It must have been during that meeting that something in Bella sensed the aura of the Shadow Doll and A-Hua, and mistook them for his special bloodline.
The strong scent of perfume on Bella's body at that time could point to her having met Morrison and getting the news about her exposure before coming to find him.
It is reasonable to speculate that the things should belong to Morrison.
If you explain it this way, everything will make sense. After Bella noticed the signal, she found an opportunity to tell her sweetheart Morrison the news after she was arrested. That's why Dean, who had just arrived, attracted Morrison's attention.
Then the dispute between the two became bigger and bigger.
If the conjecture about space is true, then this line should be like this.
Dean was taking notes on his clipboard.
Now there are two possibilities. The first one is that the system has the ability to open up a special space that has nothing to do with itself. Then all the speculations just made can be overturned.
The second one is assuming that with the system's ability, it is impossible for a space to appear out of thin air. So, will the emergence of this space have something to do with yourself?
Dean assumed boldly.
The space has various restrictions, and it can only store species of beasts and familiars recognized by the system. This can be interpreted as the regulations of the system, or it can also be interpreted as the limit of the space itself.
If it was really the latter, then the level of space was far lower than he thought before. At least it certainly didn't appear out of thin air. Its existence must be based on some reason, that is to say, its origin can be explained.
There is also the seemingly incredible possibility that the space is developed by the system based on his body.
A special section that was born because of its own characteristics?
It seems a bit too narcissistic to try to figure out your golden fingers like this.
But the more Dean thought about it, the more he felt that this seemingly ridiculous explanation might actually be reasonable.
Otherwise, why would there be a function called storage that seems too practical among the many research-oriented functions of the system? Don't you think the style of painting is strange?
There are also those weird restrictions. Could it be that he does not have complete qualifications, but only has a slight tendency in this regard, so the system can only derive incomplete spatial abilities?
Only one ability... superpower?
wrong.
Dean shook his head.
It would be too confusing to think about it this way.
He reached out and erased all the notes on the writing board.
There is so little information that this is almost pure guessing.
Although there are so many new professions, it may not be impossible for a person with super powers to appear, but that is not information that he can verify now.
Without any basis, this kind of false speculation can only be just a castle in the air.
So in order to prevent myself from getting sidetracked, let’s stop here first.
After sorting out his ideas about space and superpowers in Chinese in his notebook, Dean closed his inspiration note, shutting down the straying ideas as well, and started thinking about how to allocate the defensive front in the next few days.
Those with super powers or not are too far away from him, and there is no use in thinking blindly. For now, it is better to deal with the beast tide first.
So in the next few days, Dean made all preparations to welcome the first beast wave he would face after arriving in Area 13.
The period also included a pre-war mobilization. During the mobilization, he looked at the big eyes of the Shadow Dolls below and wondered whether the Knights' predicted time was accurate.
Although the time he calculated himself was probably within this range, after getting the official verification, for some reason, he felt that it was a little unreliable.
Maybe it's a sequelae left over from Blue Star Weather Forecast?
However, the facts proved to Dean that the Knights' forecast of the beast tide was much more accurate than Blue Star's weather forecast.
On the second day after entering the prediction period, the Knights' headquarters issued a formal alarm, informing all residents that unusual movements in the Salmon Bird Group had been detected and that they had begun to approach the front line in District 13.
The beast tide is about to begin!
…
Just when District 13 was in a state of preparation for war, a group of boys and girls were exploring the route that the Salmon Bird Clan was running on.
They knew nothing about what happened to the beast tide. A few days of survival in the wild have long ago smoothed these children's sense of time.
Not to mention remembering the pattern of beast tides, their little minds are now filled with eating, eating, eating, eating.
This team is the camping training team of the Holy Seminary.
And Ryan's adopted daughter Lucy is also in this team.
"Lucy, walk slower and wait for me!"
Ashley, who was looking for food, touched her lower abdomen that seemed to be starved, pushed aside the branches, and called to her companions in front.
