Lucien held the ring and listened to Natasha's eloquent narration, and said with emotion: "The Grand Duchess is really a genius magician, and she won the highest honor in the field of elemental magic at the age of twenty-three. You shouldn't be a high-level magician at that time, right?" This is a spontaneous respect, but such a genius would abandon his magic path for love.
Natasha smiled peacefully, seeming to be caught up in memories of her mother: "Mother often said that everyone has their own strengths, you just have to see if you can find them out. After the Kingdom of Holm supported the Magic Council, many people in the royal family could not stimulate their blood. The descendants of strength have another choice. Many children who were ridiculed in knight training and combat practice later became outstanding magicians. My mother was originally weak in body and not outstanding in mental strength. Even medicine could not stimulate the blood. Power, but she left her own footprints on the road of magic, and she was only a junior magician when she won the 'Holm Crown' award."
"It's a pity that her body and soul have been corroded by various strange magical elements all the year round. In addition, her brother was hit by the Lord's call. After failing to advance to a high-level magician, she was never able to get up from the hospital bed."
"The Grand Duchess has been studying magic?" Lucien was a little surprised, but he thought that the church should turn a blind eye to such a special object.
Natasha wrinkled her nose and said with a smile: "If my father doesn't let her study magic, she might just take me and my brother back to Holm. What impressed me most about her when I was a child was that she and my father seemed unable to get in the way of others. Getting along is the gloomy magic laboratory and all kinds of strange potion smells. As for the church... "
"This ring should have a special meaning to you, Natasha..." Lucien looked at the ring.
Natasha also looked down at the ring in Lucien's hand, and smiled freely: "The ring is not important, what matters is my feelings for my mother. Could it be that without the ring, I won't miss her and think of her? Lucien, don't act like a girl. As a token related to magic, it is the most suitable. But it may also represent a certain amount of trouble. If you don't encounter too many problems, it is best not to take it Use it to find people from the 'Elemental Will' organization or Holm's Royal Magic Court. After you become a high-ranking magician, it will probably give you a good mentor."
Lucien shook his head and put the ring away with a smile after being told by Natasha: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness. Has the effect of the vampire's blood not disappeared yet? Shall I carry you back to Alto?"
"Disappeared, just temporarily suppressed the sequelae, but there is no problem returning to Alto, Lucien, you should leave quickly, I am worried that the church may come here at any time." Natasha waved her slender palm, "Your identity Don't worry, let me handle it."
"Can I continue to use the identity of Lucien Evans in the future?" Lucien planned to change his name when he arrived in the Kingdom of Holm, so as not to implicate John and the others. He was a little surprised when he heard Natasha's words.
Natasha laughed at Lucien fiercely: "Do you think the common name Lucien Evans is special? Alto has many names. As long as you don't take the initiative to mention that you are a famous musician when you arrive in Holm Home, who would think of you? As for the identity of the musician Lucien Evans, it is actually a good cover, maybe you can come in handy when you return to Storm Strait in the future. As for how to make 'him' exist for a long time, As long as you send me some new compositions once in a while, I'll take care of it."
"I will probably concentrate on studying and researching magic in the future, and there should be very little music." Lucien knew that a well-known identity on the surface would be of great use in the future, but he was still a little hesitant.
"It's good to keep one work for a few years. I believe in your musical talent. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it." Natasha said forget it, but her eyes were extremely bright.
Lucien replied vaguely: "I'll try my best." He himself planned to use music in his spare time to reconcile the exhaustion brought about by magic learning, and he might be able to slowly turn to originality.
After agreeing on how to send the letter to Natasha, Lucien put away the "Fireweaver's Bracelet", Aaron's second-level medium extraordinary weapon "Debilitating Dagger", cold iron dagger, etc., and took the damaged " Be vigilant" Long Jian bid farewell to Natasha: "I hope to see you again in the future, Your Royal Highness."
The heavy three-headed flail was not only difficult for Lucien to use, but also inconvenient to carry, so it was left to Natasha.
Natasha didn't have much parting emotion, she just smiled and said, "You can just call me Natasha. I will take good care of your friends for you."
"Thank you, Natasha." Lucien thanked him sincerely.
Turning around, just two steps away, Lucien heard Natasha's voice from behind: "Lucien..."
"What?" Lucien looked back at her strangely.
Natasha smiled softly: "Remember, life should not only be magic, but also music, friends and laughter."
"I will remember." Lucien smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing Lucien's back disappear into the black forest with a faint light, Natasha's smile narrowed, and she said seriously: "Come out, you've been listening for a long time."
"Your highness, your intuition is really sharp." In the dark midair, a transparent figure emerged without warning and slowly became clear. A white handkerchief, "Ms. Camille chased in the wrong direction and chased Wynn Knight and the others. Fortunately, I rushed over in time, otherwise how would I know from your conversation that the 'Professor' turned out to be an ordinary Magician. Hmph, how dare an ordinary magician dare to play and laugh at our night watchmen like this! He not only made me lose all my team members, but also became the 359th target of the purification sequence, what a shame! .”
His anger was palpable.
Natasha looked at him indifferently: "You didn't do anything just now. It seems that anger hasn't destroyed your reason. Maybe you have something else to say?"
