It was night, eerie and terrifying.
The darkness is like a ghost with ulterior motives, lingering around silently, waiting for people to relax their vigilance at any time, and then rush up to devour them.
The giant ship sailed on the sea, like a giant coffin floating in the water, extremely silent.
It was already late at night, the cabin doors were all closed, and the students had fallen asleep. In the corridor of the cabin below the deck, the wizard's apprentice quietly appeared and began to keep vigil.
"Da da da… "
The sound of slight footsteps sounded, and the third-level wizard apprentice Potter walked into the corridor of the third cabin below the deck, and saw the wizard apprentice Darnell standing at the end of the corridor, keeping vigil.
Darnell is a second-level wizard apprentice and a direct student of wizard Louis. His ability is not outstanding and he ranks last among all wizard apprentices. However, the other party is very young, only sixteen years old this year, and has good talent. If there are no accidents, he can definitely break through and become a real wizard in his twenties.
At this time, Darnell was looking nervous. He kept turning his head and looking around and looking at everything in the corridor. After hearing the footsteps, he immediately looked towards the stairs. After seeing Potter, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Da da da… "
Porter stepped closer and walked in front of the other party. He saw the other party's nervousness and did not say anything. He just lowered his voice and asked: "How are you doing? Is there anything unusual?"
"No."
"That's good, keep watching, and I'll call someone to replace you in the middle of the night."
"Yes." Darnell nodded, suddenly thought of something, looked at Potter and asked, "Potter, did the wizard say anything about this matter?"
"Your teacher, what information did Mr. Louis not reveal to you?" Potter looked at Darnell and asked.
"No." Darnell shook his head, "He just told me that I have no clue now and asked me to be careful."
"Well..." Potter said, spreading his hands, "Mr. Dempsey and I said the same thing. The mastermind behind this time should be very cunning and unwilling to reveal his flaws easily, so the teachers can't be sure what it is. The situation. But I believe that the teachers should be a little angry. If the other party continues to kill people, then the teachers will really take action. "
"Forehead… "
"Anyway, be more careful." Potter looked at Darnell and said, turned around and walked back towards the stairs, "I'll go check out the other places."
"Yeah, okay." Darnell responded, and Potter had already walked along the stairs to the second cabin on the deck.
In the corridor of the second-floor cabin, the person responsible for keeping watch was a third-level wizard apprentice, a girl—Quinton’s direct student—Shirley.
The other party's strength is only in the middle of the pack among all the wizard apprentices on the giant wheel. However, the other party studied with the wizard Quinton and mastered very powerful attack spells. Even though the strength is not very strong, it is extremely intimidating. The other party is one of those people who "makes a big splash even if he doesn't make a sound". Even if he can't defeat someone, he can still bring them to death.
It stands to reason that such a being would be silent and introverted. But in fact, the other person is very lively and outgoing.
The other person has big eyes, dimpled cheeks, a high nose, a small mouth, and a pair of ponytails. At this time, the other party, like Darnell, stood at the end of the corridor, ensuring that he would not be attacked from both sides, pursed his thin lips, and watched the situation in the corridor vigilantly.
Seeing Potter coming up, he waved.
Porter's eyes flashed, thinking that the other party had discovered something. He walked closer quickly and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong, Shirley?"
"Nothing." The other person shrugged.
"Then..." Potter was stunned, looked at the other party, and asked strangely, "Then why are you waving to me?"
"I was afraid that you would go up the stairs without even saying hello." Shirley opened her big eyes and looked directly at Porter and said, "So I asked you to come over and talk to me. Isn’t it okay?”
Porter was speechless: "..."
"What?" Shirley raised her eyebrows, "You don't want to? Have you forgotten what you said before? You asked me to come here to stay vigil, but to help. You should know very well that this matter is dangerous. Dangerous I've done everything for you, why don't you just talk to me and make me less bored?"
"Um, um..." Potter felt a little uncomfortable all over, and his eyes couldn't help but drift to the side.
"Where are you looking, I'm here." Shirley said, reaching out her hands to clamp Potter's face, and forcefully twisted Potter's neck to look directly at her.
When their eyes met, Potter felt even more uncomfortable. An awkward emotion spread rapidly in his heart, and he was extremely embarrassed.
It is true that he is the person who maintains the order of the entire giant wheel, but for wizard apprentices like him, he cannot forcefully order, he can only request. If the other party is a male wizard apprentice and does not cooperate with him and deliberately embarrasses him, he will naturally have ways to deal with it. But if you are a witch apprentice, like Shirley, it will be difficult.
Besides, Shirley doesn’t seem to be in trouble.
Want to talk to him
But why is this action so awkward now? Why does he always feel like he's being taken advantage of
At a distance of only a dozen centimeters, Potter looked at Shirley and couldn't help blinking rapidly. Shirley looked at Potter with a meaningful look in her eyes.
For a long time…
"Um..." Potter said, "Shirley, can you let go of my head?"
"Okay, but you have to promise me not to turn aside." Shirley said.
"Uh, okay... okay." Potter surrendered.
"That's good." Shirley let go of her hand.
Porter felt the soft skin touch leave his face. There was no regret in his heart, only a feeling of relaxation. He opened his mouth and let out a long breath. But then Potter discovered that there was something wrong with his action. Because Shirley was close at hand, he spit out one breath and sprayed it directly on the other person's face.
Um, this...
Potter panicked and was about to retreat, but the next moment his shoulder was grabbed hard by Shirley. Shirley raised her eyebrows, looked at him with wide eyes, opened her mouth and said word by word: "How dare you breathe in my face! You are teasing me!"
"I… "
"Well, if you teased me, I'm going to tell Mr. Quinton and Mr. Dempsey! Tell them that you - teased - me!" Shirley said seriously.
"I..." Potter was a little panicked, feeling that the current situation was much more difficult than a real fight, so he hesitated, "I... didn't mean it, I..."
Is he teasing Shirley? Exhaling is teasing? So what does Shirley's action just now mean? Then... Speaking of which, if Shirley really files a complaint, the situation will be really hard to tell.
Potter was confused.
At this moment, there was a "poof" sound, and Shirley smiled, like a little fox who had succeeded in her evil scheme. She looked at Potter and said with a smile, "Haha, what are you afraid of! I'm joking with you, just teasing you, look at you Looks like this! Are you scared?"
Porter: "..."
"Okay, okay, I won't complain, so don't worry." Shirley said.
Potter felt relieved, but this time he held back his breath and said with a stiff expression: "Then... can you let go of my hand now?"
"No! You have to promise me something!"
Porter: "..."
Are you relying on him
