The Devil Inside

Monica sneered: “Don’t be cunning, kid. I can lend you some money. There are very high-end hotels in Arendelle.”
Forget it.
……
……
The information sent by Professor Monica contains a detailed record of the resume of the person who pawned the fragments.
The name is ordinary;
He looks ordinary.
The experience was just like that, just an ordinary life of an ordinary person. The outer city of Arendelle had a certain residence threshold, but it was much more relaxed than the school district, and anyone could stay there for a short period of time.
One of this person’s work experiences caught Han Solo’s attention.
Security guard of the “Knitting Club”.
There is a magical organization in the outer city of Arendelle that is keen on teaching people to knit sweaters. No one knows what they are trying to do. They don’t sell the sweaters and scarves they knit. When the weather gets cold, they give them to poor people. They have a very good reputation.
“Yellow Hair Simulator” is not a linear game, and you have to explore a lot of content yourself.
Han Solo is not a hardcore gamer. He doesn’t have the time nor the desire to understand everything about the game in detail and comprehensively. He plays the game only to pass it.
He knows everything about the combat system;
The branch line is secret and I don’t know.
Han Solo is not supposed to know about this organization, but…
In the ninth round of the game, Arendelle was invaded by demons.
After the incident, some information was revealed in the conversation. According to Leila, the Knitting Society was involved. They summoned the ancient sin demon and brought heavy losses to Arendelle.
Now, as it happens, the pawnbroker used to be a security guard at the knitting club.
Isn’t there any connection here?
Not necessarily.
The three of them left Professor Monica’s alchemy workshop and went outside.
Leila glanced at him and said, “It’s incredible, Han Solo, that you dare to talk to your teacher like that! I find that you are really brave. Do you know that even the Grand Duke of Zethria is polite to my teacher and dare not overstep the mark?”
Rachel also said, “Han, you were indeed… a little rude just now. Teacher Monica’s status may be higher than you think. The Spellcaster Association knows it, right? It is the hall of all spellcasters in the continent. Every time the leaders gather, Teacher Monica sits at the top seat. Her inherent talent is extremely powerful and highly respected.”
“I’m already reflecting.”
Han Solo responded casually without reflecting on himself at all.
Leila shook her head and said, “Forget it, forget it. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I have to go to the Heroes’ Gathering in two days. When I come back, I will go with you to look for that ‘fragment’.”
“Really? I’m just doing this little thing, and I’m really bothering you with your help?”
“You’re welcome, we’re all brothers.”
Snap, Snap. Leila stood on tiptoe and slapped Han Solo’s shoulder hard.
What a…
A carefree person.
Rachel thought for a moment, and suddenly said, “Lila, how about… I won’t go to the Heroes’ Gathering. Han and I will go together to look for clues.”
[Shocked! Rachel chose Han Solo instead of Lyra! ]
[Lyla was trembling with fear, and could not believe her ears. What happened to Rachel? Could it be that… Han Solo had given her a love potion, or had given her a special leaf, so that she could only get the product from Han Solo? ! ]
【Shock! 】
[The plunder was successfully launched, and you gain 20 free points (from Leila’s reluctance). ]
“no!”
There were ripples in Leila’s golden eyes.
Her voice, with its reverberation, sounded strangely solemn.
Leila got serious.
She looked at Rachel and said, “Rachel, you have to go with me. We can wait a little longer with Han. The teacher said there is no time limit. When we come back, we can help him together. Han, you won’t object, right?”
Uh……
The change was so swift and unexpected that Han Solo was not prepared.
He felt like laughing as he looked at Leila, who was glowing all over and had already revealed her “hero form”.
She is so anxious.
Chapter 29 #029 Impulse
Leila’s sudden and strong opposition really shook Rachel’s mind.
She was slightly startled and felt somewhat comforted.
only……
Rather than going to the Hero’s Gathering with Leila, Rachel now wants to stay in Arendelle.
Doesn’t this mean that her affection for Han Solo far exceeds that for Leila? How is that possible?
The tacit understanding developed after five years of getting along will not be easily broken.
Rachel just “didn’t want to go to the Hero’s Gathering”, not “wanted to accompany Han Solo on the investigation”.
The participants of the Heroes’ Gathering are all genuine masters. Rachel doesn’t think that she is qualified to stand in front of those people now.
The test that Monica gave Han Solo was a good excuse to escape.
She smiled and asked, “What’s wrong with you, Leila?”
