"Duke! Duke! See me? It's me, it's me!"
Amidst the puzzled gazes of Flora and Shalltear behind him, as well as Bellatrix's watching eyes, Langdon slowly made a question mark.
So just say, who are you!Even if you see me!Still not impressed at all! ! !

24. The Promised Knight (3k)
Originally, Langdon thought that it might be someone he knew, but he didn't know the name of the person, but when he saw the real person, he realized that he had no impression at all.
And it doesn't look at the occasion at all, what kind of friendship is there at this time!
Didn't you see that those magicians around you looked down on you because of your age, and now they look at you even more wrongly? !
Langdon controlled the urge to touch his forehead, pretended that he hadn't heard anything, and signaled the head of palace affairs with meaningful eyes not to care about the details there, and follow the procedure.
The first is self-introduction.
There is no doubt that they are all graduates of the Imperial Academy of Magic, monopoly is great - but this kind of monopoly may have problems after the demons invade.
After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. When the hometown will be killed by the demons at any time, no one can feel at ease to go all the way to the imperial capital to go to school. At that time, "illegal" private lessons will spring up like mushrooms.
Magicians are almost all students who graduated from the fourth and fifth grades. The assessment methods of the magic swordsman are different from them, but when the girl named Bridget Jones reported her previous work experience in the Royal Knights, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Get more anxious.
There is no way, although many orthodox magicians actually discriminate against the magic swordsman, because they can't go further in the field of knowledge and take the edge of the sword-probably similar to the superiority of a schoolmaster looking at a fool-but the truth In terms of strength, it doesn't necessarily mean which side is stronger. After all, no matter how good the theory is, it will be useless if the practice is not good.
In particular, the graduation process for magicians is relatively slow. Seeing that she just graduated and came to find a job at such a young age, this girl has already worked in the Royal Knights at a young age, and now she is still competing with her for a position, so she is inevitably a little anxious.
Fortunately, mages are much better than magic swordsmen in terms of attack or defense range and magic diversity, so they will not really lose their mentality.
After listening to everyone's self-introduction, Langdon asked confusedly: "Well... Actually, the treatment of the Royal Knights is quite good. Why did you leave the Royal Knights?"
If she doesn't give some plausible reasons, Bridget will be so suspicious that it will be perfunctory...
After all, if you want to deceive people, at least spend some time making up a logical lie, right?This is not willing, how contemptuous of people.
As a result, Bridget asked him in confusion: "Hey? Why? Because I promised you that I would come and be a knight for you?"
Langdon: "...???"
At this moment, except for Bellatrix who couldn't help covering her face with a fan after seeing Langdon's bewildered expression, everyone else looked straight at Langdon.
Those who didn't know, such as Flora and Shalltear, were just a little confused and sore in their hearts.
Flora thought to herself, she never thought that Langdon had ever made an appointment with someone else... He really hadn't heard of it at all, and it was really good to keep it a secret, obviously he would tell her how he quarreled with Helena, but he didn't say anything about it. I didn't mention this... Is it because the other party has something special?
Shalltear felt a little tight in her chest.
...Among the interviewees, is there anyone Langdon knows?Even though she was an assistant officer, she didn't know anything, and she didn't even mention a word to her... Did Langdon not trust her?
Even the palace chief who knew about it couldn't help but look at Langdon with subtle eyes again and again.
Duke!Look at her attitude!You think about it again!Don't you really know her? !No matter how you look at it, you should be very familiar! ! !
Only Lei Shidong admired him very much.
As expected of uncle!Unlike him, who can't catch up with girls, he can hook up with beautiful girls casually—although he might be the devil, but don't pay attention to the details!
If this is the devil king, quickly attack the opponent, and you will make a lot of money, uncle!It’s not a loss if you’re not a devil king!up!
While the eyes of the other applicants except the client were full of doubts about "whether there is something shady about this interview", the pen in Langdon's hand snapped off with a snap.
He took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I don't remember this—"
"Really?" Bridget was shocked. "But, you spent a long time trying to persuade me not to be obsessed with magic. That's why I changed my job as a magic swordsman...you don't remember it at all?"
Langdon froze for a moment.
Huh?Having said that, it seems that he has a faint impression...
Persuasion to change jobs... Persuasion to change jobs...
……what!
He remembered!
Probably because Langdon's expression changed too obviously, Bridget immediately showed a joyful expression: "You finally remembered?"
"Hmm..." Langdon was a little embarrassed, but also a little happy, "It happened so long ago, I didn't expect you to remember it."
