Chapter 217 Delay
Katelila, Braeside.
Genting Library.
The principal walked slowly behind Carton, holding a yellow scroll in his hand.
"Which one do you think is more suitable for Lu Yi? Or the one I just showed you?"
Carton was busy tidying up the bookcase where the scrolls were piled, and he answered without turning his head: "Neither is good."
The principal pushed up his single-frame glasses on his nose and asked with wide eyes, "Is this true? None of them are good?"
He felt that Katon was being perfunctory, so he took a step forward and turned Katon's mechanical head 360 degrees towards him, holding up two scrolls and asked again: "Not even one?"
While two mechanical arms were still sorting books on Cotton's side, a third mechanical arm stretched out from the other side, forcibly pulled the principal away, and then straightened his head.
After straightening his head, Katon turned around and said calmly: "None of them will do. Don't worry about it. Have you forgotten who Lu Yi's godfather is? No matter who is short of skill scrolls, Lu Yi will not be short of them."
"That being said, this cannot be generalized. What Ares gave to Lu Yi was given by Ares, and what the academy gave was given by the academy. How can Lu Yi be deprived of the benefits he deserves just because he has an excellent godfather teacher—"
The principal suddenly stopped talking, frowned and asked, "Did you hear any sound just now?"
"What?"
"Something's wrong..." the principal muttered, "This feeling is so wrong."
In terms of strength in the entire Braceside, he might not even be in the top three, but if we talk about his perception and familiarity with the academy, the principal dares to say that if he ranks second, there is no first.
This strange feeling was unprecedented. Although he was in the place where he was most familiar and felt the safest, the principal felt inexplicable panic, as if something extremely terrifying and unknown was about to happen.
Seeing that his expression was not right, Carton also became serious and asked repeatedly: "What happened?"
“It’s not clear yet.”
The principal closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing every inch of Braceside under the clouds.
A senior professor sensed his consciousness and attached magic power to his perception to ask what happened.
The principal did not respond to anyone, still frowning as he searched the corners that he had not noticed.
"Not good!" The principal suddenly opened his eyes with an extremely ugly expression.
"It's a gap... a gap that connects to the abyss!"
"Let's go! At the north gate!"
…
"These humans are pretty quick."
As soon as they came out of the gap, Professor Braceside, who was on high alert, surrounded them outside the gap.
"Release the monster directly?" Arthur turned his head and asked.
Lu Yi shook his head. "Bressard is not the Orc Forest. Although the number of humans here is not as large as the number of orcs, none of them are easy to mess with."
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the school gate.
The professors of Bryside stood in a special arrangement, and there seemed to be a faint glow of magic circles under their feet.
Lu Yi tentatively threw out a harmless dark magic, which was easily bounced off by the invisible barrier.
A few days ago in the Orc Forest, the Gap landed precisely inside the Orc Forest, so the orcs could not set up a complete defense array. But now it is different to cast a wide net, and the accuracy of the Gap's landing is obviously much different.
The gap that opened up in Bryside today was awkwardly stuck at the school gate—exactly the boundary of the raised defensive magic circle. The permanent residents of Katelila outside the magic circle were also brought into Bryside College by the professor.
Lu Yi turned his head and said to Arthur: "Defense array, Lord Demon, can you solve it?"
He said it easily, certain that Arthur wouldn't be able to handle it for a while.
This is the entire defense formation of Braceside College. It embodies the hard work of countless principals and professors since the establishment of Braceside. It is no exaggeration to say that it is unmatched under the gods.
Even if Teacher Ares took action personally, it would probably take a while, not to mention this group of abyss demons who only had brute force.
Sure enough, no matter how many tricks Arthur used, the transparent barrier remained motionless. No matter what dark magic he had, no matter what sword he had, it was useless against this giant magic circle.
Arthur worked hard for most of the day, with beads of sweat on his forehead, but he could not do anything about the magic circle.
Arthur threw the Demon King's Sword aside again. He angrily shouted at the professors at the school gate: "You cowardly and incompetent humans, come out and fight me head-on if you have the guts!"
"Hiding in a hood is nothing! Cowardly! Ridiculous!"
Barz resisted the urge to cover his face and whispered, "Why don't you take a break?"
It was really shameful for a dignified Abyss Demon King to perform a one-man show in front of someone's door. Barz didn't even want to admit that he was in the same group with him.
Lu Yi also tried to suppress his laughter and said kindly: "Arthur, stop shouting. These 'cunning' humans will not respond to you."
Arthur was still unwilling to give up. He glared at the leading professors across the barrier.
He glared, and suddenly realized that perhaps he could not solve this barrier, but there must be someone in their abyss army who could solve it.
Arthur turned around suddenly and looked up at Rant in mid-air with burning eyes.
"Rant, come here!"
Rant is different from them. He is a special being who has been temporarily endowed with the power of eternal night by God.
If we have to say who can break this damn barrier, the answer must be the Dark Saint Rant!
Lu Yi, who was caught off guard and dragged into this, suddenly lost his smile and stared at Arthur and asked, "What did you say?"
"He told you to go down and solve the magic circle." Balzi, who was standing beside him, said slowly, "The stupid demon king finally got smart for once. He can't solve this difficult magic circle, and neither can I."
"But His Highness Lanter can."
Arthur frowned and yelled at them, "Hey! What are you talking about? Barz, you damn bastard, do you think I'm deaf?!"
