Chapter 81: The Plan to Infiltrate the Temple of Clarity
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone~~ A small bonus chapter, no extra charge)
The next sales event was hosted by Elus.
This black-haired girl was indeed a former princess. Even under the gaze of so many people, she showed no fear and confidently said:
“Good afternoon, everyone… Next, I will be showcasing an ancient relic. This ancient relic possesses very miraculous powers and will absolutely captivate you all.”
“W-What is it?”
“Don’t keep us in suspense…”
The surrounding students looked at Elus, but no one expected…
That Elus would take out a basketball from the relic!
And this was no ordinary basketball. When the girl placed the basketball on the floor and infused it with magic…
The basketball transformed into the shape of a hen!
The basketball’s seams were pulled high, forming wings, and it even had a distinct hairstyle. The basketball’s original texture had become like overalls.
Then, before the eyes of the astonished students, this basketball-chicken actually sang and danced, shouting loudly:
“Jini tai mei!” “Jini tai mei!” “Jini tai mei!”
…
The students had never witnessed such an exaggerated performance, and they were all stunned.
The basketball-chicken continued to jump wildly, flapping its wings incessantly, and the “Jini tai mei” turned into strange music.
Seeing that the basketball-chicken was a bit out of control, Elus quickly picked it up… but the basketball-chicken seemed unsatisfied, still shouting:
“What are you doing~~~”
“Mm, that’s how it is… Although this appearance is a bit strange, this is the basketball-chicken that has practiced for 25,000 years~”
Elus covered the basketball-chicken’s mouth and placed it back on the platform.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
However, no one wanted to buy such a strange ancient relic. One student even asked:
“Elus, what is the purpose of this ancient relic…”
“Hmm, you can use this basketball as an alarm clock. The effect is very good.”
“It seems like it actually could be useful…”
“Also, this item was originally used on farms to praise poultry~~ So, if you have a farm, you can buy one to improve egg production.”
…
…
In fact, most E-class and D-class ancient relics were like the basketball-chicken, completely lacking any practical use.
Although they were special, they were tasteless and a waste to discard.
However, under Elus’s “persuasion,” most of the ancient relics at the stall were sold. Moreover, the buyers seemed to have discovered the special uses of these ancient relics.
“Elus, what is this thing used for?”
“This is called a broken mobile hard drive. It’s a kind of ancient blind box. Although most of them cannot be opened, if you can read them, you might get something good~”
“What good thing!”
“For example, ancient people’s game software, or perhaps, ancient people’s ‘study materials’…”
…
…
Thus, Senior Yan’s auction was a great success!
The price of each relic was not expensive, and the purchasing students all gained happiness and satisfaction.
Senior Yan also received enough money to hire people to clean the entire Ancient Academy.
Elus and Su Ling also helped others and received praise.
The only one who was dissatisfied was…
“Wow, why didn’t I have a single line? I just had to sit here!”
“Is it not good to just sit here~”
“It’s not good.”
“Hmph, I understand. Lonis wants to act like a little cutie and use a cute tone to get people to buy things.”
“That’s not it!!”
After the event ended, it was already evening.
Since Zhou Su Ling had her part-time job at the Maid Cafe, they parted ways at the crossroads.
“Lonis, take care of your injuries.”
“Mm…”
Back on the magic ship, feeling the familiar aura, Lonis finally relaxed.
It seemed like a lot had happened today, but throughout it all, Elus had taken meticulous care of her. From morning to night, Lonis didn’t even have to lift a finger.
And when they returned to the bedroom, Elus even picked Lonis up and placed her on the sofa, as if arranging a dakimakura.
Then, Elus picked up the plush toy and the children’s meal toy that Zhou Su Ling had given, and placed them on Lonis’s lap.
Around Lonis, she arranged some ribbons and bandages.
In this way, a cute girl puppet was completed… Looking at Lonis’s weak appearance, Elus even mockingly said:
“Oh dear, I bought an ancient puppet from Senior Yan’s shop, I wonder what use it will be.”
“Uh?”
“I heard that the soul inside was once a boy who wanted to defeat demons everywhere?
But now, it seems to have no other use than warming the bed. What a loss.”
“Wuwu!”
Even though she was looked down upon by Elus, Lonis couldn’t refute.
Because at least these past few days, Elus had worked hard and diligently to take care of her.
Moreover, in the current situation, rebelling against Elus was unwise, as she would be the one to suffer.
But just because Lonis didn’t resist didn’t mean Elus wouldn’t tease her… In fact, this black-haired girl loved to bully the white-stockinged little maid.
“Oh, I didn’t expect even the language function to be missing. You can only say ‘wu’ and ‘yi’… How pathetic. After a few days when I get tired of playing with you, I’ll have to sell you at a discount.”
“Who’s language function is missing!”
Lonis’s pretty face flushed red, but she didn’t dare to move, afraid of dropping the plush toy that Su Ling had given her.
“Oh, so you can talk. That won’t do. It would be troublesome if this cherry mouth were to say something rebellious.”
“Yi?”
“So, a gag is necessary, isn’t it? Lonis must also like that feeling of having your mouth stuffed, with drool flowing down your chin.”
“!!!” (How could I possibly like that!)
Because she dared not resist, Lonis’s face was flushed with shame and anger.
Elus, on the other hand, was sprawled on the sofa, hugging herself with her arm.
“Alright, I’ve teased you enough. It’s time to talk about business.”
“B-Business?”
“Yes, about going to the Temple of Clarity. Lonis, you haven’t forgotten, have you?”
Elus’s mood seemed to be quite good. Her slender fingers merely toyed with Lonis’s bra strap, not attacking any vital areas.
“Oh, right. But I saw in the documents that we are only supposed to accept treatment. Does that mean we need to find another way…”
“Yes, that’s right. Lonis, you need to understand one thing first: The Temple of Clarity is different from the Fiery Abyss Temple. The Temple of Clarity currently has a successor. Therefore, we cannot obtain the First Inheritance, but can only obtain the Second Certification.”
“Second Certification? What does that mean?”
“First Inheritance, Second Certification, Third Blessing. The influence that the Rainbow Abyss can have on humans is divided into these three… Depending on the type, the effects also differ. You and Ruo Hui Gong belong to the First Inheritance of your respective temples, while Senior Zhisheng Luo has the Second Certification.”
“I… I think I understand?”
Lonis nodded, pretending to understand.
“And the opportunity the school has given us is the Third Blessing. As long as you receive the Temple of Clarity’s blessing, you should recover your health. But that’s not enough… To obtain the mimic weapon of the Clarity Abyss, we need to go further.”
“G-Go further… How do we do that?”
“When the time comes, I will cause a small disturbance to draw away the school guards, and you will follow my plan. Seize the opportunity to approach that orange giant sphere and secretly resonate with it.”
“T-That’s not good, isn’t it? Didn’t Elus say not to conflict with the school?”
“So, we have to do it secretly! Secretly, do you understand? Anyway, no one would expect a successor of the Fiery Abyss to come here. As long as we make some arrangements, no one will discover us.”
“I-I understand.”
Actually, when Lonis was a Hero, she rarely did illicit things like breaking and entering or lock-picking. (Except for opening treasure chests in villagers’ houses, of course.)
So, having to secretly break the rules this time made the silver-haired girl somewhat afraid.
After all, Senior Zhisheng Luo had prepared for so long and failed. Would she also be discovered and expelled from school?
Lonis’s fearful expression naturally fell into Elus’s eyes.
“Hmph, Lonis, I’ll tell you in advance… If you fail, or if you don’t act because you’re scared, I will make you taste a torment worse than death.”
“Yi?”
“I will lock you in a travel case and activate the toy every day, so that even if your whole body is sweating, or you’re screaming in agony, it won’t stop!”
“No, don’t! I understand, I will try my best.”
“Hmph, that’s more like it.”
