Lucian took the ring, listened to Natasha's narration, and said with emotion: "The Grand Duchess is really a genius magician, she won the highest honor in the field of elemental magic at the age of twenty-three, she shouldn't have been a high-level magician at that time, right?" This is a spontaneous respect, but such a genius would actually abandon his magical path for love.
Natasha smiled peacefully, as if she was stuck in memories of her mother: "My mother often said that everyone has their own strengths, and it depends on whether you can find them. After the Kingdom of Holm supported the Magic Council, many descendants within the royal family who could not stimulate the power of the bloodline had other choices, and many children who were ridiculed in knightly training and combat practice later became outstanding magicians. My mother was originally weak and mentally weak, and even with potions she could not stimulate the power of her bloodline, but she was able to leave her own footprints on the path of magic, and she was only a beginner magician when she won the 'Holm Crown' award."
"It's a pity that her body and soul have been corrupted by various strange magical elements all year round, and with the blow of her brother's call from the Lord, she has never been able to get out of the hospital bed after failing to try to advance to a high-ranking magician."
"The Grand Duchess has been studying magic?" Lucian was slightly surprised, but he thought that coming to the church should turn a blind eye to such a special meaningful object.
Natasha wrinkled her nose and smiled: "If my father doesn't let her study magic, she might take my brother and me back to Holm. When she was a child, she was most impressed by her except for her father, who seemed to be unable to get along with others, and the gloomy magic laboratory and all kinds of strange potion smells. As for the church......
"This ring should have a special meaning for you, Natasha...... Lucian looked at the ring.
Natasha also looked down at the ring in Lucian's hand, smiling very freely: "The ring is not important, what matters is my feelings for my mother. Without the ring, I wouldn't miss her and think of her? Lucian, don't twist and turn like a girl, as a token related to magic, it is the most appropriate. But it may also represent certain troubles in itself, if you don't encounter too many problems, it's best not to take it to the 'Elemental Will' organization or the people of the Royal Magic Academy of Holm. After you become a high-ranking magician, it will probably give you a good mentor."
Lucian was told by Natasha, shook his head and put away the ring with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness. Haven't the effects of vampire blood gone away? I carried you back to Alto?"
"It's gone, it's just temporarily suppressing the aftereffects, but there's no problem in returning to Alto, Lucian, you should leave quickly, I'm worried that the church may find it at any time." Natasha waved her slender palm, "Don't worry about your identity, leave it to me."
"Can I continue to use the identity of Lucian Evans in the future?" Lucian's plan was to change his name and surname when he arrived in the Holm Kingdom, so as not to implicate John and the others, and he was inevitably a little surprised when he heard Natasha's words.
Natasha laughed at Lucian fiercely: "Do you think that the common name Lucian Evans is special? There are plenty of seats in Aalto. As long as you don't take the initiative to mention that you are a famous musician in Holm, who will think of you? As for the identity of musician Lucian Evans, it is actually a good cover-up, maybe it will come in handy when you return to Storm Strait in the future. As for how to make 'him' last long, as long as you send me some newly created music occasionally, I will take care of it."
"I will probably concentrate on magic study and research in the future, and music should be very rare." Lucian knew that a well-known identity on the surface would be of great use in the future, but he was still a little hesitant.
"It's good to keep one work for a few years, I believe in your musical talent. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it." Natasha said forget it, but her eyes were unusually bright.
Lucian replied vaguely: "I will do my best." I plan to use music in my spare time to adjust the fatigue caused by learning magic, and I can probably slowly turn to originality.
After agreeing on how to send the letter to Natasha, Lucian put away the "Fireweaver's Bracelet", Aaron's second-level medium extraordinary weapon "Debilitating Dagger", Cold Iron Dagger, etc., and took the injured "Vigilant" longsword to say goodbye to Natasha: "I hope to see you again in the future, Your Highness the Princess."
The heavy three-headed flail was not only difficult for Lucian to use, but also inconvenient to carry, so he left it to Natasha.
Natasha didn't have much parting emotion, she just smiled and said, "Just call me Natasha. I will help you take good care of your friends."
"Thank you, Natasha." Lucian sincerely thanked him.
Turning around, just two steps away, Lucian heard Natasha's voice coming from behind: "Lucian......"
"What?" Lucian looked back at her strangely.
Natasha smiled softly: "Remember, life should not only be about magic, but also about music, friends and laughter."
"I will remember." Lucian smiled and nodded in response.
…………
Seeing Lucian's back turn into a faint light and disappear into the Black Forest, Natasha smiled and said seriously: "Come out, you've been listening for a long time."
"Your Highness, Your intuition is really sharp." In the dark mid-air, a transparent figure appeared without warning and slowly became clear, it was Salvador, the "Canonist" in a white bishop's robe, with a white handkerchief tied to his black gloves and wrists. Fortunately, I rushed over in time, otherwise how could I know from your conversation that the 'professor' was just an ordinary magician." Hmph, how dare an ordinary magician play and laugh at us night watchmen like this! Not only did he make me lose all the team members, but he also became the 359th target of the purification sequence, which is really embarrassing."
His anger was palpable.
Natasha looked at him indifferently: "You didn't do it just now. It seems that anger has not destroyed your reason, maybe you have something else to say?"
Salvador, who was floating in mid-air, looked condescendingly at the direction Lucian was leaving: "I can see that Your Highness, Your Highness, you attach great importance to 'Mr. Professor', so I want a deal to help you hide the fact that the genius musician Lucian is the evil magician 'Professor'."
