Cloud Thinking

Without the initial confrontation, everyone wanted to give each other a big hug when they met again. Even Mirang, who had always been unhappy with Helia, was particularly enthusiastic and made room for her and invited her to sit over.

The current situation is that there is only one remaining skinny wolf roasting on the fire and eleven hungry people sitting around the fire to keep warm. There is definitely not enough food to share. If it were someone else, after seeing Helia and the others, they might be wary and afraid that these people would come to share the food and snatch it.

But Judith and the others didn't have this idea, because the wolf was originally shared with others by Helia out of kindness, and they were considered to have accepted her kindness. And from the messages they saw on the scarf, many teams had received help from Helia, which was enough to prove that Helia was not a bad person.

In this situation, if they continued to speak coldly and harshly to Helia, who had helped them twice in a row, it would seem that they were ungrateful and inhumane.

Judith took a quick look at the people in Helia's team. She knew them all, but this combination was a bit strange. She also didn't see Lydia, the little tail that always clung to Helia. Out of concern, she asked, "Where did you go? We met your people before, but then we separated. Didn't they meet up with you?"

"It's a long story, but they should still be alive. I just don't know where they are hiding." Helia replied simply, "What about you? Have you been attacked by the black magician?"

Winnie nodded and handed the small kettle in her hand to Helia. The kettle was warm, probably because she had been holding it in her arms.

"We had been hiding in that cabin. When we went out to look for food, we ran into your people. We realized that something was wrong and hurried back. We happened to run into three black magicians sneaking around the cabin. We worked together to get rid of them. For safety, we moved with the remaining supplies."

"So, Bailey, do you know what happened?" Judith asked. He didn't know why, but he always felt that when everyone was at a loss, Bailey should know something, and she would be the key to breaking the deadlock.

After all, no matter good or bad things happened, she would always be the exception, the accident, and it was hard to tell whether she was unlucky or lucky.

"Crazy Connie and Avril have reached a cooperation and entered an underground ruin here. I got the news before the game that the black magician might appear in Bellman. They must be coming for the things in the ruins." Helia explained simply, "The ruins are the mausoleum where the sky god is sleeping in the legend. We went in and found our teammates and met the great believer. We escaped death."

"Great believer?" Judith obviously knew what a great believer meant. He glanced at Helia and her group, but they were at most a little embarrassed and not seriously injured.

He wasn't cursing Helia and the others to death. He was just simply confused. The five of them had a hard time fighting against three not-so-high-level black magicians. How could they escape safely when they encountered a great believer of level six or above?

He didn't think the other party was letting him win. The biggest possibility was that Helia's group was hiding their abilities, and among them there was a magician who was as good as a great believer.

"It's Neytina. She's a traitor. The black magician was able to come in probably because of what she did." Beavis answered for Helia.

"Ah?" Winnie was shocked, because when they met Netina and her group, her left hand was broken, and she was so weak that she was about to fall to the ground without anyone to support her. She looked weak and pitiful. How could such a girl be the extremely cruel black magician in the rumors? And a great believer!

"We were deceived so badly. She looked so weak, but she could kill us in a minute when she wielded the spear." Karzer recalled Netina at that time and got goosebumps all over his body. He was so scared.

Before, because they were all healing magicians, and Karzer found some of himself in Netina, he took care of her deliberately. Even though he was a socially anxious person, he took the initiative to chat with her several times. Until Netina revealed her identity, he had a very good impression of Netina.

Who could have thought... that it was this girl who he thought was weak and timid, who almost took the life of his captain who was fearless and didn't even know how to write the word death.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Have you tried to contact the outside world?" Helia didn't plan to continue talking about this matter. She knew that if she continued, she would inevitably bring up Adalasis and her identity. Although it had been exposed, she still hoped to get along with them as Belei.

"I tried, but I can't get in touch with her at all." Mirang replied, pointing at Judith beside him. "Even Judith's high-level magic items don't work."

Judith also has some background, so it's not surprising that he can come up with high-level magic props. Perhaps Helia knew this and asked this question.

She summoned her wand and quickly chanted a spell in a low voice. Suddenly, a piece of image stone that had been hidden in the air appeared and fell into Helia's outstretched hand. She handed the image stone to Britney, "Britney, try to see if you can connect to the image stone I left for Teacher Levita."

"Let me try."

Ever since they knew Helia's true identity, Beavis and Donaldson felt more at ease. It was not only because of the sense of security brought by the eighth-rank great magician, but also because of what Helia's identity symbolized, which was the authority of the emperor. They thought that the teachers in the academy must be more anxious than them, and they must be eager to come in to save Helia and save them.

