Chapter 173 Little Ginny Finds His Mother
They ran to the teachers' office, and strangely, many more veterans appeared along the way. Victoria was nowhere to be seen in the office.
Could it be in the faculty dormitory?
"Miya Xing, Oupa, you've come at the perfect time." Just then, the principal's office door opened, and they passed Situ Lang to see Wukenana and Wulala, who were already inside.
"us?"
"Didn't you come because of Elder Kendrick and Elder Os?" Situ Lang looked puzzled. "I heard some noise outside and was just about to ask someone to call you over. Oh, this news is really terrible."
What terrible news is there?
Since returning to the Moe Academy last night, Miya Xing and Ou Pa have been carrying a bunch of books from the library. They attended a Moe Knights meeting along the way, and otherwise spent their time in the arts classroom researching ways to restore Maria's voice. They haven't paid any attention to what's happening outside.
Ukunana's eyes were red-rimmed, and she shook her head slightly at them.
"Please go and find the other two cute knights for me. We have something very important to discuss now."
What is it that you've been so reluctant to say?
The two went to find Eric and Genny, completely bewildered, and saw many veterans on guard duty along the way.
From the students' anxious discussions, they pieced together what had happened.
—The Heavenly Prison was attacked, and Elder Oss escaped.
Why would anyone attack the prison? Elder Oss left with the veterans on his own initiative, so how could he have escaped?
With everyone in the principal's office present, Situ Lang slowly recounted the events: "Last night, Victoria's dark curse activated, causing her to break into the Heavenly Prison and attack Elder Ken. Elder Ken..."
The harsh reality made him choke up and unable to continue. He only continued when he felt the atmosphere was right: "Alas, Elder Os escaped in the chaos. I'm worried he'll come and steal the Black Magnetite and the Dark Moon Stone."
"Stealing the Black Magnetite and the Dark Moon Stone?" Eric had just concluded in the attic that Principal Situ was likely to have betrayed the Quark Clan, and now Principal Situ suddenly said that Elder Kendouji had been murdered. Eric felt a sense of unreality no matter how he listened to it.
"Is the black magnet... the same as the Moonstone that was inside Ukunana before?"
"The Dark Emperor possesses five spirit stones: the Moonstone, the Black Magnet, the Reincarnation Bloodstone, the Tataruru Stone, and the Haiti Stone. The Black Magnet is guarded by the Elders' Council, and to obtain it, one must possess a key that only the Principal of the Moe Academy can obtain," Situ Lang explained to the Moe Knights after observing their performance.
Judging from their appearance, Osgeida hasn't found them yet, and they probably don't suspect them because of that "Si".
"I suspect that Elder Oss was resentful because the Moe Warriors' plan had failed, and wanted to steal the Black Magnetite and the Dark Moon Stone, taking advantage of the situation..."
"impossible!"
A furious shout interrupted him before he could finish speaking. Flame King stood at the office door, and Jimmy beside him couldn't stop him at all.
"Elder Os has already told me that he is prepared to let go of past hatred and would never steal those worthless stones for revenge!"
“Flame King, we all know about your relationship with Elder Oss. Please calm down.” Situ Lang wasn’t worried about being questioned by Flame King at all. “Have you considered that Elder Oss might be deceiving you?”
"Elder Os would never lie to me!" He rushed forward, wanting nothing more than to beat Situ Lang up, but was blocked by several cute knights.
Looking at them in disbelief: "You don't believe Elder Oss either?"
“Flame King,” Eric said in a gentle yet serious tone, “it’s the time for the Magic Knights’ meeting. According to school rules, you shouldn’t have barged in.”
"you--"
"Alright, alright," Jimmy found an opportunity to pull him aside and whispered in his ear, "Let's leave first, otherwise you'll break school rules and get locked up in the detention room. Do you expect me and Xiaofengfeng to save Elder Os?"
"I..." I really can't count on them.
Let's leave it at that for now!
Situ Lang was startled by the glare the Flame King gave him before he left.
His heart pounded wildly. He composed himself and tentatively asked, "Do you know where the Moonstone is kept?"
The adorable knights shook their heads in bewilderment.
They were indeed unaware that, in their recollection, the Dark Moon Stone had long been handed over to the Elders' Council.
Situ Lang was disappointed, but it was within his expectations.
If we can't find the location of the Dark Moon Stone, let's just find a way to deliver the Black Magnet to the Dark Emperor.
Osgeda's escape is definitely aimed at me. Given his personality, he will definitely come to the Moe Academy to try to steal the key to the Black Magnet.
Since that's the case, we can make good use of this and get the black magnet into our hands without anyone noticing.
“I’ve made my decision,” he said, looking at the Cute Knights. “I will entrust the only key that can obtain the Black Magnet to you Cute Knights for safekeeping.”
For the rest of the time, they discussed at length how to keep the key safe.
As she left the principal's office, Ukunana's unease grew stronger.
"Did Grandpa really pass away as Principal Situ said?"
If Elder Situ is the traitor, as they speculated this morning, and the Elders' Council likely knew about it long ago, then why did Grandpa still get into trouble? And why did Principal Situ entrust them with the key to the Black Magnet...?
Could it be that all their speculations are wrong?
"Ukunana, calm down..."
“I can’t calm down!” she interrupted Eric, gripping Ulala’s hand tightly as if only that could keep her from collapsing. “Ulala and I have been raised by our grandfather since we were little. It’s so rare for the three of us to be reunited, I…”
Grandpa was imprisoned because of her. If something really happens to Grandpa, she... she doesn't know what she will do...
"The Elders' Council's notice only said that the Heavenly Prison had been attacked, but it didn't mention Elder Kendrick's life or safety. That damned Situ Lang might just be trying to interfere with your efforts to defeat the Cute Knights." The first victim, Ginny, gritted her teeth.
If Miya Xing hadn't noticed something was wrong with him, he would have been preparing to go into the underground sewers alone to rescue Maria's mother!
"really?"
“Yes, yes, sister, think about it. Grandpa seemed so relaxed before he left, and he even told us not to worry about him,” Ulala lowered her voice. “Could it be that Grandpa actually knew everything all along, but couldn’t say it?”
Ou Pa added: "Regarding the Elders' Council, Principal Situ is our only source of information. We can't trust Ukunana too much."
The only thing I can't understand in this whole thing is the key that Principal Situ personally handed to them.
However, in any case, besides taking turns guarding the key, the most important thing now is still Genny's mother, Maria, but unfortunately, we can't find Teacher Victoria anymore.
Who else can we turn to?
……
Genny's schedule is very simple.
The meeting was awe-inspiring.
He was about to confront Situ Lang when he was stopped.
I was getting ready to go and keep Maria company when Head Nurse Da Tian Tian called me away.
I was about to go find Maria's mother for the second time when I was called to the principal's office for a meeting.
Finally, they found Maria's mother—and realized that their presence was somewhat superfluous.
And finally, because he wanted to spend the day with his mother Maria and take over the shift guarding the black magnet, he chose the night.
But isn't that a bit of a stretch?
In order to seek revenge, he broke out of prison and stole keys and stones.
I idly fiddled with the box for a bit, opened it and glanced at it, but didn't see anything special about the key.
Is there no other way besides this key?
Can't I even learn something like lock picking?
Or is there some unique magic on this key that only it can open?
Under Eric's warning look, Genny reluctantly put the box back.
