Chapter 116 A Gentle Breeze in the Night
Chapter 116 A Gentle Breeze in the Night
Leaving the bustling hospital at night, Zhao Yu had confirmed that the woman in white was safe and was now waiting for her to recover and wake up. The sky was still dark, but Zhao Yu found it hard to sleep. Dragging her tired body, she walked into the Mage Guild, where there were still many things to deal with.
“Supervisor, I have realized my mistake. I should not have acted impulsively, and I should not have ordered the Knight Wolf to attack humans. I have harmed my partner.”
The wolf knight who had already reported to the guild took the initiative to reflect on his actions, which was undoubtedly the best outcome. Zhao Yu didn't want to get involved in anything more; everyone was exhausted.
"You should rest for now and wait for orders. I'll have the team leader handle what happens next. I'll explain your situation to him, and then we'll see how you perform."
Leaving room for each other to calm down, Zhao Yu didn't want to create any more internal conflicts. Just one otherworldly monster was already making everyone uneasy, and there was no need to create more trouble for herself.
It's tough, everyone's having a tough time. External threats are rampant and unrestrained. Monsters from another world have caused panic among the creatures of Langyezhou. Neither humans nor giant beasts can live the peaceful life they once had.
Tired, how could I not be tired? When facilities were in ruins and people were leaving in droves, when defenses desperately needed reinforcements, beasts fled in panic, and even something as simple as getting a good night's sleep became difficult to achieve.
"Are you alright, Zhaoyu?" Ajiu approached to check on Zhaoyu after hearing her voice. Zhaoyu had left in a hurry, saying she was going to do her daily patrol and leaving the guild, which made everyone who was still discussing countermeasures feel strange.
"It's alright, the outside situation has been basically resolved, and I've almost finished my own business."
The hasty farewell was to avoid distracting the warriors. Zhao Yu didn't want trivial matters to affect everyone's battle against the otherworldly monsters. Yao Hui and the others needed a quiet environment to think, and Zhao Yu was going to try to create that environment.
"Really? You look terrible. Why don't you rest first..."
"Let's not talk about that. What's the result of everyone's discussion? Do you have a way to deal with that otherworldly monster?"
Interrupting Ajiu's speech, Zhaoyu changed the subject, saying that there was no time to rest properly until the most urgent matter was resolved. As the middleman between the Mage Guild and the Wolf Knights, Zhaoyu was very clear about this point.
"Well, Luo Yi suggested searching for the residual energy of that alien and then comparing it with the body composition of the black and white beasts. If the two match, we can deduce the whereabouts of the alien or otherworldly monsters..."
Ajiu clutched her skirt with both hands, feeling uneasy as she looked at Zhaoyu's tired appearance. However, knowing Zhaoyu's personality well, Ajiu knew that telling her the truth about the breakthrough in the current situation would be more effective in relaxing her than offering a few meaningless words of comfort.
"Okay, I understand. I will send people from the Mage Guild to assist in the investigation and also keep an eye on Luo Yi. Once we find traces of the otherworldly monster, we will begin targeted magical research. As long as that otherworldly monster has a weakness, we must find it as soon as possible!"
As the sky shifted and the clouds drifted away, moonlight once again bathed the land, illuminating the rocks and vegetation while revealing the shadows of the trees, giving the darkness a place to rest.
As soon as the light appeared, the dark figure immediately fled, hiding behind rocks and trees, neither daring to face the light source nor willing to leave.
Yao Hui held the Yongyi Pure Crystal to light up the path up the mountain. Noticing something unusual around him, he walked into a big tree and brought the Yongyi Pure Crystal closer to see what was going on.
"Good evening, hero! Keeping your precious treasure so close to the darkness, be careful it doesn't get stolen by some bad guy!"
Luo rubbed fireflies together to illuminate his face and kindly reminded Yao Hui.
"What are you doing, Luo Yi? You arrived at the destination first and waited for the others. What are you trying to do hiding in the shadows?"
"I'm sorry, hero. I've gotten into the habit of observing targets from the shadows, and I can't change it anytime soon."
When faced with Yao Hui's question, Luo Yi just laughed it off. After all, that's how he always did things before, and now that he was allowed to go out and do things openly, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"What the hell! This is all so spooky! Don't mess around like this late at night!"
Being too focused on it startled Zeta. What Zeta saw in the Pure Crystal of Courage was Luo Yi's entire face illuminated by fireflies. That gloomy feeling completely refreshed Zeta's understanding of human appearance.
"I'm sorry, Lady Zeta, I'll definitely correct it!"
The sarcastic tone made Yao Hui even more unable to understand Luo Yi's thinking. Although he knew that Luo Yi was not a normal person, the way he had been coquettishly talking to Zeta just now was really unsettling.
"Get down to business, Luo Yi! Tell us the location of the supernatural being you saw today, and then we'll begin our investigation."
Seeing that the members of the Mage Guild were catching up behind him, Haruki didn't want to waste any more time. He wanted to find clues as soon as possible to figure out the identity of that otherworldly being, so that he could find the monster from another world and eliminate it completely.
“It’s right here, Mr. Haruki. At that time, that strange person was on the hilltop overlooking the city below. Then he started jumping around behind it, and finally suddenly disappeared without a trace.”
With the area clearly defined, the members of the Mage Guild quickly launched an investigation. The fluctuations left behind when controlling the black and white beasts, the magical anomalies after they were swung around, and the energy residue left after they were etherealized and left behind were all very important research materials.
Yaohui stood on a hilltop slightly below, looking into the distance. This was indeed the best spot to overlook the city. Was this an unintentional discovery by the alien, or was it her deliberate choice? Could it be that she had been monitoring the situation on the street before the black and white beasts attacked?
"There are still so many questions I don't understand. Things are more complicated than I've heard before. I really hope Sean and the captain can get some good news."
Yaohui's gaze gradually extended from the city block to the distant forest, where the black and white beasts had been wiped out. Sean and the captain should have reached there by now.
"What exactly makes up this monster? I really can't figure it out. It's completely different from Tsuchimikado."
Sean looked at the scattered black and white fragments around him that disgusted him, and then at the mages around him who were talking about these strange beast fragments with great interest. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"I remember you're from Earth Valley, right, Sean? How much do you know about Earth?" After confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, the captain approached Sean. He was more interested in Earth than magic.
“I participated in the Earth Mage selection before, but I didn’t succeed for various reasons. However, I have a friend who successfully became an Earth Mage. Over the years, he and the Earth Mage have been protecting us.”
"Is he going to handle everything alone? What if he gets injured or something? Then there won't be anyone to help him."
“I asked him that question too, but he said he was prepared to give his all. He also always said that his predecessor, the Earth Keeper, held the town alone until the end of his life. He was saved by such a hero, and now he wants to strive to become a man like him.”
Sean chuckled as he reminisced, finding amusement in the memories. The captain listened silently, unaware of this other side of Earth Control and Earth Masters.
"Isn't he stubborn? That hothead doesn't think things through at all... But he's also very naive, so naive that he cried and apologized repeatedly after making a mistake, even though he was the one who was hurt the most, he always thought about being good to others..."
"Oh dear, it's tough being a good person these days."
The bright moonlight shines, the earth is peaceful, the wind blows and rustles, playing a pure and ethereal melody in the forest; a few soft words are hummed out, stirring a resonance in people's hearts.
