Chapter 365 23. The Escape Master
“Ai Xue?”
Xiana’s mother woke up and called softly, reaching out from the quilt and touching the magic lamp.
Scenes appeared in front of Annan's eyes: Xian Na's mother turned on the light and saw him. The guards who came after hearing the news arrested him, so he was disqualified from participating in the competition. Without qualifications, she will lose her fiefdom. Without her fiefdom, she will become the plaything of a noble lady in the future... She must not be allowed to turn on the light!
Annan, who had always used magic to solve problems, used his strength for the first time, threw himself on the bed, and covered Xina's mother with a velvet quilt.
At first, Xian Na's mother was still struggling, bumping Annan like a small wooden boat facing huge waves. During this period, two white hands stretched out and grabbed Annan. Annan was prepared to be scratched by Xian Na's mother. When the waving hands fell on his shoulders and cheeks, it did hurt him a little. But after a while, Xian Na's mother stopped struggling and grabbed Annan's hand. It also covered Annan's face like a gentle caress, leaving only the chest rising and falling rapidly through the quilt.
Annan guessed that she was suffering from lack of oxygen or strength. He took advantage of the gap to regain his composure and found a way out. He lifted up the quilt and stuffed Xina's mother's hands into the quilt, then rushed to the terrace, opened the door and climbed over the guardrail. .
One last look at the bedroom that made him nostalgic - the dressing table seemed to shine like gold coins, and he resolutely jumped from the terrace into the flower garden below.
Fortunately, it is early winter now, and those thorny flowers have long since withered. Annan, who fell into the soft soil, looked up, erased the footprints in the flower bed, and ran to talk to the fairy with his right leg, which was a little painful from the shock. Meet Na.
On the other side, Xiana led Annan and Martin out of the manor and hurried back to the mansion. As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I heard my mother's call echoing in the corridor.
"Mom, it's me, what's wrong?" Xian Na came to the door after arranging her hair.
"Where's the housekeeper?"
"I'm a little hungry, so I asked her to prepare some food..."
"Go find the cook yourself and ask her Get my pajamas, I had a nightmare and sweated a little."
Annan was not found?
Xian Na thought that her mother's voice was lazy. She must be too sleepy and thought she was dreaming.
"I'll call her."
Xianna just answered when her mother's words came out from behind the door: "Also, the housekeeper only serves me, don't let her do things for you if you have nothing to do. . "
Remembering that her sister can order the housekeeper at any time, sadness flashed in the eyes of the girl outside the door.
……
The next day, Annan came to the college normally.
The early morning sunshine was not enough to withstand the coldness of the last day of November. There was no eager guard in front of the door of Solz Magic Academy, only Alice.
“What’s wrong with your foot?”
Alice found that Annan’s right foot took a shorter time to land on the ground
“Well...it was scratched by Lily who had a nightmare. .”
In the bedroom, Lily, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, twitched.
"Lily used to be a wild cat, and the wound needs to be cleaned."
"It has already been cleaned."
Annan looked like he didn't want to talk anymore, but Alice didn't. Say anything more. Tomorrow will leave for the imperial capital, and it will be Annan himself who is limping and embarrassed.
"Is Xian Na here?" Annan asked.
"I didn't see her."
"Then go back first, I'll wait for her here."
"Okay."
Annan and Xiana these days It was very close, but Alice had no suspicion. Father said that Annan had no interest in human beings. He only cared about Xana because she was really pitiful... Xana seemed to be a different person these days, weak, sensitive, and no longer confident.
Alice left first, and not long after, the Waters family's carriage stopped outside the college.
Xian Na stepped off the carriage and brought the second best result: they were not discovered, and her mother thought she had a nightmare.
The first best result is to get the jewelry box.
Xiana returned to the classroom and found that Annan had not followed. She asked Luther King and learned that Annan ran to the dean's office. "Do you have anything to do with him?"
"I have something to say to him..." Xian Na stood up and went out, passing the professor in the first class.
The professor ignored her. Most of the professors at Soltz College didn't care whether the students would listen, except Mrs. Vanessa.
At this time, Annan, who knocked on the door and came in, saw the dean and the vice-dean discussing arrangements after departure.
“Can I take a look at the list?”
Annan asked, and Vice Dean Boris quickly handed over the list in a flattering manner.
“Thank you.”
Annan scanned the list. There were only eleven names on it. There are two deans and eight contestants, and there is also Ai Xue Waters
“This Ai Xue is Xian Na’s sister?
Annan’s inquiry was confirmed, thinking of Xian Na Looking like she was hurt by the person closest to her, Na put down the list: "I know Xian Na's mother wants Xian Na's sister to replace her. I don't care about her, but Xian Na must be with us. "
Annan can't let the other contestants quit. He can't deprive them of the experience they can brag about for a lifetime, even if only Annan works among the eight contestants.
Xianna outside the door covered her mouth uncontrollably. .
"My long-distance portal can only allow eleven people to pass through." The dean said.
He did not reject Annan, but looked at the deputy dean: "Boris..."
"Dean, don't worry, the college will be left to me in the next few days!" Dean puffed out his chest, an action that made the buttons of his clothes tighter.
"What I mean is, let you lead the team to the imperial capital."
The vice dean was stunned and glanced at Annan: "Dean, that is an honor among the top ten in the empire... ”
The top ten Solz Magic Academy is very satisfied. Who knows what monsters will appear in the empire.
“My life is still very long, but you don’t have many chances.” Epic mage, half-immortal species, Dean Breshim said.
"Dean..."
Annan suddenly interrupted their friendship: "Is Mrs. Waters very powerful? Why can't she be rejected? And if Waters The family is really powerful... Why don’t you go to the royal capital yourself?”
“Because you are actually helping us.”
The dean revealed the secret that Annan already knew: the relationship between the Waters family and the Montreal Gold Family.
It was confirmed that the team would be led by Vice Dean Boris, and Xiana was also on the list. Annan returned to the classroom with ease.
Annan guessed that it was the deputy dean Boris who snitched on her, otherwise why would Xiana stick to him next?
At noon, Xiana followed Annan and Alice to the cafeteria.
"What do you like to eat?" she asked Annan.
"He likes chicken legs." Suni said not far away.
In order to refute Suni's remarks, Annan refused to eat or look at the chicken legs.
Vice Dean Boris came to the cafeteria again, announced the list, and asked the students on the list to go back early and set off tomorrow morning.
Annan, Alice and Xina happened to be on the list, leaving the lazy Suni back to their respective residences.
The carriage passed by the square, and Annan saw that hangings were being carried out in the square.
Those desperate criminals with dirty hemp ropes around their necks are also closely related to Annan - they are all members of the Fernand Gang.
As for the senior executives who were rescued from the dungeon? Their emaciated corpses were "squeaking" and swaying in the wind on the gallows.
