"Good sturdy locks."

Natsu frowned.

Although the magic array above had been completely ineffective due to her destruction of the magic link, this shackle was so strong that she couldn't open it with her current strength.

"Cut it open? But I'm not very confident in my knife skills.,What if I accidentally hurt little Lori.。 ”

"By the way, I can't open it, doesn't it mean that Di Liya can't open it? She's the best at solving things with force. ”

Now that he had an idea in his heart, Xia Chongling smiled: "You are here to protect the two people over there for the time being, this is not an order, but my request to you, is it okay?" ”

After saying that, he touched her little head, and without further delay, he turned around and rushed to the passage outward of the cave.

If she didn't get rid of this little Lori first, she really wouldn't dare to leave Darrow and the unconscious Lorraine in such a dangerous place.

There was a light blue barrier in the passage, which was the enchantment prop that Jersey had placed here before, she didn't even bother to look at it, she directly raised her leg and swept over, and the light blue barrier immediately collapsed.

……

"How's it going?"

Natsu asked, with a bandage on his arm, as he walked up to Daro.

"The beautiful doctor said that there was no danger to her life and that she was asleep at the moment...... By the way, it's not that he fainted like he did just now, but he went to sleep after the healing magic took effect, and with the power of his perverted body, I'm afraid it won't be long before he wakes up. ”

Darrow looked at the female student of the life department who was remedicating Lorraine and replied.

"That's good." Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she found a clean ground and sat on it, looking at the people who were busy not far away.

The students who were buried in the ground have been dug up one after another, and there is no sign of harm on these people's bodies, and at the same time, as Xia said before, no one in them died, and everyone woke up as if they had a long dream, not knowing what had happened.

"Xia, I have a little question, how do you know that these students are buried in the ground?"

Daro looked at those people and asked Xia Dao.

"The blue spider-like demon is called Manticor, and it is also a monster known as the 'Dream Eater', which is not very strong in its own right, but it can create strong hallucinations, and likes to hypnotize people and bury them in the ground, causing them to fall into long dreams, and then absorb their spiritual power for food. The thousand bell flower and it is a temporary symbiotic relationship, with its spiritual illusion with the fragrance of the thousand bell flower to attract the small animal is the food of the flower, the big one is the prey of Manticor, it will bury the prey, so that it is convenient to come and absorb the spiritual energy at any time. ”

Saying this, Xia suddenly fell silent.

After a while, she slowly raised her head, looked at the caves at the top of the cave, and said:

"But as far as I know, this demon is not an individual that can survive alone, and someone must have raised it in the first place, except for love to live with other demons or creatures...... Who could this person be, and where is he now? I'm afraid that's not something we can know. ”

"Humans breed demons?"

Darrow shuddered.

"It doesn't have to be done by humans, maybe it's the dark race or some other high-ranking demon, who knows."

Although Xia has read the manual, Manticor only appears once in the plot of Necronomicon Island, and she doesn't know many specific things at all.

"Dream Eater...... What a peculiar demon. ”

After Darrow said a word, he also fell silent.

The two of them just sat on the ground and watched the students busy, and after a while, Darrow seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked Xia:

"That's right,Although that kid in Jersey is a bastard,But his strength is also in the upper reaches of the school park.,How could you cut off your neck so lightly...... No, no, I don't mean to look down on you! Seeing Xia's somewhat unhappy eyes, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"I also saw it on the side just now, Jersey was touched by your blade and became convulsed as if he had been hit by magic, I always felt a little strange, is that your special move?"

At the mention of this, Xia was a little depressed:

- She doesn't know either!

"Can you show me your weapon?"

Seeing that Xia was silent, Daro's eyes swept to the long black knife on Xia's back.

Maybe it's a problem with weapons? He guessed.

"Look."

Natsu pulled the knife out of his back and handed it over.

"Wow!"

As soon as Daro's hand touched the blade, it was as if he had been electrocuted.

"What is this, thunder and lightning magic? It's just that it's very weak now. ”

He carefully wrapped his fingers in arcane energy, slowly approaching the blade, and when he touched it, a thin blue electric current appeared from the blade and struck his fingers.

"The material of your knife is very strange."

Daro looked at the blade with bright eyes and said:

"Ordinary weapons are made of magic insulation, not only does your black knife not do that kind of craftsmanship, but the blade is a very rare magic guide body, and it seems that it can also save spells temporarily...... Awesome! Much better than my staff. Such a good thing would actually be a knife. Thinking of his wand that had been twisted into a twisted flower, Darrow twitched the corners of his mouth in some distress.

The staff was a good thing that he had scraped together for two years to buy, and it was scrapped in less than a month.

But he glanced at Zero, who was standing quietly behind the two, shivered, and immediately twisted his head back.

Just kidding, he didn't dare to lose money with that monster girl.

Xia took the long knife that Daroyi was reluctant to return, and his fingers tried to touch the blade, but nothing appeared.

"Strange, why are you okay when you touch the blade, because you are its owner? This is unusual. ”

Darrow is also a mage, and he is very interested when he sees this abnormal phenomenon.

Xia didn't have time to pay attention to him, and her heart was already churning at this time:

"Electro magic? Passed through the body of the knife. ”

"That's right, many times the great enemy of a warrior is the magician, and the weapon will be magically insulated...... I'm afraid this smooth magic transmission process has exceeded 100%, and it also has an increase in mana! ”

The conversation with Natia Vida in the library came to mind, and she seemed to understand why Jersey had stiffened for a moment when he had been stabbed with the knife.

