Upon hearing Delian's words, the other young ladies lifted their heads and exchanged looks. Delian, on the other hand, shifted her gaze to the young lady clad in a red Mage robe beside her.
"Alright then. Anne, you go first."
"Huh? Me? Me? "
Upon hearing Delian's words, Anne shrunk back. As a representative of the Evocation class, she didn't look as violent as the popular impression of Evocation Mages. On the contrary, she had a petite, curly brown hair, and a pair of large, black-framed spectacles. She looked gentle and weak.
Although she didn't seem to be talkative and didn't dress as well as the other young ladies, she was one of the highest-level people in the visiting party. She was a seventh-circle Mage, a true high-order Mage.
"That's right. I heard from my teacher that the Evocation class originally planned to let Rosalia come. Why is it you instead? "
Rosalia was the apple of the Evocation class. As the saying went, everyone had their own circle. Because the young ladies here were similar in age, strength, and appearance, they all knew each other. Everyone knew about Rosalia's situation. She was also a seventh-circle Mage like Anne, 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. Under Delian's curious gaze, she hesitated for a moment before she finally spoke.
"This … that … I don't know … My teacher said that Mr. Fangzheng made the decision …"
"Huh? What do you mean? "
"It's like this … According to my teacher, when the visiting party was being formed, the White Tower Council drafted a name list and handed it to Mr. Fangzheng. When they sent the name list back, they found that Rosalia's name had been crossed out. That's why I joined as a substitute …"
"There's such a thing?"
Mary's curiosity was piqued.
"Do you know why Rosalia's name was crossed out?"
"I don't know …"
Anne shook her head.
"But Miss Rosalia was very angry …"
"With her temper, it would be strange if she could hold it in."
Mary couldn't help but mock. Compared to the obedient Anne, Rossalia's temper was like an erupting volcano. She looked down on low-level apprentices and would scold them at the slightest provocation. It was only because Rosalia was talented and did not cause too much trouble that everyone tolerated her temper.
But now …
"Speaking of which, someone from our enchantment faculty was also eliminated."
At this time, another female wizard sitting next to her joined the conversation.
"If I remember correctly, my teacher originally wanted to send her chief disciple, Daisy, but she suddenly told me to pack up yesterday … I haven't even finished my composition thesis …"
"That's strange. Why did Mr. Fangzheng eliminate those people?"
Just as the young ladies were discussing, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"Did you forget that he's a prophet?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this sudden voice, everyone was stunned. They turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice. They didn't know when, but there was a petite figure sitting on the sofa not far from them. She seemed to be only 12 or 13 years old. She had a head of soft, pale hair, triangular ears, and a pair of bright red eyes that flashed with a strange light. The girl was wearing a black gothic dress, and she looked as cute as a doll.
However, the moment they saw her, the other girls, including Mary, suddenly turned pale with fright and stood up in unison!
"Lady Colette! Why are you here? "
That's right. The reason why the girls were so surprised was that the Colette who appeared here was not an ordinary wizard. She was one of the eight chief wizards of the White Tower of Heaven, the chief of the necromancy faculty — Colette de Novas.
Although she looked like a little girl, Colette's life was full of legends.
She was a vampire prince who had lived in this world for more than 1,500 years. There were countless legendary stories about her. She once led the Undead Army to invade the world and fought against the Demon Army. In the end, Colette, who was tired of fighting, left the Vampire Council and began to patrol as a necromancer. After that, she joined the White Tower.
It could be said that Colette was the one who had occupied the chief seat for the longest time in the White Tower of Heaven. Of course, she was also the most idle one. Although she was the chief of the necromancy faculty, she basically never worked. She would just stroll around and leave all the work to her assistant.
But even so, she was still the chief of the necromancy faculty and the undisputed ruler of the Death Domain.