Hearing her voice, Lucy looked at her position and replied: "Ya found the sweet fruit, I will pick it with him, you go back first!"
"Sweet fruit? Your Yaya is so awesome!"
When he heard that it was a sweet fruit, Ashley, whose teeth had almost been sore in the past two days, suddenly became excited on his face.
It wasn't that she was squeamish and couldn't bear the pain, it was just that this camping training was too difficult. It was simply not a life for human beings. She doubted that even a real knight could survive it. After only three days, Ashley felt that her whole body All will be ruined.
After recalling the deliciousness of the sweet fruit, she made a decisive decision, "I'll go with you!"
Seeing Ashley's insistence, Lucy did not refuse. She slowed down and waited until her companions caught up. Then, under the leadership of Yaya, the two of them set off towards the location of the sweet fruit tree.
"What do you think our assessment will be?"
Ashley asked curiously as they walked on the road.
"have no idea."
This was also the question Lucy wanted to ask. She shook her head and had no idea at all.
Although the camping training these days has been very hard, Lucy, who has been studying for several years and is familiar with the style of the Holy Seminary, naturally knows that this is just an appetizer.
The real assessment is definitely yet to come.
This can be regarded as a specialty of the Holy Seminary in District 13. The special environment has led to this branch to develop a more tough and cruel teaching method than other branches. Although it is a priest college, it has many practical effects on students. requirements.
For example, how to perform simple hemostasis and bandaging when mana is exhausted, and how to protect one's own safety in melee. In recent times, there has even been more teaching on fighting skills.
Many students who thought they could easily survive until graduation from the Pastoral College were surprised.
The several assessments Lucy had experienced before all involved actual combat. Last year, she even went directly to the battlefield to provide assistance. Anyway, it was definitely a grand scene that other branches could not see until graduation.
But there is one thing to say, although this training method is a bit cruel, the effect is outstanding. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the previous joint school comparisons, their 13th district branch, as the poorest branch, has always been second, second only to the main campus with a large amount of resource allocation. How effective is this training method? It’s evident how effective it is.
Therefore, although many students who have tasted the benefits have been scolding the college's top management for being careless behind their backs, they have accepted the assessment well, and when they compete for rankings, each one is more fierce than the other.
Lucy is one of them.
Not only her, but all the classmates in her batch have also gone through many battles. The students had long guessed that this camping training organized by the college was related to the assessment, and they were all secretly preparing for it.
But no one knows what the specific content is.
The teachers were very strict, and they tried to stir up family relationships but couldn't get results. After a few days of fussing, their enthusiasm faded a lot.
"Reached?"
Thinking about the assessment issue, Lucy was a little distracted. After a while, she noticed that Yaya in front of her had stopped at some point.
She thought she had found the sweet fruit, so she walked over and asked curiously.
Yaya didn't answer.
It looked at the sky in the distance, the expression on its face was serious that Lucy had never seen before. She looked in the direction where the teeth were looking, and her eyes suddenly froze.
"Run!"
Looking at the dark flock of birds in the distance, Lucy's expression changed and she quickly turned around and shouted loudly.
Before Ashley could react, he saw her running away and running towards him with Yaya in her arms.
That should be a flock of flying birds.
Lucy, who was preparing to escape, had an unprecedented clarity of mind.
There are so many birds flying around in the air, and their destination is still in the direction of Area 13. Needless to say, it must be a beast tide.
Although it does not look like a medium or large size, as long as it is a beast tide, even if it is small, it is not a small matter.
At least they students, students of the priesthood, would definitely not be able to resist.
Damn it, are you crazy?
Lucy figured out the key instantly.
For such a big thing, the Knights will definitely notify everyone. It is impossible for the Holy Seminary to be unaware of it, but they did not mention it at all, and brought the students here for so-called camping practice... There is only one possibility. .
Is this an assessment?
