At the same time, in one of the cafes in Mistergang, Alice and Chris were sitting opposite each other. Although there were teas and desserts in front of them, no one moved.
All the students around were looking at the two beautiful girls with admiration in their eyes.
But the two of them were completely unaware. They just closed their eyes as if they were in a nap, without any movement.
However, after a while, Alice and Chris opened their eyes at the same time.
"It failed..."
Chris said in a low voice.
"Isn't it really that simple?"
Alice was also silent for a moment, and then put on a nonchalant expression.
If in the eyes of people who don't know Alice, Alice's behavior may really confuse others.
However, Chris is one of the few close friends of Alice, and she knows very well that although Alice seems to be indifferent at this moment, in fact, there are waves of negative emotions in her heart.
In fact, this is also true.
Originally, Alice thought that she could at least destroy the magic furnace, so she incited Real, who had the power of collapse, to go to the magic refinery to deal with extraterritorial magic.
As long as Real takes action against the extraterritorial magic, Alice will be considered successful no matter what.
After all, the extraterritorial magic power has not yet been fully formed. If we attack it now, this terrifying power will be stillborn.
For this reason, Alice made a lot of preparations, and even asked Chris, as the head of the academy, to secretly paralyze the defense system of the Wanrong Alchemy Department, allowing Real to invade the magic refinery. .
If this were not the case, although Wanrong Alchemy Branch's defense system could not stop Real, who possessed the power of collapse, it could hold him back and even set off an alarm, allowing Wanrong Alchemy Branch to react, thus holding on until Luo Zhen came back. , not difficult at all.
But now, all this has come to nothing.
"I originally wanted to bring the precious sample with the power back to my brother, but I didn't expect that he was killed all at once."
Alice spoke with a somewhat resentful expression.
"Is the mysterious swordsman who appeared in the refinery the same guard that the man mentioned before?"
Who is that person
Why is it so powerful
Even Real, who possessed the power of collapse, was killed in an instant. How come there was no such thing as a person like him before
"Don't you think you should explain it, Chrissy?"
Alice then looked at Chris, her eyes showing murderous intent that no one else noticed.
Seeing this, Chrissy understood.
Alice is doubting herself.
There is no other reason.
"As the headmaster of the academy of Mist Gang, there are people like that in this academy floating city. Don't tell me you don't know." Alice stared at Chris closely and said: " Judging from her power, if she is an enemy, she will definitely pose a threat to my brother no less than that man. If you conceal it, I can regard it as a betrayal on your part, right?"
Alice said such words to Chris, and she exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
It is conceivable that if Chris cannot give Alice a satisfactory explanation, then Alice will never let Chris go. Even if it is possible to kill her directly here, it is not impossible.
Best friend
Naturally, Alice would not care about such a person, but once it involves Jace's interests, even if the target is a close friend, Alice will not hesitate to take action.
Therefore, Chris is now in a very dangerous situation.
However, how did Alice know
"Would you believe me if I said that I had no idea that such a character existed in Mist Gang?"
Chrissy could only smile bitterly.
Because, this is a fact.
Although Chris is the Academy Director of "Mistagon" and the highest person in charge of this floating academy city, she really doesn't know about Attila's existence.
Therefore, Chris was also shocked to see Atila appear.
Especially the power shown by the other party, even Chris's heart trembled with it.
I believe that this must be the case for Alice, otherwise she would not have unleashed such murderous intent on Chris.
However, whether Alice will believe it is another matter.
"If you don't believe it, then go ahead and do it."
Chrissy could only respond like this, without any timidity or even fear on her face.
"..."
Seeing this, Alice bit her lip.
Looking at Chris's look, Alice actually already knew that this should be the truth.
That is a mysterious figure who even the headmaster of the Academy of "Mist Ridge" does not know the origin of, but he has been able to stay in "Mist Ridge" for an unknown length of time.
That's not even the most important thing.
The most important thing is that this character is obviously inextricably related to Luo Zhen, otherwise he would not appear in such a place.
How on earth did she do it
What is her relationship with that man
Why is she so strong
Who is she
Each mystery made Alice's eyebrows appear gloomy.
This girl probably didn't expect that there would be so many surprises and secrets in "Mist Ridge", right
"I'm afraid this is no longer a situation we can handle." Chris looked at Alice, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to ask Master Jace for permission first?"
Due to both emotion and reason, such information must be reported to Jace first.
"Excuse me, brother?"
Alice also hesitated immediately.
Because, just reporting it to Jace would make Alice feel a little unwilling.
This was almost like admitting to Jace that he was not capable of handling this matter.
Brother-sama entrusted him with such an important task, which was undoubtedly his trust in himself.
As a result, I couldn't handle it well. Wouldn't that be letting down my brother
Alice, who was thinking this way, completely forgot that Jace didn't ask her to deal with Luo Zhen and Atila at all, he just asked her to collect information.
For this purpose, Alice was able to learn about the existence of extraterritorial magic power, and even more about the existence of Attila, which was actually a very fruitful result.
Eagerness to show off and feelings for Jace clouded Alice's heart.
This is Alice's flaw.
At that moment, Alice wanted to say something.
at this time...
"Why bother asking for permission? If you want to know something, just tell me, right? I won't be unwilling to tell you?"
When such a voice that sounded like a smile but not a smile sounded around the two of them, at this moment, both Alice and Chris were frightened and looked shocked.
"You two are so happy. Such a big thing has happened, and you can still drink tea leisurely here."
Luo Zhen appeared next to the two of them at some unknown time. He sat in that position as if he had been there from the beginning. There were actually coffee and desserts in front of him. While enjoying them, he said in a calm tone. With words like this.
"Varied... !?"
Alice and Chris reflexively wanted to stand up.
but...
""Sit and don't move." "
With such an understatement, Alice and Chris felt invisible power penetrate into their brains, restraining their spirits, making both of them unable to move.
"you... !?"
Horror-like emotions finally appeared on the faces of Alice and Chris.
