Chapter 16: What a mess this is unfolding
After Cheryl signed the deed, she left the Adventurers' Guild building humming a song.
"Well, then, a little bit of advice, Mr. Harry."
The male companion beside her was expressionless, the brown-haired magician Peter had met on the train.
"The task bounty is three for me and seven for you, and the materials belong to me."
"Aha, people are at a loss... But it's all up to you, it's the first time I've teamed up with a top Hogwarts student, but I want to protect my family? ”
Cheryl leaned on it, rubbing Harry's arm in her arms.
Harry frowned slightly, and withdrew his hand.
"Get ready, gather at the mission location tomorrow night, don't be late."
Cheryl was bored with herself, and secretly slandered what to pretend.
But even if the seduction failed, she still put a smile on her face:
"Why don't you go to the market together?" Buy some items against evil spirits so you don't accidentally overturn tomorrow. ”
Harry shook his head, he was ready.
"It's just a haunting ghost. Then you can cast spells, and I will protect you. ”
The two walked to the park behind the guild, and the adventurer brother in the park noticed a beautiful woman and looked up.
Cheryl showed a pair of bare white legs on a cold day, and the robe was rubbed against her buttocks, attracting the attention of a large number of old buddies, burning!
Someone was about to strike up a conversation, but after stepping forward to see the color of the pin on the neckline of Cheryl's robe, he retreated in a gray manner, not daring to take another look.
The golden sword and shield insignia are many times more gorgeous than their simple copper and iron pins.
This means that this woman is a gold-level adventurer who is rare in the whole of Arcnaiz!
Harry pinched his nose, unable to stand the smell of leaves in the park air.
"Your first visit to the Adventurers' Guild in Arknetz?"
Cheryl behaved very adaptively, and even winked at the old buddies who looked at her white legs from time to time.
"I'm afraid there is no safer and more peaceful city on the entire continent than Akneid, there are very few monsters around, and even if there are, they are weak slimes, and the dungeon has long been turned over... A veritable city of the beginning. There are not many gold-level missions hanging on the wall throughout the year, and adventurers with a little ambition will not stay here, leaving behind people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Cheryl looked at the old buddies who were gambling under the statue of the brave, and her face was disdainful.
"Every morning I go into the guild to see if there is any easy and lucrative work to do, and if not, I lie back in the park and fly leaves and brag. So don't look at a brave man, other guilds look down on the adventurers of Arknaiz. ”
Harry knew, it was a matter of insight.
There are naturally such old brothers in other urban adventurers' guilds, but there are definitely not as many as here, and they are densely lying in a park, as if they are lying on their stomachs.
Not only the park, but also the road at the entrance was full of people.
"Huh? Why is this still a child? ”
Cheryl's eyes lit up, and she walked over to the bench to take a closer look.
Although the girl was gray-faced, she could also see that the foundation was extremely beautiful, and Cheryl couldn't help but reach out and pull her eyelids.
"I don't think I will live to tomorrow... Huh? ”
Cheryl exclaimed, "What a strong affinity for the light element... It turned out to be the body of the shrine! ”
"It's still a virgin... This kind of girl church doesn't rush to ask for it, how can she sleep here? ”
Harry hesitated, her instincts telling her that the girl's origins were not simple.
"Get a pastor from the church?"
"Whatever church she looks for, she's going to die..."
Cheryl's half-narrowed eyes flashed with greed, and she reached out and pulled out an inch-long wand from her robe.
"Anyway, it's dead on the streets, so it's better to contribute to the development of magic."
She immediately recited the spell in a peculiar melody, and after a short spell cast, a crystal clear bubble condensed from the tip of the wand, growing larger and larger until the girl was enveloped in the bubble and floated.
"What do you want to do?" Harry frowned.
"If you don't want to do anything, remember to keep it a secret for me?"
Cheryl's heart blossomed, and the body of the shrine was a rarity. The complete remains of a shrine can be sold for 5,000 gold coins on the black market.
Not to mention the living, use it as a spell casting medium or refine it into a puppet, and your own magician rank may be able to break through to the opening position!
"You want to use it for live puppetry..."
In the guild's introduction, Cheryl specializes in puppet magic, and Harry sees her intentions and is immediately furious.
"Put this girl down, and our cooperation can continue."
Cheryl's eyes were cold, and with a wave of her hand, she pulled the foam around the girl behind her.
"You want to rob me?"
She raised her wand, and the magic was already lingering at the tip of it.
"Then I'd love to see just how good the legendary Hogwarts students really are."
"Aren't you afraid of the Magic Council's ethical scrutiny?"
Harry distanced himself from her a little, but didn't mean to make a move.
"She's going to die anyway, and she can sleep here, probably the daughter of a homeless adventurer who abandoned her, and if the bureaucrats of the committee have such a sense of justice, they will take care of such idle things? Don't be funny. ”
Harry was slightly stunned, it was.
“...... Whatever you want. ”
He turned around and left in the opposite direction to Cheryl.
"Our collaboration is over."
"Cut, nerd's sense of morality is disgusting."
The voice was loud enough for Harry to hear, but he didn't look back.
There were also a few old men in the park watching the excitement, and Cheryl's eyes widened, and as soon as the wand was pointed over, they scattered like birds and beasts.
A gold-level magician, you can't afford to mess with it.
Cheryl sneered, manipulated the bubbles, and left the road.
Of course, she is afraid of the ethical review of the Magic Committee, but as long as there is no evidence and the matter does not make a big fuss, she will do it again, and the so-called review will end in nothing.
So she deliberately chose an alley where no one was around, and prepared to summon a puppet in the alley to move the girl back, and then go to other places to hang around and make an alibi.
It wasn't the first time she'd done something like this, and there were two living puppets in the workshop.
She looked at the girl who was in a coma in pain in the bubbles, and she knew very well how terrifying her strength would be after this girl became a puppet.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Hey, put that girl down."
Cheryl paused, and looked up at the high wall in front of the alley.
The dark cloak was swept up by the wind against the light, and the tall figure stood on the wall, wrapped in pure black leather armor, wearing a pitch-black helmet that covered half of his face, and a pair of cat-ear-like bumps on both sides of the helmet, he pointed to the girl floating in the bubbles next to Cheryl, and his voice was hoarse and muddy:
"You're breaking the law, go, come with me and turn yourself in."
The corners of Cheryl's mouth twitched, she wouldn't be so unlucky to meet the urban legend of Arknais, right?
“...... Batman? ”
"Exactly."
The cloak spreads into batwings, and Batman dodges around the high wall and swoops down towards Cyril!
"Any evil will eventually be brought to justice!"
"."
Cheryl raised her wand alof, and the magic props she was wearing lit up one after another—
“Expecto Patronum!”
Chanting of the Spell, the half-arc of light collided with the Dark Knight descending from the sky.
