Whispering Verse

"Meow?"

After hearing the cat's meow, the two of them looked at little Mia. The cat was now using an awkward posture, stepping on its own cat tail with its front paws, and looking at the flames on Miss Fiona's tail with a surprised look on its face.

Shade probably understood what this smart cat was thinking:

"Your tail cannot be exposed to flames. Although you have the blood of Son of the Sun, if you come into contact with flames rashly, your tail will still be burned into a bald tail. That will not be beautiful. Fiona is not an ordinary person."

But Mia seemed unable to understand such a complicated sentence, still staring at the red dragon girl's tail.

And that tail is slowly stretching towards Shade:

"If you are curious, try to touch it. Only touch it."

Fiona emphasized that although Shade felt that what he was doing was a bit abnormal.

[So you know it too. 】

Although he knew that what he was doing was a bit abnormal, Shade still couldn't control his curiosity and reached out to grab the tail.

In fact, Shade had already touched the tail the last time he was in the cafe, but that time it was only for a moment, but this time he was allowed to catch it directly.

The tail covered with traces of dragon scales was softer than Shade thought, and it was unknown whether it was absorbing the fire of the sun, so the temperature was much higher than the normal body temperature. It seemed that the tail was also densely covered with nerve endings to sense the environment, because Shade noticed that Fiona's face immediately turned red as he gently grabbed it, and the tail was pulled out of his hand:

"Okay, your curiosity should be satisfied."

Fiona turned her body sideways, preventing Shade from seeing her flushed face. This made Shade feel more and more that she might have really done something extraordinary.

Fortunately, this is the fifth era, and Fiona won't talk nonsense about it. If this matter reaches the ears of the girls around him, he will probably be teased for years like Professor Manning.

The way Fiona's tail burned with flames still made the cat lost in thought. And Shade didn't waste time because of the soft tail. He touched his pocket, and the sand of time soaked by the night was brought over as expected:

"Look, I got this."

Fiona took the jar and inspected it in surprise, and was curious why Shade used pepper jars to fill them:

"I actually have one more thing to say."

She returned the Sands of Time to Shade and touched her head embarrassedly:

"The dream of the moon has the effect of healing the spirit and soul. The sleep I fell into after you left, I am not sure how long it lasted, but it did allow me to recover some lost memories."

Without waiting for Shade to ask questions, she took the initiative and said:

"Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode asked me to come here to establish the academy."

She looked at Shade with a flushed face, this was her excited expression:

"Xia De, you and the teachers met the great one [Yahua Gate] in the Forest of Thousand Trees. The gods gave the teachers the knowledge to open up a permanent space that can be used in any dangerous location. , to establish a permanent safe zone. Afterwards, through the knowledge obtained in the library of Gaddis, Miss Feliana determined a location on each of the five continents where the academy could be established. These locations were remote and dangerous, but completely suitable for Feliana Miss’s request.”

"Is Eternal Night City one of them?"

"Yes."

The red-haired girl nodded quickly:

"Miss Feliana and Teacher Olanode went to other locations to investigate. The location assigned to me was relatively safe. The teacher even said that if I succeed, I will be the second one. Principal, I don’t have this ability, Teacher Olanode is probably trying to comfort me. It’s a pity that I lost my luggage.”

The big tail burning with flames swept the ground unconsciously.

Now Shade was absolutely certain that the location they were standing at was most likely the location of St. Byrons in the Sixth Age. But Shade still doesn’t know how Fiona persuaded the God of Night to give this land to St. Byrons.

"Be confident. Since Miss Olenold has chosen you as her apprentice, she has naturally seen your merits. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you should believe in Miss Olenode."

Speaking of which, Shade often encountered young witches who were not so confident. After all, the teachers of young witches are sometimes too dazzling, or in other words, there are too many geniuses in the profession of witch.

Shade thought he was comforting Fiona, but unexpectedly, Fiona became even more depressed after hearing his words:

"The teacher chose me. Teacher Olanode once told me privately that you are the most ideal apprentice in her heart."

Before Shade could think of how to continue this conversation, Fiona continued:

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to exist in our time and space for a long time, and the teacher wouldn't choose me as his apprentice."

