Chapter 1692 Medea's Marriage

Professor Moriarty's expression changed from curiosity to surprise, and then turned into an ambiguous expression that was half a smile, and he patted Joan on the shoulder, and comforted him earnestly: "My child, this is life, you have to be strong face it all.”

Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized the instructor's intentions, her face flushed with embarrassment, she quickly shook her head and said, "You misunderstood, Medea and I are just partners, not the relationship you thought..."

"Well, my poor child, there is no need to explain."

Professor Moriarty put his arms around the student's shoulders, and his tone of voice showed sympathy from the bottom of his heart.

"You should still remember that when Josephine was planning to get engaged to David Kaufman last spring, she also sent an invitation to my ex-boyfriend to invite me to her engagement banquet, so I can fully understand your current situation. Feeling."

Joan twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly, and simply didn't bother to argue, and asked the instructor straightforwardly: "Do you think I should accept the invitation to attend Medea's wedding?"

"Of course we're going!" Professor Moriarty replied decisively, "Not only are we going to attend the wedding, but we're also going to make a big fuss, ruining their wedding!"

Joan was dumbfounded, and it took a long while before he asked tentatively, "Are you joking?"

Professor Moriarty laughed dryly, and did not answer his question directly. Instead, he seemed very enthusiastic and offered to accompany him to the wedding.

"If you think it is necessary, Joan, I don't mind turning into a young and beautiful girl, pretending to be your new girlfriend, and helping you stand up in front of Ms. Gauguin and her fiancé, so as not to be looked down upon by them."

"Thank you for your kindness, but this bad idea will be avoided!"

"You really don't need me to go with you?"

"No need!" Joan shook her head firmly.

"Well, then I can only wish you luck."

Professor Moriarty shrugged in disappointment, and no longer insisted on accompanying him.

Joan didn't make a sound, but couldn't help but frown.

Medea's letter was only a few words, and she didn't say much about the upcoming wedding. It seemed that this was just an insignificant matter, but Joan felt from the few words that Medea seemed unwilling to enter into a marriage contract. What's more, what she is going to marry is precisely her old enemy for many years - Janus Bloodstone, the owner of Abyss Dragon Nest.

Enemies who were originally at odds are suddenly getting married. It sounds incredible at first glance, but in fact there is a realistic logic.

After the Battle of the Dusk Plain, the dispute between the two colonies in the north and the south on the ground battlefield came to an end, but in the underground world, the conflict between the two sides for the magic crystal vein continued.

Since the fall of Abyss Fort, Master Fei has gained control of the air in the Abyss mining area, and the mining area on the Midgard side has been exposed to the guns of the fortress, so they had to abandon the existing territory and retreat to a safe area.

The Jotunheim mining area took the opportunity to expand and annexed a large area of ​​the Midgard mining area.

The Abyss Dragon Nest, which was employed by the Jotunheim Colonial Company, also took this opportunity to expand its power.

Li Xini Bloodstone, the young master of Abyss Dragon Nest, was killed by Qiao An and Far East Foreign Minister Kun Tiliang in the conflict over the mining area, and his soul was also sucked into the "soul-binding bottle" by Qiao An.

The old black dragon Janus Bloodstone was furious when he heard the bad news, and vowed to avenge his son.

Joan and Quintilian were not residents of the underground world. It was inconvenient for Janus to trouble them, so he vented his anger on the stone-blind barbarian mercenaries employed in the Midgard mining area. A large group of snakemen raided the Midgard mining area and killed many stone-blind barbarians. They were still not relieved, and they let out words to make Medea Gauguin, the patron of the stone-blind barbarians, responsible for the tragic death of his son.

Joan had learned about these things from Medea's letter before, and thought that the old black dragon was going to officially declare war on the Temple of Silence, so she wrote back to Medea, as long as she needed, she could go to the Hall of Silence at any time to help her fight against the old black dragon and the Temple of Silence. The aggressive offensive of the snake people.

However, instead of asking him to help against Janus, Medea invited him to attend her wedding with the cruel and vicious old black dragon, which is really unexpected!

The more Joan thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She suspected that Medea did not enter into a marriage contract with Janus voluntarily, but was more likely to be threatened by the other party. In order to protect Gray Bird and her people from the persecution of the old black dragon and the snake people, Had to compromise and sacrifice himself for peace.

On the other hand, Joan also doesn't think that the old black dragon is sincerely in love with Medea. The reason why he proposed to her is more likely to be coveted for beauty and ambition for power, trying to annex Medea in the name of marriage. The Hall of Silence, just as he had annexed the Abyssal Snake Cave in the same way.

Although there were many doubts in her heart, after thinking about it, Joan still felt that she should follow the advice of her mentor and accept Medea's invitation to attend her wedding banquet.

The most important thing is to ask Medea face-to-face, whether this paper marriage contract between her and Janus Bloodstone is voluntary, or is it a forced contract of prostitution.

If it's the latter situation, Joan, as Medea's friend, of course can't just sit back and watch her jump into the fire pit, and should reach out to her no matter what, even if it means making enemies with that vicious old black dragon. No hesitation—he has already killed his son Lixini Bloodstone anyway, and he has already formed an inextricable hatred. Joan doesn't mind slaughtering another evil dragon and sending Janus Bloodstone into the "soul-binding bottle" Reunited with his son.

The wedding between Medea and Janus was scheduled to be held at noon on September 29th. Joan teleported to the trading post near "Abyss Mire" one day in advance. Talk, and find out if there's something else behind her engagement to Janus Bloodstone.

Joan left the trading post and leaped over the swamp in the form of a beeman. After a short while, he arrived at the wetland island where the "Silent Temple" was located. The figure of the blind barbarian immediately realized that the atmosphere was wrong!

This doesn't look like a venue for an upcoming wedding, it's clearly a tightly sealed prison!

The scene before her eyes further verified Joan's guess: Medea probably did not marry the old black dragon out of her own will, but was forced to enter into a marriage contract under the force of the other party.

Since there are snakemen patrolling the outside of the Hall of Silence, it is conceivable that Medea is probably under house arrest, and there are snakemen watching around her at all times. Even if Joan sneaks into the Hall of Silence invisible, it is difficult to find a chance to contact her alone.

Joan landed behind a stalagmite, secretly observed the movement on the island, and thought about how to get in touch with Medea.
