Chapter 1374: Surrender
Half an hour later
Academy City inner ring area, obsidian square tower seventh floor, lounge No. 2
“Get out.”
Having changed out of the blood-stained robe, Futaba, whose wounds had been briefly treated, pushed up his glasses with his middle finger, impatiently shook his still purple right hand twice, and glared fiercely. He glanced at the middle-aged elf in dark green robes in front of him: "I don't need care and protection, so get out."
Although he didn't look very old, the elf elder who was actually over six hundred years old looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "But, Miss Futaba, you just suffered..."
"Yes, I I was just attacked, so I’m lucky to be alive.”
The girl folded her legs lazily, looked at the other person with an evil look and said, “It’s in the inner ring area, right in your school.” In front of the city's landmark [Comprehensive Library], a group of people with unknown origins have been besieged for twenty minutes. This obsidian square tower is only less than seven kilometers away. Where are you people? "
Elves? The elder's face froze, and he lowered his head in a stern voice: "This..."
"I just need to rest now, no explanation is needed, get out."
As a formal member of the Miracle City Exchange Group, Futaba, who encountered such a bad incident, is naturally qualified to be arrogant. In fact, her current attitude is considered good. At least compared to Futaba herself, she is very, very restrained.
So the middle-aged elf who was sent to deal with the situation and buy time for the high-level investigation of the Presbyterian Church said nothing more. He just turned his gaze to the man who was standing not far away at this moment, watching with his hands behind his hands. [Tuning Sage] Mel Inz outside the window.
This white-haired man who looks to be in his early twenties but is actually less than forty years old is a member of the Miracle City Council of Truth and the leader of the exchange group that went to Academy City this time. .
"Just do as she said first."
The [Tune Sage], who has shoulder-length white hair, a gentle and elegant temperament, and light cyan eyes, smiled and turned around. He nodded slightly to the elf elder and said calmly: "With me here, this child will be safe. Even if something happens, the subsequent responsibility will not be yours."
As soon as the sage spoke, the elf elder who had been sitting on wax since just now felt like he was being pardoned. He breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed to Mel: "Okay, I'll leave first. What's the matter? You can summon him at any time if necessary."
"Yes."
Meier smiled, then watched the elder and his two guards and followers walk towards the door, and when they were about to push. The moment the door left, he raised his eyebrows: "Slow down."
"Lord Mel?"
The elf elder looked back with some confusion at this man whose every move and every word was elegant. The sage asked respectfully: "Do you have any other instructions?"
"There are no instructions, I just want to remind you that what I just said was 'do as she says'."
Mel turned his head and glanced at Futaba, still with a warm spring breeze on his face Smiling, he said lightly: "If I remember correctly, what Xiao Shuangye said just now should be 'get out'?"
The face of the elf elder suddenly changed, and his expression was full of astonishment: "You... ..."
"I fully understand your unwillingness to let the Presbyterian Church lose face, so it doesn't matter."
Mel raised his hand to tidy up his long dark cyan dress. He picked up the stand-up collar of his robe, and then whistled as if on a whim.
At the same time as the whistle sounded, the door to the lounge suddenly opened as if it had been hit by some huge force. The next moment, both the elf elder and the guards around him fell to the ground in a funny posture. , and was driven out of the lounge by some force that was invisible to the naked eye.
They really 'rolled' out. According to the feedback from the mage eye released by Futaba, they rolled at least half of the corridor before they stopped with their chin in an OTZ posture in embarrassment. Got the car.
"Well, that should be enough, right?"
Mel winked at Futaba with a smile, then slowly stepped forward and closed the door to the lounge again, elegantly pulling Pulled his gloves.
“I didn’t ask you to do this, right?”
