Chapter 38: Nina was Mired
Translator: John Cui Editor: Zayn
“Nina! Nina!” Glenn shouted continuously into his crystal ball, trying to
contact Nina to determine her location.
After a sizzling sound, Nina communicated her message to Glenn. “Glenn, are
you doing okay?”
“Yeah, I am fine. What about your situation? Are you in any trouble? Did you
contact other people in our team?” Glenn was not delighted. From the images
received from his crystal ball, Nina was running in a panic and was ready to cry
out.
“Glenn, several people are chasing me — people from the Compass School of
sorcerers. I just heard from Lafite and Robin. They are coming for me. And
Lowry is with me.”
Lowry was really into Nina despite her permanently injured eye. However, he
had neither good appearance nor prowess in terms of sorcery. Besides, he came
across as awkward in movement. So Nina had refused to accept his love.
“Why are they doing that?” Glenn sounded rather anxious.
“It was Lowry. He discovered a Moon Chirper. When we were digging, it
chirped and attracted them. Ah...”
In the crystal ball, Glenn saw that Nina drop to the ground. Then the ball
became dark and the contact was lost.
“She is in real trouble. The students from the Compass School won’t let her go
with the Moon Chirper (a plant that is alive).” Glenn felt more worried.
The Moon Chirper was much sought after because it could double the
efficiency of meditation, which could result in improvement of the
practitioner’s mental strength. One prerequisite was that the Chirper had to be
in the moonlight to work. A considerable number of sorcerers were interested
in getting one.
Glenn cared for Nina. So, the moment he realized the danger she was in, he
sprinted toward Nina.
As for Nina, the place where she tripped turned from hard ground to a swamp,
and she was stuck.
“Nina!” Lowry cried out.
Lowry’s capabilities were mostly related to pharmaceutics and thus, they
couldn’t be put into use in rescuing Nina. Born into a fisher family, he had
rough and dark skin, and he was slow with his words.
The Compass Schoolers were closing in. Since Nina was bogged, Lowry would
undergo the same fate as her if he chose to stay.
And he stayed for the love of his life.
“Stop, or I will destroy the Chirper. I will definitely do it.” Lowry threatened the
The student had hidden himself in the tree since the bullying scene began, and
nobody had sensed anything about his being here. If Glenn had been on the
spot, he would have sensed his existence through his enhanced olfactory
function. Interestingly enough, this boy was the one who had stalked Glenn
and escaped when Glenn realized that he was being followed.
