Chapter 518: Exotic Fruit

Although Qiu Tong explained to those people many times that she was a new student with great virtue and followed the principal to deal with the disaster zone. However, Cao Jinhua was dead and Ma Lu's origin was unknown.

The two of them were still detained in the security room for more than half an hour. Fortunately, the people from the Fu Master Association came half an hour later.

The visitor was a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue gown, a gray tile hat, saddle-style round glasses, a goatee, and carrying a suitcase.

He seemed a little surprised after seeing Ma Lu and Qiu Tong, but he still said, "Where is your principal?"

"Principal Cao was possessed by a shadow demon in the disaster zone and has... died," Qiu Tong said.

Her voice couldn't help but choke up when she mentioned Cao Jinhua.

Although she did not get along with Cao Jinhua for a long time, the girl was deeply moved by the latter's kindness and justice, as well as his meticulous care and concern for students.

Malu also said at this time, "I am not Principal Cao's student. I fell into the disaster zone by accident."

The middle-aged man with a goatee might have thought he was an ordinary person. Hearing this, he muttered, "Are those people in charge of security in the patrol room just for a living? They can't even guard the entrance."

Then he looked at Qiu Tong again, "How did you get out of it?"

"It's Mr. Ma, he..."

Before Qiu Tong could finish her words, Ma Lu snatched her away, "It was the two of us who killed the lord inside."

"Do you still know the lord?"

"Principal Cao probably told me." Qiu Tong couldn't help but said, "The monsters in the disaster zone happened to restrain Principal Cao's ability this time. He had asked for help from the outside world. According to regulations, the people of the Talisman Master Association will be here within four hours." We should have sent people into the disaster zone before now..."

"Rescue? The Disaster Response Bureau did not receive any relevant request for help," Goatee said decisively, "I guess Principal Cao remembered it wrong, or he burned the wrong talisman."

"Huh?" Qiu Tong felt that it was strange to burn the wrong talisman paper, but she was not a talisman master yet, and she didn't know that this kind of thing was not common.

Goatee was already stroking his beard and continued, "You killed the lord inside, did you gain anything?"

Malu showed a dark shadow, four green stones dropped by Cao Jinhua, and a fallen leaf made of light.

The leaves are falling from the ever-changing cherry tree.

Goatee first looked at the green stones and said, "According to the rules, you can keep the turquoise stones for yourself."

After speaking, he picked up the fallen leaf made of light and said, "I will make a rubbing of the material and keep it for your records, and I will return it to you later."

As he spoke, he opened the suitcase he carried with him, took out a thick notebook from it, placed it on the desk, and made some magic tricks.

The next moment, the notebook was opened to both sides, and the pages inside turned automatically without any wind. It was almost two-thirds of the way through the pages before finding a blank page.

Goatee put the leaf made of light on it, then took out his pocket watch and started timing.

A quarter of an hour later, he picked up the leaves again, and on the originally blank page, the cherry tree made purely of light that Malu and Qiu Tong had seen before appeared, and there was a blur of black under the tree. film.

As for the right side of the page, a line of small ink characters appeared - Cardcaptor Sakura.

Malu took the opportunity to ask, "What are these leaves and trees?"

After finishing an errand, Goatee seemed to be in a good mood, so he explained casually.

"The so-called disaster belts are caused by these strange fruits. No one knows where they come from and why they appear in front of us. At first, because people lacked understanding of them, they called them disasters.

“But in fact, according to the research conducted by the Talisman Masters Association in recent years, these strange fruits are more likely to be infected with some diseases, so they came here to seek our help.

"As long as we get rid of the diseases that infest them, well, those monsters you see in the disaster zone, especially the lords, you can get their gifts.

"Usually it's a leaf, bark, rhizome or something like that, which can be used as a material for making talismans.

"If you are lucky, you can get one or two fruits. They are of extraordinary value and have many wonderful uses for Talisman Masters."

Seeing the interest on Malu's face, Goatee snorted coldly, "Don't even think about the fruits. Since you have seen the exotic fruit trees, you should know that they are invulnerable to weapons, water and fire.

"So every time the disease is eliminated, you can take whatever it gives you. The fruits usually only appear in at least a level three disaster zone."

"That's it." Malu listened with interest.

"And since you said you're not a Talisman Master, you have no chance of picking up the strange fruit."

Goatee was too lazy to waste time on an ordinary person. He said a few words casually and then looked at Qiu Tong aside.

It turned out that the girl was in a daze.

After killing the black shadow Principal Cao, Qiutong also saw the cherry tree and tried to pick the fruit from the tree. As Goatee said, he couldn't pick it at all.

The cherry tree doesn't look big, but its small body contains amazing power. Unless it wants to, others can't take anything away from it.

After shaking off a leaf, the cherry tree looks ready to disappear.

Unexpectedly, before leaving, he was grabbed by Malu, who had sharp eyes and quick hands. Then Qiu Tong saw a knife suddenly appeared in Malu's hand.

He slashed at the root of the tree with one knife, and cut off the root very easily. Then he followed the same pattern, cutting off seven more roots in one go, and pulled the cherry tree back out of the void.

Throw it into the small translucent bag he was carrying.

Qiutong was shocked at the time, but she didn't fully understand the value of this move at that time.

It was not until she heard what Goatbeard said that she realized that the strange fruit came to humans for help, and in the end, the fruit and the tree were packed up and taken away by Malu.

Qiutong was still in a daze, but was awakened by a light cough.

"Qiutong, right? I saw the results of your test at the Talisman Master Association two months ago. Your Talisman Master qualification is only Ding level. I didn't expect that you could get rid of a lord of the second-level disaster zone this time."

Although Malu said that the lord was eliminated by the two of them, Goatbeard ignored him because he was an ordinary person.

He continued to say to Qiutong, "It stands to reason that your qualifications cannot be promoted to Xiayin, but it seems that you should be the kind of Talisman Master with excellent practical talent. I can recommend you. What do you think?"

"Ah, but I have been admitted to Houde." Qiutong replied.

"Principal Cao is gone, and it's still unclear whether Houde can continue to run. Even if Houde is still there, it can't compare to Xiayin. Although Xiayin is at the bottom of the Mingxia Group, it is still ranked in the top 100 among the colleges and universities of the Ministry of Education.

"And if you perform well in Xiayin, you can also transfer to Qingxia, Youxia, Renxia, ​​or even Haoxia and Mingxia schools. It's a rare opportunity."
