Elise lowered her head and was still in a relatively bewildered state. Seeing this, Yang Ming smiled and said:
"Now that we have reached an agreement, without further ado, let's take you to visit the dormitory first. You need to move into the school building first, and then find a suitable time before you have the opportunity to enroll."
At present, I want to go directly to the magic academy to take classes, but there is still a lack of relevant channels, so I can only let Elise stay with me for now, and see if I can try my luck and find a breakthrough when I am active in the city in the next few days.
The very existence of Elise will cause strong interference in dreams, so try not to let her run around, lest it trigger any strange events.
"Uh... I think I need to pack my luggage first."
Her hands were empty at this time and she didn't carry anything. She must have put her things in the hiding place. Although she didn't think Elise had any property, it was still the place where she lived, so it was time to say goodbye properly.
"Okay, let me go with you to take a look. After all, you don't know where the dormitory I mentioned is. Don't worry, my arrangement today is to accept you as a student. Don't worry about running out of time."
Yang Ming explained all the reasons that Elise could think of, and now there was no need to refuse the kindness, so she said nothing more and turned around to lead the way in a certain direction.
[Yang Ming: Lesia, just continue to follow us in the dark and wait for the next order.]
[Lecia: I understand, Master.]
Just like this, I followed Elise all the way and came to a relatively poor residential area in the city. This place is far away from the city center and basically adjacent to the suburbs. I spent a lot of time, but fortunately I met her in advance, so now
There are still a few hours until morning.
Even in this kind of slum, the residents' houses are generally in the old style, and there is no problem in being used for housing. However, the deeper areas where Elise continued to take Yang Ming looked even more dilapidated. It was obvious that
It's just a ruin.
Many of the ruined buildings are unfinished and dangerous. They do not look like they would be normally inhabited. Basically, only homeless people can enter them. There is no effective sealing of the houses, and the safety is extremely low.
However, the place Elise chose to hide in was considered remote even in this area. Following her, she crossed the connecting ramps of several buildings and walked sideways through many alleys before finally arriving at her destination.
It has to be said that it is a quite hidden place. As soon as Yang Ming entered the hiding place, his vision suddenly became clearer as soon as he looked over.
This place is located at a high place, and the condition to enter it is that you must pass through several high-risk passages. There is one and only entrance, so it should not be difficult to block intruders.
The interior scene can be said to be quite simple. Sunlight shines through the collapsed ceiling. In the corridor or balcony area relative to the exterior, wooden boxes are filled with soil, and some plants are planted in them, all of which are edible.
In addition, there are also a lot of recyclable garbage piled up, which can be exchanged for some change, but the amount is relatively scarce. Near the wall, broken bricks and stones are used to build a stove, with wood burned into carbon.
, there are also some piled next to it.
After passing through the public area outside, Ai Xueer came to the only room with a door. She took out two wires from the pocket of her dirty clothes, manipulated the door handle, and quickly opened it.
After closing the door, she turned back and whispered:
"Please come in."
"oh?!"
After Yang Ming entered the room and saw the scene in front of him, he sighed and said,
"Do you always live here?"
The whole room was empty, with almost nothing. There were two very old quilts on the floor, which could be used as a bed and a sleeping set. Next to it, there was a box made of cardboard, which should be used as a table.
The ground was surprisingly clean and tidy, with no dust. It was not a big problem to sit directly on the floor. You could see the windows downstairs. They had no glass or metal brackets and were sealed by wooden boards, leaving a small hole for ventilation.
Hook a rope from a long nail at the top of the window, pull it to the other end and tie it to form a clothes hanger. Only two simple clothes of the same style as Elise's clothes were hung, but they were washed, dry-cleaned and very clean.
"Yes, I just found this recently, so I haven't organized it much..."
This answer is quite surprising. I thought Elise had been living in this hiding place for a long time. Why is she living a relatively homeless life?
Based on what we have learned before, Elise is currently an orphan whose parents have died, so she has no guarantee of life. However, logically, if she can find a place to live, she should not move away casually.
Unless other homeless people discover and forcibly occupy this unclaimed land, the places chosen by Elise should be as extremely hidden as this one, and it is impossible for anyone to find it.
Then, there is some more dangerous force that drives Elise, forcing her to live in a homeless place and change hiding places everywhere.
Judging from her lifestyle, the people who make Elise angry are probably small businessmen and hawkers. Theft of food because they don’t have enough to eat should logically not be anything other than scolding or fistfights if caught on the spot.
Keep chasing.
Moreover, Elise has a strong figure and agile movements. It is almost impossible for ordinary people to catch her, unless there is premeditation, but it is not something that the citizens would deliberately plan.
Then there is only one answer. This must be a plot deliberately set by the ancestor of magic. Since he wants to do this, there is no harm in forcing the change. Even if he is offended, it is a necessary measure to draw out the other party.
Now that things have happened, there is no need to avoid the plot direction of confrontation with the ancestor of magic. They are all on his territory, and they will meet him sooner or later. Yang Ming believes that related developments will soon be on the agenda, so now he will do something to arouse
There is nothing wrong with what the other party pays attention to.
It would be better to say that we should take the initiative. If we forcibly intervene in Elise's incident now, it will really lead to the ancestor of magic making a decision to pursue it intentionally, which is also a good method.
"Just prepare as you like..."
Yang Ming looked around and said,
"But there's nothing special you need to take here, right? We have all kinds of daily necessities in the school building, and I can also help you buy some new clothes."
"Thank you for your kindness. What I really want to take away is this."
Elise walked to the cardboard box in the middle and pushed it away. It was covered with a piece of loose masonry. She dug it out with her hands. There was still space inside, which seemed to be a groove fixed by wooden boards.
