Chapter 165: The Arrogant Start from the Dragon
Alan was confused, but he didn't think he had said anything wrong: "This mission is of great importance. We can't waste time..."
Beatrice interrupted him unhappily: "Last sentence."
Allen: "As magicians, how can we work for the evil and despicable black witch..."
In Beatrice's heart, Shen Jiang was a being comparable to the sun, sacred and inviolable. Even if the King of the First Empire or any other Grand Mage far more powerful than herself offended Shen Jiang, she would defend him without hesitation.
At this moment, Allen, who was several magic levels lower than her, naturally could not resist the magical pressure from Beatrice's anger.
Before Allen could finish his sentence, a massive force suddenly crushed his body. He had no time to resist before his knees buckled and touched the ground. This familiar force didn't come from the Black Witch, but from his senior, Beatrice.
Ruhl saw that Allen's face was full of astonishment and shock, as if he couldn't believe what was happening to him.
Not only Allen, but everyone else as well, hadn't expected that the first person to initiate the attack would be their most respected magician, Beatrice. Honestly, in their opinion, while Allen's words were harsh, when you really think about it, they were right.
Ruel had a bad feeling. Beatrice's acquaintance with the Black Witch had already damaged her reputation. Now that she was harming her own companions for the Black Witch, this was no longer something he could easily get away with. Things were about to get very tricky.
Now I don't know how Elsa and the others define their senior's current behavior. If Elsa and the others agree with Allen, they won't unite to attack Senior Beatrice, right?
Ruel quietly moved closer to Beatrice, thinking that if anyone dared to attack Beatrice, he would have no choice but to turn against Eren and the others.
However, what he worried about did not happen.
Not only did none of Aisha and the others go over to check on Eren's situation, but they were even quicker than Ruel, moving away from Eren and leaning towards Beatrice. Ruel was actually squeezed out of the circle by them.
Ruhr: ...
Aisha: "Beadolese-senpai, you are the leader of this operation. I am willing to follow your orders."
The other members of the team nodded in response, but Ruhl was the last one to agree, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Along the way, Elsa and the others had long been fed up with Alan's theory of background. Not to mention the black witch, in fact, Alan also looked down on them because of their commoner backgrounds, and always ordered them to do this and that in a domineering manner.
Beatrice's expression brightened slightly. Facing this group of trusting friends, she explained, "This is the person I respect the most. She gave my mother a second chance at life, a new life for us, and she also started our family's magical journey."
The sheer volume of information contained in her few words was overwhelming, ringing like a humming sound in the ears of Ruel, Aisha, and the others. Now, as they looked at the unremarkable black-haired woman standing nearby, their eyes brimming with disbelief and respect.
Yes, it is definitely not an easy task for a black witch with ordinary magic skills to lead an ordinary person and a vampire into the misty forest.
Unexpectedly, when Alan heard Beatrice's words, he sneered: "You are indeed a lowly orc, daring to treat the black witch as the most respected person. I wonder how your mentor, Lord Darcyfar, would feel if he heard this?"
Beatrice looked at him coldly, thinking, "The dead cannot speak." If Alan had died unnoticed during this mission, Mr. Darcyfar wouldn't have considered it suspicious. After all, Alan's Middleton family was nothing more than a poor family with an empty title.
And she naturally would not tell him her plan in a big way. After all, her image in the First Empire was still very positive.
Although Beatrice didn't say anything, Allen felt that her eyes were full of mockery and a kind of sympathy that he couldn't understand.
This look stung Alan, and he immediately said angrily: "Don't look at me with such a disgusting look. I warn you, if you dare to help the black witch, I will let Lord Darcyfar punish all of you in the most severe way."
Ruhl looked at Allen and thought to himself that he would definitely put a sack on this guy and beat him up someday. He really deserved a beating.
Shen Jiang glanced at her watch. Another quarter of an hour had passed, and it was almost twelve o'clock. She didn't have time to play house with this naive and self-centered little magician.
She walked up to Alan and tilted her head: "Who told you that I am a black witch?"