Futaba, who had never thought about telling the elder to 'get out', twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Mel with a smile on his face with empty eyes: "If he gets out, will the elders remember me?"< br>
Mel shrugged, and the original graceful and elegant temperament suddenly disappeared like an illusion, replaced by a look of cynical joy. Hand said: "I don't want to either, Xiao Futaba, you are an official member of our Miracle City delegation, so even if you don't mean that, I don't mean that either, but we still have to pay some respect to Miracle City. Just for maintenance.”
“That’s right, Sister Futaba.”
I have been sitting in the corner of the lounge since just now. Wei Lehman covered her mouth and chuckled, raised her boots and said with a smile: "But don't worry, even if those people hold grudges, they won't hold grudges against little people like us, not to mention that they were already in the wrong, for a full twenty minutes , right in the inner ring area of their Academy City, right in front of their comprehensive library, it’s very polite to just let those three people get out.”
< br>Mel Sage, who had a completely different style of painting from before, smacked his lips, landed on the sofa opposite Futaba, and said cheerfully: "I heard that you were seriously injured, Kenneth is so bratty. It’s broken, haha, if Xiao Shuangye really died there today, I think he might rush over directly to the Presbyterian Council to ask for an explanation, and ten lives are the minimum~”
"Heh...hehe..."
Futaba laughed dryly, then turned to Evie without lowering her voice and asked: "What's going on with this guy? Why was he acting like a dog just now? Yes, will you turn into a dog now?"
Ewey stuck out her tongue playfully and said leisurely. Said: "Sage Mel is more informal. In fact, the reason why he took over as [Sage of Tuning] is just because... uh..."
"Because of what?"
< br>Futaba asked lazily and raised his eyebrows: "Because the Parliament of Truth lacks someone to make fun of?"
"Because the previous generation of [Tuning Sage], that is, my father, blew himself up while doing experiments."
Mel rolled his eyes and rolled over on the sofa with an impatient look on his face. Go away, and said feebly as he rolled: "Then, the seat of [Sage of the Tuning Sage] is still fixed in the Parliament of Truth. It is different from the [Sage of the Mist Moon] that Kenneth earned by his own ability. It's hereditary in our family, so I can only sit in this unlucky position. Now, with the name of "tuning", I have to keep a straight face and pay attention to my image when I go out to show off. In other words, we can only relax when we are on our own. All of a sudden, I’m so annoyed~I’m so annoyed~I’m so annoyed~~~~~”
At the end of the sentence, this person even sang in a long note, and the singing was quite nice. It really wasn’t He bears the title of [Tune Sage].
"No, haven't you noticed..."
Seeing that the other party was so virtuous, Futaba didn't bother to use honorifics and just raised his hand to point, even though he was smiling apologetically the whole time. Frank Hughes, who did not speak but had been sitting next to him the whole time, asked: "Do we have an outsider here?"
Mel blinked, and then shook his head cheerfully: "Mr. Frank is not an outsider. Not to mention the fact that he risked his life to save you today, I know that Master Diana and he are having a heated fight. , although Kenneth has some objections to him, hasn’t the relationship between brother-in-law and brother-in-law been like this since ancient times? As long as you survive it and don’t die, then you will be a family from now on, the family of [Sage of the Mist Moon], then Isn’t he one of our own people in the City of Miracles~”
“Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Sage.”
Frank smiled respectfully at Mel and accepted what he just said. A blessing that is not as good as a blessing.
"Hmph."
Futaba crossed her arms and pouted, then pointed at the door with her little hand: "Everyone, get out."
Mel, who was leaning against the sofa, was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "Get out?"
"Yes, get out." Futaba nodded hard, unbuttoned his collar and pointed at his collarbone. bandage, then raised his left arm fixed by the earth element and shook it: "I We are the wounded now. The wounded need to have a good rest. Get out."
Mel blinked twice, then turned to look at Evie with an aggrieved face: "She hit me! "
"Uh..."
Evie, who also couldn't stand Mel's temper, laughed helplessly, then lifted up her skirt and stood up, spreading her hands and saying: "Then let's go. Anyway, you are here, so don't worry even if someone comes to attack me again, I'm here I will also help you to be vigilant.”
