Chapter 18 The National Competition, Start!
"Jialan, you are still better than I thought. I didn't expect that under such circumstances, you could even kill McCarney."
It was still on the old building opposite the St. Dawn Clinic, with thick bandages wrapped around his hands. Jialan, who was sitting quietly, heard the sound of breaking through the air and Donna's voice behind him.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
When Jialan turned around, two more slight sounds of passing through the air sounded. Minglu and Rui were there next to Donna.
"You are back too?" Jialan smiled quietly, "How is it?"
"This is indeed a carefully designed multiple conspiracy. Murray, the owner of the goblin store, and the Evil Dragon Cultivator named Pattinson, all escaped." Donna looked at Jialan and said, "But Johnny from Ironlin Academy was arrested, and several artifacts who secretly assisted the Evil Dragon Cultivator were found from McCarney. One important figure among them was Ma Tai from the Golden Lion Academy."
"Stormwalker Mata?"
Donna nodded, "A powerful magician of the same weight as McCartney, but has also been arrested. Although they were unable to capture Merck and the mastermind named Pattinson, their purpose this time should be to lure away the squad of magicians commanded by Liszt and I and assassinate some of their list. If you take Ellin and Moss out for the mission, you will become their final subject matter. But the final result is that you survived well, and McCartney, who was responsible for the final acquisition of the subject matter, was killed by you. His exposure also led to the exposure of other important people. Next, the power of the Evil Dragon Cultist around St. Lauren should be completely disintegrated, so we will still win this battle."
"When I carefully designed it for a long time, I finally picked the fruit, but even the person who picked the fruit came in. I think the one named Tias must be very frustrated." After a pause, Donna looked at Jialan and said this again.
"The reason I chose to target you in the end is that you happened to take Alin and Mos away from St. Lauren City alone. The most important thing is that Tias should also know that among us, you are the closest person to Ashu. You are the most important person to Ashu. In his opinion, it is precisely because of Ashu that his younger brother was killed by us. So you are also likely to be the first target he wants to hunt. You must not take it lightly next." Rui looked at Jialan and said seriously and slowly.
He is not good at speaking and doesn't speak much, but this time he speaks a lot.
"I will never leave St. Dawn Academy until my injury is healed. Since he has always wanted to seek revenge on us, the more I am low-key and tolerant, the more I don't give him a chance to kill me, the more he will be impatient and make mistakes, and the easier it is to pay the price." Jialan said quietly: "One day, I will kill him with my own hands."
"That guy Ailin really used the Fire Ember Technique directly?" Donna nodded, then looked at Jialan and asked in an incredible tone.
"He is the destined kaleidoscope." Jialan laughed, with indescribable confidence on her face: "And his body is stronger than the kaleidoscope of any era on the Dorast Continent."
"It's not that I'm strong enough to kill McCarney in that situation." After a slight pause, she said warmly, "It's just that I'm lucky enough to have two students who can stand in front of me like Asu. If it weren't for their restraint, I wouldn't be able to keep up with McCarney's shooting speed from the beginning."
"Integrated with Ivan, this guy Ailin has been equivalent to destroying the two assassinations of the Evil Dragon Cultist in a row." Donna couldn't help but shake her head, "The key is that this guy is never satisfied, and he has started to train hard again..."
...
After the end of the Dragon War, peace was restored throughout the Dorast continent. In the long years that followed, the magicians from various countries and the evil dragon cultists lurking in the shadows had fought countless battles of all sizes.
Fortunately, this battle in the Wind Sound Canyon ended with the victory of the Justice Artist.
St. Dawn Academy, the library, which is not yet open in the afternoon, is shrouded in the sleepy sunshine.
The moment when Liszt walked into the library gate, Professor Mei, the unstunning library administrator, appeared on the smooth stone floor of the library foyer like a precise clockwork pointer.
Professor Mei is still holding a classical book that is not closed.
The title of the book is "Research on the Bloodline of Rare Artists", and the author is Ergris, one of the legendary artists who participated in the Dragon War in the Kingdom of Dova.
"Senior, do you have any clues about Ailin's bloodline?" Liszt glanced at the books in Professor Mei's hand and asked with a polite smile."
"No." Professor Mei, who was very talkative in front of ordinary students, answered very simply and cleanly in response to Liszt.
Liszt smiled lazily, "I have something to ask Professor Mei for help."
Professor Mei looked at Liszt without much expression, "What's the matter?"
