——I wish all the children in the college entrance examination all the best, and it is most important to keep a normal mind.

Also, please ask for a monthly pass, you will fall out of the top 30.

Cherie replied with a little confusion: "Jacques, I don't understand why my father sent me to the Kingdom of Holm, but I think he must be thinking about it, and there should be something suitable for me to study at the nun school there. You know, I have no knightly talent, and I was secretly evaluated by the knight teacher as never able to stimulate the power of the bloodline unless I rely on potions, and I have no ability to do business.

"I can't learn anything except reading books, whether it's music, opera, oil painting, or sculpture, so I can actually get your love from Jacques, you are so handsome, so versatile, good at piano, painting, singing, swordsmanship...... It's like the dazzling sun." Cherie seemed to be stroking Jacques' face.

The sound of a kiss sounded, as if Jacques grabbed Cherie's hand and kissed her, and he said fascinatingly: "That time I followed Lord Gaspar to the Viscount's villa, and when I saw you reading quietly on the terrace, I fell deeply in love with you. You don't need to do anything, just marry me and enjoy life well."

"But, Jacques, you...... You are not a real knight yet." Cherie replied sadly that nobles must marry nobles, "And I always believe that as a complete life, as a lucky person favored by the Lord, whether it is a man or a woman, you must have the ability to live without relying on others, and have a place to reflect the value of your life, so I have to work hard to find what I am good at.

Jacques said with some frustration: "Cherie, I understand your choice, but what new things can be learned from the nun school in the Kingdom of Holm? And I also know and understand very well that only by stimulating the power of the bloodline and becoming a noble knight can I truly own you. I am never afraid of this, I am never worried, I will work hard, I will fight, but I am afraid that when I stimulate the power of the bloodline, you will already marry someone else. Wait, Cherie, the Viscount asked you to study in the Kingdom of Holm, are you looking for an opportunity to marry the nobles over there?!"

This had a certain effect on Viscount Wright's consolidation in the Kingdom of Holm, or for the church to win over the conservative nobles of the opposite country, so when Jacques thought about it, he felt more and more that this was the case, and his voice sounded full of pain and despair to Lucian: "Is it true, Cherie? Are you going to marry someone else?"

"I don't know, I really don't know...... Father, he never said ......," Cherie muttered in confusion, like a dream in the ups and downs of the sailboat, without the slightest confidence.

Jacques punched the wooden box hard, almost causing a row of wooden boxes to retreat and hit Lucian's face, he said with a little hope in despair: "Cherie, can you wait for me? I know that the Viscount and the lady have always doted on you, and you love them very much, and you will not do anything that will completely disappoint them, but can you wait for me for three years?" If I haven't been able to stimulate the power of my bloodline for three years, then I am not worthy of it and can only love you secretly."

Cherie was moved by Jacques' confession and seemed to be nodding vigorously: "I will, within three years, I will wait for you. And in three years, as long as you don't dislike it, I am willing to be your forever lover."

Jacques hugged Cherie: "Cheri, why are you Cherie......"

Annick, who was listening with relish, suddenly found that his ears were covered by a pair of hands, so he turned his head to look at Mr. Evans strangely, were they talking about something secret that he shouldn't have heard?

After a dialogue that lingered so much that Lucian wanted to vomit, Cherie leaned on Jacques' shoulder: "Jacques, find a chance to play "Dedicated to Sylvia" for me, okay? Now it's time for us to go up, such a big storm, my father is probably not worried about me, and he will come over to take a look."

Lucian thought slightly embarrassedly: "Sylvia has been killed by Natasha, will playing this piano piece smell a bit like a curse......" Of course, there are no more than twenty people who know about Sylvia.

"Okay, as long as you want, I'm always willing." Jacques replied gently, and then the two of them sneaked back to the upper cabin.

Lucian waited for a while before letting go of the hand covering Annick's ear: "Let's go back to the cabin, the storm and waves are so big, maybe someone will come down to check if the goods are damaged."

"Yes, Mr. Evans." Annick first replied respectfully, and then asked curiously: "Why did you cover my ears just now?"

"I'm afraid that their love words will destroy your immature heart." Lucian replied with a "serious face", "Even I almost couldn't resist, as if I had been struck by lightning."

Annick thought for a while: "But the love words I heard earlier are far worse than the dialogue in the opera."

"That's why I hate opera......" Lucian said expressionlessly.

…………

Back in the cabin, Lucian did not lie down in a hammock to rest or meditate, but stood there, quietly listening to the dull sound of the huge waves crashing against the sailing ship's divine magic array, and listening to the rumbling thunderous roar.

