Chapter 7 The Man in Black

"You are philosophical! It seems that I have to follow my idol! Tell me why you are so awesome, so that I can learn from you." Grint's eyes shone.

Lanaya extinguished the flickering light ball in her hand, put her index finger to her lips, and put on a standard evil smile.

"It will be kept secret for now."

"Tch! I'm going to read a book. I am a woman who wants to become a top divine magician! Be ambitious!"

"Yuanda, Yuanda." Lanaya walked towards the door, "I'm going out for a walk so I won't disturb you."

"Hey, don't..." Grint realized something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking. In the middle of his words, the door had already closed with a "bang".

Lanaya discovered that the contribution points here can be exchanged for common currency, and the exchange is one-to-one. Although there is no need to exchange it inside the temple, students always have to go out, go home to see relatives, and replenish supplies outside.

such as.

It's time to make money to continue her little research.

It was already night at this time, and there were only a few people at the task release area.

Lanaya stood in the distance and scanned the information on the mission screen from left to right.

"Top 10 research-level tasks, what is this?" On the far right side of the line of sight, the first line of the light screen reads "Top 10 research-level tasks". Below is the information of the ten tasks. Different from other windows, other

There were people passing by the window, but no one stayed near the window.

Let’s go and take a look, Ranaya thought.

The receptionist sitting in the window saw a little girl coming over and joked: "Little girl, I suggest you go somewhere else. These tasks are not something you can complete." The receptionist looked at Ranaya.

Just after entering the Holy Church, all the things I learned in school are of no use. Practical combat is the only way to improve myself.

But Lanaya had no intention of walking away, and kept staring at the small screen next to the window.

"What, is there a problem?" The receptionist began to wonder if he had made a typo. After checking, he found that it was correct. So what did she look at?

What Lanaya has been looking at is the eighth task.

Other tasks are green and waiting to be picked up. The eighth item is also shown as waiting to be picked up, but it is grayed out.

The name of the eighth mission is to exterminate the deadly night shadow forces.

Lanaya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Nothing, I want to know if you can tell me what kind of place the Deadly Night Shadow Force is."

"Deadly Night Shadow Force - that's fine, no one visits my place, so I'll just spend some time with you -" The receptionist poured himself a cup of tea slowly, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and first said

He sighed: "That place destroyed a lot of our talents. They tried to steal the secrets of the Hidden Temple by robbing our students of their amethyst rings. Their targets were usually young and experienced in combat.

Inadequate people. Unfortunately, the amethyst ring can only be worn on the hand of the original owner, and there will be no response when used by others. Due to the weak power of the children, some were killed because they failed to escape, and some became their lackeys.

.”

The receptionist took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, "What a pity, what a pity."

Lanaya's expression did not change significantly, and she asked: "Then why didn't you send people to get rid of them from the beginning?"

"Who knows where their stronghold was at the beginning? They didn't notice it at that time. It wasn't until more people disappeared later that students who were familiar with the missing people began to report internally. One day a student came back with serious injuries. He said he

From the conversations of those people, I heard that the name of their organization seemed to be Deadly Night Shadow, so I fainted. When I woke up, I completely forgot the specific location. I only remembered that I sneaked out with my captured companions to get back the ring, but

In the end, his companions failed to escape in order to save him - alas, the person in charge was incompetent and just added such a task. No one knew where it was, so no one came to pick it up; those who knew it couldn't come back.

Until yesterday evening, I found that this task suddenly came to nothing, and I felt happy and worried at the same time. Of course, I was happy that these thieves were finally dead, but I was worried that I couldn't find the person who could accomplish this big thing."

This whole idiot, the great man is not even aware that he is right in front of him.

Ranaya did not feel complacent about "eliminating harm for the people", but continued to ask: "Since you don't know the specific location, then why do you know that they have been destroyed?"

"This is the credit of the amethyst ring. There is only one possibility for the mission to be extinguished, that is, someone here brings the ring and kills them all. However, no one has accepted this mission before, and the ring can only determine the result.

It doesn’t show who actually did it.”

"So - I have one more question." Lanaya removed her poker face, put her arms on the window sill, and raised a smile on her lips.

"What is the secret of the Hidden Temple?"

The receptionist was not tired of this inquiring little girl. He took a sip of tea and said: "The answer to this question may disappoint you. I also heard about the secret of the Hidden Temple from the elders here.

