Rob stopped in his tracks. "Yes. Is there anything else?"
"Can you lend me your back again?" The girl mustered up all the courage in her heart.
Rob was a little surprised. He didn't know why Lolo suddenly became so bold, but he still turned around. He heard the girl's footsteps stop behind him. Lolo took a deep breath, stood on her toes, and pressed her face against the young man's back. She closed her eyes, and it reminded him of that night in Sethevia Port. The girl felt the warmth from the other end of the flax, and all she wanted was to sink into it forever.
Unfortunately, this beautiful scene didn't last long. Luo Luo was the one who broke the silence. She laid on his warm back for less than two seconds, and then with a left hook, she punched the Great Sorcerer into a prawn.
The young man who was suddenly attacked clutched his waist and squatted on the ground. He was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. "This … this is too sinister. Are you a violent maniac? And you actually used this method to distract me before you hit me. I should have known that you wouldn't make such a strange request."
"Hmph, this punch is for bullying me at the bakery." Lolo blushed, but she deliberately made a fierce expression. Perhaps only the bottom of her heart knew how much she missed that warmth. She wanted so badly to lie on his back, but in the end, she had no choice but to throw the punch.
Because she was afraid that if this went on, he would see through her, and she was even more afraid that she would lose herself in that warmth. Her father was right. It turned out that falling in love with someone would really make one weak. In the past, she was alone and fearless. In order to pursue the truth, she could give up everything because she had nothing. However, the girl who was used to crying alone in the silent wilderness now had someone she liked. Her heart softened because of him, and she couldn't help but look forward to a life with him.
For a moment, she even thought that she should just forget about revenge. She wasn't afraid of the hardships and dangers ahead, and she wasn't afraid of death, but she didn't want to see that person grieve for her.
But in the end, she still threw that punch.
His father called himself a ghost bound by the past. He had no future and could only live in the cold past. Ever since Eluria's incident, Karov had not had a good night's sleep. He had devoted all his energy to pursuing the truth and seeking revenge. For this, he had prepared for twelve years, but in the end, he had never returned.
The Divine Hall had used an unimaginably great power to cover up all this. They had wiped away the traces left behind by his father and mother one by one. Luo Luo was their only flesh and blood. If even she had given up, it would be equivalent to announcing that the world had completely abandoned them.
Her father must have faced a similar decision. He did not want his mother to be left alone in those damp and cold memories, so he chose to become a ghost with the woman he loved. In the end, Luo Luo stubbornly followed in his footsteps and embarked on the path of seeking the truth.
The people of the Bretton Clan really did have the same blood flowing in their bones.
…
"Let's call it a day. Remember to prepare for the next chapter when you get back." The teacher who taught the Elemental Structure closed the notes in his hands.
The clamor of the surrounding people woke Lolo up from her memories. She politely declined the invitation of two girls who she had a good relationship with to have lunch together. She packed her things and silently returned to the dormitory.
Lolo took out the equipment that she had prepared from under her bed, put on the soft armor, and tied the dagger to her calf. She then stuffed the cloak, the veil, and the bottle of sleeping potion into her backpack. Finally, Lolo took the Elven sword from the wall.
This was the weapon that she was most comfortable with right now. Although she had become a mage, she had not successfully cast her first spell (besides, the illumination spell had a limited effect in battle). So strictly speaking, the staff was no different from an ordinary wooden stick to her. The mission this time was very dangerous, so she naturally chose the sword that she was most familiar with.
Before Lolo left, she saw the quill on the table. It was a New Year's gift from someone. She liked it very much, and she would usually bring it with her to class or to the library. But this time, she hesitated for a moment, and in the end, she did not put it into her backpack.
This was not an outing, so it was better to bring as few unnecessary things as possible. Moreover, the mission itself was full of danger, and Lolo was worried that if she failed, the enemy would trace the quill to Rob.
The girl carried her backpack and sneaked out of the school through the side door when everyone was having lunch. She first found a secluded place and changed into the cloak and veil. There was still some time before the old man came out to buy groceries. Lolo strolled around the market for a while and bought two eel dumplings for lunch.
Around three o 'clock in the afternoon, the girl noticed that her target appeared in front of a vegetable stall with the dog. The old man picked up two bundles of cabbages and six fresh potatoes that still had soil on them. After paying for the vegetables, he did not immediately take them away. Instead, he left them with the stall owner, and then walked to the fish stall opposite.
This was because the old man's legs were not very good. This was how he usually bought groceries. He would first pick the vegetables, pay for them, and then come back to take them home. This way, he could save a lot of energy, and he did not have to carry the groceries back and forth.
Lolo had already noticed this habit a few days ago, so she thought of starting with the food. She followed the old man not far away, waiting for him to pick up the fish at the fish stall. She quietly sneaked to the place where he bought the vegetables and rummaged for a while, pretending to be dissatisfied with the freshness of the cabbages. So, the stall owner helped her find the freshly harvested cabbages from the sack behind him. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Lolo quickly used a dagger to make a small cut on the bundle of potatoes the old man picked up, and dripped a few drops of the powerful sleeping potion in her hand into the cut.
The addition of the Bocher lizard's tail greatly enhanced the potion's permeability, and the few drops of sleeping potion were quickly and thoroughly absorbed.
However, to avoid arousing the old man's suspicion, the girl did not make a small cut on all the potatoes. She only picked about a third of the potatoes. Lolo was not worried that the group of people would choose the unopened potatoes tonight because this was just the beginning. The old man had just bought another six tunas from the fish stall, and after paying for them, he temporarily stored them there. After he left, Lolo did the same thing again. This time, she dripped the powerful sleeping potion into the mouths of the six tunas.
