“Hm?”In Despair Forest, an elegant maid looked into the distance, as if she noticed a familiar power.
As it was too far away, she could only feel some fluctuations from the lake side and couldn"t ascertain what it was, but she hesitated and stopped walking.
“What"s wrong Elena, you aren"t thinking about your master again, are you?” Rosie noticed and immediately turned around and teased her.
“Hmph.” Elena ignored her looked at her coldly.
“Tsk, Elena, what are you acting so high and might for! You"re just a maid that was abandoned by your master!”
Rosie pouted with dissatisfaction, even though Elena"s gaze became even more cold, she didn"t retreat. However, her actions became more intimate. She hugged onto Elena"s arm and pulled her forward.
“Hmph, I"m in a good mood today, since your master doesn"t want you, I"ll take you! Elena, don"t follow Lin Xiao anymore, why don"t you become my maid after the compet.i.tion? I guarantee that I won"t abandon you like Lin Xiao!”
I"d like to ask, who doesn"t like big b.r.e.a.s.t.s? Although Elena"s personality was a bit detestable, but Rosie was still willing to take her away from Lin Xiao and give her a good training!
“I… hm? Careful!”
Elena was about to make a couple of scathing remarks to shatter her delusions, but her magic radar suddenly reacted!
There were four enemies to the rear.
“Who is it?”
With her caution, Caesar also noticed the enemies ambush, and immediately drew his sword and turned to prepare for battle.
The following scene made them speechless.
“Eh? Why is it Loran Academy again, how unlucky… wait, something"s not right, why do they only have three people? Where"s the other two?”
They heard a familiar female voice as a short-haired beauty stuck her head out of the shrubbery, then immediately pulling back in after seeing those three.
“Bamboo Academy?”
After seeing her face, Caesar immediately recognized that she was that YaoZi girl from Bamboo Academy.
“Are the other two waiting in ambush nearby? Sis, I know… they must have set a trap and were waiting fro us!”
He believed that Loran Academy were trying to appear weak to entrap them!
“Then what should we do?”
“This is the remains of the entrance shown on the map, but they blocked it… we can only go around from the back and enter through another entrance.”
“Then let"s hurry and escape!” YaoZi quickly urged.
“Escape? Peh! This is not escaping… i-it"s called taking evasive action!”
“Okay, okay, you can call it whatever you want, let"s hurry and leave… ah!”
“Hah? What are you yelling for?”
“… Wuuu, I, sprained my ankle.”
“Again? You idiot! Hurry, I"ll give you a piggyback!”
“Wuuu… little brother, you"re the best…”
Throughout that quarrel, Loran Academy just stared at them the whole time and then looked at each other at a loss.
“Strange, how were they able to get here, do they also have a map?” Rosie was puzzled.
Charles had said that there were only two maps, one with him, and the other with them, so where did Bamboo Academy get their map?
They couldn"t think of anything and didn"t mind it too much, Bamboo Academy was only a small team after all. Although that YaoZi magician was a bit strange and doesn"t appear to be an idiot unlike her appearance, they were just a team that wouldn"t be able to do much.
Loran Academy already arrived at the remnants and as long as they searched a bit they would find the silver vault!
This was an ancient building with broken stone pillars and mossy steps surrounded by huge trees and vines. It only looked like a normal earth mound from afar, if they didn"t have the map it would have taken quite a bit of effort to find this entrance.
“Okay, let"s go!”
With Caesar in the lead with the map and resonance crystal, they entered the remains.
Elena hesitated again as they entered.
For some reason, her magic perception became useless, like it was blocked by something.
What was going on?
Would someone really set up a barrier to block perception skills in a place like this?
Strange…
Elena fell silent for a moment, but seeing as to how the miss was going to say something, she obediently followed them in.
What she didn"t know was that this minor detail almost cost her her life…
…
…
On the other side, Despair Island.
A shocking scene was quietly being performed.
That was a huge monster, the height of several men, with a body full of short silky smooth black fur that made one want to grab on. Its four limbs ran speedily through the forest, its long tail swaying behind, it also seemed to have two cute triangular ears. On closer look, it looked like large cat with blood red eyes.
The even stranger thing came afterwards…
On top of that strange monster"s neck, was sitting a little girl with white robes!
