Chapter 33: The Poor Man Who Fell

Hogg House, Exorcism and Salvation Society.

"Emilia, it's you, you're so early. Walking into the room, Alsace was taken aback.

The morning light of winter does not carry any temperature, and can only illuminate the room where no one is located.

"Alsace ......"

"Your face is a little pale. Amilia, be careful about your body. ”

"I don't have to worry about you. ”

"Hehe, Amilia, didn't you sleep last night?" staring curiously into Amilia's eyes, Arthas seemed to have discovered something.

β€œ......”

She glared at Arthas coldly, ignoring his questions.

"Hehe, you are still so proud, my dear Brave Lord. Even if you don't say it, your dark circles have betrayed you. ”

β€œ......”

Hearing his words, Emilia quickly lowered her head and let her black bangs cover her haggard eyes.

Stayed up all night, and now, if she still claimed to be Edward's sister, it was estimated that no one would question her anymore.

Although their surnames and appearances are completely different, the two of them have a common feature - large dark circles under their eyes.

"Huh. ”

Seeing this, Arthas didn't say anything more, quietly found a seat and sat down, and waited patiently for the others.

Today, it is an important day for the Exorcism and Salvation Society.

After successfully qualifying for the Knight Tryouts, they will represent Hoag House in the next tournament against strong teams from all over the world.

With such a major event, how could the academy sit idly by?

In order to win the victory, and in order to make a name for himself on the continent again, and to revive the prestige of Hogg House, it is the duty of the Academy to give enough help and full support to the Exorcist Salvation Society.

"Arthas, good morning. ”

With her long blue hair shining like the Milky Way, Flandor walked into the room with graceful steps and greeted Arthas cordially.

"Oh, good morning. ”

Arthas smiled and politely returned the salute, but the indifference and disdain hidden behind his smiling face could not be hidden from the delicate Flando.

Even so, Flandor pretended not to notice, picked the closest spot to Arthas, and sat down with a smile.

"Huh, you're so early, it's hard, am I late? Oops, I didn't sleep well......" A cute teenager walked into the room with his head down.

Although no one blamed him, he still naturally lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong, and did not even dare to speak loudly.

"Yo, George, you're here too. Hehe, you're not late, it's just that some people are so lonely that they can't fall asleep, so they come a little earlier than usual. ”

Arthas said with a smile, peeking at Emilia's reaction from time to time.

In the past, Emilia was the last to show up. Not because she snooze, but because ...... The other guy is snooze.

She lived with Edwardβ€”a fact that Arthas knew very well. Every day, the two of them come together and return together, without superfluous words and greetings, just like an old husband and wife.

However, today she was alone in front of Artace, and unusually, she was the first to come to the Exorcist Salvation Society.

The reason for this is thought-provoking.

"George, you don't have to pay attention to him. Emilia pretended not to hear Arthas's sarcasm, and beckoned George to sit down.

Compared to Alsace, Emilia admired George, who was down-to-earth and serious.

"Oh......" George scratched his head and sat down next to Flando, confused.

"Ahem, alright...... "Arthas stood up and spoke decently, "Well, what about Edward?"

"He's not going to oversleep again, is he?" asked George weakly.

"Shall we go and wake him up?" asked Flandor.

There is only one person who knows the answer.

"Youβ€”why are you all looking at me? I don't know......" At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Emilia.

When it comes to Edward, for no reason, everyone's first reaction is to ask Amilia. It made her feel very uncomfortable.

Why do you ask me? I don't know him very well......

"So, Edward is missing?" Arthas asked.

Since Edward didn't come with Amilia, it means that Emilia doesn't know his whereabouts either.

Combined with what happened in Central City last night, Arthas vaguely guessed the answer.

"Missing??β€”Isn't he with you?" Emilia asked, "He didn't come back last night, I thought ......"

β€œ...... Amilia, you're an idiot. He didn't go back to sleep with you, why do you conclude that he came to me?" Arthas had a black line on his face, completely unable to understand Emilia's logic.

"What are you talking about, he, why does he sleep with me, sleep with me...... Didn't we sleep together?"

Turning a deaf ear to the second half of Arthas's words, the first half of which alone made Emilia's face blush like a big apple.

"Hehe, what else do you have to explain?"

Arthas smiled bitterly, he first gave Flandor and George a helpless look, and after getting their affirmation, he looked at Emilia helplessly.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: everyone understands, so you don't have to quibble anymore.

"I, I'm ......" Emilia couldn't argue, she could only hurry.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if he's not there. Arthas quickly shook his head and quickly changed the subject, "But, why haven't they come yet?"

By Arthas, they mean Kane and Angelina.

It stands to reason that today, Kane and Angelina will join their Exorcism and Salvation Society, giving them guidance and help as advisors.

To put it bluntly, it is to hold a mobilization meeting, and then teach them how to beat the other teams down cleanly.

However, not only did Edward disappear, but neither of them came.

"Kane and Angelina...... Today, they can't come. Emilia, who had calmed down, sighed, her tone a little sad.

"Why?"

β€œ......”

"Even if Principal Kane has something to do temporarily, Angelina should always come here, hasn't she always called herself 'the most competent teacher'?"

"Anyway, they just won't be able to come. ”

"Why? Give me the answer...... Could it have something to do with last night's events?" Arthas asked, snapping in his mind.

Although last night's stirring in Central City had nothing to do with it, Arthas still smelled of conspiracy.

β€œ......”

Silence is what Emilia does best.

Let Kane give them some bullshit rally? Don't be funny......

From Bruno, Kane got the explanation he wanted - all the enemies that appeared on the shopping street, including the Red Flame Dog, were reduced to scum by Sheila's powerful magic, and even the corpses were not left.

The only regret was that they couldn't save the poor man and woman.

Kane heard that the demon fox had been summoning all kinds of demonic beasts from beginning to end, and then ordered them to attack a pair of men and women who were powerless to resist.

Although the righteous judgment is enough to destroy all evil, they are still one step too late.

When cleaning the battlefield, the people of the Holy See did not find the bodies of the man and woman, nor did they find the body of the demon fox.

The corpse was powdered by the spear of lightβ€”that was probably the most plausible explanation.

No one can escape justice, and Shera, who can perform miracles, can also destroy the miracles of the enemy!

Now, Kane is locking himself up in his basement, with no rice, no water, and no water. With such a grief-stricken Kane, Emilia has seen it for the first time.

"Hey......"

Perhaps, he is a ruthless and unrighteous person, and maybe until now, he is still a cold killing machine.

Angelina is her best friend, but compared to Kane, her performance can be described as ruthless and unjust.

There is no sadness, no pain, just boundless loss and outright powerlessness.

She felt as if she was falling from a thousand feet in the air, and there was no thick earth for her to tread, and there was no warm embrace for her to snuggle up to.

She kept falling, falling, as if she could never stop, never reaching her predestined tragic end.

"Amilia, you ......"

Before Arthas could speak, the door of the Exorcist Salvation Society was suddenly kicked open!

A big fat man with a big face and a big grin broke in from the door.

"Haha, little cubs, so you're all here. Come on, let Lao Tzu teach you the truth of being a human being!

β€œ......”

Seeing this uninvited nasty guy, Arthas frowned.

"Rem ......"
