Chapter 238: The Witch's Silver Pupil
"In any case, the leader of the stargazers, Mr. Pavilion Master from the Land of Sea Mist, across the sea, must have come with bad intentions, and what happened to us in the cave and in the territory is most likely his doing."
"You mean, teacher, he led the enemy up the tower?"
Poetry's sky-blue pupils stared silently at the young wizard's face. The young man could not see the slightest element of emotion in her eyes.
"Mr. Percy, since you suspect that I have become a spy lurking above the Tower because of his affairs, according to this logic, I am afraid that the teacher is just as suspicious as I am...... Or do you think that the teacher went astray because he was deceived by the enemy? β
"No, no, you're mistaken, Miss Miller, I didn't mean that."
Mr. Percy waved his hand hurriedly, and he looked a little flustered in response to Sycodi's questioning, but in fact the corners of his mouth were unconsciously curled up and a rather mocking smile appeared.
- Mars Percy and Reed Joyce are two different types of people entirely.
Relying on his status as the chief student and the trust of a wizarding leader with personal feelings, the guy acted recklessly and disrespectfully, and Percy hated Joyce and thought he was not a rude man like him.
Even at a time when the various schools and their leaders were almost torn apart, he did not intend to make any words to denigrate the legendary wizard in public.
"Lord Longman Hall is a legendary wizard, and his intentions and foresight are beyond our guessing. I don't think it is possible for him to collude with outsiders, and with his profound wisdom and far-sightedness, it is impossible for him to be deceived by Xiaoxiao. Master Hall has his own purpose, which I can't understand right now...... But I believe that as a leader, it is impossible for him to betray this tower, and there is no point in doing so. β
Percy questioned in a more affirmative tone as he opened his eyes and spouted nonsense.
"Miss Miller, while I know you're excellentβit's well known in the Tower, but what I've just said is a question that the Wizarding Life Council intends to ask you. In this matter, you want to pull your teacher as a shield, I'm afraid...... Miss Miller isn't qualified enough, is she? β
"That's right."
Poetry's demeanor was still as indifferent as water.
"Well, I can answer you: I have nothing to do with the owner. However, after the cave was destroyed, there were dead worms everywhere, and our team had to disperse; Coupled with the fact that the situation was critical, the attack was particularly sudden, menacing, and hostile, suggesting that there were enemies lurking nearby with ill intentions towards the Magic Tower Wizard. β
"According to common sense, I can only choose a companion nearby. And he was invited by the teacher, and I thought it would be our friend, so I chose to act with him...... Now, now that his identity has been revealed by the Parliament, I certainly won't be on his side. β
When Percy heard this, his heart suddenly rejoiced.
He knew that the other party was planning to back down.
For the ever-strong Poetic, this is a rare thing; And if she can be further forced to give in and back down, she can really seize the opportunity for the camp she belongs to at the moment when the civil war in the magic tower is about to break out.
At this moment, it is natural to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Miss Miller, I'm afraid you don't understand the seriousness of this matter. Today's magic tower is stormy, the internal situation is unstable, and there are not a few people eyeing it. β
"Whether it's the civil strife that a betrayer might cause, or the object of a 'foe' deemed 'enemy' by the Supreme Council of Wizards, it must be taken seriously, not to mention that this matter involves a chief student - as I said earlier, I am asking you exactly what the Living Council intends to ask you. In other words, I'm far from alone in hearing your answer. β
"In fact, we are planning to hold an inquiry. And the stakes are very high, not only the people of the Life Committee, but even the other members of the top level, and even all the residents of the Demon Tower, I think that regardless of the final decision, Miss Miller, you need to be mentally prepared to be interrogated collectively in advance. β
Percy gulped the threat in one gulp, then made a look that seemed to comfort her.
"Of course, business is business, you and I have worked together for a long time, and I know you very well Miss Miller. From a personal point of view, of course, I am willing to believe in you. Why don't you do that, I'll take you somewhere first-"
"I've heard enough."
Finally, the silver-haired girl sighed and interrupted him as if bored.
"That's a shame, Percy. Obviously, although you weren't pleasing to the eye before, you weren't so verbose. β
Percy was stunned for a moment.
The other party's sudden change of attitude caught him off guard.
"Miss Miller, what do you mean by that? Are you not going to cooperate with the interrogation? You ......"
He subconsciously questioned in an angry voice according to the response and dialogue prepared in his heart; But he was only halfway through his words when he involuntarily stopped.
- An unsettling premonition that had never been seen before, slowly creeping up from the depths of his heart, grabbing his heart like a shadow.
No, it's not.
He suddenly realized one thing, the witch's attitude, in fact, has never changed-
Whether it's the expression, or the eyes. Since Skaudi came out of the ladder, there has not been the slightest change.
"You just said that you didn't dare to speculate on the thoughts of my teacher, a legendary wizard, because you 'couldn't understand,' right?"
The silver-haired girl tilted her head slightly.
"So, will you be able to 'understand' me?"
......
Mars Percy's eyes widened.
"This ...... It's ......!"
The first thought that came to his mind was, "Is there another problem with my spiritual vision?" β
Percy always thought that the first image of the witch he saw was just a hallucination, but it wasn't!
- In his "field of vision", the presence of Sykodi Miller is no longer visible, but instead there is a huge eye.
It is like a god overlooking the earth, without the slightest human touch;
Both the eyelashes and the inner eyeballs have a metallic cold color, which is closer to the real "silver" texture than the witch's hair.
And the surface of this silver pupil swayed slightly like mercury, and countless ripples were circled and circled......
The young wizard felt dizzy the moment he made eye contact.
Obviously he didn't do anything, he was sure that he hadn't been attacked in any way, just the "flow of information" reflected on the surface of that pupil made him feel like he had been crushed by a boulder and it was difficult to breathe.