After saying that, she took off her blindfold and revealed the [Demon Eye of Insight] behind her. This was the first time she saw her own demon. The twin leaves of the eyes smiled.
"Okay, okay, let me go, why don't I leave..."
Mel puffed up his cheeks and stood up, sighed with a sad face, then straightened his back and quickly He switched to his previous elegant, noble, serious and intellectual style, and walked slowly towards the door with a calm fake smile on his face.
Frank also stood up and walked towards Evie who was waiting for him at the door. He turned to Futaba and told Futaba: "Then let's go to the lounge next door and wait for Diana to come back. Do you need dinner? Do you need me to help you bring it in?”
"No need."
Futaba shook his head and said lightly: "You stay."
Frank was stunned immediately and said in amazement: "Huh?"
Sage Mel immediately quit and said angrily: "Why can't he keep me and Evie?"
"Because he is also a wounded person."
Futaba glanced at Mel expressionlessly, and waved her hand impatiently: "Go ahead, remember to close the door from the outside."
Mel: "Oh..."
Then he muttering and left with Evie, and he even closed the door very obediently.
......
So, Futaba and Frank were the only two people left in the lounge.
The atmosphere was a little subtle, but not awkward. After all, they had acted together a lot during this period, and when they were reading in the library, the two of them were basically alone, but at that time they were reading separately. Everyone, they didn't communicate much with each other. Every time Frank broke the silence, he basically told Futaba to go back, and he would probably get scolded.
But this time, it was the girl who took the initiative to speak.
"Come and take a look at the night view."
After saying these words, Futaba walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lounge, overlooking the brightly lit building under his feet in ecstasy. , the lively and prosperous city, the eyes are rarely in a trance.
Frank, as usual, walked to Futaba's side calmly, but did not look at the night view outside the window, but lowered his eyes to look at the girl beside him: "Those people before..."
"Is your injury okay?"
Futaba suddenly interrupted Frank and asked lightly.
"It's just a skin injury. Didn't I say it before? Diana may have left something in me that can help her useless boyfriend cope with the difficulties."
Frank is proud. He smiled and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose: "Although I was not 100% sure at the time, it turns out that I still understand her quite well."
"Yes, You know her quite well.”
Futaba nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes and whispered, "But you don't know me well enough."
Frank scratched his cheek in confusion and looked at Futaba curiously: "For example?"
"For example, even if you don't rush out to block that blow, I won't die."
Futaba took a deep breath and fiddled with the stupid hair on the top of his head. , said in a very unhappy tone: "I was prepared. Although the situation at that time was indeed very dangerous and the threat of the epic was also great, I still had a trump card that was useless. To put it simply...if I pressed If I plan to leave, not only will I not die, but I can also restrain that person in a short period of time. Although it is only two minutes at most, it may be enough."
Frank nodded first, indicating that he was indeed. After understanding what Futaba said, he immediately wondered: "Why do you say it is enough?"
"Because that person's strength should be watered down. In my plan, just delaying it for a little longer should be enough for him to reveal his true colors. Of course, I'm not completely sure, but at least I won't die."
Futaba looked steadily at the man with a stern expression in front of him, and said angrily: "The result is that everything goes according to plan, and that man is about to confront him. When I launched the final blow, you bastard came out to cause trouble and ruined my plan!"
Frank: "This..."
"What's even more damning is, I actually want to thank you."
Futaba stood up angrily and hit Frank on the shoulder, saying angrily: "Because you did save me!"
Frank looked away awkwardly, his smile looking a little forced: "Actually, you don't need to thank me, I just..."
"You just have nothing to do with me."
Futaba Impatiently, he hammered Frank a second time and curled his lips: "Change the topic..."
"What?"
"I give up."
"Ah?"
"I said, I surrender, Tan Mo, BLACK, you won, do you understand?"
