Chapter 806: Stepping on the Face (First Update)
Early morning.
Venus City.
In a hotel room.
Chen Rui stood up and slowly opened the door, and after returning from the Nightmare Plain, he had been locking himself in the room.
The trip to the Jade Forest Sea was actually huge, and the artifact and potion were promoted to the grandmaster at the same time, which should be the time to be in high spirits, but his mood was extremely heavy.
The Origin of the Nightmare became a veritable nightmare, in order to save Blanche, starting from the Zhuanghu Tribe, he killed all the way to the strongest Thunderstorm Tribe, fought against the three Beamon Beast Kings, and then turned to the Swamp of Doom, and was almost killed by a terrible god-given weapon in the Secret Whisper Stone Palace, but when he arrived at the blood cave of Nightmare Volcano after a hard battle, he was one step too late after all, and all he could find was a pair of glasses, the relics of a half-elf girl.
For this reason, Chen Rui fell into deep self-blame, the real reason why Blanche left the Jade Forest Sea was because of him.
He knew that the taciturn half-elf girl actually had a lot to say to him in her heart, but there was never such a chance again. If he could do it all over again, he would choose to give Blanche a real promise when he was in the Emerald Forest.
It's a pity that there is no such "if".
In any case, what has been lost has been lost, and the only way to cherish what you have now is to cherish what you have now.
He will always remember this young girl, and he will completely destroy the Mystery Church to avenge her.
After calming down, he took a deep breath, put his sadness into the depths of his heart, and strode out the door.
Today is the day the Tower of Stars opens, and now he is heading to Starlight Academy.
Not long after, Chen Rui arrived at Starlight Academy in a carriage, and the carriage business between Starlight Academy and Starlight Academy in the past two days was unprecedentedly hot. Prices have all tripled.
There are a lot more law enforcement teams and reception staff at the school gate than usual, and Chen Rui is the incarnation of "Lomon". Holding the pass badge issued by the school department, he entered the school gate unimpeded.
on campus. It was not as lively as expected, but more orderly than usual.
"Lomon!" There are not many people who know "Lomon" on this campus, Chen Rui was a little surprised, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a female disciple of Socrates who went to the Jade Forest Sea together last time, it seemed to be called Sophia, and her appearance was a little sweet.
"You're finally back, and the teacher has been talking about you every day for the past few days, if only he knew that you were back. Will definitely be happy. I'm going to go to the teacher's dean's office now, together?"
"No need," Chen Rui smiled slightly: "I'll go to the school affairs department first, the Tower of Stars will open this afternoon, I have to register first." Anyway, xiexie you. β
"Oh," Sophia said after taking a few steps, suddenly plucking up her courage, "if she has time." Can I ask you about the magic circle individually?"
What is this? Dating? Chen Rui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly complain: This is too unscientific, isn't it, just this second-rate sesame cake bitter gourd face, there is actually a girl who sticks it upside down and sends it to the door? Do you want to answer a "brother only likes widow wives"? (A nephew sneezes wildly in the demon world)
Chen Rui thought about it. He replied, "Right now, it's the Tower of the Stars...... Uh, when you're done with this big thing, okay?"
After being busy with this. "Lomon" should also disappear.
"Yes. Sophia's face seemed to be a little red, and her steps were faster.
Look at Sophia's back. Chen Rui scratched his head with a wry smile and came all the way to the school affairs department. I happened to run into Bilia under the building.
There are a lot of people in the school administration building, and there are two men and a woman next to Bilia, who are actually "acquaintances".
The first is Arthur's fiancΓ©e, the princess of the Blue Yao Empire, and the other two are Billia's nephew, Nell, the second man, and Quinn, whom Chen Rui met in the Emerald Forest last time.
Quinn thinks very highly of himself, and he wanted to challenge Chen Rui at the beginning, but the knife in his hand was melted by Duoduo in one fire.
Although Lambis's beauty was particularly dazzling in the crowd, even Bilia was eclipsed, but Chen Rui didn't look at the others, and greeted Bilia directly: "Miss Bilia, we meet again, I have already come to participate in the trial of the Tower of Stars." β
As soon as this sentence came out, the face of the second cargo man Nell suddenly changed, last time he borrowed the hand of his aunt Bilia to deal with his rival Fitz, but Fetz was fine, but he received a bad news, the extra recommended place for his aunt to enter the Tower of Stars was given to another person!
Originally, in Nell's opinion, there was no suspense at all that this place belonged to him, which also became one of his capitals for being proud and ridiculing others, but the sudden bad news was like a bolt from the blue, making it difficult for the second man to adapt for a while, and he felt that he couldn't hold his head up in front of his classmates and Shueisha peers, especially Rowling.
This matter also has another significance, that is, the battle for family heirs is equivalent to the loss of an important capital.
