Hearing what Miss Delian said, the other girls couldn't help but look up and glance at each other, but Delian didn't care and quickly turned her gaze to the girl next to her in the red wizard robe.
"Well, Annie, you go first."
"Hey? Me? Me?"
Hearing Delian's words, Anne couldn't help but shrink her body. As a representative of the Shaper system, Anne didn't look as violent as people imagined a Shaper mage to be. On the contrary, she was thin and small, with brown curly hair and a pair of big black-framed glasses. She looked quiet and weak.
Even though this girl seems not good at talking and not as good at dressing up as other girls, she is one of the highest-level people in this visiting group - she is a seven-ring mage and a true high-level mage.
"Yes, I heard from my instructor that the Transmutation Department was originally planning to send Rosalia. Why did it get you instead?"
The Rosalia that Delian mentioned was the apple of the eye of the Shaper Department. As the saying goes, everyone has their own circle. The girls present knew each other because of their similar age, strength, and appearance. Everyone was also familiar with Rosalia's situation. She and Anne were both seven-ring mages, but in terms of appearance, Rosalia was an outstanding and dazzling beauty. In comparison, Anne was more like an ugly duckling.
“This…this…”
Anne was obviously hesitant, and under Delian's curious gaze, she hesitated for a moment before she spoke.
"This... that... I don't know either... I heard from my instructor that it was Mr. Fang Zheng who made the choice..."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"It's like this... I heard from my mentor that when the visiting group was formed, the White Tower Council drew up a list and gave it to Mr. Fang Zheng. Then when they sent the list back, they found that Rosalia's name was crossed out, so I joined as a substitute..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Mary also became curious.
"Do you know why Rosalia was eliminated?"
"have no idea……"
Anne shook her head.
"But Miss Rosalia is very angry..."
"With her temper, it would be strange if she could hold it in."
Hearing this, Mary couldn't help but sarcastically say that compared to the well-behaved and obedient Anne, Rosalia's temper was almost like a volcanic eruption. She also looked down on those low-level apprentices and scolded them at every turn. It was only because Rosalia was talented and didn't cause any big trouble that everyone tolerated her temper.
But now...
"Come to think of it, someone from our enchantment department was also eliminated."
At this time, another female mage sitting next to them also joined the conversation.
"If I remember correctly, the instructor originally planned to send her chief disciple Daisy, but suddenly notified me to pack my luggage yesterday... I haven't even finished writing my thesis..."
"It's really strange. Why did Mr. Fang Zheng want to eliminate those people?"
While the girls were discussing, suddenly, a voice suddenly came up and interrupted their conversation.
"Have you forgotten that he is also a prophecy wizard?"
"Why?"
Everyone was startled when they heard the sudden voice. They turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a petite figure sitting on the sofa not far from them. She seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, with long, smooth pale hair, triangular ears, and a pair of bright red eyes flashing with a mischievous light. The girl was wearing a black Gothic dress, and looked as cute as a doll.
However, the moment they saw her, the other girls, including Mary, were shocked and stood up in unison!
"Ms. Colette! Why are you here?"
That’s right, the reason why the girls were so surprised was because the Colette who appeared here was not an ordinary wizard. She was one of the eight chiefs of the White Tower of Heaven, the chief of the necromancy department - Colette de Nois.
Although she looks like just a little girl, Colette's life is full of legends.
She is a vampire prince who has lived in this world for more than 1,500 years. There are countless legendary deeds about her. She once led the undead army to invade the world and fought against the devil's army. Finally, Colette, who was tired of fighting, left the Vampire Council, began to tour as a necromancer, and later joined the White Tower.
It can be said that Colette is the person who has occupied the chief seat in the White Tower of Heaven for the longest time, and of course the most lazy person. Although she is the chief of the necromancy department, she basically never works on weekdays, just strolls around and leaves all the work to her deputies to complete.
But even so, she is still the chief wizard of the necromancy and the undisputed ruler of the realm of death.
"Why am I here? Is that even a question?"
