freenovelworld Chapter 87 School Anniversary
Chapter 87 School Anniversary
Here! This is for you.
Lin Tian handed the lollipops, a local specialty he had bought with the bounty money from the Adventurers' Guild, to Bai, who was lying on the sofa.
Bai didn't get up, but simply raised her head slightly and took a bite of the lollipop that Lin Tian handed her.
Lin Tian wiped the drool off his fingers with a tissue, then found a clean spot to sit down.
After Bai's renovation over the past few days, the entire living room has been completely transformed into its testing ground, with hammers and wrenches everywhere. Just sitting on this small sofa, there are no fewer than three blueprints.
Lin Tian ignored these concerns and instead began to ponder the progress of the main quest. He had been here for over a week, but the progress of the main quest was extremely slow.
First of all, Lin Tian can confirm that, based on the current situation, Francis is still alive in the public's perception.
Although Lin Tian did not know when he died, there were generally two possibilities in the current situation.
One possibility is that he is already dead, but the news has been blocked by a powerful force, so everyone still believes he is alive.
Another possibility is that he also dies, but he might be replaced by someone else, with the substitute living in the world in his place.
This is not impossible. You have to understand that this is a magical world, so changing one's appearance or transforming shouldn't be too difficult.
Both approaches, regardless of their specific circumstances, warrant serious consideration regarding their underlying motives.
After thinking for a while, Lin Tian decided to go out for a walk, as sitting here all the time wasn't going to help.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he found his disheveled and anxious neighbor.
"It's not time yet, why the rush?"
Lin Tian glanced at the watch that Bai had given him and realized that there was still some time before his neighbor went to school, so he asked in confusion.
"The school anniversary celebration starts today. The principal and the administrator will be there later. I'm in charge of the backstage work, so there's a lot to prepare."
"oh........"
"I have to go now..."
Watching his neighbor rush downstairs, Lin Tian fell into deep thought.
School anniversary celebration?
...........................
"Fate, you're late!"
Behind a huge stage, a short-haired girl with freckles on her face looked at the late-arriving Fate with her chubby cheeks.
Although he spoke words of reproach, there was no reproach in his eyes; instead, there was some worry.
"Sorry! Sorry!"
"I accidentally stayed up late last night."
"I was wondering what happened, turns out you stayed up late! Being late isn't like you."
"Staying up late is bad for your health."
"In the practice of psychic powers, the body is also an essential part!"
The girl stepped forward and wiped away Fate's cold sweat, but this action made Fate's cheeks turn red and she leaned back.
"What are you hiding from?"
"I understand, let's get ready quickly!"
The two ran towards the props team at the same time. Their next task was to ensure that the governor and principal's speeches would not contain any mistakes.
Time waits for no one; the original three hours of preparation time were over in the blink of an eye.
When Fitt looked at the host already standing on the stage, she felt a sense of disorientation.
"Phew! It's finally over... Let's find a place to sit down."
At this moment, the freckled girl walked out from behind the stage, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then came to Fate's side.
"Okay... um? Where did that sparrow on your shoulder come from?"
"Hmm? You mean Little Grey?"
"It suddenly flew in through the window while I was tidying up the props."
"I noticed that this child seemed very attached to me, so I took him with me."
The girl touched the sparrow's feathers on her shoulder. The sparrow looked very obedient, but Fate could see a look of helplessness in its eyes.
I must have misread it... How could a sparrow have such a helpless look in its eyes?
Fate shook his head, stopping his unfounded fantasies; he simply assumed the sparrow was more intelligent.
There are indeed sentient animals in this world, such as... Mr. Wolf Mask's little dog.
The two quickly found a seat near the front, while a very good-looking man and woman on stage had already finished their opening remarks.
After reciting their last line, bright smiles spread across their faces. They then took a few steps back and said with a smile:
"Next, let's welcome our principal, Mr. Francis, to speak!"
As the words fell, thunderous applause erupted in the stadium, with the freckled girl and Fate also giving enthusiastic applause.
"What's wrong, Little Grey?"
The girl noticed the little sparrow on her shoulder suddenly move, and then subconsciously looked over and asked.
However, she realized a second later that sparrows couldn't talk, so she laughed self-deprecatingly and turned her gaze back to the stage.
Francis was a short, thin old man with lifeless white hair, wearing round glasses on half of his face, leaning on a cane, and always wearing a kind smile.
He slowly walked to the center of the stage and began to speak in his aged voice.
Despite his advanced age, his voice could still resonate throughout the entire venue.
"Welcome to Xicheng University."
"Today is a memorable day as it is the annual school anniversary."
"As the new principal, I naturally want to offer my congratulations to everyone..."
What followed was a very long speech, in which he expressed his concern for the students and the school's future development.
As the former law enforcement officer, and also the former lord of West City, everyone present recognized him, and every word he uttered was taken notes by numerous students.
"The development of the school is inseparable from the support of the municipality, and today, our Governor Sariel is also present at the school's anniversary celebration."
As Francis spoke, he looked at the blond, handsome man sitting in the first row, and everyone else followed his gaze.
When Sariel heard Francis mention him, he immediately stood up and greeted everyone with a calm and charming smile.
"I've mentioned this young man, Sariel, in public more than once; he's very talented and full of energy..."
What followed was a chorus of praise for Sariel, and after Francis finished speaking, Sariel also went up on stage and said a few very formal words.
There wasn't much to see after that; the previous male and female hosts took over the stage and began announcing the upcoming program...
"Let's go, Fate!"
"We still have things to prepare later!"
"Eh!"
Where's Little Grey?
