On the History of the Pope's Death

The morning sun was warm and gentle. With a clear view, the group took just over an hour to reach the edge of the mountain forest. Through the lush trees, a hunched figure could be faintly seen walking back and forth. .

When they walked in, they realized that it was the old mayor. Everyone unconsciously slowed down. Thinking of the young man with a similar face to the old mayor, his heart was even heavier.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he turned around to see Lucia and the others. The old mayor eagerly glanced over everyone's faces one by one. With hope and anticipation, his normally narrowed eyes opened at this moment.Scanning around, he didn't find the person he wanted to see the most, his eyes dimmed, but as if thinking of something, he looked at Lucia who had already walked in front of him with burning eyes, and asked in a hoarse and trembling voice : "Is it because the missing person is still trapped inside, and you can't rescue it for a while?"

Seeing the old man's appearance, Lucia couldn't bear to tell him the cruel news directly, so she stretched out her hand to support his trembling body, and asked inappropriately, "Mayor, why are you waiting here?"

Lucia looked at him with painful eyes, so that the wise old man could no longer deceive himself. He held Lucia's hand tightly and asked palely, "They... my son, aren't they...?"

Before he finished speaking, Lucia nodded slightly, confirming his guess.A simple movement seemed to drain all the strength from the old man. If Lucia hadn't supported him, he might have fallen to the ground.

After a long while, the old mayor came back to his senses, slowly raised his hand to wipe the tears off his face, his eyes were reddish, and he murmured in a distressed voice, "It can be regarded as an explanation for myself." Standing up, he looked blankly at the mountains and forests, "Where is he now?"

Although Lucia has never experienced this kind of grief personally, she can feel it a little bit, "Don't worry, we brought people back." After a pause, he said: "I'm sorry, we only found five people , their remains have also been brought back, and I have to trouble you to confirm their identities."

Hearing that other people had also been found, the old mayor cheered up and thanked Lucia and the others despite his grief.Afterwards, Lucia handed over the full authority to the old mayor, and he himself took the people back to the hotel.

Since the people from the Holy See had not yet arrived, the group stayed in Rostock for another two days until the mage sent by the Holy See arrived, and then Lucia and the others set off for Kleist.

Every year when Kleist College starts enrolling students, Selby City will become extremely lively. All talented young people will flock to Selby during this time, hoping to enter Kleist to study through selection. .Kleist is also an opportunity for many commoners to become nobles, or to be appreciated by a big noble and enter the upper class, so Kleist recruits students every year. The scene is extremely hot.

The weather in March has warmed up slightly, and the trees on the side of the road have sprouted new buds. The selection for admission to Crest College has also ended this morning. Most of the people who failed to enter the college packed up their things regretfully and prepared to leave Cyprus. Selby, today the city gate of Selby is full of people coming and going, but there are many people leaving the city, but not many entering the city.

The originally noisy city gate was suddenly quiet for about a second or so. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the luxury carriage slowly driving over. You know that the people sitting in the carriage are either rich or noble.

Lucia was leaning on the soft pillow behind him, holding a cup of hot tea and sipping comfortably. Arnold, who was sitting opposite him, was reading "Encyclopedia of Using Space Magic" in his hand, but he hadn't read the book for a long time. one page.

Lucia only thought that he was in a daze, but in fact it was quite good, God knows he was about to suffer a nervous breakdown from Arnold, these two days in the carriage, although Arnold served him very well, but if he can get rid of the tenderness in his eyes The problem of staring at him is even better, Nima is not a beauty, what is the meaning of looking at him like this, thinking about the scene of him and Arnold looking at each other affectionately, goose bumps have arisen, is there any!

If it wasn't for him being so sure and sure that this is a straight and straight world, he would almost be narcissistic and think that Arnold is in love with him. It will return to normal, Lucia imagined all kinds of beauties who are about to appear on the stage, and curled the corners of her mouth comfortably. The heroine is Arnold, and the female supporting role is left to him to save.

Here Lucia is yelling about the good life in the future, and Arnold over there is actually having a friendly conversation with Lance in his brain.

"There are preserved keels in Kleist Academy, you can find a chance to get some for me when the time comes."

