Knowing that there were still some misunderstandings between Bryce and he, Marquis Hyman was not in a hurry. He touched Bryce’s slightly heavy shoulder and smiled with relief. “My son has grown up, too.”
At this time, the signal light of the teleportation site was on again.
As the light in the teleportation site faded away, a figure gradually appeared. At the same time, a white light quickly flew out of the teleportation site and turned into a stream of light and disappeared in the sky.
“Did something fly over just now?”
One of them rubbed his eyes and said with uncertainty.
“It seems… Yes?” The man next to him also swallowed and said in an uncertain tone.
Marquis Hyman and the others were also shocked.
As for Mallory, he had seen Sleipnir’s speed in the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. He didn’t lose his countenance.
Locke and Athena slowly walked out of the teleportation site, followed by a man in a black robe. He was the cold-faced Thanatos, the god of death and curiously looked around at Badal who looked like a turkey.
“Mr. Capet.” Marquis Hyman greeted Locke first and then bowed to Athena, “Miss Athena.”
There was a flash of doubt in Mrs. Hyman’s eyes. She could feel that when her husband greeted Athena, there was a trace of respect and flattery in his tone.
But her husband was the marquis. Why would he respect and please a weak girl?!
It was not her fault to be confused. As for Athena’s strength, Marquis Hyman was very cautious and did not reveal it. After all, many powerful people like Athena were moody. If they triggered the taboo of the other party, it would be a disaster for the Hyman family.
“Mr. Hyman, Mrs. Hyman.” Locke nodded with a smile.
As for Athena, she nodded slightly as a response.
Mrs. Hyman was stunned again.
Facing Athena’s cold attitude, her husband didn’t show any dissatisfaction. No, not only was he not angry, but he felt flattered and took it for granted.
“Mr. Capet, please come to the Hyman family when you have time.”
Looking at Locke and Athena, Marquis Hyman sincerely invited them.
Locke smiled and said, “Of course.”
In fact, according to the previous plan, the training of Grade 1 of fire type had come to an end two days ago, but because of the surge of beasts, everyone came back two days later. Today, it was the day of the establishment of the Scilar Magic Academy. According to the arrangement, everyone had an afternoon break, and they would attend the dinner party held by the academy in the evening.
After saying goodbye to Marquis Hyman, Locke and the others went back to the villa in the Scilar Magic Academy.
Although there were Thanatos and Badal in the villa, there were still many rooms, so it was not crowded.
In order to regain its former heroic spirit, Badal began to cultivate in seclusion as soon as it entered the room.
In the yard.
With a broom in his hand, Locke walked up to Thanatos and said, “I’ll leave the job of sweeping the floor to you from now on.”
His cold face suddenly froze. He stared at the broom for a long time. Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Locke, with a dangerous light shining in his eyes. “You want me to sweep the floor?”
“Of course, you can’t live in vain.” Ignoring the threat in his eyes, Locke pouted and said.
“No way!”
Said Thanatos coldly.
“Okay.” Locke was not in a hurry. He put the broom on the table, pointed at the wooden door in the distance and sneered, “The exit is over there, and no one stops you.”
Thanatos was stunned. He looked at Sleipnir, who was sleeping comfortably, and then looked at Athena, who was reading a book on the chair. He retorted unconvinced, “Why can they do nothing?”
“Sleipnir can take me out.”
With that, Locke smiled faintly and looked at Athena. “As for why Athena doesn’t work, maybe you need to ask her in person.”
Now he was not afraid of Thanatos. If it was someone else, he might have worried that it would affect fondness. But Thanatos was indifferent to his fondness. Was there still room for him to fall?
‘I’ll ask her myself?’
Hearing Locke’s words, Thanatos’s mouth twitched. Did he dare?
For a moment, Thanatos fell silent again. A few seconds later, he softened his tone. “Maybe I can do something else, not sweep the floor.”
“That’s what you need to do now.” Locke shook his head. There was no room for negotiation in his tone.
After saying that, Locke turned around and walked into the kitchen. Before leaving, he added slowly, “By the way, you can only do it by yourself. You can’t use any other energy.”
After standing beside the broom for a long time, Thanatos seemed to accept his fate. He grabbed the broom and began to clean it silently.
On the lawn in the distance, Sleipnir opened her eyes and glanced at Thanatos, who was sweeping the floor. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Why did you piss Locke off? He was a vengeful man. Now, as the god of death, he was sweeping the floor for others.
In the afternoon, Locke and Athena arrived at the dinner party. Sleipnir was in a daze, sleeping. Badal, on the other hand, restored its practice and empty body in the practice room of the villa.
The hall was still in the Barlow style. The windows were curved in an arc, creating an exaggerating visual effect. The decoration was complicated, full of vigor and vitality.
Soon, Locke and Athena arrived at the hall.
At the top of the hall was a vast sea of stars. In the center of the sea of stars was a pure white moon, emitting a soft luster, bright but not dazzling.
The hall was about the size of four football fields. Rows of beautifully carved tables and chairs were arranged in the hall. Near the wall, there was a speech platform at the end of the hall.
In the hall, many students in magic robes of other departments had come. In the Scilar Magic Academy, students of Grade 1 in each department had to take part in the training, but the training time was different. Except for fire type, other students had finished their training half a month ago.
In addition to the students of the mage academy, there were also many people from other forces. As the largest mage academy of Naton County, the annual dinner naturally invited many people from other forces.
When Locke and Athena entered the hall, a girl in a volunteer’s suit came up. “Mr. Capet, Miss Athena, please come to us.”
Under the guidance of the girl, the two came to seats especially for tutors.
Locke also noticed that the representatives of other forces had gradually arrived, but there was still no one in the front seats.
Ten minutes later, Count Grace entered the venue. After greeting Locke, he came to his seat.
Then came Count Bazel with a gloomy face, Count Brandon with a murderous look in his eyes, and Marquis Hyman with a happy face.
