Book 38 Back to the Little Hotel

The director of the faculty has a very unambiguous posture, and it is useless to reject Zhou Shu's request for leave.

Pavol watched from the side with his arms crossed, and when he saw that the other teacher's attitude was tough, he motioned with his eyes to retreat first.

Out of the general affairs office, Pavol sighed and read a word very disdainfully. "Powerful!" he said this, and he wronged the head teacher. If he knew that Master Zhou had the ability to protect himself, he wouldn't bother to talk so much.

Ula talked to Smith in Chinese and told him about Asuka and the black market. Smith felt that it was reasonable for his master to want to build a cultivation array, but it was nosy to help the woman with whom he had no friendship. Although he has a chivalrous heart, he understands the truth of red face and trouble.

"If we can't take leave now, what should we do?" said Master Zhou's sad face.

If it's an hour ago, it doesn't matter if you don't take time off. Anyway, the only thing that is more urgent now is to save the bird, and even if you can't take leave, you can kill Arni first, so that no one will embarrass the girl anymore. But now that Arni is home, he is left on campus.

Pavol leaned against the wall of the hallway, "Why do you have to take a leave of absence?"

Midali helped Zhou Shu and replied, "They want to save their friends." ”

"That's not what I'm asking. I mean, why do you have to take a leave of absence, don't you sneak away?"

"Sneaking away?" Zhou Shu has never skipped class since he was a child. "Are you okay?"

"If it's from your dorm, it's all right. Pavol gestured with an ok gesture and said, "The school guards only patrol the main building, and there are hardly any people in your dormitory." But I'm not going to go. It's just that if the attendant slips out, it's nothing if he is discovered, and the instructor never names the attendant in class. If a non-commissioned officer is found to have left the school without permission, he may be expelled from school. At least that's how I used to be at the non-commissioned officer school. ”

Midali frowned at this. "I want to go out with them, too. ”

"If you say so, just go and ask for leave, the head of the faculty just won't give Smith a leave of absence. You are also considered a powerful person, there is no reason not to give it to you, and you are much more powerful than the Wings of Light. ”

Midali thought about it, really. I didn't enter the school as a non-commissioned officer myself, but I came here as a guest to exchange and learn, and I didn't become an officer after graduation.

The school has no right to restrict my freedom. Thinking of this, Midali turned and rushed into the academic office, and within two minutes came out with a parchment leave slip stamped with a steel seal.

"Powerful!" Pavol muttered the word again, then claimed to say goodbye to a few people in a while, causing Midali to furrow her eyebrows.

Zhou Shu and Ula Mi looked at each other and decided to sneak out tonight. As for Smith, it was better to keep him at school. He's a good fit to cultivate in this world, and it's better not to do things that might get him kicked out of school.

At two o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhou Shu and Ula Mystery ate candy that strengthened their agility and jumping ability, and slipped out of school easily. Midali swaggered out of the main entrance in the afternoon with a leave slip, and at this time secretly crouched under the wall and waited for the two of them.

When she saw Zhou Shu and Ula Mystery falling from the top of her head, she was simply stunned. "You two can fly?" she had now decided that the aliens were from faraway countries with more advanced magical civilizations.

Zhou Shu followed Bruce Lee's example and wiped his nose with his thumb and didn't make a sound. Ula pulled the two out of the school and came to the small inn where they had stayed before they enrolled.

The Defeated City is a wartime city and has a curfew policy. Midali booked a room on the third floor of the inn, and at this moment she was grabbed by Zhou Shu and Ula Mystery at the same time, and the two of them jumped to the window of the room on the third floor with a bunny jump at the same time, and slipped in.

"Nice!" Mr. Zhou praised. From tonight's action, he found some sense of a snitch coming and going.

Midali shook off Zhou Shu and grabbed her hand, and looked at the two of them incredulously. "You two really don't practice martial arts, why do you jump higher than me? ”

Zhou Shu felt that this red woman had a good personality and might be their second friend after Lilia, so he revealed a little bit of his secret to her. Only the jelly beans in the candy house.

Holding a pale yellow jelly bean with a peach flavor in her hand, Midali asked the two of them in disbelief: "If you eat this candy, you can jump high?" I don't believe it, my father used fruit candy to coax me who didn't want to sleep when I was a child, saying that after eating candy and sleeping obediently, I could marry the prince. It only ended up giving me worm teeth. ”

"You can eat and see. Master Zhou sat on the floor of the room, wanting to lie here and make do all night. There are still birds to save at dawn, and it is the right thing to restore the magic now.

Midali looked at the jelly bean in her hand and thought for a long time, and finally carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it away. "I'll just be fooled by you once, sleep. Ula Mystery will sleep with me?"

Ula shook his head, pulled a list and rolled on the floor with his master.

Adulterer and adulteress. Midali cursed and fell asleep on the bed.