His anger disappeared without a trace, his whole body was shrouded in scorching holy light, although Natasha did not wear blood dragon armor, there was no way to fight in mid-air, and she had the advantage as a flyer, but it was always good to be careful, what if Natasha suddenly threw out the Thunder Sword?
"Your team members are really unfortunate." Natasha briefly commented.
Salvador laughed softly: "My belief in helping them avenge is very firm, but revenge can be postponed, and the opportunity to cooperate with Your Royal Highness the Princess, who is valued by the Pope, is difficult to recover if you miss it. This is the best way to realize the ideal world that I have worked so hard to pursue, and the reason why I gave up my identity as an upright bishop to become a night watchman walking in the dark is because ......"
"I don't want to hear about your painful past." Natasha stopped Salvador's tirade.
Salvador smiled without mind: "Her Royal Highness is really direct and decisive, the deal I want is ...... You?!"
Before he finished speaking, he was shocked to see Natasha flying in front of him, and the "Thunder Long Sword" slashed fiercely from bottom to top.
A nihilistic and terrifying crack appeared above the scorching holy light, cutting it in half directly along with El Salvador.
Natasha stood in the air, her beautiful silver-purple eyes staring coldly at Salvador in disbelief: "I never accept threats."
In a trance, Salvador saw his soul of faith split and shattered, and finally the remaining consciousness turned into an ethereal voice: "Sky Knight?"
Natasha quietly watched Salvador disappear into a little light, showing a sincere smile: "Aunt Camille is safe. But if I had known that they would come so soon, Lucian and I wouldn't have to work so hard, just run away and deal with it for a while."
After waiting for about ten minutes, Camille in a long black dress flew over from the other side of the Black Forest, holding the unconscious Winen and Akasha, her dull seriousness became gentle and kind: "If you can use this danger to straighten out your bloodline and fuse your will, Natasha, you are worthy of being a genius knight."
"This is thanks to the teachings of the teacher and Aunt Camille." Natasha originally wanted to respond with a smile, but Camille's words brought back memories from before, and her expression became a little sentimental.
The two arrived at Aalto as the sun rose, and after Natasha comforted His worried and angry Grand Duke, she went straight to the Golden Cathedral.
In a confessional room, Natasha found Sald, who was praying quietly.
"Your Excellency, Cardinal Salder, I want to be honest with the Lord." Natasha is indeed a devout believer.
Sald opened his increasingly cloudy eyes: "What's the matter?"
Natasha drew a cross on her chest: "I killed the Lord's guard in darkness, Mr. Salvador."
"Are you using honesty, not repentance?" Even when Sald heard that a level five Night's Watch captain had been killed, he didn't have any mood swings.
Natasha nodded solemnly: "Yes, I don't regret it. But I know this is a serious mistake, my knight's creed does not allow me to hide it, and I am willing to accept punishment."
"Why did you kill him?" Sald continued to ask.
Natasha was silent and did not answer.
Salde stood up, he seemed to be more than ten years older than yesterday: "I will report to His Majesty the Pope, and he will punish you, Natasha, you wait patiently for an hour."
When Sald left, Natasha's hands and face were bulging with hot red blood vessels, making her beautiful face distorted and ferocious, giving people an extremely painful feeling, but Natasha gritted her teeth and kept kneeling in front of the cross without snorting in pain.
…………
In the simple and bright study, a white-haired and kind old man wearing an ordinary priest's robe whispered to the cardinal in front of him: "The Lord will forgive everyone who repents, Natasha can confess her mistakes, and she will be promoted to the rank of Heavenly Knight, so there is no need to be punished too harshly, let her go to the bottom of the Aalto Monastery to train as an ascetic for three years."
"Obey the order, Your Majesty the Pope." The cardinal slowly exited the room.
The kind old man picked up a stack of manuscripts that he had put down earlier, which recorded some inexplicable things:
"The target person doesn't seem to reject my speech." ...... "He often has times when he is emotionally confused......"......
"Maybe he's a little shaken." ……
…………
Lucian followed the method Natasha taught him to prevent tracking, and ran back in the Black Forest towards the town of Masava, but the distance between the two places was so far away that he did not return to the town until after nine o'clock in the sun. However, Lucian did not enter the hotel room directly, but burned the black robe in the hidden place, and walked towards the main entrance of the hotel wearing a black shirt with a wide open neckline.
In a panicked hotel lobby, Lucian did not find Joyce and other mercenaries and coachmen, so he asked the hotel owner: "I want to know where my mercenary Joyce and the others went? I just went out for a walk in the early morning and couldn't find them when I came back?"
Last night, the boss personally opened the door for Lucian, and naturally recognized him, and replied a little awkwardly and amusedly: "Many adventurers flocked into the town in the morning, spreading the frightened emotions to everyone, causing chaos in the town. Joyce and the others did not find you as a distinguished guest in the room, and they all agreed that you were kidnapped by a lowly and treacherous adventurer, so they all fled for fear of taking responsibility."
Lucian held back his smile: "It's really bad news, I have to re-hire mercenaries and carriages. But this was my negligence, I forgot to tell them, please inform the adventurer's guild, just say that I terminated the contract in advance, so that they will not become fugitives."
"You are such a kind gentleman." The boss praised with a pen and paper.
Leaving his signature and seal on the written document, Lucian went back to his room to change his clothes and prepare to start his own trip.
