The Storm Rises Chapter 144 The Academy's Thanks, Visit Ryder's House
"I'm going to wait and visit Charles at the Ryder house, this tarot card, huh?" Wang Yu remained silent, and after reading the long list of words that appeared on the communication crystal, he naturally took out the tarot card again as an observation.
Then Wang Yu expressed his discovery in a questioning tone, "Charles has left something on it, don't tell others about Charles's tarot card for the time being, Charles will also pretend not to know about it." ”
"So, it should have something to do with their family's strange prophetic abilities," Edward nodded, not asking for too many details.
"Originally, I came with you to see what was going on with the Charles, but although I don't usually use this identity, it would still be very troublesome if I really went directly to the Ryder family, although maybe my purpose has nothing to do with this aspect, there will still be people who interpret this behavior as an alliance between the Grand Duke and the Ryder family."
Spreading his hands, Edward said helplessly, with his identity, sometimes it is very troublesome to think of a friend with status to visit the house.
The two of them said as they waited for the finishing touches on this side, and when the technicians of Nightblade and the operation team who arrived later cleaned up the perimeter, Wang Yu and Edward's work here was over.
The rest, it is not within the scope of the two of them that should be responsible, it is better to let the people of the academy handle it themselves.
However, compared to the academy and the Night Blade, it was Avia who left for a while while Wang Yu was chatting with Edward, and Avia walked over with Wendy, taking Wendy's hand and softly comforting her.
Wendy, a girl with a big grin and vitality, no longer has the liveliness and jumpiness of the past at the moment, tears on her face that wants to be strong keep slipping, and her red eyes are slightly puffy.
Her expression was a little blank, but inside there was a deep sadness hidden in the shadow, and the impact was a little too sudden and huge, and this blankness was brought about by the serious unreality and sense of separation that was still difficult to accept reality.
It seems that Avia did not hide the news of Webb Lanki's death, and it was also an inescapable fact, labor pains or something else, just a simple multiple-choice question.
In Wendy's eyes, the loss of a loved one is probably nothing more than a deserving sinner who died in a disaster of his own making.
After the investigation, the thorough investigation and distribution of Webb Lanki's estate, Wendy, as her granddaughter, has a lot to face while carrying the grief of losing her loved ones.
Wendy rested her head on Avia's shoulder, listening to Avia's soft reassurance, her eyes darkened, and the tears poured out the sudden sorrow, leaving only the smoldering grief.
At this time, the girl who has always been called Sister Avia by Wendy may be one of the few or the only ones for Wendy to rely on.
Although he didn't know who Wendy's parents were, Wang Yu hadn't seen or heard Avia mention it, and it was Avia and her teacher Barrett who often stayed with Wendy
Edward opened his mouth, looking at this scene and wanting to say something, but as an outsider in a sense, he couldn't say any words of comfort, no matter what he said, at this moment there was a sense of error that standing and talking did not hurt his back.
"Teacher Webb wants to try to resurrect Wendy's father, I'll stay with her now, she needs someone to comfort her, and then she should be taken care of by the Knight Mentor Barrett."
Through the wizard's ability, Avia's words reached Wang Yu's ears, and she had to accompany the girl who had just lost her loved one.
Touching Wendy's head, Avia took the girl, who had the same physique as a warrior but was fragile at the moment, and left the battlefield that was still in ruins.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Edward sighed, the helplessness and unwillingness in his heart could not be concealed, he had experienced some things, what he got was not gradual numbness and adaptation, but deeper and deeper unease.
Wang Yu didn't try to say anything comforting the whole time, he knew his level of persuasion, his level of speech was limited, and trying to say something at this moment was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and it had no effect at all.
It's Evia, who also needs his stupid guy to enlighten him at the beginning, and now can he provide that support for another frustrated person, I hope Wendy can also get out of this matter quickly.
