I'm not that kind of orc

"But the problem is that this mode of action is still a bit elusive. Triggering incidents in the academy, using black magic to take lives in the woods, it's almost like deliberately arousing our vigilance, I still can't think of doing it What is the significance of it?" Roland shook his head lightly, "But anyway, the matter is already like this, and we can no longer ignore it. Tonight, I am going to call the teachers from the branch school into the forest to investigate."

"What do I need to do?" I said seriously, this matter has the possibility of targeting me, and I don't want to stay out of it.

"You, and Arsena are all protected objects, just stay in your own dormitory and don't move around, just in case I will send someone to stay with you to protect you personally."

"I don't need protection!" I frowned, feeling a surge of anger starting to surge from the bottom of my heart.

Asking an orc warrior to hide behind someone else's back is simply a... humiliation!

"It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, Brock. But as I said, from your standpoint, you must not get into any trouble." Roland's expression was unusually serious, "Let go of your meaningless self-esteem and be cautious. Consider—this is what you need to do most now, and being brave is definitely not true bravery."

I looked at her for a long time, and gradually calmed down.

She's right that being brave doesn't mean being stupid.

Just like when I decided to protect the old chief and leave behind, the old chief chose to accept it. It was definitely not cowardice, but for the sake of the overall situation.

"...Okay, I understand." I replied with a deep breath.

"It's good that you can understand." Roland nodded, "I will also send someone to stay with Arsena, you can rest assured."

"Alsena... Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for the past two days, how is she doing now?" I still couldn't help asking.

"I installed a spirit watcher near her dormitory. She is basically hiding in her dormitory now, and she only comes out occasionally. She seems to be in a bad state of mind." Roland looked out the window, "It seems that her father's The decision hit her hard."

"...I really didn't expect her to have such a reaction."

"As I said, that child is actually very fragile. She can't bear much pressure at all. This is her weakness. It is precisely because of this that she will sacrifice her life and choose to pretend to be a man to inherit the throne." Roland Sighing, "Her father will never admit to this practice. This is caused by the child's own choice, and it can only be borne by her. We have neither the position nor the leisure to take care of her family affairs. You should also understand, right?"

"Yes..." I nodded, turned my thoughts back to the incident, and suddenly thought of a question, "Wait a minute, Roland, did you just say that you would send someone to stay with me?"

"Yes."

"Who here would want to take on such an errand!"

The elves here basically hate me to death.

"Of course someone is willing." Roland smiled, "It was the girl who asked for it on her own initiative."

When I got back to the dormitory, it was completely dark.

Opening the door, the scene in front of me made me raise my eyebrows: "Huh? You two..."

"Brock, you're back." Angelica who was sitting at the low table turned to me and greeted me calmly.

I'm used to seeing her here, it's just...

I moved my gaze to the other side of the low table, and said to Feilan who was sitting there, "You're here."

Feilan didn't intend to reply at all, she just glanced at me, and she took it as a greeting.

"Okay, are you...following or not." Angelica turned her gaze back to Feilan and said slowly.

"Of course! I'm afraid you're a puppy!" Feilan slapped the table imposingly.

I looked at the table and saw that the low table was covered with several cards—some kind of game that seemed to be played in this country.

Feilan picked up a coin and tossed it once: "Nails, you declare first."

"My cards are...a pair of main gods and a pair of mages." Angelica announced calmly.

"Hey! You're a liar, how can you get the magic card every time, doubt it!" Feilan shouted, staring at her.

"Then it's your turn."

"I am..." Feilan obviously hesitated, "Three magic cards and a pair of knights."

"..." Angelica narrowed her eyes without saying a word and observed Qi Feilan's face.

Feilan's expression tensed up: "Hey girl, this is a magic card with three times the odds. It's better to advise you to bet, for your own good."

"Lie! Question." Angelica made a decision.

"Hi!" Feilan visibly panicked.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, since both sides are questioning... Let's turn over." Angelica said, turning over the cards in front of her one by one, "I am indeed a pair of main gods, plus a pair of mages. , if you fail in questioning, if you lose, you will pay twice as much."

"How is that possible!" Feilan wailed.

"Hurry up, too." Angelica said, staring at Feilan.

"I... I'm really a god-inspired card type, I'll give you another chance to think it over carefully..." Feilan shifted her gaze to one side.

"Don't struggle to your death..." Angelica got up from her seat and leaned over, and quickly turned over the five cards covered in front of Feilan one by one, "Look, it really is It’s a miscellaneous card, there is not a single magic card. You lose again, and the payout is doubled, don’t forget.”

