Chapter 164 White Moonlight and Black Witch first release...
Beatrice was a little surprised. She hadn't seen Priest for nearly five years. Priest looked exactly the same as before, and she recognized him at a glance.
Meeting an old friend again in the misty forest of the Rose Empire stirred up ripples in Beatrice's usually calm heart. She looked behind Priest with some anticipation.
Well, there was no one behind him.
He came to the Misty Forest alone.
Beatrice's eyes dimmed a little.
Five years ago, Beatrice followed the advice of the Witch Lady and chose to study magic at the Magician Academy of the First Empire. At the same time, she also kept an eye on the goings-on in the First Empire for the Witch Lady.
Two years ago, she successfully advanced to become a high-level magician. As the most outstanding high-level magician among the graduates of the First Empire Magician Academy, Beatrice was spotted by the First Empire's Grand Mage Darcyfar, who made an exception and accepted her as his personal disciple, continuing her path to higher levels of magic.
Two years passed in a flash, over seven hundred days and nights. Beatrice, bolstered by the moments spent with the Mistress Witch, steadily grew into her mentor's most outstanding student. Since leaving the Mistress Witch, she had never forgotten her true mission: to become a true magician, to return to her side, and to serve her.
This time, Beatrice came to the Misty Forest not only to hunt magical creatures to advance herself, but also to complete the secret mission assigned to her by her mentor.
If this mission is a complete success, she will not only become the youngest great magician in the empire, but will also be able to graduate early and return to Longshan and be with the witch master.
Beatrice was now mature and confident, her every move exuding a calm charm. Only when she recognized the vampire Priest did her face light up with a different expression than usual.
To be honest, Priest only felt that the voice sounded familiar. Opposite him was a group of humans wearing the same magician robes. He didn't recognize that the most eye-catching girl in the crowd was the orc girl who used to love to stick to Shen Jiang.
Priest looked at them with a casual yet wary gaze, as if he were looking at a complete stranger.
Why do these human magicians know him?
The students around Beatrice immediately recognized the vampire standing before them. His narrow, piercing crimson eyes, pale skin, and thin, pale pink lips exuded an air of aloofness. While they didn't know why their respected senior, Beatrice, knew a vampire, the vampire didn't react like someone they knew. Everyone tensed, bracing themselves for battle.
Beatrice quickly returned to her previous state, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes. She went from being so enthusiastic just now to the calm demeanor her companions usually saw.
Beatrice: "Everyone, please be patient. We are all family. Don't hurt each other."
Priest was now extremely wary. This human not only knew his name, but also tried to deceive him. But he was no longer the naive Priest of the past. He could be fooled once, but not a second time. Last time, that damned human queen had used such despicable means to imprison him step by step in the human prison!
Seeing that he still didn't recognize her, Beatrice's excitement at seeing an old friend had long been overshadowed by impatience.
If she remembered correctly, today was the day when the Witch Master came in person. As the Witch Master's indentured disciple, why did Priest come here instead of staying in Longshan?
Seeing Priest's idiotic look, Beatrice said sternly, "Did Lord Shen Jiang send you here? What plant from the Misty Forest does she need?"
Priest's vigilant eyes froze for a moment. He stared intently at the tall girl with the most outstanding temperament in the crowd for a while, and finally found a facial feature that barely matched her from his huge memory bank.
Priest called her uncertainly, "Little orc girl?"
She has changed so much.
Beatrice's face darkened instantly.
She is already eighteen years old. In front of a group of younger students who respect her very much, she is called the orc little girl. Doesn't she have any dignity?
Beatrice was about to teach this fellow a lesson, but he suddenly beamed. "Orc kid, you've come just in time! Shen Jiang is looking for a mule deer, and time is running out. Come with me!"
Beatrice's heart inevitably trembled again when she suddenly heard this familiar name.
She said anxiously, "Who is sick?"
Then, with a subtle uneasiness, he asked: "Lady Shen Jiang is here too?"
Priest was confused and was about to respond when he heard footsteps approaching from behind. He immediately signaled the orc girl in front of him to look behind him.
A black-haired woman, accompanied by a red-haired boy, walked out of the mist and appeared before everyone.
Beatrice's heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably. The witch she had been thinking about day and night appeared before her, at a moment when she was not yet prepared.
Among the young magicians, a boy named Ruel was the first to notice Beatrice's abnormality.
This was the first time she showed any signs of overwhelming excitement, and Ruel was sure he saw her twirling her fingers with excitement.
Unlike those students from aristocratic families, who relied on powerful families' resources to build their strength, Beatrice, born into a common family, was able to mingle with the academy's elite and become a central figure in their circle. She was also a rare prodigy at the magic academy, having achieved magical prowess nearing that of a Grand Mage in just five years.
