Chapter 211: Looking for someone
Halfway through the competition, the contestants who completed the competition and obtained results couldn't wait to make an appointment with their friends and go to the academy town to relax between the games.
Even the freshman team of the Red Rose Academy's warrior department, which only won the quarterfinals, gathered a group of people and came to a cheap restaurant in town suitable for students to celebrate this hard-won victory.
And Ellie, who completed the earth-shattering turnaround by herself, naturally became the protagonist of the party.
If it were Ellie before, there would probably be some stage fright, but now Ellie is a person who has even attended a duke-level dinner, and it is more than enough to deal with such a rudimentary social occasion.
Heidi, who was born in the family of adventurers next to her, was still a little unfamiliar with such a party, and after seeing Ellie's handy performance, her surprise at Ellie deepened.
Of course, Su Wen didn't participate in the affairs of this group of students, but as usual, he came to the canteen closest to his dormitory and asked for a high-calorie package that was specially provided during the sports meeting.
However, halfway through eating, Shirley suddenly appeared in this cafeteria, and after looking around, she locked on to Su Wen, and then hurriedly ran over, her face looking a little anxious.
"What's wrong?" asked Su Wen as she delivered food to her mouth as she ran out of breath.
"Brother Su Wen...... You...... Did you see Sister Barot?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"I haven't seen her for a day today, and ...... She didn't even participate in today's competition......" Shirley's expression showed a hint of concern: "I asked her roommates, they didn't see Sister Barot when they got up this morning......"
"What about the others?" Su Wen also put down the utensils and asked seriously.
"I've asked all the questions, and finally found you here......" Although Shirley was confused, it seemed that because Su Wen already knew the news, her mood calmed down a little.
"Where do you think Barot might have gone?"
"I don't know, wow!" Shirley blurted out bluntly, "That's why I'm here for you...... Isn't she, she's going to settle accounts with the Doruffin Brotherhood?...... My God......"
With Balot's intelligence and character, he shouldn't have done such a reckless thing, right? However, thinking of some of the details that Shirley told Su Wen before, Balot, maybe it's really possible, go to the Doruffin Brotherhood to ask for an explanation......
A student, even a top student with outstanding ability, goes to an organization to discuss the law without telling anyone, no matter how you look at it, it is reckless. What's more, this organization is by no means good!
Is this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
The more Su Wen thought about it, the more worried he felt, although he felt that Shirley should have looked for him earlier, but the matter had come to this point, and it was not easy to blame Shirley, and Balotte still had a registration thing given to her by Su Wen, so it would not be dangerous to ...... But no matter what, find Balot.
The danger is not just the Doruffin Brotherhood.
After the news of Eden's death spread, there was a case of monsters attacking humans at the Imperial Academy, and if it was a coincidence, it would be too much of a coincidence, right?
Su Wen preferred to believe that without Eden's deterrence, an organization like the Ancient Demon Sect would definitely not be able to suppress its ambitions and begin to move.
Even the Imperial Academy on the edge of the royal city is not safe!
Su Wen didn't care about wasting food, so he picked up half of the food that was left, sent it to the recycling office, and then looked at Shirley seriously and told her not to run around again. Then, Balot, it's up to him to find it!
Speaking of finding people, Su Wen also has a certain talent, because of the existence of the map, Su Wen can intuitively detect the number of people around him and the identity of friend and foe. But there are two disadvantages, one is that you can't check people's identities, and the other is that as long as you don't show hostility for the time being, it's still a friendly white spot.
This is the case with the assassination of Marlena by the earliest Black Rope Assassins, and later by Lucia, the Corpse Mother.
But when it comes to finding people, there is naturally a person who is better than Su Wen.
Su Wen ran towards the gate of the academy at an extremely fast speed.
During the afternoon soccer game, he vaguely heard the meeting place of the students, and Ellie, of course, was there.