"In a few days, our St. Dawn Academy team will set off? Echimara City." Liszt looked at him very much and said, "Senior, you should also know what happened these days. Echimara has destroyed their two assassinations in a row. With Echimara performance and the usual style of the Echimara Cultists, even if they participate in this kind of competition, they are in danger. But I want to stay here for the time being to deal with some matters to prevent the Echimara Cultists from assassinating those talented young people in Jialan and Saint Lauren City, so the power to protect them will not be enough. I want to ask Senior, you follow them to Echimara City to protect them. I think the ability of the previous generation, if the Echimara Cultists really want to target Echimara and others, they will definitely die miserably."
"No problem." Professor Mei nodded and agreed very simply.
"Ah?" Liszt was a little surprised and couldn't help but touch his chin.
In my impression, this senior who loves books and lives rarely leaves this library.
Could it be that Chris is also his student?
"Just help me bring all the books on the fourth floor of the library together." Professor Mei said to Liszt.
"Ah? The entire fourth floor?" Liste was stunned.
"What?" Professor Mei frowned: "Isn't it okay?"
"Although it's a bit troublesome, moving some books and following them is not something that cannot be done." Liszt laughed dryly, "Since that's the case, I'll ask someone to prepare more luggage carts."
"Then you need to find someone who is absolutely reliable. It is best to use the docile kind of unicorn beasts that pull the cart. Otherwise, if you lose one or two books, you will know the consequences." Professor Mei said expressionlessly.
“…”
Liszt, who walked out of the library, wiped his sweat and said to himself with a bitter face: "I'm looking for you to protect Ailin, but I'm looking for someone to protect your book. Is this about protecting people or protecting books..."
...
In the secret training ground.
Ailin and Lin Luolan are chasing like usual.
But unlike in the past, the pursuit training of the two people is now carried out in the iron thorn wood forest.
This is a dangerous pursuit.
Walking through the cracks covered with spikes everywhere, if your eyes accidentally hit the spikes, it will be more than just pain.
But the two of them were not just chasing at this time, but even like the previous humanists rushing into the iron thorn wood forest outside the Elf Kingdom, fighting with the Elf Magician.
The two of them also wanted to attack each other in every way and dodge the opponent's attacks at the same time.
In this kind of mental pursuit that must always be highly concentrated and fights that are completely close to reality, the physical and mental consumption is extremely severe.
The two have been training for a long time.
When it is inevitable, both of them use the method of protecting the fragile parts of their bodies to make other parts of their bodies thorned by hardwoods.
So both of them were wearing a lot of stab wounds and scratches.
The steps of the two people looked extremely light and agile. Even in this kind of jungle, which looked like there was no road, and in the dense jungle, they were as clever as butterflies passing through the flowers.
But when each step falls, sweat will splash out from both of them.
Ailin could never really entangle Lin Luolan, and it was even more impossible to knock Lin Luolan down directly.
He was extremely tired, and even felt like he fell asleep directly in the jungle.
"It's really hard to deal with, it's really a difficult battle..."
Ailin said this in his heart, but when he thought of the battle in the Wind and the Canyon, he thought that it was because of his own battle that Teacher Jialan did not pay a serious price. A new force would surge out in his body to make him persevere.
"This is not yet reached its limit?"
"Why is this guy so much more powerful than the previous few days? If it weren't for this kind of terrain... in the giant wood forest, he would have been defeated by him long ago!"
Lin Luolan, whose breathing was as heavy as the sound of the wind sucking the bellows, gritted her teeth and refused to admit defeat.
"These two guys are almost done..."
Kate, who had been secretly staring at the two of them for a long time, let out a light breath, and several ups and downs appeared next to the iron thorn wood forest.
"Teacher Kate, why are you here?" Ailin and Lin Luolan both stopped in the iron thorn wood forest, and Ailin was the first to scream.
"I'm here to inform you that I'm going to set out to Echimara City tomorrow to prepare for the next national competition." Kate said gently.
"We're going to set out tomorrow, and the national competition is about to begin?" Ailin couldn't help but jump up.
"Ah," he screamed, and he was accidentally stabbed by the spikes beside him.
Kate nodded with a smile: "Yes, it will take a few days to leave from us to Echimala City. The next day we arrived, the group draw should be announced."
"Then..." Ailin suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Lin Luolan.
"Lin Luolan, you go together too." Before Ailing said anything, Kate looked at Lin Luolan and said seriously: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to join the academy team, but you can still help train Ailing."
"Go and go!" Ailin immediately nodded at Lin Luolan: "I heard from Teacher Jialan that there are a lot of strange magicians in the national competition. In other places, you will never see so many types of magicians in your life. It will definitely be very interesting."
"Okay." Lin Luolan hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"That's great!" Ailin jumped up happily again.
"Ah!" Another scream rang out.
