...
An assignnt brought them closer, and also provided an opportunity to strike up a conversation.
"Titan City is a paradise, filling countless people with longing."
"Why did Wei’Er suddenly decide to transfer from a sixth-level Self-looping City to a small place like ours?"
Lu Xun handed over the finished assignnt to her, asking nonchalantly, "Can you share?"
"Titan City is not a holy land; although people’s material life there is very rich, human distractions are too many, desires too strong, when there’s no worry about food and clothing, they start to crave higher experiences, actively seeking various intense and novel ntal stimuli... Even in the sixth-level Self-looping City, many places are still filthy..."
Wei’Er corrected instinctively with erald-like big eyes, then realized, damn, this wasn’t the point!
"Ahem, it wasn’t my decision to transfer." Wei’Er cleared her throat, returned to the topic, and answered seriously, "Sorry, Lu, it’s inconvenient to say more."
"Okay."
Lu Xun nodded his head.
Transfer wasn’t voluntary? This is crucial!
"I noticed you haven’t been to school recently, what have you been busy with?" Lu Xun shrugged his shoulders, naturally asking, "Don’t worry, I’m just curious, just asking, I won’t tell anyone."
I’ve even done your assignnt, you can’t possibly deceive ?! Be honest and confess!
Wei’Er furrowed her brows and hesitated, her delicate face filled with sincerity:
"... I lost sothing very precious and have been looking for it recently."
"Found it?"
"... Not yet." She shook her head, "I called so friends to help look, still waiting for news."
"Friends?" Lu Xun smiled, "Wei’Er just arrived at Jinghai City a few days ago, already made friends? Nice! Introduce soday."
"... If there’s an opportunity... sure." She nodded.
Wuer looked to his left at Wei’Er and then to his right at Lu Xun, scratching his skull cap, sensing the atmosphere was a bit odd, but couldn’t pinpoint why.
Since when did Brother Lu beco so talkative?
When it first ca to First Middle School, Brother Lu was indifferent to it, very aloof, but now proactively engages the new student Wei’Er, asking this and that, curious...
Just because she’s a beautiful Elf, and I’m just a pile of skeleton bones?
Good grief, so that’s the kind of Brother Lu you are!
’Damn it, if you two like to chat so much, why not just sit at a table!’ Wuer thought angrily.
...
After so imperceptible interrogation and combining known information from before, it was almost confird... Wei’Er is the cloaked woman!
Her transferring to Jinghai First Middle School was a mission, to co secretly investigate the whereabouts of the batch of "Canned Elves."
And she’s not alone.
She has "friends."
Then they definitely aren’t regular friends, but personnel also investigating the case.
But what puzzled Lu Xun was, since the Elf Race had already caught a lead and tracked it to Jinghai City... why not use the embassy’s power to pressure the Human Federation’s top levels directly?
The Human Alliance Council needs only one word — investigate thoroughly!
Jinghai City would be turned upside down!
Hmm... it seems the Elf Race doesn’t trust humans that much.
Or perhaps the Elves trust the Human Race, but are also clear about the dark side of human nature.
Xu Tanqing in Zone 3 is deeply loved by the people, and everyone thinks he’s kind, upright, sunny, gentle... Heh, what is the truth? Just a beast wrapped in human skin.
This era, can you really distinguish who is good, who is bad?
If the top level throws down a sentence "Investigate thoroughly," can it really be smoothly executed, put into practice?
Not necessarily.
This case involves many major forces; it might... it’s likely it involves not just the big families of Jinghai City.
If the pressure from above is too great, they might directly destroy all the "goods," for complete cleanup.
In matters concerning the lives of their own people, Elves prefer to trust their own strength.
After discreetly saving their people, they’d then confront the Human Federation strongly, throwing the evidence straight in their face... what else could you say?
At the mont, they’re just suspicious, only found so traces, the clues aren’t clear... If they really had solid evidence, the Elf Race wouldn’t have sent Wei’Er as a foreign student.
In a sense, they’ve already given the Human Federation big face.
’Since things are as expected, let’s start the next step.’ Lu Xun thought, stroking his chin.
...
Ti flies quickly.
In an instant, it was noon, the school dismissed.
Wuer wrote the "Golden Skeleton Warrior Summoning Techniques" for the whole morning, carefully recording all his insights and thoughts on the magic into the book.
Lu Xun imdiately learned this Advanced Undead Magic after analyzing it.
It can summon ten Skeleton Warriors at once to assist in battle, all with Tier Five Advanced strength and above.
Moreover, their bones have undergone super reinforcent, extrely resilient, excellent for absorbing damage.
Inferior, low, middle-level undead magic, are of no use to Lu Xun.
But high-level magic is quite good.
After leaving school, he didn’t go ho.
Instead, he found a safe place, changed his appearance, and disguised himself.
...
Foreign students all live in the Inner City District.
Wei’Er is no exception; she lives in an apartnt near the school, very close by.
As soon as school was over, she carried her backpack and left the school, walking ho.
She wore a small amber hat to hide her pointed long elf ears, but her natural beauty standing out made it hard to keep a low profile, attracting high attention from passersby.
