Chapter 777: Chapter 770: Heading to the East City District

After sending off Cheng Ziang and Shariya, Luoer and his company unexpectedly found themselves with a lot of free time over the next five days. Tangmo and Baiyue attended classes every day and had to finish their homework upon returning, which was not much different from their life at Haiya Academy - in fact, it was even more strict.

Sacred Heart Magic Academy is an elite school after all, there is no such thing as a ’happy education’ here. Every student who successfully enters the academy is strictly educated, and will finally become a qualified mage.

Due to his race and physical condition, Luoer was essentially excluded from learning magic, and the same applied to Hu Daoke. Then there was Feng; she wasn’t part of the magic system of the Aels Continent, so she was not suitable for studying this kind of magic either.

The three of them could only languish in boredom in their dormitory each day. Luoer used to tidy up around the dormitory when he had spare time, but now that the academy had taken over meal preparation, he was effectively out of work.

"Hey, double cannons, checkmate!" As Hu Daoke moved one paper tile in front of another, he triumphantly said to Feng, who was overwhelmed by the game.

He, bored out of his wits, had folded some paper into tiles and made a makeshift chess game to get through the day with Feng. However, due to her unfamiliarity with Chinese and the rules of the game, she was on a twelve-game losing streak.

"Again, let’s go again!" Feng took a deep breath, then said with all seriousness.

Luoer watched the two, leaning against his hand. Seeing how serious Feng was, he guessed that it probably wouldn’t be long before she surpassed Hu Daoke, which would mean his carefree days would be over.

"That’s low, Feng, move your knight first!" After spending some time together, Fulajie’er was finally not as afraid of Feng as before and was currently teaming up with her against Hu Daoke.

"Wait wait wait, the knight moves like an ’L,’ not in a straight line!" Hu Daoke immediately corrected Feng’s rule-breaking move.

Unable to watch anymore, Luoer took action, moving Feng’s cannon directly to the center of the board. Seeing this, Hu Daoke stared at Luoer in surprise and asked, "Boss, whose side are you on?"

"Just keep bullying her. When her skills improve, you’re in for a rough time." Luoer shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Well, we’re just bored," Hu Daoke said casually while moving his pieces on the chessboard, "Boss, we can’t just stand by. How about going out for a walk?"

"Where could just the three of us go, Holy Heart City is pretty complex. There’s all kinds of characters there." Luoer said.

"Just the three of us is enough, look, we’ve got Feng and Xiao Fula too," Hu Daoke reminded.

"Don’t call me ’Xiao Fula’!!!" Fulajie’er protested indignantly once again.

"Well you’re right..." After hearing him, Luoer felt moved. Since they were doing nothing anyway, why not walk around the city a bit? They might even come across something good.

"Boss, you wouldn’t happen to be missing Sister Momo, would you?" Hu Daoke asked Luoer. He deliberately added ’Sister’ to distinguish her from the other Moumou.

"What are you talking about, Moumou is so busy these days, she hardly has a chance to come out with her sister." Luoer waved his hand dismissively.

"Boss, I get it, you still want to spend more time with Sister Momo. We are all men, and I can totally understand how you feel. It doesn’t matter to me who you like amongst the Tangmos, as in the end, you will be my brother-in-law." Hu Daoke said earnestly.

"Stop bringing that up." Luoer said with a bitter smile.

"But you have seen Sister Moumou’s dedication to study magic, you probably won’t have many chances to meet with Sister Momo this month, so let’s go out and have some fun. Plus, weren’t you thinking about checking out that Azita situation earlier? Now’s the time!" Hu Daoke urged.

"That does make sense..." Hearing his words, Luoer couldn’t help but nod his head. Of course, he agreed with Hu Daoke’s second argument.

"Let’s get going then!" Hu Daoke pounded his fist with excitement, then reached for Feng’s general chess piece and placed it on his own.

"OK, you’ve reigned supreme, General! Let’s get all tidied up and set off for our journey!" Hu Daoke said excitedly to Feng.

"You’re taking this so lightly!" Fulajie’er complained discontentedly.

"What do you mean? You guys truly won." Hu Daoke blinked his eyes, looking at the baffled pair.

"Luoer!" Fulajie’er turned towards Luoer defiantly.

"You’ve won," Luoer nodded, pointing out the clear path to the commanding ranks, "He revealed his weak spot for you to take. You didn’t know the rules, that’s all."

Humming a little tune, Hu Daoke took out weapons from the room and wrapped them up in cloth. It was a regulation of Holy Heart City that weapons had to be covered and not readily available; otherwise, the patrolmen would come to cause trouble.

Before leaving, Shariya arranged for them a carriage, like the last time. It could take them to the Western or Eastern District at any time and would wait at the designated locations for their return.

Since they were heading out, Luoer put on the contact lenses that could change the color of his pupils, and wrapped himself in a hood. This was to hide his half-elf features.

Taking into account the restrictions of Holy Heart City and Feng’s combat capacity, Luoer did not let her bring her porcelain long knife. Instead, he prepared for her a sharp dagger hidden on her person, ready for attack at any moment.

Feng’s magic formulas needed physical actions for mimicking, so she had to bring a weapon. Otherwise, she can’t cast those awe-inspiring magic formulas with her bare hands.

Of course, provided that it’s a weapon, its length does not actually affect the power of her magic formulas. The reason she prefers long swords or long knives is mainly because, aside from being a mage, she is also a swordsman.

"Fula, don’t show yourself when we’ll be entering the city, you’ll scare people," Luoer warned before they set off.

"Humph!" Fulajie’er grumbled discontentedly, indicating her agreement.

"Come on, don’t sulk. When we’re alone, you can come out," Luoer reassured helplessly.

"Keep away from me when you are walking on the street, I do not want to come into contact with those filthy souls. It disgusts me!" Fulajie’er grumbled.

"I understand, I’ll be careful," Luoer nodded in acknowledgement.

"Boss, let’s hurry up. Once Yue’er and Sister Moumou come, none of us will be able to leave," Hu Daoke reminded.

"Wait, I’ll leave them a note, so they won’t worry," said Luoer as he crouched down to write a note on the table.

Once all was in place, the trio hurriedly left the apartment building and came downstairs. Although it wasn’t raining, the weather was still damp. However, the Magic Academy paved almost all roads, so they weren’t too bad.

Clad in hooded cloaks, the three snuck to the designated place like thieves, where a special carriage waited for them. The coachman was fast asleep in a pile of hay.

After waking up the coachman, the trio boarded the carriage bound for the Eastern District. Crossing over a bridge leads from Uptown to the Eastern District. After crossing the stone bridge, they arrived amidst the hustle and bustle of the Eastern District.

As they stepped off the carriage onto the muddy ground, a damp and eerie smell hit them. This was a distinct scent that was a blend of all strange smells.

Despite the bad weather, the Eastern District was teeming with activity. Holy Heart City was a relatively international city in the north, and the Eastern District represented its cosmopolitan visage. Various races could be found here, including the Ancient States people who were once purged.

However, due to the Church Court’s high-pressure stance towards the Ancient States people, they are rarely seen here now. Even if they are here, they wouldn’t admit to being of Ancient States descent.