Hearing Mary's surprised question, Colette took a sip of tea and looked at the girls in front of her with a smile.
"Of course I'm afraid that you will be confused by the Holy Knight and forget what you should do, little ones. You are not here to herd yourself. I will keep a close eye on you to prevent you from doing anything that would be unworthy of the White Tower."
"Ah... yes... I'm so sorry..."
Although Colette's voice sounded unimpressive and even a little soft, Mary was so timid that she curled up and slowly sat down. The others also shut their mouths and dared not speak nonsense. In fact, as the chosen ones in the White Tower, they did have a bit of a herd mentality when they left the White Tower.
But now it seems... the White Tower will obviously not really let them herd sheep...
After discovering that the dean had infiltrated their group, the girls who had originally thought they had been let off the hook suddenly became obedient and docile sheep again. Although their understanding of Colette was limited to superficial knowledge and some rumors, those rumors alone were enough to make them put aside their original thoughts and become obedient girls again.
It was not until the White Tower's warship arrived at Golden Bay and docked at the pier that Mary and her companions felt a little relieved after getting off the ship.
"What should we do next, Master Colette?"
Looking down at the girl in front of her, Mary asked respectfully, while Colette smiled and twirled the umbrella in her hand.
"Well... according to that gentleman's arrangement, we will take the Tiandao Palace's warship to their territory next."
"The battleships of the Tiandao Palace... I've heard rumors about them a long time ago, but I've never seen one!"
Hearing this, several girls showed their anticipation. Among them, only Mary had seen the Tiandao Palace's steel battleship with her own eyes because she accompanied Douglas to the ceremony. The others only knew about it later from the projection or other people's descriptions, and they were also very excited. For a while, several people were looking around, trying to find out where the Tiandao Palace's steel battleship was parked.
At this moment, they saw a girl with long sea-blue hair and strange clothes walking towards them from the other side of the pier.
She just walked up to the crowd and looked at them curiously.
"You are the visiting delegation from the White Tower."
"That's right."
Colette nodded, and after hearing Colette's answer, the girl looked at her and continued speaking.
"My name is Iona, and the captain ordered me to pick you up... Please follow me."
After saying this, Iona turned and walked to the other side of the pier, and the girls hurriedly followed.
"Why do I feel like the other party doesn't seem to welcome us?"
Staring at Iona's back, Delian complained softly, while Mary shook her head.
"Don't talk too much. This is not something we should complain about... In short, we just need to do what we should do."
As she spoke, Iona led everyone to another dock behind the airport. It was completely empty, with nothing there. But as Iona approached, everyone was surprised to see the empty air begin to shake, and the next moment, a huge metal warship appeared out of thin air in front of them!
"How did it appear?"
Seeing the battleship, the protection mage screamed.
"I don't feel any magic or energy fluctuations at all!"
"Me too... This can't be an invisibility spell!"
Another young mage from the prophecy department also had a solemn expression on her face. Although they seldom left the White Tower, they were very aware of how dangerous the outside world was. Therefore, every time they went out, they would cast protective spells to protect themselves and also wear magical equipment.
Anti-invisibility is naturally a must for mages, so as a mage of the prophecy system, it is natural for him to cast spells such as "see through invisibility" on himself.
However, even so, they didn't even notice that there was a warship here? !
Is this the strength of Tiandao Palace?
"Come in."
Iona waved her hand, and the next moment everyone saw a series of stairs that seemed like condensed energy appearing out of thin air, extending all the way to the entrance of the battleship.
“That’s really interesting.”
Looking at this scene, Colette smiled, then she lifted her skirt and was the first to step on it, followed by others who quickly followed.
But what no one expected was that just as they were about to walk up the stairs, Iona suddenly stretched out her hand and blocked their way. Then she stared behind everyone and spoke.
"Remove your invisibility and explain your intentions!"
What?!
Hearing Iona's words, everyone was shocked, and when they turned their heads to look, they saw a figure suddenly emerge from the void and pounced on Iona with a dazzling sword light!
