Chapter 179 The Hidden Conspiracy

Seridwin fell silent upon hearing the old man's words, knowing that he was right; at least for now, the old man wouldn't lay a hand on the boy.

After all, that kid still had something the other party needed.

Just as Lady Moon was pondering these thoughts, Latour, standing before her, seemed to have read her mind, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Alright, since you think so too, let's continue discussing what I want. What do you think, Lady Moon?"

Upon hearing this, Selene, who had been looking down and pondering what to do next, immediately raised her head.

Those bright eyes were fixed on the old man in front of him, as if trying to see what he was thinking.

Unfortunately, although the other person had only lived for a fraction of her time, their aged mind possessed an indescribable depth and wisdom. When he stared into those eyes, he felt as if he had been stripped naked and stood still.

This feeling made her extremely uncomfortable, and she felt an urgent urge to leave the room.

However, looking at the old man in front of her, she had no choice but to suppress this impulse.

"Mr. Latour, I don't understand, what do you need Ron's life essence for?"

The old man's sharp eyes swept over her, and a mountain of pressure weighed on Seridwin's heart. Nevertheless, she still managed to ask, wanting to understand what was behind this that she didn't know.

She didn't have to do that at all, since the old man in front of her had never hurt her.

But Seridwin was not content to be a pawn in his opponent's hands. Sometimes people are like that, always eyeing the top and never willing to stop moving forward.

This Ms. Moon is clearly that kind of person.

When she grasped at Ron as her lifeline, she had already made up her mind that all her hopes would be placed on that boy. Since that was the case, there were some things that the little guy didn't know, and she had to find out for him.

The two are currently in a relationship where they share both prosperity and adversity, and it's impossible for me to sit idly by.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Latour was suddenly filled with admiration: it had been a long time since he had seen such an intelligent human from another world.

That's right, he was talking about another world, after all, the wizarding world has never lacked women with great wisdom.

The old man pondered for a moment, feeling that speaking out wouldn't pose any obstacle for him. So he paused for a moment before saying to the Moon Lady in front of him, "It's nothing much, I just want to study his bloodline and see if the essence of it can be passed down through life essence or offspring."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Seridwin's tense expression immediately relaxed.

Actually, she was on tenterhooks the whole time she was speaking. Who wouldn't be afraid of the might of a three-ringed great wizard?

Even though the old man in front of her had largely suppressed his aura, the invisible, subtle sense of deadly danger still made her feel a sense of dread.

This is a reaction stemming from the most primal instincts of life.

After taking a deep breath, the Moon Lady began to ponder the meaning behind the other person's words.

Demanding Ron's life essence in order to study the powerful bloodline within him seems perfectly reasonable, and I can't find any loopholes in it, so it should be true.

With this explanation, she felt much more at ease.

After all, sometimes it's not that she's afraid of the other person not explaining, but that she's afraid of the words that the other person says that will determine her future fate. Even when she was weak, she had indeed experienced such a thing. But having lived for thousands of years, she hadn't felt this kind of fear for a very long time.

She looked at the old man in front of her and finally took out a small glass bottle from her bosom.

The liquid sloshing inside was the very essence of Ron's life that the other party needed. Seridwin respectfully handed over the glass bottle with both hands, saying, "I am very sorry, Lord Latour, I hope you can understand my rudeness just now."

The old man looked at the woman bowing respectfully before him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He took the glass bottle from her hand, then waved it with his other free hand: "It's alright, I don't mind that so-called offense. As long as the task is completed, I'm usually quite tolerant and generous. You'll understand once we get to know each other better. If you don't have any other questions, I think you can go and rest now. You must have been quite worn out by that little guy these past two days. If anything comes up again, I'll let you know in advance."

After listening to the old man's words, Seridwin stared at the glass bottle in the old man's hand one last time, then bowed again and said solemnly, "Thank you very much for your understanding. I'll be going now. If you need anything, just summon me."

After saying this, the Moon Lady left the room without looking back, leaving Latour alone, staring at the glass bottle in his hand that emitted a silvery-white light, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.

Let's go back to two days ago.

Snow, who had just parted ways with Ron at the top of the stairs, watched the boy's departing figure and couldn't help but sigh.

Then he turned around, pushed open the door behind him, and walked straight in.

"Mr. Snow, I hope there haven't been any problems with the tasks the master entrusted to you?"

As soon as the man entered the room, he heard an unfamiliar voice. Who would have thought that this person was the subordinate sent by the lord who had come to see him last night?

The implication in the other party's words was quite clear: the encounter between Mr. Snow and Ron today was not a coincidence, but a carefully designed trap.

They're just waiting for that boy who was taken in as a student by the vice dean to jump in.

Snow did not answer the other person's question. He walked to the power switch in the room and gently pressed the button. In an instant, the entire room went from being pitch black to being as bright as day.

At the same time, a shadowy figure hiding in the dark was revealed under the light.

It was a woman, a woman Ron knew very well.

Snow looked at the woman standing in front of him and finally answered her question: "Don't worry, I've done everything the master asked me to do. There shouldn't be anything else for me to do now, right?"
