Walking on the academy's cobblestone path, Ron's mood had returned to calm. Recalling everything that had happened in Fiona's room, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on the boy's lips.

He hadn't expected his senior to have such an interesting side.

After leaving the South District, Ron hurried along, heading towards the outside of the academy.

Although he knew that what happened yesterday might lead to something unexpected if he went out again today, he was perfectly aware that since the teacher from Zhejiang had spoken yesterday, the person behind the scenes would definitely have considered the impact of this incident and would not continue to target him for at least a short period of time.

Otherwise, that would be breaking the rules.

Those who break the rules in this world will inevitably come to a bad end.

With these thoughts in mind, they soon arrived at a mansion outside the academy. The towering buildings in the distance proved that the family was prosperous, and the magnificent gate represented the extraordinary status of the people living here. Outside the gate stood two tall faceless lion heads, their smooth faces blank except for a closed mouth.

Just as Ron reached them, one of the two stone statues spoke:

"Confused young apprentice, what brings you to our esteemed Morderson family? We cannot allow you in without the invitation of the great Lord Felix."

As Ron listened to the other person's strange tone and eerie manner, a series of question marks appeared on his forehead.

He hadn't expected the decorations outside the Morderson family's house, where Adele lived, to be so unique. It was one thing for the stone lions to speak, but what they said was rather awkward.

However, out of respect for personal customs, Ron explained his purpose to the other party:

"Your Excellency Stone Lion, I have come to your noble family to find Miss Adele, Mr. Felix's granddaughter, Adele Mordson. There are some things I need to discuss with her, so please inform her."

Although it's a bit strange to talk to a stone statue, well, in the wizarding world, what isn't strange?

Ron felt quite at ease. After all, he had experienced so much and was used to these strange things. Compared to those bizarre mutated creatures or mentally unstable classmates, talking to stones seemed normal and nothing to be ashamed of.

Just as Ron uttered those words, the two stone lions in front of him seemed not to have reacted, falling into an eerie silence. Finally, it was the stone lion that hadn't spoken before that spoke:

"You naive little apprentice, are you saying that your purpose in coming to the Morderson family today is to find the brightest gem of the Morderson family, Miss Adele?"

Although Ron found the mention of the brightest gem somewhat amusing, he figured it wasn't a big deal since it was a stone lion and its strange speech was hardly surprising. He ultimately accepted the lion's words.

"That's right, Mr. Stone Lion, I am indeed here to find the brightest gem in Mordson, Miss Adele."

After saying that, he kept repeating the phrase "the brightest gem of Moderson" in his mind, thinking that he would definitely tease the girl with this nickname when they met later.

Just as he was thinking about these things, the two stone lions in front of him suddenly turned their huge heads. Although they had no eyes on their faces, Ron could feel that the two of them looked at each other.

Then the two stone lions in front of me turned their large heads around. The one with only a mouth had no expression on its face, but it seemed as if two gazes were fixed on me.

"Oh, Miss Adele's charm is truly too great! This naive boy has already followed her home. I wonder what Lord Felix's reaction will be when he finds out?"

"I bet the adults will turn this silly boy in front of them into a tree and make him stand outside the great Magdson family as punishment. They won't let him leave until he's been there for ten days."

"I think so too. What a naive boy. Does he think he can come here just because he likes Miss Adele? If it weren't for the fact that he's an apprentice at the Tower of the Red Moon, Lord Felix would probably have kept him in a jar so he would never see the moon outside for the rest of his life."

As Ron listened to the mocking laughter of the two stone lions in front of him, a series of black lines appeared on his forehead.

He never expected that when he came to see Adele today, he would be mocked by two strange guys. Couldn't these two guys see the genius aura in him?

Oh, right, I forgot, they don't have eyes.

With that thought in mind, Ron decided not to argue with the two stone lions in front of him any further. After all, what could they possibly have as gatekeepers and mascots?

Moreover, his appearance was indeed too young. Although he had the strength of a mid-level wizard apprentice, there were plenty of apprentices like him in the Red Moon Tower.

There's never a shortage of geniuses, is there?

Just as the two strange stones were mocking the boy, a familiar voice reached Ron's ears. He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a girl in a long green dress standing in the doorway, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked in his direction.

"Ron, you're back?"

Stone's laughter abruptly stopped upon hearing the girl's voice. His large head immediately rotated 180 degrees, as if startled, and he looked towards where the girl was standing.

"Oh, it's the beautiful Miss Adele. Is there something you need today? Lord Felix didn't tell us that you need his permission to go out. After all, you're still under house arrest. If we brothers let you out, we'll be punished by him."

As Ron listened to the two stone lions' words, a knowing glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the girl.

It seems that during the two months I was gone, this little girl had been "blamed" by Mr. Felix because of me?

The girl glanced disapprovingly at the two stone lions staring at her, her tone a mixture of annoyance and helplessness:

"Alright, alright, Eric, Borg, you two don't need to stop me here. My grandfather has already announced the lifting of my confinement today, so I can come and go as I please. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask him."
