This girl was an orphan.
Both her parents were my students, both of whom gave up their lives for Fog Isle.
Their daughter was lost in some unknown world, only just returned here not too long ago, yet she was falsely accused and might lose her life because of this.
A helpless orphan girl, waiting for her life and death to be judged.
Lord Bloodcloak stayed silent for a while, then spoke: "You are innocent, Su Cher"
"Thank you, Sentinel"
"What else do you have to say about today's events?" Lord Bloodcloak asked.
It's here.
Now!
Su Cher pursed her lips, a bit hesitant.
"Can I … ask a small question?" she asked.
"Of course, you can ask anything you want" Lord Bloodcloak was a bit more lenient today.
"Thank you" Su Cher carefully said.
This is my only chance to retaliate, so I have to take it.
I'm also a person.
A perfectly fine person.
I want to stay alive here.
You can't do this to me anymore.
You can't bully me anymore.
If anyone tries to take my life again …
"For the sake of fairness, I hope that Sentinel will also search them" Su Cher said.
"That's how it should be" Lord Bloodcloak agreed.
Several blood-red streaks flew from the air, circled around the girls once, then threw a bunch of junk on the ground.
Among the miscellaneous items, there was an identical booklet lying there.
Lord Bloodcloak picked up the booklet and casually flipped through it.
"Ahahaha, ahahaha!"
He chuckled.
I was fooled and almost killed my student's daughter.
"Gurus, please take a look"
Lord Bloodcloak tossed the booklet out.
The booklet circled around the statues once before landing on the ground.
"Heretic"
The statues all spoke in a low voice.
"No! We don't have this booklet! "
"This must be a frame-up."
"Gurus, I really didn't know this would happen, this isn't mine"
The girls screamed in fear.
Practicing heretic is a capital crime.
One of the girls suddenly started crying: "I was wrong, I was just jealous that she was a quick learner and managed to reach this place alive. She's also an orphan, so it doesn't matter if she gets bullied, I didn't think this would happen!"
As soon as she started crying, the other girls also started crying.
They knew the consequences of practicing evil arts.
This was exactly what they were prepared to give him.
At this moment, they finally understood what they were going to do to others.
Lord Bloodcloak asked: "Gurus, what do you think?"
After a moment of silence, the statues said, "You can decide."
The Devil Lord thought for a while and asked Su Cher, "What do you think?"
Su Cher looked at the girls.
The girls all knelt down in front of her and cried for mercy.
Su Cher then looked at the messy booklet that had fallen into the dust.
That was the booklet that Gu Qing Shan gave her, the real booklet.
In a desperate situation, she had no choice but to use this booklet to plot a trap in order to gain a chance of survival.
Now, clusters of flames appeared on the booklet, rapidly and irrevocably burning the booklet to ashes.
Gu Qing Shan seemed to be whispering into his ear.
"… The booklet is a type of cultivation technique, this is the most important thing, you must practice it with all your heart"
"Cultivate well, quickly become stronger, the future of this world isn't very good, you must have the ability to protect yourself"
"Do your best!"
Su Cher was stunned.
She had lost the booklet forever.
"Sentinel, is my opinion useful?" she asked.
「 You are the victim, of course it is useful 」 Lord Bloodcloak replied.
The girls' cries became louder.
They loudly begged Su Cher for mercy.
Su Cher muttered: "Practicing evil arts and fooling a Guru, I remember that you should be fed to the Abyssal spiders"
「 Then that's it 」 Lord Bloodcloak nodded.
He waved his hand.
Several white silk threads hung down from the ceiling.
The girls and their cries were all sealed off by the threads.
Colorful giant spiders descended from the ceiling.
These giant spiders reached out their thin legs, grabbed the white silk threads and spun them around, turning them into mummies.
The spiders brought the mummies up to the ceiling and happily went out the window.
「 The verdict is over, you may return, Su Cher 」 Lord Bloodcloak said.
He thought for a bit, then continued: 「 I remember that during this trial, the most talented people were the food for you and those spiders just now 」
「 They are no longer here, but you can't relax, you must continue to work hard 」 the mummy patiently guided her.
He suddenly put a scroll into the void of space.
The scroll disappeared and reappeared in front of Su Cher.