It has been lost for a thousand years. The rest is unknown. There are many forces who want to steal this secret, but they don't know it at all."

"Okay. Since you have worked so hard to tell me stories for so long, I will take on a mission." Lanaya was a little disappointed when she heard the answer and straightened up.

"Hey, don't risk your life if you pay the bill. Just be willing to listen." The receptionist waved his hand hurriedly. Few people who have received several years of training and practical experience here come to take over his task. In front of him,

In his opinion, this little girl was simply joking with her life.

"No." Lanaya's weird calmness was simply not what she should have at her age. "I'll take the tenth one, you are the simplest." You can easily handle the eighth one, how can you get the tenth one?

Is she going to die?

"Not even the tenth one!" The receptionist was so anxious that he almost jumped up from his seat, but then he felt that the light in front of him was suddenly blocked by a figure.

"What if I could help her?"

Ranaya heard the man's voice behind her.

After seeing who the person behind Lanaya was, the receptionist immediately smiled like a flower, "So you know her, that's easy. Come on, little girl, put the ring on!"

After completing the formalities for accepting the task, Lanaya turned around and saw a dark, dark windbreaker.

From Lanaya's point of view, the black high collar covered the tip of her nose and lips, and under her black broken hair was a pair of dark eyes.

The appearance of this person first gave Ranaya a sense of crisis. Although she immediately remembered that she had met this person a few days ago!

"I don't need your help." Ranaya didn't think too much, tried to dispel the sense of crisis in her heart, and walked towards the exit.

But her conscious reaction told her that the man had not gone far.

"Don't thank me?"

The man spoke calmly, his voice a little hoarse, but these words made Lanaya clearly feel that he did not have any hostility at all.

Lanaya turned her head and saw three steps away, dressed in black.

"Who are you?"

The man seemed to have deliberately ignored this question. His expression was a bit bitter, and he made a gesture, pointing his thumb backwards towards the place where they had just stayed, "You did it?"

Lanaya was startled and was about to speak, but the man beat her to it: "I know what you want to ask, and you don't have to know. Why don't you admit it?"

"I don't want too many people to pay attention to me." Lanaya looked at the ground and said calmly.

The man showed an imperceptible smile, walked straight out, and gradually faded out of sight.



"Lanaya, where have you been?"

As soon as Lanaya entered the door, she saw Grint standing in the open space in the middle of the dormitory, his whole body shining, just like a fake god.

"I haven't gone anywhere. I took on a mission. It's getting late today, so I didn't go out to do it."

"What's the mission? I'm here to help you -" Grint became excited as soon as he heard about the mission. He stayed in the dormitory all day reading or practicing, and he was almost going to get moldy.

"This mission is more dangerous, so you'd better not go."

"Haven't you heard the saying, challenge yourself! Let me go -"

"Someone almost lost his life picking the fruit. Hey, I don't know if I should take it with me."

"I...I promise not to hold back this time!"

"I do not believe."

"I believe!"

"Hey, if I had known better, I wouldn't have told you that I had accepted the mission."

"But you said it, you said it!"

Lanaya simply ignored Grint. She had been thinking about that set of clothes. She didn't notice the aura of Lisa or another one of her accomplices that day, and she didn't even wear this set of clothes to disguise herself as Lisa.

Being discovered, Ranaya wondered if this set of clothes could hide her identity, so she kept it. The clothes she washed yesterday should be dry by now, so she went to the drying room to collect the clothes.

By the way, there's that bag. Lanaya remembered that there was still a bag hanging on Lisa's waist, and it was lying on the corner of the table.

Although it is very unethical to go through other people's bags, people are dead, so there are so many scruples.

Now there is no blood stain on this piece of clothing, replaced by a fresh fragrance. If you look closely, it is actually quite beautiful.

Ranaya opened the bag, and the first thing she saw was a round mirror with exquisite carvings. There was a line of small words on the back of the mirror: For my beloved Lisa.——Jezela. When Ranaya saw this, her heart broke.

A corner of her body suddenly seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't help but recall the expression on Lisa's face at the last moment, and was speechless for a long time.

The mirror reflected the mark on Lanaya's face that could only belong to a person with supernatural powers.

There was no going back. Her past had been burned away by fire. She saw a sea of ​​fire, a sea of ​​fire that engulfed everything.

"Lanaya, what are you looking at?"

The image of the sea of ​​fire disappeared, and her face reappeared on the mirror.