Alan was afraid when the black witch suddenly approached him, but he tried hard not to show any panic.
Shen Jiang's fingers flew, drawing a magic circle of light in the air, and Alan's originally scratched knee gradually healed under the healing of the magic circle of light.
Allen opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and couldn't speak clearly: "You...how do you know light magic?"
If she is a dark witch, then she cannot know light magic; if she knows light magic, then she certainly cannot be a dark witch.
Shen Jiang didn't answer his question. Instead, he turned to Beatrice and said, "This way, he won't be able to slander or accuse you. Let's go."
Beatrice was deeply moved. The Witch-Lady was still as considerate and thoughtful as ever. Although they hadn't seen each other for several years, she felt that the Witch-Lady was still the same as when they first met, without any strangeness or estrangement at all.
Beatrice knew the forbidden spell on the witch and would leave at dusk. Seeing the witch urging her, she immediately understood: the witch must be anxious now.
Allen watched his companions and the strange woman who could perform light magic leave. He hurriedly followed them: "Wait for me, I'll go with you!"
What Quick and Priest didn't expect was that before the big-eared deer showed up, they had a new competitor - Beatrix and her team.
They only have one dragon and one ghost, but Beatrice has four teammates behind her, which makes Quick and Priest very dissatisfied.
Shen Jiang asked in return: "Don't you have confidence in yourselves?"
Quick: "What a joke! A few human magicians are worthy of being compared with me?"
Priest was also provoked by the provocation: "I am the son of the blood clan. These little guys want to defeat me in the next life!"
When Ruhl heard this, he felt something was wrong. He could tell those vampires were vampires, but wasn't that red-haired boy just an ordinary person? Why did he seem to look down on magicians like them?
You know, the combat effectiveness of a high-level magician is comparable to that of hundreds of ordinary people.
Elsa and the others had similar doubts as Ruel. They had exhausted all their senses but could not sense any magic from the red-haired boy. If he was not an ordinary person, there was only one possibility - he was a magician of a higher level than them.
But the red-haired boy obviously obeyed the black-haired woman. If he was really a magician, how could he be willing to obey a low-level magician whose magic power was far inferior to his own?
But that's not right. If the red-haired boy was really an ordinary person, why would he follow a black witch who could perform light magic? He must have something extraordinary about him.
With such doubts and confusion, the magic team began to move towards the heart of the misty forest.
Priest and Quick each chose a direction and went their separate ways, while Shen Jiang stayed with Beatrice.
On the way, Shen Jiang felt several vague gazes on him more than once. Because those gazes were not malicious, Shen Jiang did not pay much attention to them.
As time went by, no one had found a big-eared deer.
Beatrice noticed that the witch looked at the watch on her wrist more than once. It was obvious that the witch was in a hurry this time. Someone must be sick and needed urgent treatment.
Beatrice pursed her lips and ordered, "Pace faster."
There were actually many traps in the Misty Forest, and the reason they were moving at this pace was entirely for safety reasons. Alan was dissatisfied, but after all, he had insisted on following, so he couldn't say anything. He could only grit his teeth and keep up, while paying attention to the dangers around him.
After a while, everyone suddenly heard a roar like that of a bull, but the sound was deeper and more penetrating.
Ruel's heart was shaken, and he cried out, "There's a dragon in the forest!"
Without any orders, Aisha and others had already formed a formation and prepared for defense.
However, the team leader didn't move. Beatrice could understand animal language, so she recognized the distant dragon roar. "Hahahaha! I told you I'd be the first to find it! The reward belongs to the dragon!"
At the same time, Shen Jiang also felt the call of the contracted beast in her heart. Her eyebrows and eyes revealed a smile of joy: "Quick has found the big-eared deer. Let's go and meet him!"
Shen Jiang walked over there without hesitation, but after taking two steps, she felt that it was a waste of time, so she simply gave a command to Quick in her mind: Come and pick me up.
Just when Elsa, Allen and the others were still confused, the fog above their heads was suddenly blown away, and what appeared above their heads was not the overcast sky, but a giant red object that blocked out the sun!
That's a flying dragon.
