Mage Joan

Chapter 880: Different Eyes

The moment he turned around, Joan saw Ms. Betty flirting with Professor Moriarty. At the same time, he also saw the eyeball behind Ms. Betty's neck suddenly open!

When she was flirting with Professor Moriarty, she still had the time to wink at Joan with the strange eyes on the back of her neck, and the eyes flashed... how should I put it, almost seductive.

Joan was sure of his judgment.

Ms. Betty is using the "Different Eye Seal" to release some kind of charm spell on him.

Joan was too scared to think too much, hurriedly closed the door, and ran down the stairs like flying.

...

Joan wandered the streets of Fort Donning for two hours. When it was almost dusk, he received the "SMS" from Professor Moriarty and returned to the "Museum of Species" to meet his instructor.

As soon as Joan arrived at the door, he saw a familiar carriage parked by the side of the road. It was the "Phantom carriage" summoned by the mentor.

Ms. Betty accompanied Professor Moriarty down from the second floor, and the two looked radiant as they walked and chatted.

Qiao An didn't want to disturb them saying goodbye, so he waited by the carriage.

Although he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, the conversation between the mentor and Ms. Betty still had a few words drifting into his ears with the wind.

Fortunately, they didn't show their affection too much in public, and the topics they talked about were more serious. The main reason was that Ms. Betty told Professor Moriarty to pay attention to safety in the Baden Hot Spring Resort.

When Joan heard this, he naturally had doubts.

Could it be that in a health resort known for sightseeing and vacations, even the most basic safety issues of tourists are not guaranteed?

If so, how to do business?

Thinking of this, he pricked up his ears to listen to Ms. Betty's subsequent explanation.

"Actually, I also heard from a friend who opened a tavern in the hot spring town that in recent years, every summer, there are often single tourists who mysteriously disappear in the Baden wetlands."

"The police in Wenquan Town investigated this, but they didn't get any clues worth mentioning. They can only think that the tourists who hunted waterfowl in the wetland were unlucky. .”

"This explanation sounds reasonable, but there is another more sensational rumor in the local area, saying that there are monsters entrenched in the depths of the wetlands, and they come out to wander around every time the sun goes down, hunting and killing lonely tourists. food."

"While there is no conclusive evidence of sightings, this dire rumor has already had a negative impact on the local tourism industry."

"Especially in the area where the disappearance happened, the surrounding hotels, taverns, casinos and brothels have been affected by the rumors, and the business is obviously not as good as before."

"In order to change this sluggish situation, the operators of these shops raised a large sum of money and offered a huge reward in the name of the Hot Spring Town Chamber of Commerce to investigate the truth about the disappearance of tourists."

"The merchants have made two clear requirements for the adventurers who are eager to win this bounty."

"If the rumors about monsters killing people are true, find out those monsters wandering around the swamps and hot springs, and kill them all, so that there will be no future troubles."

"If it turns out that there is no monster in the end, but someone is using accidents to fabricate rumors in an attempt to suppress competitors in the business field, find out the guy who fabricated this vicious rumor and find out who is behind it."

...

Joan was listening intently when Betty came to the carriage holding Professor Moriarty's arm.

After the two kissed each other's cheeks and said goodbye, Professor Moriarty boarded the carriage.

Joan was about to follow her mentor into the car when Betty grabbed her wrist.

"You are..."

Joan stared blankly at Ms. Banzhuoer who blocked her from getting into the car, at a loss.

Betty smiled mysteriously. , turned to Professor Moriarty and said, "Honey, I want to say a few words to your students alone, don't you mind?"

"I don't mind, but you'd better seek Joan's opinion first. As far as I know, he doesn't like women who are too proactive."

Professor Moriarty said with a half-smile.

"Look where you're thinking! He has something very serious to tell Joan!"

Betty gave the professor a blank look, without consulting Joan at all, and forcibly dragged him to a secluded corner.

Qiao An was very helpless and could only let her manipulate her.

Betty glanced at the carriage and confirmed that Professor Moriarty had his back to this side. The distance was too far to hear what she was about to say, so she let go of Joan's hand and showed a charming smile.

"Dear little baby, I want to ask you a little favor, I think you won't refuse cruelly, will you?"

"If you can change what you call me, otherwise I don't rule out the possibility of refusing."

Joan didn't hide his displeasure.

"Why, baby, do you think my address to you is not affectionate enough?"

Betty stared in feigned surprise.

"On the contrary, it's too affectionate!"

Joan couldn't help complaining.

Betty laughed, not taking his protest seriously.

Joann didn't understand what was so funny about it.

Seeing Ms. Betty's indifference, he couldn't help wondering whether his reaction might be too extreme?

Compared with Ms. Betty's open-mindedness and boldness, as a big man, it does seem a bit petty to care about such insignificant things.

Thinking of this, he lost the motivation to fight, and he muttered helplessly: "Forget it, do as you please."

Ms. Betty smiled triumphantly, as if she was celebrating her victory, and then took his hand, her expression became extraordinarily gentle.

"Little darling, when you arrive in Hot Spring Town, you must keep an eye on your mentor for me. Don't let him rekindle his old relationship with his ex-girlfriend Josephine and ruin his engagement ceremony."

"Don't worry, the instructor will never do such a disgraceful thing." Qiao An assured her solemnly.

"That's not necessarily true. After all, you have only studied with Moriarty for a short time, and you don't know enough about his style..."

Betty sighed and stopped talking.

Qiao An told her to look lonely, and couldn't bear it in her heart, so she reluctantly made a promise.

"I will keep your advice in mind, Ms. Betty, but I can't guarantee that the instructor will pay attention to my advice."
