Midnight Walkers are the strongest type of demons, their minds are not much inferior to humans. Seeing that their companions were defeated lightly and flew into the distance like a rag in the wind, the demons did not hesitate and ran away—the action was not sloppy, faster than a rabbit whose tail was on fire.

Nimo put away the shadow, he chose to stand silently in the wind, facing the endless darkness, instead of turning back to face the suffocating embarrassment. He decided to throw the arduous task of explaining it to Oliver, who was good at communication, leaving only an unfathomable back to everyone.

Thanks to Nemo's abyss magic, all the animals around have escaped. The early morning sky turned into a slightly whitish cyan, and the stars scattered all over the sky became sparse, and the sky was about to dawn.

Oliver skillfully put away his sword and coughed twice. Then he took a deep breath, trying to look serious. But when his eyes swept to the expressionless face of Leonard, the whole person slumped again quickly. Rao is Oliver who has dealt with all kinds of difficult guests when he worked in the hotel, and he has no experience in this special situation.

At least those guests won't blow him face-to-face before making trouble for him.

Embarrassing enough, Oliver's eyelids jumped. At this moment, he couldn't stand, and he looked at Nemo who was staring at the scenery not far away, and Oliver realized that he could not escape this disaster after all.

"Ask. There's a safe place ahead, let's talk as we walk." He whispered, and took a step forward.

He didn't even have the confidence to say "we are not suspicious people". From an outsider's point of view, there may be no more suspicious people in this world than them. Rather than racking his brains for a less explosive opening, he tends to throw the delicate conundrum back.

The students followed suit, but no one said a word.

Marilyn stared at the back of Nemo's head, as if trying to ignite the short ponytail behind Nemo's head with her gaze. Hayden turned pale again, and finally shivered a little. An expression finally appeared on Leonard's face. He narrowed his eyes and his face became long.

Elmer himself could not say how he felt. During this time, Oliver taught him a lot in private, and he could vaguely see the strength of the opponent. Unfortunately, limited by his own ability, Elmer couldn't estimate the level of the opponent's strength before, but now he is clear.

But the Midnight Walker lost too fast for Elmer to dig out the slightest sense of reality in his mind.

"Oliver is not a deserter." He could only speak up first, trying to break the depression. "Last training... uh, he actually threw the meerkat onto the snake mane lion, I can see it. He actually helped us, but I don't know why..."

"Why hide your strength?" Leonard took over the conversation and managed to stabilize his expression without showing too much shock. "Mr White used abyss magic, and a man who used abyss magic got into the largest military academy in Alban. He couldn't always put a sticker on his forehead saying 'I love abyss magic, welcome to catch'. "

The little aristocrat turned his gaze to Oliver, his facial muscles twitched a few times. He looked like he wanted to raise his sword for defense, but for some emotion he didn't want to, so he twisted into a nondescript pose. "Black chapter or a fugitive?"

"Black Chapter." Oliver only felt that he was about to suffocate with thick embarrassment, and he carefully choked out a word. The heart of the labyrinth was right in front of them, and they could already see the anomalous sphere suspended in the air. Oliver quickened his pace and stood beside Nemo, praying that the thing would distract the students.

"That thing... God, it's the 'eye of God'." Marilyn staggered in place and seemed to stabilize her weak leg. Her voice was shrill for the first time. "Zenni is above, we...we are in the heart of the labyrinth. When you say 'safety zone', you mean the heart of the labyrinth?!"

"Yeah." Oliver nodded, trying to look calm. "There is a teleportation array over there. We are indeed Heizhang, and we only entered the academy for... er, to perform a certain mission."

"The Academy will not cooperate with the Mercenary Guild." Leonard said sternly, and when he heard the words "Maze Heart", he swayed in place.

"So we sneaked in." Oliver tried hard.

"Then who is your mission target?... We are in the depths of the labyrinth, and it is impossible for Heizhang to do this kind of white work out of 'good intentions'. Only the spider-level Heizhang can guarantee that he is in the This kind of place survives, and in the spider level... I don't remember you being so young. You must have tested the illusion of disguise when you entered the school, and you obviously didn't make any disguise on your face and age. Then there is only one possibility, you The goal of the mission is ours, so we have to take the risk of chasing it."

