YM778.TV Chapter 1056 Dr. Jill Norley
Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Unknown Location
"Anna, save me, a crazy female card apprentice is forcing me to be her slave?" the female card king suddenly read aloud, and then looking at the gale cougar in front of her she said, "Is this your attempt to call for help? Just so you know I am in the card king realm. Your buddies from a third-rate city like sky blossom city will not be able to help you if I really want to take you as my slave."
"..." Like hell, I would consider working as somebody\'s assistant. Since the female card king was being reasonable I thought I could talk my way out of this but hearing her utter phrase like \'head would start rolling\' I did not want to take any more chances.
Yes, it reflects very poorly on me to call Anna for help, but I had to be alive and have my freedom to be judged by people. Unfortunately, the card king had intercepted my text calling for help.
"How the heck are you doing that?" I yelled after morphing into my human form.
Unable to find how the female card king was able to monitor my every move I was frustrated. If the female card king was using her grimoire, Hive AI would have noticed her movements even if it was unable to stop her. Or if she was using an array formation my soul pupils would have noticed the array formation but it was neither of them. Until now I was inclined that she had some kind of card or rune that helped with surveillance but seeing her intercept my text message, I was sure that this wasn\'t it.
With all the answers I could think of being proved wrong, it was natural for me to be frustrated but not something I would lose my cool over but I did so to act the part. Even though I had transformed back into my human form, I was not in my original appearance but borrowing Ji Feng\'s appearance. Even though the card king might have seen my original appearance, I stuck with a new appearance to keep her guessing.
Even if it meant me coming off as a person who was not comfortable with his original appearance or a pervert who loved to disguise others. Either way, I was trying not to be me in front of the female card king because she would not figure me out.
"I don\'t mind answering that but first, Ji Feng from the Yin-yang harmony sect or Dalton Wyatt from Sky blossom city, which one are you?" the female card apprentice enquired me calmly.
"Does it matter?" I was stumped, seeing my how own ways were being used on me. Being on the other side did not feel good. But now I was sure this female card king had an artificial assistant or a version of it in her grimoire like I did, it seemed to be faster and better than super brain, it was given as the super brain card\'s capability was lacking because of its rank. Considering that the female card apprentice was in a card king realm, I am guessing she has a platinum grimoire and the artificial assistant or the version of it must be of mythic grade, so it would definitely be more capable than Super brain card and Hive AI combined.
"Yes, it does," The female card king answered calmly and then saw that the boy\'s vigilance had not decreased since their meeting despite the friendly conversation she engaged in with him, she said, "Let me introduce myself, I am Dr. Jill Norley, an asst. researcher at Morningstar university. You have nothing to worry about, I am not trying to silence a witness as nothing illegal is going on here. I have leased these field dungeons for the next decade with the permission of the southern authorities. So, relax."
"MorningStar university again? What\'s the obsession of the southern region with this university? Just so you know there are other Nine universities in the top ten universities to choose from," I said to change the topic trying not to focus on how Jill claimed everything here to be legal yet she interrupted my text to call for help. Not a smart move on Jill\'s part.
"I guess it has something to do with the fact that all the previous patriarchs and matriarchs of the Southern Royal family have attended the MorningStar university. As for me, I graduated from one of those nine top universities you spoke of. But I joined the MorningStar university because they promised to pay me more," Jill explained and then said, "I have confirmed your identity as Dalton Wyatt, by back tracing the text I intercepted from your grimoire. So you can return to your original appearance or continue if you prefer it this way. Whatever makes you comfortable, no judgment here."
"..." I did not argue with Jill and transformed back to my original appearance.
"Good," Jill nodded seeing me take my original appearance, and said, "By any chance Anna you mentioned in your text have any relationship with the southern emperor?"
"You do know that the southern emperor\'s name is Anna Heatsend," I asked Jill.
"I know, I was just double checking," Jill answered a little flustered. This was the first time I have seen Jill display such an expression in my short conversation with her.
Every day I get to learn how powerful and respected the southern emperor was in the world. Making me wonder what she saw in me. I found some easy crediting it to the fact that she hated herself and just chased after the first guy that did not give a damn. Having lived more than a century she should have learned to love herself but it seems her childhood was too messed and a century was not enough time to resolve those issues. Considering that she was royalty, her childhood must me ten folds more messed up than a regular person\'s childhood.
