Chapter 194 031: Telling Each Other the Truth
A short separation is better than a new marriage, and Luo Xi and Nicole have been separated for more than a year. The longing for each other has almost reached its peak. This meeting is like a volcanic eruption that cannot be stopped.
In the next few days, the two of them basically stayed together, doing the things they loved to do together, and telling each other about their experiences over the past year.
Compared to the ups and downs on Luo Xi's side, Nicole's side is much more stable.
Over the past year, she has been practicing as usual according to the arrangements of the castle. In the beginning, because of Iris's situation, she was also affected. The castle put some pressure on her, and even her work in the potion department was suspended for a while.
But no one knew what happened afterwards. The castle regained its former enthusiasm for her, and the pressure brought by those wizarding families suddenly disappeared. Their attitude towards her was even more enthusiastic than before.
Nicole lay on Luo Xi's chest, drawing circles while saying, "Before, every time Wizard Angela saw me, she was cold as if I owed her money. When I was targeted by the wizard family before, she wanted to kick me out of the potion department on the spot. But I don't know what happened to her later. She even smiled every time she saw me. It's so strange."
This should be the mission that Iris mentioned before, right? I don't know what it is, but it seems that the Alliance should attach great importance to this thing. Even Angela Wizard has changed her attitude.
Wizard Rosie knew about this Angela, a wizard in the castle who was notoriously difficult to get along with. Even if the wizard Anthony came, he would not be able to get a smile from her.
But now, he inexplicably treats an apprentice like Nicole with courtesy. Luo Xi is really curious about what is going on.
"Then the war came and we got busy."
Later, the Alliance launched an attack on the Dark Forest. Although the Potion Department did not have to directly participate in the war, the logistics department was also very busy. Nicole was busy preparing potions from morning to night.
After recounting her own experiences of the past year, Nicole asked about Luo Xi again: "What about you, what have you been doing this year?"
She said with resentment, "Why is there no news at all? Don't you even have time to send a letter back?"
Luo Xi's mission was originally only for three months. They had agreed that after the three months were up, they would leave the South Coast Alliance together and travel to places like France. Nicole had already made a detailed plan and was looking forward to it.
Who knew that Luo Xi would never be heard from again after she left, as if she had disappeared all of a sudden. Nicole was extremely worried during this period. She couldn't sleep for several days and nights, and even got up in the middle of the night and cried silently.
If Anthony hadn't repeatedly assured her that Luo Xi was fine, she would have even been ready to leave the castle and go to the Black Witch Realm to find him in person.
"this…"
Luo Xi held her tightly and said apologetically: "This is a long story. Anyway, I'm sorry to have made you worried."
It was indeed Nicole's fault as she disappeared without saying a word. If you put yourself in her shoes, Luo Xi can understand how she felt.
But he really had no choice. This mission was confidential in nature. Especially after he decided to stay in the Black Witch Domain, he basically had a single line of communication with the South Coast Witch Domain. There was really no way for him to contact Nicole directly.
Nicole pinched Luo Xi's arm hard: "I'm glad to know."
After a pause, she asked again: "Also, what happened to you? How did you suddenly become a wizard? You don't know how surprised I was when I first heard the news..."
Nicole heard about Luo Xi's promotion to a wizard from Jeffrey's apprentices who had returned from the battlefield.
At first, Nicole thought they had recognized the wrong person. After all, although Luo Xi was extremely talented, it was beyond her imagination that he had become a wizard in just a few years.
However, Jeffrey later confirmed it himself, and even the castle's mentor came forward to testify, so Nicole had no choice but to believe it.
Nicole was shocked and scared.
Originally, the gap between her and Luo Xi was already quite large. Her talent was quite average, and she was still just a junior apprentice. In the Elemental Castle full of talented people, she was inconspicuous.
And Luo Xi was a dazzling genius in the castle before, and now he has unexpectedly been promoted to a formal-level wizard, and the gap between him and her has widened again.
The class gap between wizards and apprentices is not small. In the secular world, it even exceeds the distance between nobles and slaves.
Luo Xi is so outstanding that she doesn’t know how she, an ordinary person, can match him.
Luo Xi sneered casually: "What's the big deal? It's just good luck. I picked up some big bargains, which allowed me to advance to the wizard by chance."
"But don't call me a wizard. Even if I am a sage or a stigmata, I am still your Roshi, right?"
Nicole's panicked mood calmed down a little, and she hugged Luo Xi tightly.
Luo Xi continued: "Okay, don't think about these messy things. Let me tell you about the interesting things I encountered in the Dark Forest."
He then told Nicole about some of his wonderful experiences during the Dark Forest period, including how he had just arrived in the Dark Forest and defeated the black wizard and then met Nilu who had turned into a hellhound, as well as the story of his previous encounter with the Harbick tribe and the world species underground.
There were two parts among them that he concealed. One of them was the part about exploring the ruins of the Potion Sage. The composition of the ruins was very complicated. Luo Xi felt that letting Nicole know would not do her any good but might bring trouble. Even the apprentices who knew about his exploration of the ruins were all made to forget it by him using the "Ten Thousand Nothings" technique.
Then there is a story about him secretly invading the Shadow Tower and taking away the tower spirit. It would not be good if the South Coast Witch Domain knew about this experience, so he did not plan to let Nicole know.
They stayed together for a week, until the eighth day after returning to the tower. The Potions Department sent a message to summon Nicole because they had to rush a batch of potions. Only then did Luo Xi finally end her heartfelt talk with Nicole.
"It's time to get our lives back on track."
Luo Xi shook his head, got up from the bed and put on his clothes. It was nice to come back and rest for so many days, but his progress in cultivation had been delayed. It was okay to relax occasionally in the short term, but he still had to be self-disciplined for a long time.
Just as he was about to go to the training room to practice, a strange thought came into Luo Xi's mind. (End of this chapter)