However, Nell was self-aware and did not dare to show the slightest resentment towards Billia, his father only had one sister, Billia, but more than one son. What's more, Bilia is the real power figure of Starlight Academy, and her voice in the family is not under his father who is the city lord. Because of this, his mother tried her best to encircle and please Bilia, just to give him more convenience, if she annoyed this aunt, whether in the academy or in the future, it would be harmless, so the second man could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Now, the guy who snatched his quota appeared in front of him blatantly, and mentioned this matter in public, which was tantamount to a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.
"What are you?" Nell couldn't help but blurt out, such a precious spot was snatched up by this seemingly garbage!
"Miss Bilia, why are there such rude idiots around you?" Chen Rui didn't have a good tone for this kind of goods.
Nell was furious, gritting his teeth as if he was going to swallow Chen Rui alive, Billia frowned: "Lomon, this is just a misunderstanding, he is my nephew Nell Falos." β
"It turned out to be your nephew...... Then for the sake of your face, this matter will be forgotten. Chen Rui glanced at the second man with a look of disdain.
Bilia knew very well the strength and ruthlessness of "Richard", and if he had been so rude by another guy with humble strength, he would have been annihilated with a wave of his hand long ago. In fact, it is already very face-saving for her.
However, this attitude angered the second cargo man even more: "You damn ......"
"Shut up!" Bilia snorted, her tone visibly displeased.
Nell's face twitched. In the end, he didn't dare to speak again.
"Miss Bilia, you need to educate our Nell well. Teach him the most basic courtesies. When Chen Rui said "we", he deliberately accentuated his tone and squeezed his eyes at Bilia.
"Don't say a word, come with me to the school department first. Bilia glared at Chen Rui dissatisfiedly, but there was no follow-up, which surprised Lan Bisi and the others. Bilia is well-known for her sternness and arrogance in the Academy, and if someone else were to make such a flirtatious statement, she would definitely go crazy immediately. However, today's reaction is such a salty sentence, and it also reveals a tone that is familiar with that "Lomon". This cannot but be surprising, even suspicious.
"I beg your pardon, Minister Bilia, as far as I know, even if there is a recommendation, it must be reviewed by the dean, even if it is recommended by the minister himself. Lambis finally spoken, although she knew that Nell belonged to the type who couldn't hold up the wall, but after all, there was a city lord father. At the same time, she is also a member of the Shueisha of her organization, and now that Nell has been humiliated in public, it is impossible for her Shueisha president to stand idly by.
Billia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she nodded, "Not bad." β
"Audit?" Chen Rui looked at Lan Bisi with interest. deliberately showed an aggressive gaze, and Quinn looked at it on the side, his eyes were cold.
Lambis's complexion remained unchanged. said lightly: "Yes, the audit should have ended yesterday." As far as I know, your name is not on the vetting list. β
"That's right. Chen Rui suddenly smiled, "Dean level...... Will the vice dean be okay?"
"Of course. Lambis was thinking that the question was a little strange, when she heard a voice from behind.
"Lomon!"
This voice is actually Vice Dean Socrates, and improving the magic array is addictive, especially after tasting the sweetness. Socrates has been studying since his return from the Emerald Forest, and these days he has just gotten into the horns of the bull, failed several times, and has been looking forward to the return of "Lomon". Now I heard Sophia say that she met "Lomon" at school, and immediately rushed to the school department.
"You're finally back!" the vice president slapped Chen Rui on the shoulder, "I was looking for you, come with me to the laboratory!"
Socrates' obvious intimacy surprised Lambis and the others, and Chen Rui shook his head: "Wait a minute, Lord Dean." Someone just said that my recommendation to enter the Tower of Stars has not been reviewed by the dean, and it cannot take effect, and I have a headache. β
Socrates' eyes were crossed, and his first reaction was to look at Billia: "Who said that?"
"Of course it's not me," Billia smiled indifferently, "I'm the recommender of this Lomont teacher." β
"That's right, this time your school department has done a good thing. Socrates' gaze fell on Lambis and the others, "Lomon's qualifications were reviewed by me more than a month ago, who still has any doubts?"
Nell lowered his head, and for him, it was another resounding slap in the face.
"I'm sorry, Dean, but not anymore. Lambis replied generously, and began to look at the lazy-looking guy again, so that the deputy dean could pay such attention, coupled with Billia's attitude, "Lomon" is definitely not an ordinary talent.
If this person stays in the academy in the future, at least he cannot become an enemy.
"Then it's okay over here!Lomon, you can help me go and see that magic array, as long as the improvement is successful, I can help you get an additional place. β
When Nell heard Zuihou's words, hope burned in his heart again, and he desperately glanced at Bilia. Chen Rui saw it in his eyes and sneered secretly, do you really think that the earth is revolving around you alone?
"No, Lord Dean, the Tower of the Stars is not something that can be entered by anything. β
This sentence completely ruined Nell's luck, which was equivalent to a few slaps in public, and then stepped on it fiercely, and the face of the second cargo man suddenly became extremely blue.
Chen Rui didn't even look at Nell, just nodded at Billia and followed Socrates away. (To be continued.) )
PS: Work overtime on Saturday, let's take a day off today, and the two will be served.
