Central City, a certain room.

Outside, the sun was shining, and the snow on the ground reflected the dazzling light, but inside the house was pitch black, and there was no finger visible, and from time to time there was a snoring roar coming from the corner, as if a dangerous beast was hidden, crawling in the shadows waiting for its prey to approach.

Bang dang...... The door opened suddenly.

"Rem, Rem, what about the people? You stinky boy, you're lazy again. Get the hell out of here!"

If the fat man hiding in the room is a dangerous beast, then the white-haired old man outside the door who blows his beard and stares is a hunter specializing in ** beasts.

"Hmm...... Who would dare to disturb Lao Tzu's sleep and not want to live?" Rem opened his eyes scoldingly, squirming his fat body reluctantly, tossing for a long time before he could see the person outside the door.

It didn't matter, he almost peed his pants in fright.

"Mr. Kane? Oh no, it's Principal Kane...... Y-Why are you here?"

"Hmph, you don't want me to come?"

"No, no, no, you're laughing, how could I not want you to come? I miss you for so long!"

"Get out of the way. Lock yourself in your room in the middle of the day and sleep a lot, and you deserve to be a teacher?"

"Yes, yes, you're saying that I shouldn't sleep in the academy...... Headmaster Kane, I'd better go home and sleep. Rem said as he was about to go out.

"Going home?" Kane's face turned blue with anger, "I said Rem ......"

"What's the matter?"

"Let's see if you'll make it out of the gate alive today. Kane said through gritted teeth.

The furious magical elements frantically swarmed into Kane's body, and just standing next to him, the chaotic air currents were about to stir Rem's fat into meat sauce.

"Don't ...... Hehe, I'm not kidding. How could I run away irresponsibly and go home, there are still a lot of chores waiting for me to deal with in the academy, and even if I have to leave, I have to find someone to top the bag. ”

Rem said with a grin.

"What do you mean, Rem, are you complaining that I suddenly disappeared and blamed you for all the trouble?"

"I—How dare I...... It's a pleasure to help you run the Academy, and even if you and Angelina aren't there, I'm not going to complain or anything. ”

Rem was half disgusted by his words, but still pretended to be flattered on his face.

"Hmph...... It's good that you know. Finally letting out all the fire in his stomach, Kane said with a twist of his beard, "Rem, I came to you today because I have a few things to ask you. ”

"If you have any instructions, let us listen. In order to save his life, Rem kept laughing flatteringly.

"How's the Exorcism Salvation Society's competition lately?"

"Oh, you're asking about this ......" Rem breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, even if Rem doesn't answer this question, Kane knows it very well in his heart. Although the current Emilia is far inferior to the top powerhouses on the mainland, dealing with young students of the same level is tantamount to chopping melons and vegetables, wolves into the flock, and every game is a one-sided situation.

Kane and Angelina were not there, and Rem was still a little weak-hearted, for fear that he would mess up the game, but Emilia's continuous amazing performances gave him a reassurance.

Championships are at your fingertips.

"What? they're already in the final?" Kane couldn't believe his ears, "I've only been away for so many days, and I'm already in the final?"

"yes, the final is just a few days away...... Kane, are you really sick? Even if you stay at home all day, you should know about such a big deal. ”

"I, you, the ......"

"Also, where the hell did Angelina's girl go, you're not there, and she's nowhere to be seen, and I'm dying of exhaustion......" Rem said with a dejected head.

"No nonsense! I'm not done with my question. Kane coughed dryly twice and pretended to yell, "There's one more problem. Rem I ask you, do you know the whereabouts of the Wings of Judgment?"

"......" Rem was stunned and didn't say anything.

"Are you dumb?"

"Didn't the military already announce it. All members of the Wings of Judgment died, and none survived. Even the little ones know ......"

"Don't play tricks on me, Rem, do you think I'm going to believe these nonsense, they must be alive, and you must know their whereabouts. Kane said firmly.

"Why do you think that?" Rem frowned.

"I can't imagine it, it was a scrap wood that told me. Kane curled the corners of his mouth helplessly, "If your answer is no, it means that he lied to me." But...... I guess he's not going to lie. ”

"Scrap wood?"

Rem stared blankly at Kane, unable to understand what he was saying.

Since when has even scrap wood been able to grasp military secrets? Has the so-called secrets become such unworthy information?

"Boy, do you know? If you don't know, I'll kill that scrap right now. ”

"He didn't lie to you. After a moment's hesitation, Rem got up and closed the door, then whispered to Kane, "Wings of Judgment didn't die, probably ......"

"Probably?"

"Well, there's no conclusive evidence, but they should have been ambushed in the Everfree Forest. Rem paused, quietly listening to the sounds around him, and after making sure that their conversation was not overheard by a third person, he continued, "The enemy is not the demons, but ourselves. ”

“...... Actually, it's true. Hearing Rem's answer, Kane froze in place, "That is, he didn't lie to me, he is indeed a magic ......"

"What did you say? What is he?"

"No, nothing. I just think it's kind of funny. ”

Hearing this, Kane couldn't help but feel pity for the waste wood, and said to himself with a wry smile.

"In that case...... Forget it, then I'll help you. ”

===============

There is no such thing as an omniscient God. It turns out that the smarter a person is, the more he will fall into the quagmire of blind self-confidence.

Arthas guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

"Edward, I used to underestimate you too much, but I didn't expect you to be so brave. I'm sorry, it's offensive, but your courage is not inferior to that of the brave. ”

"Hehe......"

Edward didn't know how to answer Alsace's compliment.

He seemed to have misunderstood something, but Edward couldn't explain it to him. Forget it, just smile at this time......

Central City, High Street.

Arthas took Edward and Night to dangle around Central City, and before he knew it, he was walking to the high street.

This long street is so crowded with people that it's easy to forget that it's not really the heart of the city.

"Edward, you know, seven years ago this was not a shopping street, it was a wall. ”

"The city walls?"

"That's right. In the past, Central City wasn't as big as it is now. After the Night of the Red Roses, the walls were damaged in several places, and the gates were damaged, so instead of taking time and effort to repair them, it was better to tear them down and rebuild them. As a result, it became an empty street. ”

"Oh......"

"I didn't expect that after a few years, it would become the busiest street in Central City, and it was named Commercial Street. The world is impermanent, isn't it?"

"Yes......" Edward said perfunctory.

Although Edward was interested in these little stories, he had to be on guard against being talked about by Arthas at all times...... If he fell into his trap again, Edward would have no place to cry.

Leaving the shopping street, Arthas took Edward to another remote street. With its low bungalows and narrow streets, it's best described as a slum.

"This is Emilia's house. ”

Arthas smiled and pointed to the dilapidated house not far away.

"Oh......"

Looking along his hand, in addition to Amilia's tattered "home", Edward saw two familiar figures.

Those two ......

"Alright. Let's go, Edward. (To be continued.) )