It's like once persuading people to take the public examination instead of the postgraduate entrance examination, and then found that some people really wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination instead of taking the public examination... because the situation is so common around that it is difficult to make any associations with keywords.
Even if the other party has shown that he knows himself, but...
It's been two years!
It all happened when he first entered school! ! !So many things have happened in the past two years, and he even recovered the memory of his previous life. There is too much information, how could he remember it immediately! ! !
And to be honest, to Langdon, it was a trivial matter, and it was normal even if he couldn't remember it all the time.
It happened on a very ordinary day two years ago.
After finishing a class, Langdon wanted to clear his mind, so he took a casual walk around the school.
Then he heard the girl's cry.
He whimpered and seemed very aggrieved.
Langdon hadn't recovered his memory at that time, and he hadn't been framed by Kane. He was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young master with a lively and innocent personality.
The point is, he also likes to help others, so after hearing the cry, he naturally walked towards the direction of the sound, intending to see if he needed help.
To be honest, when he found someone, Langdon was a little hesitant, because he was not sure if the other party would be willing to meet someone else.
The man was wearing a gray cloak, and the hat was pulled up. The hair that fell from the brim of the hat seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time. It was dry and knotted, and the color was dull because it was hiding in the shadow under the tree.
She hugged her knees, buried her head in her arms, and sobbed, with some booklets scattered around her.
Langdon was still a long way away, but one or two books had already landed at his feet, as if someone had vented his anger and thrown them out.
He picked it up and flipped through it, and found that it should be a magic theory homework.
Although Langdon just entered school not long ago, the emperor's monopoly of the magic education industry has already made the nobles very dissatisfied. It is naturally impossible for the emperor to confiscate all magic-related things from the nobles. Therefore, nobles with a little background actually have a lot of information at home. Self-study of some basic theories is acquiesced.
Moreover, the Imperial School of Magic has indeed concentrated a lot of educational resources, which is far better than self-study, and it is also safer. After all, magic is something that can kill people if something goes wrong.
Not to mention the nobles, even the students of the Imperial School of Magic wanted to teach their children some basic theories, but no one stopped them. It’s just that it’s illegal to use magic without a diploma. Entering the school is actually a process of becoming a regular.
In short, although the school has not taught it yet, Langdon can actually roughly understand what is wrong with the homework of this presumably second-year schoolgirl.
It's miserable. To put it bluntly, it's almost time to give up the theory of magic, because the way of solving the problem has clearly exposed the flaws of this senior.
Especially in the end, she was so crazy that she scratched a whole page, obviously driven crazy by her homework... This is probably why she was crying here.
Probably sensing someone approaching, the senior sister quieted down her crying, sniffled, raised her head slightly from between her arms, and looked at Langdon with teary eyes.
Langdon walked over and returned the booklet he picked up to her: "...well, I heard it will rain today, so it's better not to stay here for too long."
The senior sister said in a muffled voice, "Thank you...sorry, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Langdon put down the booklet, thinking that it would be better not to say anything at this time, and planned to turn around and leave.
As a result, after the senior sister stopped crying, she complained to him very familiarly: "I am really going to be driven crazy by magic theory, why do I have to learn this kind of thing? Before there was no school, magicians didn't take these exams." Obviously had a good time!"
Langdon was a little surprised.
Seeing her cry like that before, he thought she would be an introverted and shy person, but he didn't expect to be so straightforward and familiar. Generally speaking, this kind of person has a big heart... Sure enough, he suddenly collapsed due to homework .
However, since the other party started the topic, Langdon naturally continued: "Therefore, there were many cases of magic backlash for magicians in the past. If you don't lay a good foundation, becoming a magician is actually very dangerous... I read You are probably in too much of a hurry for your homework, for things like theory, learn slowly—"
The senior sister said quietly: "I have been in the second grade for a year."
Langdon: "..."
"I just don't understand this at all, and I get a headache when I see it. Maybe I'm a waste... Actually, I can accept being a waste, but I can't graduate from the second grade. If I only return to my hometown at the level of the first grade, I feel very sorry and look forward to it." family."
Langdon didn't expect the other party to belittle himself so much, so he quickly comforted him: "Don't say that, maybe you are just not suitable to be a magician, your talent may lie elsewhere."
But the first-year graduation level is indeed too low. Apart from having magical talents and maybe some basic knowledge, they are no different from ordinary people.
