The kidnapping of Morteris had also attracted Lolo's attention. Once the city entered the Level Two state of alert, they would not be able to leave the city and go to Grimm, which was 400 miles away. However, Rob then comforted her. Gudilesi was one of the most prosperous port cities in the south, and it received a large number of traders and tourists every day. Even the parliament could not maintain the lockdown for a long time, and no one could afford the loss.
In fact, two days later, Gudilesi announced that the state of alert would be lowered to Level Three, which meant that the ban on leaving the city and leaving the port had been lifted. The city had basically returned to its normal functions, but there was still a tense atmosphere at the port gates and other places. The garrison had put in a lot of manpower to interrogate strangers.
Some of the underground forces in the city had also sensed the danger. Recently, they had consciously reduced the frequency of their activities. Some gang leaders even gave their underlings a day off and told them not to cause any trouble for the time being. Even the black market in Mean Alley, which was tacitly allowed by the government, had become much quieter. Both the merchants and the customers had decreased by more than half. At this time, no one wanted to be associated with the disappearance of Morteris.
"Let's go out and get some fresh air later." The future Supreme Magus Your Honor said to the girl who was reading seriously in the library, "Do you remember the last time you left the library?"
Luo Luo rubbed her eyes and glanced at the dozen or so books left in her hands. She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she heard Luo Bu say, "In the afternoon, the school will be holding a small ceremony at the cemetery to remember the teachers and students who died in the freshmen competition. As the hero who saved everyone in the end, those guys will definitely hope that you can be there."
The girl shook her head and said, "I'm not a hero. Everyone found the holy sword together, and I just happened to use it to deliver the last blow. If I were anyone else, I could have done the same, and maybe even better than me. In fact, if it weren't for the mysterious teacher, even if we killed that monster, we wouldn't have survived."
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor did not express an opinion. He pointed behind her and said, "Maybe you can try to explain it to them."
Lolo turned around and saw a girl running toward her excitedly. Seeing her turn around, the girl said excitedly, "Ah, it's you. You must be Junior Lolo, who is known as the 'Holy Sword Magus'." After shouting, she realized that she was in the library and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Then, she said softly, "I've been looking for you. I wanted to thank you in person."
"Thank … me?" Lolo did not know what to do. Her eyes fell on the girl's chest. She should be a second-year Swordsman, but the two did not seem to have any interactions before, so she did not know where the girl's gratitude came from.
"Yes, yes. If it weren't for you, my brother would be dead now." The senior warmly held her hand and stuck out her tongue. "Hey, look at my bad memory. I almost forgot to introduce myself. I'm Yuna, Mobley's sister. I live in Padora, a very beautiful mountain city. If you have time during the holidays, I would like to invite you to my house. Haha, Mom and Dad really want to meet you. Mom even said that she's going to prepare her best brisket stew for you. You must come and try it."
"Huh? I actually didn't do much … "Lolo hurriedly waved her hand. She wanted to say something, but Yuna interrupted her again." Wow, wow, you're so humble. You're very different from the rumors. I was wondering if you were the kind of person who was difficult to get along with. I only felt relieved after I met you. "Yuna patted her chest and said," That's great. You might even become friends in the future. Oh, right. You'll be attending the ceremony in the afternoon, right? Those children are so pitiful. They met with an accident at such a young age. And Teacher Leonie, she was the one with the highest chance of survival, but in order to protect the students around her, she deliberately released magic to attract those worms. In the end, she was outnumbered and did not want to be controlled by those worms, so she resolutely chose to commit suicide.
Luo Luo seemed to have made up her mind about something. She closed the book in her hand and said seriously, "Yes … yes. I will attend the ceremony in the afternoon, but not as a hero. I just want to remember those who have passed away with everyone. After all, I know many of them." Luo Luo seemed to have made up her mind about something.
"I knew it. No wonder you're the legendary holy sword sorcerer. You're so gentle. If I were a guy, I would definitely pursue you. Hehehe, that's it then. I still have something to do, so I won't be with you. We'll see each other at the cemetery!" Yuna made an 'OK' gesture and ran two steps before turning back and waving. "Anyway, it's nice to meet you today, holy sword sorcerer ~"
"Me too, Senior Sister Yuna. However, please don't call me Holy Sword Mage anymore. It's very embarrassing," Yuna said with a smile.
However, Yuna was already far away by then, and no one knew if she heard Lolo's last sentence.
After watching Yuna leave the library, Lolo put down her hand and looked at someone who was holding his chin with one hand and twirling a quill with the other. She hesitated for a moment, and then said in a voice that was even softer than words, "I … I'm sorry."
"Huh? Why are you apologizing to me all of a sudden? "The quill in the young man's fingers paused in mid-air as he raised his eyebrows.
"Well, the marriage did affect me. I've been too eager to succeed recently. I've been trying to find a way to make myself stronger in a short time, and because of that, I've neglected the most important things in life. Some time ago, Gage and Jenny came to me and invited me to participate in their activities. I knew that they were worried about me, but I still rejected their invitation. I convinced myself that it was all for the sake of my future exploration of Oz Grimm. But in fact, I know that the real reason is because of the fear in my heart."
"In fact, I've been afraid ever since I found out about Grandma Teresa's whereabouts. I'm afraid that I'll miss this opportunity because I'm not strong enough. If that's the case, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. That's why I've been working so hard to make myself stronger. I can't wait to use every minute and second of my life to improve my strength. I don't care about anything else. I know that this isn't right, but I just can't stop. My father once said that the truly strong aren't those who possess great power, but those who follow their hearts, who are sincere to their friends, who have compassion for the weak, and who are loyal to their loved ones."
"The Scarlet Sword. Many children in the north grew up listening to his legend. But it's such a pity that I didn't get to meet him in person." Rob sighed and put down the quill in his hand.
"Well, all in all, thank you for always caring about me and never giving up, especially … especially you …" The girl's voice was getting softer and softer. She didn't dare to look at the man in the eyes. "Although you didn't say anything all this time, I know that you're the one who's most worried about me. I'm sorry that my willfulness has caused you a lot of trouble."
