Chapter 376 Going to the Volcano
Of course, there is a guard at the door of Elkath's house.
After Mikoto Misaka showed him the invitation from Assam, he said:
"Are you the adventurer who is willing to repel the dragon? I'm Lyme, the guard here. If you want to go to Mount Benicas, go and say hello to our regimental first. This is the rule of entering the volcano. Are you going to see the regimental commander now?"
As he said, he also took a look at Xinjie, and didn't care much about Misaka Mikoto bringing one more person.
When they entered Elkath's room, the two found that the interior of the room was really quite large, with two floors of structure, spacious interior space, and... all kinds of people, adult men and women, young men and women, and many children.
"Are you newcomers?"
Unexpectedly, everyone seemed very enthusiastic about the arrival of the two. As soon as they saw Xinjie and Misaka Mikoto, they surrounded them directly.
"I am the leader's subordinate Salam, and I hate my father and mother the most! Even if you come to pick me up, I won't see them. There are many children abandoned by their parents in this house. It was the regimental commander who adopted these abandoned children.
"Hi, hello, I'm the same as that guy, and I'm also a subordinate of the regiment leader. My name is Baikaru, and I'm responsible for the diet here. There are many children who are developing, but it is very hard to cook. One day, everyone will leave this place and work for the saint.
"Saint?"
Xinjie's heart moved when he heard the word and was about to ask something more detailed, but he was pulled by a tall man who was a teenager.
"Hey, you look very good. I'm Gao Ruggies. Let me tell you, there are also many bad people among the descendants of the empire. I heard that because of these people, all the descendants of the empire are hated by the villagers... Of course, sometimes some people in armor come. They are so handsome! When I grow up, I will also be a guardian saint! By the way, can I touch your sword?"
Xinjie can't laugh or cry. What kind of people are in this room? He looked aside and saw that Misaka Mikoto was in a similar situation, but most of the children around her. At this moment, a majestic man said to the two:
"I'm Hoshi. The second floor is the leader's private room. If you don't matter, please don't enter."
"Well, we have something to do with each other." Mikoto Misaka said and raised the invitation letter in his hand and said proudly.
It was not easy to get rid of these people. Xinjie was planning to go up to the second floor with Mikoto Misaka to meet the leader of the Elkasi group. A girl suddenly grabbed Xinjie, "Can you wait a moment?"
Xinjie looked at the girl holding him and was a little surprised. She looked like a singer. When Misaka Mikoto and he were surrounded by people just now, the girl did not participate, but now when they were about to leave, they suddenly stopped him.
With a doubtful expression, she followed the girl to a quieter corner of the room. She first glanced at Mikoto Misaka, "Sorry, can I talk to him alone?"
"Why?"
Since the girl appeared, Mikoto Misaka has been very hostile to her, but even she doesn't know why.
Seeing that Misaka Mikoto did not seem to be willing to give in, she looked at Xinjie with pleading eyes.
Xinjie turned to Mikoto Misaka and said to her, "Misaka..."
"All right... I'll just get out of the way."
Before Xinjie could speak, Misaka Mikoto left angrily and went aside to chat with those friends.
Xinjie is a little sorry, but this is also Ashafu's suggestion.
Seeing Misaka Mikoto leave, the girl took a long breath, "Hello, I'm the singer Rufna."
It's really a singer. When Xinjie heard Ruferna's words, he couldn't help looking at her more. She was dressed in a light silk gauze, and her delicate skin loomed, which looked quite attractive.
"Jay!"
Ashafu's reminder made Xinjie withdraw his eyes, "What are you looking for me for? Do you still want to open Misaka?"
"Well, I'll only tell you these things," Ruverna looked at Xinjie with her bright eyes and said:
"The people of this family are all descendants of the empire. The regimental told me that even if they live in Minokea, they will only be looked at differently by the villagers, so they can only leave the village and come here. There is no place in this world for the descendants of the empire to live in peace.
Even if it is Northfield, it is not our home, but to be able to meet death there, which is a place full of sadness and despair. But even so... there will always be a glimmer of light at the end of despair.
When she said this, she looked at Xinjie with a kind of hope: "Go to Northfield. Three dragons are waiting for you there.
"How do you know?"
Xinjie was surprised that he didn't tell anyone about his search for the three guardian dragons. So far, only the village head of Minokea and his daughter should know, um, plus an Ashafu.
But Rufna didn't want to say more, turned around and left, and finally left a sentence for Xinjie: "Remember, son of hope, speed up."
"Son of Hope?"
