After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 451: 347, Lin Da: Lord Chancellor, I can really cure the Witch!_2

A Star Rank, taking down forty or fifty heretics?

According to Bailuo’s experience, among those dead heretics, at least seven were of Star Rank.

This kind of achievement, placed in Azure Sky Adventurers University, would be considered top-ranking.

Bailuo had some doubts.

Being able to single-handedly take down a Dragon’s Rest Tomb nest at Lin Da’s level, there were probably no more than five people capable of that in Azure Sky University.

As the headmaster of Azure Sky Adventurers University, even as a mascot, Bailuo felt a sense of belonging and pride. Deep down, she believed that the elites trained by the university could easily crush adventurers from small cities.

Lin Da shook his head and said,

“Headmaster, you’re thinking too much.

On my own, I couldn’t have taken down so many heretics.

There was one guy named Rhode, who I turned to our side, and he helped me kill some.

Plus, my teammates helped, and that’s how it was done.”

“Oh, that explains it,” Bailuo sighed with relief, her face regaining the composure of someone from a big city.

Only then did it make sense.

If Lin Da had single-handedly taken down so many heretics, wouldn’t he be comparable to Dark Shadow in his youth?

Her invitation to Lin Da would then become a joke; such a top-tier adventurer wouldn’t give a second glance to Azure Sky Adventurers University.

“The teammate you want to save, is it her? The headmaster recalls, her name is Monica?”

“Eh, your appearance…”

Bailuo’s gaze swept over, and she suddenly froze.

Monica swiftly retreated behind Lin Da.

“You! Stick your head out and let the headmaster have a look!”

Bailuo’s expression suddenly turned grave.

Only then did Lin Da realize.

Damn it!

He had forgotten that Monica had become a witch!

Bailuo was an official, and was implacable towards witches.

And harboring a witch, within the empire, was a tremendous crime.

In an instant,

the two moved around Lin Da in a standoff.

“Stop messing around, come over here, or the headmaster will execute you on the spot!”

Bailuo’s gaze turned icy; the aura of a Light Rank Adventurer surged out.

Monica, as if with a thousand pounds on a small pony’s back, grunted, her face turning deathly white as she knelt on the ground.

With frantic flapping, her small bat wings behind her tried to escape Bailuo.

But under the overwhelming pressure of a Light Rank Adventurer, heavy as a mountain, the flapping left only afterimages and was of no use.

In the dimly lit cave, the sword’s edge glinted with a cold sheen.

Bailuo held a pair of exquisitely elegant, azure blue rapiers in her hands.

Mysterious magic runes floated within the blades, like several leaves on a lake, stirred by a breeze.

The Legendary Weapon, [Twin Swords of the Lake Behemoth].

One of the pieces of equipment that Lin Da had given to Bailuo in the game.

But at this moment, one of the Dual Swords, with a faint killing intent, pointed its tip at his own throat.

“Step aside.”

Bailuo’s voice was cold.

On the matter of witches, Bailuo was extremely serious. She calmly looked at Lin Da and said, “The headmaster does not want to repeat herself, step aside.”

“I can’t do that,” Lin Da shook his head.

“Harboring a witch is a serious crime.”

Bailuo frowned and said in a deep voice:

“You are an excellent adventurer with great potential. Do you wish to throw away your future for one teammate?

I know you are in a tough position. As the headmaster, it pains me as well, but there’s no choice.

If we don’t take down the witch, many people will die because of witches in the future.

My friend, just…”

As she spoke, Bailuo’s voice grew softer, nearly inaudible to anyone but herself.

In her amethyst eyes, a hint of pain flashed. Her fingers gripping the swords unconsciously clenched tighter.

His gaze toward Monica became even more sympathetic.

Yet, even so, Bailuo’s sword edge remained unwavering.

Lin Da sighed and said,

“I can understand the headmaster’s good intentions. Indeed, witches are a very dangerous group of people; if left unchecked, they could cause massive casualties.

Some cities’ World Trees have even been devoured by witches turned into Catastrophe Beasts.

As you can see, my team member is now a witch.

But it is only ‘now.’”

