Chapter 1760: Reeds

Views:

After Shade helped Megan put on her coat, Miss Danister finally asked the question she really wanted to ask:

"If I heard correctly, just now the Mirror Man said that you are the God Summoner?"

She still had a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she had been laying the groundwork for this sentence. And rather than exposing Xia De, she seemed to enjoy watching Xia De panic and bewilderment more.

But Xia De replied calmly:

"He got the wrong person. Not only did he say I was a god-caller, he even said I was a member of the Edwards family. But the academy has investigated my background, and I am sure that I have nothing to do with Green Lake or the Edwards family."

The sorceress showed a regretful expression on her face:

"Yes, Al Haken is really talkative."

Even Megan knew what she was regretting, but Miss Danister quickly looked at the brown-haired girl behind Shade. However, the librarian did not talk to Megan, but asked Shade:

"You are certainly not an Edwards, but what about this lady? Introduce her to me."

"Um... ... "

Xia De glanced at Megan, and after the latter nodded, he said:

"Yes, this is the girl I mentioned, the one who took me to the island and helped me find clues about the Edwards family."

"She's really beautiful. Even though your love life is a bit complicated, I have to admit that you have good taste."

Miss Danister commented as Megan stood behind Shad with her head down, determined not to speak up.

"You two should both know about the Chosen One, so I won't explain. The Chosen One in this space is suspected to be related to the entire Edwards family, so Miss Edwards, you know what you are facing. Just now your ancestor said that he was the Chosen One, but we can't believe everything he says, so you must remain vigilant."

Megan grasped Shad's shoulders and nodded gently.

"Ms. Edwards, although you are a high-level warlock, you probably don't have twelfth rings. So in the upcoming dispute, you can't actually be considered the dominant party. If necessary, you can keep in touch with Saint Byrons. I don't know what your origin or background is, but since you are Xia, you are a female friend of my student, you are a friend of Saint Byrons."

The red-haired thirteen-ring sorceress gave advice, which was also beneficial to Saint Byrons. After all, the chosen one had reached the sixth place, and this was the first time that a suspected chosen one had a connection with the academy.

"Okay, thank you."

Megan squeezed out a sound from her throat, fearing that her identity would be discovered.

Miss Danister nodded and said to Shade:

"I'm going back to the academy. I'll lead a team here in about a week or two. Remember to come and see me then. Don't stay here too long. Although I 'believe' that you are not a God Summoner, except for me, no one else probably believes it."

Shade was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, so Miss Danister smiled even more. She looked up at the three moons that still hadn't reappeared, and then reminded her students:

"Be careful. There will probably be other anomalies in the Green Lake area after tonight. Also, don't forget to learn the magic Black Moon Symbol tonight. If you miss tonight, if you want to learn that magic again, the money you have to pay for the extra rituals will probably make you feel bad for a long time."

"Good-bye then, Miss Danister, and have a nice evening."

Shade said goodbye to his teacher, and the red-haired sorceress waved:

"Goodbye, see you soon. Also, before I come to Green Lake, you should not go to the island easily unless you have a special reason."

"I see."

Shade said while looking into Miss Danister's rose-red eyes. The latter smiled and then turned into a ball of light and flew away. This time she really returned to the academy.

"Don't move yet, she might come back."

Xia De was about to turn around and talk to Megan, but he didn't expect the girl behind him to grab his shoulders and prevent him from turning his head.

"This is my teacher, not a bad guy who ambushed us."

Shade reminded him, while rearranging the illusion to cover the surroundings. Miss Danister was able to find them because Shade had left traces for her and Miss Carina. Otherwise, even these high-level sorceresses would not have found them so easily.

"You didn't tell me that the teacher you always mentioned was actually the 'Red Moon Witch' Danister."

After the illusion took shape, Megan finally allowed Shade to turn his head, and then enthusiastically reached out and hugged his neck:

"It makes me look ridiculous. It turns out that you have always been so sure about everything."

She was definitely not blaming Xia De, Xia De could feel it from her warm embrace:

"I had planned to wait until I told you my true identity before talking about the teacher. Miss Danister is a very nice person, but I didn't expect that she would fly directly to me."