"Today's storm is much bigger than the previous days, and the thunder is so dense that it makes people tremble."

As an astronomical magician, although the "main star of destiny" and astrology cannot bring more accurate predictions, they can already occasionally give Lucian vague premonitions.

"Will this sailboat be destroyed by this terrible storm?" Lucian couldn't help but think about the worst, but at this time, when the storm was shrouded, there was no way to use astrology at all, so he could only be vigilant, "I hope my premonition went wrong, and I have been wrong several times before......"

As soon as the thought in his mind fell, a terrifying thunder exploded suddenly, shocking Lucian's mind at the same time, and the whole person felt weightless, as if he was about to fly in the narrow cabin.

"The sailboat was lifted up by the waves? Or is it?"

Snap, a heavy whipping sound came clearly from the divine magic formation, and the feeling of stumbling and unsteady standing was even more obvious.

"There is an enemy attack!" Lucian, who has a lot of combat experience and distress experience, couldn't judge that the sailboat was being attacked by the enemy at this time.

The sound of whipping was endless, mixed with the crackling sound of lightning striking the divine magic array, so that all the apprentices realized that something was wrong, no matter how weak they were after seasickness, they all gathered near Lucian's door. At this time, Mr. Evans, the official magician, was the pillar in their hearts, and even Olmos, who seemed the most mature and quiet among them, had a panicked expression at this time.

Lucian opened the door, pressed his hands down, and motioned for them to calm down: "No matter what kind of enemy it is, it has nothing to do with us now, there are great knights, knights, priests and magic circles on the sailboat, they will be responsible for solving it, we just need to wait for ......" If even a great knight like Viscount Wright can't solve it, it is useless for himself and others to worry, and they can only hope that the attacking "enemy" did not expect the magician to appear and could escape with the magic of magic.

Calm and peaceful, speaking unhurriedly, Lucian's attitude infected the apprentices, making them breathe deeply and slowly calm down.

Another heavy whip hit, the sailboat rose and fell violently again, and the apprentices swayed around outside the cabin, almost rolling all over the ground, and finally grabbed the door and waited firmly.

The creaking, the sound that made the scalp tingle and the teeth sore came out clearly from outside the cabin board, Lucian's face changed slightly, the divine magic circle was about to be broken?

As soon as he thought about it, Lucian's mental power was controlled by the storm and lightning to a small range, and he sensed a scorching heat rising outside, it was so majestic that even thunder and lightning, torrential rain, and torrential waves could not cover it up.

"I'm afraid it's a level five divine technique, and there is a bishop on board!"

Lucian had seen the Night Watch Captain, the fifth-level bishop, make a move from a distance, and could probably judge the power of this blow. In such a storm, using divine magic and magic below level four or five will not set off a wave and transmit the slightest fluctuation.

When the scorching divine technique fluctuations appeared, there was also a sudden whistling and sharp sound of wind in the heavy rain and lightning, they were so condensed and so sharp, completely different from the surrounding storms.

"Viscount Wright has made a move." Lucian thought silently, his heart was a little calmer, a bishop and a great knight joined forces, should be able to repel the incoming enemy, after all, if it was a high-level powerhouse, this sailboat had already sunk.

Viscount Light's bloodline power "Gale" is one of the symbols of Sturk City.

The sound of whipping disappeared, but the thunder and the sound of waves slapping were continuous, and there seemed to be shouts outside, faintly coming through the storm.

Suddenly, a huge wave far exceeding the previous one hit the ship on this floor, and the divine magic array, which was already on the verge of destruction, made a desperate shattering sound.

Immediately afterwards, Lucian and the apprentices saw that the cabin planks made of ironwood at the other end of the aisle had turned into countless fragments, and blue-black seawater mixed with white wave foam rushed in.

In this sea, there were monsters with fish heads and human bodies, covered with silver-gray fish scales, and their arms seemed to shrink but they were holding heavy tridents.

"Kou Tao fishman is a Kou Tao fishman who has not converted to the church! Why are they attacking the fleet?!" Lucian, who had read "The Complete Collection of Magical Creatures", recognized the types of these monsters at a glance, and the apprentices around him all turned pale when they saw the ferocious Kou Tao fishmen.

Lucian himself also felt a strong sense of danger:

"Fight with these Kou Tao fishmen? But there will definitely be knights, priests, and sailors coming down to protect the goods, and being discovered by them will be a dead end!"

"Run away? There is a terrifying storm outside, and I don't know what monsters are fighting with the bishop and the great knight, and if there is a slightest impact, they will be buried in the sea."

"What should I do?!"

Lucian forced himself to calm down, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and such a situation was the sorrow of a stowaway.
