After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 434

Chapter 434: 338. Cat Girl Helps, Mysterious Leader of the Phoenix Tail Flower Fan Club_2

[The dean of Azure Sky University is actually a kid who loves to sneak desserts, not mature at all!]

If this news were seen by a teacher, they might be disappointed and not come looking for her in three years.

“The captain dislikes childish people.”

That was one of the lines Dark Shadow had said.

At that time, Bailuo secretly decided to become a mature adult to make the teacher like her.

“I'm just handling official duties, you know? It's necessary for the dean to inspect this thing for the health of adventurers!”

As Bailuo defended herself, she turned to look at the person who startled her.

The individual was a male with broad shoulders, wearing a brown coat. He was bowing with his head down, at a ninety-degree angle, hands at his sides, torso parallel to the ground.

In the etiquette of adventurers, this was considered a very serious gesture of respect.

Bailuo bent down to look at his face, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes:

“Why is it you…? Have you reconsidered, asking this dean to join Azure Sky University? That's not possible; I have given you a chance already.”

But Lin Da was here for another matter.

“The heretics at Dragon's Rest Tomb have captured my team members. Dean, I beg you to help us, the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team will never forget your kindness!”

Lin Da raised his head, speaking earnestly.

“Dragon's Rest Tomb?”

Bailuo frowned, saying, “Really? You better not be deceiving me.”

“There are many eyes and ears here, please step aside for a private word, Dean.”

Lin Da led Bailuo onto his own luxurious seven-person carriage.

Purchasing this carriage cost one hundred thousand Gold Coins, it had fine horses, and was luxuriously decorated, equipped with a Temperature Control Magic Circle and red leather sofas.

Members of Luanwei and President Velen were all waiting inside.

Seeing Velen's sheepish grin, Bailuo knew what was happening.

This adventure guild president of White Dove City had leaked her whereabouts.

Without time to lecture Velen, Bailuo sat on the principal sofa, her face growing stern: “Dragon's Rest Tomb? What is going on, I will not allow heretics to misbehave under my watch.”

Seeing Bailuo's stern expression, Lin Da felt relieved; approaching Bailuo was the right move.

Even though Bailuo had retired from being an adventurer, Azure Sky Adventurers University was a national academy, and Bailuo was officially part of the empire.

This meant she could not ignore the heretics.

In the carriage, Lin Da quickly recounted the situation.

“I see, those despicable heretics, I will not let them escape!”

After pondering for a moment, Bailuo said, “Leave this matter to me; the device to detect the magic power fluctuations of the teleportation array can be urgently called from Cyan City by the Adventurers' Guild tonight.”

Velen, surprised, asked, “Is one night enough time to bring it from Cyan City?”

[Wave Detection Instrument], a magic instrument bigger than a cabinet-style refrigerator.

It contains multiple components and dense small arrays, making it impossible to fit into a Space Ring. Each insertion or removal from the Space Ring causes slight spatial fluctuations, damaging array-based instruments, therefore they must be transported manually.

The most important point was that this device was incredibly expensive, costing at least ten million Purple Gold Coins–that is one billion Gold!

A Wave Detection Instrument was available in White Dove City, but was eighty years old, too old a model, with large deviations in the detection of teleportation array fluctuations.

And precision was what Lin Da's plan needed most.

If they couldn't precisely locate the other side of the teleportation array for quick support,

Lin Da, going through the teleportation array alone, would face greatly increased risks!

Everyone looked expectantly at Bailuo.

“Hmm… Cyan City is quite far, one night won't be enough.”

Bailuo scratched her cat ears, appearing troubled.

The crowd showed disappointed expressions.

“Is it really not possible…?” Lin Da sighed.

Just then, Bailuo shifted her tone:

“Indeed, Cyan City is too far for one night, but we can request it to be sent from Proclamation Wind City instead.”

Proclamation Wind City was ranked 57th in the Adventurer's Weekly last year.

“There's definitely a 'Wave Detection Instrument' there.”

“If it's Proclamation Wind City, we definitely have time,” Lin Da said, overjoyed.

