Chapter 3053: Chapter 66: Handover

When several little witches hurriedly arrived at the seaside, riding on small-haired dragons of different colors with Furry Bean, quite a few figures were already standing faintly near the cliff.

Those figures were especially tall, like giants, standing around the cliff as if they were small mountains, quietly watching the distant sea, where the surging magic power intertwined with the roaring sea, rendering the sky and sea exceptionally gloomy.

Zhu Si knew that those ’small mountains’ were the silhouettes of the Big Wizards after releasing part of their true form.

At the same time, she also recognized many familiar figures at a glance—such as Vice Dean Korma of Edge Academy, such as Divination Professor Yi JiaZi, and such as Old Yao, the dean of Jiuyou Academy—she had just teased Old Yao a little bit, and upon seeing this legendary figure, she felt a bit guilty, quietly tugging on the reins of her small-haired dragon to slow down, her eyes drifting elsewhere.

Then she saw some other unfamiliar wizards, only knowing that those faces occasionally appeared at school, but their names and duties were unclear.

However, she was quite sure that those guys in blue robes were from the relevant departments.

Because there was a legend present.

So the little-haired dragons did not dare to fly high—even if they were just bracelets woven from dragon hair—their bellies were almost scraping the ground, which made it impossible for the little witches to see what was happening on the distant sea even when stretching their necks.

Because the Big Wizards had all gone into the sea.

So the cliffs were actually deserted.

The little witches sneaked up the cliff and leaned to the left—Korma’s giant face was just on the left side of the cliff, and Zhu Si and others were almost at Korma’s ear.

"——I heard a ship is coming?"

Zhu Si shouted at Korma—it was probably the easiest Big Wizard for these little witches to approach—she stood on her tiptoes, standing on the back of her small-haired dragon, trying her best to look into the distance: "Where is it?"

The meeting point of the sea and sky was gray and unclear as if it was either mist or the lingering effect of a protection array, making it difficult to see clearly. There was definitively no ship on the sea surface.

"——Didn’t you say there was a ship?" she looked down at Poseidon and Su Ya.

Poseidon looked left and right, his face full of confusion.

"——It was clearly in that direction!" she pointed at the empty water surface, her tone unable to hide her astonishment.

"I can testify, there really was a big ship there just now." Su Ya also pointed assuredly at the distant empty water surface.

Zhu Si knew they weren’t lying.

Otherwise, so many big figures from the school wouldn’t be here.

She looked again at Korma—compared to other elder wizards, this North District’s Great Wise Person was slightly shorter, but the solidity of her silhouette was not much less.

Korma clearly noticed the noise of a few small bugs by her ear; she looked down, glanced at them, and a projection immediately fell, as if a real person, appearing beside the little witches.

"——Councilor Su could come at any time, aren’t you afraid she’ll ground you?"

She shook her head, scooped up the little fox hopping by the cliff, rubbed her small ears, then placed her on the shoulder, pointing into the distance: "Look over there...your Lao Dou has done a lot of big things today!"

Her tone carried a hint of emotion.

A moment ago, she was still at Gini Cottage, browsing through the cooperative agreement brought by the envoy of the Crowley Family. After detecting the alert from Edge Academy, she hurried over, meeting several Big Wizards and legends from the school at the cliff. Just after a brief mental collision, connections among today’s unusual events suddenly became clear to her.

Zhu Si rubbed her ears.

When Fei Rui had just said that someone was up to something, her intuition had guessed it was someone’s doing.

Sure enough.

"——What’s Zheng Qing up to this time?" Li Meng also heard Korma’s words, immediately craning her neck, looking in the direction pointed by the Vice Dean of Edge Academy but still saw nothing.

Not far away, several elderly wizards frowned, giving the little witches a glance, apparently surprised they dared to call out the name of the legendary wizard directly.

"——Lower yourself a little, don’t look so high." Korma pressed Li Meng’s head down, indicating to look down: "On the water, those two potato-like things..."

This analogy was very vivid, and the little witches immediately found the target.

To say ’potato’ wasn’t entirely accurate; those two things looked more like small islands, seemingly covered with dense vegetation from a distance, which was why the little witches didn’t notice them at first. But after Korma pointed them out, they immediately realized their anomaly.

They were slowly approaching Buji Island.

"——That’s not a small island!" Li Meng was the first to recognize their strangeness.

"——It’s a head!" Zhu Si simultaneously made her judgment: "Did some Big Wizards go into the sea? Our Big Wizards? Did they stuff the ship into the sea eye? Didn’t they say it was Zheng Qing’s war prize?"

"Stop mentioning that headache-inducing name."

Korma sighed half-jokingly and simply explained: "Those two ’potatoes’ you see are the heads of a Big Sea Monster and a Big Wizard Demon...they’re here to hand over the school’s spoils...the big ship you saw before was sent by them as a greeting...the real spoils were just dragged back from the North Sea."

Zhu Si suddenly understood—great sea demon and great wizard demon came together, appearing aggressive, no wonder the school was on alert, making so many Big Wizards reveal their true forms—after the misunderstanding was resolved, the Big Wizards still stood by the sea, probably to deter these uninvited guests. She had reason to believe there were likely more than just these two great demons arriving at the sea off Buji Island.

It’s just unknown why the witch demon and the sea demon are in cahoots?

The sea surface rose with towering waves.

Because a row of Big Wizards stood in front, those giant waves only roared a few times before receding. Accompanied by the rolling waves, a huge gray ship adorned with seaweed and shells emerged from the waves between the two ’potatoes’, spewed out seawater, its decaying gray-white hull and masts hung with numerous hideous demon heads, many of which still dripped with fresh blood, their blood-red eyes filled with resentment, their boiling grudges almost dispelling the dark clouds overhead.

"——That’s the Vortex!"

Li Meng immediately identified the big ship.

"——Did he do all this?"

Zhu Si, looking at those hideous demon heads, felt a chill running down her spine, involuntarily lowering her voice.

Korma covered Poseidon’s eyes, slightly shaking her head: "No... he just killed the captain of the Vortex. After negotiating, the sea demons and witch demons decided to return this spoil to the school. As for those things hanging on the masts and ship sides, they are the crew members unwilling to leave the Vortex..."

Her tone was a bit complicated.

"——What do you plan to do with this ship?" Another projection suddenly appeared beside the witches.

It was the dean of Jiuyou Academy.

Korma glanced at him in surprise: "I thought the school..."

"——This is the war prize of Edge Academy, naturally to be decided by Edge Academy."

Old Yao interrupted her, paused, and added with a grin: "But I suggest you park it directly below this cliff, it would not pollute the Academy’s environment, and it’s easy to see from the cliff... This would be a great encouragement for all Edge Academy students."