"Hey, you're definitely out of luck!" Feilan slapped the table angrily, "There's no doubting it every time!"

"You prepared the cards and dealt them, and you tossed the coins. If you want to get a thousand... only you can do it." Angelica replied blankly.

Feilan was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a while, she bit her lip and muttered unwillingly: "What the hell is going on..."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are a human or an elf, your pupils will change when you lie." Angelica pointed to her eyes, "At such a close distance, I just need to look at your pupils... to roughly see Are you lying?"

"Can the werewolf's eyes see this clearly?" Feilan was dumbfounded, "Hey, isn't this cheating?"

"The so-called questioning is to observe the opponent's expression...to determine whether it is a lie. How can it be considered cheating?" Angelica's tone was calm.

Feilan choked again and was speechless.

"And you are so stupid, you don't know how to play at all. Just now the real card type...if it is bigger than me, why do you have to question me?" Angelica added another knife mercilessly, "You already , lose a month's meal money."

"Woo..." Feilan gritted her teeth, but couldn't say anything to refute.

I watched this scene silently.

"Brock, are you coming too?" Angelica noticed me, "I can teach you how to play."

"No, I don't have money to gamble with." I shook my head, then looked back and forth between the two of them, "You two have a really good relationship..."

Angelica said nothing.

And Feilan seemed a little uncomfortable: "Who is on good terms with this stupid girl? It's just, it's just that the two of you are bored here, don't talk nonsense to me!"

But I see that you just had a lot of fun and devoted yourself to it...

"Did you get called by Roland?" I also moved a chair and sat down at the table.

"Well, the dean mentioned to me that recently... Brock, you might be in danger, so I said that I can help." Angelica said slowly, "The full moon has just passed these two days, and I am in good condition. It doesn't matter if you don't sleep... I can help you watch the night."

"Oh, that's it, thanks."

I also vaguely guessed that the person who took the initiative to ask for Ying would be this girl, but...

"But from what Roland said, I felt like there was only one person." I looked at Feilan.

Feilan looked away without saying a word.

"Hey, you should go over there!" Angelica also said to her.

"What's going on?" I couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"She's in charge of Alser...Sas's side." Angelica explained to me.

This straightforward girl almost uttered Arsena's name...

"You are in charge of His Highness, so why are you still here?" I asked Feilan.

"It's still early, don't be so anxious." Feilan fiddled with her hair unnaturally.

"It's getting late, it's getting dark." I pointed out the window.

Feilan's expression became more and more rigid.

At this time, Angelica spoke up: "It's because it was already dark that she didn't dare to go alone. After all, the recent supernatural incident... is very frequent, and she is very afraid of it. Go from here... and Go through the woods."

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!" Feilan glared at her.

"I see." I immediately understood and nodded.

"Why did you agree right away?" Feilan patted the table excitedly.

"When supernatural events started happening in the school building, didn't you dare to go back alone? Almost every day, you deliberately waited for me to finish my tutoring, and waited for me at the gate of the school building..." Angelica said slowly.

"Nonsense!" Feilan immediately became fussy, "I just happened to meet there!"

It's a coincidence that we meet almost every day.

"And that day when we were outside...seeing ghosts floating past, didn't you...were so scared and screamed and rushed over? If you hadn't been caught by you, I would have caught up to see what happened." Angelica broke out again.

"You!" Feilan's voice suddenly became high-pitched, "Didn't you agree not to speak out?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just said it out of my mouth." Angelica apologized without sincerity.

"You're so scared..." I was a little surprised.

"So-and-so is afraid of that kind of thing!" Feilan still forcibly denied, "She's talking nonsense, don't believe it!"

"The pupils have changed, you're lying!" Angelica said calmly.

"Don't question me here!"

"Well, it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. After all, you were afraid of the dark when you were a child..." I folded my hands in my arms.

"You're going to die if you dare to mention that again!" Feilan blushed and pointed at my face.

No, I suddenly felt that teasing this idiot was so interesting... I felt that my mentality became more and more like Roland as soon as I met her.

"Okay, to be honest, since you don't want to go there..." I thought for a while, "Why don't you two exchange?"

"No!" As a result, the two of them vetoed it with one voice.

"why?"

I thought it was a good idea.

"If you two...stay in the same room...maybe..." Angelica muttered softly.

Maybe what?

"Pervert, pervert! You still want me to stay here alone overnight! You, you, you must want to treat me...to me..." Feilan folded her hands on her chest vigilantly.

"Last time?" Angelica suddenly reacted, squinting her eyes and staring at me suspiciously, even her voice changed, "Brock, did you do anything to her?"