When Midali left school yesterday, she went to the Falcon stronghold in the city and gave her brother an order to find the birds. For one night, the Falcon Killers were so busy that they didn't have time to go to the toilet, so they finally completed the task before breakfast and fed back the information to their own eldest lady who was drinking cereal porridge in the small hotel.

Midali listened to her subordinates' reports, angrily threw the wooden spoon of porridge on the ground, and then collapsed in her chair in frustration. The member of the Falcon Slayer was accustomed to seeing the virtue of his eldest lady, and retreated before she lost her temper.

"What? Is it bad news?" Zhou Shu asked with an uneasy expression.

Midalie grabbed the cereal porridge and drank it down, slapping the wooden bowl on the table, "Damn, Arni!"

"Why, your subordinates even found out about this. ”

Midali nodded, "I just looked it up." They reported to me that one of Arni's housekeepers had recommended a two-story rental villa in the city to Miss Asuka, who was looking for a house to live in, and lent it to her at a very low price. A fire broke out in the villa on the night she moved in, and Miss Asuka was the only one living in it, so the temple court determined that the fire was caused by Miss Asuka's improper use of fire. Although the fire did not spread, the villa was burned down, and Ms. Asuka faced a large amount of compensation. Since the Inquisition of the Temple found her insolvent, she was deprived of her status as a free person early yesterday morning. ”

"What!?" Zhou Shu and Ula Mystery were both shocked after hearing this. "It's not the same as what we've heard, I've heard she's only going to ...... tomorrow"

Midali interrupted the two of them, "You heard that from Arni, right? The owner of that room was Kouchi Trading Company, so it was only natural that Miss Asuka became a slave of Kouchi Trading Company. Arni wants to buy her for money, and perhaps the scheduled transaction time is the tomorrow you hear about. However, things have changed, and the current president of the Kou Chi Trading Company came to the Defeated Fortress yesterday, and he personally came forward to reject the deal with Arni. ”

Kou Chi Trading Company, the largest commercial association in the Hakutsuki Kingdom, has had almost all of its monopoly on the commercial activities related to shipping in the Hakutsuki Province since sixty years ago. The size of a trading company could be called an empire. Unlike other chambers of commerce, which are cooperative with other merchants, Kochi Trading Company is an authoritarian empire, and the first two generations of presidents were dictators. The previous president had died in an assassination attempt with his wife a year earlier, and the ownership of the trading company had been transferred to their only son, who was twenty years old.

Zhou Shu had heard of the Kou Chi Trading Company, and the three hooded cloaks that Lilia had bought were sewn with their logos. This business empire started with a monopoly on shipping, and now its business is very diversified, as long as ordinary businessmen can interfere in the business, they can be seen.

"It's hard. Ula pinched his smooth chin and fell into thought. "Why would that president refuse to sell an ordinary slave to Arni, although the power of the Chamber of Commerce is far greater than that of a small army leader in the Defeated City, he won't make trouble for no reason, right?"

The worst thing Zhou Shu could think of was, "...... Could it be that the president of this newcomer is also a pervert, and he has a crush on the birds?"

Midalihaula looked at each other and thought it was a possibility.

"It's just a slave, even if the Kou Chi Trading Company thinks that the price given by Arni is low and wants to sell it, they won't want their president to show up in person. Midali recalled the details that her subordinates had just reported to her, "The president arrived in the Defeated Soldier City yesterday and tore up the business shortly after...... Zhou Shu, it seems that you should have been right. ”

"I've always guessed this kind of bad thing. Master Zhou smiled helplessly. "What's next, do you want to deal with this president?"

The trio are now on the first floor of the hotel, surrounded by a number of travelers eating breakfast. Zhou Shu's voice was a little loud, and Midali heard a wooden spoon that grabbed Ula Mystery and threw it in his face.

"You TMD, can't you be quiet?" Midali she was really afraid, yesterday Master Zhou killed a powerful kid with a smile, and he obviously didn't mean to joke when he said this. She didn't know the origin of the mysterious foreigner in front of her, but there were all kinds of signs that Zhou Shu had the ability to kill the poor new president. When the time comes, the president hangs up, and Miss Asuka is rescued. When the garrison department tracks down the murderer, it will be difficult to find his head because of Zhou Shu's words just now. Although she has a bit of power, she is not even a hair compared to Kou Chi Trading Company. People can have the financial resources to support a country to fight a complete Hundred Years' War! Zhou Shu was thrown on the milk cereal, looking a little wolf. He wasn't going to kill, he just wanted to sneak up on the birds.

As a native of this world, Midali is well aware of Kou Chi's power, and whispers to persuade the two of them to buy Miss Asuka back as much as possible from the right path. "Miss Asuka is now a slave, and it's just a business for Kou Chi. As long as the price is right, there is every chance of a peaceful solution. ”

"The price is right?" Zhou Shu touched the money bag hanging from his waist, "If it is less than two hundred new moon coins......

