Miss Witch's Devotion Has Gone… Twisted-Chapter 261: Night Amulet

"Master Mentor, are you writing another song for Cecelia again?"

One afternoon, Loren was sitting at his desk writing something when Anna suddenly climbed into his arms and sat on his lap.

"Yes, I've had some inspiration lately."

Loren had gotten the inspiration after listening to Lilith's story, but he just hadn't had much time to write the song.

"By the way, what does Cecelia actually look like? I'm really curious.

"You have her address, don't you? Let's go see her."

Anna made the suggestion. Loren was the only person in the world who had her address, as Cecelia was very protective of her privacy.

To be honest, Loren was quite curious about Cecelia too. They had collaborated for so long, and Cecelia knew what Loren looked like, but Loren didn't know her appearance.

However, now wasn't the right time. Loren's thought was to wait until all this vampire nonsense was resolved first.

Additionally, he was personally very interested in Aisaco's plan. In a sense, they were similar types of people—when their own strength was insufficient to achieve a certain goal, they would resort to various complex schemes to solve everything.

Moreover, his personality was also very similar to Loren's. Unlike Noah, who brought trouble upon himself, Aisaco genuinely hadn't done anything wrong. He had happily married the one he loved, only to be suddenly attacked by vampires.

At that time, he truly had no power at all. He could only watch helplessly as everything happened, as the person he loved was killed. He was not at fault in any way.

His subsequent actions were also very manly. He endured for hundreds of years, step by step climbing to his current position, laying out his plans bit by bit, all just to eliminate all vampires.

Putting himself in Aisaco's shoes, if Loren had experienced what Aisaco went through, he would also choose to kill all vampires. In fact, Loren's methods would be even harsher, even more insane.

The craziest thing Aisaco did was drag all of Uridia into the mess, whereas Loren would drag all of humanity into it.

Thinking this, Loren suddenly hugged Anna. He didn't dare imagine what he would become if they left him, and he wouldn't let such a thing happen.

Since Loren was here, he wouldn't let any tragedy occur around him. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Although Anna didn't know what Loren had suddenly thought of, she silently hugged him back.

"I want a hug too!"

Seeing Loren and Anna embracing, Scarlett, not wanting to be outdone, hugged Loren from behind. Mirrorheart instantly followed suit, also hugging him. The others, not wanting to be left out, surrounded Loren in a tight circle.

Naclis was somewhat reserved at first, but ultimately hugged him as well. Only Luna remained standing in place.

Luna pondered the relationships the others had with Loren: family, master and servant, owner and pet... Only her relationship with Loren was the most distant, just an ordinary student.

She desperately wanted to get closer, but just as she took a step forward, she heard Loren's voice:

"There are too many people, I can't breathe... break it up..."

In the end, Luna still didn't manage to blend in with them.

"Young lady, you seem troubled..."

After letting go of Loren, Mirrorheart suddenly sidled up to Luna. She straightened her maid uniform and spoke up.

Crash Course Gold Medal Lecturer · Mirrorheart, online.

"I..."

Seeing that Mirrorheart seemed to have discerned her inner thoughts, Luna felt somewhat flustered but also excited. She was just about to say something when Mirrorheart suddenly shook her head:

"I just remembered, you're seventeen this year. Come listen to my class after you're an adult. For now, you can find Anna; she's the basic course lecturer. Learn some fundamentals first."

"..."

With Mirrorheart's interruption, the bit of courage Luna had mustered vanished once again.

"Master, someone from the Church is here."

Just as everyone released Loren, Loren heard Movila's words. He hadn't noticed what was happening with Luna over there.

"Okay."

Loren put down the pen in his hand, leaving the lyrics he had written casually on the table.

The content he wanted to express was enough to get him beheaded, but Loren had written it cryptically enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare give it to Cecelia.

...

"Master Mentor? What are you doing standing at the door?"

The Bishop who had rushed over saw Loren blocking the doorway as soon as he opened the door. Without further ado, Loren simply extended his hand:

"Less talk. Give me the thing, then you can leave."

"..."

The words the Bishop wanted to say were forcibly stifled in his chest, leaving him feeling suffocated.

But upon careful thought, this might not be a bad thing. Originally, he had planned to have Loren emphasize to the vampires what the Church had done, but if he really said that, he would inevitably be ridiculed by Loren.

"This is the Night Amulet and the magic we promised you. I'll take my leave now."

After handing the items in his hand to Loren, the Bishop turned and left. Every second spent with Loren made his blood pressure soar.

"Goodbye."

Loren slammed the door shut heavily, not giving him any face.

"Luna, come with me to the small room for a moment."

After closing the door, Loren called for Luna to join him in the little black room, which drew a sarcastic remark from Anna.

"But Luna is still underage..."

"Shut up!"

Loren rapped Anna on the head. The stinging pain made Anna press her lips together:

"Oh."

Luna didn't quite understand the exchange between Loren and Anna. She simply agreed and followed Loren into the small room.

The next moment, Anna pressed her ear against the door.

"What are you doing?"

Naclis didn't understand Anna's behavior but imitated her by pressing her ear against the door too.

"Nothing. Master Mentor used a Shielding Spell; we won't be able to eavesdrop on anything."

...

Loren drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness. Loren's eyesight was excellent; even in such conditions, he accurately found the switch and pressed it. Pink light enveloped the room.

"This lighting is weird..."

Loren muttered. The lighting also conveniently masked the blush on Luna's cheeks. She also felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.

"This is for you."

Loren didn't overthink it and directly placed the Night Amulet into Luna's hand.

"What is this?"

The amulet was dark purple throughout, inlaid with a deep blue gemstone. Dark purple ribbons surrounded the gem. Even someone with no eye for valuables could tell this item was precious.

"This is the Night Amulet. When the wearer is illuminated by moonlight, all attributes are enhanced. Try transforming."

"Okay."

Luna obediently nodded. The next moment, her body was enveloped in moonlight. When the moonlight faded, the knight's dress and mask appeared on Luna.

She raised her sword. Moonlight gleamed from the tip of the blade. At that moment, Luna also felt her power increasing. The sensation was very clear.

"Does the moonlight you emit yourself work?"

"Yes."

"Then this is for you. You're the most suitable for it."

The Night Amulet's effect was indeed powerful, but unfortunately, it wasn't very versatile. Only Luna wearing it could maximize its effect.

"But... this..."

Luna knew this was something Loren obtained through a deal with the Church of Night and Thunder. It was very precious. She was just about to return the Night Amulet to Loren when Loren grabbed her hand, closed her fingers, and made her grip the amulet in her palm.

"We don't need to be so clear-cut between us. We're family too."

Under the pink light, Luna looked at Loren's smile, and her heart stirred with waves of emotion.
