Chapter 50: Captured

So what exactly are you talking about? Lin Tuos face was completely dumbfounded while Lin who was standing at the side narrowed her eyes.

Can you please explain what exactly is going on?

I need to explain things? Hahaha. Ji Bai gave Lin a ruminating glance.

Does Miss Parasite still plan to play dumb? Very well let me spell it out for you. This building was attacked by demons; Trolls intruded and wrecked this building its still unclear as to how many people have lost their lives here. Ji Bai narrowed his eyes as he shifted them towards Huo Lei whose complexion was now gradually turning somewhat unsightly.

So are any of you thinking of something now?

Did you really confirm that they were truly trolls? The completely subservient Lin Tuo abruptly spoke up at this moment. The expression on his face had gradually turned solemn.

The corpses are up there. You can go up and take a look to pay your last respects if you dont believe me as he spoke Ji Bai had seemingly shot a glance at Huo Lei purposefully or incidentally.

Are you suspecting us to be the ones behind this incident? Lin looked at Ji Bai straight in the eyes as she said this.

Let me correct you a bit. Im not suspecting you rather Im 100% certain that this is the case. Ji Bais gaze pierced Lin Tuo like a razor-sharp knife.

Surprisingly Lin Tuo didnt try to explain anything. He crossed his arms around his chest and slightly knitted his brows as if he was pondering over a severe matter.

Are there any other demons around the entire border city? No! So far all of the demons I have encountered all come from your organization! Ji Bai coldly swept his eyes around the people at the scene.

Use your brain and think about it for a moment. If we truly had some other intentions why would we have chosen to strike now? Whats more why would we accept someone like you who is a member of the Chivalric Order into our organization? Lins cold eyes came into contact with Ji Bais.

In that case would you be so kind as to explain to me how these trolls made their way here? Dont try to give explanations that you dont even believe; Like saying they have brute-forced their way here!

Just when the scene had gone out of hand a ringtone that had echoed out of his bosom interrupted Lin Tuo who was deep in thought.

Hello Lan Yi? Whats wrong? Lin Tuos calm tone carried a trace of graveness in it. It was completely unlike the ingratiating demeanor he had when he first encountered Ji Bai that was as if he was submitting himself to her.

A series of unintelligible mumblings could be heard from the phone. Although Ji Bai couldnt hear the contents clearly he could still see that Lin Tuos eyes were subtly fluctuating.

Alright I understand. By the way theres no need to dispatch the rescue team. You guys can go about your business Yes Im sure Lin Tuo solemnly said this as his eyes flitted past the bodies of everyone in the scene including Ji Bai.

Alright. Thats all. Lin Tuo hung the call.

Student Ji Bai may I ask you to put the issue of whether you trust us or not to the side? I have just received news that a figurative sea of troll soldiers whose numbers exceed 5 wings have been standing outside the city wall for a long time. They have completely encircled the border city; nothing can go in or out.

What?? Ji Bais complexion darkened while the expressions of the students present had also turned somewhat unsightly. This was especially true for Lil Sha her two cat-ears were trembling like a garlic pounder.

The Asiatic cat race had an inherent incapacitating fear towards trolls.

There was no way they could be unfamiliar with what would happen if trolls that were termed as barbaric beasts were to occupy a besieged city.

Have this pack of dogs eaten a leopards guts? With the barrier to the city gates still remaining how could they Ji Bai suddenly recalled the group of trolls that retreated earlier and creased his eyebrows. He had a feeling that things werent as simple as it looked.

According to the investigation done by our hidden unit the barrier that shouldve been enclosing the city gate had stopped working two hours ago. Lin Tuos tone turned somewhat heavy.

How could that be? Ji Bais finger trembled slightly. As he fell into a trance and looked towards the direction of the city wall he thought back to the words his teacher that initiated him had said.

Is the barrier very important Mr. Teacher? Ji Bai curiously asked this question back when he was a probationary knight.

His old grey-haired teacher sighed. At the end of the day humans and demons are creatures of two different levels. The gap between them is very hard to overcome Lil Bai youre still young and theres still a very very long way before you become a silver knight. But do you know something? Only people who become silver knights are qualified to go on the battlefield. In truth its a cinch for an inferior foot soldier of the Demon Race to go against two well-trained silver knights

Now do you know what would happen if the barrier stops functioning?

As soon as the knights fail the impending result will be a one-sided massacre. When that happens blood will flow like rivers.

What about the Chivalric Order? Have they reached the castle walls? Ji Bai appeared to be somewhat flustered.

There are only a few soldiers that are patrolling the walls. Everything will be too late once they finish processing the request for troops to be dispatched here. Lin Tuo shook his head as he placed them against his hand.

How did things turn out this way Ji Bai clenched his fist tightly.

But this isnt the main point. These trolls have merely encircled the city for now and they shouldnt be able to fight their way in for a while. The important matter right now is that Keer was abducted by a bunch of trolls 10 minutes ago.

??? What did you say?!

About half an hour ago.

Are you sure youre okay going by yourself? If you have anything you need you can just tell me. Theres no need to make a trip in person.

Its fine. I already put my ears and tail away. No one will suspect me this way~ Keer rubbed the earphone she was wearing on her head as she smiled.

Alright But you still need to tell me what youre planning to do outside okay? Human society isnt as peaceful and secure as you think it is Lan Yi said in a rather helpless manner.

Uhm. It isnt anything much~ Its just that two days earlier when I was cleaning up the house I found out that Mr. Ji Bai didnt have a single winter outfit in his wardrobe~ I was thinking of buying some clothes for him since its almost mid-winter~ Keer lowered her head in a rather embarrassed manner.

Ji Bai must have done a lot of good deeds in his past life to have picked you up Lan Yi could only heave a sigh upon hearing this.

The route to the department store is already marked on the map. Do you need me to dispatch a person to lead the way?

I can find it with no problem~ Thank you Sister Lan Yi~ After she bent her body slightly forward and expressed her gratitude towards Lan Yi Keer turned her body and walked towards the doors of Hope Elementary School.

All of you. Follow behind Keer and make sure to protect her with your life. If anyone bears any malice towards her strike them down immediately. A while after Keers departure Lan Yi kept walking back and forth in a completely uneasy manner. Eventually she decided to summon a few knights from within their Chivalric Order and pass them these instructions.

Understood! The few knights who were dressed in disguise patted their shoulders with their clenched fist. After accepting their orders they walked out of the room.

Munch munch munch Sitting on the executive chair behind her was a silver-haired girl she was energetically munching away at a bag of potato chips. Her face was currently filled with enthusiasm as she watched the movie that was playing on her IP*d.

Your Excellency Chivalry Leader Can I beg you to act somewhat like a vampire? Lan Yi turned around. She was quite speechless as she looked at the silver-haired girl who was currently putting her legs on the table and sitting in an unbridled position.

Munch munch munch Hmm? QwQ? With her bulging cheeks crammed with potato chips the girl unknowingly raised her head.

Im willing to guarantee that if the vampire queen were to see you right now shed probably want nothing more than to exile you from the royal household. Lan Yi heaved a sigh.
