Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

Claire talked about a lot of possible war situations, some known information about the enemy and her own side. These were all information that she could only get because of her mentor and the family behind her. Most regular wizards didn't know as much as she did.

But as she was talking, she suddenly felt a little heavy on her shoulders.

"Luna?"

The silver-haired girl beside her fell down completely, her delicate face resting on her shoulder, with a sleepy expression:

"Haa ...

Luna tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and soon closed her eyes completely. Her breathing became regular.

"If you want to sleep, go to bed!"

Claire said helplessly, but the silver-haired girl beside her didn't react. She stretched out her hand and hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't push her away.

"I always feel like I've encountered a similar scene there."

It was the night when we first met. Claire exhausted her mental strength and fainted after releasing that unique magic. Looking back, I vaguely remember that I fell asleep leaning on her.

"It was the first time I was so close to another girl. And it was the first night we met. Even thinking about it now, it feels so wonderful."

After a long time, this happened again, except that their positions seemed to have been reversed, and now she fell asleep beside him.

The girl thought about the things that happened in those days that seemed so distant. The corners of her mouth sometimes relaxed, sometimes pursed, and occasionally a smile appeared on her face, and sometimes she became angry.

She laid the silver-haired girl on her knees, sometimes rubbing her soft and white cheeks, and sometimes playing with her smooth silver long hair.

Before I knew it, the light outside the window gradually dimmed.

"Ah, why is it so late?"

As if she was completely unaware of the passage of time, Claire only noticed that it was getting late when she looked up by chance.

"You're like this... Never mind, just sleep here with me. Clothes... Hehe, I got really scared when I woke up in your bed that morning. Now it's your turn!"

With a mischievous smile, she began to gently pull off Luna's clothes. However, the girl's face became redder and her fingers began to tremble, betraying her mood.

"You've grown a lot recently... but there's still a gap between you and me..."

"Come to think of it, I still remember the strange dream I had that day. I dreamed of you and me... If you were awake, I wouldn't dare tell you..."

52. Before departure

When she woke up the next day, Luna felt something soft covering her face.

A hint of the girl's body fragrance entered her nose. Luna, who was still a little dazed, opened her eyes a little, but all she saw was a white mass.

"On the face... on the face there is something——"

Her movements seemed to have woken up the people next to her, and a faint voice of a girl mumbling in her sleep could be heard above her head:

"No... I didn't kiss! The face... The face doesn't count..."

After a while, Luna woke up. She didn't move, but kept a strange posture and asked:

"What were you talking about just now? What about kissing or not?"

Claire seemed to wake up, but her voice was a little weak:

"If... I mean, if a girl secretly kisses you on the cheek, it shouldn't be a big deal, right? I heard that good friends often do this."

Luna heard her heartbeat getting louder, and she was silent for a moment:

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Between girls... it's not a big deal to kiss secretly while they're sleeping! It's just a friendly gesture."

She said righteously.

"Ah, that's good... By the way, Luna, aren't you going to get up? I'm feeling a little under the weather."

“But I feel pretty comfortable this way!”

She still didn't move, but rubbed her cheek gently against that plump place. Her heartbeat in her ears quickened again.

"Hey! Get up!"

Claire pulled the quilt completely off.

......

The early morning incident was just a minor incident, and the two quickly returned to normal. Claire began to pack her luggage shortly after breakfast, and she kept stuffing things into the bag.

After just a few glances, Luna had the illusion that she was a pauper. As an apprentice, the wealth she had accumulated with great effort was simply not worth mentioning.

"This mission may take a long time, so don't count on the organization to provide you with follow-up supplies. Try to bring everything you can."

Before leaving, Claire kept muttering a lot in my ear, and finally left reluctantly.

"Take care of yourself. You like adventures too much, you must change this habit. This time is different from the past..."

"I know. Goodbye, Mom Claire!"

"Hey! Don't die!"

This time, maybe we won't see each other for a long time. Luna couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

She returned to the apprentice dormitory, packed her things, and headed directly to her mentor's house.

Luna planned to spend the last few days of her free time here, and she could borrow Enissa's alchemy facilities to make a few more things.

"tutor?"

As soon as she got there, she saw Anissa, whom she hadn't seen for a while.

This time, Anissa looked the same as when they first met, a charming and sexy woman with purple hair, exuding a strong aura of charm.

This seems to be the state when her fighting will is stronger. Usually when she is in a good mood, she likes to use the image of a slender girl with blue hair.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

"You're here."

Anessa exuded a cold murderous aura and a smell of blood. She was like a rose with thorns, and a dangerous aura continued to emanate from her.

"I will be going out on a mission again soon. I will be fighting in a deep area. I will not be able to take care of you this time. You have to find a way to survive on your own."

"Well, thank you for the reminder, mentor."

Because of Enissa's special talent, she is basically not in the same battlefield as most formal wizards. Instead, she will go deep behind enemy lines and carry out more dangerous activities.

"Take this. I won't give you any more help. If you want to become stronger as a commoner, you must go through more hardships."