As for Mobicius, the screen had been black since Netina appeared, and they had no idea what had happened. After the screen was finally restored, they saw Helia and her group walking on the vast snowfield. Although one or two of them looked tired, fortunately they were all still alive, and no one was dead or injured.

Then they were seen meeting up with Judith's team, discussing how to contact the outside world.

"Levita, are you able to do this? Didn't you say that you have engraved the communication magic? Why can't we get in touch?" Mobicius was getting anxious here, but he didn't know much about these things. He could only watch Levita tinkering with this and that, but he couldn't get any results.

He even took advantage of the previous black screen to bombard the isolation barrier set up by the black magician. As the top fire magician in the entire continent, his combat power was beyond doubt. When other teachers were unable to make a crack in the barrier that was so solid, he directly blasted a hole as big as a boulder. Now other teachers were busy setting up a teleportation magic circle in the hole to pick up the students.

"Stop making noise! ​​I've told you that the connection is unstable. It all depends on luck!" Levita hated it most when someone was grumbling next to him while he was doing experiments. They were noisy even though they couldn't help. He suddenly missed Lydia. Not only was she quiet, but she also did a great job.

Damn it, could my little apprentice be trapped in there? I haven’t seen her for a long time! If these damn black magicians hurt my apprentice, I will tear them into pieces!!!

Just as he was distracted thinking about how to avenge Lydia, the image stone under his hand suddenly made a strange sound, "sizzling", and lit up with a faint yellow light. At this moment, in the projected picture, Britney was holding a similar image stone in her hand, which glowed yellow due to the injection of magic power. At this moment, the two image stones established a connection.

"Beleyi! Bellei! Can you hear me?" Mobichues shouted loudly first. Similarly, the same sound was heard in the image stone. Not only Levita heard it, but Helia who was trapped in the competition venue also heard it.

"Teacher? Teacher! Is that you?" Helia had never wanted to hear Mobichues' voice so much before. At that moment, she felt that the teacher's voice was like the sound of nature, and she was about to cry on the spot.

"It's me. How are you guys? Are you all right?" Mobichuys almost burst into tears. He usually disliked this disciple to death and wished he could go back in time and beat up himself for being so eager to take Helia as his disciple. But now seeing the child suffering, he felt sad. After all, she was his own disciple and he raised her with his own hands. How could he not have feelings for her?

"I almost died, but I'm not dead yet. When will you teachers come? If you don't come soon, I will really die!" Helia said hurriedly.

"It will probably take another half a day. We're already working on building the teleportation magic circle. We'll just have to hold on for another half a day." Levita said conservatively.

Although Mobichues blasted open the barrier separating the two places, the black magician destroyed the teleportation magic array between the two places. The competition venue drawn this time is particularly far away. Rebuilding a teleportation magic array that can span an extremely long distance is not an easy task. It is a huge project. It took the academy's talented people to build it in less than a day. If it were somewhere else, it would probably take several months or even years to build.

"Half a day?! We've been disconnected since the night before yesterday, and now it's been a day and a night, and we still have to wait for half a day?" Helia was shocked. It was about noon at this moment, let alone half a day, it would be dark again in four or five hours, and it would be even more dangerous by then. She didn't care, but she was afraid that everyone couldn't hold on!

"This matter is of great importance. We have invited the top leaders of the Magic Association and Grand Marshal Hawke to come. We also need to evacuate the people present. We really don't have enough manpower. We have tried our best." Mobichuis explained.

"Teacher, you are still guarding this broken image stone. How can you say that you are doing your best? Hurry up and get to work!" Helia was used to being disrespectful. Even in front of so many people, she dared not give Mobicius face, which shattered the little bit of pity that Mobicius had just felt.

He knew it! This bastard couldn't possibly talk to him nicely like this!

"Beilai, no one should beg like you." Winnie tugged at the corner of Helia's clothes and advised.

"Okay, teacher, I'm really dying. Please come and save us! You don't want to see me send off the young with white hair again, do you?" Helia pretended to be pitiful. Then, as if she had thought of something, she muttered, "Oh, no, teacher, you have no hair. I have white hair. It should be the bald man who sends off the white-haired man..."

This inappropriate remark suddenly made everyone, who had been tense all the time, relax and burst into laughter. Especially Mirang, he couldn't stop laughing, slapping his thighs wildly, looking like he was about to die from laughing.

They were happy, even Levita couldn't help laughing, but Mobicius's face turned black, and only his hurt world was fulfilled.

"Brat! Come back and see what I can do..." Mobichues only said this sentence at last, and the communication was cut off. No one knew why it was cut off. No matter how Britney tried to get in touch after that, she failed.

"Anyway, the situation is still good now. If we can hold on for another half a day, we'll be rescued. Don't let your guard down." Helia breathed a sigh of relief. After a day and a night of hard work, even with Kalzer's healing magic, it could only relieve physical fatigue, but no one else could help with the mental fatigue.

