31. Students have questions
Suddenly Fruvis felt his heart racing, and a terrible thought took root in his mind, causing him to forget to breathe.
If "those guys" were talking about the Demon Pig! The Tiger Man's troops went as planned, and then the things they wanted were destroyed by the Demon Pig at every turn, and there would be only those left to go! What was there in the Demon Pig's lair? It still needed to be kept secret! Froy thought of the plan, the date on the book, the mark from 1 to 22, the mark on Cave 3 and Cave 4. According to the two tiger men, hole 3 and hole 4 must be the location! Naturally, the destroyed ones will not appear in this plan again!
Frois swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat with difficulty, his eyes glaring like brass bells in flames. He couldn't believe his assumptions, he couldn't trust his judgment. It's really... It's just too cruel, it's ridiculous. But when he remembered something Moon had said before, he was even more sure of his judgment.
Several deep breaths could not calm himself, and Floris could not calm down!He ran to the side and took the book that had been laid out casually on the table into his arms. Why is this thing so casually here, a trap? a trap that deliberately leads itself? No, it can't be, no one predicted that they would be here. Judging from the conversation between the two tiger people just now, as well as the proficiency in finding things, there is no surprise that this book is placed here.
This proves that this is the norm, they are used to it! Most of them are confident in the defense of the fortress, and feel that they don't need to take too many measures to guard against outsiders, and there are no outsiders in this fortress. He is even more accustomed to the things in this plan, and he doesn't feel that there is a problem at all, at least within the Tiger Clan!
Froy put the book away, unlocked it, and opened the door through a crack, looking from the inside out. After making sure that everything was safe, he dodged out and closed the door again.
As he had come, Frois walked in fright, his mind full of chaotic thoughts, and he could not calm down at all.
"Yo, Miss, are you coming out so soon?" The Tiger Clan guards guarding the gate of the fortress saw Frois come out, and they were not at all as serious as they had just checked their documents.
"Well, when it's done, I'm ready to leave. β
"Hey, Miss, your voice is so good, there is a trembling, crispy and numb feeling. The tiger man smiled meaningfully, "Do you want to be happy with me?"
"Not today, they have to go back to the high priest to report their lives. Fruvix's tone changed, indescribably soft, inexhaustible flattery.
"High Priest, hehe, do I have the privilege of learning the name of the young lady? "The Tiger Man is simply persevering.
"My name is Heidi, Softpaw. Heidi. Frois brushed away the tigerman's hand that was reaching for his buttocks, and his eyes were silky, "I'll come to you this time tomorrow." β
"Oh, oh, yes, then I'll be waiting for Miss Heidi here. The tiger man was so crisp that Frois saw that his bones were crispy, and he hurriedly agreed.
"Hmm. Froy chuckled and turned away. Ignoring the stealth tiles that were anxiously waiting in the grass, he continued to walk into the distance.
After all, the stealth tile was also trained, and at this time he remained stealthy and followed behind Frois. Frois turned his head slightly, saw the tiger man's gaze leave him, and turned to talk to the guard next to him. Fruvis no longer hesitated, and directly inserted the Wind Totem, and with the speed bonus of the totem, he dragged the stealth tile and ran.
"Hehe, High Priest Fawkes is a blessing. β
"Huh, what do you say?"
"This newly acquired chick is really, full of charm and mouth-watering. β
"High Priest of Fawkes?"
"Ah, she just had the pass for High Priest Fawkes. β
"Hmm, haven't you heard that High Priest Fox has taken in a new candidate for the Holy Maiden?"
"Huh?"
"!" several Tiger Clan guards reacted at the same time, and for a while, the drums in the air above the fortress rang loudly.
Darnassus.
Moon also changed his clothes and took Luo Xia out of the academy and wandered around the city. Unlike the calm of the Stormlord, the city of Darnassus is bustling with activity. There are more or less people from all countries and races who trade here, and the orcs sell primitive products with racial characteristics, animal skins, monster crystal nuclei and the like, and most of the purchases are magic items made by dark elves or blood clans, such as low-level magic scrolls and magic props. Although it is in an unclear state with Naga, since the two sides have not officially declared war, Naga's caravan is also protected in the territory of the Black Yao Empire, and Naga especially likes some shiny things, as well as metal products, but the things sold by Naga's caravan are not selling well.
"Luo Xia. β
"Young Master?"
"Why do those Nagas have feet????" Moon stared into the distance, a few Nagas who were different from Emma, his eyes widened.
"This, beyond my knowledge... Maybe the varieties are different?"
"Poof. Moon was amused by Luo Xia's words, "Variety, what breed am I?"
"Young master, young master is a stupid elf. Luo Xia smiled, laughing so blatantly.
"You're done, I'm going to clean you up tonight. β
"Come on. Luo Xia deliberately lowered her head and raised her eyes, slanting at Moon.
"Hmph! The elves don't care about the little devils, I'll let you go. Moon rubbed his waist as he walked over to the Naga caravan.
"Waterlogging, do you bury the swelling in the Zhege Cave?"
