Did the villainous professor survive today?

Chapter 78 The Changed Death Threat

The two followed the knights into the city.

The headquarters of the Valiant Knights is located on Green George Street in the Lower Town. Due to its proximity to the Upper Town and the presence of the Knights, the street appears relatively clean and tidy.

Also because of the Knights Order, residents living nearby in the lower city were more willing to trade in this place, and over time, this street developed into a bustling commercial area.

"Figs big enough to fill your mouth! Come buy some, come buy some now!"

"These citrons from the south are sweet and beautiful!"

"A rare find—the smoothest and most tender oysters!"

"Water celery! Water celery!"

""

Krenk and Sistine entered the Knights' headquarters.

After removing their knight's armor and changing into light blue dresses, Sistine and Krenk went to a terrace on the street for a meal.

Today's lunch is seafood rice made with shrimp, clams, octopus, mussels, and scallops.

Krenk chewed on an octopus tentacle and asked casually, "Just the two of us, how do you plan to investigate this?"

He needed to inform the others in the organization so they could prepare in advance.

Otherwise, if Sistine really finds out something, it will be difficult to explain to the organization.

"Do you have any thoughts?"

Sistine countered, fiddling with the paella in front of her with her silver fork, unsure of what to do.

"It's not too late to discuss it later. I can talk to the principal about it later."

Krenks pondered before answering.

"Big brother, would you like to buy flowers?"

A soft voice came from the side.

Kroenke turned his head and saw a little girl dressed simply, with patches of various sizes, holding a flower basket and standing next to him.

The flower basket was filled with colorful flowers, and there were still dewdrops in the stamens, so they looked like they were just picked today.

Those tiny eyes kept glancing at the food on Krenk's plate, swallowing hard, looking rather greedy.

Krenk was taken aback when he saw the little girl in front of him.

He remembered his past life.

After get off work, he went to a newly opened restaurant nearby for dinner. The owner's daughter, a little girl who was less than half his height, was also in the restaurant.

The little girl looked at him and called him "uncle" instead of "brother".

At that moment, he suddenly realized that those years he could squander would never come back.

But now, hearing the little girl in front of him call him "big brother," that feeling of loss seems to have returned.

The wonderful feeling of finding what was lost filled Krenk with joy: "How much?"

"One cent each," the little girl said, holding up the flower basket with both hands, only reaching as tall as Krenk who was sitting. "Mom said that four cents can buy five flowers."

"I bought them all."

Kroenke handed the little girl a silver coin worth one pound.

In St. Auster, 1 pound is equal to 1000 cents.

The little girl stared at the one-pound silver coin in front of her, then shook her head, her two braids swinging like rattles: "Big brother, I can't make change for so much money!"

The little girl returned the one-pound coin to Krenk, saying, "My mother said we can't just accept change that doesn't come in!"

"What's your name?"

"Diana".

"Do you often sell flowers here?" Krenk asked.

"Yes." Diana nodded vigorously. "Mom said that there are knights here to maintain order, and if I sell flowers here, I won't be kidnapped by bad adults."

As she spoke, Diana looked across the table at the riverbank opposite.

On the other side, in the same downtown area, but separated only by a river, the scene is completely different.

The street across the street was a den of iniquity; the houses were dilapidated, and prostitutes leaned out of second-floor windows, beckoning customers and displaying their alluring figures.

Homeless people and pickpockets huddled at street corners, watching menacingly. In the intricate network of alleyways, the sounds of gang fights could be heard from time to time.

Further back, the factory spews out black smoke 24 hours a day, and a rumbling sound can be heard intermittently inside, like an ancient dragon snoring in its sleep.

That's the real downtown area.

Krenk stared at the scene across the river, remained silent for a few seconds, and then turned back.

He patted Diana's head: "It's okay, Diana. Next time your big brother comes, you can give all the flowers you have to him, okay?"

"Thank you, big brother." Diana bowed deeply to Kroenke, then, after a moment's thought, left the flower basket with him as well.

"Remember to call me 'big brother' next time we meet!"

Kroenke extended his little finger.

"OK!"

Diana also extended her little finger and hooked it with Krenkla's.

Then, clutching the one-pound silver coin in her little fist, she ran off.

Sistine tilted her head slightly, staring at Krenk: "You seem to be in a good mood~"

"It's pretty good."

"Do you like girls?" Sistine asked meaningfully.

"Does that mean I like men?"

Kroenke smiled.

Sistine angrily kicked Krenk under the table.

After the meal.

Krenk and Sistine strolled along the riverbank, digesting their food.

A surprised voice came from behind: "Professor Krenk! You're here too!"

-

Krenk turned his head and saw a girl with long light blue hair and light blue eyes.

"Adele?"

Krenk was stunned.

It wasn't that I was surprised to meet her here, but rather that there was another girl with bright red hair standing next to her.

Meiwen.

However, her hair was slightly frizzy and looked unkempt, and the emerald green color had lost its luster. The sharpness in her gaze towards Krenk had also disappeared.

What's even more noticeable is the thick dark circles around her eyes, suggesting she hasn't been sleeping well these past few days.

Krenk was very familiar with this aura from his previous life.

This is called "class flavor".

"Do you two know each other?"

"Of course! We're best friends!" Adele hugged Meiwen's arm, still as vibrant as a cornflower. "Teacher, let me tell you, Meiwen knows the Lower Town so well! We get up at five every morning and have been exploring the Lower Town together for days! We don't go back until eleven or twelve at night! And what's more! Meiwen has told me so many little-known facts about life."

"She paid me to be a tour guide in the city center."

Mei Wen said in a helpless tone that she didn't know if it was because she saw her enemy and was in a bad mood, or because she was annoyed by the overflowing enthusiasm of her customers as a working person.

Judging from the almost suffocating smell of the babbling leishmania, Krenk guessed that the reason was the latter.

"What do you mean by 'paying to hire'?!" Adele puffed out her cheeks and punched Mayon's shoulder. "That's called a friend's fee!"

"Yes—yes—yes—"

Mei Wen still looked utterly hopeless, even her speech was halting and slurred.

It was probably the first time I'd been worked like a slave by clients, tormented to the point of exhaustion.

Have you finished the homework I assigned?

Krenk asked.

"ha?!"

Adele suddenly gaped, clutching her hair, her face pale. "Oh no! My homework!"

Then, she looked at Meiwen and said pleadingly, "Meiwen! You were the top scorer in the entrance exam, you should know how to use 3D magic circles, right? Will you save me?"

7

"No, I don't know how to use three-dimensional magic circles."

Meiwen's voice sounded as if she were about to die.

"No, you can! You definitely can!" Adele shook Mayun violently. "I heard from others that you learned it on the very first day!"

"No, I can't—"

Meiwen's soul was almost shaken off by Adele.

"I'll give you more money as a friend's fee!"

"No—I don't want the money anymore—" Mei Wen looked emaciated; she was only there to earn money, not to risk her life.

"No! You can! You can! Let's go to the training base quickly!"

Adele shook Mayon as she hurried toward the Upper City Academy.

"They're so enthusiastic!"

Sistine watched Adele and Mewtwo's figures gradually disappear into the distance, feeling somewhat sentimental.

Krenk frowned slightly as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

With that innocent look, she probably isn't "L," she's just here to study.

Then, after staring at Adele for more than ten seconds, a line of text slowly appeared in Kroenke's eyes.
