Chapter 152 Doris is missing?
It's eleven o'clock.

Phil and Anke returned one after the other.

Doris is the only one who hasn't returned yet.

The others also noticed this, and Benovia asked in confusion, "The market should have closed by now, has she left the camp?"

"What are you doing out so late?" Celia frowned. "Don't you want to go back to the dorm because of the bet?"

No matter how I look at it, this doesn't seem like Doris's style.

Although she's a bit of a sore loser, she won't run away directly. At most, she'll go out and sulk, then come back and say in a defiant tone that she'll definitely win next time.

“Something’s not right.” Celia rolled out of bed and put on her clothes. “Benovia, if the tutor comes, just say I went to the bathroom.”

Benovia was taken aback: "Are you going to find Doris?"

Celia nodded. "Of course. She lost the puppet exam, and according to the agreement, she was supposed to provide me with materials for ice-type puppets. How could I let her just disappear like that?"

Ross quipped, "You're lying."

Celia protested, "Where did I lie? Isn't this all the truth?!"

"You're clearly worried that something might have happened to her."

"Isn't it normal to worry about a classmate? Although I really dislike her, we're a team now, and it wouldn't be good for anyone if the captain died!"

"Hahaha." Ross laughed heartily.

Celia realized she had been tricked by Ross and glared at him angrily.

In reality, Cyria's expression kept changing after Ross interrupted her.

However, she still finished dressing, checked her equipment, and prepared to leave.

“I’ll go with you,” Phil suddenly said.

Celia turned around and said, "Phil, you're pushing yourself too hard. You should get some rest so you won't be unable to enter the ruins tomorrow."

Phil shook his head. "If we can't get in tomorrow, we can go in the day after tomorrow. But if something happens to Doris, I won't be able to forgive myself."

“I’ll go too.” Anke stood up, put on her glasses, and said seriously, “How can the captain leave us to go on an adventure alone?”

Benovia said, "Why don't we set off together? It'll be better if there are four of us so we can look after each other."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "I thought about it and realized that it seems to make no difference whether Doris is in the team or not; everyone has their place."

Celia wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right. If we can't find it, we can just find another captain. We have support, priests, warriors, mages, anyone can join us and we can continue exploring."

Despite their words, the group quickly organized their equipment.

Ten minutes later, everyone finished packing their equipment and quietly left the camp.

The school's camp was surrounded by a wooden fence, and instructors patrolled the area.

However, for Celia's squad, who had Ross's callouts, the patrolling mentors had no chance of detecting them.

Soon, they left the school's base and arrived at the mercenary market outside.

It was nearly midnight, and the camp was completely quiet.

All the mercenaries have returned to their tents or huts to rest and recuperate, waiting to continue their exploration of the ruins the next day.

By this time, the vendors had finished packing up their goods, which were piled up everywhere. Some were placed directly outside the tents, while others were placed inside the tents or huts, creating a raised dot.

This campsite mainly consists of camping tents, but also includes many wooden houses that were built only a few years ago. The Holy Magic Academy, on the other hand, is built with stone bricks and can no longer be considered a temporary campsite.

A cold wind blew, ruffling the girls' hair.

Everyone instinctively pulled their coats tighter around themselves. Anke looked around nervously: "The campsite is so quiet at night."

Celia looked at Benovia: "Still haven't you been able to get in touch?"

"No, neither the school's dedicated line nor the Protoss network can reach Doris. She is no longer within the Protoss network's coverage area."

If it's not within the Protoss network's coverage area, there's only one possibility—

They went inside the ruins.

The cold wind howled, the sky was dark, and strange sounds seemed to come from all around, as if mocking them for daring to come out in the middle of the night.

Anko approached Celia and Benovia, her voice trembling slightly: "It's so cold, I'm shivering from the cold."

Celia looked at her, pretending not to know, and said, "You can use magic to convert cold into fire magic, and it will warm you up after circulating through your body a couple of times."

"My body is special, so it's not very useful."

"Oh, so it's because of your special constitution. I thought you were trembling because you were scared."

"The word 'fear' doesn't exist in Anke's dictionary!" Anke retorted angrily.

Benovia looked at Celia: "Celia, which direction should we go?"

Celia pretended to ponder, but in reality, she was asking Ross in her mind, "Lord Ross, do you know where Doris is?"

Ross said, "The direction of the ruins is dangerous because the lighthouse operates at night. Be careful."

Celia said, "It's very likely the direction of the ruins. We can go this way to look, and if we can't find it, we'll come back."

Phil asked, "Aren't you going to tell your advisor?"

“We didn’t tell them to avoid being told not to come out,” Celia said. “But now that we’re preparing to head towards the ruins, we can inform our mentor so they can also participate in the search.”

Benovia raised the bracelet on her wrist and smiled, "I've already told Professor Abros and Mentor Elena. Let's go quickly, or they'll come out and stop us."

“Then let’s set off together. We don’t need to separate. I have a way to find Doris.”

Celia trusted Ross's judgment.

Therefore, her tone was very certain.

Ross felt that even if he deliberately said something wrong, the girl would still walk on without hesitation.

He didn't do that.

Although he didn't know where Doris had gone, and couldn't find her within the range of his mental scan, thankfully, the traces she left behind allowed him to roughly determine the direction she had left in.

That is, we went in the direction of the ruins.

“Doris was most likely in a bad mood and forgot the warnings about the dangers of going out at night, so she left the camp area,” Ross said. “It just so happened that she left the camp in the direction of the lost lighthouse, and that’s when the accident happened.”

"Was she drawn into the lighthouse?" Celia asked.

"Maybe so. You can look around for a bit first."

While they were talking, Celia was also exchanging words with the others. Before long, the four of them arrived at the entrance of the camp.

Intricate runes are now appearing on the ground outside the door, emitting a faint golden light.

"This is the camp's protective array," Celia said. "It can protect the camp from the lighthouse's influence at night."

As she spoke, she stepped through the gate, passed through the protective magic circle, and came outside the camp.

In an instant, the cool breeze turned into a powerful, icy storm, slapping hard against Celia's face.
