for a while before she recovered, coughed and said.
"I have some research on how and where the thousand bell flowers grow." Xia turned around and said, "Is the classmate who found the thousand bell flowers here?" I would like to ask her some questions. ”
"I am."
It was a red-eyed schoolgirl who walked out of the crowd with gloves on her hands.
"She's Maria, a first-year student in the production department and a median elemental magician, who is now in charge of handling the ingredients for everyone." Wendy introduces Natsu.
"Maria, did you feel anything unusual when you found the thousand bell flowers?" Natsu asked.
"Nothing out of the ordinary seems to be there...... That day, we went to the north to explore under the protection of the mage group, and when I got to the cliff, I found that there were some plants climbing on the mountain wall, so I guessed that there should be a suitable place for plants to grow above the cliff, and then I asked a classmate who is good at wind to take me to fly up...... Woo, woo woo woo ......"
Speaking of this, she suddenly cried out sadly.
"She is also a member of the search team four, and the edible thousand bell flower is what she found and handed to me, because everyone needs food supplies and there are too few students in the production department, she did not participate in the next action, so she is the only person left in the four groups at present." Wendy said with some sighs.
"Crying for what? When is it now, still crying? You're also a student of our Wang Li School Park.,Will you make it clear completely! Jersey suddenly came up to Maria and yelled at her.
"I, I see, I don't cry anymore...... "Maria said as if she was very afraid of him, wiping away her tears.
"Jersey, stand down."
For the first time, Wendy expressed her disgust at the vice president, and gently held Maria in her arms, her thin golden eyebrows erected.
"President, I'm also thinking about everyone, think about it, now there are so many people whose lives and deaths are uncertain, which of the representatives and powerful students is not conscientious and busy?" Jersey raised his arms and made a speech gesture: "But classmate Xia is obviously asking about something very important, but she is crying and delaying time, if someone is unfortunately killed, I am afraid she will also have to bear a responsibility!" ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly sneered:
"It's not just her, Wendy, now you, as the one who protects her, will also have faults that you can't escape when the time comes."
"I will bear my mistakes, so I don't have to worry about Vice President Lao."
Wendy bit the word "vice president" very hard this time.
"Hey, Jersey, are you wasting your time now?" Darrow didn't know when he stood next to him and said sarcastically.
"I'm teaching new students how to do things! No need for anyone else to talk about it, Darrow! What are you? "Jersey is really like a mad dog now, biting people at sight, his eyes bloodshot, and yelling at Daro.
This vice president seems to be in a bit of a normal state.
There was something strange in Xia's heart.
Not only her, but many people who were originally familiar with Jersey's character also frowned.
Although Jersey is a bit hypocritical, he usually speaks so harshly, at least never in public.
"Jersey, if you continue like this, I will announce the temporary dismissal of your vice president, and I will consider whether to reinstate it after you have calmed down."
Wendy's voice froze.
The student president of Westminster School has very high powers, and does have the authority to temporarily remove the vice president.
"Okay, good...... Wendy! You're good! I remembered. ”
Jersey pointed his finger at her, his fingers trembling, and finally turned away, obviously angry.
"Don't be afraid, Maria, you go on."
Driving away the annoyance, Wendy smiled encouragingly at Maria.
"Yes, I'm sorry...... Yesterday, after I found out that there might be plants on the cliff, I flew up with someone else to take a look, but I didn't find anything. Maria sobbed and said, "Then, and then I faintly heard the sound of wind chimes, and thought it was a little strange, how could there be wind chimes here?" So he followed the sound and went around the middle of the cliff and found a cave, in which he saw many thousand bell flowers......"
"Can I ask a question?" Natsu interrupted her.
"Okay, please, please." Maria replied timidly.
"You are a student of the production department, and you are the person in charge of processing the ingredients, you should have studied all kinds of plants, can you tell me, under what circumstances will the thousand bell flowers make a sound similar to wind chimes?"
