[Notre Dame de Paris] Papal Way

... What did he just say?

Ace narrowed his eyes slightly, and returned to normal in an instant.Probably because of jealousy... After all, according to the calculations of these people, Bashir is still the third heir to the Grand Duke of Egypt. When he was a child, Bashir, a veritable prince, didn't enjoy the benefits of a prince anymore, and was only jokingly called "Her Majesty the Earl".Nothing can be seen without comparison, but Emerald suddenly became a "prince" recognized by everyone as a kidnapped child, and lived in the sacrificial caravan that night. What does it mean?

In fact, this does not prove anything, and Ace himself can come up with countless reasons to explain it in minutes.But for Bashir, this kind of behavior is an incentive to stimulate him, making his jealousy and dissatisfaction swell like never before, and he began to attack Ace intolerably.

With the smart appearance of an adult, he is still a stupid child at heart. The noble former magister Ace doesn't intend to care about anything with him.

...Of course, the premise is that he is sensible.

Ace finally frowned and turned around when the branch swiped unscrupulously again.He did a small parry, with no surprising effect, but just enough for the branch to slip off his shoulder and hit the water hard.And with a scream, Bashir himself rolled down from the river bank and slipped into the water along the sticky soil.

Bashir's purpose can be imagined. He wanted to hit Ace on the head and make him fall in the water, but suddenly lost his strength, and instead made himself suffer.But he didn't think that Ace was lucky, he just thought that he deliberately wanted to let him fall in, and suddenly said angrily: "Ha! You still want to do something to me!?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Bashir." Ace stepped on the rock, looking condescendingly at the drowned chicken in front of him, "I don't have the habit of... ah, others, after they bite me, they bite me back."

Bashir's little followers didn't understand the meaning, but he himself understood it very quickly, and stood up from the water suddenly: "What do you mean!"

"This kind of attitude is not acceptable, Bashir." Ace raised his chin and mocked, "If you want to ask others what they mean, at least you must first speak clearly. I seem to hear you just called me What—some unflattering word?"

Bashir shouted angrily: "Little bastard!"

Ace's face darkened, and he stared at Bashir coldly: "What did you call me?"

"Little bastard! You're just a little bastard!" Bashir always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't tell, and screamed while gnashing his teeth, while racking his brains to make him suffer a big loss—preferably the kind People will never remember the great loss of the title of "Prince".He originally wanted Ace to be very embarrassed, and he went back arrogantly. In contrast, it goes without saying who is more princely.But the current situation seems to be a bit wrong...

——Why did Emerald, who was always timid in the past, suddenly become not afraid of him at all! ?

"Okay," Ace said blankly, "It seems that you have never heard of what happened last night, right? Then let me give you a long insight and tell you what it means to be covered by the sun god." You can't afford to mess with the man."

——Even if he has no interest in this otherworldly god, it is obviously good to pretend to be a tiger in the other's name.Ace thought happily, a dazzling light had already lit up in his hand.While Bashir was yelling in horror, this group of white light that was much brighter than the morning sun hit his face, causing his whole body to fall backward suddenly, splashing high water in the small river.

The teenagers who originally planned to come to watch how unlucky Ace was, were stunned by this sudden turn of events.They were not in yesterday's parade, but they just heard their elders say a few words about the miracle at that time, but at that time, many people didn't see how the light was emitted, so they were vague and ambiguous. people are also absent-minded.Ace glanced at them and asked coolly, "Are you still leaving?"

The teenagers immediately dispersed like frightened birds, and ran towards the camp.Ace also heard one of the children running and yelling in Egyptian, "Mom! Amon has appeared!"

…Who is God Amon?Ace was very confused.Last night, I heard them calling themselves the messengers of the "Sun God Ra". Why did they become some kind of God Amon today?

But this is not important, what is important is how to teach this guy a lesson?Ace walked up to Bashir and kicked his body.He is a water-type magister. Although he has learned some light-type spells based on the combat requirements, those spells that are often praying to the God of Light sound similar, so he couldn't remember a few in the end-who would have thought Did he end up with a particularly photophilic body?

