Chapter 156 arbitration

Edited by: Esperanza

Witch, princess, king, these characters were enough to make people come up with a western Fantasy story. Perhaps, anyone, who read a lot of western fantasy stories, would immediately decide to defeat the witch on the spot and then mount a white horse to ride a princess. Ah, no… it should be, mount a princess and ride a white horse, oh, G.o.d, that doesn’t seem right either.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yu was a science student, who studied Liberal arts, so normally, his rationality was higher than emotion. So before there was actual evidence, even if there were Snow White and the little mermaid two princesses, he would not help them immediately.

Turning back to the actual situation, after the beautiful witch was repulsed, it seemed like she began to use her ultimate attack. The crystal ornament on her forehead began to gather energy, and it looked like the attack was going to be very powerful. And at this time the position that the beautiful witch was standing was also very bad, Zhou Yu simply couldn’t stop her, because the beautiful witch was currently standing on Lin Wan’s head. If he really slapped it, it would definitely enrage this girl.

While he was hesitating, the beautiful witch finally charged up her attack. A CG-like beautiful magic halo flashed out, then Firefly and Jack the mouse was suddenly pressed down into a half-kneeling posture as if gravity had suddenly increased several times. They could not even lift their hands.

Zhou Yu, however, did not seem to be affected by the magic. Looking at Firefly and Jack, it seemed like they could not hold on much longer, so he quickly held them and went to the toilet.

Inside the toilet, Firefly and Jack were still under the influence of the strange magic. They were still very weak. It could even be said that they could not fight anymore. If Flower Muli’s Supporter Group appeared at this time in the plane, that would be very dangerous

“Such a powerful wizard,” sighed Jack the mouse. “I’ve only met twice in my life with this level of magical confinement.”

Sky city had such a powerful character, this was something that Zhou Yu did not expect. The world was really full of surprises. In the future, he needed to be a little bit more low-key.

Seeing their weak looks, Zhou Yu looked around and said, “the plane will land soon. At worst, we will just hide here. It seems that there is no one here.”

“No one?! Who said it?”

When he just finished, an old voice suddenly spread from above his head, it almost scared Zhou Yu into p.i.s.sing himself. He then looked up and saw an old man with a white beard, dressed a lot like Gandalf, emerging from a corner.

“This is the forbidden place of Sky City, the Wizard Tower. It is also the place where I practice magic. I’ve seen everything that has happened outside, from a crystal ball. I’m sorry that Sky City’s internal affairs have brought a lot of trouble to you, tourists. I’ll give you an explanation.”

Then, in the “forbidden place” – a public toilet, the old man with a white beard began to tell the story.

It turned out that Sky City was originally a peaceful place, but one day, an evil witch got into the city while hiding inside a tourist crowd, and later stayed in Sky City. The King and the Wizard Tower had tried their best to find the evil witch. However, they all failed.

There might be insiders helping the evil witch, or maybe the evil witch has disguised as someone hiding in the city, those were everyone’s concerns.

With those concerns, the rift of distrust continued to expand, all the people began to suspect each other, making everyone in Sky City very nervous, and the whole city was no longer peaceful. The old man with a white beard could not bear with this kind of situation, so he hid in the wizard tower and did not go out. But he was still watching how the things outside progressed from a crystal ball.

The beautiful witch Nissa was actually also a member of the Wizard Tower. She was still trying to find out the evil witch, and later on, she began to suspect Princess Elisa. And Princess Elisa had also found the old man with the white beard and told him, that Nissa had been possessed by the evil witch, intending to murder the king.

But even the old man with the white beard also could not tell who the evil witch was.

The details of this case were intricate and blurry, the truth was so complicated that it was very hard to find. Zhou Yu was not Di Renjie(Chinese Sherlock), and he did not have a partner, Yuanfang(Chinese Watson), who he could ask for some advice. Therefore, he was basically still very confused. And what was even more troublesome was that it was very difficult to end this zigzag story on a three-hour flight.

Even if it was a detective show, at least, it needed to show all the characters that had been involved in the story, so that they might be able to find something. With just a little bit of information Zhou Yu had at the moment, how was he able to find anything? If the evil witch just disguised herself as some unknown pa.s.ser-by, no matter how good a detective was, how could anyone discover her?

Eventually, the old man with the white beard decided to join Zhou Yu’s team. To show his sincerity, he removed the magic spell that was cast onto Firefly and Jack the mouse. With him there, Zhou Yu indeed did not need to worry about Nissa, and they could finally focus on the investigation.

Zhou Yu had been staying in the toilet for a while now, the stewardess had urged him several times already because there were people waiting in line outside trying to use the toilet. However, at this moment, Nissa also appeared. She was originally a member of The Wizard Tower, so she could enter and leave in spite of the restriction.

Those who wanted to come in to use the toilet probably did not realize that there was a group of wizards living here. Anyway, Zhou Yu no longer dared to go to some random public toilets anymore. You never know what was living inside those toilets.

“Hahn, do you want to protect the accomplices of the evil princess? The king has fallen unconscious, and the evil princess has escaped, does that not mean that there is something wrong with her?”

Fighting was not allowed in the Wizard Tower, and Hahn’s group was clearly more powerful, so Nissa was only talking.

“Nissa, don’t worry. Panic has made you lose your wisdom. These tourists are not the accomplices of the evil witch, and they are upright men, there is even a Star Light knight here, if they are to act as arbiters, we will definitely be able to find out who the evil witch is!”

Hold up, old man, who said anything about being an arbiter? There is only about one hour left, how on earth are you expecting me to find out an ace spy, that you were not able to find out for a long time? If I did not solve this case, the friendliness points of all the people from Luhua village, that were here, would be reduced. Those points were very difficult to raise, do you know that?

At this moment, Zhou Yu had an impulse of wanting to pull the old man’s beard one by one until he had none left.

However, the situation has developed to this point, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

After the stewardess urged again, Zhou Yu finally came out of the toilet and walked back to his seat, and was ready to convene an arbitration tribunal.

After thinking it over and over again, Zhou Yu still felt that he had very bad luck. All the detectives he saw in the anime would always say the line like, ‘all the puzzles have been solved,’ before they a.s.sembled all the suspects and used rigorous reasoning to find the criminal step by step. But now he had to go straight into the reasoning stage without any plot development. How on earth could he do it?

Although his luck was very bad, now, this was the only thing he could rely on. Even if he didn’t find the right person, after getting off the plane, which would be an hour later, it would be the end of the story. Of course, it might not be a perfect ending, and the friendliness points would definitely be decreased. It seems like he needed to recover it in the future with other quests.

Without Zhou Yu’s obstruction, and with Firefly, this bounty hunter, also joining the hunt, soon, princess Elisa was arrested, and finally, all the relevant people were gathered together again.

Now the arbitration tribunal would begin.
