The good news was that Xiao Tian recovered very quickly and he was pretty much fully healed in one week. Although there was some hidden pains in his knees that hadn’t fully recovered, he still could move freely and fight!
As for Yao Zi, she actually wasn’t hurt but it wasn’t worth mentioning. Thanks to Lin Xiao and Elena who were able to bring her back in time, she was only a bit weak.
In a blink of an eye, one week passed.
In that short time, Lin Xiao stayed at the inn with the siblings and had no idea what was going on in the outside world!
Loran Academy bore the brunt of it, especially Woos.
Everyone thought it was grand magician Woos who burned down the forest, although he’s old and has been silent for a while as a teacher at Loran Academy, everyone still remembered his glory days. The only one who could have done it would be him!
Thus rumors spread all over, when Woos woke up, he realized that his door was blocked by people, as well as the guards responsible for the incident, who were getting ready to interrogate this old man.
Woos was unable to defend himself and felt awful…
As someone who once reigned supreme, who wouldn’t want to stay the strongest? Woos actually wished that he was the one who cast that eighth-level magic, but that wasn’t the truth.
Because of his old age and injuries, Woos was nowhere near his glory years, be it his mental state or magic power. Even if he did develop deconstruction, being unable to apply it himself was simply too embarrassing.
But he couldn’t help it, since he was involved, he had no choice but to participate into the investigation and try finding the real culprit to clear his name.
Later that day, after he finished carefully investigating the scene with the guards, he noticed something shocking.
No one else had any idea, but he noticed a trace…
He was sure that the magic cast was dragon of extinction, but the crucial thing was that within the magic power left he found that the casting method was strange, similar to the deconstruction that he developed…
What was going on? Did someone learn it?
When Woos thought about that, he trembled with excitement!
Who was it?
Because he couldn’t put his theory into practice, it wasn’t able to be circulate and only Loran Academy had a complete copy of the book. If someone wanted to learn it, they had to read that book and then practice it.
Did someone steal the book?
After finally finding a clue, Woos hurried to the Academy library and entered the antique books area with the caretaker and finally found that thick dust-covered book.
But Woos was disappointed with what he found.
What was wrong? Did Woos guess wrong?
After some questioning, Woos found out that the last time the book was borrowed was half a year ago, and no one read it since.
Wait… half a year ago?
Who was the last person to read it?
It turned out to be his own little devil, that Lin Xiao secretly borrowed the book half a year ago.
It couldn’t be him, right?
Woos couldn’t figure it out, although he knows that kid loved magic, especially magic theory, and would often stay at the library alone for an entire day, if you were to tell him that he would be able to learn deconstruction and successfully cast eighth-level magic, that would simply be a fantasy!
Since the investigation entered a deadlock, in the end, Loran Academy had to guarantee that Woos was innocent, and then everyone continued looking for that mysterious magician.
That being said, Woos didn’t resign himself and continued secretly investigating Lin Xiao’s whereabouts on that day.
He got the answer and found out that Lin Xiao was indeed not home, he left the city with Yao Zi in the morning of that day!
Who was Yao Zi? She was the possessor of the wizard’s bloodline! Lin Xiao coincidentally left the city on that day with Yao Zi and according to the guards, the two of them headed towards the direction of the forest that was destroyed…
Was it just a simple coincidence?
Impossible! How could it be a coincidence every single time, there’s already been so many strange occurrences that involved Lin Xiao and he’s been able to muddle through every time, but Woos wasn’t going to fall for it anymore!
Woos planned to question Lin Xiao at his house, but he wasn’t there. Woos found out from the academy that he already applied for a break because he took the S rank mission and left the kingdom.
That brat wanted to run right after putting on a show?
Woos was angry that he couldn’t find him, and at the same time, Saintess Snow stepped up at an appropriate time and told everyone that it was a miracle from the heavens, the gospel of the goddess, and told everyone not to worry.
With the church taking responsibility, the kingdom’s guards didn’t bother with investigating anymore and the citizens slowly came to accept that explanation. Although a few people were still skeptical, they slowly died out. Since Woos didn’t get a chance to investigate even if he wanted to, he could only patiently wait for that damn brat to come back and interrogate him!
And so, the curtains fell slowly on the incident, the outskirts were still scorched earth, but the grass was slowly sprouting and would probably be back in a years time.
On the other hand, that cute little girl was hiding in the dark and was immensely pleased with herself as she enjoyed the stupidity of the ignorant public as they were led in circles by her.
“Hmph, a bunch of fools, they really think the goddess is almighty? That powerful magic was obviously my brother! Who else could it be other than him?”
The cathedral, a certain room.
Snow was lying on the bed and leaning against Elona while cheerfully muttering to herself.
Even if she didn’t investigate, she knew that was definitely caused by Lin Xiao, so she quickly helped to quell the commotion.
That brother of hers was probably troubled, so naturally she would help him take care of it. The only thing was that she had been extremely busy recently so she didn’t have time to see him, and probably not anytime soon.
That’s because she had to travel to Gotham Kingdom to clean up after that idiot hero…
“Excuse me… is Saintess Snow there?” A mature female voice came from outside the door.
“Um… you are?”
“I’m the bishop from Sheryl City, Jasmine.”
“Ah! Yes, the bishop… you’re here. Saintess Snow had been waiting for a while, she’s right inside, please go in.”
“Is it just this room? Thank you… Snow? Snow are you there? I’m coming in!”
The voice outside was evidently somewhat impatient and contained a bit of delight, right after knocking, the door was immediately pushed open before even waiting for a response.
“Snow, I! … eh?”
When Jasmine saw the scene in front of her, her smile stiffened. She stared at the two girls lying on the bed and blushed.
Jasmine nervously looked around like a thief and quickly shut the door! She didn’t want the people outside to see what was happening and then leaned against the door and awkwardly looked at them.
“Is it sister Jasmine? You’re here… uh, why aren’t you speaking, did something happen?”
“W-why are you knowingly asking a question… Snow, w-w-what are you doing with her!?”
“I’m not doing anything with her.”
Snow answered while hugging Elona’s soft body. She leaned forward and sniffed her and even stuck her cheeks on Elona’s breasts and let out a satisfied smile.
“Um… you’re both girls, why are doing something like htat? I-it’s too shameful!”
“I like doing this because we’re both girls, hehe, anyways since Elona is my servant, I can do anything I like with her.”
“No, master… p-please stop… that’s sensitive, if you keep doing that… ah!”
Elona couldn’t help but shiver when Snow started a new wave of even fiercer attacks.
That appearance made Jasmine feel even more embarrassed.
Jasmine already felt that Snow didn’t have a normal relationship with Elona. She kept her even though she knew she was a demon and even took care of her, feelings beyond that of a normal master servant relationship.
“Snow… y-you don’t like girls, right?”
Could it be that her sexual orientation wasn’t normal?
“That’s right, I do, is that strange? Girls are soft, with great bodies, who wouldn’t like them?” Snow boldly answered while forgetting that she herself was also a girl, but didn’t have anything worth flaunting.
Perhaps that was why she liked teasing Elona, humans always have a love and hate attitude towards things they don’t have themselves.
“Oh… is that so.”
“Hehe, I’m just kidding… I specifically called you here because I wanted to tell you something.”
“What is it….”
“It’s something very fun!”