"Sir, what is this?" Su Cher doubtfully asked.
「 It's for you 」
Su Cher smiled and curtsied: "Thank you, Sentinel"
「 You're welcome, your parents were my students, I didn't take care of you at all and instead dragged you into a trap that almost killed you, this is my small apology 」 Lord Bloodcloak said.
Su Cher didn't even look at the scroll and accepted it.
"A single scroll will affect me greatly, I won't refuse it, but if I become successful in the future, I won't forget your kindness" she said with a serious expression.
When you first enter Fog Isle, before awakening, no one will have any power.
Unless you steal it from others, or receive a gift from a high-ranking Guru, you won't be able to obtain any power.
This scroll will be a great help to Su Cher.
Not only did she accept it, but she even said such a thing.
Lord Bloodcloak was a bit surprised, but also happy.
This little girl's actions are straightforward, her words aren't fake, and she knows how to repay someone.
Very good.
「 Are you confident in the trial? 」 Lord Bloodcloak asked with concern.
Unlike the black-robed woman, right now, he was truly concerned.
"I'm not confident" Su Cher answered.
Lord Bloodcloak smiled: 「 You made it to Fog Isle alive, fate favors you, no need to worry 」
Su Cher hesitated a bit, then spoke her mind: "I relied on a certain tool to make it to Fog Isle alive"
She continued: "In truth, I myself don't have the corresponding talent to make it to Fog Isle alive"
"That's why, I have no confidence in the trial at all"
Hearing that, Lord Bloodcloak was a bit surprised.
He could feel that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
The daughter of a student, an orphan, was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
After so many years, who dared to be so close to me?
Lord Bloodcloak stayed silent for a bit, then finally spoke: "Su Cher, I'll tell you the truth"
"Please go ahead"
"If fate doesn't favor you, you won't be able to reach Fog Isle no matter what tool you use"
"Do you think there aren't any monsters in the sky?"
"For the past hundred years, you're the only one who managed to pass through all the gaps and arrive at Fog Isle when the monsters weren't paying attention"
Su Cher was stunned.
Is that so?
I abandoned my previous fate and used that card to come to this world.
And the result?
I was transported to the sea of corpses.
I was almost eaten by the monsters in the sea.
After coming to Fog Isle, I was envied, isolated, and pushed aside by the other Apprentices.
Guru Isa wanted my life.
Is this fate favoring me?
It doesn't seem like it at all.
But a peerless character like Lord Bloodcloak wouldn't lie.
Su Cher was a bit hesitant.
Lord Bloodcloak looked at her expression and understood.
Lord Bloodcloak continued: "As soon as anyone arrives at Fog Isle, their fate will be rewritten"
"Life or death, it all comes from the desire in your heart, as well as the call and resistance to fate"
"No matter what tool you rely on, it is a gift from your new fate, otherwise fate would have destroyed it"
Su Cher seriously listened to him and nodded.
Lord Bloodcloak seems to feel like he said too much, so he waved his hand: "You may leave, prepare for the trial"
"Yes, thank you Sentinel, thank you Gurus"
Su Cher bowed and slowly left.
She slowed down her steps and calmly left the House of Law.
After she left.
The giant statues suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The only person left in the House of Law was Lord Bloodcloak sitting on his throne.
Lord Bloodcloak sat there blankly for a while, muttering to himself: "Never died, but still exudes the aura of a new fate, what a lucky one"
Su Cher headed towards her own resting room.
The top 3 candidates of the Apprentice trial will receive a special reward.
They can freely choose their Gurus, rather than being chosen by the Gurus themselves.
These 3 spots will soon cause countless people to fight over them.
All sorts of methods will be used.
And I, as the only person to make it to Fog Isle alive in the last 100 years, will most likely receive one of the spots.
Everyone's eyes were filled with jealousy.
They were thinking of ways to deal with me.
Cold eyes, pushing aside, even using force to bully me.
Finally, on my way to the library, they managed to think of a way to make an official Apprentice come to bother me.
If it weren't for that male Apprentice's class starting earlier, I don't even know what would've happened to me.
Fortunately, I didn't just sit there and wait for death.
And now, the main plotters are about to die.
They had been eliminated by him.
Maybe today or tomorrow, the Abyssal spiders will eat them.
