[Notre Dame de Paris] Papal Way

The biggest advantage of living with the priest is that you can get rid of the Datong shop—even so, when he opened his eyes in the morning, for a moment Ace thought he had fallen into a slum.

Gypsies are home everywhere, used to wandering, and already have their unique way of life.And those Egyptian nobles who were expelled from their own land had suffered enough at the beginning.Their properties were looted, and their titles became empty titles that no one recognized. Although the last remaining priest in ancient Egypt was very precious, in terms of belief, it was considered crooked in the eyes of the Holy See.

If they were not lucky enough to meet the wandering gypsies, they might have stayed in Paris with the king of beggars and became part of the street beggars.Years of wandering life have worn away a lot of their arrogance and aristocratic temperament, and they have also learned how to face life calmly.However, Ace Melaorda, a noble son who was born in a magical family dozens of hours ago, was not so calm when facing this kind of life.

...the living quarters are shabby.

As a priest with a considerable status in the team, old man Padiamon has an independent residence.And because he was old and sick, he was given a specially vacated caravan.The dark and closed environment is filled with herbs, food, wine and bedding, and everything imaginable, all of which are mixed together to form a wonderful taste...

...the food was poor.

Lord Sacrifice has already predicted the appropriate direction of advance, and they will break out of camp as soon as the sun breaks.In order to reach the next town in time, they got up early and started packing their luggage.It was this movement that woke Ace up, and when he opened the curtain to look outside, a plate happened to appear in front of him.

"Here, this is breakfast for you and Master Ji." The dark-skinned middle-aged woman said coldly.

Ace looked at the sliced ​​black bread and dry bacon on the iron plate: "..."

Compared with his food and treatment yesterday, it is really much better...

. . . not to mention the worn out clothes, the cracked shoes, and the slang that is in your ears.Ace numbly drew and fastened the curtains, recalling the purification spell.The misty light and dust flashed through the air, and the smell in the car finally became fresh.

According to the custom of the gypsies, there are three buckets of water in the caravan, which are used to wash the food, wash the face and wash the feet respectively.In Emerald's memory, if the purpose of these three buckets of water is mistaken, there will be severe punishment within the group - but looking at the three buckets of water that smelled like herbs together, Ace did not in any case The way to start washing.

——How did you wash when you woke up from the Datong shop yesterday?

...Ah, it seemed that he hadn't woken up at the time, and was completely controlled by his body's instincts... When he regained consciousness, he was already sitting in front of the embers of the campfire with breakfast on an iron plate.

Looking back at the old Paddy Amon who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, Ace sighed silently.Anyway, the campsite is not far from the river, so why not just wash up by the river...

He straightened his clothes and climbed out of the caravan lightly.The camp was full of movements of moving things, as well as the sound of greeting and talking to each other.They all have the same dark skin, and they have wandered together in this land for many years, and they have become very united internally.

This kind of situation is rare in the Maris continent... No, to be precise, it doesn't exist at all.Except for the big merchants and mercenary regiments traveling north and south, there has never been a team that can endure long-term wandering.Even if they are driven by interests, they will eventually be scattered because of interests, and finally return to their hometowns and return to dust.

However, these people should be forced to do so... Needless to say, the Egyptians, the people in this team with pure Egyptian blood are the last remnants of ancient Egypt. Of course, they hope to return to their homeland in their lifetime, but in the end The important thing is the inheritance of blood; in fact, the Egyptian nobles with Arab blood are the invaders themselves, and they were driven out of the occupied land by the invaders, and they have nowhere to go; let alone the Gypsies , they have been wandering for centuries, never knowing where home is, let alone stopping and returning home.

It's a really... amazing team.

Although he has lost his original body, Ace still has an extraordinary affinity for water elements.He soon found a small river. The water didn't look deep, but it was very clear.

...Ace suddenly felt a little itchy on his body...

