My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 13 Each with their own thoughts

What, what's going on?

Vichy had a bad feeling. She grabbed her bag, jumped out of the car, and ran away as fast as she could.

About ten minutes later, she finally arrived at Redstone Town.

This is a mining town, with pale red dust filling the air and signs of desolation everywhere. The permanent population is small and doesn't change much from year to year.

Vichy didn't stop for more than a few steps, and ran quickly along the path he remembered.

Before long, a dilapidated wooden house appeared before her eyes.

What made Vichy even more uneasy was that there were many hoofprints of Pegasus in front of the wooden house.

No, that won't happen.

Pushing open the door, several knights dressed in white robes suddenly turned to look at Vichy. After sizing him up, they asked a question.

"Who are you?"

Where is Sister Pavitt?

The two groups simultaneously raised their questions, and the scene suddenly became bizarre.

The two knights exchanged a glance, their right hands subtly resting on their sword hilts.

"Imperial Tier 2 Knights, serial numbers 2341 and 2353, civilians. State your identity immediately, or we will consider you a threat."

Vishi frowned, but before he could speak, an old voice came from deep within the wooden house.

"Knights, her name is Vichy. She is a helper at my orphanage and one of my few good children."

The group turned around, and an old man walked out of the wooden house.

She had white hair and wore a black and white priest's robe. Judging from the stitching and style, this old woman was a priestess of Lilith, which was quite rare in this day and age.

But Lilith is ultimately an ancient demigod, and her priests are recognized by imperial law.

The two knights immediately bowed to show that they had no intention of offending the Lady of Blood.

"Sister Pavitt! Are you alright?"

Vichy immediately stepped forward and grasped Sister Pavit's hands, finally feeling relieved.

"What could possibly be wrong with me? I already told you you don't need to come back every month; the travel expenses are too high."

"Huh, you even keep a raven as a magical pet?"

Pavit's cloudy eyes were fixed on the raven on Vichy's shoulder; she always felt that the raven possessed an inexplicable spirituality.

I am examining it, and it is examining itself.

"Uh, haha, it's fate, it's fate."

Vichy laughed it off and immediately changed the subject.

Since Sister Pavitt encountered no trouble, her hostility towards the two knights of the law dissipated.

"Sister Pavitt is quite old. Please tell me what's wrong. I used to come from here too."

The two knights nodded in agreement. It was clear that the orphanage director was indeed quite old, and it would be more concise to ask a younger person for a more thorough questioning.

"Yes, that's right. We're looking for a Class B wanted criminal. The fortune teller said he came to this town yesterday."

Given the other party's vampire identity, we plan to conduct some research and investigation among the vampires here.

"Is it the Blood Demon?"

"How did you know?" The two knights frowned and stared directly at Vishi.

"Hegeus told me."

"Captain? Oh! You're that Bloodthirsty Gladiator, the one who eats monsters raw?"

The knights' faces lit up; clearly, Hegesius had greeted them all.

Vishi's face darkened upon hearing this. How could his reputation be getting weirder and weirder? He was a mage!

"Perfect timing, ma'am, could you please assist with the investigation to see if there is any divine bloodline resonance in this area?"

Upon hearing this, Vichy silently exclaimed in his heart, "Teacher?"

A few seconds later, Shi Qing's voice drifted over.

"......No."

Vishi immediately replied, "Uh, I didn't sense the presence of the Blood Demon."

"Oh, I see. Looks like they ran away."

"Then we'll head back now, sorry to have bothered you."

The knights felt a pang of regret, knowing that the Blood Demon's whereabouts were always elusive, and opportunities to catch him red-handed were few and far between.

They had been searching Redstone Town for half a day without finding anything.

In addition, this place is somewhat sensitive, so it's not suitable for these outsiders to stay for long.

Soon, the Pegasus took off and scattered in all directions.

However, no sooner had the knights left than Vichy was shoved on the head by Sister Pavit.

"Vichy!"

"You'd better explain to me why you went to the arena?"

And what about this so-called divine bloodline they're talking about?

Contrary to her appearance, Sister Pavitt was actually very physically robust and possessed astonishing strength.

Even now, when Vixi tries to run away, she holds him back tightly.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Vishi's eyes darted around, and he hurriedly said, "It's the blessing of the Blood Ancestor! I've received the blessing of a Blood Ancestor!"

"Blood Ancestor? Blessing?"

Sister Pavit scrutinized Vichy, knowing her many little habits intimately as her guardian for years.

For example, when lying, one's eyes will wander.

Vichy, too, felt that his lie would not fool Sister Pavit.

After all, didn't she know what kind of inferior bloodline she came from?

"Oh no! We're going to be exposed, teacher!"

However, Shi Qing did not respond at all, but just looked at the old nun with great interest, seemingly lost in thought.

In the end, Sister Pavitt simply sighed softly, as if resigning herself to her fate.

She paced back and forth, seemingly weighing something.

"Hey, you're really lucky to have the Blood Lady's protection."

"That's fine, that's fine too."

"nun?"

"No, it's nothing. Go see the little ones; they've been waiting for you for a long time."

"oh oh."

Just as Vichy was about to take out the food and small gifts he had prepared in advance from his backpack, he heard the nun behind him suddenly shout.

"Vichy, don't get involved in the law knights' investigation. Just focus on learning magic and find a good job."

"what?"

Vichy was immediately puzzled; why was the nun suddenly bringing this up again?

But before she could speak, the nun had already walked back into the depths of the cabin.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Suddenly, Shi Qing broke the silence, his words suggesting he had already understood many things.

"teacher?"

"Don't worry about it, go do your thing, I have some things to do."

After saying that, Shi Qing spread its wings, accelerated, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only Wei Xi muttering to herself.

"What's wrong with everyone? Why is everyone acting so strangely, like they're all solving riddles?"

.......

At the same time, Shi Qing hovered in mid-air, casually casting several talismans on himself to conceal his figure.

He looked down at Redstone Town from his high vantage point, and his divine sense suddenly spread out, covering the entire town in the blink of an eye.

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes and sped off in one direction.

It was a cemetery, but unlike a normal cemetery, a clear spring flowed through it, and a tombstone stood in front of it.

Shi Qing raised his hand and blew away the dust, revealing the words underneath.

"In the harvest month of the 1443rd year of the Celestial Calendar, the Blood Saint Princess rests here."