The senior sister's train of thought has completely given up on treatment: "Is it my talent... My talent is probably sewing clothes... Maybe I shouldn't come to the imperial capital in the first place, I will inherit the tailor at home and make it..."
Langdon was ashamed and tried to explain: "It's not possible. Apart from magic theory, how are you doing in other courses? That's right."
Speaking of this, he was suddenly blessed: "In this kind of windless weather, you were able to throw the notebook so far just now. Isn't it very strong?"
[ps: Add updates at night, ask for tickets~]
25. Sister Gougou (3k)
Langdon also kind of forgot how he persuaded her in the middle. He just remembered that the senior sister admitted hesitantly. After the martial arts teacher once praised her for her talent, Langdon kept praising her in this direction. Try to increase her confidence, or relieve her concerns.
He also said in passing, "It's really not possible, you can change to a magic swordsman."
Because the weather was not good and it was going to rain, Langdon also helped the senior sister put away the books and notebooks that had been thrown on the floor, but it was not easy to send people to the dormitory, so he said goodbye halfway.
Oh, by the way, he remembered that before he left, he said jokingly: "Since you are from the Duchy of Stuart, if you can become a magic swordsman, then I will become the Duke of Stuart in the future." , you just come and be a knight for me."
——Well, he really invited it on his own initiative.
There was no way, the senior might not have taken good care of her homework and had a nervous breakdown. She probably knew how embarrassed she was, so she just put on a cloak. Langdon didn't see what the senior looked like at all.
And thinking about it carefully, it seems that the names were not exchanged at all, and the conversation went on miraculously and normally... At the end, when I was joking, I mentioned that I would become the Duke of Stuart in the future, otherwise this matter probably would not have followed up .
Although it was just a joke at the time, since the senior took it seriously and even left the Royal Knights to join him, Langdon naturally couldn't continue to take it as a joke.
Even Langdon didn't realize how soft his expression was at the moment.
He just said self-consciously and fairly: "Since I promised... Well, I also believe in the eyes of the head of the Royal Knights. After all, I still mainly want to recruit magicians, so you don't participate in the interview. Let's discuss it in detail later." This is your situation."
The expressions of the other magicians immediately improved a lot.
Because Langdon said in the recruitment that only two magicians would be admitted, they were worried that this magic swordsman would also compete with them for a spot... Since it is not a track, it will be fine.
As for why Langdon didn't explain before... Didn't he think that Bridget had ulterior motives, so he wanted to test it out, and he didn't even think about helping others!
Now that I found out that I misunderstood others, of course I must quickly remedy it.
Bridget happily escaped from the team of magicians, instead of detouring with the attendants, she jumped onto the high platform directly.
Langdon: "...Don't do that next time, and be careful not to be regarded as an assassin."
Bridget seemed to have just realized it, and scratched her orange-red hair embarrassingly: "Hahaha, the leader also said that to me, and I forgot it when I was happy, I will pay attention next time, uh, Your Excellency the Duke .”
Langdon couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth again.
It's been two years since this senior, and she's still such an idiot.
Flora clasped her hands in front of her chest as if praying, and looked at this scene with a pale face on her delicate and lovely face.
Langdon smiled.
Such a gentle smile, as if there were twinkling stars in his eyes, was given to the magic swordsman who seemed to have only seen it once, and even Langdon almost forgot.
Obviously until half a year ago, she could still see this smile often...
But now, Langdon would no longer show that expression to her.
She didn't cherish it when she had it, and Flora didn't realize how precious and sincere friendship it was until she lost it.
It's not because of her status as a saint, nor because of her beautiful appearance, but because she grew up together and was treated as a younger sister, so she is extremely pampered and doted on.
Apart from his mother, Langdon was probably the only one in this world who saw not the "Saint" but "Flora".
...but she screwed up.
The feelings that should be cherished and cherished, but because they lasted too long, she took them for granted and thought they would never disappear.
But just because what Langdon sees is "Flora" instead of "Saint", once she no longer fits the "Flora" in Langdon's mind, Langdon will not tolerate her again.
Just like when she appeared in front of Langdon today, although Langdon didn't ignore her as usual, his attitude of nodding at her calmly, as if she was no different from the people next to her, made her even more sad.
Langdon, smile at me.
Use the pampering I used to give you when I wore a wreath, or the joy when I tasted my new dishes, or the gentleness that comforted me when I was treated.
... just smile at me again.
Langdon didn't pay attention to what the onlookers were thinking. He focused on watching the fight between the magicians, and consulted the head of the palace from time to time. The two discussed very seriously.
