Upon hearing Delian's words, the other young ladies couldn't help but lift their heads and exchange glances. Delian, on the other hand, wasn't mindful at all. She shifted her gaze to the young lady in the red Mage robe beside her.
"Alright, Anne, you go first."
"Huh? Me? Me? "
When she heard Delian's words, Anne shrunk back a little. As a representative of the Evocation Department, Anne didn't look as violent as the popular impression of evocation mages. On the contrary, she was thin and petite with brown curly hair and a pair of big black-framed glasses. She looked gentle and delicate.
Although she didn't seem to be talkative and didn't dress as well as the other girls, 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 mentor that the Evocation Department originally planned to let Rosalia come. Why are you the one? "
The Rosalia that Delian mentioned was the pearl of the Evocation Department. As the saying went, everyone had their own circle. Because the girls here were similar in age, strength, and appearance, they all knew each other. Everyone knew about Rosalia. She was also a seventh-circle mage like Anne, but in terms of appearance, Rosalia was an outstanding and dazzling beauty. In comparison, Anne looked 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 mentor said that Mr. Fangzheng made the decision …"
"Huh? What do you mean? "
"It's like this … According to my mentor, when the visiting party was being formed, the White Tower Council drafted a list and handed it to Mr. Fangzheng. When he sent the list back, he found that Rosalia's name had been crossed out, so 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 …"
Anne shook her head.
"But Miss Rosalia was very angry …"
"With her temper, it would be strange if she could hold it in."
Hearing until here, Mary couldn't help but mock. Compared to the obedient Anne, Rosalia's temper was almost like an erupting volcano. She also looked down on low-level Wizard Apprentices and would scold them for no reason. However, Rossalia was talented and did not cause any trouble, so everyone tolerated her bad temper.
But now …
"Speaking of which, someone from our enchantment faculty was also eliminated."
At this moment, another female Magus joined the conversation.
"If I remember correctly, my mentor was going to send her chief disciple, Daisy, but she suddenly told me to pack up yesterday. I haven't even finished my composition thesis yet …."
"That's strange. Why did Mr. Fangzheng eliminate those people?"
Just as the young ladies were discussing, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"Have you forgotten 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.
But the moment they saw her, the other young ladies, including Mary, were shocked and stood up at the same time!
"Lady Collette! Why are you here? "
That's right. The reason why the young ladies were so surprised was because Collette was not an ordinary Magus. She was one of the eight Chiefs of the White Tower of Heaven, the Chief of the Necromancy faculty — Collette de Novas.
Even though she looked like a little girl, Collette'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, Collette, 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 Collette was the person who had occupied the Chief's seat for the longest time in the White Tower of Heaven. Of course, she was also the laziest one. Although she was the Chief of the Necromancy faculty, she basically didn't work and would just stroll around, leaving all the work to her assistants.
But even so, she was still the Chief of the Necromancy faculty and the undisputed ruler of the Death Domain.
"Why am I here? Do you even need to ask? "
Upon hearing Mary's surprised question, Collette took a sip of tea and grinned at the young ladies.
"Of course I'm afraid that you've been bewitched by that Paladin and forgotten what you're supposed to do, little ones. You're not out to herd sheep this time. I'll keep a close eye on you to prevent you from doing anything that will ruin the image of the White Tower. "
"Ah … Yes … I'm very sorry …"
Although Collette's voice did not sound imposing and even sounded a little cute, Mary shrunk into a ball and slowly sat down. The others also shut their mouths and dared not speak anymore. In fact, as the proud children of the White Tower, they did have the mentality of herding sheep when they left the White Tower.
But now it seemed that … the White Tower obviously wouldn't let them herd sheep …
After discovering that the Dean had mixed in with their group, the young ladies who thought that they were herding sheep immediately became obedient and obedient sheep again. Although their understanding of Collette was only 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's 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 Collette? "
Asked Mary respectfully as she looked down at the young lady in front of her. Collette giggled and turned the umbrella in her hand.
"Well … According to that gentleman's arrangement, we're going to take the Tendo Temple's warship to their territory."
"The Tendo Temple's warship … I've heard rumors about them a long time ago, but I've never seen one before!"
Hearing this, several young ladies showed expectant expressions. Among them, only Mary had seen the Tendo Temple'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, so they were also very excited. For a moment, several of them were looking around, trying to find out where the Tendo Temple's steel warship was docked.
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 White Tower's delegation."
"That's right."
Collette nodded. After hearing Collette'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 young ladies hurriedly followed.
"Why does it feel like they don't welcome us?"
Staring at Iona's back, Delian complained in a low voice. 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 have to do."
As she spoke, Iona brought everyone to another dock behind the spaceport. It was empty, and there was nothing there at all. But as Iona approached, they were 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 defensive mage screamed when she saw the warship.
"I don't feel any magic or energy fluctuations at all!"
"Me too … This can't be an invisibility spell, right?!"
The other young mage from the prophecy class also had a solemn expression. Although they didn't leave the White Tower often, they were still very knowledgeable about 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 mage, they would naturally cast spells like 'see through invisibility' on themselves.
But even so, they didn't notice a warship here?!
Was this the strength of the Tendo Temple?
"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 state your purpose!"
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 while emanating a dazzling glow from a sword!
