Chapter 69 - 66 Escape from the Monastery
Chapter 69: Chapter 66 Escape from the Monastery
At this moment, Da Fei, imposing and spirited in his captain’s attire, locked eyes with a shocked Selvia.
“Hmm, do you remember the time when your father went off to war? Do you recall the call of the ocean? Do you miss the freshness of the sea breeze? Do you long for the cries of the seagulls? In a myriad of words, just two: ‘Take your instructor and follow your brother!'”
Selvia, trembling, pulled out a vertical flute: “Is this what you brought me?”
Da Fei nodded, “Yes, do you want to see your father?” Hmm, if you think your dad is still alive, brother might as well elope with you first. Then when you ask where your father is, brother would point towards his ship—this is where your father lived and fought before his death; continue his legacy, haha! If not possible, brother could bring you to that Miracle Island and bury Uncle Juan’s remains, that’s also an option.
Selvia shook her head: “Thank you, after the kingdom announced my father’s death, I became a lifelong nun in the church, I have no ties to the secular world anymore. Moreover, the presence of this flute here means that my father is indeed dead.”
Da Fei was astonished: “The flute? How can you tell?”
Selvia sighed, “This is my father’s Blood Flute, which housed a Spiritual Eagle. Normally, the flute should be red. When my father died, the Spiritual Eagle would vanish, and the flute turned gray-white.”
Da Fei was shocked! So this treasure also had such a backstory? What use does this Spiritual Eagle have?
Selvia handed the flute back to Da Fei: “Thank you, but I no longer need this. Take it to the Elf Kingdom, they should teach you how to use it, please honor my father’s legacy and use it well.”
—Ah puff! That blonde lass even persuades brother to carry on with the legacy, do you know what your father’s legacy was?
Da Fei urgently said, “That means, you will stay here forever? End up like… like Yumina?”
Selvia nodded: “Yes.”
Are you joking? You’re just 15 years old! A wild young girl who roams by the harbor docks suddenly destined to become an old nun, aren’t you really giving up? Isn’t this some hero recruitment challenge you’re setting for brother?
Da Fei sighed: “Since you have no ties to the secular world, why did you come to see me?”
Selvia sighed: “Longing, curiosity.”
In the end, she’s still just a young girl. So that’s it! Since the relic didn’t work, time to pull out the ultimate move! Originally, brother planned to use this method on the island directly, but considering it too dangerous if exposed, always dared not use it.
Da Fei took out Uncle’s nautical diary and flipped to the page marked by a bookmark: “At this point, I can tell you, it was all a hoax! The planner of this hoax is an existence we cannot directly confront!”
Selvia exclaimed: “This is?”
Da Fei sighed, “This is a shocking secret! Should it be revealed, the consequences are inconceivable, you may keep the truth forever buried in your heart and die old in this monastery. Or you could follow me out of here and do what you ought to do, of course, this requires great courage!”
At this moment, Selvia, holding her father’s diary, trembled all over, tears uncontrollably streaming down!
There’s hope! Let brother comfort your helpless heart.
Da Fei gently embraced the petite nun, with a firm and resolute tone saying, “I am Uncle’s student, I carry on Uncle’s legacy, but my power is not yet enough to uphold justice; I need help!”
Selvia turned her head, wiped her tears and snot on Da Fei’s uniform, took a deep breath and determinedly said, “Okay, I’ll help you! We must fight for justice for my father!”
Hahaha! Success! Heroes in the diaries indeed need the diaries to be subdued!
Da Fei excitedly said, “Then, join me, be my Vice Hero!”
Selvia shook her head: “I am not yet free, I must first leave this place, do you have any way to get me out?”
Da Fei was taken aback! Free? Even recruiting heroes needs this prerequisite? It seemed so, after all, that’s how Captain Catherine was recruited after first escaping from the Desolate Islands.
So that’s it, if she could be recruited now, what would be the difficulty? Just fight our way out, even if both die in battle, the Vice Hero is still in the player’s Vice Hero space, the player simply resurrects and returns to the city to the Hero Altar for revival, just like resurrecting pets in games played before. After all, these kinds of heroes are scene-based, unlike those freely found in taverns.
But no worries, escaping or such is too easy to say, brother had already planned, on a dark murdering night with high wind perfect for arson, brother would just set a fire in this storage room.