Weylon also said excitedly, “President, I will take you to the 'Magic Mirror' right away to initiate remote communication with Proclamation Wind City!”

The city level of Proclamation Wind City is higher than that of White Dove City.

Weylon could only negotiate with them if he went himself.

To bring the Wave Detection Instrument over, they needed at least one Moon rank adventurer for the escort, and even if Proclamation Wind City agreed, they might not send someone overnight.

Each city is a separate entity, only managed by the central empire. Even if Proclamation Wind City is unwilling to help, Weylon doesn't have many options.

But it's different when Bailuo, a five-star official of the empire and the president of Azure Sky University, personally intervened.

Moreover, pleasing President Bailuo would increase the chances for adventurers from Proclamation Wind City to enter Azure Sky University in the future.

“What a helpful cat girl, the captain is proud!”

Lin Da watched Bailuo step forward with her chest puffed out and her fist beating in front of her, displaying a fatherly affectionate gaze.

Who could have imagined that Bailuo, who always looked gloomy and cold as ice three years ago, could become such a just child?

With Bailuo's help, the issue of the Wave Detection Instrument was resolved.

The agreed date is tomorrow at noon.

With time pressing, Lin Da and their group split up for different tasks.

Weylon and Bailuo went to the 'Magic Mirror' to have Proclamation Wind City send the Wave Detection Instrument.

Lin Da and Lulu went to the 'Imperial Credit Bank.'

They checked how the war spoils they consigned yesterday had sold.

All the gold coins were exchanged for equipment to arm Lin Da.

To face the unknown risks tomorrow, the stronger Lin Da was, the better.

Heaven knows how many heretics were waiting for him there.

Lin Da mentally apologized to Lia. He was supposed to give her a third as a reward, but due to the urgency, he could only owe it for now.

The group rode in a carriage to the grand entrance of the Imperial Credit Bank located on Central Street.

This was a huge castle-like building whose radiance lit up the entire street brightly.

Inside, the floor was covered with reflective white porcelain tiles, and the chandeliers resembled artworks, creating a magnificent and dazzling atmosphere, as if entering a small kingdom's palace.

Here, one could buy most of the common equipment, and the quality was highly guaranteed. If any magical equipment broke under normal use within a year, it would be replaced for free.

The only drawback was that items in the Imperial Credit Bank were generally 10 to 20 percent more expensive than outside.

Whether the high price was worth the quality service was a matter of opinion.

Manager Penna from the Adventurers' Guild accompanied Lin Da and his group.

As soon as they met, Penna happily said, “Captain Lin Da, congratulations! An hour ago, all your war spoils were bought out by a young lady from out of town!”

“Eh, all sold out?”

As they took the elevator to the tenth floor to the 'High-end Magic Equipment Specialty Store,' Lin Da looked at Manager Penna with surprise.

The speed at which the war spoils were sold was unexpectedly fast.

In a small place like White Dove City, it's normal for epic-level materials to take a week or two to sell.

This time, Lin Da even planned to use his 'Prestige' and 'Honorary Adventurer Badge' to run a tab.

Knowing that the war spoils were sold, he was both shocked and delighted.

Lulu pinpointed a suspicious detail, saying cautiously, “A young lady from out of town bought out our war spoils?”

“Yes,” Penna recalled. “She was a pretty young girl in a black dress, looking about eighteen or nineteen years old, and had a Minotaur guard with her who felt very formidable. I heard from the managers here that the guard's aura was no less than Star Rank, probably a Moon rank adventurer.”

“Moon rank?”

Lin Da raised an eyebrow.

Such a formidable person appearing in White Dove City… Could it be that the odd gaze Lulu felt was from this person?

“Tell me more,” Lin Da said, concerned that the other party might be an inspector from the Bloodflame Duke.

If the Bloodflame Duke took an interest in the Phoenix Tail Flower, and planned to dig them out, that would be terrible.

Although the Bloodflame Duke's underground training camp produced strong individuals, everyone was forced to wear collars, becoming slaves, and entire teams were sold to the Great Nobility.
