Nock frowned and said nothing. What Yan Di said made some sense. Earlier, he also wondered why a group of undead teenagers would find a human being here.
It should be known that since the war between G.o.ds and devils, the Howling Abyss had been completely isolated from the outside world. Apart from the undead and the undead creatures, there was no other being here at all. Even the merfolk avoided this place because the sea near the Howling Abyss was covered by death energy and they could not survive against that.
So how could a human child inexplicably appear in the Howling Abyss?
Based on that boy's appearance, he was only five or six years old. It was totally impossible for him to come to the Howling Abyss alone from the Radiance Continent where human beings lived. His emergence here was really strange.
Shen Yanxiao saw that Nock had already entered her line of thought; she laughed in her heart, but on the surface she said sincerely, "In fact, this child was discovered by Mentor Kehr. This time, my students have the honor to represent the Deathfire Academy in the selection compet.i.tion that will be held soon, so I took them out for training. This child was also handed over to me by Mentor Kehr before we left, to have the students use him for some training, and when the training was over, I would bring him back to Deathfire Academy and give him back to Mentor Kehr, who would then kill him."
Nock seemed to have been fooled completely by Shen Yanxiao. This set of statements was indeed acceptable to him.
After all, Kehr's ident.i.ty and status were different from ordinary undead. It was not impossible for him to find human beings because, as the commander of the Howling Abyss, he controlled the army in every place here. It was not impossible for him to find human s.h.i.+ps in the coastal zone. This child was probably one of the human beings Kehr had found.
"Besides this kid, are there other human beings in Kehr's hands?" Nock had fully believed Yan Di's words. He also didn't think that with just this mentor and these undead teenagers, they could find a human being.
Shen Yanxiao smiled and said, "I don't know. Mentor Kehr is very cautious in doing things, and I don't have the right to ask too many questions."
Nock pondered it over and thought that was just appropriate.
Luoqiu saw that Shen Yanxiao was about to convince Nock, but how could he let things go on like this!
"Yan Di, don't talk nonsense here! How long have I left the Deathfire Academy? I've never heard that there were human beings in the hands of Mentor Kehr. Don't try to deceive us!"
Shen Yanxiao sighed and looked sadly at Luoqiu.
"Mentor Luoqiu, what is your relations.h.i.+p with Mentor Kehr? Is there anything he's required to tell you? You should know that I entered Deathfire Academy due to the personal recommendation of Mentor Kehr. My real strength is clear to Mentor Kehr, but he allowed me to hide my strength within Deathfire Academy. This is not something you can ask about."
Shen Yanxiao looked at Luoqiu with an expression on her face that said, "Who do you think you are? Roll away and cool yourself," which made Luoqiu have the urge to die.
Nock asked, "Luoqiu, is she telling the truth?"
Luoqiu clenched his fist. He wanted to deny it very much, but it was true that Kehr had recommended Shen Yanxiao to enter the Deathfire Academy. All the students and mentors in the academy knew this. Nock only needed to ask one or two of them and he could get the answer. Although he hated Shen Yanxiao to the bones and wished for Shen Yanxiao and Nock to shed all pretense of cordiality, he had no courage to lie to Nock.
"What she said... It's true." Luoqiu squeezed these words out of gritted teeth.
Nock knew very well that although Kehr was a mentor of Deathfire Academy, his ident.i.ty was very similar to his own. Even though both of them had the t.i.tle of a mentor, in fact, they each had their own real ident.i.ty.
