At night, outside the warehouse of the Royal Capital Magic Academy.

Adele led Fiona to her destination. After passing through a labyrinth-like garden, she came face to face with a magnificent building. Its magnificent appearance was no less than that of the teaching buildings that are regarded as the core buildings of the college. It is enough to show that

its important position.

At this time, Adele walked along a stone road towards the warehouse. When the moon peeked out from the clouds, she suddenly found several figures standing at the door of the warehouse, standing quietly like statues.

Adele vaguely remembered the girl who switched classes with her, but even so, she would not send so many people to guard her. She guessed that something was about to happen here.

Adele walked straight over and wanted to ask about the situation.

"Hello, alumnus, why are so many people coming to guard the warehouse today?"

After the moonlight fell, the man's stern profile was revealed.

"Huh? The college warehouse is a very important place. Please keep other people away." The man said coldly, with a very strong tone.

Adele still didn't understand the situation, so she explained patiently.

"It's like this. I'm Adele who usually guards the warehouse, but today I have to change shifts with a girl. May I ask..."

"Hey, Miss Adele," a girl's voice suddenly sounded behind the man, who was the person who was changing the shift today, "I forgot to tell you, today is the day of routine supervision by the dean, and the guards of various warehouses will

Strengthen, so as you can see, they are all members of the college's internal guard. As long as they are here, we will have nothing to do. Come on, I'll treat you to a cup of tea."

"Ah, I'm really sorry. I have important things to do now. Let's wait for another day." Adele smiled and waved her hand, then said, "But you mean the dean's routine supervision? I can't imagine the current dean.

Would do such a troublesome thing."

"That's true, so of course I'm talking about the former dean."

"Oh, that's pretty much it."

Adele is quite familiar with this. It is said that the former dean of the college was a very powerful person with great ability in doing things. Although she has never met him, the fact that there are still legends about him circulating in the college is the best evidence.

Moreover, most of the tutors in the college were once students of that dean. Even though he himself has abdicated, he still secretly affects the entire college. No wonder the current dean has to look at his face.

Adele has also heard about the current routine supervision, but she has just encountered it now. This was when the former dean was there, and activities to strengthen the security of the college would be carried out every three days. After all, this college preserves many

It would be bad if important items were stolen.

But no matter what, Adele had to help her friend take out the items, so she spoke respectfully to the people in the inner guard.

"Brother, my friend applied for the right to use an item in the warehouse, and even the person in charge of the college agreed, so I have to help take it out. Can you please accommodate me?"

After hearing her polite words, the man softened his tone, but clearly expressed his rejection.

"I'm really sorry. We have official duties, so it's hard for us to obey. You'd better come back tomorrow."

"Ah this..."

"Adele, yes, or forget it today." Fiona tugged at the corner of her clothes and said softly.

At this time, another member of the inner guard came over, his tone was obviously unkind.

"Hey, don't stay here, so as not to disturb our work."

"That's right, I'll go now, Adele, see you another day." The girl who switched classes with her said that and ran away quickly.

Adele looked back at Fiona, then at the warehouse, and then made up her mind.

"I'm really sorry to bother you, but if you can't trust me, brother, can you help us get it? Because that item is too important to my friend. If it is not taken out and used in time, there may be big problems, so I

I’m begging you here, please help us.”

"..."

The man stared at Adele expressionlessly, speechless for a long time.

Another person saw that he was hesitating and quickly reminded him.

"Don't be confused. What big problem can happen to these students? It's us. If something goes wrong in the warehouse, we will definitely be expelled from the college."

"Then forget it," Fiona walked up to him and said, "I don't want to hurt you either."

"But you..." Adele still wanted to fight for her.

But Fiona showed an indifferent smile.

"It really doesn't matter. Thank you for considering me. And this big brother, although you can't help me, I have received your thoughts. In order not to delay your affairs, we will leave now."

Hearing this, the man who had just persuaded his colleague breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the man's attitude changed, and he looked at Adele and Fiona seriously.

"Okay, I can help you, but you have to leave here quickly. Do you know the characteristics of that item?"

"Great, show me the drawings quickly." Adele suddenly beamed.

"Oh." Fiona quickly handed it over.