Bashir lay on his back in the water, his eyes were tightly closed, and he didn't move at all.Bubbles are still coming out of his nostrils and mouth, and it looks like he's going to meet Death soon if Ace doesn't help.

Ace twitched his jaw, feeling that he was so noble and kind, and his conscience would be hard to bear if he didn't save others.

…Then, based on the conscience of the former water magister, he dragged Bashir ashore by his hair.As for how many years in advance the opponent's head will experience the fate of alopecia areata, this is not what he needs to consider.

The teenagers who ran away before quickly led people over. Ace nodded to the "noble" ladies with big arms and round waists, and returned to the sacrificial caravan calmly.

Paddy Amon had also woken up and was sitting at the small table eating breakfast.Seeing Ace, he also greeted him very kindly: "Good morning, Esmeralda, I hope you can have the same good mood today as yesterday."

Ace: "..." If you didn't call me by that name and didn't eat my extra apple.

"I think you went out without eating breakfast. It must be because you are not very hungry, so I solved some for you." The priest said kindly, his eyes glanced at his clothes, "Oh, you even washed the clothes You know... you don't need to do these things yourself, our temple has more than 200 dedicated attendants..."

"With all due respect, you have lost those attendants forever, Lord Priest." The Egyptian woman whom Ace met once in the morning opened the curtain and bowed in to tidy up. "And there probably won't be any in the future."

"Because I can't enjoy it in my lifetime, I should look back on the past more now." Paddy Amon said, and patted Ace on the shoulder: "However, for a child like you, it is enough to keep looking forward .Oh, I can see that you're going to get ahead."

Ace: "..." This kind of argument seems familiar...

By the time he finished his breakfast, the people had packed up their things, stamped out the embers of the bonfire, and drove the carriage to start off.Their next target was Provence, through which they attempted to enter Italy.There was a reason for this trip. After being expelled from Egypt, the Grand Duke tried to seek help from outside forces. At that time, they still wanted to make a last-ditch attempt to at least keep their rich life, so they went to the Holy See for help.They pretended to be conservative Christians, and they were actually received by the Pope. However, the "bad old man" (Grand Duke) allowed them to wander in the world for seven years, not allowing them to sleep on the bed, so as to atone for their sins. They added another one called "The Penitent".

The sheer power of the Holy See is enough to make people dread. Although the ancestors of the Egyptian Grand Dukes have a glorious history of defeating the Crusaders, this does not mean that they themselves can now strike stones with pebbles.And other countries or regimes are unwilling to accept these troubles for nothing, so they end up mixing with the gypsies.Let alone wandering in the world for seven years, it has been 14 years now.The divination of the sacrificial priests always said that this direction is not conducive to development, and it has only recently turned around, so the Grand Duke also plans to give it a try.

Although the chance of the Holy See accepting them is small, it is not impossible.If it succeeds, not to mention restoring the previous life, at least the basic necessities of life can be guaranteed; and if it fails, they will not suffer a loss. Anyway, they have survived the 14 years of wandering life, and they are afraid of living for a long time. ?

——There are already many young people in the team who see each other with the gypsies. If this continues, within 20 years, a new wandering team will appear again.

The time on the road is very boring, but Ace is full of interest in everything in this world.He doesn't know the spells of the light system, and the magic is still figuring out. He can't do much except meditate, so it's better to learn more about this world.

Card divination, palmistry and so on, although the results may sound the same, but it is interesting to be able to read the words and expressions, and promptly say the answer that the other party wants most.

The Grand Duchess paid close attention to Ace, and when she heard that he wanted to learn more about it, she agreed to find a teacher for him.Probably this behavior stimulated the old priest. After he took him to live with him, Padiamon, who had not moved at all, finally found Ace and stuffed a handful of grass blades of different lengths into his hands.
