Sumeru City Baoshang Street.

"Collei, don't you really want to be my student?"

A female scholar in a bizarre plaid skirt seduced the little girl next to her,

"If you're worried about Tighnari, I can go and say it."

Collei was a little helpless,

This time I came out to help Master Tighnari buy materials,

happened to meet Faruzan seniors on the road,

just politely said hello, and then was entangled,

For this Falushan senior, Collei has some understanding,

The other party is the predecessor of the Akademiya.,The kind with a very high seniority.,

But for some reason, I have not been able to recruit satisfactory students.

After a certain meeting, she always wanted Collei to be her student.

In normal times, Collei avoids each other.

I finally had the courage to say hello today,

And it turned out to be what it is now.

"No, Faruzan sensara, I'm already fine with Master Tighnari."

Collei is really not good at rejecting others, so he can only wave his hand at Faruzan and resist the other party's solicitation.

"Oh, that kid Tighnari, it's not good at all, you better come and learn from me."

Faruzanne opened her mouth again to recruit Collet, and she really liked this girl.

Collei could only speed up his pace, silently resisting Farusanne's solicitation.

Walking,

A few children in front of me were jokingly running this way,

"Come and chase me, I'll give you toys to play with when I catch them."

"I'm coming, you can't escape."

Children laughing and running down the street,

The joy of play keeps them from paying more attention to the dangers on the road.

I didn't see a cart carrying goods waddling from a short distance.

The child does not react, but the adult already has a bad premonition,

"Don't go over, be careful."

"Be careful, come back quickly."

Seeing a few children getting closer and closer to the rickety cart,

Some of the adults who noticed that something was wrong had their throats in their hearts.

Generally speaking, the more undesirable things are, the more they will happen.

While the kids were running to the van,

They seemed to hear the call of the adults, and stopped ignorantly,

looked at the adults who shouted at them,

The next moment,

On the rickety cart, several ropes were broken, and bundles of goods fell on the child like rocks.

"Be careful!"

Collei's pupils shrank suddenly, and without thinking about it, he rushed over, hugged the frightened child, protected him underneath, and turned his back to the falling goods, ready to resist the next impact.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The imaginary impact did not come,

Collei opened his eyes slightly, looked up,

The mechanism wrapped around the wind element stopped some of the goods,

Other goods were blocked by a white-haired woman with one hand.

"It's okay, get up."

The white-haired woman is very good-looking, with a hint of blood in her black pupils,

But Collei saw a hint of kindness in it.

It seems that the other party treats her as a child.

"Thank you, thank you." Collei was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked him and stood up with the child in his arms.

"It is incumbent on you to protect the child without hesitation, you are a good child, and a good child should not be harmed." The white-haired woman listened to Collet's thanks, casually put the heavy cargo aside, and praised Collei.

On the other side,

Faruzan also ran over,

"It's all right, Collet, it really scared me." Faruzan patted her chest, looking frightened.

If Collei was really injured in front of her, then she really didn't know how to face Tighnari's junior.

"No, it's okay, Faruzan senior, thank you for your help just now."

The mechanism that resisted some of the goods just now was Faruzan's thing.

Faruzan shook her head repeatedly: "No thanks, no thanks." ”

As he spoke, he turned to look at the white-haired woman, revealing a grateful look: "Thanks to this friend, if it wasn't for her help, I wouldn't have blocked all the goods." ”

Collei nodded, comforted the child softly, and then patted the child's little head: "Go find your friends, you can't run around next time." ”

"Uh-huh, thank you, sister." The child also recovered from the fright just now, and thanked Collei very politely, "My house is behind Baoshang Street, and the next time my sister comes to my house, I will ask my mother to cook for my sister." ”

Collei smiled and touched the other party's head, then nodded: "Well, go ahead." ”

The child returned to his friends not far away.

Collei retracted his gaze and looked at the white-haired woman: "Hello, I'm Collei, the ranger of Huachengguo, thank you for making a move just now, what do you call you?" ”

The white-haired woman still had a smile on her face: "Just call me Arechino." ”

"Lady Arechino, you're not a Sumeru." Collei asked.

Arecino nodded: "Well, I lived in Fontaine for a while before, and I only came to Sumeru recently, is there any problem?" ”

"No, no problem, what are you doing here in Sumeru, if you need help, please feel free to ask." Collei blushed, and letting her communicate with strangers like this was already a lot of her courage.

On the side, Faruzan looked at Arechino and didn't speak, but there was always something inexplicably wrong in her heart.