Although some magicians always advocate "magic is life", in the eyes of traditionalists like Ace, magic and life are two different things.The maid prepares delicious meals and presents them to the master respectfully. Can this kind of enjoyment be compared with gourmet magic and flying spells?After a tiring day, soaking in hot water and taking a comfortable bath, can this feeling be compared with the effects of meditation and potions?Take bathing as an example, although each department has its own unique cleansing techniques that can be used to cleanse the body, but can this be compared with the feeling of actually soaking the skin in water to cleanse the dirt?

No, no, although magic can do many convenient things, but only the material desire that the human body has been pursuing since its birth, it will never be able to satisfy it.Using spells to cleanse the body is just to make the body clean, but it is still not bathed in essence.

Ace stared at the clear and moving water, the sound of the water splashing against the rocks was particularly crisp and pleasant.Otherwise, just take a bath... Although the environment is relatively simple, it is better to be able to take a bath than not to be able to take a bath...

Ace turned his head quickly.You can still hear the voices of people talking here, it would be bad if someone suddenly came over...

No, no, as a handsome and masculine man, how can he be afraid of others' prying eyes?

...But showing off your chest is really challenging the moral bottom line, even for a magician with an unruly style...

... In this case, maybe a little isolation magic can solve it?

...No, no, this is too self-deceiving (xiuchi)...

Ace struggled for a long time, but finally couldn't bear the temptation, walked down the embankment, and stood on a rock near the water.

Or just wash your hair... Emerald's hair is still long...

Well...and then you can wash your face...and wash your arms and legs...

Ace slowly half-kneeled down, bending down gracefully.The clear river flows unhurriedly, and there are blurred reflections on the surface of the river.He couldn't help being moved, and used a small spell to fix the river in front of him.A clear image suddenly appeared, fully showing Ace's current appearance.

——The moment he saw his face, Ace froze.

If the hair color and eye color were changed to sea blue, and the complexion became pale, then this face would look exactly like him when he was a boy!

Long eyebrows, sharp nose, thin lips... The facial features seem to be the greatest gift from heaven to the world, and every part is perfect and impeccable.Even with his thin cheeks and haggard features, he looked more like a lost prince than a wandering pauper.The original emerald may not have such a perfect temperament, but Ace, who grew up in a magical family and is a magister, has a natural noble demeanor.The figure reflected on the water is described as handsome and handsome, and there is no exaggeration at all.

……but……

——Why did he look so feminine when he was 14? ! !

Ace stared at himself on the water.She has the skin tone of a coolie in a quarry, but her facial features appear to lack masculinity, and the thick curly hair of the shawl sets off her. If you don't pay attention, you look like a girl.

...Although I know that the original owner is often ridiculed, she might as well be a girl, but it's not like this!

Ace grabbed his hair and pushed it to the back of his head.It is quite satisfying to only show the facial features. After all, it can be hailed as the "Glory of Maris Continental Water", and Ace's appearance is definitely at the top level of the mainland.It seems that the hair is more in the way, it will be fine to cut it off...

With a "plop", Ace fell into the river.

"Hahahaha, Esmeralda fell into the water!" Several half-grown children laughed loudly by the river.Next to them stood a boy of eighteen or nineteen, still holding a long branch in his hand, it was he who had just swept Ace into the water.

The memory of the emerald became vivid, and Ace clearly recognized the identity of the leader—the boy was the grandson of the original Egyptian grand duke, the fourth in line heir to the Egyptian throne, and was made a marquis at birth.But the good times didn't last long. He only enjoyed the life of a prince for a year or two before he was driven out by the Turkish army that occupied Egypt and lived in exile.

Bashir didn't remember things early, so he didn't feel any contrast between them.However, if others talk too much, it will always have some impact on him. His personality gradually becomes surly, and he takes pleasure in bullying others, and Emerald is one of the objects he bullies.

The feeling of soaking in the water with clothes on was not pleasant, and Ace didn't intend to pay attention to the group of people, so he stood up and walked to the shore.However, Bashir did not intend to let him go, and the branch swung violently, almost hitting Ace's arm: "Hey, little bastard! You just stay in the water! We won't take you on the road! "