Bailuo said, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“What I mean is, the contamination within a witch’s body is not irreversible. I have a way to purify their contamination!”

Lin Da bowed deeply and said, “I beg of you, Lord Headmaster, to keep this a secret for Monica! In no more than a year, I will have her restored to a normal adventurer!”

Bailuo thought he was going to say something important, but upon hearing this sophistry, rage turned into laughter, the immense Battle Qi surging from her petite body.

Causing the ground beneath Lin Da’s feet to fracture like a shattered mirror, cracks spreading in all directions!

Lin Da felt his bones creaking and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant.

In the game, Bailuo was usually silent, and once enraged, only she could stop herself.

Experiencing this little cat girl’s fury firsthand, Lin Da broke out in a cold sweat!

“Restore a witch to normal? Junior, do you realize what you are talking about? You don’t understand witches at all!”

Bailuo, with her eyebrows sharply furrowed, criticized in disappointment,

“On this continent, no one understands witches better than this headmaster.

And so, I am telling you clearly—contamination cannot be removed.

This contamination originates from the Demon King, a monster of an absurd level of 100.

Even the strongest Healer cannot resolve the contamination brought by the Demon King.

You say you can, does that mean you are more impressive than the legendary Healers?”

Bailuo’s cat tail flicked, creating a sonic boom as it whipped through the air!

“This headmaster hates liars. Now, step aside at once, or I will take both you and that witch away!”

“Whimper, captain, the captain didn’t lie, the captain could even cure Sister Lulu…” Monica retorted, suddenly recalling something and quickly covering her mouth.

Luckily, Bailuo didn’t notice her last sentence.

Bailuo’s smile became even more sarcastic, “The captain is a liar, and so are the team members. What so-called honorable adventurers, real or fake.”

Lin Da faced off against Bailuo’s sword edge, yet he refused to budge an inch.

“I am indeed no match for the legendary Healers. Compared to such a big shot, I’m like a quack outside the tavern, healing ‘plum diseases’ for Elf ladies. Whether I can fully eat depends on how hard the Beastmen brothers work.”

This crude joke did not amuse Bailuo. On the contrary, her face grew colder, and her gaze held a flicker of rage.

Did he remember the [White Cat Swordsman]’s preference wrong…

Lin Da rubbed his head with a headache. It seems that the one with a taste for lewd jokes was another cat girl…

He swiftly changed the subject, “In healing, I am not legendary, but in purifying witches, the legendary ones are not my match.”

“Junior, you’re too arrogant! This headmaster does not like arrogant adventurers, you’ve significantly decreased my opinion of you!”

Bailuo’s chest heaved violently, fueled by Lin Da’s pride and arrogance.

She spread her small hand, conjuring with the unique ability of a Light Rank Adventurer, [Hand of the Void], a three-meter-long, pale blue hand of light that slapped Lin Da aside.

It’s worth mentioning that although Bailuo looked angry, she controlled her strength to not cause Lin Da any real harm when striking him.

“You, stand still.”

Bailuo’s expression darkened as she took out a rope, ready to bind Monica.

At that moment, Lin Da let out a low growl, veins on his forehead bulging as he broke free from the Hand of the Void.

“What if I could prove this to you? Please Lord Headmaster, give me one chance!”

Bailuo said irritatedly, “You’re so annoying, don’t think just because you’ve killed some heretics and done some meritorious deeds, that you can be so presumptuous! I’m really about to start hitting you!”

How could the contamination spread by the Demon King possibly be cleansed?

If there truly was a way, then wouldn’t that mean… A painful memory flashed through Bailuo’s mind—the sight of herself wielding the Twin Swords of the Lake Behemoth and slaying a black mud dragon covered in tumors.

She had tried all sorts of methods and, ultimately exhausted, chose to give up.

Now Lin Da was telling her there was a way to purge the contamination of a witch.

In her ears, an invisible voice seemed to blame Bailuo—had she tried harder back then, could she have found the method Lin Da was talking about?

The childlike stubbornness within Bailuo’s heart refused to accept this cruel reality and adamantly denied Lin Da.