Midali wanted to put a bowl of cereal on his head and crumple the bread into his nostrils. A female ** with a talent for magic, this kind of high-end goods only appears once in a few years, and the pricing unit is usually gold, how can it be bought with a mere crescent moon silver coin.

Zhou Shu didn't know what was going on, and scratched his head very idiotically, "Isn't it enough?"

Midali took out the candy she got from Zhou Shu from her pocket, pulled his ear and whispered, "Is this candy real, do you have any surplus?"

Zhou Shu secretly conjured up a page and tore it off, and another candy appeared in his hand.

"Ah~" Master Zhou pinched the candy and stretched it out to Midali's mouth to make a feeding shape. Midali hesitated, but still opened her mouth and asked Zhou Shu to throw the candy into her mouth.

"Do you really dare to eat it, aren't you afraid of poison?"

"I really regret what you said, it's not poison, is it?"

The two were joking, which made the Ula mystery on the side a little appreciative, and they didn't know what expression to put on.

This candy is banana flavored and strengthens the speed. Northerner Midali, who had never eaten a banana, gave a very positive assessment of the taste of sugar.

Zhou Shu observed her bite the jelly bean and swallow it in her stomach, and quickly picked up her wooden spoon and threw it at her. The wooden spoon flew in the air and was grabbed by Midali, and then slammed it on Master Zhou's head with a backhand. He rubbed the part where he had been hit, and gave Midali a smug expression, "How's it going, it's genuine? ”

As soon as Midali ate the candy, she noticed something in her body, or rather something in the world. She noticed that the things in front of her began to slow down, as if everyone was in water, but she was not affected by the slowing effect. When Zhou Shu threw the spoon at her, Midali easily caught the slow spoon in mid-air. At this point, she fully believed that the jelly bean that Zhou Shu threw into her mouth really had magical powers.

It took a few minutes for Midali to adjust to the changes Jelly Beans had given her. This was not the first time she had experienced this feeling, she had a similar experience as a child. At that time, she got into a fight with the bad boys in the city over some trivial matter, which was a very common kind of children's fight, and the opponents were ordinary citizen children wearing tattered clothes and snot. As a result, a girl was bullied by a group of people on the ground, and in order to get back to the field, she stood on the strengthening magic array of the barracks, and forced a thousand-year-old uncle to strengthen her.

Although the enhanced magic array allows soldiers to gain great strength in a short period of time, it will damage the body for a certain period of time. This is nothing for ordinary soldiers, and if they are not strengthened, they will most likely die directly on the battlefield. But for those who have the talent of martial arts cultivation, this kind of strengthening damage is fatal, and it may even cause the realm to fall.

Back then, the ignorant Midali relied on the power of the reinforcement to beat those bad boys all over the ground, and she felt the same way she felt when she ate jelly beans at the moment.

"This thing won't have any side effects, right?" said Midali, who suddenly became uneasy. The unwise reinforcement behavior when she was a child made her rare talent drop by nearly one percent, and it became the most regrettable thing she has ever done in her life.

Zhou Shu scolded 'idiot' mercilessly. "I eat a lot of it myself, do you think there will be side effects?"

Midali was overjoyed, "Where did you get this good thing?

Although the effect of this sugar is not as strong as that of the enhanced magic array, it has a long duration and no side effects, and it can also be used by martial artists.

Zhou Shu glanced at the red woman vigilantly, "What, do you want to buy it from me?" After each game, you can get two random pieces, plus two to three points. It may seem like a lot, but it costs a thousand mana points in a single game.

"Aren't you trying to save people? I can come forward and help you ask the president to come out and talk, we probably still have the face of the Eagle Slayer. When you get the people out, you can just give me some of this candy. ”

For Midali's Tiyì, Ula Mystery is very much in favor. She could see that Midali was a simple person with no bad intentions. There is no harm in trading with such people, and it is a safer way to do it. After all, when they came out this time, saving the birds was just by the way, and the most important task was to get a high-level cultivation magic array. It's so expensive that it seems to have to turn to Midali for help.

The three of them had breakfast for a few hours, and they ate all over the floor. The innkeeper was very upset and brought them three cheap beers to the table, which meant to let them look at the sun, it was almost noon.

Zhou Shu found that the three of them had been chatting for a long time in such an unsafe place, and when he saw the beer, he remembered the real sick princess who was sitting in front of the store drinking beer.

I wonder if she's still living here?

The sick princess quickly answered Zhou Shu's questions with practical actions, only to see her walk into the hotel hall from upstairs, listlessly as if she had just woken up. After handing the letter to the shopkeeper, she sat down in front of the shop as usual, took a glass of wine from the beer keg and drank it.
