Chapter Twenty-Three: The Strange Thief Gentleman
"Is it an old school building...... What's going on with this kind of script, which is like a clichΓ© plot in a clichΓ©. Heliga complained. After an afternoon of investigations and visits, as well as witnessing the appearance of the White Shadow, everyone finally targeted the old school building, which few students entered.
"Old schoolhouse...... Hearing this, Olivier didn't shout about his love and beauty nonsense, but seemed to remember something.
"What's wrong?" Naturally, this unnaturalness was also seen by Shelazadeh. She had thought that Olivier was an intelligence agent of the Empire, so she kept a close eye on his every move.
"Actually, he just remembered the past." While Olivier was wondering how to get it done, Heliga sold him out, "He claims to have graduated from Tolz, the Empire's well-known military academy, where there seem to be many legends of all kinds. β
"Military Academy?" Istelle looked puzzled and looked at Olivier closely, "Not very much." β
"Most of the aristocratic students in the school are just fulfilling the traditions of the empire and the family, after all, it is a school founded by the ancestor of the empire himself." Heiliga saw her doubts, "Most students will also work in the industry they want to do after they come out, and they don't necessarily have to join the military...... Of course, strange things like his are very rare even in Tolz, but don't be prejudiced against the prestigious schools of our empire because of this. Heliga pointed at Olivier, and at the end of the day, with a look of disdain.
"Oh, am I so unreliable and annoying in your hearts...... Woohoo...... "Olivier looked sad.
"Less garlic." Shelazad kicked him with disgust, but in this way, the round of questioning he had just made was unconsciously resolved. Sighing, Sherazadeh fought to open the door of the old school building - there was no movement, only a card slowly falling.
"Welcome to my temporary abode, uninvited visitors. If you are not afraid of the curse of the millennium, then please come to me! This first spell is the 'Flame of Nothingness' in the 'vast space'. Taking the delicately crafted card, Estelle read the message on the card. When Estelle's last note fell, the card surface burst into cyan flames, quickly turning to ashes, startling Estelle, "What is this! β
"Spontaneous combustion." Fei frowned, "Strange, I didn't smell any items that can spontaneously combust at room temperature......"
"Hmph~...... What a challenging ghost, isn't that just a puzzle for us? Olivier was aroused by this gorgeous and pretentious performance, "Come on, I, Olivier Langheim, will never lose!" β
"So don't be fighting for this kind of thing...... Astelle shrugged her face and complained helplessly, but she could only see that the others had already gone to find the 'Flame of Nothingness' mentioned in the card, so she had to make a standing version of ORZ's motion. In this regard, only her friend Kross kindly patted her on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
Although Estelle's unexpected fear of ghosts and ghosts slows down the process, the cards and clues that almost tell you where to go next are easily made it easy for everyone to break through this strange labyrinth and discover the hidden passages within. As for those occasional demonic beasts, they also turned into dazzling chips under the chaos of everyone.
When you open the huge stone statue that hides the secret passage at the end and enter the bottom of the old school building, you will be greeted by a space that is somewhat similar to the underground where the Fantasia is hidden. But it's not that huge, and there's no special flow of power. At the front of the hall, a mysterious man in a pure white cloak was standing upright with his back to the door, and he looked like a legendary "ghost" no matter how he looked at it.
"Huh...... Allow me to welcome you to my temporary abode. The man turned and bowed gracefully.
"Who?" Sherazadeh was wary of the fact that this man dressed himself up like a funny clown, but in reality there was nothing to be flawed.
"Are you the body of the 'shadow' that has caused riots all over Libel?" Clos bravely asks questions, and after the coup d'Γ©tat, her courage and calmness have improved, and she can endure the tremendous pressure of this situation.
"Exactly, Princess Colotia. It's a great honor to have your face watching! The man in front of him not only confessed, but also said something that shocked everyone present - Kloss's true identity.
"W-This guy...... How do you know the identity of Kloss!? Estelle also raised her long stick, as if she were facing a great enemy.
"Huh...... No secret can hide from these eyes of mine~. Allow me to introduce myself to you on a solemn note. The man held the wonderful short staff in one hand, and stroked the strange mask on his face with the other, "Executor NO.X 'Strange Thief Gentleman' Blublan Ferdin, a member of the 'Snake of Devouring'. β
"The name...... You're with someone with a posturing stage name...... It should be the same, right? Curious, Heliga asked, "Are you the Monster Thief B?" β
"Huh? Could it be that the boy here is my old acquaintance? Blublan looked a little surprised.
"No, no, no, no." Heiliga hurriedly denied it, "I just heard some rumors on the way around...... You seem to have made a big fuss in Baliyahat...... Many wealthy merchants and nobles have been visited by you. And I've heard that you once stole chariots from the Duke's army...... I wonder if it's true? β
"Don't you think it's a pity that a new type of tank with good performance and beautiful shape can only be crushed in the warehouse because of the stupidity of the leader and never sees the light of day?" Blublan shrugged his shoulders, and by that meant acknowledgement.
"War, how to steal the chariot......" Estelle looked incredulous, as if she had heard some ulterior secret.
"Oh? Are you the liberating thief who seeks beauty? Olivier was in high spirits, while Estelle and Sherazade were still on full alert.
"Hehe, there's no need to exude such a strong murderous aura...... I'm just doing a little experiment here, and I don't bother you in the slightest. β
"Experiments?" Sherazade's gaze fell on a device behind Thief B, "Isn't that ......"
"It seems to be bigger than the gospel...... Is it a replica? "You must be the only one involved in this experiment, right?" β
"Of course...... Are you the boy mentioned by the Sword Emperor? Bloblan looked at Hyliga in surprise and then went on to explain, "It can project my form...... That's probably how it works. The ensuing tirade was not listened to.
"Stupid prank...... Estil whispered, "now I understand...... But why would you want to do such a thing!? ...... "Snake of Eater...... What are your intentions? β
"Huh...... I can't say that. Blublan smiled mysteriously, "But I have only one personal purpose for helping with this project...... I just wanted to meet you, Princess Kolotia. β
ββ¦β¦ Huh? β