"Mr. Wang Yu! You're here, Dean Westin is looking for you. ”
Just as he was thinking about something, a respectful call from a member of the Night's Edge team came from the side, "The dean is coming to me?" What's the matter..."
Wang Yu, who didn't know what the dean was doing when he came to him, stood up, the status of the dean of the academy was similar to that of Xiu Ge in the royal city, and the same formulaic respect that he had to give when he met the king when he didn't know how to behave.
After a brief fluctuation of magic power, a young man wearing a magic robe appeared not far in front of Wang Yu, his dress was actually very close to the style of ordinary residents of the royal city, and the magic robe was not the kind of robe worn by a bloated functional traditional mage, but a cut type that was easy to put on and take off.
His face is very young, and he looks quite ordinary, but the most conspicuous thing is his pair of slightly slender ears, elf? No wonder it looks and listens to the sound of youth...
Without waiting for Wang Yu to salute this dean with a much higher status than him, Westin Stevenson, who used spatial magic to transfer to Wang Yu, leaned down very respectfully and gave Wang Yu a very solemn salute.
"Your Excellency Wang Yu, you are the life-saving benefactor of the academy, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of the entire academy."
"Well, you're welcome, it's the Night's Blade."
I didn't expect the dean to come to thank him in person, and at the same time put his posture so low, Wang Yu didn't be too polite to the dean, but just characterized this matter as something that the Night Blade should have done.
"In any case, without the facilities of your entire academy and the members who remain in the royal city, except for some members who are specially prepared and powerful, they will all be gone, and even if these prepared members survive, the entire academy will suffer great damage."
"And at this moment, during the war, the shortage of materials and the shortage of manpower, it is basically impossible to repair the academy, and the entire academy will exist in name only for a long time."
"So, Your Excellency Wang Yu, there is no doubt that you are the lifesaver of the Academy, and the word thank you alone cannot express my full respect for you."
Dean Westin once again gave Wang Yu a sincere salute, which made Wang Yu, who had planned to go through a formulaic process of showing respect first, have nothing to do.
"As a token of my personal gratitude to you, I would like to ask you to accept this gift." As he spoke, Westin took it out of the pocket of his robe and handed a magic crystal card to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was not polite, put the magic crystal card in his hand, and after confirming the internal amount with his spiritual power, he still had to sigh Is this the world of rich people.
Five thousand gold coins, although it may not be a fraction of the value of the entire academy, but it is very outrageous to be able to take out this number casually, and the two thousand gold coins given to Avia to buy alchemy consumables have only been used for less than half so far.
"This reward is definitely not enough to express my gratitude to you for your kindness, this is just my personal gift to you, in terms of the academy, I thought about it a little, because the academy is still in a state of preparation, many things have been transferred to the front line, and they cannot be given to you."
"So, after discussing with those old guys, I plan to give you something that is still precious in the academy for the time being, as a reward for saving the academy."
"You should already know the news that the college's big library is about to close, this thing is actually not the property of the academy, but the academy is only qualified to enter, this time there are ten places left for students, in fact, the total number of places should be eleven."
"Originally, this place was intended to be for outstanding professors in the academy, but after discussion by the decision-making group, it was unanimously agreed that this quota should be reserved for you who saved the academy."
"Although this place is the same as the most special one among the ten places reserved for students, and you can take out a physical object from the big library, we still think that your friendship should be something more precious than this place, and we hope you can accept this gratitude."
"Thank you." What else can Wang Yu say, the words have come to this point, and the dean has also put his posture so low, Wang Yu can't say anything else except to accept it.
I have to say that the president of the college is very good at being a person, and Wang Yu has given the most reciprocal thanks for making such a great contribution, and these eleven places are definitely more than just a place for scholars who regard knowledge as one of the most precious things in life.
If you can give up such a place, no matter who you are, you can feel the sincerity of the academy and feel comfortable talking to them.
"I'm glad you can accept this thank you, it looks like you still have something to do, and the academy has some things to deal with, so I won't bother for now."
