Grey, Ivette, and Kaleb quickly left the Magic Eye Train and rushed into the depths of the Snow Forest.
Among them, Grey and Kaleb were the main offensive and defensive forces. The reason why Ivette followed them was that she had the magic eye made by the Lehman family, which had the ability to see through the direction of the spirit veins. She could find the node of the spirit veins in the first place, which greatly reduced the unnecessary work, so the time they stayed in the Snow Forest could be shortened.
Liu Xia looked at Grey's back from the window of the guest room. She didn't feel the slightest ripple in her heart. The expression on her face was still like a pool of stagnant water, as if her words of concern for Grey were all fake.
He walked out of the room and walked towards the second guest room where the second king was.
The second guest room.
After Ryuga knocked on the door, Collins quickly opened the door for Ryuga and let him enter the room.
The heater was on in the room, but under the erosion of the cold air of the Snow Forest, it was almost like there was nothing.
The second king was sitting on the sofa with a cigar between his two fingers. He was smoking as usual. He looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and there was a look of unwillingness in his eyes.
"The disciple is working hard outside, but I can't help at all."
The second king turned his head, took a puff of the cigar, and said to Ryuga with a depressed face, "Yin-yang, do you think I'm a failure as a teacher?"
Before Ryuga could answer, he turned back and talked to himself again.
"The Clock Tower has judged that I have the ability to teach students, so all kinds of geniuses and monsters are stuffed into my classroom. But every time I see those geniuses rising to the sacrificial and pawn positions at an extremely fast speed, no one knows what I'm thinking.
"I'm envious, jealous, and sometimes I even hate their talent because they can easily do things that I can't. My talent is very inferior, not even 1% of theirs. If it weren't for the fact that I'm good at teaching students, I wouldn't even have a sacrificial altar. At most, I'd only be an opening, which is only slightly better than a magic apprentice."
There was nothing sadder than this.
He pursued the path of magic, but because of his inferior talent, he stagnated. Instead, he taught students who surpassed him. At the moment when his students surpassed him, no one knew how much of his heart was gratified, and how much of it was envious and jealous.
"Your heart is in a mess."
Ryuga said.
Edmund II paused for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly. "You can tell at a glance. You really have the talent to observe humans. Just like you said, I was disturbed by the words of the servant last night … I wouldn't say such things normally."
Usually, he was rational enough to hide all his negative emotions in his heart. However, his rational barrier was broken by the servant last night, and he began to doubt himself.
"Does the words of the servant who called himself Hephaestus really have that kind of magic for you?"
Ryuga asked back. "Whether it was in the Peel City or the Twin Tower, in my eyes, you were a very good person. You were knowledgeable, logical, and meticulous. You were even more so when you were in the Clock Tower. You didn't show any fear when you talked to the magician who was far stronger than you. So, to be honest, I didn't expect that you would be defeated by a few words. I even began to doubt whether you are Ermero II himself."
That was indeed Ryuga's opinion of Ermero II.
There were not many people who could make him praise. So far, in addition to the unpredictable [Yin-yang Style], only Ermero II and the leader of the Ghost Squad, Masayoshi Uchiha, could make him think of them as' excellent. '
"Excellent … Then you really think too highly of me."
Edmund II shook his head and lowered his head to take another puff of his cigar. "Yin-yang, what do you think is growth for a person?"
"Surpass yourself in the past."
"Yes, surpass yourself."
Edmund II laughed self-deprecatingly. "Then I didn't do it at all. I was the same as ten years ago. I didn't grow at all. I was as reckless, stubborn, ignorant, and self-righteous as before."
Ten years ago.
It seemed to be when Edmund II participated in the last Holy Grail War. At that time, the previous Ermero was still alive.
However, Ryuga didn't know much about it, so there was no way to speculate easily.
After making a lot of negative comments about himself, Edmund II fell into silence again, and his face became extremely depressed.
He had been in this state since last night, and it didn't improve until now.
From the looks of it, it was somewhat impossible to leave this matter to him to resolve.
"Growth …"
Liu Xia also lowered her head and fell into deep thought as she murmured in her heart.
"On the other hand, can my current behavior be regarded as growth?"
At this moment, Ryuga's heart had the same question as Edmund II.
After reuniting with Grey, he had been playing the role that met Grey's expectations. That was why he went to help Grey when she was troubled. When she asked him for something, he didn't refuse because there was no benefit. When Olga Mary was at her wit's end, he took the initiative to stand up.
The reason why Ryuga said that it was a 'request' instead of a 'condition' when he borrowed the holy spear was that regardless of whether Grey agreed to lend it to him or not, Ryuga intended to help her unconditionally. The holy spear could only be regarded as an unexpected gain.
His original intention was to understand feelings through playing the role of a character, and to understand the psychological change process on the day of the Twin Mask Tower.
But during this period of time, his heart was still as unmoved as before. He didn't gain any feelings through this, and he couldn't even understand the psychological change when he was in the Twin Mask Tower.
This should be the same as Edmund II, there was no growth.
… …
More than ten minutes later.
Through the window of the guest room, Ryuga, Edmund II, and Collins found that Ivette and Kalibor came out of the snow forest together and returned to the Magic Eye Train.
After the two returned, the engine of the train roared again, and the wheels slowly rolled on the rails.
"Wait, where is Grey?"
Edmund II's face changed in an instant, and the decadence just now was swept away, leaving only tension and worry. "Grey didn't come back with them!"
Ryuga narrowed his eyes slightly.
Even with his eyesight, he didn't see Grey's figure in the snow forest.
"Yin-yang!"
Edmund II did not hesitate and made a serious request to Ryuga. "I won't go out easily, and that servant won't easily fight with the Magic Eye Train. Please take care of Grey!"
"I know."
Ryuga nodded, then stepped forward, opened the window of the train, and directly jumped out of the window and rushed into the snow forest in the distance before the train accelerated further.
