Chapter 14: Darren Theodore Makes a Call
In the evening.
The gentle dusk casts through the clouds to the horizon, and in the distance is the hazy city, with tall buildings and a few figures visible.
A young girl wearing a red hat walked lightly, and her slender white hands easily dragged the suitcase behind her.
The small copper bell hanging on the wrist swayed up and down with the girl's movements, making a crisp ringtone.
There was a hint of excitement in her bright eyes, and when she looked at the shadow of the building in the distance, her cheeks were dyed with golden light by the afterglow, and she couldn't help but have a hint of yearning.
The old man behind her, dressed in a flaxen-colored robe, leisurely followed the lively girl in front of her.
Although the girl's steps were brisk, the distance between the old man and the girl was not widened much.
Heloise followed the cheerful Eve with a soft gaze, a hint of guilt on her face, how long had she not taken Eve out with her?
She hated her lack of strength in her heart, so she stayed in that small wooden house and practiced.
There is a lot of time on weekdays, but there is very little time with Eve, and because of the agreement with the town, everyone is careful to accompany her.
Instead, she stayed with Eve for the most time in the nearby forest, giving a name to everything she saw, such as a small flower that Eve called "Maca" and an old tree with a crooked neck called "Mika......
And now, when time is so tight, there is a feeling of travel.
Thinking of this, Heloise smiled self-deprecatingly.
Eve tugged at the heavy suitcase, the four wheels creaking and moaning.
The box was heavy, but the girl who had been strengthened didn't feel it in the slightest, and she saw that her elderly grandmother was going to carry such a heavy box, so she volunteered to help share the weight.
Eve had completely forgotten that Helois was a werewolf in the Morning Star Realm, and that this little weight was nothing to her.
The sparrow, which had been pure black, landed deftly on Heloise's shoulder.
Eve's cheerful posture was reflected in her blood-red eyes, and her sharp beak was slightly open, but she spat out a human language.
"Oh, what a distressing boy."
"Isn't it?"
This is an elegant female voice, like a noblewoman, the tone is neither fast nor slow, and the voice is slightly magnetic.
Heloise didn't speak, but she looked at Eve with a hint of pride in her eyes.
The beak of a black sparrow is closed one by one.
"Ah, I seem to have sensed something."
"It's so heart-wrenching, you can't help but indulge in it......"
The elegant tone seemed to be ruined by something, and it began to take on a hint of urgency, and the tone slowly rose up.
"This deep force...... It's fascinating. ”
"I, I'm a little ......"
Heloise frowned, and she snorted coldly.
"Sober up!"
Her words contained a mysterious factor, and through the black sparrow on her shoulder, she directly woke up the woman in an unknown place.
"Whew, sorry, Heloise." She gasped lightly, as if scared, and apologized to Helois.
"It's me who lost my temper."
"But this force is really ......"
"Is this the power that comes from God as it is rumored?"
Blood-red jewel-like eyes stared at Eve, as if they saw the power dormant in her body.
"It's shocking......"
Her tone returned to an elegant tone, and it seemed that she had always been so unhurried, no longer in her previous gaffe.
"I don't want to save you a second time."
Heloise lowered her voice, her tone filled with dissatisfaction.
She remembered the first time she saw the woman.
Women come from secret societies, and in secret societies they are crazy except geniuses, and naturally, women are also a little nervous.
At that time, she was so obsessed with mystery, in order to break through the power of the morning star to explore deeper, she could inject all kinds of strange things into her body, and even transform her own body.
But she is also the one Helois has ever seen who understands the mysteries more deeply, especially in the study of living things, and no one else can match it.
Now, if there is anyone who has the best hope of solving Eve's physical problems, it is only her.
Heloise brought Eve to meet her, and it was really helpless.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
The magnetic voice soothed Heloise and told her not to worry so much.
"Shouldn't she be the one you should be most worried about right now?"
"I can feel what kind of power is hidden in that good boy's petite body." At the end of the words, he laughed lightly twice.
The breeze from autumn is blowing, and the temperature of the evening has cooled, and there is no longer dry heat, only a hint of coolness to the body.
"Hurry up and bring her to me, I'm not sure if what I've left behind will work."
With the rustling of leaves, the black sparrows rose in the wind, leaving only one last word of advice.
Listening to the woman's voice, Heloise's eyes were slightly distracted, and it wasn't until Eve called out to her that she realized she had stopped at some point.
"Grandma!"
Eve stopped and stayed where she was, the golden glow covering her with a hazy veil, her eyes narrowed into a crooked crescent, and her fair and clean face still had a bright smile.
Eve waved her slender left hand, as if urging her grandmother.
Heloise looked at the girl waiting for her, and the smile on her face was like a beam of light, sweeping away the gloom in Heloise's heart.
"Here we are."
She responded to the girl with a smile, her face full of love.
The girl, as if dissatisfied with her grandmother's speed, walked back to Helois's side, her small left hand pulling her rough right hand.
At this time, they seem to be like a pair of ordinary grandchildren.
Forget who you are as the Morning Star Warlock, and forget that you are being watched by the Lord of Dusk.
……
"Squeak-"
The door, which had been open for some years, was slowly opened, and some dim light from outside was sneaking in, stretching the shadow of the owner for a long time.
Ji Yan turned on the turned off light and placed his backpack on the spacious sofa.
In the living room, on the brown-red coffee table, there is a delicate fruit bowl with peeled and cut fruit, and a cup of hot water next to the fruit bowl is emitting white smoke.
Ji Yan lay down on the sofa behind him, and the soft fabric was deeply sunk.
He took out the cultivation manual that the senior gave him today, and while reading it carefully, he took out a toothpick and sent the fruit to his mouth.
Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he suddenly realized, just by turning a few pages, he could feel that what he had learned before was simply unsightly, compared to the real cultivation manual, it was like a firefly compared to the bright moon, there was no comparison at all.
Ji Yan's eyes were full of joy, and he was about to calm down and cultivate.
A reminder is sent.
"Ding-dong-"
"Darren Theodore initiated a video chat with you."
"Answer or not."