Her hands were clasped together and hanging on her chest, her thumbs rubbing together.

Mia was still looking at the tip of her tail.

"I actually don't have the talent of the moon. You can see that I have practiced Moon Dream for so long, and I only have the results now."

The more Fiona spoke, the lower her voice became:

"I'm probably just a substitute. The teacher regards me as your substitute. Every time we talk about you, the teacher and Miss Feliana will praise you for not only preparing dinner for me, but also for breaking rocks with your fists." , teachers rarely praise me."

Shade quietly looked at her little fist and remembered that his "red dragon power" came from the girl in front of him.

As for Fiona's performance at this time, it was obvious that the thoughts she had in her heart were amplified by the special environment of [Eternal Night City]. He has seen this kind of scene many times. This kind of special area is not suitable for normal people to stay at all. Once they stay for too long, it is normal for them to have mental problems.

Fiona Drago, after all, is only at level eleven.

"It's not that Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode like me more than you. You are by their side, but I am not by their side. Memory will beautify a person's image, and I'm afraid they are not used to it. I praise my students in front of my own students. If I are often around them, they will also find many of my shortcomings."

Shade said, seeing Fiona looking at him curiously, he coughed:

"For example, I like playing card games very much, regardless of the occasion. As long as it is not a matter of life and death, I can propose playing cards at any time. Also, my life schedule is very irregular, and I often sleep very late. Secondly, I don’t want to get out of bed.”

He slightly exaggerated his shortcomings.

"It's nothing."

Red Dragon girl whispered, and Shade said again:

"But there is no comparison between you and me. We are different after all. This is just like my cat's tail and your tail are incomparable."

"So, am I a cat's tail? There's no comparison at all, right?"

The red dragon girl's voice became deeper and deeper.

"No, no, no, I mean, I am the only man that the witch can contact. Do you understand? No matter how outstanding you are, no matter how good you are with Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode, you can't be with me. same."

Fiona looked up at him and blinked at him, but Shade had already straightened out his thoughts:

"Fiona, answer me an honest question: You will definitely have your own apprentice in the future. So, will your feelings and opinions about your apprentice be the same as how you treat me? Even if the other person is very outstanding, very outstanding .”

The tail swayed slightly:

"Of course not, no matter how outstanding she is, she can't be with you."

In the middle of speaking, the young girl suddenly raised her head, with an expression of sudden realization on her face.

"Look, you got it."

Shade said with a smile, and Fiona explained:

"But that's because of me."

She lowered her head again, not embarrassed to continue talking. That kiss in the Gaddis Library will never be forgotten by the red dragon girl in her life:

"But Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode don't... um."

She understood again and kept her head lowered, but looked up. Only young girls will look good doing this kind of action:

"I understand, I understand."

The young girl looked at Shade with a very dangerous look, and Shade was very familiar with this look:

"what you up to?"

The witches of the Fifth Age, due to the influence of the times and the surrounding environment, are much bolder than the ladies of the Sixth Age who have various concerns. For Fiona, now that she knows what she wants, she naturally won't hide her thoughts in her heart and wait for Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode to "eliminate" her based on their status.

So just as Shade thought, the red dragon girl put her arms around his neck, jumped up slightly and kissed him.

This time Shade really couldn't get away. No matter how good his physical fitness was, he couldn't compete with the hybrid red dragon.

"Meow~"

Taking this opportunity, little Mia jumped from Shade's shoulder to Fiona's shoulder, then lowered her head and continued to stare at the big burning tail.

"Thank you for explaining this to me, Shade."

After letting go of Shade, Fiona's mood seemed to have completely returned to normal. Not only did her face look much better, but she even smiled from the bottom of her heart:

"Now I am not confused at all. You are right. It is meaningless to compare with you. What I should really compare is the teacher's other apprentices."

There was a bright smile on her face, and she was obviously quite satisfied with what she had done:

"Then let's keep walking. Oh, you said you would accompany me to the end of this journey, and then send me outside safely, Shade, remember to keep your promise."

As he said that, he kissed Shade's side of the face again. Her psychological self-regulation ability is stronger than anyone Shade has ever seen.
