Oak Academy.

【Flower Thorn Garden】Back Mountain.

Zhao Guangli walked slowly on the less traveled path.

Before, Zhao Guangli still had obvious resistance to Gu Xintong's plan.

The plan to seize the extraordinary items from the inauguration ceremony of Knight George Impace.

If he succeeds, this student council president, whom he doesn't know at all, will die.

If the ritual fails, death is inevitable.

Zhao Guangli did not have any grudge against George Impes, and they had not even spoken to each other. He always had a grudge in his heart about such things.

But in the current era, it seems that it cannot be brought in with the previous world view.

From the back mountain trail of [Flower Thorn Garden], you can see the mechanical behemoth-like existence at the center of the entire Oak Academy, the Steam Tower.

The steam tower stands in the center of the entire academy, towering into the clouds and exuding a terrifying aura.

Zhao Guangli still has doubts about the level of technology in this era.

People here use armor similar to that of the Middle Ages, and even use kerosene lamps, but they are able to use steam technology to create such behemoths.

Zhao Guangli stood on the path, his expression calm and silent.

"The steam tower is not only a stable source of power, but also the administrative center of the entire Oak Academy."

Beside Zhao Guangli, Gu Xintong, wearing a white long-sleeved uniform, slowly emerged from the green with a slight smile on his face.

"The principal, as well as the rumored extraordinary department of Oak Academy that specializes in teaching third-year students, are all affiliated with the Steam Tower."

Gu Xintong wore black-framed glasses and looked quite delicate. Her beautiful eyes looked at the tower, and there was a slight change in her eyes.

Zhao Guangli's expression was slightly complicated.

The encounter between Zhao Guangli and Gu Xintong was not a chance encounter, but a secret meeting at a location informed by Gu Xintong.

It was the message that Gu Xintong conveyed through the white note after the conflict between Zhao Guangli, Jike and Brown.

"Make an appointment at the back of the girls' dormitory..." Zhao Guangli looked at the group of short villas in the distance, and there was a strange scent of vegetation in the air.

"My favorite marigold grows on the back hill of [Flower Thorn Garden]." The girl looked into the distance with an indifferent expression: "Every July and August, it is its flowering period."

"Yes." Zhao Guangli's answer was a bit perfunctory.

Gu Xintong is usually cold and cold, but in private she seems to be more gentle in front of Zhao Guangli. Is this her true character?

Zhao Guangli didn't think much and followed Gu Xintong walking slowly on the path. He stared at Gu Xintong's small brown leather shoes and the white socks inside them.

Such a girl seems very good.

Zhao Guangli thought so.

"Did you do it on purpose today?" Suddenly, Gu Xintong, who was walking on the path ahead with his back to Zhao Guangli, said softly.

"What?"

"Brown's father's relationship with the Impes family."

Zhao Guangli naturally wouldn't say that he was just unhappy because of the red-haired man. He kept his face expressionless and nodded lightly: "Of course that guy can be used."

"The Impes family is one of the families that controls the underground forces in the central neighborhood of Black Iron Castle. It indirectly or directly controls the hub of the city. Starting with that guy is a good choice."

Gu Xintong gently flipped her short black hair with her fingers, but Zhao Guangli had no way of observing her expression.

"But..." Gu Xintong's eyes moved slightly.

"It's a good thing that the Impes family itself is not an extraordinary force."

"But during George Impes' extraordinary ceremony, the Impes family will definitely hire extraordinary forces to protect their family's new star."

"Brown is a piece of trash and cannot be used for anything."

Gu Xintong spoke quite directly.

Although Zhao Guangli's face was expressionless at the moment, he felt a little uncomfortable inside.

Isn't it?

It sounds like this Impes family is very scary.

Can two ordinary Oak Academy students really kill someone else's heir?

"A little difficult."

Zhao Guangli decided to tell the truth.

"Of course it's difficult. I was thinking about this too." Gu Xintong said with a half-smile on her face, "But today you gave me inspiration."

"Let's start with Brown Jonas."

Zhao Guangli's right eyelid twitched.

"I have already gone to find out that Brown Jonas's father is the spokesperson of the Impes family in the North District. The heavy industry in the North District is quite developed, and that is the industry to which the Impes family belongs."

"The relationship between Brown and George is not close, but at the same time it is not far." Gu Xintong looked straight ahead: "At yesterday's school party, Brown and George seemed to have a lively chat for a long time."

"You also know this?" Zhao Guangli clapped his hands, a little strange.

Gu Xintong turned around: "Because I was also invited, I am also present."

"The party was held in the [Manor], George Impace's exclusive villa, so I came to see you during the party."

Zhao Guangli nodded, indicating that he no longer had any doubts.

Almost no one would come to this kind of place, and the surrounding area seemed extremely quiet at the moment, so the footsteps of Zhao Guangli and Gu Xintong became more and more obvious.

"So, this is also the purpose of me looking for you today."

"Tonight, let's go to the Dark Market." Gu Xintong gently exposed her snow-white neck. It seemed that it was because of the hot weather. Her eyes fell on Zhao Guangli: "I happen to be short of ritual materials, so I can...

You have purchased them together."

"how much is it?"

Zhao Guangli had great doubts about this issue.

Gu Xintong's expression remained unchanged, with almost no emotional fluctuations visible: "Ten silver coins are enough."

The girl in front of him would give Zhao Guangli a cold feeling, even if she was standing in the sun.

This feeling is very strange, but Zhao Guangli is not disgusted with it.

Obviously, the risk factor of the robbery of extraordinary items led by Gu Xintong this time is extremely high, and Zhao Guangli, who is still unclear about this world, is not sure what to do.

Now it seems that this girl named Gu Xintong has a plan.

And as the curse intensified, at least Zhao Guangli couldn't wait any longer.

"There is something I still have to tell you first." Gu Xintong suddenly stopped.

"This morning, I was approached by someone who wanted to be my mentor."

Gu Xintong's voice was cold and gentle, spreading lightly in the air.

Zhao Guangli was stunned.

"Oak Academy, third-year teacher of the extraordinary department...Master Lu Lie."

"He found me, wanted me to be his student, and arranged all the materials for my extraordinary ritual."

On the forest path, Gu Xintong's expression was indifferent and calm, as if she was telling a story other than her own.

"I refused."