Lucy cursed secretly.
Although she had known before that the upper echelons of the Holy Seminary were a group of reckless lunatics, this was the first time she had a profound understanding of how crazy they really were.
Have you had enough of life, those old guys? !
Forget about practicing survival skills in the wild, let a group of auxiliaries go to the battlefield to face the enemy head-on, or face the tide of beasts. Have their brains been fooled by pigs? !
She pulled Ashley, who was still a little dazed, and ran back with all her heart.
"Hurry up and build a defense line! The beast tide is coming!"
Letting Yaya help her pay attention to the situation behind her, Lucy ran while establishing communication magic, and transmitted messages to her companions who had established a communication link.
This is an action that tests the stability of spell casting. Although Lucy can barely do it, she is unable to pass too much because she is in the midst of violent exercise.
She could only hope that her teammates on the communication side could be more reliable, convey the news to others in a timely manner, and draw attention to it.
Hope it's not too late.
Activating the acceleration circle on her boots, Lucy returned along the same path that the two of them had opened.
This kind of exercise is still top-notch, even for her who is diligent in exercising, it is a bit unbearable.
Fortunately, Ashley reacted quickly and activated some of the props on her body, which relieved Lucy's burden.
The two of them were running with all their strength, but the distance between them and the beast tide was still getting closer and closer.
The teeth on her shoulders kept sending warnings, and Lucy's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
There is nothing we can do about this.
After all, they have wings. No matter how powerful her and Ashley's magic props are, there will be a limit. Moreover, considering the endurance of the body, there is no way it can be compared to the flying birds that have an innate advantage.
The distance between the two is destined to gradually shorten.
And at the current speed, it might be too late to get back to the camp.
Listening to Yaya's increasingly urgent warnings, Lucy gritted her teeth and kept pressing the rescue button on her body.
Unfortunately, there was no signal that the signal was received.
Damn, this must be intentional too!
Lucy shook off the call for help button as if to vent her anger, and kept greeting those useless teachers in her heart.
Now is no longer the time to worry about scores and rankings. If it weren't for the worry that the two of them had gone too far and there might not be the supervision of the invigilator around, Lucy really had the urge to surrender and force the teacher out.
She would also like to directly ask if there are any teachers around, but with the urinary nature of the Holy Seminary, she probably won't respond even if there is one.
It's a complete dead end.
Lucy listened to Ashley's increasingly rapid breathing behind her, and the urgency in her heart became stronger and stronger.
It happened that at this moment, a sound broke through the air, accompanied by the sharp scream of Yaya.
Lucy immediately realized that it was the elite individuals among the flying birds who were catching up.
The priest's "Holy Light Inspiration" was activated, and Lucy instantly felt a very threatening aura coming towards the two of them quickly.
If this trend follows, Ashley will...
She gritted her teeth and suddenly stopped. Before Ashley could react behind her, she felt a pain in her chest. It was Lucy who activated the instant spell in her bracelet and knocked her to the ground.
Before Ashley could question the sudden attack, she saw a pale golden light suddenly escape from Lucy's chest and turned into a light curtain, guarding in front of her.
The sharp beak of the flying bird hit the light curtain directly.
The holy light barrier emitting a faint light blocked the blow in time.
However, Lucy, who had escaped unharmed, looked increasingly uglier.
This is the holy light protection she sealed on her body in advance, and can only withstand one attack.
And the flying bird just now has exhausted this only protection.
Seeing the light curtain break in front of her eyes, Lucy subconsciously started to cast a spell. However, the speed of the spell was far less than the speed of the wings of the monster.
It was too late to cast the spell.
Looking at the Salmon bird that spun around and attacked towards her again, Lucy closed her eyes and felt a little weak.
Now, we really can only count on the old guys who are proctoring the exams.
She closed her eyes and didn't notice that Yaya, who had just been thrown aside, had already stood in front of her at some point, opening her claws towards the fierce monster.