"After that, there is a matter about the last opening of the big library, we will send someone to inform you of the specific details as soon as possible, thank you again for your help, goodbye."
Finally, he saluted Wang Yu again, and Westin Stevenson's figure disappeared into the slight fluctuations of space.
"It's very good, the qualifications of the big library and the ability to take out a physical object, I am greedy." Wang Yu and Westin's conversation was not deliberately covered up, and Edward was also watching the whole process, and at this time he came up to congratulate Wang Yu on his harvest with a joking meaning.
"What the hell is the Great Library, Edward, you seem to know?" Wang Yu asked Edward a question, he had always wanted to know what kind of existence the big library was, and he should know it if he listened to Edward's tone.
"Huh? Wang Yu, didn't your knightly secret method be obtained from the Great Library? Edward's answer with some doubts completely solved Wang Yu's long-standing doubts.
No wonder I had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu when I heard the name of the Great Library before, the place where I obtained the secret method of the Bloody Furious Wind Knight was an extremely large and almost endless library, and that was the Great Library...
I have to say that the Bloody Fury Knight Secret Method obtained from there has been a great help to Wang Yu, this Knight Secret Method, which seemed very ordinary to the librarian named Samuel, has been of great help to Wang Yu since he learned it.
The same is true in this incident, if it weren't for the doppelganger formed by the Bloody Fury Knight's secret method under the effect of ripples, he would most likely die in the endless tide of creatures.
Moreover, this knight's secret method is also being transformed and optimized by Wang Yu in Wang Yu's long-term and non-stop operation, and changed to be closer to his body and more suitable for Wang Yu's form.
"Last time, it was limited to the knight's secret method, but Wang Yu, there should be no restriction on your entry this time, which means that if your goal is clear enough or your luck is good enough, you should be able to find something that will help you enough, this is definitely a rare opportunity."
Edward was genuinely happy for Wang Yu's harvest this time, seeing the piles of biological corpses, he couldn't imagine what kind of vicious battle Wang Yu had encountered to quell this disaster, and the lives in the academy saved by Wang Yu also made him feel sincere admiration, no matter what, these rewards were all deserved by Wang Yu.
"But I don't know what the opportunity to take out the physical object is, and there doesn't seem to be this option for the opening of the big library in the past, but since Dean Westin has said it, it's definitely a benefit." Thinking about it, Edward added something he didn't know.
"Not bad, good thing" Wang Yu smiled, this is indeed a good harvest, and then you can discuss with Avia, what kind of knowledge is more suitable for Wang Yu now, or, the way to go home? Will there be one in there...
……
"The biological corpses have basically been processed, the scavengers have arrived, the incident is now confirmed to be over, and the follow-up processing will be taken over by the scavengers and the logistics team, thank you for your contribution, Mr. Wang Yu, I salute you."
The top Nightblade technician in charge of breaking the barrier told Wang Yu of the end of the incident and expressed his respect after some time, and he felt even more respect for Wang Yu after the failure to crack it
In fact, he has done a very good job, his cracking speed is even better under pressure, and he has a specialization in the art industry, a genius like Avia, and he can't catch up with others in terms of formation.
It's just that the plan she came up with after being influenced by Wang Yu's personality was too chaotic and powerful, which avoided all the difficulties and forcibly overcame the formation.
"Then I'm evacuated, it's hard work." Wang Yu gave him a salute in return, and Wang Yu always had a good impression of the members of the Night Blade who were fighting at the forefront of the crisis.
"Goodbye, we'll take it over." Returning the salute again, the technician watched Wang Yu leave.
……
A carriage rented at random from the side of the road carried Wang Yu through the streets of the city, and in the bustling crowd, some agile and swift figures shuttled and followed the carriage pulled by an ordinary horse with no pedigree to speak of.
The speed of the carriage is not fast, it is not difficult for these good trackers to catch up, and the direction of Wang Yu's actions makes them care a lot, which is the direction of the Ryder family's industry.
