Chapter 63: The Visit
"So that's how it is." Sidrin looked quietly at Lokishi in front of her and said, "He is the Mad Dragon King Chaos... a person who specializes in researching magical artifacts."
"I think his automatons might be worth investing in." Cinderella's words left Loki speechless.
Was it some strange guy I met in some black market?
Is there really no danger in cooperating with someone like this? Based on Luo Qixi's previous travel experience, anyone who gets involved with the black market is always in danger.
But since I said I'd visit tomorrow... there shouldn't be any problem, right?
Thinking this, Luo Qixi suddenly remembered something and quickly looked at Xidelin: "Then...then teacher."
"What if Orst... that guy comes?" Lokishi said, her face turning slightly pale. She was afraid just thinking about Orst.
"Isn't this perfect?" Cidelina smiled gently upon hearing this. "Do you still remember the matter of the gods and humans?"
"Huh?"
"Didn't we first hear this name from Alsterd?" Cidel said calmly. "In that case... if we meet him, can't we ask the gods and men about it?"
"That seems to be the case... No... wait a minute, teacher." Loki said, somewhat confused, "Then what should we do if he wants to kill Mr. Chaos?"
"What do you think we should do?" Catherine suddenly felt like teasing her student, so she casually asked, "How about we treat this as your graduation exam?"
"Wh...what?!" Luo Qixi was startled. She hugged her staff tightly and said, "Teacher...I can do anything if it's to deal with the Nine-Headed Dragon."
"But...but how do we deal with him..."
Loki is really a coward... Cinderella shrugged and said, "Just kidding."
"If he really insists on killing Chaos... of course I won't just stand by and watch." Cinderella's words made Loki purse her lips.
"But isn't that dangerous?" Luo Qixi said. "After all, even you, teacher, couldn't beat him, right?"
Upon hearing this, Cinderella twitched her ears, a slight displeasure on her face.
"Just for now," she coughed and said, "until Alsterd actually comes knocking on our door..."
"I don't know when that will be." She paused, then continued, "Besides... although I'm no match for him, my promise to Chaos wasn't to defeat Orstide, was it?"
"Escape is still possible." Cinderella's words made Loki bite her lip slightly. After struggling for a moment, she said, "When the time comes... I, I will protect the teacher too."
"You?" Sidlin suddenly laughed upon hearing this. "You'd better not go and throw your life away."
"Hmm."
The teacher's answer made Luo Qixi puff out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, but she also knew that the teacher was right.
If I became the Water King, it might be of some help... but right now I'm just a minor Water Saint.
As expected... the road to self-improvement is still long and arduous.
Loki nodded to herself, determined to help her teacher when Orstide attacked.
No matter what, we can't put the teacher in danger, can we?
Time flew by and it was already evening of the second day. Luo Qixi had gotten ready early and was waiting for the teacher at the school gate.
However, she waited and waited, but the teacher never showed up.
It wasn't until late at night that she could vaguely see her teacher's figure in the darkness.
"You've arrived just in time." Cinderella nodded gently as she watched Loki's figure disappear.
It's not that I'm on time... it's that you're too late, teacher...
Luo Qixi coughed in dissatisfaction and said, "Teacher, I remember we clearly agreed to meet right after sunset, didn't we?"
"Yes," Catherine nodded and said, "I initially thought it would be better to go early as well."
"But then I thought about it... to teach that rude guy a lesson, I'll go later this time."
"And the truly formidable characters appear much later in life."
"Let him wait for us this time."
"What about me, teacher?" Luo Qixi asked somewhat helplessly.
"I forgot to tell you," Catherine's voice suddenly softened a little. She turned her head slightly to look at the moon in the sky and said, "The moon is so round tonight."
It's clearly a crescent moon today...
Luo Qixi shook her head, somewhat speechless, then held up her staff and asked, "So, is it a good time for us to set off now?"
"If it had been any later, he might have already gone to bed."
"No, he won't," Catherine waved her hand. "He'll be too nervous to sleep."
As she spoke, she looked at Luo Qixi and then opened her arms.
Having gotten used to her teacher's behavior, Lokishi naturally lay down in Cinderella's arms, and was then held in a princess carry.
With their wings spread, the two soared into the sky.
Why fly all the way to Chariah when she's right there...? I have to say, the teacher is really a bit lazy.
Loki had seen that address before; Chaos seemed to live in a manor not far outside the city... She had passed by there before, but she hadn't realized that the kind of people lived there.
Soon, after flying for a while, the two arrived at Chaos's house, which was indeed a fairly large house.
It can probably accommodate nearly ten people, and it even has a small courtyard outside.
I have to say, it would be pretty nice to live in a place like this someday...
"What, you want to buy a house too?" Catherine's voice brought Loki back to her senses.
"No need, teacher... I don't have any money." Luo Qixi knew very well that with her meager funds, thinking about buying a house was just wishful thinking.
And if she really wanted to buy a house... she suddenly thought of her parents.
What should they do?
No, no, no... I shouldn't think about that place anymore... After all, that place... isn't really my home, is it?
Shaking her head, as her braided hair swayed, Loki turned her attention back to the present and followed Cinderella to the front door of the house.
"Ahem." Cinderella coughed and then glanced at Loki.
Hmm... Is the teacher trying to put on airs like a so-called truly powerful person?
Luo Qixi pursed her lips helplessly, then walked to the door of the room.
"Pat...pat."
As soon as she knocked on the door, footsteps immediately followed.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chaos was actually waiting for the teacher.
As the door to the room opened, Mr. Chaos, who looked very serious, appeared.
"Good evening, Mr. Chaos." Loki took off her hat and nodded to him politely.
But when he looked down at Luo Qixi standing at the door, he was clearly stunned for a moment.
"Who are you? Have we met before?"
"..."
Teacher, please use divine blood magic on him.