"Why am I here? Is there a need to ask? "
Upon 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 it's because I'm afraid that you'll be so mesmerized by that Paladin that you'll forget what you're supposed to do, little ones. You didn't come out to herd sheep this time. I'll keep a close eye on you to prevent you from doing anything that will tarnish the image of the White Tower. "
"Ah … Yes … I'm very sorry …"
Although Colette's voice did not sound imposing and was even a little cute, Mary shrunk into a ball and slowly sat down. The others also shut their mouths and did not dare to speak anymore. In fact, as the pride of the White Tower, they did have the mentality of herding sheep when they left the White Tower.
But now it seemed … .The White Tower obviously would not let them herd sheep ….
After discovering that the Head of Teaching had sneaked into their group, the young girls who thought that they were already sheep immediately became obedient and obedient sheep again. Although their understanding of Colette was limited to the surface and some rumors, those rumors alone were enough to make them put away their original thoughts and become obedient girls again.
It was not until the White Tower warship arrived at Golden Bay and docked at the dock that Mary and the others who got off the ship felt a little more relaxed.
"What should we do next? Lady Colette? "
Looking down at the young lady in front of her, Mary asked respectfully. Colette giggled and spun the umbrella in her hand.
"Hmm …. According to that gentleman's arrangement, we're going to take the Palace of Heaven's warship to their territory."
"The Palace of Heaven's warship …. I've heard rumors about them, but I've never seen one before!"
Hearing this, several girls showed expectant expressions. Among them, only Mary had seen the Palace of Heaven's steel warship with her own eyes because she had the opportunity to accompany Douglas to the ceremony. The others only knew about it from the projections or from other people's descriptions after the event, so they were all very excited now. For a moment, a few of them were looking around, trying to find out where the Palace of Heaven's steel warship was parked.
At that moment, they saw a girl with long blue hair and strange clothes walking towards them from the other side of the dock.
She walked up to them and looked at them curiously.
"You're the visiting delegation from the White Tower."
"That's right."
Colette nodded. After hearing Colette's answer, the girl looked at her and said, "My name is Iona.
"My name is Iona. The captain has ordered me to pick you up.... Please follow me."
After saying this, Iona turned around and walked to the other side of the dock. The girls hurriedly followed.
"Why does it feel like they don't welcome us?"
Delian complained in a low voice as he stared at Iona's back. Mary shook her head.
"Don't talk too much. This isn't something we should complain about …. In short, we just need to do what we should do."
As she spoke, Iona brought everyone to another dock behind the spaceport. It was empty, and there was nothing there at all. But when Iona approached, the group was surprised to see the empty air start to vibrate. The next moment, a huge metal warship appeared in front of them out of thin air!
"How did it appear?"
The Mage with the Defense Element screamed when he saw the warship.
"I don't feel any magic or energy fluctuations at all!"
"Me too …. This shouldn't be an invisibility spell, right?"
The other female mage from the Prophecy School also had a solemn expression. Although they didn't leave the White Tower often, they still knew how dangerous the outside world was. Therefore, every time they went out, they would cast defensive spells to protect themselves and wear magic equipment.
Anti-invisibility was a must for mages, so as a Prophecy School mage, they would naturally cast a spell to see through invisibility.
But even so, they didn't notice a warship here?!
Was this the strength of the Heavenly Palace?
"Please come in."
Iona waved her hand. The next moment, everyone saw a flight of stairs that seemed to be condensed from energy appear out of thin air, extending all the way to the entrance of the warship.
"How interesting."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Collette smiled. She lifted her skirt and was the first to step on the stairs. The others quickly followed.
But to everyone's surprise, just as they were about to step on the stairs, Iona suddenly stretched out her hand and blocked their way. She stared behind them and said.
"Remove your invisibility and tell me why you're here!"
What?!
Everyone was instantly shocked when they heard Iona. Right when they turned around to look, they saw a figure suddenly appear out of thin air, and it pounced towards Iona with a dazzling ray of light from the sword!