Balz didn't even glance at the shouting Arthur, but just stared at Rand. His dull eyes seemed full of oppression.
"Are you right, His Highness Lanter, Chief Commander of the Abyss?"
Is this a hint at him?
Lu Yi calmly replied, "You don't have to be so anxious to flatter me, Lord Demon King Balzi."
"No, this is just my trust in Your Highness." Barzi said with a smile.
"Since you call yourself a subordinate, does that mean it's your turn to direct my actions?"
"Of course I don't mean that." Barz gave in, "Of course, His Highness Lanter can make a move whenever he wants. He can make a move whenever he wants."
Lu Yi chuckled and said no more.
Arthur below finally realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere and jumped up to insert himself between them.
"What's wrong? What have you been talking about for so long? I heard it all! Strictly speaking, you are all my subordinates... Lante, didn't you hear me calling you just now? Why don't you go downstairs..."
Neither Lu Yi nor Balzi spoke, and the air became silent for a moment.
"You guys are making me feel a little embarrassed. The human race is dumb, so why aren't you talking?"
Arthur looked at the silent man and demon, then at the group of humans standing still below him, and suddenly he felt a mysterious sense of responsibility.
"Talk? What are you doing? What's going on now?!"
“Tsk…”
"Okay, if you guys don't want to talk, then I won't talk either."
So the people and the demons just stood there.
No one attempted to attack, and no one spoke to break the silence.
Lu Yi began to feel uncontrollable anxiety, and the ominous feeling in his heart became more and more intense.
He originally thought that the ominous feeling in his heart was due to the attack on Braceside, but now that he was standing in front of Braceside College, the ominous feeling was not diminished at all.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
The current situation seemed to be deliberately wasting his time.
After a long period of silent confrontation, the professors of Braceside could not help showing some doubts.
"What does this mean? There is no next step. Is it to delay us?" a professor asked in a low voice.
Braceside Academy was well-informed, and they certainly knew that the Orc Forest had just been attacked the day before.
Bryside has a defensive array and is not afraid of the attack from the abyss, but the defense power of the surrounding empires is limited. Once attacked, it will inevitably ask for support from neighboring Bryside.
The demons were lingering around but weren't attacking either, so this was the only possibility they could think of.
Lu Yi, who had been quietly watching them, suddenly had a sudden breathing stagnation and a terrifying thought suddenly popped up in his mind.
Hold him back.
To hold him back!
If it weren't for holding back the professors at Bryside.
Who was that meant to hold back?
The answer is obvious.
Only he, Rant, is special; only he could possibly have two minds.
He was the only one worthy of the almighty god pretending to use his power to appease him and deliberately transferring him to other gaps.
Perhaps from the very beginning, Mios’s goal has always been the Orc Forest and has never changed!
[“857——Do you think I should thank Him for thinking so highly of me?”] Lu Yi gritted his teeth and said, [“It’s just a rand. Is it worth taking such special care in destroying the orc forest?”]
Mios actually thinks so highly of him!
857 paused for a moment, and gave an answer that it thought was more likely: [I think it is more likely that He felt that you were too cruel or couldn't bring yourself to kill Paso, so He simply didn't let you carry out this mission.]
【Perhaps in His eyes, this can be considered a thoughtful and merciful gift.】
[“Haha, I’m so flattered!”]
With a decision in mind, Lu Yi stopped wasting time and stood in front of Balzi, asking, "Did the demon kings from other territories attack the Orc Forest?"
Barz raised an eyebrow when he heard this.
"Speak!" Lu Yi grabbed his collar, "You should know that even if I kill an Abyss Demon King today, it's nothing."
Although the Demon King of the Abyss is rare, he is not as good as the only Son of Darkness.
"Don't be so impatient, Your Highness Lant, otherwise I will think that you have some shameful thoughts." Barzi slowly held his hand that was holding his collar.
Barz did not answer his question directly, or rather, his response was already a silent answer.
Without needing to confirm anything, Lu Yi suddenly let go of his hand, turned around and entered the gap without hesitation.
The gap was pitch black, and Rant's figure suddenly disappeared.
Nothing must happen——
Paso.
Little wolf.
"What is going on here? What does this academy have to do with the Orc Forest? Didn't our mission change a long time ago?"
Arthur watched Rand and Wavelin jump into the gap from front and back, frowning in surprise, but then his surprise turned into worry about Rand.
"Will Lanter be punished by the Lord if he leaves at this time? Should we go and bring him back?"
This god is not a merciful and loving god. The divine punishment Arthur received the day before showed no signs of improvement today, otherwise he would not have felt so tired that he could not even attack a barrier today.
He didn't want to see Lant also suffer that severe divine punishment.
Barz shrugged, "He was rushing to save his old lover."
"Huh? That werewolf?"
"Hmm." After roughly estimating the time, Barz shook his head slowly and said, "But it's a pity that he can't catch up..."
"It's too late."
"Let's go. Those who can break the barrier have left. There's no point in us staying here."
…
at the same time.
Paso stood in the air above the Orc Forest with blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
The sea of fire was boundless and all lives were destroyed.
All that lingered in his ears was the hideous laughter of the demons.
The three abyss demon kings looked at him leisurely, as if they were waiting for him to run out of energy so as to give him a fatal blow.
"Dream on." Paso said softly.
"Orcs..."
"Never give up—"
Even if the price is death.
The author has something to say:
My wives, Lu Yi is still in Klein Manor.
Look to the sky, this wave of vests and the real body will never see each other
