Holding the ring, Lucien listened to Natasha's story and said, "Mrs. Grand Duke was really a genius sorcerer. She won the highest honor in the field of elemental magic when she was only twenty-three years old. She was not a senior-rank sorcerer at that time, was she?" It was a kind of respect that arose spontaneously. Lucien could not believe that such a genius would abandon her own path of magic for love.
Natasha's smile was peaceful, as if she was immersed in the memory of her mother, "My mother always said that everyone has their own strengths, and it's up to you to find them. After the Kingdom of Holm supported the Congress of Magic, many descendants of the royal family who could not awaken their Blessing power had other choices. Many children who were laughed at in Knight training and combat training later became outstanding sorcerers. My mother was physically weak, and her spiritual power was not outstanding either. Even with the help of potions, she could not awaken her Blessing power. However, she left her footprints on the path of magic. When she won the Holm Crown prize, she was only a junior sorcerer. "
"Unfortunately, her body and soul were corroded by all kinds of strange magic elements all year round. And my brother was hit by the Lord's blessing. After she failed to become a senior-rank sorcerer, she was never able to get out of bed again."
"Mrs. Grand Duke has been studying magic all this time?" Lucien was a bit surprised, but he knew that the Church would turn a blind eye to such a special object.
Natasha wrinkled her nose and smiled, "If my father didn't allow her to study magic, she probably would've taken me and my brother back to Holm directly. When he was young, other than the fact that his father did not seem to be able to get along with other people, his deepest impression of her was the cold magic laboratory and the smell of all kinds of strange potions. As for the Church … "
"This ring must have a special meaning for you, Natasha …" Lucien looked at the ring.
Natasha also lowered her head and looked at the ring in Lucien's hand. She smiled freely, "The ring is not important. What's important is my feelings for my mother. Could it be that without the ring, I would not miss her and think of her? Lucien, don't be shy like a girl. As a keepsake related to magic, it's the most suitable. But if you don't run into too big of a problem, you'd better not take it to the Will of Elements or the Holm Royal Magic Academy with it. When you become a senior-rank sorcerer, it may be a good mentor. "
Hearing Natasha's words, Lucien shook his head and smiled, "Thank you, Her Royal Highness. The effects of the vampire's blood haven't worn off yet? Should I carry you back to Ato? "
"It's gone, but I can still go back to Aalto. You'd better leave as soon as possible. I'm worried that the Church might come here at any time." Natasha waved her hand. "Don't worry about your identity. I'll take care of it."
"Can I still use the identity of Lucien Evans in the future?" Lucien was planning to change his name when he arrived in Holm so that he would not get John and the rest of them involved. Hearing Natasha's words, he was rather surprised.
Natasha sneered at Lucien, "Do you think a common name like Lucien Evans is special? Ato has a lot of names. As long as you don't mention that you're a famous musician in Holm, no one will think of you. As for the identity of Lucien Evans, it's actually a good disguise. Maybe it'll come in handy when you come back to the Storm Strait. As for how to make 'him' exist for a long time, as long as you send me some new music occasionally, I'll take care of it. "
"I'll probably focus on my studies and research in the future, so I won't have much music." Lucien knew that a famous identity would be very useful in the future, but he still hesitated.
"It'll be great if you can keep one piece for a few years. I believe in your musical talent. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it. "Although Natasha said that, her eyes were very bright.
Lucien replied vaguely, "I'll try my best." Lucien had been planning to use music to relieve the tiredness caused by studying magic in his spare time.
After deciding how to send the letter to Natasha, Lucien put away the Fire Weaver Bracelet, Alan's level-two weapon, Enfeeble Dagger, and Frigid Iron Dagger. Then he took the damaged longsword, Alert, and said goodbye to Natasha, "I hope we can meet again in the future, Her Royal Highness."
The heavy three-headed flail was not only difficult for Lucien to use, but also inconvenient to carry. Therefore, he left it to Natasha.
Natasha didn't have too many feelings of parting. She just smiled and said, "Just call me Natasha. I'll take good care of your friends for you. "
"Thank you, Natasha." Lucien thanked her sincerely.
When he turned around and took two steps, he heard Natasha's voice coming from behind, "Lucien …"
"What?" Lucien looked back at her.
Natasha smiled gently, "Remember, life is not only about magic. There's also music, friends, and laughter."
"I'll keep that in mind." Lucien smiled and nodded.
…
Seeing Lucien's back turning into faint light and disappearing into the dark forest, Natasha stopped smiling and said seriously, "Come out. You've been listening for a long time."
"Her Royal Highness, your intuition is really sharp." In the dark sky, a transparent figure appeared out of nowhere and slowly became clearer. It was Salvatore, the Canon Keeper, who was wearing a white bishop's robe. He was wearing a black glove and a white handkerchief on his wrist. "Ms. Camil, you've gone in the wrong direction. You're heading towards Knight Wynn. Fortunately, I came here in time, or I wouldn't have known that 'Professor' was just a common sorcerer from your conversation. Humph, a common sorcerer dared to make fun of us night watchers like this! Not only did he make me lose all my team members, but he also became the 359th target on the Cleansing List. How shameful! "
Salvatore's anger was obvious.