"Dear guests, we speak the lingua franca. β
"......" Moon turned his head and stared at Luo Xia viciously, damn, didn't you say that the breed is different, and it hurts me to use the broken Naga language.
"Hello, I want to ask, what does this bottle do? Moon picked up a transparent bottle in front of him, and there was a reef in it, and the thin waves hit the reef over and over again.
"Dear guests, this is an ornament. Pose a good look. β
"......" Moon felt that the business of the Naga caravan was not good, and it had something to do with the way they spoke, a total of two sentences, both of which made Moon unwanted. Can't you say that this thing is in the right place to regulate your mood?
"Is there anything useful then, preferably preferable!" Moon said in a bad tone.
"Yes. Naga, with her legs erect behind the board, bent down to pick up something about the same as the bottle in Moon's hand. But instead of a reef and waves, it's a strange little fish?
β...... What can this thing do?"
"Honorable guests, this is a small enchantment that can seal certain creatures in it, and when it comes time to take them out, that's all it takes. Naga smashed the bottle and took the small fish, which was several times larger, in his arms.
"Damn! it's so big!" Moon was really shocked, obviously the fish in the bottle was so small, he didn't expect it to be such a big one!
"But what's the use of this?" Moon looked at Naga with some confusion.
"Honorable guest, this fish can be eaten. Usually when you go out, it is inconvenient to hold such a large fish, you can put it in a bottle, and when you are hungry, like this. I don't know if Naga was really hungry, so I ate the live fish in front of Moon, and burped it alive.
"......" Moon kind of knows, and it makes sense that this Naga business is not good. The things they sell are all considered from the perspective of their own people, and they don't care whether the other party needs it or not.
"Anyway, I don't like bottles, can I put them in something else?" Moon asked, thinking for a moment.
"Dear guests, yes, as long as it's a container, we have a way to turn it into an active enchantment. β
"Huh...?" Moon paused suddenly, and then asked, "Where's the salted fish?"
"Salted fish, too, as long as it's sealed. β
After that, Moon bought a few bottles, naturally, it was that kind of ornament, and if there was a live fish, forget it, whether the dark elves awakened or not, they were a little inedible.
"Young Master?" Looking at Moon who was walking away and looking at the bottle in his hand in a daze, Luo Xia tugged at his sleeve.
"Oh. I'm thinking about bedtime. β
"Huh, now?" Luo Xia was a little surprised.
"Phew, I'm thinking about things, not a bedman. Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue!"
"Oh~~~~" Luo Xia pretended to be stunned and nodded.
"Do you remember the Deep Blue Forest, that fathead fish?" Moon decided to change the subject.
"I remember. β
"When it first started attacking us with fishmen, did it drop the salted fish in its hand on the ground?"
"Well, then there was a three-headed snake that they killed. Luo Xia thought about it and continued.
"Yes, I was just wondering, could that salted fish be some kind of active enchantment?"
Luo Xia nodded, "That's why the young master asked the other party about salted fish?"
"Well, yes. Moon looked up at the sky above, it turned out to be Naga's ghost, fuck, I originally thought that Naga would not be encountered in the deep blue forest, after all, the terrain was not suitable for them, but I didn't expect that there were so many ways to meet. But why would Naga design to attack him? It seems that he has nothing to do with Naga except for the little stammering Emma he picked up. Why don't you just send Emma back? No, you have to ask Emma when you go back.
Moon, who was a little tired, took Luo Xia to find a restaurant that offered a variety of casual meals to rest. He was eating a roll made of ice magic with unknown ingredients, and there was a commotion outside the restaurant. Moon smiled bitterly and shook his head, no coincidence makes a book?
"Murio, why are you avoiding me!?" A crisp female voice came, Moon was eating ice, while sticking out his head to look at the excitement, looking at the costume, the girl should also be a student of the Imperial Academy, it should be a magic archer, after all, she has a bow behind her back, not a staff.
"Naria, Iβ" The male dark elf known as Murio looked a little flustered, and seemed to be a mage.
"What are you! You avoid me during class! You run so fast after class! Are you afraid that I will eat you! Can't you see that I like you!"
"Naria, I..."
"You don't have to say more! you just say, do you still love me!" Naria was annoyed by the male elf's spitting appearance, and she didn't want to hear him say more.
"It's not that no one wants me, you tell me bluntly, if you don't love me, I won't pester you anymore. Although she said this, Naria's expression and heaving chest betrayed her, and she was nervous.
"I'm sorry," Mulio lowered his head and said no more. Moon saw his clenched fists, bleeding lips...
"Hmph!" Naria fought back the tears that were about to flow from her eyes, turned and left, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only Murio who watched her leave in the same place.
"Brother, what's going on, there's anyone else you like?" Moon and Murio sat facing each other at opposite ends of a table, each with a glass of fruit brew in front of them. That's right, Moon asked Luo Xia to invite him over, as for whether he wanted to come or not, Moon didn't care, and Luo Xia didn't care. And that's where he sits.
"Hey~~~~" Murio sighed as he took a full cup of fruit brew in one gulp.
"Don't sigh, what's on your mind, tell your brother, don't you say everything, what you need at this time is to talk!" Moon picked up the large bucket beside him and filled it for Murio.
