Chapter 207: Explanation
“Someone is here. It’s not convenient for me to receive guests with my current ident.i.ty. I’ll leave it to you,” Claude said at this moment.
Then, before Audrey could react, the robe in her hand suddenly flapped, and she disappeared from her original spot.
Audrey was stunned for a moment. She sensed the familiar auras, and at the same time, the door of the cabin was pushed open.
“Audrey, are you inside?” Klein’s figure appeared in front of the door. “Ahem, what’s going on here? Why is it so choked?”
He raised his hand to his chin and coughed lightly.
Hobart and the others appeared with Klein. Clearly, they had not expected this place to be in such a state. Their expressions were unsightly.
Audrey was silent for a moment. No wonder teacher Claude had asked if she knew them. It turned out to be these few.
“Why are you here?” Audrey calmly placed the book in her hand back on the cabinet.
She did not want to expose her ident.i.ty, and she also did not want them to know that she was studying magic.
After all, after teacher Claude’s explanation, Audrey could imagine what the current situation of magic was like in the eyes of everyone. Even if it was her, if she were to be exposed, she definitely would not have a good ending.
“I originally wanted to look for you to play, but I didn’t expect to see you walking down this path on the way.” Klein rubbed his nose in disgust.
“Why do you think you’re running here now? There hasn’t been anyone living here in the past six months. Look at the dust. There’s enough dust to build a courtyard wall,” Klein ridiculed.
Audrey suddenly felt a restless aura. It was clearly teacher Claude, who was hiding in the tower.
She wanted to laugh. Although she knew that on the surface, there was no one around, teacher Claude had always lived here. He even flipped through the books every day.
She just did not know why it looked so dirty, which led to this misunderstanding.
“No, I just suddenly realized that the books in this yard are interesting, so I just flipped through them.” Audrey retracted her hand and looked at the table beside her, then, she saw that the open book was just right there.
She was stunned for a moment before she hurriedly closed the book.
Seeing her actions, Hobert asked hesitantly, “Is there something you need here?”
“How is that possible? I’m just interested in this kind of thing. I don’t understand what’s written on it anyway. It’s just for fun.” Audrey smiled.
The few of them did not suspect anything. Klein and Hobart raised their eyebrows at Audrey. “We came to look for you this time mainly because of one thing.”
“What is it?” Audrey asked.
“It’s just that we heard that there’s a relatively good restaurant nearby. It just so happens that after our team was formed, we haven’t had a meal together. We were wondering if we should take this opportunity to go out and have some fun,” Klein said, his tone was filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Audrey frowned. “You actually dare to go out now. Have you forgotten…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Klein interrupted her.
“Stop. Let’s not talk about this now. We can talk about it when we find a safe place.” Klein raised his hand to stop Audrey. “Coincidentally, I have many important things to ask you.”
Audrey agreed. After following them out of the magic faculty, Klein and Hobart looked back at the place with disdain.
“I don’t know why this kind of courtyard still exists. It’s like a dangerous building. What if it accidentally hits a pa.s.sing student?” Klein and Hobart said worriedly.
Audrey smiled. She did not know how to explain it to him. His idea was completely unnecessary.
One had to know that there was teacher Claude guarding this place. With teacher Claude’s magic ability, even if it looked tattered, it would not be a problem for him to use a level-two battle technique to blast it over.
After all, what they were guarding was only on the surface. What they were guarding was actually on the inside.
As they walked on the road, Klein deliberately slowed down his footsteps to maintain the same speed as Audrey.
“Audrey, I’m still very curious. How did you walk in the alley back then?” Klein’s voice became much softer, “And that person seems to have been taken away by you. I think the girl with the whip is so angry that she’s about to hit someone.”
Audrey averted her gaze. She was too embarra.s.sed to tell the other party that she had been taken away like a chick.
“In any case, a kind person helped us and saved us from that place.” Audrey looked up at Klein. “I’m really sorry. I forgot about you.”
Klein waved his hand nonchalantly. “What’s the big deal? It’s mainly because you left too suddenly. I thought something had happened to you. I wanted to fight them to the death, but I didn’t expect…”
“They ran away before they had time to fight,” Klein said helplessly.
Ran away? Audrey did not expect such a situation to happen. After all, they were all very arrogant existences. How could they run away like that?
Klein shook his head and said, “I don’t know what’s going on either, but something seems to have happened to that man. I heard that his breathing was very rapid. It’s obvious that he’s not feeling well.”