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first." Judith nodded, agreeing with Helia's opinion. Seeing the wolf meat sizzling as it was roasted, everyone's stomachs growled louder and louder. Instead of busying themselves thinking about how to spend the next half day, it would be better to eat first.

Although the wolf was skinny and had little meat on it, and there were many people sharing the food, everyone still got a small portion and ate with gusto. Mi Rang and the magic swordsman in their team felt like they were about to cry on the spot.

After the rest, Judith discussed with Helia and decided to go back together to the cabin where they met before. First, it was snowing heavily at night. Judith's team barely survived last night by hiding in the rabbit hole, but the rabbit hole was hidden. If the college came to rescue, it would be troublesome if they couldn't find anyone. It would be better to go back to the warm cabin.

They were now numerous and powerful, so even if more black magicians came, as long as they were not Netina and their number was not large, they would not need to worry too much; moreover, the wooden house was warm and conspicuous enough, so when the teachers came to look for people, they would probably give priority to searching the wooden house.

They arrived at the wooden house before dark. Fortunately, Judith deliberately chose to fight with the black magician outside the house, otherwise the house would have collapsed.

Entering the house, they could even feel the residual temperature. It seemed that someone else had moved in after Judith and the others left, but they had been gone for a long time. They simply cleaned up the house and divided up the work to take turns on duty. Helia and Judith were assigned to one group. When night fell, the two sat on the roof together, looking out at the vast and desolate snowfield.

"Beleyi." Judith suddenly called Helia's name. Helia didn't even turn her head, but stared into the distance with her chin on her hand and replied:

"what?"

"You are Her Royal Highness Princess Helia, right?" Although it was a question, it was said in a positive tone. Judith was a higher level of intelligence than Beavis. Even Beavis could sense that something was wrong, so there was no reason why Judith couldn't see it.

"Sometimes being too smart is not good. You need to learn to pretend to be stupid from time to time. This way you will live a happier life." Helia did not answer his question. She only said this, but it was actually an implicit response.

Judith just laughed, glanced at Helia beside her, and said, "Then you really don't look like a princess."

"Stop, I can't stand hearing that." Helia couldn't stand hearing that kind of talk at all. When she heard that, she would remember the experience of being beaten by Netina and almost being on the verge of death.

So where did Neytina go? According to Adalassi's appearance, she must have lost her. Neytina herself admitted that William Tanlis had given her a death order to kill Helia. But since she escaped from the ruins, she had not seen Neytina, not even the black magician. All she saw was a motionless corpse.

Helia was worried that Neytina was holding back a big move, but this did not rule out the possibility that she would learn that help was coming and would retreat with her men. However, Neytina's personality and William Tanlis's reputation as the evil goddess made this possibility almost impossible.

Perhaps Helia missed Netina too much, so when she really appeared in front of her, she felt that she had been abandoned by the goddess of luck. What she wished for always worked for the good but not the bad. How come the silent crow's mouth was so effective?

Before Helia could react, dozens of dark magicians came out from behind Netina and surrounded her and the entire cabin. It was obvious that they were going to wipe them out.

"Helia, I'll give you one more chance. Have a fair fight with me, or end it all in the way of a black magician." Netina seemed to have been seriously injured. Her face was pale and her thin body seemed like it could be blown away by the wind. But the spear in her hand flashed a sharp cold light in the dark night, making it difficult to connect the two.

Helia felt that she had heard the most ridiculous words in the world. She pointed at herself first, then pointed at Neytina from a distance, "I am a student who has just been exposed to magic for less than a year, and you are an eighth-level great magician and a close warrior. You call this upright?"

"I don't use magic, only this spear." Netina swung the spear on her back beautifully in front of her and said seriously.

No need for magic, just relying on physical skills?

Helia thought about it and felt that there was no other way for her to choose now. If the teachers could arrive in time, then she would most likely have a second way to go. But Helia felt that someone as calculating as Netina would not allow a third party to interfere in their duel.

"Your Highness, no." Judith grabbed Helia's arm and shook her head solemnly.

Although he had never seen Neytina take action, as Helia had just said, the eighth-level great magician was also a master of close combat. Even without using magic, his strength should not be underestimated.

And Helia's status is precious. If something bad really happened to her...

But Helia patted his hand twice to comfort him, and used the force to push his hand down, "Her target is me, I will fight her, there is no need to involve you."

Under Judith's worried eyes, Helia turned her head to look at Neytina, summoned her magic wand, and jumped from the roof to the ground as lightly as a bird. She walked to Neytina step by step, "Then let's bet our lives on each other and have a real competition."
