Chapter 2072: Prejudice

The surroundings were still pitch black, because although the monster representing the source of the curse was defeated, it had not been completely eliminated.

Confirming that Xia De was really fine, Iluna talked about this problem, so Xia De looked at Emilia. The elf girl shrank her head and pointed at herself, nodding hesitantly. Although she had been living in the academy and protected by her family, classmates, and teachers, she was not without killing other lives with her own hands.

With Emilia's temperament of daring to disobey school rules, Xia De didn't have to worry about her being really weak.

Iluna didn't let her get close to that pure white light shadow to cast spells, but took out the pistol from the holster inside her coat, then carefully took out a bullet with runes carved on the warhead and put it into the magazine, opened the safety and handed the pistol to her:

"Use this."

The elf lady then aimed and fired. After the gunshot sounded like thunder, what was ejected from the muzzle was not a physical metal warhead, but a golden electric light. That electric light penetrated the weak pure white figure straight, and the whole dark world shattered like a mirror.

After a moment of weightlessness, the three returned to the room with tightly closed curtains. The black monster that looked like a thin monkey was still in front of them, just lying on the ground, with electric light jumping on its body.

And as that black figure turned into ashes little by little, the three breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the steam mist appearing behind Emilia and Iluna merged into one. The bell rang, the whistle blew, and the eight-ring life ring and the five-ring life ring collided and rubbed against each other because they were too close, sparking dazzling sparks, but at the same time, a new spiritual rune was added to the two high-speed rotating life rings respectively.

Emilia's is whisper-【Fear】, Iluna's is whisper-【Jealousy】. Iluna, who knew the meaning of the new spiritual rune, was obviously dissatisfied and quickly put away her life ring, not wanting Xia De to see it.

As for Xia De, he didn't get anything, just heard the voice in his ear:

【Outsider, you have touched whispers. You have gained insight into "prejudice".】

"Prejudice?"

While thinking, the pitch-black figure had completely dissipated, revealing the soul wrapped inside. The soul about to leave crawled towards the window far away from the crowd, stood up after touching the wall, and reached out to grab the curtain, but couldn't grab it.

So Iluna waved her hand, and the spell pulled the curtain open a crack. Compared to the darkness in the room, this ray of sunlight appearing from the crack in the curtain was even a bit dazzling.

And when the sunlight shone on the soul, the three heard the soul's murmur:

"I really still like light."

"If you like light, you shouldn't throw yourself into darkness."

Iluna frowned and said, it is because too many people are willing to indulge in curses and sins that her work is always so busy.

And the soul that was almost completely transparent turned around in that ray of sunlight:

"If, someone could give me a ray of light..."

The soul dissipated, leaving nothing behind. Emilia also collected her life ring in surprise, looking at Iluna who had just said the handsome words with reverence:

"Is it over?"

"If you don't count that I still have to write a report, this matter is over."

The eighteen-year-old girl said dissatisfiedly, and then asked about Xia De's situation again, worrying in her heart how to tell Luweiya about this.

In short, although there were twists and turns in the middle, this matter was considered to be successfully resolved. Xia De's injury was not heavy at all. He expected that even if he was hit head-on before the incident, it would not be a big deal.

What's more, when the three left the embassy together, Xia De looked down at his hand:

"Not a complete failure of spellcasting, I did reverse a very small amount of energy, just the quantity was too small... Star movement, time reversal..."

To express celebration, Xia De invited Iluna and Emilia to lunch at noon. During the meal, Emilia clearly felt that the hostility of the very powerful Miss Iluna Beias towards herself had disappeared, and she was quite friendly when communicating with herself. She felt that she had probably made another friend.

As for Iluna's change in attitude, it was naturally because she realized that the elf girl was as harmless as Xia De's cat.

"Speaking of which, Iluna, when Emilia and the others checked into the Three Cats Hotel on Tuesday, what were you investigating? Were you investigating relics around the Three Cats Hotel?"

During lunch, Xia De asked the question he didn't have time to ask last time, worrying that there were other dangers around the elf girl.

Iluna recalled while holding the soup spoon:

"Not a relic, the church received a report that a pharmacist selling illegal hallucinogenic drugs had checked into the Three Cats Hotel. Just a two-ring Shushi, we went to arrest him at that time. According to the regulations, this kind of person should be fined and imprisoned."

"Did you find the person in the end?"

Emilia asked curiously, not expecting that such a powerful person lived beside her. Although Xia De introduced the local black market to her, in her view, those black markets were not as interesting as the liars who sold "smart medicine", "exam passing magic", and "automatic paper writing pencils" at the back door of the tavern in the academy city.

"Didn't catch him. When we went that day, there was no one in his room, but all his luggage and property were still there. Later, we asked someone to divine, and the result showed that he was still in the Three Cats Hotel, but he just couldn't find anyone."

Iluna stirred the thick soup in front of her with a spoon in annoyance:

"But this is not a big deal. The captain said that if he still can't be found after a period of time, he will take people to search the Three Cats Hotel again. Emilia, you must be careful when living there, don't be searched by us."

Iluna left happily after lunch. Being able to meet Xia De and solve the incident and have lunch together was enough to prove that today was a lucky day... If a certain elf was not there, it would be even luckier. Of course, she had no malice towards Emilia. Before leaving, she gave Emilia a holy emblem she carried with her, telling Emilia that if she had an urgent matter and couldn't find Xia De, she could also go to the Black Stone Security Company to find her:

"I still have some face in this parish."

