I Was Admitted To The Villain School Chapter 42.2
"Yes, yes, I heard from the elders in the tribe that our chief is most rebellious. He isn’t suitable for your princess to marry."
"Well, yes, it's not suitable, His Royal Highness Sea King, please don't let your princess marry him. Our chief doesn't sweet-talk people, and he has a mighty bad temper."
Lin Xinghe never expected that this group of hadal ogres would be so resistant to marrying off their chief to a non-human that they would talk ill of their chief.
She collected all that information and gave them the Jiuge specialties before expressing her sleepiness to Wendy.
Wendy said they could go back.
Lin Xinghe said to Wendy on the road, "Our country of Barbaros pays attention to treating each other equally. How many of you are there? I will prepare the remaining specialties."
Wendy replied, "Not many, just nine people left."
Lin Xinghe said, "Okay, I understand."
Wendy hesitated.
Lin Xinghe coaxed, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."
Wendy sighed and revealed, "Actually, our chief was not like this before. He had been looking forward to marrying a human bride, but one day, he suddenly smashed the sculptures of the two chiefs' wives and began to hate humans. But not all the time. Sometimes he said he wanted to marry a human bride, but sometimes he said he wanted to kill all humans."
Lin Xinghe asked, "What happened?"
Wendy replied, "None of us know. Some people asked the chief, but he didn't answer. Since then, the chief has either stayed in the forbidden area or gone out, so we rarely see him stay in the palace for a long time."
Lin Xinghe asked, "What is the forbidden area?"
Wendy didn't say much, only admitting, "It's a place where only the chief can go."
Not long after, they reached the guesthouse.
As soon as the door closed, Jiuge had already slumped over on the chair.
Seeing Lin Xinghe's strong communication skills, he didn't want to say anything anymore and only wanted to continue to be a shield quietly.
Lin Xinghe asked Jiuge, "How many specialties did you give away in total?"
Jiuge cut one hair into a dozen sections to make his specialties. After hearing Lin Xinghe's question, he zoned out for a while before he said, "Twenty-eight."
Lin Xinghe did the math and murmured, "That's not right, is my guess wrong?"
Jiuge asked, "What guess?"
Lin Xinghe replied, "Didn't you realize that the hadal ogre's color scheme looks a lot like that of alpine rimeroses? But now, you gave out 28 specialties. Including Anthony III and the 9 people who weren’t there tonight, there are only 38 hadal ogres. This doesn't match the number of roses from the exam prompt, remember? There are supposed to be fifty alpine rimeroses."
Lin Xinghe fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, she blurted out, "Wendy took us around their palace, but there was one place that they didn't take us to, which must be the forbidden area of their hadal ogres. This kind of place is usually hidden. I have to go and spy on them."
She thoughtfully said to Jiuge: "Jiuge, you don't have to go with me, Xiao Xue Ji and I will go. But I need you to help me take off this hood for a while, it's too huge and conspicuous, it's not suitable for sleuthing. I'm going to find out if Anthony III will be in the forbidden area first."
Jiuge had no objection.
Soon, Lin Xinghe dug out the information.
Anthony III would be resting in his bedroom.
So, after the hadal ogres were all asleep, Lin Xinghe, who had taken off the huge dog's head, quietly went out with Xiao Xue Ji.
There were no hadal ogres guarding the forbidden area.
Lin Xinghe was a little confused at first because this kind of place should generally be guarded by heavy troops. Soon, Lin Xinghe discovered the reason no one was there. The structure of the entrance to the forbidden area was exactly the same as the cruise ship’s safe room, called the god room by the hadal ogres. It was made of metal unique to the deep sea, and only the chiefs of the hadal ogres could enter.
... No wonder there weren’t any people guarding it.
Lin Xinghe stood at the entrance.
She looked up at the gate of the forbidden area and tilted her head slightly.
After a while, she asked Xiao Xue Ji, "Can you become Anthony III?"
Xiao Xue Ji swayed her body in the water, as if thinking.
She slowly changed into the appearance of Anthony III.
She kept revising from memory.
Lin Xinghe was actually a little bad with faces. As far as she was concerned, she felt that the hadal ogres all looked alike, with green bodies and white heads. It's probably because they were of different races, so the hadal ogres didn’t seem distinctive to her.
But Xiao Xue Ji was very talented and rigorous in this regard.
She only stopped when she felt impeccably similar to Anthony III.
Then, she looked at Lin Xinghe.
Lin Xinghe said, "You stand at the door and try."
... Since only the chief of the hadal ogres could enter, it meant that this place was locked. Maybe it was based on face identification, it was a good place to start.
It was a pity that there was no response from the entrance of the forbidden area.
Xiao Xue Ji failed to pass the face identification.