"Maybe they really came to help." Hayden finally spoke, although he was still a little trembling, his voice was calm. "Do you remember when you pushed me in the hallway? If White didn't want to draw unwanted attention, he could just leave me alone... You gotta come this way, Leonard. Miss Lawler's healing is great. , but you're losing blood and need some potion."

The first half of his words can be called cautious, but the last sentence is immediately tough.

"But even if they repelled the Midnight Walker, there are still surface creatures that are stronger than the Midnight Walker. It's two different things to get ahead and take your life. Even mercenaries can't do this for free. It's a thankless and tiring job, and I know that only one team will do it." Leonard snorted and silently stepped forward, a little embarrassed on his face.

"If it's tumbleweed, it's normal to do this kind of thing." Speaking of his favorite Black Badge team, Leonard's eyes lit up.

Oliver held his breath.

“…but they can’t be tumbleweeds. Although there is no image, I heard my chef describe it—Oliver Ramon is a two-meter-tall man, and one of their team The mage is a gloomy, fierce, murderous guy." Leonard squeezed the glass vial, shook the turbid dark green liquid, and then squeezed his nose and poured it down his throat.

Hayden looked critically at the abrasions on Leonard's skin, and seemed happy to use it to distract himself. He ignored Leonard's instantly distorted face, and carefully disinfected with the liquid.

Height 1.81 meters, Oliver fell into complete silence. Nemo pricked up his ears, and finally stopped obsessed with pretending to see the scenery—

"It's okay to be gloomy." He said in shock, "A murderous look? What is a murderous look?"

"That's what he said. I also know about the other member - the former judge knight in friar's uniform, the beautiful thief, and the remaining female warrior with strange spells A musket with feathers on it. The two of them are completely out of character." Leonard said solemnly, hissing and gasping from the pain of sterilization. "And I haven't heard of who is in a relationship with whom. That's the most honest and pure team I've ever seen."

This scene is hopeless. Oliver thought numbly, looking up at the dragon's breath stone ball that was getting closer.

He couldn't think of any way to confess without hurting Leonard's feelings. Nemo is still immersed in the "murderous" evaluation, looking a little confused.

An unexpected person saved the field.

"Oops, Commander." Jesse nimbly came over from behind the gap in the stone wall and greeted him. "Why are you dealing with the wound here? Since you're here, it's better to wait until your heart is ready."

He raised his eyes and glanced at the students behind the two of them, and said words of concern, but his eyes were full of indifference.

The students looked straight at the man who appeared out of nowhere and made gasping noises of varying volume. Jesse was clearly pleased with the reaction, blowing kisses at the fledgling youngsters with a charming enough smirk.

"Too beautiful." Hayden wiped Leonard's wound with a soft cloth dipped in liquid medicine, and lowered his voice.

"'Jesse the Viper,' Jesse Dillon?" Leonard's tone was a little trance, and it wasn't a good trance.

"Huh?" Jesse nodded.

“…Tumbleweed?”

"Actually, I don't like this name very much, but I can't help it. Who makes the taste of the head of our family shocking - shocking in every sense."

"He called you Captain." Leonard turned to Oliver, sounding completely dizzy.

Oliver looked at the other party with a heavy heart, and made a guilty plea. He glanced at Jesse Dylan, his expression becoming more complicated.

"Is the medicine you just gave me hallucinogenic? It's probably the side effects." Leonard turned to Hayden, his expression stiff.

"No, I heard it too." Hayden wiped the wound with a lot of force.

"We didn't mean to hide it from you, sorry." Oliver said it all in one breath. "Mr. Leonard, you seem to have a lot of, uh, misunderstandings about us. Anyway, that's the way it is, if you..."

"Dear Captain, if you want to chat, now is not a good time." Jesse moved his shoulders, "Let's settle down with these people first."

"Captain." Leonard murmured and repeated, staring at Oliver's eyes, trying to find the guilty conscience after lying. All he found was a ton of embarrassment.

Oliver took a deep breath and grabbed Jesse and Nemo, pulling them away from their makeshift classmates. "Let's talk here."

Nimo finally broke free from the shadow of the "murderous" evaluation. Unlike Oliver, who was still madly embarrassed, he was relatively out of the way and keenly smelled something. "Where's Mr. Cross?...Why are you picking us up?"

"Oh, about this." Jesse tucked a strand of brilliant blond hair behind her ears, glanced at a few confused young people not far away, and threw a soundproof spell . "He's fine for now, he's waiting for you in the maze."

Oliver instantly suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, and his voice became serious. "Is it okay for now?"