"Hey~~~" Murio took another bite and drained the whole cup.
"What the... Ahem, brother, aren't you... That doesn't work?" Moon was annoyed by the other party's appearance of not being able to fart, and wanted to scold him, but turned to bad intentions, and his eyes seemed to say that I understand, and looked at Murio's crotch blocked by the table.
"What!?" I don't know if it was stimulated by alcohol, Murio slapped the table hard, which really scared Moon, Luo Xia on the side glanced at Mulio, rolled her eyes, and said that the old lady can kick you to death with one kick, and slapped the table.
"You know what! you don't know anything!" Murio yelled at Moon, spitting saliva on the table, this fruit... What do you say, you can't drink so quickly, especially such a big glass.
"Well, indeed, brother, if you have any difficulties, say, say it and I will definitely help you find a way. Moon said in his heart that it was okay to think of a way, but if it was not feasible, there was no way.
Murio intermittently said that he was a little green and quite helpless in love. Moon listened to it for a long time, and he probably had an outline in his heart.
Murio and Naria met in the Imperial Academy, Mulio was born in the border aristocracy, has an average family background, a somewhat dull personality, is serious in his work, and his popularity is also good. Naria, a wealthy family of Darnassus, whose father was a marquis, was in charge of the municipal administration of half of Darnassus.
Then there is the more clichΓ© bridge, the love does not know what to do, and it goes deep. Naria, this girl, family education is more rigorous, and the concepts that are usually instilled are also the right ones, which is normal, but what about young people, there is occasionally a kind of mentality, that is, the more you ask me to do something, the more I don't do anything.
Naria finally chose the path of the magic archer, the children of the Heiyao Zheng nobles, basically all of them are magicians as the main path, because the family has many resources and wide connections, and it is easy to put the children on the right track. And the magic archer also happens to need a certain physical fitness base, which is one of the reasons why the children of the great nobles filter out this profession.
Although Murio was born in a small aristocratic family, he was talented and diligent, but he was able to train as a magician. The two met in this context, although the dark elves are still relatively precocious, but both of them are stepping out of their comfort zone for the first time, under the influence of curiosity, anticipation and other emotions, the contact gradually deepened, and gradually unable to extricate themselves.
Naria is the one who is relatively deep, it's not that Murio doesn't take the relationship between the two seriously, but Mulio is a little more rational than Naria.
What worries Murio is the family history of the two people. The relationship between Naria and Murio naturally can't be hidden from her family, and the Marquis didn't say anything after he found out, but just found someone at random, told Murio that he knew about it and would inform Murio's family, and Murio felt that this fragile love seemed to hit a wall and shattered at the touch.
The Marquis can easily let his family fall into a state of no return, and the border nobles can make countless articles as long as they casually check the output and amount of Heiyao Fruit in previous years. On one side is the woman he loves, on the other side is the other party's family, on the other side is the parents who raised him, and on the other side are a number of commoners and unawakened people who live on their parents in their parents' territory.
Murio felt ashamed of himself, there was once a declaration of the pricelessness of love in the academy, but he, he took out the love between himself and Naria, and measured the value of a value compared to the lives of his parents, the survival of the family, and the people in the territory.
So Murio cut off the relationship, he flinched and ran away. Compared with Naria's unhesitation, he seemed cowardly and cowered at this time. But what can he do? He can't help it.
"This guy is sleeping here, will there be a problem?" Looking at Murio, who was sleeping on the table, Moon asked the shopkeeper in the distance.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, the security of this Darnassus is not said, who dares to move our people in our imperial capital?"
"Well, that's fine. Go back, tired. Moon took Luo Xia and disappeared at the end of the road.
In the days that followed, Moon's life changed little, going to the reference room to find books, moving back to his residence, and reading books. Occasionally, he went to the data room to ask old Levi some questions, and when he couldn't find old Levy, he wouldn't use the contact conch to call the other party, so he went to the data room every day to see if he was there.
"Teacher, I have a few questions for me. Moon did not lie on the bed in his residence that day, but happened to come to the reference room again to look for books, and when he opened the door, he saw old Levi sitting in the shabby high-backed chair, looking at the papers in front of him, and his little eyes were about to be closed.
"Hmm... You ask. Old Levi didn't raise his head, and continued to study the document in front of him.
"There should be no regulations in the empire that clearly stipulate who is involved in the marriage of aristocratic families. β
"No, what's wrong?"
"Then why do some great nobles forbid their own children to marry with slightly inferior nobles, and as for the marriage between great nobles and commoners, I have never heard of it. β
"Hmmβ" Old Levi looked up at Moon, as if he didn't think the question was a big deal.
"The Unawakened. Old Levi gave the most fundamental answer first. "Although there is no most detailed data to support it, it has almost been concluded over the years that the combination of people with excellent magic talent will have a greater chance of their descendants having magic talent, and the combination of nobles and commoners, the probability of their descendants having magic talent is lower. The union between the commoners, most of the descendants only have the talent for bows. As for the unawakened...... Maybe you can verify what kind of person you are bonding with, and the offspring are better. β