Da Fei blurted out, “Of course, setting a fire! Escape in the chaos!”
Selvia was suddenly startled, then shook her head: “No! I can’t do that! Escaping secretly is already a big mistake, if setting a fire causes casualties, that would be an unforgivable sin, even if the kingdom doesn’t capture me, God will punish me.”
Da Fei was suddenly taken aback! Aren’t you just deliberately making things difficult for brother? With Grandmaster Stealth, I even have to struggle to make my way, how are you going to get out?
Da Fei then said, “What about having Aunt Tabia secretly pick us up with her car?”
Selvia frowned, “Hard to say, Yumina at the gate is very strong. And our class has roll calls, if I’m not there, something will definitely happen.”
Is this not just torturing brother? Da Fei then turned his attention to the Banshee by his side, this Banshee with 40 Command Value couldn’t be commanded, a true BOSS; a boss’s skills are of course valuable and worth a try.
Da Fei asked the Banshee, “Do you have any ideas?”
The Banshee tilted her head with a cold snort.
Damn it! Not taking the bait, Brother Bird! Just wait til I recruit this girl and see how I’ll deal with you!
Selvia shook his head, “It won’t work, this is a Monastery, there are too many powerful nuns. Her skills definitely can’t deceive Yumina at the gate.”
Nanny Rong again! Can we stop mentioning Nanny Rong! For a moment, Da Fei fell into deep frustration. Seems like there really is no way, huh?
Screw it, just set a fire! As long as the fire escalates things, and you make such a huge mistake, you’ll have no choice but to follow me loyally. I refuse to believe I can’t win!
Ah, but that won’t work either! Now she’s with a Banshee! Even if a fire is set, the Banshee’s conspicuous presence definitely won’t escape the discerning eyes of the old nuns! This Banshee Instructor is definitely not ordinary; why would the high-end studio put so much effort into this? If she gets killed it would be a huge loss! No matter what, I have to find a way to save this beautiful troop type!
Hmm? Bloodrose? Damn! I’ve got an idea, Bloodrose!
What’s the idea? The idea is to have others come up with ideas! Back then when I was into multi-level marketing, how did the leaders trick us?
—You think you’re not capable and can’t handle sales, no worries! Your friends, or your friends’ friends, surely some of them are capable, right? As long as we unite and struggle for a common interest…
Bullshit common interest, smart people fool the fools!
Aren’t those noble and aloof ladies from Bloodrose Studio planning to target Little Baby tomorrow? Haha, just like my thoughts, we share a common interest! Since I’m at a standstill, I’ll have to trouble you guys.
Da Fei chuckled and asked, “How are those few people doing in the Monastery?”
Selvia frowned and said, “They’ve always performed well, and are deeply trusted by the abbess, but I don’t know why they would do this tonight.”
Da Fei laughed, “They are righteous buddies indeed!” Being trusted by the abbess is great! Truly worthy of high-end studio players, good, I trust you too.
……
Shendong City Green Lake Park, the city’s gem amidst towering buildings. As night falls and the lights come on, the dazzling reflections of the colorful buildings shimmer on the lake surface, radiating an enchanting mix of wave and building silhouettes. With the festive air of the New Year, residents group together to enjoy the night scenery by Green Lake Road.
People frequent the nearby teahouses and antique bird shops along Green Lake Road, in one of the courtyards there’s a brightly lit café with full glass walls.
This is indeed the location of Bloodrose Studio, and indeed a café, though the courtyard gate is permanently closed to the public.
At the moment, in the café, Japanese-style cute maid employees are busily serving tea and dinner to the beautiful players in the second-floor server room.
In the spacious and luxurious server room upstairs, Zhou Qing, with long hair draped over her shoulders and dressed in a red tight leather jacket and skirt with warm stockings, is excitedly walking back and forth giving orders: “Little Qi, quickly check what the building requirements are for the Banshee Camp!”
“I’m still eating!”
“What do you mean still eating! That tiny egg tart can be swallowed in one bite, you haven’t pecked it clean yet? Are you a mouse?”
“Sister! Mind your ladylike image, okay?”
“Ladylike is for showing to stinky men, I’ll give you 20 seconds!”
“Little Yue, check which class this Claire is in, what she likes, what she plays, what she eats!”