And to prevent Emilia from running around, Xia De personally sent her back to the entrance of the Three Cats Hotel. In fact, the elf lady didn't want to return to the "surveillance" of her teammates so quickly. In the carriage, she asked Xia De pitifully if she could continue to have such interesting adventures with him next time:

"I promise to listen to everything you say!"

She said with joy, full of expectations for this summer. After all, she had only arrived in Tobesk for two days, and interesting things had already happened.

"You should solve the task of the three of you first, and you have also seen that Tobesk is seemingly peaceful, but actually full of dangers everywhere."

Xia De exaggerated the danger of the local area:

"Maybe, there is danger in the room next to the one you live in. Although Tobesk cannot be said to be hidden with cultists everywhere, there are many relics, monsters, curses, monsters in urban legends, and criminals who like to harm beautiful elves. So you still have to stay with your teammates and don't run around."

Emilia laughed:

"Is this a story to scare children?"

After saying that, she showed a disappointed expression again:

"I know, I will follow my teammates well, you don't have to worry about me running around."

Xia De then comforted:

"After you complete the task, I will take you to a safe place in the city. Opera house, racecourse, theater in the Lower City, noble manor outside the city, and even if there is a chance, it is not impossible to take you into the Yodel Palace. Miss Jia Lin Na whom I met today, well, I won't mention her. The two princesses I met today have a good relationship with me. I see that you and Princess Ajelina are very compatible, they will agree to help."

The elf girl's eyes lit up immediately:

"Then it's a deal! I will definitely not cause trouble in Tobesk. Xia De, you don't have to worry about my safety, look at this."

Pulled out the wooden elf rune pendant on her neck:

"This is the holy relic inherited by the clan, and strange techniques like Death Finger can be completely exempted. And this."

Shook the silver-white bracelet on her wrist, the filigree craft made the leaf vein pattern on the surface very clear, Xia De even felt the familiar power:

"This is a divine magic item enshrined before the holy altar of the ancient god Tree Father, containing enough power to heal any injury. Oh, and this!"

She unbuttoned her lady's coat again, letting Xia De see the red wool vest inside:

"This was given to me by the unicorns. They heard that I was coming to Tobesk and gave me blessed hair. This sweater contains 10% unicorn hair, which was knitted by my sister."

Xia De looked at the vest in a daze, unable to calculate how much the clothes were worth, but buying No. 6 St. Deran Square should not be a problem. Seeing Xia De staring at her, the elf girl in her fifties turned red again. But because she mistakenly thought that her figure was still quite charming in Xia De's eyes, she was actually a little proud in a small corner of her heart.

Although Emilia had many protections, Xia De considered that the dangers in the city were not all related to Ringed Shushi, and Emilia's appearance might also attract unfriendly people. So after asking and learning that Emilia had no firearms, Xia De let the carriage heading north go to St. Deran Square first, took an automatic pistol he had never used, two boxes of bullets, and two steam bombs that seemed to be obtained from Lei Qianya from home, and gave them all to the elf girl.

For an underage elf, although these things looked inappropriate, considering that she was a five-ring Shushi herself, if she really made a serious move, the destruction caused would be much stronger than these ordinary people's weapons, so Xia De was very relieved. If she was really caught casting spells, it would be difficult to get her out; but if she was only caught holding a gun, Xia De had ten thousand ways to help her leave the Ridgewich Field.

"Ya, it's a steam bomb!"

Emilia exclaimed while holding the pitch-black metal:

"When I was in Landaer River Valley, I couldn't get this kind of weapon. When I was at school, the gnomes in the tavern never wanted to sell me alchemy bombs and steam bombs. Look, I finally got it!"

Xia De had already begun to regret it.

He sent Emilia, who had obtained the "new toy", to the entrance of the Three Cats Hotel, but didn't follow in to avoid suspicion, but watched her enter the hotel door.

The elf girl also kept her promise with Xia De and didn't slip out again after entering the door. She greeted her two teammates who were waiting for her in the hotel in a very good mood. Ms. Matilda Delas asked with a smile:

"Emilia, why are you so happy? Was the morning spent with Mr. Hamilton interesting?"

"Yes, very interesting!"

She said happily, and then let her companions wait in the lobby for a while, she went to the room to change clothes, and then went out with them to continue the preliminary investigation of the task.

And just before the door closed, the door of the room where the "Goodman family" lived was opened again. This time, it was Mrs. Goodman who poked her head out from the crack of the door with a smile:

"Good afternoon, would you like to come to my place for afternoon tea? I got some good tea leaves."

"No, thank you, I have things to do."

The elf girl, who was still thinking about turning around in Tobesk with Xia De after completing the task, and could brag to her classmates after returning to school... show off... could share her experiences with her classmates, decisively refused, then quickly entered her room, and locked the door from the inside with a sense of security, intending to pick a set of clothes suitable for going to the black market.

And before the door closed, Mrs. Goodman tried to reach out behind her back, and then shrank back in fear. The hair of the unicorn voluntarily given protects the pure girl, the divine magic item of the ancient god protects the descendants of the loyal group, Iluna's holy emblem emits light slightly, and the slight "cat" smell on her body makes the woman think of the group of people who appeared that night.

Mrs. Goodman still maintained a smiling expression. After Emilia's door closed, her body returned to the non-existent room like a snake returning to the grass. ===== CHAPTER 2073 =====
