............
At night, the waning moon hangs high in the sky, and the hazy light shines on the bustling city of England at night.
Royal College, at the foot of the back mountain, in the overgrown weeds, in a dilapidated wooden house, a charming woman in a big wizard's robe walked back and forth in the room with a cold face, and from time to time she would lift some books and pull up drawers...... Seems to be rummaging for something.
This is a dilapidated wooden house in Natsuzo.
And this woman is Fanny.
For Xia Zuo's resounding reputation, Fanny knows very well, the most cowardly student, who can't fight back and scold and doesn't fight back, is so famous in the academy that he can even stand side by side with the eldest sister Kerry, of course, some people have only heard of Xia Zuo, and don't necessarily know him.
Fanny was not against her disciple dating a cowardly student, but the contrast between Xia Zuo and before and after made her alert, Xia Zuo's physical fighting ability was not something that ordinary people could have, so she needed to know something.
There are not many things in Xia Zuo's wooden house, but in addition to daily necessities and a change of clothes, there are many books, all kinds of books, from geography and humanities, to biographies and myths, everything is available, and the entire desk is filled, as Vivian said, Xia Zuo loves to read.
Fanny flipped through it briefly and lost interest, what she was looking for was not these, but Xia Zuo's secrets.
It's a pity that nothing was found, nothing was found, Xia Zuo's room was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, and no information was provided that could be pursued, which was very unusual, normal people would not have "processed" their residence so cleanly, leaving no information at all.
Fanny's mind grew more and more solemn, it was so unusual that if she hadn't seen it in the ring with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the fourteen-year-old Xia Zuo was the top martial artist in the ring, and now, after finding nothing, she seemed to realize something.
What Xia Zuo wants to hide is not only his powerful physical fighting ability, but he also has deeper secrets waiting to be discovered. As a senior teacher in the academy, Fanny has the obligation to eradicate hidden dangers in time when she discovers them, not to mention that her beloved apprentice Vivian and Xia Zuo are still so close.
Fanny gave up searching, since Xia Zuo was aware of precautions, the probability of her trying to find something was very low, and it would be a waste of time to look for it again.
Leaving Xia Zuo's dilapidated wooden house, the great wizard Fanny rose into the sky, turned into a green streamer, shot away, and soon fell on the balcony on the second floor of his villa.
Pushing open the balcony door, Fanny went straight into the bedroom, took off her wizard's robes, and changed into a clean nightgown, Fanny lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling in thought, her eyes blinking, and her fingers subconsciously tapping on the velvet quilt.
After a few moments, Fanny frowned, got up, got out of bed, and walked to the table beside her.
It was a long blue-black solid wood table, with nothing but a round object the size of a human head, and the round object, covered in a black cloth, could not be seen as anything.
Fanny grabbed the black cloth with her hand, hesitated for a moment, and tore off the black cloth and threw it aside.
A round crystal ball was revealed, almost completely transparent, and looked extremely crystalline, even in the dim light.
Fanny dragged the crystal ball with both hands, and the crystal ball suddenly lit up with a misty light, and Fanny slowly raised her hands until it was level with her chest, and the crystal ball also rose with her hand, leaving the base and floating.
Fanny closed her eyes, her lips twitching: "Merlin, the great wizarding god...... Your devotees beseech your gift ......"
As Fanny whispered silently, the light of the crystal ball became brighter and brighter, and a mist rose inside, and then there was a flow of air, which completely disturbed the fog, and Fanny muttered for half a minute, and opened her eyes when she pronounced the last syllable.
At the same time, the fog in the crystal ball dispersed to both sides, and in the middle, a picture appeared.
In the quiet and dimly lit alley, the thin boy wrapped in a black robe, curled up in the corner, his face pale, blood all over his neck and chest.
Opposite the boy, a woman with short silver hair dropped her dagger on the ground.
.........
Xia Zuo didn't understand why his life, which had been smooth, would take a sharp turn today, first he was almost killed by a vampire, he was saved by a werewolf and escaped, and now, the werewolf came to kill him.
Everything came too suddenly, Xia Zuo could only smile bitterly except for cursing Eve in his heart, who could blame him? If he hadn't coveted Eve's beauty, the situation would not have been like this, and he would have slept in the academy at this time.
"Is she dead?" said Xia Zuo, shrinking into the corner of the wall.
"I injured her and ran away!" Adele replied indifferently, paused, looked at Xia Zuo and said: "Kill yourself, you have been bitten by filthy vampires, and you will become their filthy kindred as soon as the morning dawns, and this world can no longer tolerate you." It seemed that Xia Zuo didn't understand, and Adele also explained.
"You...... Ahem, how did you find me?" Xia Zuo asked weakly as he coughed twice in the corner.
"You're talking too much. Adele replied indifferently.
Xia Zuo's face under the mask was flushed with sadness, the corners of his mouth were pulling, he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing, he coughed twice, glanced at Adele, leaned over and reached out to touch the dagger on the ground, touched the dagger in his hand, and climbed up straight against the wall with difficulty, Xia Zuo held the dagger with both hands and looked at it through the hazy light.
The golden handle, the tail is engraved with a wolf's head, the dagger blade is slender, slightly curved, exuding a sharp cold aura, and it does not look mortal.
"Good thing......" Xia Zuo smiled, his eyes red and tears rolling in his eyes.
"Vampire...... Werewolf...... Ha Lu Ha ......" Xia Zuo muttered, pointed the tip of the dagger at his left chest with his backhand, looked up at Adele, Xia Zuo said in a dry voice: "Burn me, okay? Don't let people see my corpse......"
"Okay!" Adele simply responded, in fact, that is exactly what she needs to do, when she destroys vampires, she will destroy the corpse, and now Xia Zuo is still a human, so Adele didn't kill him with her own hands, but the post-mortem process is the same, and leaving the body here will cause panic, and she must deal with it.
"Bye!" Xia Zuo squeezed out the last sentence from his throat with difficulty, blinked his eyes slightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
Yikes!
The dagger stabbed in from Xia Zuo's left chest in response, and rushed out from Xia Zuo's back, Xia Zuo's body shook violently, blood gushed from the wound, and the sound of Gragra came out of his throat, and blood foamed uncontrollably from his mouth.
Xia Zuo's feet kicked the ground twice, and the palm of the hand holding the dagger suddenly loosened, hanging down on his abdomen, and his body was crooked, and he was no longer silent.
In the dark alley, there was silence, and Adele's indifferent face did not appear moved by Xia Zuo's self-determination, but sighed inexplicably.
She slowly walked towards Xia Zuo.
