Chapter 210: Unrelated
"Strange, where did Grandma Claire go, ?en ??? οΌ?ο½?ο½?ο½?? e?n?'org" Lois pushed open the door and walked into the bakery, glancing at the place behind the counter, which had belonged to the old man but was now occupied by the fox masked man.
The latter banged his feet on the counter and ate the potato chips he had just bought from the next street, looking leisurely and contented.
"Claire went on holiday and won't be back for a while. β
Lois looked a little puzzled when she heard this, "Vacation, but she only made an appointment with me last week, and she will teach me how to make lemon cake today." β
The fox masked man shrugged, "Then you may have to change the day, she is in a hurry, as if she is going to meet an old friend or something, and she won't be back for the next half a month." β
"Really?" the female archer was suspicious, placing the bag of fresh lemons on the table, and then her eyes shifted to the chair under someone's buttocks, and her face changed, "It's over, you're in big trouble, how did you replace Grandma Claire's favorite chair?" β
The fox masked man was stunned, "yes, that guy hasn't changed his fetish for a lot of years, and if I said that she took the chair with her when she went to see an old friend, would you believe it?"
"............" Lois looked at his teacher silently with the eyes of a caring fool.
The Fox Masked Man scratched his head and muttered, "You said she liked that chair very much, so wouldn't it be normal to take it wherever she looked?" β
The female archer frowned, " Where the hell is Grandma Claire, she values this bakery very much, there is no reason to leave so many days suddenly, and she didn't even lock the door when she left, she has never been such a careless person, and besides, haven't you been looking forward to this freshman competition, why didn't you go over there, and you haven't explained to me why you suddenly put that set of holy weapons in it two days before the start of the competition, do you know how rare the combined holy weapons are, and how much trouble it will cause if the church finds out that there is still a combined holy weapon wandering outside. β
"Well, she's a guest at someone's house now. The fox masked man flickered, and in the face of the female apprentice's cannon-like questions, he was obviously a little overwhelmed, and said, "The holy weapon, I turned it out by accident, and it feels bad to keep it in the corner and fall into the dust, so it's better to take it out and have fun together." β
Lois won't believe this kind of clumsy lie at all, she has been with this guy for a long time, she has understood that there are not so many accidents and coincidences in this world, this guy is indeed a very inexplicable person, and sometimes he will make some very childish actions, but often it will be proved afterwards that his seemingly inexplicable actions are implied and profound, he seems to have been born with this ability, and he will always be hidden behind the scenes and silently look down on everything.
But then the fox masked man probably didn't think the lie could come back, and finally admitted, "Okay, this time I was a little bit of a joke, Claire was actually caught under my nose, but don't worry, I'm actively researching how to get her out now......"
The female archer's eyes widened, "Grandma Claire was captured?! You're still in the mood to shake your legs and eat potato chips here!"
"Eh, she's not in any danger for the time being anyway, the other party wants to threaten me through her, and he'll find a way to take care of Claire before the goal is achieved...... Claire had been thinking about the lizardmen in the Dagmar Desert, and maybe he could take this opportunity to reminisce about those passionate years. "The Fox Mask Man is still talking nonsense.
"Desert?wait, is Grandma Claire also in the Freshman Arena?!" Lois grasped the key point in someone's statement, "Oh my God, you can't be so bad, you already knew in advance that Grandma Claire would be hijacked, so I put those holy weapons in the dungeon." β
"Nonsense, how could I deliberately risk Claire's life, those holy weapons were obviously used against that monster......" The fox masked man quibbled, and immediately realized that he seemed to have slipped out of his mouth, so he had to smuggle up, " Hawkers, but I do know what will happen in the freshman arena, so I put some small things in advance, but I promise that what happened to Claire was completely accidental, it was an emergency, and I have been actively organizing rescues day and night after the accident, and I finally made a breakthrough just now, and now I almost know who did it. He said solemnly as he shifted the bag of chips on the counter underneath.
"So tell me honestly what's going on in the freshman arena?"
"Ha, the people of the Inquisition secretly sent in a monster from others, they thought they were doing a lot of concealment, hiding everyone including me in the dark, but in fact, it proved once again that the brain is really a very important thing, they have already made a moth by the lake before, and even the secret stronghold was brought to me by someone, this time they even used the same move, there is no creativity at all, if I can still be fooled, I can directly find a plate of noodles and die. The fox masked man pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
Lois gasped, "Could it be that the Inquisition has another murderer hiding in the city of Gudris?"
"No, it's not a murderer, this time it's much more interesting than a murderer, it doesn't seem to have a name, it's a brand new monster created by the madmen of the Inquisition at a great cost, a collection of the advantages of several monsters, they seem to call it the fourth generation of the species, and it is the most important result of a monster experiment program that began more than two hundred years ago. The fox masked man said with great interest, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of new thing, and judging from its performance in the past few days, it really lives up to expectations, tsk, this guy's ability to learn and evolve is simply challenging the laws of nature." β
"So you're letting such a horrible monster be with a bunch of first-year freshmen?" said the female archer with disbelief on her face, "but you could have prevented this from happening." β
"Well, or you can put it another way, isn't it more positive to think that someone smuggled that monster into the freshman arena and I left them alive inside?" the fox masked man shrugged, "All in all, the priority now is to find a way to get Claire out." β
"But you could have stopped it. Lois repeated the phrase again.
The fox masked man finally got a little impatient," There are so many things I can stop that I can, if I stop everything, I won't even have time to eat potato chips in the future, I don't know what you're all thinking, whether it's you, the Inquisition, or that idiot codenamed Arclight, you all seem to think that I should care about the life or death of Siamers' gang of freshmen, yes, I've always acted according to my rules, basically I won't do anything that harms these students in the school, but I'm not their babysitter, as long as they don't cause me trouble, their life or death has nothing to do with meγ β
