Chapter 30 [Black Flag]
Chapter 30 [Black Flag]
Seeing that Ma Liang had already said it, Principal Xie had no choice but to turn around and look at Russell and the others: "The bronze-level secret realm that is still being explored is still very dangerous. You should think about it carefully."
Russell was silent for a while before he said, "Thank you, Principal. I'm still going to go."
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. If things go on like this, when will he be able to gain the strength to protect himself from the Qiling Society?
Besides, the association would definitely not let them go in alone. There should be a bronze-level card maker leading the team.
Seeing that Russell and the others had already made a decision, Principal Xie naturally could not interfere anymore. He couldn't help but smile: "You performed well. When you return to school, the school will also reward you."
That’s right, the association has its own awards, and the school naturally has its own awards.
Principal Xie would naturally not be stingy with such little material.
However, Shanghai No. 1 Middle School cannot provide high-quality bronze-level materials. The most it can reward is some cash or black iron-level materials.
Upon hearing this, Russell and the other two said in unison: "Thank you, Principal!"
"Haha, good kids." Principal Xie was even happier. The performance of the three people today, especially Russell's performance, made him feel very proud. "Come on, the principal will treat you to a good celebration at the Shanghai Ping An Hotel today."
Late at night, Russell rode Pidgeot back home.
Just now at the Ping An Hotel in Shanghai, Principal Xie drank so much that his face turned red. He was in a completely unconscious state, and kept muttering something like "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't look down on the old and poor." Russell and the other two were stunned.
Fortunately, the other three principals and Ma Liang didn't drink much, so they worked together to carry him away.
After seeing off Principal Xie and his companions, Russell and the other two went home.
After opening the door, Russell collapsed on the sofa. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous during his first competition, but fortunately he won in the end.
Unlike other people, he doesn't have parents to rely on. In this world, he can only rely on himself.
In his confused thoughts, Russell gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Yoriichi Tsugikoku and Kaneki beside him looked at each other, turned off the lights in the room, and stood guard by his side.
They could all see that their holders were extremely tired. Ever since they were created, they could sense that Russell had been on edge.
Fortunately, the string was loosened a little today, otherwise they would really be afraid that it would break one day.
However, what Russell didn't know was that after he returned home, someone in the house next to him had been keeping a close eye on him.
This person is naturally Brother Hu.
Seeing that there was no movement in Russell's room, Brother Hu also pulled the curtains and sat in the boss's chair with a gloomy face.
These days, Brother Hu observes Russell almost every day.
But he found nothing, Russell behaved as if he was a truly ordinary student.
But Brother Hu doesn’t think so. In his opinion, the absence of abnormalities is the biggest abnormality!
"But it's not a good time to take action recently." Thinking of the tasks arranged by the Qiling Society, Brother Hu couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
In the end, Brother Hu decided to sit back and wait and see what Russell was up to.
"Hmm~"
The next morning, Russell couldn't help but stretch. He hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time.
Suddenly, he stood there in a daze.
Without meditation last night, his threshold to bronze level was shaky.
But it’s a good thing anyway, and Russell didn’t dwell on it too much.
After a quick wash, he rode on Pidgeot to the Card Master Association in Ning'an District.
This is what Ma Liang told Russell and the other two yesterday. He told them to report directly to the Card Master Association today, and someone would take them to the newly discovered secret realm.
Arriving at the entrance of the association, Russell saw Jiang Nanxi and the other two waiting for him at the entrance, and immediately said, "Sorry, I'm late."
Before Jiang Nanxi could say anything, Lin Yue touched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "It's not too late, we just arrived too."
While Russell and the other two were talking, Ma Liang appeared in front of them with three card makers.
"These three are the classmates who will follow you this time." Ma Liang introduced them to the people around him.
The three of them responded immediately: "Yes, President Ma, we will definitely take good care of the students."
These three are the captains of the bronze-level card maker team. This time, Russell and the others will join a card maker team to explore.
Russell was followed by a strong man named Zhou Yi.
Looking at the backs of the people leaving, Ma Liang's eyes flashed.
Following Zhou Yi to the parking lot, Russell saw a man and a woman standing next to a jeep.
Zhou Yi greeted the two of them: "Zhao Chang, Xiang Yan, this is classmate Russell who is accompanying us this time."
Upon hearing this, the two looked Russell up and down and sighed imperceptibly.
In their opinion, they were simply unlucky to have been given this task of taking care of the rookies.
Not only was there an extra burden, but part of the proceeds from the secret realm had to be shared with Russell.
Although the association will compensate them for this part in the end.
Zhao Chang was a gentle man wearing glasses. He smiled and greeted Russell: "Student Luo, thank you for your guidance this time."
Xiang Yan was a vicious woman with a scar on her face. She was not so polite when she spoke: "Hey, rookie, after entering the secret realm, just stay beside us and don't cause any trouble for us."
But Russell was not angry. Although Xiang Yan's words were unpleasant to hear, they were essentially meant to ensure his safety. He immediately said honestly, "I know, Brother Zhao, Sister Xiang."
The four of them got into the jeep, and Zhou Yi began to tell Russell about the information about the secret realm.
"The secret realm association we are going to this time is temporarily named [Black Flag]. After preliminary investigation, it was determined to be a bronze-level secret realm. You should know all this."
Russell nodded. Ma Liang had told them all this yesterday.
Zhou Yi saw that Russell knew, so he continued: "The terrain in the secret realm is of the ocean island type, which is the more difficult type."
"But don't worry, the association has already prepared the ship, and all we have to do this time is to further explore the intelligence."
There are students participating in this exploration. Although the association hopes to give them some experience, it is impossible for them to do any tasks that are too dangerous.
But then, Zhou Yi's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "And in [Black Flag], the most demons are human-shaped pirates."
"I don't know what you were taught in school, I just hope you only have one concept in your mind now."
"That means demons are not to be trusted. No matter how much they behave like humans, don't sympathize with them!"
The monsters Russell had encountered before were all monster-like monsters, and he had never encountered a human-like monster before.
However, he remembered that the textbook said that although humanoid demons behaved very much like humans and possessed high intelligence, they would immediately attack once they discovered the identity of Blue Star humans.
Even if they did not launch an attack immediately, it was only to gain the trust of the humans on Blue Star so as to kill more of them.
There were voices in the past calling for harmonious coexistence with demons, but after the painful lessons paid with blood and tears, these voices disappeared.
Combining the content in the textbook, Russell's face became serious and he quickly replied: "I know, Brother Zhou."
