Chapter 2445 Refuge
"The mentor is here, why is it worse?" Qiao An looked at Duo'er in surprise.
"Seeing my laboratory being ruined by thugs like that, with my master's temper, I will definitely take revenge on those thugs. Not only will the lives of those who participated in this atrocity be lost, but their families and friends may also suffer."
"Those thugs are of course hateful, but in all fairness, they are just tools to be incited. They are puppets who can't help themselves like me, and they can't die. That's why I dare not let the master come forward."
Looking up at Qiao An, Duo'er's eyes were extremely complicated.
"In that situation, I was very scared, and I didn't want to make a big fuss. The only choice was to ask you for help. Dr. Vader, you are an upright and kind-hearted person. You will definitely come to help me, and you can't bear to My compatriots killed me, am I right?"
Qiao An sighed, and had to admit that Duo Er had seen him thoroughly and made a wise decision.
"Let's not talk about this first, let's go."
Holding Duo'er's hand, Qiao An cast a spell to take her to the ranch in Hot Spring Town, far away from the vortex of right and wrong, to avoid the limelight.
Professor Moriarty was not at the ranch. Joan settled Duoer first, and then sent a letter to the tutor to report the riots on campus this morning.
After half an hour, Joann received a reply from Professor Moriarty.
Just as Duoer guessed, Mr. Professor didn't care much about the fact that his laboratory was destroyed by thugs, and even gloated that it was the property of Midgard University, and whoever destroyed it should be responsible for the compensation , anyway, he doesn't need to redecorate at his own expense.
What made Qiao An even more depressed was that the tutor didn't mention Duo'er who was almost bullied by the thugs in the letter, as if she didn't exist at all.
Qiao An was so angry that he sent him another letter, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. If the turmoil is not calmed down as soon as possible, it may have a negative impact on his reputation.
At the end of this letter, Joan specifically told the tutor that Duo'er was frightened a lot during the turmoil, and has been taken back to the ranch by him to take refuge, hoping that the tutor will come back as soon as possible to appease her.
After waiting until noon, Joan finally received a reply from Professor Moriarty.
Mr. Professor is still in that indifferent tone, claiming that he has decided to resign from his teaching position, earn enough money to spend a lifetime, and enjoy life for the rest of his life, and he is too lazy to get involved in disputes in school or in society.
As for Duo Er, Professor Moriarty instead complained that Joan made a fuss over a molehill.
"Duo'er is not a child, she has the ability to protect herself, so you don't need to be too nervous."
"Isn't she all right now? Just let her live in the ranch. With you taking care of her, I have nothing to worry about."
"Sorry, I'm dating Betty. After lunch, we plan to go to the theater to watch a show, and to spend the night at her house. You and Duo'er don't have to wait for me to go back for dinner."
After reading the tutor's second reply letter, Joan became more and more angry, and ate two large iced watermelons in extreme anger.
Duo'er was frightened by him, fearing that he would ruin his stomach, so she carried the last watermelon into the kitchen and hid it.
Joan was afraid that Doer would be hurt by Professor Moriarty's indifferent attitude, so she only told her that the tutor was busy entertaining friends and would not be back today.
Duoer has long been used to the host's neglect, so she was calm about this place, and didn't ask which friend Professor Moriarty was entertaining. She tied up her apron, got a bucket and a mop, and cleaned up happily.
Joan wasn't as open-minded as she was. The name that the tutor inadvertently mentioned in the letter touched another part of his heart, and he felt faintly uneasy.
Who is Joan afraid of the most in this world?
"Mother of Demonic Wolves" Angel Boda may not be the only answer. Ms. Betty François Fantine, a half-drow warlock from Castle Donning, is also a strong candidate.
Since the first visit to Donning Castle with his mentor many years ago, the coquettish and gorgeous Ms. Betty has caused a psychological shadow on the young mage, and I still feel a little nervous when I think about it.
Joan's fear of Ms. Betty is manifold.
First of all, the bohemian demeanor of this half-drow woman made him very unbearable, and she always seduced him with half-truths for fun, and he was the worst at dealing with such "bitch-like" women. Meeting Betty would have been embarrassing for him.
In addition, Betty's special blood also made him feel strongly threatened.
This woman has the same bloodline as Joan from "Mother of Monsters" Ekadna, and has the same "Different Eye Seal".
Every time he met Betty, the deformed eyeball on the back of Joan's neck would respond, which made him worry that Betty might also respond to him and become suspicious.
Both Professor Moriarty and Sir Custis had told Joan that there was an underground sect called "The Fraternity of Our Lady" in Castle Donning, and its members were all followers of the "Mother of Monsters". The backbones call themselves "religionists", and most of them have the holy seal granted by the "Mother of Monsters".
Joan never forgot her grandfather's entrustment before he died. She didn't want to let the strange blood in her body dominate her will, and she didn't want to become a monster that lost her humanity. For so many years, he has been working hard to suppress the "Sacred Seal of Different Eyes", and he does not want to have anything to do with the believers of the "Mother of Monsters".
Compared with the teachings of the "Brotherhood of Our Lady", Joan agrees with Sir Custis' creed more, which means that he has chosen a camp that is incompatible with the "Brotherhood of Our Lady".
Ms. Betty's status in the "Brotherhood of Our Lady" is second only to her boss Dinin, and perhaps Governor Winthrop of Jotunheim, equivalent to the third leader of this cult group.
Joan learned from Mrs. Josephine that Betty's relationship with Professor Moriarty was not only because of love, but also shouldered an important mission, which was to draw Professor Moriarty into the "Brotherhood of Our Lady".
Of course, Joan didn't want his mentor to join the hostile camp, just as he didn't want to see the Volsunger family form an alliance with the "primitive church", but what could he do?
For so many years, Professor Moriarty has treated his student like his own flesh and blood, and he didn't even dare to show his "Different Eye Sacred Seal" to the tutor. Now he suddenly persuades the tutor not to associate with Betty and the others. Why? ah?
Unless he risked exposing his secret, he couldn't come up with a convincing reason at all.
"Hopefully things don't turn out as bad as I feared..."
In the end, he could only comfort himself in this way.
When he was lost in thought, there was a sudden wave of magic power in front of him, and a ball of red messenger light emerged.
Joan held the ball of light and read Audrey's letter, her expression changed slightly.
