With the Nature Mage Association suddenly interfering, the plan to quickly examine the two of them came to nothing. At the very least, everything had to be done according to the rules, and Caroso and the others were arranged to stay inside the church.
Of course, according to the Goddess of Dawn Church's rules, no one was allowed to see Nimel or Sophia at this time.
This rule was not without reason. Like before on the ship, if Merlin had rashly met with Nimel and Sophia, they might have been ambushed and severely wounded by the sea monster.
Even with a magic array protecting them, that sea monster had managed to break through. Let alone opening a gap in the array.
Caroso's room.
Bai was the first to seek out Caroso. She chatted with him about what had happened at sea and could not help sighing after learning the details.
If she had been there, things really would have been much simpler.
Having missed this adventure, Bai felt quite regretful as well.
"What are you planning to do after this?" Bai asked Caroso. "Stay here and have Alita tutor you?"
"Mm." Caroso nodded. "Teacher, you're going back too, right?"
"Going back? You're overthinking it. Emperor Gufu's formula is in my hands now. Norma wouldn't dare let me leave the range of her exploration." Bai pinched Caroso's little cheek. "You're the one who brought me all these troubles!"
Bai discovered that Caroso's face felt especially nice to pinch.
"Sorry... Then please continue teaching me these days, Teacher. Besides competing, I still need to keep up with my regular studies." Seeing that Bai was not leaving either, Caroso could not help feeling delighted. He had suddenly gained two teachers.
Both were Tier 8 masters, so his studies surely would not fall behind.