Whether in terms of strength or personal charm, she is like a legend. As the leader of their mission, everyone has full trust and admiration for this powerful and extremely mysterious senior.
Ruhr is no exception.
In his heart, the powerful and calm Beatrice had long been the spiritual leader of these civilian students.
He followed Beatrice's gaze and looked forward, only to find that the black-haired woman opposite not only had long, smooth black hair, but also had a pair of black pupils that symbolized an ominous sign.
The combination of these two foreshadows her identity - a terrifying, evil black witch.
Ruel thought that the senior's excitement might be because she had long wanted to challenge and defeat the evil black witch. Black witches had become increasingly rare in recent years, and if she could kill one, Grand Magister Darcyfar would surely praise her highly.
Beatrice completely forgot about maintaining a cool and aloof image in front of her fellow students. She practically ran over to the witch and said in a gentle tone that was unlike her usual tone, "Master Shen Jiang, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ruel's jaw dropped in shock. Not only him, but the several young magicians around him also had similar expressions.
Shen Jiang had just heard from Quick that there was a group of human magicians here. She was worried that these people would affect her search for the big-eared deer, so she came to check it out. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the orc girl Beatrice.
It seemed like she hadn't seen her for several months.
Over the past few months, Beatrice's appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation. Her body had grown again, and perhaps due to her orc genes, she was now nearly 1.8 meters tall, a full head taller than Shen Jiang. The orc girl's face was no longer as round and cute as before, but had become a cold, icy beauty.
The current Beatriz is simply a replica of her brother Ellis, except that Ellis has become more steady and simple because of living in the mountains for a long time, while Beatriz has a bit more feminine beauty and a very prominent sense of Western style.
Shen Jiang looked at her and discovered she couldn't sense her magical abilities, a discovery that delighted her. She felt the same sense of accomplishment as a mother whose child had gone abroad to study and returned as a member of society's elite. Of course, Shen Jiang couldn't just casually rub Beatrice's furry head like she used to. She reached out her hand, toward Beatrice's shoulder.
Patting someone on the shoulder to show encouragement makes it look more formal.
When Beatrice saw her reaching out her hand, her eyes lit up instantly. Before Shen Jiang's hand could touch her shoulder, Beatrice had already lowered her head and rubbed it against Shen Jiang's palm.
Shen Jiang's hand gently stroked Beatrice's head.
The feel is as good as ever.
This made her subconsciously wave her hand and touch the orc girl's head.
Luer and the others were so shocked that they didn't know where to look, and their usually quick-witted brains stopped working at this moment.
Beatrice is powerful, beautiful, and unattainable, a figure like the white moonlight in their hearts. Many in the academy admire her and consider her their ideal. And right now, their white moonlight is flirting with the Black Witch. Could there be a more heartbreaking scene?
Ruel carefully examined the dark-haired woman before him and discovered that her magical prowess was only slightly better than his own. She wasn't exactly a powerful dark mage. This new discovery made him even more silent.
Why on earth would the senior schoolmate he admired show affection to a dark witch? Moreover, the look she gave him was even more intense than the one she gave her mentor, Mr. Darcyfar, as if she wanted to devote everything to him.
Although this woman did not resemble the image of a black witch in his imagination—a hunchbacked old woman with a big nose, and her young face looked a little strange, Ruel admitted that she was beautiful, a different kind of beauty from the beauty they usually recognized.
After a quick and simple greeting, Beatrice said, "It's been a while since I've worked for you. Please allow me to join you in the search for mule deer. You know, I have more experience than either of them."
Shen Jiang was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
Alan, standing beside Rule, frowned and objected in a serious tone, "Beadolescent, as magicians, how can we aid an evil and despicable black witch? Besides, we're on a mission this time. If Lord Darcy knew you were neglecting your duties, he would be deeply displeased."
Both Priest and Quick cast their gazes at the human who spoke so boldly.
Shen Jiang was feeling particularly down today. Someone had actually taken the initiative to walk into his trap...
In reality, Shen Jiang didn't take this alien native who despised the black witch seriously. She was preoccupied with finding the mule deer and wanted to act quickly, so she had no time to lecture anyone. Besides, she had always advocated peace. It was only when Godwin couldn't handle Quick's offense that she had to teach him a lesson.
Beatrice was obviously more displeased than Shen Jiang.
Her face turned cold, and her eyes looking at the younger students were full of sharp murderous intent. She raised her eyebrows and asked Alan who was standing in the crowd: "What did you just say?"