“Wahhh… how refreshing!”
The black cat ran quickly, and Snow was naturally able to experience a rare roller coaster experience.
Feeling the intense air currents, Snow grabbed onto her fur as her robes billowed in the wind and she couldn"t help but cry out happily.
In the end, she was still a 11 year old girl, when would she have ridden a cat?
As expected of a high-level demon, she usually appeared to be a cute and obedient maid, but as soon as changed back, her demonic aura made one shiver in fear! But Snow didn"t mind and could enjoy her ride.
One was a Saintess from a Church, the other was a high-level demon, they should"ve been mortal enemies but instead became a mount and a master.
Fortunately, there weren"t many teams left, and the remaining teams were wandering around Despair Forest, so Elona and Snow could freely go wild.
“Hurry up Elona! Otherwise your beloved Aunt might be in trouble!”
Rather than saying she was worried about Elena, it was more like she was enjoying the ride.
Under her orders, Elona meowed and suddenly increased in speed.
She exerted more strength and she dug out a deep hole with her claws and her huge body was launched in the air landing tens of meters away shaking the entire ground.
“Ah… you stupid cat! Be more gentle, do you want to shake me off?”
Snow was startled from the impact and held tightly onto her fur, almost falling off from the intense tossing.
It was like Elona felt bad about it as she slowed down a bit and continued heading in towards the center of the island.
“Phew…”
Snow laid comfortably in her fur and found it funny.
This cat was too cute, she was bullied before but even after she transformed back and her restraints were removed, she didn"t get revenge and was still so obedient, and was even willing to let her ride her… Snow didn"t understand, was she scared of her and forgot to resist, or did she just want to save Elena and didn"t want to bother with it.
If Elona became hostile, there was nothing Snow could do, but now that she was obediently listening to her, it was naturally the best case.
Was it her usual training that worked?
Hehe, maybe all the red-eyed black cats are m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.ts and naturally like being maids and trained.
Snow deeply rejoiced in her choice.
She picked up Elona and her brother picked up Elena, the siblings really picked up some big gems!
“I dont know if brother realized it or not, but Elena should be fine if he"s there. Though if he was seduced by that vixen princess… no, Elena cant die yet! If she dies, then all my effort would be in vain!”
“Hurry up Elona, we might be the only ones who can save your Aunt! Hurry!”
“Meow!”
The huge black cat leaped up again and startled some birds within the forest.
…
…
“Are we still going forward?”
At the same time, the three people from Loran Academy arrived in the depths of the remains…
Before entering, they thought it would be easy to find, but they soon realized that the pa.s.sageways were narrow, and there were ruins and wreckage everywhere. So there were a lot of dead ends like a labyrinth.
Elena became more and more panicked as they advanced.
Her perception skill was completely useless. She was too used to constantly being aware of her surroundings so it was now like she was blinded and couldn"t feel at ease.
They followed the map turning left and right and finally pa.s.sed through the narrow pa.s.sageways and the scenery opened up in front of them!
It was a large cave covered with silver leaf fruits as far as the eye could see, it was magnificent.
A few rays of sunlight shone down through some holes in the ceiling, like light pillars, the entire cave was like a sea of silver leaf fruits with the pale yellow fruit emitting a faint light .
Was this the legendary silver vault?
“Wah! There"s so much! Now we"re definitely going to get first place!” Rosie was the first one to react and shouted excitedly.
With that many silver leaf fruits, first place was theirs!
Just as Rosie was about to run over and gather the fruits, Caesar suddenly stopped her.
“Caesar, what"s wrong?”
Rosie didn"t understand, and when she looked up, she noticed that Caesar was looking somewhere else. As she followed his line of sight, she saw someone familiar.
“Welcome.”
That bloated figure had its back against them and finally turned around after hearing the noise and greeted them.
“You"re… Archbishop Anderson? I"ve seen you before, why are you here!” Rosie saw someone familiar and wanted to go over to greet him without a care in the world but was grabbed by Caesar.
“Wait!”
Caesar held onto her arm and didn"t let her go and also looked back at Elena, he noticed a sense of unease from her eyes and forcibly pulled Rosie back next to him and prepared.
Something wasn"t quite right!