Seeing Rufna leave, Mikoto Misaka came over and happened to hear what she said to Xinjie. She couldn't help wondering: "What's wrong with her?"
"Let's go."
Xinjie shook his head and walked to the second floor first. Ruferna's words gave him a further understanding of what to do next, "The descendants of the empire..."
There is only one girl in the room on the second floor. It seems that she knew that Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka would come. After seeing them, she smiled sweetly and said:
"Are you the one who wants to enter the volcano? I'm the leader Elkasi OK, OK, I know the way to the volcano! I'll tell you if you give 10 million!"
"What are you kidding! 10 million, why don't you grab it!" Hearing the seemingly harmless girl in front of her say this, Misaka Mikoto was immediately unhappy and waved her arm and shouted, "Assam didn't say such a thing to me!"
"Oh?! You have an invitation!" After noticing the invitation letter in Misaka's hand, the girl named Elkasi suddenly realized and apologized repeatedly, "It turns out that you are an adventurer who is willing to repel the dragon in the volcano! It's really rude. Would you like to help us?"
"If you don't want to, we won't come. Tell us what happened first."
Misaka Mikoto was no longer angry when he saw the other party's attitude change, but asked.
Elkasi nodded and said:
"The thing is that the man we took with needed herbs that only grow in volcanoes and broke into the sanctuary of the volcano, which angered the dragon. The dragon's anger caused a volcanic eruption! This makes it impossible for us to do business. Tell you that you may be surprised that the dragon living in the volcano used to be the evil dragon that helped Tolfagia fight against Elbania.
Such an evil dragon can't be ignored. I like peace best! So I want to invite you to repel the dragon. If you are willing to accept it, 10 million yuan for the guidance of the volcano will be regarded as free! If you defeat that dragon, you will also be given ancient treasures, hehe! Going north from here, we made a road to the volcano! Just go there! Just take this and show it to my friends!"
"This is..."
Misaka Mikoto took over what Elkasi gave her. It was a simple ring, which didn't look special.
"This is a sacrificial ring. With him, my friends will let you pass."
"Oh, I see."
When Mikoto Misaka was talking to Elkasi, Xinjie was also talking to Ashafu.
"The dragon she said should be one of the three guardian dragons, Jie?"
"It should be right. The pharmacist I met before also mentioned Noli's name. Presumably, the dragon living in the volcano now is the silent dragon Noli. The man who angered it was the brother of the pharmacist Misaka had seen. I didn't expect that the volcanic eruption would be because of the dragon."
"But why did she call Noli an evil dragon?"
"probably because she is on Elbania's side. After all, for Elbania, the dragon guarding Tolfagia is indeed evil."
"Xinjie?"
Xinjie, who was called by Mikoto Misaka, raised his head.
"We should go."
"Hmm."
Xinjie nodded and left with Mikoto Misaka. When he walked out of the room, he couldn't help looking back at Elkasi. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that the girl was not as markety and righteous as she appeared.
Because the road to the volcano has been pointed out, and the target of Benicas volcano is too obvious, the two found it with little effort.
Huh? What's the matter?"
When the people guarding the road saw Xinjie and Mikoto Misaka, they asked casually.
Mikoto Misaka stretched out his hand and asked him to look at the ring given to her by Elkasi. "Oh, it's you. I've received a notice from the head of the regiment. Let's go."
With that, he flashed aside to make way for the two.
After walking for a while, Mikoto Misaka looked at the volcano towering into the clouds and asked with some worry:
"Are we going to go up?"
Xinjie shook his head and said, "Listen to Elkasi's tone, the brother of the pharmacist you knew before should have walked up."
"Do you have a better way?" Mikoto Misaka shook her head when she saw Xinjie and said strangely, "You can't fly up, can you?"
He sighed and couldn't help saying, "If only the black man were here."
"Who is the black man?" This time it's Xinjie's turn to be curious, "Are you your friends?"
"Not bad." Mikoto Misaka nodded, "If she is here, we don't have to worry about how to go up the mountain."
Listen to Misaka Mikoto's tone, this person named Kuroko should also be a girl and has a good relationship with her. "Can she fly? Is it also a superpower?"
I heard Mikoto Misaka talk about various superpowers in the school city before, so Xinjie asked this.
"No, she can't fly. Her ability is to move space," Misaka explained, and then sighed, "It's a pity that she's not here."
"So it is." Xinjie nodded. If space moves, it is indeed very simple to go to the top of the volcano, and then smiles, "Although I can't move in space or fly, I also have a way."
