Lolo's mind was in a mess, and she even forgot to swallow the cake in her mouth.
She was not unprepared for the arrival of this day. The Shrine had been chasing her, so it was destined that she could not stay in one place all the time. The marriage had sounded the alarm for her. The fleet of the Ferdinand Family was eyeing the Ruby Islands covetously and might appear outside the port of Gudilesi City at any time. However, when this day really came, she was still a little at a loss.
It had been more than half a year since they had entered Siames, and she had gradually gotten used to life on campus. There were no pursuits, no surveillance from the Temple, and there were no adventurers living in the wilderness. She buried herself in books and classes, trying her best to absorb knowledge related to magic. Other than that, she had also made some good friends. Sometimes, they would eat together, go to class, and discuss where to find delicious snacks and pretty clothes. Just like any other girl, she would sometimes forget about the dangers lurking in the darkness behind her.
However, she was different from the other students in this school.
She was the current head of the Bretton Family, the daughter of the Scarlet Sword, and also a secret wanted criminal of the Shrine.
She should have had an enviable life, but her mother's unexpected death changed everything. The Scarlet Sword spent more than ten years investigating, but in the end, her mother's whereabouts were still unknown. So she took over this responsibility, escaped from home in order to find the truth, and set foot on this difficult path resolutely.
Lolo had long been aware of this, so when this day came, she did not have any complaints. But he … The girl looked at someone. This guy said before that his dream was to open a bakery and find a remote place to live a peaceful and simple life … Well, although Gudilesi was not remote, now his dream could be considered to have come true, at least half of it. But now, because of her, he had to give up everything that he had painstakingly obtained. This was not fair to him.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." The young man's palm did not leave her head. "Everyone has something very important. For you, it's finding the truth about your mother's death. For this matter, you can give up your previous life. For me, it's to protect you. In my heart, this matter is more important than anything else. The bakery can be opened again, but without you, I don't know what the world will become."
"You … You are also very important to me." Lolo lowered her head, and her voice was even softer than a mosquito. "So … so …"
"So you have the responsibility to keep my world running." Rob looked into the girl's eyes. "I will accompany you to find out the truth of that incident, but you have to promise me that from now on, you will not casually gamble with your life, because there are still people in this world who are worried about you."
As Rob spoke, he reached out his other hand to her cheek. The girl became nervous again, thinking that this guy was going to bully her again. In the end, he only wiped the cream off the girl's mouth. After that, the young man took the cake plate from her hand and smiled at her. "Go back and get ready. We will leave in two days and set off for Oz Grimm."
… …
As per their agreement, the future Supreme Magister, Your Honor, hung a string of purple wind chimes outside his shop. As a result, the fox-masked man quickly responded. The golem Hector quietly climbed into the bakery through the window late at night.
It originally wanted to go upstairs to look for someone, but after taking two steps, it changed its mind. Since there was no one around, it tiptoed to the counter. The simple lock on the drawer obviously could not stop it. The little golem changed the shape of its finger and gently poked the keyhole to open the drawer.
But then the anticipation in its eyes turned into disappointment. After opening the box, it was disappointed to find that there was only some change inside. But no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Although Hector complained, it still poured the change into its pocket. It wanted to sneak away to another place, but at that moment, the house suddenly lit up.
Luo was standing behind it. The girl had been vigilant ever since she learned that she was targeted by the Ferdinand Family. When she heard the movement downstairs, she quickly got up from the bed and released an illumination spell. After that, Luo Bu also came down from the second floor.
After a few months, the little golem had changed a lot. In fact, it was the biggest gain from the trip to the Dungeon. After successfully rescuing Claire, Merlin fulfilled his promise and gave it a pair of long legs made of the Elven Tree. After equipping the new legs, it not only moved faster, but also grew taller. With the addition of the pectoral muscles made of blue crystal, it looked a lot cooler. In addition, it used the money it had saved to exchange for a finger that could open locks everywhere. As a result, the fox-masked man had to add a few more magic formations outside his treasure vault to guard against thieves.
Hector came to meet up with the two tonight, but when he arrived at the bakery, he found that there was no one on the first floor. He could not help but feel itchy again. In the end, he was caught red-handed.
The situation was a little awkward. The little golem rolled its eyes, trying to find an excuse to fool the two, but it could not come up with anything after a long time.
Fortunately, Rob did not seem to want to argue with it over such a trivial matter. He raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you are our guide for this operation?"
Hector nodded and made a gesture to wait. Then, he touched his pocket, but only took out a handful of change. He scratched his head again and began to search other parts of his body. Finally, he opened his chest and put his hand in for a while. After a while, he found the crumpled note. The little golem heaved a sigh of relief and handed the note to the two.
People who saw it for the first time would easily be fooled by its cute appearance, but in fact, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor knew very well that it was just an illusion deliberately created by the little golem. The cunning monster in the freshmen arena had suffered a loss from this guy, and it had also sneaked away from Rob once. This guy was definitely not easy to deal with.
Lolo took the note and opened it. It was written in the same handwriting as the notes she had received before. Obviously, it was Merlin's handwriting.
The first half of the content was not very useful. It was just some polite words to wish them a smooth operation. In addition, he was very considerate and said that there was no need to worry about the school. He could help them apply for an indefinite suspension. However, in the second half, the fox masked man mentioned a guy named Max, but he did not elaborate on this guy. He did not mention his appearance, age, occupation, or even whether he was a friend or a foe. He only said that if the two were interested, they could meet each other.
