Chapter 227: Is it too late to pour chicken soup for the soul now?
"Other enemies, what do you mean?"
"It's no accident that this monster is in the arena, Xavier, he's the one behind all this, and you should be more worried about him than that monster. The old man said slowly.
"Wait, do you mean that the monster was put in by Mr. Xavier?" Everyone gasped when they heard this, a monster that can split parasites and evolve is terrifying enough, if you add a seventh-order magister, wouldn't it mean that these people in the freshman competition arena have no hope of surviving at all.
"But didn't Mr. Xavier fight that monster a while ago? I heard from the camp that both of them were badly wounded. Luoluo was skeptical.
"Two times to be exact, just a few days ago when Heclito rescued me, the two of them fought again, that monster has improved a lot, but it is still not Xavier's opponent, the first time he fought he was originally played by outsiders, in fact I have been with him all these days, his injuries are much lighter than you think. Claire shook her head and said, "There is not much time left for you, and during the time I spent with him, I also found that he may still have a little conscience in his heart, after all, he has been teaching in Siamus for so long, and he knows many of you, so he doesn't want to do it to you himself unless he has to, Xavier's original plan was to use that monster to hunt you, and he himself used this time." The wounded 'stood by and watched, but now that everything is different, I should be very angry that I escaped from there, so I'm afraid his next actions will be more aggressive. ”
"But as you said before, we don't even have chips, and it's useless for him to kill us all. Gage was still a bit of a fluke.
"Yes, but there's no way to prove that this won't work if I don't kill you all, and Xavier knows that I'm different from that guy and I can't watch so many people die because of me, so he's forcing me to show up. Claire said calmly.
"Is this good news or bad news for us?" Simon said with a wry smile.
"I feel like I'm a dead man now. Gage also despaired.
Even if most of the team members are determined-minded, they also felt a little helpless after learning the bad news of Xavier's betrayal, and the only one who remained calm was Rob, in fact, the future Super Magister had already been suspicious of the only seventh-order Magus in Siamus a few months ago.
The last killer who appeared on the night of the lake game had a brief fight with him, and as a result, he was beaten to a near-death state, and Rob didn't have time to mend the knife at that time, but the quasi-magister had already judged that it was almost impossible to escape from the bottom of the lake without the help of outsiders with the monster's injury, so when he heard that Foreman and the others had not found any trace of the monster from the lake the next day, he was actually a little surprised.
Rob didn't have the ubiquitous intelligence network of the Fox Masked Man in Gudris, but after discovering that the murderer was from the Inquisition, he was still keenly aware that there was a shadow buried in the temple in Siamers, so Rob took a moment to reconstruct the situation that night, from the time he left with the teleportation array at the bottom of the lake to the time before Principal Foreman and the other teachers arrived, only one person had ever been near the lake, and he was also the only one who had the ability and time to take away the seriously injured murderer, but Xavier had been in Siamus for many years after all, and he was well hiddenRob was not completely sure that he must be a member of the temple until this freshman competition, when Xavier cut off the connection between the competition field and the outside world, he thought that he had controlled the situation, and finally couldn't help but show his sharp teeth and minions, so the hunter not far away also lazily raised his head from the snow, ready to start this long-awaited hunt.
"Even if what you're saying is true, how can we fight against a seventh-order magus with just us?" Luo Luo frowned.
"No, it's not you, it's you, and the key to defeating Xavier lies in you. Claire looked into the girl's eyes, "From now on, the lives of Hecrito, and the rest of the freshman arena, will be up to you." ”
"Uh...... Wouldn't it be a little too late to pour chicken soup for the soul at this time?" Simon couldn't help but interject.
Luo Luo was also stunned, "I, I really want to protect everyone, but with my strength, it is impossible to defeat Mr. Xavier no matter what." ”
"Don't jump to conclusions, kid, there's a huge amount of energy behind you that you didn't even expect. The old man said meaningfully, and then said to the others, "Excuse me, can you give us both a little space to be alone?"
Simon shrugged his shoulders and said to Lolo, "We'll be waiting for you downstairs." With that, he pushed the door open and walked out of the hut, and then everyone else, including the little golem, came downstairs one after another.
Rob was the last to leave, and as he walked down the stairs, he saw Simon standing in front of the split stone door, his expression a little melancholy as the setting sun shone on the boy's side face.
The heir of the Grady family sighed when he saw the quasi-magister walking towards him, and raised the wine bottle in his hand, "This is the little golem named Heck over there who found it, probably the only bottle of red wine left in the entire freshman arena, it was just given to me as an apology for almost killing me with the reflex magic array before, so I guess we have reconciled, do you want a drink?"
His Excellency shook his head.
Simon shrugged, "That's a pity, I've heard that on a small island in the west, people there have a tradition of having a drink before they die, oh yes, you're from the north, have you ever been to Parrot Point, I heard that it has the most fertile land and the most prosperous harbor in the entire Lionheart Empire, and there is a huge bronze statue more than twenty meters high on the coastline, which is the ancestor of my family." ”
Rob raised his eyebrows, "I also hope that your last words will be a little new, by the way, the bronze statue of your ancestor is long gone, and now the bronze statue of Lehart II is erected on the beach, and the bronze statue is more than thirty meters high." ”
"Hell, buddy, do you have to be so honest, anyway, it won't be long before everyone hangs up, can't you comfort me a little with a white lie?" Simon said as he unscrewed the cork and held up his bottle.
"Respect myself, I'm about to become the most heir to the Gladdy family's history, no, the most seems to be one of my uncles, he was stuck by a fish bone when he ate fish, poor man, so I can only be in second place when I am harvested like a trash fish, hell, when I was a child, I still fantasized that I could make a career when I grew up, but I didn't expect to die here in obscurity, if I have a choice, I hope that Xavier will be the last to do it, so that at least I can proudly tell him my identity before I die." 。 ”
"For what, so that he can use your corpse to receive a reward from the Lionheart Empire?"
"Oh my God, can we still have a good conversation?" Simon was speechless, leaning limply against the wall like a deflated ball, "but you have a point, so I'd better die silently like a weed." ”
Rob said lightly, "Is there only this level of the heir of the Grady family's generation, if I knew that this was the case, I might as well let you be killed by that monster at the bottom of the lake that night." ”