She threw a necklace to Luna. The whole necklace was silver-white with an aqua blue gem in the middle, which was somewhat similar to Luna's appearance and temperament.

After saying that, Enissa turned and left, going deep into the castle.

Luna didn't dare to rush in, and could only stand there blankly. She used her mental power to sense the alchemical item, and after a long time, she whispered:

"Give me this kind of thing, how can it be used as a sharpening tool?"

She had a complicated look on her face. She could give Claire a few alchemical items she made. But to Enissa, no matter what she said or did, it was insignificant.

We can only try not to disturb each other.

......

On the third day, Anissa left.

During this period, the number of wizards in the Dark Ring Headquarters has been decreasing, and the originally bustling place has become deserted.

At this point, even the apprentice who was slow to react realized that something was wrong.

Luna basically stayed in the alchemy laboratory. When she occasionally went out to the market to buy materials, she found that many apprentices had disappeared.

On the tenth day, she received a mission notification from the Dark Ring, which was directly displayed on the apprentice's badge.

"Intermediate apprentice Luna, please gather at the north entrance of the headquarters tomorrow and wait for the official wizard to dispatch you. You will be on a long-term mission and cannot be changed or shirked. Those who do not carry out the mission will be considered as betraying the organization and will be wanted by the organization."

If you are wanted by a wizarding organization, your fate is usually not good.

"Is it finally here?"

Luna had been prepared for this long time. When the time came, she suddenly found that she was not as panicked as she had imagined. Instead, her whole body was trembling slightly, and she was filled with excitement.

"Maybe, I really like the thrill of life and death in adventures..."

She hadn't been out much in half a year, and when she did go out, she only fought some weak monsters. To be honest, she was tired of it.

She still remembers the excitement she felt when she killed a formal wizard.

The next day, Luna went to the meeting place, carrying a large backpack half her height and wearing a gray-black cloak.

She met many familiar faces here, most of whom were apprentices from the same batch as her.

"Lulu...Luna, is that you?"

In the crowd, Senna, who was also carrying a large backpack, saw her and ran over with a smile, but became hesitant when she got closer.

"That's me. It seems we are all in the same group."

Luna lifted the hood that almost covered most of her face, revealing her beautiful and delicate girlish face.

"Why cover it so tightly?"

"Be low-key out there."

The wide cloak she was wearing covered more than 90% of her body. It could be said that not much of her body was exposed, making her look completely suspicious.

"Although your appearance is indeed conspicuous, this is even more eye-catching!"

Senna couldn't help but marvel.

"leave me alone."

Luna was also very depressed. She had attracted two vampires before and after, and she didn't know what caused it. She had carved this cloak with alchemical runes that concealed the smell.

"Are you all here? I repeat, if you don't complete the mission this time, you will be abandoned by the organization in the future."

The arrival of a formal wizard interrupted the conversation of the young apprentices.

53. Teammates

With the arrival of the official wizard, the apprentices who were originally talking immediately stopped, waiting for the words of the adult who would dominate their fate.

The formal wizard, who was wearing a wizard robe and exuding a strong aura, glanced at the apprentices and said:

"No matter how much you know, I will now tell you again in general terms."

"A foreign blood tribe has invaded our Dark Ring's sphere of influence and launched exploratory attacks from all directions. A considerable number of them have already entered the four duchies and caused destruction."

"For hundreds of years, the Four Duchies have been completely controlled by our Dark Ring, providing a steady stream of resources and talents. Most of the apprentices present are also from the Four Duchies."

"Now the war is about to come. This is a life-and-death struggle. No one can escape it! Apprentices present here! If you still have a bit of wizard dignity, take up arms to resist and kill those invaders who dare to invade our homeland!"

The wizard's speech was quite contagious, and the apprentices got a little excited. But wizards are not warriors, and most wizards' first lesson is to learn to stay calm, and few of the apprentices present were really excited to kill the enemy.

The official wizard didn't care and continued as if it was a routine matter:

"Your mission is to garrison the remote areas of the four principalities, responsible for resisting the enemy, collecting information about the vampires, and reporting any findings to the organization. This mission will not be short."

Then, he gave some more precautions. After the apprentices had digested them, he put on a serious face and began to distribute them:

"You are all going to the Principality of Fusa. The 137 apprentices present will be divided into 27 teams to guard the town until the organization announces the end of the mission..."

"Next, we'll take roll call. Team one, Code, Xiuen..."

"...Team 11, Dole Fansi, Eld Kren, Hailey Fowles, Luna, Senna Kren. Your team leader is Dole, go to Dark Cliff City in the east of the Principality to garrison."

Luna listened carefully and soon heard her name. Senna, who was beside her, couldn't hide her joy:

"That's great! We are on the same team! But it's a pity that the unlucky Jie Li is not with us."

Luna looked a little strange, and whispered to her:

"Didn't you notice? We are all from the same class and we all have the same last name except mine."

"Well, it seems so."

Senna was still confused as to what was going on, so Luna simply explained to her:
