Chapter 312: The Disappearing Demi-Human
The sudden appearance of the back attracted everyone's attention.
"Did someone come to save us?"
"This person looks familiar. Is he the supporter?"
"Wasn't he eaten by the monster a long time ago?"
Petra couldn't believe her eyes and rubbed them hard several times.
But that person was standing right in front of me, absolutely real.
"It's not an illusion, is it really Mr. Black?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Miss swung the knife lightly with a frivolous posture and great momentum.
The sword energy left a terrifying gully on the ground, and the mountain-eating crocodile was instantly split in two, killing it on the spot.
The astonishing momentum repelled the scavenger birds in the air and made them flee in all directions.
The group of mountain-eating crocodiles at the rear also stopped advancing and dared not move forward.
Before everyone could react to the resurrection of their supporter Blake, the battle in front of them was already over.
A wooden sword, a diagonal slash, and a fatal blow.
It was as if the mountain-eating crocodile was a piece of tender tofu.
“Ah… Is this still a supporter?”
"Can you kill high-level monsters with a wooden sword?"
"Could this be the hidden swordsman?"
After dealing with the mountain-eating crocodile opposite, Miss came to Petra and pulled her up.
"I don't have time to take you out of the dungeon, so you have to follow me for the next few days."
Petra, who was still immersed in shock, was suddenly struck to the heart by Miss's words that sounded like a confession.
The limp ear stood up instantly.
Her cheeks were burning and she stammered, "Bu, Bu, Bu..."
Mith wondered, "Don't you want to come with me?"
Petra shook her head violently, her voice getting smaller and smaller, "Mr. Black, my... my knife..."
After Mith placed the knife in her hand, she held it carefully in her arms.
"Mom said that only my future... future husband can touch my knife..."
Mith was stunned, "Uh... Sorry, I don't know."
Seeing the girl blushing and lowering her head, he felt a little embarrassed.
"So, you want to come with me?"
After hesitating for a moment, Petra nodded and whispered, "Yes..."
Just as the two were about to leave, some people could no longer sit still.
"What shall we do if you leave?"
"You have to take us with you. There are monsters all over the back and we can't leave."
"I can give you money, just name a price!"
The rich guys were preparing to take out their packages to show off their financial strength, but Fico and Rand were muttering something to themselves.
"He killed a high-ranking monster with one strike. He looks like a real hero, right?"
"Impossible, the brave man is a magician. Look at the way he used the knife just now, how could he be a magician?"
"No matter who he is, our retreat is now blocked by those monsters. We must go with him."
"Yes, he is the only one who can save us."
Just when the two were planning their plan, Miss spoke first.
"I don't have the time or energy to take care of you. You're on your own."
After saying this, he took Petra deeper into the cave.
Fico, Rand and the rich brothers looked at each other, and finally stood up and chased in the direction where Miss and the other man left.
They didn't dare to confront the monsters behind them head-on. One alone was so difficult to deal with, let alone a group of them.
Only by following those two people can there be a glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Black, they are following us." Petra reminded.
Miss didn't look back. "If they can keep up, they can survive. If they can't, they will die."
Petra asked quietly, "Where are we going?"
Mis thought for a moment and said, "Probably more than 80 floors."
"So deep?" Petra exclaimed, and then her voice became quieter. "Will we miss the assessment of the Judge team?"
"We won't take part in that assessment." Miss said firmly.
"Ah? No... I must become a member of the Judge team so that my mother can live a happy life." Petra hesitated.
"Where did your wooden sword come from?" Miss asked an off-topic question.
The fox-eared girl hesitated for a moment, but finally said what was on her mind.
"The knife has been at home since I was a child. My mother said it was left by an elder."
After hearing what Petra said, Miss no longer had any doubts.
"Remember the subhuman grandfather I mentioned before? I am now sure that you are the granddaughter he is looking for."
Petra's wooden sword is exactly the same as the old man's wooden sword in the dojo, and they have the same aura.
Mis's words stunned Petra, as if she had turned into a piece of wood.
"After I finish my business, I will take you and your mother back to Rezewitt City so that you can meet each other. I promised the old man."
When I casually agreed to the old man's request before, it was just to make him happy and give him some hope for the future.
From the beginning, Miss never thought that the old man's granddaughter was still alive.
But now that I have found her, I must keep my promise and take her back to recognize her ancestors.
"There are many subhumans living in Rezewitt City. There is no discrimination there. No one will capture you as slaves. You can live there peacefully."
The city of Rezewitt described by Miss is simply Petra's dream hometown and the place she longs for.
She really wanted to live in that city, but reality didn't seem to allow it.
"Mr. Black, if the Holy Knights find out that I didn't take the test, they might make things difficult for my mother. There have been precedents of this before..."
Hearing this, Miss's expression became serious.
Through Petra's descriptions over the past few days, he increasingly felt that there was something wrong with the Holy Knights' recruitment strategy for the sub-humans.
Not all of these demihumans controlled by the Holy Kingdom can join the church's knight corps.
Strict assessments will eliminate most of the demi-humans.
On the contrary, in the genius class where Petra is, almost all the demihumans in the class can join the [Judge] team.
However, due to the existence of the assessment, only one person in the class can be selected to become a member of the ace team every year.
And it seems that they are unable to serve for long periods of time, and will disappear without a trace within a year.
This is very strange.
The [Judge] team does not seem like the church is giving the subhumans a chance to turn things around.
It seems more like a form of exploitation, treating the sub-humans in the genius class as some kind of consumables.
The only thing that Miss doesn’t understand now is where all these disappeared demi-humans went.
Petra had no idea about this problem.
If he wanted to know the truth, he could only go through the top leaders of the Holy Knights.
"I'll find a way for your mother, don't worry."
