Chapter 518 Strange Fruit
Although Qiu Tong explained to those people many times that she was a new student with great virtue and followed the principal to deal with the disaster zone. However, Cao Jinhua was dead and Ma Lu's origin was unknown.
The two of them were still detained in the security room for more than half an hour. Fortunately, the people from the Fu Master Association came half an hour later.
The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue gown, a gray tile cap, saddle-style round glasses, a goatee, and carrying a suitcase.
After seeing Ma Lu and Qiu Tong, he seemed a little surprised, but still said, "Where is your principal?"
"Principal Cao was possessed by a shadow demon in the disaster zone and has... died," Qiu Tong said.
Her voice couldn't help but choke up when she mentioned Cao Jinhua.
Although she did not get along with Cao Jinhua for a long time, the girl was deeply moved by the latter's kindness and justice, and his meticulous care and concern for his students.
Ma Lu also said at this time, "I am not a student of Principal Cao. I accidentally entered the disaster zone."
The middle-aged man with the goatee may have regarded him as an ordinary person. Hearing this, he muttered, "Are those people in charge of security in the patrol room just for a living? They can't even guard the entrance."
Then he looked at Qiu Tong again, "How did you get out of it?"
"It's Mr. Ma..."
Before Qiu Tong finished speaking, he was snatched away by Ma Lu. "It was the two of us who killed the lord inside."
"Do you still know about the lord?"
"Principal Cao probably told me." Qiutong couldn't help but said, "The monsters in the disaster zone happened to restrain Principal Cao's ability this time. He had asked for help from the outside world. According to the regulations, the people from the Talisman Master Association should have sent people into the disaster zone four hours ago..."

"Rescue? The Disaster Response Bureau has not received any relevant request for help," Goatee said decisively, "I guess Principal Cao remembered it wrong, or he burned the wrong talisman."
"Huh?" Qiu Tong felt that it was strange to burn the wrong talisman paper, but she was not a talisman master yet, and she didn't know that this kind of thing was not common.
The goatee had already stroked his beard and continued, "You have killed the lords inside, have you gained anything?"
Ma Lu showed the four green stones dropped by the black shadow Cao Jinhua. Plus a fallen leaf made of light.
The leaves are falling from the ever-changing cherry tree.
Goatee first glanced at the green stones, "According to the rules, you can keep the turquoise stones for yourselves."
After saying that, he picked up the fallen leaf made of light, "I will make a rubbing of the material and register it. I will archive it and return it to you later."
As he spoke, he opened the suitcase he carried with him, took out a thick notebook, put it on the desk, and scrawled it. tactic.
The next moment, the notebook was opened to both sides, and the pages inside turned automatically without any wind. They turned almost two-thirds of the pages before finding a blank page.
Goatee put the leaf made of light on it, then took out his pocket watch and started timing.
A quarter of an hour later, he picked up the leaves again, and on the originally blank page, the cherry tree made purely of light that Malu and Qiu Tong had seen before appeared, and there was a blur of black under the tree. film.
As for the right side of the page, a line of small ink characters appeared - Cardcaptor Sakura.
Ma Lu took the opportunity to ask, "What are these leaves and trees?"
After finishing an errand, Goatee looked in a good mood, so he explained casually.
“The so-called disaster belts are caused by these strange fruits. No one knows where they come from and why they appear in front of us. At first, because people lacked understanding of them, they called them It’s a disaster. “But in fact, according to the research conducted by the Talisman Masters Association in recent years, these strange fruits are more likely to be infected with some disease, so they came here to seek our help.
“As long as you get rid of the diseases that infest them, well, those monsters you see in the disaster zone, especially the lords, you can get their gifts.
“Usually. It is a leaf, bark, rhizome, etc., which can be used as a material for making talismans.
"If you are lucky, you can get one or two fruits, which are of extraordinary value and have many wonderful uses for Talisman Masters."
Seeing the interest on Ma Lu's face, Goatee Hu Leng He snorted, "Don't even think about the fruits. Since you have seen exotic fruit trees, you should know that they are invulnerable to water and fire.
"So every time the disease is eliminated, you can take whatever it gives you. The fruits usually only appear in at least level three disaster zones."
"That's it." Malu listened with interest.
"And if you say you are not a talisman master, you have no chance of picking up the strange fruit."
Goatee is too lazy to waste time on an ordinary person, and just says a few casual words. Looking at Qiutong aside.
It turned out that the girl was in a daze.
After killing the black shadow Principal Cao, Qiutong also saw the cherry tree and tried to pick the fruit from the tree. As Goatee said, he couldn't pick it at all.
The cherry tree doesn't look big, but its small body contains amazing power. Unless it wants to, others can't take anything away from it.
After shaking off a leaf, the cherry tree looked ready to disappear.
Unexpectedly, before leaving, he was grabbed by Malu, who had quick eyes and quick hands. Then Qiu Tong saw a knife suddenly appear in Malu's hand.
He slashed at the root of the tree with one knife, and cut off the root very easily. Then he followed the same pattern, cutting off seven more roots in one breath, and pulled the cherry tree out of the void. Come back.
Throw it into the small translucent bag he was carrying.
Qiu Tong was greatly shocked at that time, but at that time she was not fully aware of the value of this move.
It wasn't until she heard Goatee's words that she realized that Yiguo came to humans for help, and in the end even the fruit and tree were packed away by Malu.
Qiutong was still in a daze, but was awakened by a slight cough.
"Qiutong, right? I saw the results of the Talisman Master Association test you took two months ago. Your Talisman Master qualification is only Level D. I didn't expect that you could get rid of a level two disaster this time. ”
Although Malu said that the lord was eliminated by the two of them, Goatee saw that he was an ordinary person and simply ignored him.
He continued to Qiu Tong, "It stands to reason that your qualifications are not as good as those of Xia Yin, but it seems that you should be the kind of Talisman Master with excellent practical talent. I can help you recommend it. What do you think? How about it."
"Ah, but I have been accepted by Houde." Qiutong replied.
"Principal Cao is no longer here. Whether Houde can continue to run it is still open to question. And even if Houde is still there, it can't be compared to Xiayin. Although Xiayin is at the bottom of the Mingxia Group, It is also ranked among the top 100 colleges and universities listed by the Ministry of Education.
"And if you perform well in Xia Yin, you can also transfer to Qing Xia, Ranger, Ren Xia, and even Heroes and Famous Xia schools. The opportunity is rare. ”
