[Notre Dame de Paris] Papal Way

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.Ace made eye contact with Claude, who was holding his wine glass stiffly and stopped a few steps away.The inexplicable emotion seemed to be born suddenly, and quickly turned into fuel for the flame.

The Eye of Horus began to draw magic power spontaneously again.Ace roughly cut off the supply of magic power, his eyes were still fixed on Claude, and he asked, "Why do you say that?"

"You look at him differently." Jeanne muttered, stunned by Ace's sudden aura, "Priest Frollo...is different from us."

Ace's eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to roll up a storm, and his voice became low: "Yes, it is indeed different."

In his deep gaze, Claude finally moved.He took a step back, turned around suddenly, and left neatly.

Ace: "..." At this time, shouldn't he throw the wine glass with a moved and guilty look, and then rush forward to confess his feelings! ?Claude is so arrogant! ! !

He retracted his gaze sullenly, lowered his head and asked, "Are you familiar with Claude?"

Jeanne thought for a while before realizing that Claude was the name of Priest Frollo, she nodded and said, "Yes, Priest Frollo is a good man. Sometimes he would visit me quietly and teach me to read. I recite When he finished the Bible, he also gave me a beautiful cross."

... Finish memorizing the Bible?Ace couldn't help being surprised.It is an indisputable fact that Jean Na's intelligence level is very low, but the "Bible" has 300 million words, how can Jean Na memorize it?

After restraining the aura on her body, Jeanna was not so afraid of Ace anymore.She was afraid that Ace would not believe her own words like others, so she hurriedly said, "If you don't mind, I can recite it to you..." Then she began to recite from "Genesis".

Her eyes are very clear, she recites very fluently, speaks very fast without mispronouncing a syllable, and can recite the original sentences in Latin without thinking.Ace's level of mental power is very high. If he deliberately remembers something, it can almost be said that he has a photographic memory.After comparing it with his own memory, he was surprised to find that Jeanne seemed to be able to recite the entire Bible!

He randomly checked a few very partial passages, and Jeanne recited them all fluently.It's just that she can only recite, but can't understand the meaning of those sentences.Even so, it is surprising enough.

Ace couldn't help but put his hand on Rangna's forehead, and the mental power penetrated through the skin and bones, and entered Rangna's sea of ​​consciousness.Compared with other ordinary people, the size of Jeanna's Sea of ​​Consciousness is nothing special, but as soon as she entered, Ace couldn't help but let out a small gasp in surprise, unbelievable what he saw.

——Light magic power, purely condensed to the point where it is almost condensed into spar!

Regardless of why these magical powers appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness, is it true that Jeanna actually has the same light system physique as the emerald?Ace frowned, and the magic power quietly entered Jeanna's body from the contact of the skin.However, no matter how I checked, there was nothing special about Jeanna's physique, the composition of the elements was very balanced, and she didn't show any kindness to his light power.

Does magic come from the soul or from the blood?No real conclusion has been reached on this point for thousands of years.However, no matter what the possibility is, as long as it is a person with magical power, its power must be stored in the limbs and bones along with the flow of power.Magicians purify magic power through meditation songs, and monsters increase magic power through upgrading the magic core, the reason is similar.

However, Jeanna's physique obviously does not have any magical potential, but her sea of ​​consciousness condenses a powerful magic power that is so pure that it is almost comparable to high-level monsters!These magical powers that came from nowhere were blocked in her sea of ​​consciousness, oppressing her spiritual power that was originally purer than ordinary people, making it difficult for her to think...

Perhaps it is precisely because of these amazing magical powers that Jeanna's intelligence is judged to be very weak.Originally, except for the deformed limbs, her intelligence is not inferior to anyone else!

Ace's mood was very complicated for a while, and he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.As a child of Louis XI, Emerald's physique is very normal, and there is nothing special about the sea of ​​consciousness; Jeanne should have had the same or even more perfect photophilic physique as Emerald, but she did not know why. All the magical potential has been stripped and hidden into the sea of ​​consciousness...

If this kind of method is not done by the gods, it can only be because of an accident when the mother was pregnant.But in this world where magic doesn't exist, what kind of accident can happen to strip away the powerful talents that a person should have?

...Claude must know something.Ace's eyes darkened gradually.If she can return to the continent of Maris, with the help of those magic sticks from the Holy See of Light, maybe Jeanna can regain her talent; however, in this desolate world, I want those magic powers to no longer affect Jeanna's spirit. power, and can only be taken out in some way...

It seems that if there is a chance, I still have to take Rangna to meet the priest.Ace thought to himself.The ancient Egyptians were very proficient in the study of the soul, coupled with the cooperation of the Eye of Horus, it should be possible to extract the innate magic power crystal that oppressed her spiritual power without harming Jeanna.

