Chapter 200: Falling Star Lily
Chapter 200: Falling Star Lily
"What's wrong, Daniel-san? Is there something on your mind?"
In the new week, Lilith stretched her arms to warm up before class, looking at Daniel, who had a bruised and dazed look, with a calm face.
While the other party was still in a daze, Lilith started talking to herself.
"Are you disappointed?" She turned around in front of Daniel, showing her intact and healthy body.
"Honestly, I'm disappointed too. I thought you were a warrior at least, but you turned out to be just a shady rat."
Daniel looked toward the sidelines, but Mr. Wolfe didn't look over.
"Why did you...?"
At this time, a blue-haired man passed by with one hand in his pocket and a sword in his hand, and Daniel finally realized.
“It’s you! The sea folk are really unreliable!” He stared at Lucas and spat viciously, “Traitor!!!”
"You didn't pay me for my work, sir." Lucas made a sword move nonchalantly and sighed.
"How much did she give you? Double?" Daniel's pig face moved closer and asked in a sinister voice that only they could hear.
Lucas had a bad feeling and raised his hand to interrupt him, but -
"Can't I afford four hundred gold coins? Or are gold coins that come out of women's hands particularly fragrant?" Daniel's gaze kept shifting between the two of them, filled with malicious speculation and contempt.
"So double is only 400?" Lilith looked at Lucas beside her with a half-smile. "I'm not good at math, so I thought it was 500."
Lucas immediately stopped putting his hands in his pockets to try to be cool, and held the sword in both hands, hesitating for a long time without saying a word, and finally ran away quickly under the pretext of being called by his classmates.
"It was you yesterday, no, it was you all!" Daniel looked at the person opposite him, his eyes full of hatred.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Lilith scratched her ears. She was like that. She would follow the rules for those who followed the rules, but if the other party broke the rules, she could temporarily abandon the red tape.
"You said I was a rat, and you attacked me from behind. What's that? Does Lady Catherine know that you are such a vicious woman?"
Lilith looked away silently. Not only did she know, she also kicked you a few times!
"After saying so much, are you afraid to fight me?" Lilith pretended to be impatient and changed the subject guiltily.
Daniel was so angry that he could not stand such provocation and immediately drew his sword. "Oh, you are just--"
"Oh!"
The other students in the distance only heard a noise, turned their heads and saw Daniel fall heavily, raising a cloud of dust on the gravel ground.
——Why is she getting faster again! ! Daniel uttered a low curse.
"But what? Speak louder, it's too far away and I can't hear you." Lilith deliberately covered her ears with her hands, pretending to listen.
……
"I say, you really don't want to go to Intina County with us?"
In the Rose Building, Lulu shook Lilith's arm, trying to impress her.
"Yes, Lilith, haven't you heard the rumors? It is said that a large number of star lilies suddenly appeared near the Jangorod Bridge. It is a magical plant that has not appeared for a long time. It is said to be related to the changes in the stars. Many seniors have said that they want to go there. Everyone can take care of each other."
Sean also tried hard to encourage Lilith.
"Why are you suddenly so passionate about botany? Normally you're even reluctant to accompany me to the greenhouse." Lilith wrote and drew on the paper indifferently, but when she felt something was wrong, she crumpled the paper into a ball and started drawing again.
"Hehe, I heard that there is always a beautiful female elf appearing near the Falling Star Lily of the Valley. Wherever she goes, lilies of the valley bloom. How romantic..."
"...I don't want to go anymore. You'd better not go either." Lilith didn't even raise her head. "I've seen this kind of scam many times. When you get there, they'll ask you to pay for the ticket, and then you'll see a bunch of ordinary lilies of the valley, and no beautiful women. The manager will even say that it's not your destiny yet."
"No, that's impossible... All the shops in the city have put up the Falling Star Lily of the Valley." Some people didn't quite believe it.
"How else can we get people to travel, silly child? We have to put out some big bait." Lilith sighed and added a few more strokes on the paper.
"What are you drawing, Lilith?" Lulu couldn't shake her, so she leaned over and laid her head on her shoulder and asked. At a glance, the paper was full of messy little squares.
"Uh, I don't know either..." Lilith thought hard but to no avail. "Forget it, let's leave professional matters to professionals!"
……
"jingle--"
"Welcome, are you - are you skipping class?"
The doorbell rang as a customer came in. Mrs. Terra, who was hiding behind the counter and smoking, was thinking about greeting the customer when she found out that the customer was an acquaintance.
"I came here only after completing my training. How can this be considered skipping classes?" Lilith said confidently, looking at the many lizard creatures that she had not noticed before.
"I can't sell things to the students I'm teaching, you know that, right? That would involve bribery! How about... come back next year?" In the past, Mrs. Terra would have come forward to sell enthusiastically, but this time she was very principled.
"I know, teacher. I just have some questions and can't wait to ask you in class in a few days." Lilith took out the abstract painting she had drawn and placed it on Mrs. Terra's counter.
"You are very knowledgeable, can you help me see what kind of lizard or snake scales these are?" Lilith asked seriously.
"I didn't expect you to be a child who loves research. How about your gargoyle? Why don't you bring it to me to see?" Mrs. Terra put down her pipe, picked up Lilith's painting while chatting, and then frowned.
She was a little presbyopic, but because she loved beauty, she refused to wear lenses which seemed bulky and stupid to her. She had to hold the drawing paper far away and frowned in the light.
Lilith waited quietly, but she could feel her heart beating rapidly - please, it must not be a lizard!
"This is - where did you see it?" Teacher Terra put down the paper and looked at Lilith suspiciously.
"Just... some handwritten travel novels or something, with some incomplete illustrations in them..." Lilith pointed at her fingers and made up a story.
"Did you bring your textbook?" Teacher Terra suddenly asked.
"Ah? I've brought it!" Lilith was now numb to gold coins. The dwarves had built a lot of storage spaces under her workshop. She asked a magic pattern master to draw a magic lock on the lowest level of the space and used it as a vault. She cleared out most of the currency in the ring and only put in daily necessities, of course, including books.
"Open it, flip it backwards, keep flipping it..." Teacher Terra directed her.
Lilith looked at Teacher Terra's expression and turned to the last few pages. Those were the pages of biology printed at the end of the magical biology textbook that she had not had time to turn to when she was absent-minded in class.