Natasha looked at him calmly, "You didn't do anything just now. It seems that your anger didn't destroy your rationality. Maybe you have something else to say? "
Salvatore, who was floating in the sky, looked down at the direction where Lucien went, "I can see that Mr. Professor is very important to you, Her Royal Highness. So, I want to make a deal with you. I want to help you hide the fact that Lucien, the genius musician, is the evil sorcerer, Professor."
His anger disappeared, and his whole body was covered by the scorching holy light. Although Natasha was not wearing the Blood Dragon Armor and could not fight in midair, and he had the advantage because he could fly, it was better to be safe than sorry. What if Natasha suddenly threw the Thunder Sword at him?
"Your team members are really unfortunate," Natasha commented briefly.
Salvatore chuckled, "My belief in helping them take revenge is very firm. However, revenge can be delayed, but the opportunity to work with Your Highness, who is valued by His Holiness the Pope, will be hard to come back after I miss it. This is the best way to realize the ideal world that I've been pursuing for a long time. The reason why I gave up my identity as a bishop and became a night watcher in the dark is because … "
"I don't want to hear about your painful past." Natasha stopped Salvatore's tirade.
Salvatore did not mind and smiled, "Her Royal Highness is really straightforward and decisive. The deal I want is … you?!"
Before he finished, he was shocked to see that Natasha suddenly flew in front of him and slashed the Thunder Sword from the bottom to the top.
A terrifying crack of nothingness appeared on the scorching holy light, cutting it and Salvatore in half.
Standing in the air, Natasha stared at Salvatore coldly with her beautiful silver-purple eyes, "I never accept threats."
In his trance, Salvatore saw that his soul of faith was broken into pieces. In the end, his remaining consciousness turned into a faint voice, "Knight?"
Natasha looked at Salvatore quietly and smiled from the bottom of her heart, "As long as Auntie Camille is safe. But if I had known that they would come so fast, Lucien and I would not have risked our lives like this. "
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Camille in a black dress flew over from the other side of the black forest, carrying the unconscious Wayne and Yakasha. Her stiff and serious face became gentle and kind, "Natasha, you're really a genius Knight. You've taken advantage of this danger to straighten out your blood and merge your will."
"It's all thanks to you and Auntie Camille's teaching." Natasha was about to reply with a smile, but Camille's words reminded her of the past, and she became a bit sad.
They arrived at Aalto when the sun rose. Natasha comforted the Grand Duke who was worried and angry and went straight to the Golden Cathedral.
In a confessional, Natasha found Sardes who was praying quietly.
"Grand Cardinal Sardes, there's something I want to confess in front of the Lord." Natasha was indeed a devout believer.
Sardes opened his eyes, which were getting more and more cloudy, "What is it?"
Natasha drew a cross in front of her chest, "I killed Mr. Salvatore, a guard in the Lord's darkness."
"You're being honest, not repentant?" Sardes was not emotional even when he heard that a level-five night watcher captain was killed.
Natasha nodded solemnly, "Yes, I don't regret it. But I know it's a serious mistake. My Knight's creed does not allow me to hide it. I'm willing to accept the punishment. "
"Why did you kill him?" Sardes continued asking.
Natasha was silent and did not answer.
Sardes stood up. Compared with yesterday, he seemed to have aged more than ten years, "I'll report this to His Holiness and ask him to punish you. Natasha, please wait patiently for an hour."
After Sardes left, the blood vessels on Natasha's hands and face bulged, which twisted her beautiful face and made her look extremely painful. However, Natasha clenched her teeth and kept kneeling in front of the cross without making any sound.
… …
In a simple but bright study, a white-haired old man in an ordinary priest's robe said to the cardinal in front of him in a low voice, "The Lord will forgive everyone who repents. Natasha confessed her mistake and became a Knight, so we don't need to punish her too harshly. Let her go to the lowest level of the Aalto Abbey to train as an ascetic for three years."
"Yes, His Holiness." The cardinal slowly left the room.
The old man picked up a stack of manuscripts that he had put down earlier. Some strange things were recorded in them.
"The target does not seem to reject my speech." … "He often has moments of confusion." …
"Maybe he's wavering."
… …
Lucien followed the method Natasha taught him to avoid being tracked and ran back to Massawa Town in the Black Forest. However, the distance between the two places was too far. He did not reach the town until nine o 'clock in the morning. However, Lucien did not enter the hotel room directly. Instead, he burned his black robe in a hidden place and walked to the front door of the hotel wearing a black shirt with a wide open collar.
In the hall of the hotel, Lucien did not see any mercenaries or coachman, so he asked the hotel owner, "I want to know where my mercenaries, Joyce, and the rest of the mercenaries have gone. I only went out for a walk in the morning, and I can't find them when I come back? "
The hotel owner had personally opened the door for Lucien last night, so he naturally recognized him. He replied with a little awkwardness and amusement, "Many adventurers flooded into the town in the morning and spread their fear to everyone, causing the town to be in chaos. Joyce and the rest did not find you, esteemed guest, in the room. They all thought that you were kidnapped by despicable and evil adventurers, so they all ran away in fear of being held responsible. "
Lucien held back his laughter, "That's really bad news. I had no choice but to hire new mercenaries and carriages. However, this is my negligence. I forgot to tell them. Could I trouble you to inform the Adventurers' Association that I terminated the contract in advance? This way, they won't become fugitives. "
"You are really a kind gentleman." The hotel owner praised him with pen and paper.
After leaving his signature and seal on the written document, Lucien returned to his room to change his clothes and prepare to begin his own journey.