When facing Jesse Dillon, Oliver and Nimo's youthful student breath disappeared instantly, and the aura belonging to the strong was naturally suppressed. Even though he couldn't hear what they were talking about, Leonard couldn't help but take a step back, his mind still blank from shock. Hayden continued to work mechanically, and was about to give him a whole body disinfection. Elmer and Marilyn remained silent, but their shoulders were a little slumped, and they wanted to shrink back.

“Should we… take advantage of this meeting to talk about the current situation?” Leonard suggested a little dully after a few seconds.

Marilyn frowned and nodded slightly. The four young people gathered in a pile, unable to tell what they were feeling. Gratitude, shock and a touch of fear all mixed together. Regardless of whether the other party is malicious or not, they cannot passively accept everything.

Indeed, they are reservists, not civilians to be rescued. Never be dazed by the status quo and blindly follow.

Whoever it is.

"Godwin Lopez is waiting for you, they have just arrived." Jesse on the other side ignored the two momentum and spoke calmly. "Cunning guy, he's allowed to use the exclusive channel of Alban's royal family. Mr. Wright, you should know the peculiarities of this place. I can't use communication magic to contact you two in front of him."

"Horizon held Mr. Cross and asked you to come to us." Oliver's voice was a little more unpleasant. "Godwin Lopez doesn't look like someone who would do something like that, and I think they should have a good reason."

"It's very simple, the important members of Horizon believe that you are taking these little guys as hostages." Jesse raised his chin at the four students.

"You won't stop?" Nemo stared at Jesse. Knowing Godwin's past, he didn't think that the man who lived like a textbook would do anything outrageous to the former knight commander. He was more worried about the position of the guy in front of him - since Jesse Dillon didn't come for himself, it was even less likely that Oliver or Ann would join. When you think about it, it's Adrian Close that Jesse cares about, both when he joins and when he acts.

Now that Nemo probably knows what Jesse is, he won't believe in love at first sight.

He was very curious about the guy's position.

"You forgot my ability, I'm a 'divine'." Jesse curled the corners of his mouth, "My darling Ed will be fine, at least someone who has been gentle all night, I can't just ignore it like that."

Nimo stared at Jesse in disbelief, and Oliver looked like he had been slapped with a hammer in the face.

"That's the end of the chat." Jesse patted, "Now here's the problem - we have to run away, Captain, or we'll take it and take these little guys as hostages. If the situation No, I have the confidence to take Ed away."

"No." Oliver forcibly recovered from the shock, with a very determined tone.

"Ann is still in the academy, we can't just leave her like this." Nemo's focus was elsewhere.

"Well, this answer is really not surprising. As for dear Ann, I have contacted her - she is in the labyrinth, and she will be able to keep up with the army in a while." Jesse doesn't care said.

"Even with Bagelmore, this is the Isamel labyrinth after all, if it starts from the outermost layer..."

"Trust me, she definitely has a way of handling this. Miss Savage isn't one of those tragic characters to be left behind."

"Then I will meet Godwin before she arrives." Oliver said in a deep voice. "Since we can't avoid it, it's time for us to make a break."

Nimo wanted to nod. But a blurry double image suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the sound of shattering entered his ears, which was a bit familiar. He shook his head sharply, then tentatively covered one eye.

Image becomes clear.

After peeking at Dara Layne and Vance in the archive, he put the little spider back on its web. He gave it the ability to completely hide its aura, except that hunting would become smoother, and its life would not have changed.

But it still followed Della Lenien, and even actively sent back images this time. Did he accidentally make its IQ too high? With a vague guilty conscience, Nemo began to observe the pictures that were transmitted—

Then he understood why the picture was sent.

"Totally close the academy." The old principal announced in front of the professors, "The black chapter of unknown purpose has held a group of students hostage and is now hiding in the labyrinth of Isamel. The horizon has gone It's dealt with, but just in case, we have to block all possible paths for them."

"A time like this?" Mrs. Mandy-Dara Lane raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, ma'am." A sneer gradually appeared on Salter's old face, "I'm afraid you won't be able to go home for the time being, I'm very sorry."

"…" The beautiful female professor was silent for a while, covering her lips with her. From the angle of the little spider, he could just see it, and what blocked it was not a silent exclamation, but a distorted smile.

"You still have to move." She said, "The hostages of the First Academy are yours, Salter."