Generally, human beings recognize signals, and there are only touch, smell, hearing, vision, etc., and then there is a special sense, that is, the induction of fighting spirit and magic, and if you continue to go up, there are masters like Pamela and Edgar, who can see through the color of people's souls, or have special talents with extraordinary talents, such as Yumi, who can judge monsters or other things.
And non-human biometric signals, there are too many kinds. In addition to being many times more powerful than humans in a certain field, there are also signals that humans simply cannot understand and can be recognized by them.
As the cave worm of the top hunter among the monsters, it is naturally the same.
As soon as something that can be used as their energy is within their reach, they will immediately lock on to the prey based on certain signals from the prey, and then look for an opportunity to hunt it down with lightning speed.
With human knowledge of cave worms, almost all signals can be recognized by cave worms!
Ellie, naturally, has the same ability.
Tonight's Academy Town has returned to its usual liveliness, and Su Wen soon came to the restaurant where they were partying. When you are on the road, you can hear the lively conversation and hearty laughter inside.
That's right, this is it.
Su Wen pushed the door in, waved his hand to the waiter who greeted him, indicating that he was here to find someone, and then walked to the most lively table in the hall.
Even if there is a game tomorrow, these young people carry a big barrel of wine. With their physical fitness, this bit of alcohol is within the safe range.
But after Su Wen glanced around, he didn't find Ellie's shadow at all, these students, the same number as those students during the competition, but Ellie was missing.
Su Wen frowned. He was reluctant to disturb the students' gatherings, because it was quite abrupt for a teacher, even a very popular one, to suddenly intervene in the atmosphere of the students.
So Su Wen stood by the pillar and transmitted the message to Heidi from afar.
Heidi heard someone calling her, looked around, found Su Wen, and then, quietly got up and walked towards Su Wen.
"Did you see Ellie?"
"Eh, didn't she say that she couldn't drink enough to go back first?" Heidi was also surprised: "I said let me send her, but she refused......"
"Go back?" Su Wen asked, "When?"
"It's going to be half an hour. Heidi thought for a moment and said, "...... Is something wrong?"
Usually Heidi probably wouldn't ask this question so abruptly, but at this time, with the strength of wine, she also asked it very bluntly. After all, it was Ellie, her best friend.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that a teacher said that her grades had dropped and asked me to remind her. Su Wen smiled.
He didn't want the students to be involved in it.
After saying goodbye to Heidi, Su Wen began to think about how to find Ellie.
In this world, there are no mobile phones. Long-distance communication was largely done by letters, or expensive magical communication equipment, which cost almost as much as broadcasting equipment, and which was hardly used for civilian use.
Ellie...... Ellie......
Another figure flashed in Su Wen's mind.
Yumi.
With Graham's inheritance, even Josephine and the others can identify it, and it is not easy to find an Ellie.
With Yumi's character, I'm probably reading in the dormitory at this time, right?
Su Wen ran back to the school staff dormitory.
Yumi's room, he knew, but when he got closer to the room, he realized that the room was completely empty.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago......" Su Wen patted his face with a little headache.
He forgot the fact that Yumi, who had received the Grahan inheritance, would transform into a demon hunter covered in purple light every night when night fell, walking under the curtain of night, guarding the love and peace of the Imperial Academy and the academy town.
So how do you find Yumi......
This kind of cycle like a task chain made Su Wen very painful, and when he played games in his own world before, he hated this kind of running mission. What's more, the loop running mission he has experienced now still has no rewards, and there is a limited-time mission that fails but has consequences in his eyes.
Demon hunters, naturally, they have to get some monsters out...... I hope I don't get noticed by Edgar's men......
After Su Wen walked out of the dormitory door, he dodged and jumped towards the clock tower of the academy. This is the highest point of the Imperial Academy, and the clock hanging on the top is also a centuries-old magical artifact. Even now, the time is still being chimeled accurately.
"Summon monsters. ”
Su Wen used a basic spell.
A small circle of magic lit up, and after a twist, a pool of transparent and soft liquid substance appeared—the national monster that appears in most RPGs, the slime.