This newcomer to the Night's Blade Special Operations Team has just made a remarkable contribution to one of His Royal Highnesses' most important families to do something, and although it is known that Charles Ryder is also a member of the Night Blade Special Operations Group, an ordinary visit is unlikely.
The members of the family are in the Night Blade Special Operations Group, which makes it even more likely that the Ryder family, which is itself a behemoth, will form an alliance with the Night Blade, an organization that has always been outside the major forces, which makes other forces and other families not care.
Wang Yu's sixth sense and ripples had already noticed them, but he was weak and didn't have much energy to care about them, and no matter what they thought, it was just an "ordinary" visit after all.
The carriage stopped some distance from the Ryder family's property, and the coachman, who was just an ordinary resident, did not dare to drive his car into the territory of the great nobles, paid the fare, and Wang Yu walked the rest by himself.
It's much more convenient than expected, the garrison of the Ryder family is not as strict as that of other big nobles, and the soldiers are not few, but there is no such feeling of forest, more of a prosperous temperament.
Anyway, Wang Yu, a guy who doesn't have much knowledge and experience related to rich people, can be regarded as having seen the life of a rich man in a real royal city.
The huge luxury mansion is full of family shops selling high-end goods, all kinds of man-made landscapes, and the price of even the clothes of the subordinates is probably unaffordable for ordinary residents, as long as it is the family guard, even the most ordinary guards patrolling the streets, they are all demonic armor.
Wang Yu's visit to Charles was quite simple, reporting his identity and purpose, and an old man who didn't look like a housekeeper glanced at him and asked him to go to the main mansion of the Ryder family to find Charles, and he didn't see Charles and his father.
In the big mansion, which was almost like a labyrinth, it was led by a maid for a long time, and finally reached the door of Charles's room, and by this time, it was already dark.
"Knock knock." After the maid retreated, Wang Yu knocked on the door.
"Quack—" The old wooden door, which was a little out of touch with the luxury of the house, made a soft noise and opened, revealing Charles's sneaky head.
"The professor and the captain didn't come, I'm afraid they will beat me." Charles probed his head out, carefully observing whether Wang Yu had brought Zig and Xiugein, and it seemed that he was also very weak about his loss of contact.
"Nope." Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and took something out of his pocket.
"Alright, come in." Charr confirmed that no one was following and beckoned Wang Yu to come in quickly.
"Peng!" The door was closed tightly, and looking at Charles's nervous look, Wang Yu showed a somewhat amused expression and handed the things he took out to Charles.
"What's that?" Charles looked strangely at the glass of black liquid that Wang Yu handed him.
"Look at your cowardice, Coke, something from my hometown, it's delicious, drink it and suppress it." Wang Yu said with a smile.
"Okay!" Charles didn't hesitate, and took a bite to dry.
"Poof!" After drinking the cup of black liquid in one gulp, Charles squirted out directly, and the liquid was given by Wang Yu with the invisible power of the wizard and did not spill anywhere in the air.
"What the hell, this is what people drink, vomit!" Sticking out his tongue vigorously, Charles looked pained, and it seemed that "Coke" had really made him uncomfortable.
"Hmm... I understand why Gawain was tortured by Coke, this thing is not so easy to get, and it is the first time to try to reproduce it with the Void, but this also shows that the Void can't read my memory, but can only read the description of my mental power, interesting..."Wang Yu thought in his heart, it seems that the first attempt at Coke was not very successful.
"Well, it's not Charles who uses Charles's body... Guy? Tell me about the messages you gave me. Wang Yu looked up at the somewhat surprised "Charles" and put away his smile.
The real Charles, even if he knows that Wang Yu is not interested in cheating people, he has never cheated him, and he will cheat people because of his own kind of self, so anyone can pit his inexplicable vigilance and repeatedly test Wang Yu, Wang Yu will do whatever he gives him, this force will never do it.
