HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

With Marcus McFastie's death, the transformation and invasion of bat blood toxin in Silver Teach's body stopped, but the toxin did not disappear; instead, it fell into a state of dormancy and slumber.

As Marcus vanished into thin air, the Blood Corpse Dragons all disintegrated, turning back into dragon skeletons that fell into the sea of ​​blood.

The sea of ​​blood on the island lost its vitality, allowing Xia Ke's fierce fire to burn fully in an instant, with no resistance.

Teach, the Dragon Witch, and the others watched from the air as the fiery flames gradually burned away the sea of ​​blood before finally landing on the ground.

Upon landing, the silver-haired Teach completely fainted: [This battle was truly exhausting.]

If you calculate it carefully, Teach Carr probably used up nearly 5 years of his lifespan, his hair turned one-tenth whiter, and he became two-tenths paler.

The moment the silver-haired Teach collapsed, Xia Ke gently pulled Teach into her arms, using her body as a pillow.

At this moment, Andri and the others also came over, looking at the unconscious silver-haired Teach with gratitude and appreciation.

It was at this moment that Teach's 'Reversal Alchemy Formation' slowly dispelled the gender transformation, and her long, silver-white hair returned to its original color, a reddish-brown.

Those full, rounded breasts became flat and firm.

That alluring and stunning face became more defined, and her features returned to their handsome appearance.

As Andre watched the silver-haired Teach transform back into a man, he thought to himself, "So, this is your true form."

Anbilan looked at the handsome male nobleman, Teach Karl, raised an eyebrow, and widened her eyes.

At this moment, her gaze fell on Teach's firm chest, and the envy and jealousy she felt for Teach's perfect figure instantly vanished. But as she looked, she unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth, showing great interest.

Looking at Teach Karl sleeping soundly in Xia Ke's arms, and seeing the weariness and inexplicable vicissitudes on his face, Qi Luoluo felt a pang of pain in her heart: [Miss Teach... no~ Mr. Teach, from now on, you will be my hero.]

A hero that no one can surpass or replace.

Yeva stared with curious eyes at Teach Carl, who had transformed into a man, from head to toe. Driven by curiosity, he reached out and tried to pull down Teach's pants to see if there was anything like his inside.

But before his hand could even touch it, the perceptive Xia Ke discovered his purpose and shot Yeva away with a fiery dragon breath, causing him to howl in pain amidst the flames.

Amidst the commotion caused by Silver-Haired Teach reverting to Teach Carl, after a brief respite, Shake instructed the group, "Andrei, please go and repair the shielding spell covering the island. The McFastie family has been destroyed, so this island now belongs to us."

"Property belonging to our Carl family, belonging to our master—Mr. Teach Carl."

Andri obeyed the command, and after his body was enveloped in natural magic, he flew into the sky.

"Miss Xi Bilan and Miss Qi Luoluo, I would like to trouble you sisters to go to each castle and collect all the data and records related to the human-dragon experiment. Not a single thing related to the experiment can be missed."

"Yeva, take the four dragon bodies and patrol the entire island. Carefully check if there is any Marcus blood left. If so, burn and evaporate it with dragon breath. Also, check the situation on the island to see if there are any survivors of the captive black dragons."

When Yeva heard that there were so many things to do in the order, a hint of complaint instantly appeared in his dead fish eyes, and he couldn't help but weakly say, "...We all have things to do, what about you?"

This question immediately earned Xia Ke a murderous glare at Yeva, who snapped, "Can't you see I'm helping my master rest? Get back to your business!"

Reprimanded, Yeva obediently led his dragon away.

When the place was empty, Xia Ke reached out and gently stroked Titch's long, brownish-red hair, touching the white hairs that were two-tenths whiter.

These white hairs might not mean to Andrei and the others, but Xia Ke knew very well what they represented.

Teach Carr is 20 years old this year. Considering the average human lifespan of 70-80, Teach has several five-year periods that he can spend on others.

On Islay, when Shakko and Teach Carl first met face-to-face, she noticed the few white hairs in Teach's hair.

But now... those few gray hairs have grown to thousands, which shows how much Teach Carr has been drained by the McFastie incident.

Looking at the white hair, Xia Ke's nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face: "You could have just ignored us, you could have turned a blind eye to our pleas for help, to our suffering and our imprisoned fate, but you..."

At this point, Xia Ke's heart-wrenching sorrow instantly transformed into a chilling, murderous intent: "[Andri, Yeva, Xibilan, Qiluoluo, the four of you and your four dragons]"

My master has sacrificed so much for you. If you dare to betray my master, I will never let you get away with it, absolutely!

I swear, I swear on my soul.

The fact that Shake succeeded in the 'Human-Dragon Transformation Training Array' demonstrates her loyalty to Teach Carl; otherwise, if she had even the slightest bit of resistance, she would not have become a perfect human-dragon.

So perhaps it was precisely because he sensed Shak's loyalty to Teach that Andri, this veteran dragon, obeyed the orders given to him by Shak.

Perhaps that's not all; Shake also has another identity: Teach Carl's wife.

Although it was illegal and just a charade, the wedding did indeed take place.

Therefore, given this, as members of the Karl family, the three of them, including Sibilan, would obey Xia Ke's orders unless the requests or commands were excessive.

Xia Ke's unstoppable tears fell onto Teach's face, and Teach seemed to sense something in his unconscious state.

With his eyes closed, Teach reached out as if in a daze and stroked Xia Ke's face, whispering softly, "I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing this for myself."

"You have given me everything, so naturally I will give back to you."

So, wipe away your tears~.

After Teach finished speaking, he lowered his hand, his steady breathing in his sleep as if his words had never been spoken.

But Xia Ke didn't care whether Teach was sleepwalking or talking in his sleep; she only knew the word "pretending to be strong." What Teach said to her was exactly that—pretending to be strong. His act of strength made him seem like a heartless and self-serving person.

So Xia Ke wiped away her tears and smiled through her tears.

Looking at Teach Carl sleeping soundly in her arms, she twirled a few strands of his long, brownish-red hair mixed with white hair between her fingers, and smiled beautifully and sweetly.
