"I guess he went to D'Shar Duchy to see a doctor and have his teeth treated. The situation there is a mess, which is quite suitable for him to hide away." Dick teased with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What are you talking about? Why am I so confused?" Aode scratched his back casually with one hand and yawned exaggeratedly, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.
Dick You can tell at a glance that this old man is tired again. There is nothing he can do about it. Aode He is old and his energy cannot keep up after all.
"Aode, let me take you back to your room to rest. The room has been prepared for you. When you leave tomorrow, I have also arranged the energy stones and rune array patterns prepared for Witcher Order."
"Mary, I'm actually not sleepy yet, it's just... OK, I'm really sleepy. I really can't accept it."
Aode glanced at Dick, "Did you hear that, kid? In the future, we Witcher Order can also use the same high-end water purification device as Magic Academy. In the winter, we no longer have to get up late at night and run outside to the yard to drain water in the cold."
Dick was delighted. When he was at Odinburg, he had seen the luxurious bathing facilities in the fortress, and he had also seen the same configuration at the Magic Academy.
Kaer Morhen Although it is built on the elven ruins, it only has sewer facilities and does not have such advanced magic technology.
It seems that this time Aode not only cleared up the old feud with Mary, but also paved the way for the future development of the sect.
"Aode, go back and rest quickly. When will you leave tomorrow? I'll see you off."
Mary's fingertips drew a semicircle in the void, and two azure portals appeared beside Aode and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I arranged for two warlocks to work with Aode. They will take turns opening the magic portal tomorrow morning. Together with Ibu, they will be able to return to Kaer Morhen soon."
Aode put his hands on his hips proudly, smiling so much that his goatee trembled, "Although I have never learned how to cast the portal spell, my sister is the dean Magic Academy.
"Also, Dick, when you are done with your work in a while, remember to go back to Kaer Morhen and take Xiya with you." Aode winked and said, "Let her see, her future home is no worse than Magic Academy."
After the two figures disappeared into the corridor, Dick sat on a chair and picked up a tall crystal cup.
He wanted to drink something to quench his thirst, and then he realized that Magic Academy was really rich. The main table was filled with all kinds of fine wines and a lot of juices.
Dick relied on his extraordinary sense of smell and quickly picked out a large bottle of juice in silverware.
He poured the juice into the crystal glass, looked at the deep red color, held the goblet, took a sip, and instantly narrowed his eyes with soreness.
He smacked his lips gently, as if thinking:
Yes, it's wild grape juice, the acidity is just right.
"Dick, you'd better be good at this." Xiya slowly sat down next to him, smiling and his eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon.
"To be honest," Dick responded with a smile, "I don't particularly like the smell, I just miss it a bit."
"I remember that time, we were at Odinburg. It was our first date alone. We ate steak and drank wild grape juice. I was deeply impressed by this."
There was a hint of loneliness in Xiya's tone, "At that time, the owner of that store entrusted us to protect Odinburg. Unfortunately, he was harmed by Broom Witch and two monsters."
"Sometimes I think," Dick shook the goblet vigorously, and the mountain grape juice in the glass kept sloshing. "If I had been in Odinburg at that time, I would have had the strength I have now, and many people would not have died in vain. If I had been as powerful as Kaer Morhen..."
Xiya gently put his little hand into Dick's big hand and said softly:
"It's all over. You can't turn back time. As long as you have a clear conscience, it's fine. Do you understand?"
Her voice was a little shy, "Do you know what attracts me most to you?"
Dick was full of curiosity. He never understood why the princess-like woman in front of him fell in love with him. Is it just because of his appearance?
As if hearing Dick's thoughts, Xiya continued, "When I first met you, I was indeed attracted by your appearance.
But after getting along for a long time and getting to know each other better, I found that you have many shining points. You are eager to help others, brave and fearless, not afraid of the strong, and always want to help the weak.
I know it is difficult to stick to these principles all the time. Many people will follow the crowd and bully the weak, but I hope you can stick to it. This is what touches me the most."
Xiya said, suddenly smiled, reached out and touched the rough gold necklace around his neck, "Your heart is much more beautiful than the color of this gold necklace."
Xiya's words made Dick feel ripples in his heart.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he didn't have a system panel, would he become a vassal of a certain noble like others, or would he repeat the same mistakes as his original self?
However, this idea was rejected by him as soon as it crossed his mind.
In his previous life, he had such a temper and never compromised.
What's more, now that he is an extraordinary person with a golden finger, everything is different and everything is possible.
"What are you two little guys talking about?"
Dick When he looked up, the crystal chandelier on the dome of the main hall suddenly dimmed for a moment.
Mary Dean didn't move on his tiptoes, but there seemed to be stars moving under his feet, and in the blink of an eye he was standing in front of the two of them.
She tapped the edge of the table with her finger, and the Flames of the silver candlestick suddenly rose three inches, reflecting the gold necklace on Xiya's neck like flowing Lava.
Dick guessed that this was some kind of advanced magic, and secretly complained:
Is it true that the more powerful a warlock is, the more inseparable he is from magic in daily life, to the point where he can no longer even walk normally like ordinary people?
Of course, he kept these thoughts in his heart, and his face didn't show any signs of strangeness.
"Mary Dean, we just talked about some past things. Also, when will my ceremony start tomorrow?" Xiya raised the corners of her lips in a decent arc, but her fingertips made tiny folds in her skirt.
Mary lowered his eyes and stared at the swirling wine in the glass. The dark red liquid suddenly condensed into a nine-story spiral tower.
She flicked the cup wall with her finger, and with a crisp sound like ice crystals, the blood-colored tower collapsed into a sky full of stardust.
"At midnight tomorrow, when the projection of Nine Hells penetrates the curtain of the world..."
She raised her left hand again, and the stardust that had not yet dissipated gathered into a slowly rotating star ring in her palm.
"You will witness with your own eyes how Magic Academy talks to Abyss."
Mary When Dean dispersed the star ring, his fingertips brushed against the gilt candlesticks. In the blink of an eye, the fireworks from all the candlesticks on the main table swayed at the same time, intertwining into flowing ribbons of light.
However, this strange phase returned to its original state after a breath.
"How come I don't know about this?" Dick felt anxious.
"This is the college's preliminary inference - Xiya may have been plotted by an ancient demon.
As an extraordinary warlock, Xiya is not easily possessed, but it is not ruled out that powerful ancient demons used the contract magic pattern written by Abyss Language to distort her original circuit and achieve the purpose of possessing her while she was still young.
The physical fitness and mental strength of extraordinary people are far beyond that of ordinary people, so ordinary demonic methods are difficult to work, but in the face of such a deliberate layout, there is a risk of being possessed."
