Chapter 309 Return to Everything
Mu Hua and Eve left the police station and on their way back to the hotel, they met Vivian and Icaros who were returning from school.
Excluding the surrounding mountains and forests, Xiongzhu Town is neither big nor small. Although it originally only had three blocks apart from the main road, due to its remote location, it is still much larger than the blocks in the city.
The trouble caused by EWT and Jason in the town earlier did not affect the college. Even Vivian and Icarus did not know what happened in the town.
The town's rampage also caused some damage on the street where Jason and others were surrounded, and the impact on the town was minimal.
Not to mention that Jason only threw one explosive flame from the beginning to the end. Even if he really threw a missile into the town, if he wanted to affect half the block, he would have to use a strategic-level high-explosive missile.
The explosion of conventional thermal weapons is quite scary, but the scope of damage is not that exaggerated.
After the incident ended, the earlier incident was basically spread through videos shot by people present, and the images of the people involved, including the police, were also blurred.
Through word of mouth from some people in the town, people who didn't know the whole story half-truly knew who was involved.
Perhaps because the townspeople did this intentionally, the protagonists in the rumors about the incident were not Mu Hua and Elzhak. Instead, people discussed more about the young men on the farm and the lumberyard.
The story of a town's brave fight against a wanted criminal from the Vampire Tribe was becoming more and more magical, and when some townspeople chatted with outside adventurers, their voices seemed to be a little louder.
To be honest, to say that the townspeople were simply bragging could not be called a mere bragging. Even with weapons in hand, most adventurers would also shrink their necks when faced with exorcism bombs.
The townspeople used their actions to tell the outsiders in the town that they dared to take action against the wanted criminals of the Vampire Clan. Now that they are more arrogant, they can also restrain some adventurers with bad conduct from causing trouble in the town.
To put it simply, everyone has guns, and we dare to shoot. So what’s the problem? We need to sit down and reason. . .
On the way home, Mu Hua told Vivian and Icarus about the previous situation.
Regarding the incident of Eve stabbing the stray monster in the college, the two girls not only had no taboo, but actually got closer to Eve. Even Icarus became a little curious about the identity of Eve's "Bloody Mary".
Vivian did not become a teaching assistant. Tebitha helped her enroll as a day student in the college. She would attend classes in the Potions Department and the Mage Department. Recently, she was systematically learning some offensive undead magic.
She had a good foundation and learned magic quickly. In addition to listening to the instructor's analysis of magic formulas, she also went to the academy mainly to practice spellcasting at the black magic department's training ground.
Recently, she had become more familiar with the witch Tricia. The planned burial ground was also surrounded by Tricia's hut, waiting for Mu Hua to set up the barrier.
If the burial ground is implemented, Vivian will only go to the college's library at most.
Compared to Vivian, who is considered a "social person" by students in the black magic department, Icarus is relatively fresh in the academy.
Icarus is studying mecha control and magic weapon application. She is an absolute newbie in this area and is following the first grade to learn various theories step by step.
Moreover, Icarus is still enrolled in the regular school. Her excellent learning ability, certain experience in independent spellcasting, and unusual affinity for magic puppets make her a favorite in the eyes of her mentor.
After all, it involves practical operations, and the tuition fees for mecha control and magic weapon application are not low, but as Ikaros said, the college tutor is already helping her apply for scholarship subsidies.
Originally, Mu Hua was happy to accept Icarus's so-called scholarship subsidy, but now Tao Lesi gave him the alchemy record, and he ordered the refining materials for the youth potion from the demon merchant.
Mu Hua is ready to let Icarus give up his scholarship subsidy.
The academy has never been a charity, let alone a magic academy that is outside the federal education system to a certain extent.
Once the youth potion is finished, we won't be short of money, so there's no need to recognize that kind of favor anymore.
Never default or owe anything, refuse moral kidnapping, and be tough when speaking in the future.
If you have the conditions, donate some money to the college, get some small privileges, break some small school rules, and get along with a few young people. The people you interact with and the atmosphere among your classmates will be different. This is the right way.
Well, Mu Hua, who understands the lower class society, is such a philistine, and Loren is not in a place where he can live a better life by being shameless.
Thinking about the possibility of a newly released youth potion, Mu Hua happily arranged for Icarus's future college life.
. . . . . .
The flow of people in the town increased. As he observed along the way, Mu Hua discovered that in addition to some adventurers, there were also many street performers in the town.
A spirited young man, a decadent middle-aged man, an artist who seems to despise everything, a heavy metal hip-hop, and various street performers gathered in the town, including the surrounding development zones.
When the courtyard was sealed off and the star patrol meeting had not yet begun, it seemed that there were more street performers than adventurers coming to the town.
Mu Hua also curiously asked a few people about this. These street performers seemed to have little to do with the strategy team. As for the reason why they came here, it was quite easy to understand.
Due to the development of the courtyard, Bear Pig Town will inevitably see a large number of adventurers coming in and out in the future.
And those adventurers who spend their days fighting monsters between life and death must have a much more "generous" attitude towards spending money than the settlers.
When it comes to art, don’t talk about art if you’re short of money. For art, if you’re short of money, all you have to do is devote yourself to it.
Compared with the 100-credit reward from settlers when they pass by, the magic silver, mithril, and even demon gold coins thrown out by adventurers, aren't they delicious?
If you can play art, whoever wants to ride a horse has to sacrifice his life.
Therefore, it does not seem unreasonable that some street performers would gather in places where adventurers gather.
Back at the hotel, Tabitha had already started to prepare a banquet to welcome Tina and Barbara.
A meal was provided for the support staff at the training ground. In the suite on the third floor of the hotel, only Clark and Eve attended the banquet.
Tina quickly got into the role, treating herself as Mu Hua's waiter, and getting along with everyone very naturally and cordially.
But Barbara, who was originally more cheerful and free-spirited, was rather indifferent to everyone, and could even be said to be indifferent. Even Icaros, who looked cute and harmless, received a look from her.
Compared with Barbara earlier, the emotional difference seemed a bit big. Mu Hua even felt that this girl had a dual personality.
And it wasn't until Tina reminded her secretly that Mu Hua figured out the reason.
But Barbara is good at refining monster essence and blood, but this kind of thing is not only valuable, but also in demand by everyone.
Perhaps Barbara also experienced some bad things in her early years due to the demands of her friends, so Barbara was more taboo about establishing too close relationships with others.
The people in the suite are all scheduled main battle members of Tebitha's team. Unlike outsiders, Barbara will never be able to avoid getting along with these people in the future.
In order to avoid being dirty in the future due to the monster's essence and blood, and to avoid embarrassment to Tabitha, Barbara simply assumed a cold and inhumane attitude.
Mu Hua couldn't tell whether he was right or wrong about this. If he could make a youth potion, he would unconsciously keep a distance from some women, right?
The smiles of the girls are still very pleasant, but if millions of demon gold coins were lost because of a smile, Mu Hua would probably cover himself in the quilt and slap his face. . .
Barbara tried her best to downplay her presence in the crowd. With Tabitha's deliberate mediation, Vivian and others only thought that this was her temperament.
When the banquet was over, Mu Hua handed over a key to the Island of the Abyss to Tebitha, which Mu Hua had made earlier using the transboundary stone collected by Barbara.
Clark and Eve's magic power is not adaptable enough, and Mu Hua knows too little about them for the time being, and does not intend to let them come into contact with the Island of the Abyss.
After simply washing up and tidying up, Clark and Eve went back to their rooms.
Under night, Tebitha opened the portal, and Vivian, Tina, Barbara, and Icaros followed Mu Hua into the Island of the Abyss. (End of chapter)