"I know this, it should be that when it hunts, it will emit a strong aroma and sound to attract prey."
"And then, apart from the sound of wind chimes, do you smell the fragrance of the thousand bell flowers?" Natsu then asked.
"Huh? To put it this way, it seems to ...... I didn't seem to feel a strong aroma at the time, but I only smelled a little when I got closer. Maria's eyes widened.
"Well, I see."
Xia made a slightly thoughtful expression: "Thank you." ”
"No thanks, I didn't help much." Maria waved her hand again and again.
"Natsu, did you find anything strange?"
After sending off Maria, who had not dried her tears, Wendy asked with a hopeful look on her back.
"I think I know why the search team and Raven are missing."
Xia raised his head and looked at everyone and said.
"What? No way, we haven't come to a conclusion for so long. ”
"But it's hard to say, I've also read the record that the thousand bell flowers do emit a strong aroma when hunting, but the first-year student just now said that he didn't smell it outside the cave."
"What does that prove? She flew through the air, and the aroma would volatilize in the place where the air was circulating, and the smell would naturally be very light, or maybe she had a cold at the time? ”
It was several elites of the magic department who spoke, and they looked at Xia, some with admiration in their eyes, and some with jealousy.
"You say you know why?"
Although Wendy had high expectations for Natsu, she didn't expect her to know the truth so quickly.
Xia nodded:
"In order to accomplish the mission, I would like you to send me another powerful mage, President Wendy."
Hearing her words, Wendy seemed very embarrassed, she thought about it, and said with some difficulty:
"This ...... Natsu, I'm very sorry, the current situation, the guard group and I really can't leave the library, Edith's fire magic is an important combat force against that demon, and Natya Vida ......"
"Wendy, you're mistaken, I'm not asking you to transfer me Edith and them, they're more suited to stay here and defend in the current situation, rather than go out with me to the rescue."
Xia shook his head and said, "I hope you will transfer another powerful mage to our team, and if he helps in this rescue operation, the success rate will be greatly increased." ”
"Who?"
Wendy asked, curious.
Apart from the four people she had just mentioned, only Agnes could compare to the four mages including her, and she really couldn't think of anyone else for a while.
"Daro."
Natsu said a name that surprised everyone.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and suddenly there was a "boom", and everyone laughed:
"Who did she say? Darrow? Powerful mages? Hahaha! That's the funniest thing I've heard this year. ”
"Could it be from the Arcane Mage class? The whole school park is an unpopular subject that a few people apply for.,The competition held in the school park has always been the one at the bottom of the magic department......"
"Daro's own strength is not bad, I remember barely reaching the level of a high-ranking mage, but the arcane ...... Tsk, I've always thought of arcane as real magic. ”
"That kid seems to like to mess with flowers, and a few first-year freshmen in our department have been spotted dating him outside."
"Except for being handsome, barely reaching the standard of a high-ranking mage, he doesn't seem to have anything to boast about, why would classmate Xia think of looking for someone like him......"
The corners of Wendy's mouth twitched slightly, as a third-year student, she was also familiar with Daro's deeds:
"Natsu, are you sure you want Darrow to join your squad?"
"Sure."
Xia nodded and said:
"Arcane has a stronger advantage over necromancy than ordinary magic, and although it is not as effective as divine magic, it is the best way to deal with the enemies we need to face this time."
"I have to say that you have a unique vision."
Darrow was standing next to him, and at this time, he walked gracefully in front of Xia and Wendy and made a noble salute:
"I am at your disposal, and from this day forward, I am your faithful arcane mage and guardian, my princess."
Princess?
Hearing this awkward name, Xia only felt uncomfortable all over his body.
"It seems that you don't know that since you saved everyone twice in a row in the library and in the cave, many people have been talking about you, thinking that you are the princess of the gods described in the legend of the Order." Darrow said in a serious manner.