"Oh, I'm so confused!" Another guard sighed in frustration.

But the man turned back and said, "Since it doesn't matter if something goes wrong with them, then it doesn't matter if I do such a small favor, so please wait for me for two minutes and help me take care of it. I'll treat you to dinner after work."

"Oh, I'm not asking you to invite me to dinner. You... oh, you just like to be a good old man. I'm really convinced."

Adele secretly thanked the man in her heart, and then smiled at Fiona.

After a while, obviously more than two minutes, the guard next to him suddenly became impatient. He looked into the half-open warehouse door. It was dark inside, and he only saw a light source shaking slightly.

However, just a few seconds later, the light source suddenly went out.

The guard realized something was wrong and quickly called his colleague's name, but received no response.

"Tsk, you two are happy now, something must have gone wrong."

The guard glared at the two, but soon understood that it was useless to accuse them. The question now was what happened inside the warehouse.

He used his magic sense, and after learning the result, he couldn't help but show a panicked expression, because there was a being in the warehouse who was far more powerful than him.

He knew that his colleague had died here, and it was obvious that he alone would not be able to defeat the enemy in the future.

But just when he closed the door and turned around to find help, a broad-bladed sword passed through the door and penetrated his abdomen.

"Okay, what a fast knife... you two, run quickly!"

Adele was so frightened that she dared not move. Except for her mother, she had never seen anyone die in front of her, and she instantly understood that the man who helped them must also be dead.

Although she still didn't know what the enemy looked like, her survival instinct made her come to her senses immediately, took Fiona's hand and ran away.

However, Fiona broke away, her face gloomy, and she stared closely at the traces of magic coming from behind the broken door, because she knew it was her father who was coming.

"Fiona, what's wrong with you? Run quickly." Adele was confused. Although she knew that her life would be in danger if she delayed any longer, she still waited for her friend.

"Go quickly, I'm sorry, I..."

"Fiona, don't worry, we will definitely be able to escape, and you are my only friend. I will protect you even if I risk my life, so come with me quickly. You go in front, and I will help cover you from behind.

."

"..."

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me?"

"Get out of here!" Fiona suddenly roared, "Stop meddling in my business. Who do you think you are? You think of me as your friend. It's disgusting."

"..." Adele was stunned for a moment, but then he understood her intention, "I understand, you want to take the rear for me, right? Oh, there's really no need. Before the enemy comes out of the warehouse,

We can escape if we hurry up."

"Haha, escape?"

A man's voice came out from the darkness, and then his body was illuminated by the moonlight. It was none other than the Dark Knight Cornes.

"I'm really sorry. In order to prevent you from leaking information, you have to die here."

Adele noticed the details in his words. Since there were two of them here, as long as one of them escaped, they could tip off the news. But why did the enemy speak to one of the two?

She glanced at Fiona, and although she felt guilty for doubting her friend, she had to admit that this was the only possibility.

However, Fiona winked at her and signaled her to run.

Adele understood that Fiona was probably with the enemy, so she no longer worried about her safety and ran away.

Naturally, Cornes would not let her leave, and immediately swung out the broad-bladed sword, but Adele's magic was not in vain. She quickly released a large amount of smoke, trying to obscure the enemy's sight.

However, this little trick was of no use to Cornes. In front of his magic perception, Adele's position was clear at a glance.

Finally, the big sword struck Adele on the back. Because she temporarily released the magic to deflect the attack, the sword blade passed through her shoulder, but blood still flowed profusely.

"As expected of a student of Valhalla, he is indeed very talented."

Cornes sneered, and then continued to pursue. This time he changed his attack method, wrapping a layer of black mist around the blade and stabbing Adele, who had fallen to the ground.

The next second, the attack hit, but it was not Adele who let out a muffled groan.

Cornes was also surprised. He looked closely and found that Elena was blocking it with her body. Anger suddenly rose in his heart because his daughter would actually disobey him and even hurt his body for a human being.

The sword blade passed through Elena's abdomen. Because she is a demon and possesses the power of elves, her wounds are healing automatically.

However, Adele cried when she saw that she was seriously injured.

"Fiona, why are you so stupid? I don't want you to block the knife for me. I would rather die myself than see you die in front of me."