Megan put her head on his shoulder and whispered in Shade's ear:

"This is not an ordinary teacher-student relationship. You really have a good teacher... Actually, I should have thought of it myself. You were born in Saint Byrons, and it took you less than a year to be promoted to the sixth ring. Of course, your teacher must be very powerful. In addition, you revealed that your teacher is a woman. The Red Moon Witch is of course the answer."

She bit her lip, but since neither of them could see each other's face at the moment, Shade didn't see the action:

"If I remember correctly, Miss Danister is the librarian of St. Byron's College. If you are her only student, then wouldn't you be the next college librarian?"

"That's the theory, but these things are still a little far away."

Shade said, and then suddenly he was startled, sensing that Miss Carina appeared at the edge of the illusion. But fortunately, he was hugging Megan tightly, so the badge was very hot, and he didn't have to worry about being discovered by Megan.

The church's team would soon be searching here, and in order to prevent Miss Carina from being discovered by the church's team, Shad did not tell Megan immediately, but removed part of the illusion to allow the Duchess to enter the reeds.

Of course, he didn't want Miss Carina to see him and Megan hugging to welcome her arrival, so he wanted to push the girl away from his arms. Unexpectedly, Megan refused to let go and said in a coquettish tone:

"Don't you really want to be with me?"

Shade was sweating coldly, because from his direction, he could clearly see the beautiful red-haired duchess walking silently out of the dark reeds. Because there was no moonlight, her entire face was hidden in the shadows.

Because of Shad's illusion and Miss Carina's own concealment ability, Megan, who had her back to her, did not notice the arrival of her colleagues in the parliament. She just felt that Shad's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and thought it was because of her.

The red-haired witch raised her head slightly, allowing Xia De to see her expression clearly with his dark vision. She didn't look angry or murderous, but smiled at Xia De, as if she had expected to see this scene.

Seeing that Shade was about to call out her name, Miss Carina raised her finger in front of her mouth again, signaling Shade to be silent, and then the voice appeared directly in Shade's mind:

"If you show you know me now, you'll never get into my bed again."

Xia De hugged Megan and winked at the beautiful red-haired witch not far away:

"Um...are you serious?"

He didn't have the ability to speak into other people's heads, but he believed that his expression accurately conveyed the meaning of the sentence.

The Duchess thought about it and felt that she had suffered a great loss. So she bit her lower lip lightly, made a charming expression to Shade, and then blew him a kiss:

"Help me, don't meet me now. I must give Audrey a 'surprise' this time. At worst, I can give you a surprise after the party on Friday."

Xia De nodded slightly, and as the red-haired witch retreated into the darkness and temporarily hid, he said to Megan:

"Someone else is coming, but he is temporarily blocked by my illusion. But he should be able to break through the illusion soon. He has very strange power... He seems to be the lady with red hair who appeared with Miss Danister just now. Is that Miss Danister's friend? Strange, why haven't I seen her before?"

Megan's face changed, and this time she took the initiative to let go of Xia De:

"You go first. She should be looking for me. She is very... unreasonable and prejudiced against men. She is a very strange woman."

Xia De couldn't help but ask:

"There are still people like this? Do you need me to stay and deal with them with you? Will the other party do anything bad to you?"

"No, absolutely not. You go first, go now, and never look back!"

As he said that, he kissed Xia De's cheek, then pushed Xia De and asked him to leave.

Xia De waved goodbye to Megan:

"I'll come see you again tomorrow, at the same place as before."

The sorceress was reluctant to part with Shade:

"What do you mean tomorrow? Don't you still want to know my current soul status code? Go wait for me in the hotel room. I will come to you later and explain my current situation."

So Shad nodded, and she watched Shad take a step back and disappear into the reeds, then immediately patted her face, adjusting her emotions and expressions while transforming from Megan to Audrey.

Turning around, the red-haired duchess's face first appeared between the reeds. Then, even in such a terrible environment, the red-haired witch, who still maintained her elegance and charm, appeared completely in front of her.

Carina Cavendish had an unfathomable smile on her face. She tilted her head to look in the direction where Shade disappeared, and then she spoke:

"Good evening, Audrey."

She looked at her colleagues:

"You seem very different."

"Good evening, Carina."

Audrey Edwards calmly blocked the red-haired witch's sight, and was extremely grateful that Shade left in time.