Arechino laughed: "What a good boy, well, I came to Sumeru to find something in the Akademiya, are you from the Akademiya?" ”

Collei had a serious expression and nodded: "Well, the forest ranger also belongs to the Akademiya, and if Lady Arechino wants to find anything, I can help." ”

"Poof." Arechino couldn't help but laugh out loud and reached out and touched Collei's head, "Kid, you're so cute, you don't need to help, just take me to the Akademiya, okay?" ”

Collei was touched by her, a little shy,

But thinking that the other party was his benefactor, he still nodded vigorously: "Okay, then I'll take you to the Akademiya." ”

Then he turned to look at Farusanne: "Faruzan senior, I will take Lady Arechino to the Akademiya, do you want to go with you too?" ”

Faruzan came back to her senses, looked at Arechino, who was still smiling, and then waved her hand: "No, I have something to do, you can go by yourself." ”

Collei didn't doubt him, thinking that there was something really wrong with Farusanne: "Then goodbye, Faruzan senior." ”

Faruzan waved her hand and walked across the street.

Watching Faruzan leave, Collei turned, "Then, Lady Arechino, I'll take you to the Akademchi." ”

Arechino nodded, walking behind Collei,

There was an elusive hint in his eyes.

"It's funny, the Doctor's test specimen can be met here, but don't tell Torre about such a good boy."

With a smile on his lips, Arechino followed Collei all the way up the spiral staircase around the sacred tree.

And behind them,

Faruzan walked out of the corner, she looked at Arechino's back, her eyebrows furrowed slightly,

Although this woman had just saved Collet, Faruzan always felt that something was wrong with her.

Faruzanne was confident in her instincts, she had ventured into many ruins, and her instincts had saved her more than once.

Just now, when she calmed down and looked at Arecino, she had a panic feeling in her heart,

Like, looking at a terrifying beast.

It was as if his throat would be torn open in the next moment.

"Such a dangerous person actually wants to go to the Akademiya to find something. No, I'd better inform Alhaithham's juniors. ”

A thought flashed through her mind, and Faruzan turned and walked to the other side.

She was going the other way, ahead of Collei and the others, to the Akademiya, and informed Alhaitham of the matter.

Akademiya, Palace of Wisdom,

Alhaitham is still dealing with those official duties that can never be completed,

A panting voice came,

Alhaitham looked up,

Seeing a man who gave him a headache,

"Faruzan senior, as a senior, you should maintain your demeanor in front of your juniors. At least not so gaffes. ”

Faruzan pursed her lips: "Junior Alhaithham, although you are the acting great sage, you should also respect your seniors, but your seniors brought you news this time, not to ask you for funds." ”

Like Alhaitham had a headache for Faruzanne,

Faruzan also had a headache with Alhaithham,

This junior looked very polite on his face, and he also called his senior.

But he didn't approve the research funds applied for by his predecessors at all.

Behind the desk, Alhaithham's eyes changed slightly, a little more serious, he knew and understood this senior named Farusanne,

Although the other party is sometimes unreliable, there is no nonsense.

"Please, Faruzan senior, what news have you brought?"

Faruzan had calmed her breath and her posture became elegant,

"Hmph, this news is enough for you to approve the funds for me."

"Just now, I was begging. When I asked Collei to be my student."

[Farusanne tells Alhaitham what just happened.] 】

After listening to Faruzanne's story,

Alhaithham's face remained unchanged, but his eyes lit up, and he felt as if he had grasped the key target.

However, he didn't show it, but shook his head at Farusan: "Faruzan senior, thank you for your concern for the Akademiya, but I still have to remind you that it is not okay to force others to be students, Collei is not a child who will refuse, you can't pester her like this." ”

Faruzan raised an eyebrow, what's it?

I told you about the safety of the Akademiya, and you told me that you couldn't find Collei as a student?

Alhaitham is there something serious about you?

"Oh, I'm so angry, Alhaithham, you junior, you really don't know how to respect your predecessors at all."

Faruzan was very angry, but she exhausted her brains, and she didn't find a few dirty words in her mind, so she could only continue to scold Alhaitham as a senior.

Alhaitham didn't feel anything about Faruzanne's scolding,

There are more people in the Akademiya who scold him every day,

Falushan's scolding, which doesn't use swearing, is completely lethal.

"The senior is serious, so let's do it, I will reconsider the funding application you submitted last time, how about it?"

Alhaitham looked at Faruzan calmly.

Faruzanne's face was happy, and then she immediately returned to her senses, but the smile on her lips betrayed her.

"Hmph, it seems that Alhaithham's juniors are still very good, and the seniors are very satisfied."

"Then please go slowly, I still have official business to deal with." Alhaitham still had a calm look, "By the way, what the seniors said just now, please keep it secret, don't talk about it everywhere." ”

Faruzan glanced at Alhaithham: "Rest assured, seniors are not so talkatives. ”

With a shake of her hand, Faruzan left the Great Sage's office.

Her purpose is twofold,

Tell Alhaitham that there is danger,

Let Alhaitham give himself funding.

Now that both purposes have been accomplished, naturally there will be no more interference.

There are so many people in the Akademiya, and it is not her turn to be in danger.

After Faruzan left,

Alhaithham's calm face began to become serious,

"The dangerous person named Aricino, at this time, appeared in Sumeru, or came to the Akademiya to find something, it's really arrogant."

Alhaitham didn't even have to think twice to know that this lady named Arecino must be the Fatui.

With a cold light in his eyes,

Alhaitham got serious.

