The uninvited guest walked around the room but couldn't find the teapot. In the end, he could only give up regretfully. Then, he shifted his gaze to the iron kettle used to boil water on the other side. He reached out, wanting to take the iron kettle into his arms. Seeing this, Luo Bu could only silently raise his cup and salute him for being a man.
The moment the aquiline-nosed Magician's palm came into contact with the iron kettle, he almost screamed in pain. Although he covered his mouth with his other hand, he couldn't escape the damage that he had already received. In just a short half a second, his skin had turned red. Then, he retracted his hand as fast as he could and picked up his staff. His eyes were filled with fear and vigilance.
Boil … water?
But how was that possible? According to the information he received, the target had been going out every night for the past few days and would only return after midnight. Right now, it should have been at least four to five hours since Jessica left. How could there still be such hot water in the kettle?
No, judging from the temperature that he felt just now, the kettle had clearly just been boiled. In other words, there was a high chance that there was someone else in the room right now!
The aquiline-nosed Magician was startled. If a Spellcaster was not prepared in such a small space, it was very easy to be ambushed by Thieves or Assassins. After realizing that he might be in danger, the Magician did not dare to delay. He leaped to the back of the sofa and found cover for himself. Then, he immediately cast a magic shield. After doing all this, he finally let out a sigh of relief and had the time to chant a Detection Spell.
Unfortunately, such a low-level spell was useless against a future supreme magus. The detection spell showed that there was no one else in the room except for the aquiline-nosed Magician.
So it was just a false alarm? The aquiline-nosed Magician was a little confused. If there was no one in the room, why was the kettle boiling? Unless the target had come back not long ago, boiled the kettle, and left in a hurry?
At present, this seemed to be the only explanation that made sense.
The aquiline-nosed Magician stood up from the sofa and patted the dust off his body. He let out a long sigh of relief. He never thought that it was a problem with his strength that he couldn't find the target. It wasn't because he underestimated the enemy, but because he knew where he was. Siames was only a second-rate school in Gudilesi City. Although it wasn't small, it didn't have any outstanding students. The teachers were also mediocre. In the entire school, apart from Principal Foreman and the already dead Xavier, there wasn't anyone who could be called an expert.
So naturally, he didn't think that there was anyone here who could evade that detection spell.
But just to be on the safe side, he searched the room again. Then, he impatiently took out the small wooden bottle and poured the liquid inside into the iron kettle. The aquiline-nosed Magician seemed to feel that this might not be enough, so he went into the kitchen and mixed the remaining liquid in the bottle with the tea leaves in the cabinet.
Only when the small wooden bottle was empty did he return to the living room, unsatisfied. The aquiline-nosed Magician looked around his masterpiece and snorted. He was about to cast an invisibility spell on himself to hide and watch the show when he heard a voice from the sofa. "Hey, don't you think it's a little too much to treat a girl like this?"
The aquiline-nosed Magician almost jumped up in fright. When he looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a guy in a cloak.
The guy leaned leisurely on the sofa, holding a teacup in his hand and a half-eaten fruit plate on his knee. He was sizing him up with interest.
Chance! The aquiline-nosed Magician noticed that the guy's magic staff was placed on the other side of the sofa. This was an absolute taboo in a battle!
The aquiline-nosed Magician's eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he raised the magic staff in his hand and chanted the spell he was most proficient in: Stone Spear Piercing. This was a Grade 2 spell that he was best at. The entire chanting process took less than five seconds, which was almost double the speed of a standard spell.
Only when he was halfway through his chanting did the guy on the sofa seem to have realized something. He reached for the magic staff on the other side of his body.
But it was too late. Everything was over. The aquiline-nosed Magician was almost done chanting the Grade 2 spell.
What? So it's just a guy with slow reflexes?
But just as this thought appeared in the aquiline-nosed Magician's mind, he was horrified to find that his body was frozen in place. His limbs had become incomparably stiff.
Petrification?! How could it be so fast? This speed was already a bit against common sense. Could it be the legendary Instant Casting Technique that only a small number of high-level mages could master?
The aquiline-nosed Magician's pupils shrank. What the hell? How could a puny Siamus have such a powerful expert?
Then, he saw the guy who had popped out of nowhere get up from the sofa and walk towards him. The aquiline-nosed Magician's expression was somewhat nervous. However, he could only watch as the guy dug out the empty wooden bottle from his shirt pocket. Rob uncorked the bottle and sniffed it. "Marlin's Strong Aphrodisiac Potion? As expected, it's this underhanded method again. Are you planning to use this to ruin the Natalie Family's reputation? "
The aquiline-nosed Magician wanted to quibble, but the future Supreme Magister Your Honor shook his head. "Go back and tell the person behind you that I don't care what grudges he has with the Natalie Family. From today onwards, he is not allowed to touch Jessica."
The aquiline-nosed Magician hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes … I guarantee that Miss Collow will never be harassed again."
Luo Bu grunted, "So you're saying that you can make decisions for your master?"
The aquiline-nosed Magician looked embarrassed. He knew that he had agreed too quickly and did not have any sincerity at all. In the end, he was seen through. Fortunately, the future Supreme Magister Your Honor did not seem to have any intention of pursuing the matter. He removed the petrification spell from his body. "Go. Don't let me see you again."
"Thank … Thank you, senior." The aquiline-nosed Magician was overjoyed. He did not expect the other party to let him off so easily. Although the cloaked man's voice sounded young, the unfathomable skills made him use honorifics with confidence.
After regaining his freedom, the aquiline-nosed Magician took two steps forward with trepidation. He then turned around and saw that the other party had kept his promise and did not make any moves. However, he was afraid that the other party would change his mind at the last minute, so he hastened his steps. Right now, he did not care if he completed his mission tonight. He only wanted to escape this terrifying place.