―― Anyone would be like that if they were hit by electricity, it would be like that!

"But what is the matter with what Darrow said about being able to save spells, you must study it carefully when you go back, it seems that this knife hides quite a lot of secrets."

She tucked the long black knife back into the scabbard on her back.

"Speaking of which, the man who rescued Jersey just now seems a little familiar to me." Darrow groaned as he touched his injured leg.

"You will feel familiar when you see a beautiful woman."

Natsu rolled her eyes.

"Hah, how do you know? What a confidant of mine. ”

Darrow wanted to reach out and pat her, but found that this action was a little inappropriate for Natsu, and he withdrew his hand stupidly.

"As the messenger of love in the third grade,I know all the beauties in this school park!" He patted his chest proudly and said, "As long as they reach a certain level, I can remember their names in the second and third grades, and I can recognize most of the freshmen in the first grade." ”

"But who was that wild beauty with big boobs in the cave before? It seems to be wearing a three-year-old uniform, but I've never seen her before...... Oops! ”

"When it comes to business, I always think about what those who don't have to do." Natsu kicked him, interrupting his questioning.

"Well, let's not mention the wild beauty...... Hey, I suddenly remembered! The man who rescued Jersey just now was Shan! ”

After Darrow was beaten, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of something:

"She seems to have had an affair with Jersey before, why didn't I remember it?"

Then his body shook:

"No, she seems to have been killed that night, and she was obviously fine when I saw her just now...... I understand! Darro's face was a little ugly:

"Her face and behavior are very abnormal, she no longer feels human, if she was really attacked by a vampire, she must have become a ghoul now!"

Although Darrow is a little frivolous, he is still a bit of a real talent, and he actually guessed the truth.

Xia couldn't help but have some admiration for this usually unreliable arcane mage, and she only knew the truth with a cheat herself.

"Damn vampire, you can choose to make her your dependent, but you have turned such a cute girl into a monster!" Darrow gritted his teeth.

"Dependents...... ? ”

Xia thought of the vampire-themed movies she had seen before, which included the first hug, corpse transformation, and other interpretations of the dark creature of vampires, but she couldn't remember many of them.

"It's good that Jersey is dead, otherwise he would have become a ghoul and would have been a bit of trouble; After all, with his current strength, I'm afraid he has broken through the upper swordsman, and there are not many such people in the entire school park. ”

Darrow said with some rejoicing.

"No, Jersey is not dead."

Xia looked at the cave where Shan had fled, and said with certainty.

If I'm dead, I should have received a hint to increase my experience, and although Jersey isn't as scary as S-class demons, it's at least a mini-boss.

She said this in her heart, and she couldn't let Darrow hear it.

Maybe it was because she didn't actually kill him, so she didn't give birth to that kind of abnormal feeling after killing? It might make sense to think so, after all, she's not a ruthless murderer.

"You said that Jersey is very strong now, so what kind of stage does it belong to?" She turned to Darrow and asked.

Daro, though a little curious as to why she was so sure that Jersey was still alive, quickly replied:

"I think I must have surpassed the upper swordsman and reached the first level of the great swordsman; But the kind of secret sword he uses is really powerful, and the real strength is hard to estimate, maybe Lorraine will know? When he's almost recovered, you can ask him. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xia with frowns and said:

"When Lorraine was injured, I saw that you were more nervous than me, especially the protective attitude when facing a strong enemy later, tsk, I was a little jealous when I saw it."

Xia seems to be smiling:

"Is there one? Either way, at least he doesn't hide with his head on his head when he sees an 'explosion' like some people do, and from that point of view, I think he's a pretty good person, a friend worth making. ”

"Well, that's just a habitual move that I have developed in the army, and I definitely don't want to leave you alone."

No matter how thick Daro's skin is, it is also a little red:

"But you're saying he's just a friend worth making? Isn't there a little other ......" He originally wanted to tease, but after seeing Xia Qing's eyes, he swallowed the words back.

"Actually, it's not just him, it's you."

Unexpectedly, Xia took the initiative to reach out his hand, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said in a gentle voice:

"I was just joking just now, I think you are also a trustworthy friend, but a lot of times it's just a little unreliable."

"Thanks for the compliment...... No, is this a compliment? ”

Touched by that soft little hand, Daro's body became a little weak in an instant, and he hugged the injured leg with his only intact arm, and forced himself to smile calmly.

"If it weren't for ...... Maybe the three of us will become very good friends. Xia didn't seem to say anything completely, and then saw her pat her skirt and stand up from the ground:

"Maybe it's more than just friends...... We will still be good brothers with the same righteousness. ”

After saying this, Xia walked towards Zero, who had been standing behind, and at this time Zero had already re-covered the black mage robe, and some medicine was applied to his feet full of wounds, and he also put on the shoes that Xia had found from others.

Although the shoes are a bit big and a little difficult to wear, it's much better than having her barefoot.

"Did you hear that, she said we would be her good brothers...... Old man. ”

Darrow said in a low voice, not knowing who he was talking to.

There was an indescribable meaning in his tone, as if he was melancholy, mixed with a touch of helplessness.

At this time, Lorraine, who was beside him, slowly opened his eyes.

"yes."

He said hoarsely.

"That's good, too."

Looking at Natsu, who was wiping Zero's face with a clean towel, Lorraine had a bitter smile on her face and closed her eyes.