And maybe because of the attraction of blood, Jeanna realized that the magic power in the sea and Ace's magic power are very compatible. Almost at the same time that Ace's magic power was withdrawn, part of the magic power followed, and instantly merged with Ace's own magic power. One.

Jeanna couldn't help showing a relaxed and joyful look on her face: "This is... what?"

"What are you doing!?" Anna's voice sounded hauntingly again.

Ace was calculating and comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various methods, and his hand was still on Jeanna's forehead.Anna's voice interrupted his thoughts, and Ace couldn't help frowning, lowered his arms and turned around.

This time she didn't come alone, she also brought Prince Charlie with her.Anna didn't know what she had misunderstood, with an angry look on her face, but Charlie's eyes were full of curiosity, and he looked at Ace with bright green eyes, with a happy smile on his face.

Jeanna also saw them, and habitually took a step back: "Anna, check...Charlie."

Charlie didn't see his sister very often, but every time they met, Jeanne acted very afraid of him, and it was really rare to dare to look directly at him like this.However, if you think about it, you can understand the reason for Jeanna's change.The smile on Charlie's face widened, adding a touch of charm to his almost ugly features.

"Good evening, Jeanne, Your Excellency the Duke of Orleans." He greeted with a smile, and looked at Ace curiously, "I've heard of your name... May I call you Ace?"

If nothing else, Charles was the next monarch of France, and it was good to befriend a king.Ace nodded, also showing a friendly smile: "Of course."

"You can also call me Charlie." Charlie looked happier and said in a friendly manner.Anna frowned, and said coldly: "You seem to be too polite to him, Charlie..."

"I'm only polite to people I think need to be polite." Charlie retorted, with a flash of displeasure.And Anna also noticed his mood, because she didn't want to conflict with him for the time being, she had to change the subject: "... What secrets were you exchanging with Jeanne just now, Your Excellency the Duke of Orleans?"

Ace glanced at her with a half-smile, and didn't answer. Instead, he said to Charlie, "Excuse me, but you came with Vicar Frollo, so do you know what his purpose is?"

No one paid attention to her words, and Anna's face turned blue.It was the first time she met such an annoying person.She turned the cannon and asked, "Jeanne, can you tell me what the Duke of Orleans did to you just now?"

It took Jeanne a while to remember who the Duke of Orleans was, and she seriously retorted: "It's not the Duke of Orleans, it's a brother."

Anna asked angrily in a low voice: "You actually regard him as your brother? You regard this illegitimate child as your brother?"

"Keep your voice down, Ana," Charlie said unhappily, "Ace is indeed our brother—don't you see those eyes?"

Anna's face became even uglier, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze out a smile again.Of course she knew that Ace was the son of Louis XI, even the first time she saw him - because those damn green eyes were similar to that damn temperament!

After all, she is only a princess, and has no right of inheritance in a country like France; and Charles is a crown prince who has been carefully raised since childhood, and will definitely become the king of France in the future.Although Louis XI intended to make Anna regent, who knows when Louis XI will die?If Charlie turns 14 by then, even if she had any power in her hands, she will be forced to hand it over to her younger brother under the supervision of others!

Anna was once called "the least stupid woman in France" by her father, and of course she has ambitions that match her intelligence.She didn't want to have a bad relationship with Charlie, so she had to obey his willfulness and was forced to make a choice.But after all, she was unwilling, and Anna still couldn't help but said: "Didn't you come to see these shoes? They are worn on Jeanna's feet. Let her show you."

Jeanne lifted the hem of her skirt.Charlie observed the pair of shoes carefully for a while, and exclaimed: "It is really amazing that it can increase a person's height. I heard that foreigners invented a kind of riding boots, which also have such high heels, which are very convenient when riding a horse."

Anna said nonchalantly: "But some people just say that high heels are for women."

Ace: "... I admit that I am a bit arbitrary when I say that, but whether it is worn by a man or a woman, I will never wear this kind of shoes."

Anna said angrily: "This is how you treat the king?"

Ace shrugged gracefully, and said calmly, "I just don't want to bend over and dance."

Anna and Charlie stared at him with the same hatred: "..."

The reasons are all found out. In order not to wear high heels, Ace can think of more excuses.Seeing this, Anna's inexplicable hostility towards him finally began to dissipate.She reluctantly accepted Ace and began to show her affection: "Charlie, didn't you say you wanted to dance with Jeanne?"

Charlie: "..." Jeanna, who was wearing high heels, was at least a head taller than him. Sister, are you sure you're not cheating on me? ?

Ace sighed silently, and bowed slightly knowingly: "May I have the honor to invite you to dance, Madame de Beauge?"

Anna put her hand in his with satisfaction: "Very happy."