The void in his ears flashed slightly, and one after another orders were issued by him.

As for informing the little auspicious grass king and the lord of the red sand?

Alhaitham didn't feel the need.

If the gods had to come forward for everything, it would be a bit of a fuss.

Moreover, Alhaitham has been really bored lately, and he has become a little interested in this Fatui who dared to enter the Akademiya alone.

At this point in time, there are still Fatui who dare to swagger into the Akademiya,

This is not something that can be explained by the boldness.

The opponent must have a very big hole card.

On the other side,

Collei took Arecino and walked slowly down the spiral staircase,

Probably because I think Arecino is very easy to contact,

Collei also became active, introducing Arechino to the cultural landscape of the Akademiya along the way.

On the way, a group of thirty people saw two men.

After recognizing Collei, they all nodded kindly and did not ask.

Collei was a student of the Tighnari Ranger, as everyone in the Akademiya knows.

The people of Tighnari are naturally trustworthy.

So, as the Fatui executive, Arechino swaggered to the gate of the Akademiya with Collei in this way.

"Lady Arechino, the Akademiya has arrived, what are you looking for, if you know the approximate name, I can take you to the Akademwa and ask."

Collei still asked enthusiastically.

Arecino looked up at the gates of the Akademiya, where someone was watching her,

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he reached out and touched Collei's head: "You are a good boy, but on the next road, someone has already come to take me, you can go back and do your own thing." ”

Collei looked up in the direction of the Akademiya, and didn't find that anyone came to pick up Arechino, and there was some confusion in his eyes, but he didn't ask, but nodded: "Okay, Lady Arechino, when you're done, you can come to Huacheng, and I'll entertain you well." ”

Arechino smiled and nodded, and then watched Collei leave,

It was only when Collei disappeared from sight that she took a step towards the gate of the Akademiya.

At the gate of the Akademiya, the two mercenaries of the Thirty Group looked at Arechino: "This lady, this is the Akademiya, may I ask you something?" ”

Looking at the white-haired woman in a white dress in front of him, the mercenaries of the Thirty Group had a wary look in their eyes.

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of Arrecino's mouth: "Your acting skills are a bit unsightly compared to my children." ”

"Presumably, the big man of the Akademiya is watching me somewhere."

"Ignorant people always like this way of temptation, which is really ridiculous."

Between the words, a terrifying bloody aura emerged from Arechino's body, impacting the hearts of the mercenaries of the Thirty Regiment.

Ignoring the trembling bodies of the two mercenaries of the Thirty Regiment,

Arecino walked slowly past them,

The corners of the white clothes fluttered, revealing a hint of bright red.

The hands with black gloves were raised, and with a slight force, they pushed open the door of the Akademiya.

Like a normal visitor, he walked in.

When Arecino's figure disappeared,

The two mercenaries of the thirty-member regiment at the door just woke up from the overwhelming murderous aura just now,

"Terrible, who the hell is this guy?"

"Inform the Acting Grand Sage that the subject of surveillance has entered the Akademiya."

In the Akademiya,

Arechino looked at the gray-haired man in front of him, a hint of interest in his eyes.

From the other party, Arechino felt a familiar aura,

Strong, introverted, smart, confident,

This is the breath of the strong.

The smile on his face became more and more obvious, and Arecino looked at Alhaithham: "It seems . . . You're the one in charge here. ”

casually replied to the messages of the two mercenaries in the void,

Alhaithham's eyes also looked at Arechino: "The executive of the Fatui dared to come to the Akademiya alone, it seems that the failure of that doctor did not teach you any lessons. ”

"Doctor? Heh, I don't like that fellow, but if you attribute the Akademchi's defeat to the Akademiya, you probably can't afford it. Arrecchino sneered.

As a colleague of the Doctor, Arecino knows how strong the Doctor is,

To put it mildly, if there was no intervention of the gods, these people in the Akademiya would not be enough for the doctor to play alone.

As a being who wants wisdom and wisdom, and who wants strength and power,

The Wise Men are no different from God in the presence of non-divine things.

"What about you? Something gives you the confidence to come here alone after the Doctor fled in embarrassment. ”

Alhaitham was not in the least provoked by Arrecino's sarcasm,

In Alhaithham's view, it is not advisable to look down on or fear the gods too much.

The gods are a link in the biological chain, whether it is the Lord of the Red Sand or the Little Lucky Grass King, they are all part of Sumeru.

Since that doctor failed in front of the Lord of the Red Sands, it was equivalent to failing in Sumeru.

"I, as a guest, I came here without even drinking a cup of tea, and I was blocked by you at the entrance of the Akademchi, am I showing malice?"

Arechino looked at Alhaitham with a very strange look, "If I'm not mistaken, I just saved Sumeru's child in Baoshang Street not long ago, is this Sumeru's attitude towards friends?" ”

Listening to Arecino's words,

Alhaithham's face did not change in the slightest,

If this kind of rhetoric could impress him, he wouldn't be called Alhaithham.