"Keel? One of the materials for your resurrection?" Arnold had already helped Lance collect a lot of materials when he was in the Demon Realm, and the keel was one of the remaining dozen materials.Dragons, like mermaids, are rarely active in the mainland. Originally, Arnold planned to visit the dragon settlements himself when his own strength improved, but since Kleist has a ready-made one, he can not leave Lucia. , Arnold is naturally a lot of joy.

Aware of Arnold's emotions and his soft eyes looking at Lucia, Lance, who guessed what Arnold was thinking, calmly explained: "Principal Kleist's beast pet was a silver dragon thousands of years ago, and it was just fighting against the demons. He died in the middle of the war, so the Dragon Clan will leave a part of the keel to Kleist."

Putting away the magic book specially found for him by his brother, Arnold leaned over and took out a plate of delicate snacks from the small drawer of the carriage, twisted a piece of flower-shaped pastry, Arnold smiled and handed it to Lucia, " Brother, there is still a while before the meal, let's eat some snacks to cushion our stomachs."

Lucia looked at the snacks stretched out to her mouth and Arnold who was smiling all over the place, felt her little heart tremble, barely maintained her composure, and replied gently: "I'm not hungry yet."

Under Lucia's firm eyes, Arnold didn't insist anymore, but glanced vaguely at Lucia's moist and thin lips, with a little pity in his eyes, put the pastry in his hand back on the plate, and asked instead: "How long will my brother stay at Crest College?"

Seeing Arnold put down the snack in his hand, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, and replied, "About two or three years."

After calculating the remaining materials, it is quite difficult to get them. After getting the keel, I can follow my brother, improve my strength first, and then find other materials. I have been waiting for thousands of years, Lance You shouldn't mind waiting another three years.And his own strength is not enough, who knows if resurrecting him will be detrimental to him.

Kleist stipulates that each student of some privileged classes can only bring one attendant. Other than Sandy and Jocelyn who are close to Lucia, especially Jocelyn has been with Lucia since he was a child. Others can't compare, not to mention that he has been separated from his brother for so many years. Although his brother is as close to him as he was when he was a child during this time, Arnold is still not sure about his position in his brother's heart.

"Brother, Kleist students can only bring one attendant, who do you plan to bring?"

Lucia, who couldn't keep up with Arnold's jumping thinking, replied reflexively when he heard the question: "Jocelyn." As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the car became a little dangerous. Seeing Arnold's moody expression Face, I feel that if I don’t explain it, something bad will happen next. Although I don’t know why Arnold became so strange, he still said: “Sandy and the Cavaliers can directly enter Clay as students. ster."

Seeing Arnold's obviously sunken face, Lucia quickly added: "You should have something to do, you can't stay by my side all the time."

In the original book, the next plot should be that Arnold and the heroine went on an adventure on Dragon Island together, and became a magic saint, so he felt that Arnold would leave after meeting the heroine. Anyway, now Arnold passed through his Teach definitely does not have any thoughts of destroying the world, and it doesn't matter if he is not by his side.After this reunion, Arnold became a little too close to him, which made him very uncomfortable. It was better to use this opportunity to separate.

He noticed the subtle expression fluctuations on Lucia's face. Although the previous answer disappointed him, his brother obviously didn't know his thoughts at all. I'm afraid he just didn't want to think deeply. This result has reached Arnold's goal. The effect of boiling the frog in warm water may not be obvious, but it is still there. All he needs to do is wait, waiting for the day when his brother can't leave him.

"Why does my brother think that something is wrong with me?"

Of course, Lucia couldn't directly say that I knew it from reading a book, and could only say with a guilty conscience: "I just guessed it myself. After all, your teacher is the one who helped you lift the seal. There should be something for you to do."

Arnold, who knew his brother very well, of course would not be deceived, but now is not the time. One day, he will know all the little secrets of his brother. Arnold looked at Lucia with a look that implied that he was bound to win.Facing Lucia, he put on a slightly smug expression and said, "Brother, you guessed wrong, I'll be fine for the next three years." Narrowing his eyes, he said in a pitiful tone: "I just don't know Will my brother take me in?"

Lucia watched Arnold's series of performances, dear, can your expression be more exaggerated?Knowing that he was pretending, Lucia just couldn't say the words of refusal. Thinking about it, Arnold will definitely leave after meeting the heroine anyway. It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not, so he smiled and replied: "Of course. Willing to take it in."

Arnold got the answer, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a pleasant arc, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very harmonious and beautiful for a while.
