"It's amazing. How did a peeping Tom like you come up with this kind of magic crystal technology?" Selina looked at Hecate suspiciously.
Hecate protested: "Hey, hey, hey, don't make personal attacks. I'm just worried about the teachers, so I keep an eye on them! This is not peeping, this is protection!"
Selina nodded perfunctorily: "Yeah, yeah, I believe it, it's protection."
Damn it, this is making things worse.
Hecate was speechless and asked, "I will give you the information about the magic crystal phone later. Please help me with the industrial reform first."
Selina chuckled coldly: "I know, this is also a trick you use to hook me, right?"
Hecate: "......"
People who are too smart really don't like to make mistakes.
"But I took the bait. Whether it's this magic crystal phone or those industrial designs, they all opened my eyes." Selina chuckled, and then added: "Don't peek at me, or I'll beat you up. Although you have equipment that can conceal magic fluctuations, I know that as a star witch, you are definitely not as strong as me."
"You have a shielding device on you, so I can't peek even if I want to." Hecate was speechless.
"Hey, you've already tried it!" Selena snorted coldly and left.
Hecate felt suffocated. This witch who had lived for a thousand years was really difficult to deal with.
......
The night was as dark as ink. Thick dark clouds blocked the moonlight. Only a few expensive magic crystal lanterns were swaying outside the palace of the Lorese Empire, reflecting the tense faces of the guards.
In the magnificent hall of the palace, King Lorisel was sitting on the throne, the scepter in his hand was creaking as he squeezed it. His face was terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm.
"A bunch of rubbish!" The emperor's voice was like thunder, shaking the crystal chandeliers in the hall slightly. "Such an ordinary magician was able to escape right under your noses, what do you do for a living?!"
Several magicians and guards kneeling in the middle of the hall were trembling, their foreheads pressed against the ground, not daring to look up.
"Your Majesty, Selina's magical attainments seem to be no less than her research and development capabilities... We have all been deceived by her harmless appearance." A senior magician explained in a trembling voice.
"Shut up!" The emperor stood up suddenly and slammed his scepter heavily on the ground, making a dull sound.
"Selina alone has brought my empire into the age of steam and magic crystals. Without her, the empire's progress will stagnate. Can you afford the consequences?"
"She is our secret weapon against the Red Dragon Empire, do you know?!"
The hall was dead silent, with only the emperor's heavy breathing echoing.
A magician said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, our Magical Mechanical Academy and Crystal Temple Academy have also made a lot of efforts and cultivated many talents. Even without Master Selina, we can continue to lead the empire forward!"
"Oh!"
He sneered and did not answer. His eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Pass on my orders!" The emperor's voice was cold and majestic. "Send out all the magicians to block every inch of the empire! Whether it's the mountains, forests or deserts, search them all! If they're alive, I'll find them. If they're dead, I'll find their bodies!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded in unison and then hurriedly retreated, fearing that staying for even a second longer would incur the emperor's wrath.
The emperor slowly sat back on the throne, tapping the armrests with his fingers, his eyes flashing with complex light.
He whispered to himself: "Selina, why do you want to leave? Am I not tolerant enough towards you?"