“I……”
Leila was speechless for a moment, and the white light on her body dimmed.
She didn’t know what happened. Just for a moment, she couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart and lost control.
Rachel looked at her and said, “This year’s gathering of heroes is quite special. It is a five-year event. In addition to listening to the teachings of the ‘Will of Zelmon’, there is also the pilgrimage to the Holy City. The whole process takes more than half a month, which is really too long. You know, I’m trying to reach the fourth level recently, and I don’t want to be distracted by other things.”
“But but…” Leila frowned, “Rachel, please come with me!”
“Don’t be willful. You are a brave man.”
Rachel looked serious and emphasized her tone.
She was a little dazed when she said this.
Was she just teaching a “brave man” a lesson?
This is really…
Rachel wanted to laugh.
She and Leila have a great relationship.
Leila is reckless and although she can take responsibility at critical moments, she is usually lazy and slack and behaves like a nobody.
Rachel made up for it very well.
She was serious and restrained, took good care of Leila in life, and often urged Leila to practice.
of course.
These are the things that happened before Leila became a hero.
A lot has changed quietly in half a year.
Rachel suddenly realized—
She hadn’t encouraged Leila to study for a long time. Even if Leila didn’t practice for ten days or half a month, she would not accuse Leila of being lazy like she did before.
What is this sudden feeling of alienation?
Rachel looked at Leila. At this moment, she realized very clearly that there seemed to be a sadly thick barrier between them.
When I came to my senses, it was already…
Lopsided.
Rachel took a deep breath.
She smiled again and said, “Lila, Her Highness Masina… will arrange everything. You don’t have to worry.”
Leila didn’t insist.
She was obviously unhappy and said, “If…you think so.”
Leila took two steps back, suddenly turned around, and walked quickly towards the main building of the mansion.
Han Solo watched coldly without saying a word.
……
……
The sky was clear and blue, and the early autumn sky was extremely vast. The air was a little cool and the sunlight was dim.
Han Solo and Rachel sat side by side on the platform bench, waiting for the next locomotive to arrive.
Maybe the atmosphere was too tense.
Rachel gathered her long hair and tucked it behind her ears. She suddenly asked, “Han, how do you know about the ‘Val Sword Master’? Who is he?”
“A swordsman from the Kingdom of Val, nicknamed ‘The Fierce Tiger’. I don’t know anything else.”
“The fierce tiger?”
Rachel was shocked!
She blinked and said, “Juexinghu is as famous as my grandfather, both of them are already famous sword masters. Why didn’t Princess Masina just call him by his nickname, but instead called him the ‘Young Sword Saint’? And… Senior Juexinghu, when did you become a teammate of the Hero?”
Han Solo didn’t know when he became a teammate of the Brave One.
Some difficult levels require cooperation with other teams of heroes. At that time, Han Solo can control everyone.
The absolutely fierce tiger has high attack and strong defense, strong mobility, and is extremely easy to use, which makes it very impressive.
He said: “That princess obviously did it on purpose. Didn’t you sense her malice?”
“Uh.”
Feel.
But it’s hard to say.
Rachel hesitated: “Her Highness Masina is well-known for her gentleness and kindness. Everyone appreciates her approachable style. I think… she should not have any ill will towards me.”
Is it?
Han Solo closed his mouth and remained silent.
Rachel waited for a moment, but received no response.
She glanced sideways and saw that Han Solo was distracted and in a daze.
She touched his elbow with her finger, somewhat dissatisfied: “Why are you silent? You also heard that Her Highness Masina invited me to participate in the brave gathering several times. If she had ill intentions towards me, would she have said so repeatedly?”
“Rachel, you’re invincible.”
“Am I invincible? Han, I realize that I’ve been too gentle to you lately!”
Han Solo sneered, “You know better than me whether she has any ill intentions or not. Vaal Swordmaster Absolute Tiger is neither a minor nor a commoner. Doesn’t the princess know that? She knows, and she said that on purpose to embarrass you, an adult and a top noble!”
This time.
Silent became Rachel.
She rested her hands on the wooden planks of the bench, raised her white swan neck and looked at the blue sky.
After a while, she smiled and said, “I don’t know what Her Highness Masina thinks, but I know you… Han, you are too dark! You have extreme thoughts and a twisted heart. You don’t look like a good person!”
Han Solo doesn’t know enough about Rachel.
We just met a few days ago and have had very little contact in the game.