The upper limit of a slime is quite high, and Su Wen remembers that there is a slime that can almost be used in seconds, in addition to a series of abilities that are almost comparable to him, and can even transform into a beautiful girl - this is something that even Su Wen can't do!
It seems that the low-level monsters all have the same high ceiling, and in the same case as this slime, there is also a certain skeleton soldier and a certain spider spirit.
However, in this world, Su Wen did not find any trace of the slime, and the monsters in this world were all the kind of biological monsters that were not good-looking.
Because of the unified constraints of the laws of the world, the aura of this slime is also a monster aura that can be recognized by people like other monsters.
The slime who came to this world had a panicked "face" and curled up in a ball with some trembling.
It appears to be a slime at the lower end of the food chain, and it looks almost threatened. However, the monster aura on its body is genuine.
Su Wen naturally felt this as well.
Su Wen swept through a whirlwind, causing the slime's aura to spread out.
Sure enough, after only about five minutes, a faint purple light jumped across the academy building, and finally, a purple chain pierced through the base of the clock tower and hooked to the top of the clock tower.
Then, Yumi appeared in front of Su Wen.
"Hello Yumi. ”
Su Wen greeted Yumi with a smile, and at Su Wen's feet, the slime was still trembling.
This greeting almost scared Yumi out of the tower.
However, time was pressing, and Su Wen quickly explained the ins and outs to Yumi.
Yumi didn't delay, and unfolded his purple vision, taking the entire academy and academy town into view. Because he had had a lot of contact, Yumi's familiarity with Ellie's breath was also quite high, so after a little search, he pointed out a direction to Su Wen.
"There, the warehouse behind that bar......"
Su Wen also looked over there, and when he saw the warehouse, he showed a surprised expression.
Because, that warehouse is one of the strongholds of the Doroufen Brotherhood in the information Josephine gave to Su Wen!
Ellie, how did you end up in the Doruffin Brotherhood's stronghold?
With this question in mind, Su Wen prepared to go to the warehouse.
"Wait, hey. ”
However, Yumi grabbed Su Wen's clothes and hurriedly asked, "What to do with this thing! You brought it out to lure me over, right?"
Su Wen turned his head and glanced at it.
"You can deal with it. ”
After throwing a sentence, he jumped off the clock tower, and then, in mid-air, activated his light work and flew towards the town.
A few unscientific and unmagical changes in the middle of the way made Yumi's eyes almost fall off.
Yumi sighed, condensed her thin purple blade, and turned to look at the slime who was still shivering. But at this glance, Yumi was a little unable to do it.
Although it has the aura of a monster on its body, this slime is completely different from the monster that Yumi knows, first of all, from its body, there is no offensive hostility, and even, there is a trace of fear from its body.
And in appearance, this small thing that is soft and soft, and can almost be described as "cute", even more completely explodes those ugly monsters.
In addition, Su Wen's several words and deeds taught Yumi a transcendent understanding of the concept of monsters.
So, she couldn't do it.
Yumi hesitated for a moment, then crouched down and observed the "monster" of unknown breed.
Perhaps sensing the thin purple blade in Yumi's hand that restrained the monster, the slime shivered like never before, and then squirmed to try to get away from Yumi as best he could.
"Afraid of this?"
As if he had made a mistake, Yumi put away the purple blade with some guilt, and then reached out and stroked the slime's body.
Cool, soft.
Perhaps sensing the temperature in Yumi's hand, the slime, the frequency of trembling, also slowed down, and then spread out in place, flattened into a ball.
After making sure that nothing was in danger, Yumi simply stretched out his hands and picked up the slime.
It's not very heavy either.
The slime who was picked up also seemed to feel that Yumi was not hostile, so he simply let Yumi hold it, trembled, and stopped.
"Hmm...... Monsters...... What kind of breed are you?" Yumi looked at the lump and began to talk to herself.
"Or else...... I'll just call you soft, right?"