Salvatore, who was floating in mid-air, looked condescendingly at the direction Lucien was leaving: "It can be seen that Your Royal Highness, you attach great importance to 'Mr. Professor', so I want a deal to help you hide the fact that the talented musician Lucien is evil Facts 'taught' by magicians."
His anger disappeared without a trace, and his whole body was shrouded in hot holy light. Although Natasha didn't wear the blood dragon armor, she couldn't fight in mid-air at all, and she had the advantage of being able to fly, but it's always good to be careful. What if Natasha suddenly threw the Thunder Sword out
"Your team members are really unfortunate." Natasha commented briefly.
Salvador smiled softly: "My belief in helping them avenge is very firm, but revenge can be postponed, and the opportunity to cooperate with you, the princess who is valued by the Pope, is hard to get back if you miss it. This is the realization of my The best way to pursue the ideal world, the reason why I gave up my status as an upright bishop and became a night watchman walking in the dark is because... "
"I don't want to hear about your painful past." Natasha stopped Salvador's long speech.
Salvador smiled without minding: "His Royal Highness is really direct and decisive. The deal I want is... you?!"
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned to see Natasha flying in front of him, and the "Long Sword of Thunder" slashed fiercely from bottom to top.
A void and terrifying crack appeared above the scorching holy light, cutting it and Salvador in half.
Natasha stood in the air, her silver-purple beautiful eyes staring coldly at the unbelievable Salvador: "I never accept threats."
El Salvador saw in a trance that his faith and soul were split and broken, and the last remaining consciousness turned into an ethereal voice: "Sky Knight?"
Natasha quietly watched Salvador disappear into a little bit of holy light, showing a sincere smile: "It's good that Aunt Camille is safe. But if I knew they would come so soon, Lucien and I wouldn't have to run so hard. Just hang around for a while."
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Camille in a long black dress flew over from the other side of the Black Forest, sandwiching the unconscious Wynn and Yakasha, her dull seriousness became gentle and kind: "I can use this danger to straighten out Bloodline, fusion of will, Natasha, you are worthy of being a genius knight."
"This is thanks to the teaching of the teacher and Aunt Camille." Natasha originally wanted to respond with a smile, but when Camille's words brought back memories of the past, her expression became a little sentimental.
The two arrived at Alto when the sun was rising. After Natasha comforted the worried and angry Grand Duke, she went directly to the Golden Cathedral.
In a confessional room, Natasha found Sard who was praying quietly.
"Your Excellency, Cardinal Sard, I want to confess one thing before the Lord." Natasha is indeed a religious believer.
Sard opened his increasingly cloudy eyes: "What is it?"
Natasha drew a cross on her chest: "I killed Mr. Salvatore, the guard in the darkness of the Lord."
"You're using honesty, not repentance?" Sard didn't show any emotion even after hearing that a fifth-level Night Watch captain was killed.
Natasha nodded solemnly: "Yes, I don't regret it. But I know this is a very serious mistake. My knight's creed does not allow me to hide it, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
"Why did you kill him?" Sard continued to ask.
Natasha was silent and did not answer.
Sard stood up. Compared with yesterday, he seemed to be more than ten years old: "I will report to the Pope, and he will punish you. Natasha, please wait patiently for an hour."
After Sard left, hot red blood vessels protruded from Natasha's hands and face, distorting her beautiful face and making her feel extremely painful, but Natasha gritted her teeth and kept doing this. Kneeling in front of the cross, he didn't groan in pain.

In the simple and bright study room, a white-haired and kind old man wearing an ordinary pastor's robe whispered to the cardinal in front of him: "The Lord will forgive everyone who repents. Natasha can be honest about her mistakes, and she has advanced to the next level. Knight, don’t need to be punished too harshly, let her go to the lowest level of Alto Monastery to train as an ascetic monk for three years.”
"As you order, Your Holiness the Pope." The cardinal slowly exited the room.
The kind old man picked up a stack of manuscripts that had been put down before, and some inexplicable things were recorded on it: "The target person does not seem to reject my speech."... "There are often times when he is emotionally confused..."...
"Maybe he's shaken." …

Following the method Natasha taught to prevent tracking, Lucien ran back towards the town of Massawa in the black forest, but the distance between the two places was really far away, and he didn't return to the town until after nine o'clock on a sunny day. However, Lucien didn't go directly into the hotel room. Instead, he burned the black robe in a hidden place, and then walked towards the main entrance of the hotel wearing a black shirt with a wide neckline.
In the chaotic hotel lobby, Lucien didn't find Joyce and other mercenaries and coachman, so he asked the hotel owner, "I want to know where my mercenary Joyce went? I just went outside early in the morning. Can't find them when you come back from a walk?"
It was the boss who opened the door for Lucien himself last night, so he naturally recognized him, and replied with a little embarrassment and amused: "A lot of adventurers flooded into the town in the morning, spreading panic to everyone, making little The town was in chaos. Joyce and the others did not find you, the distinguished guest, in the room, and they all agreed that you were kidnapped by lowly and treacherous adventurers, so they all fled away fearing responsibility."
Lucien held back his smile: "It's really bad news. I had to hire mercenaries and carriages again. But it was my negligence. I forgot to tell them. Boss, please inform the Adventurer's Guild and say it was me. The contract was released early so they would not become fugitives."
"You are such a kind gentleman." The boss took the pen and paper and praised.
After leaving his signature and seal on the written document, Lucien went back to his room and changed his clothes, ready to start his own trip.
