Jasmine said calmly, "I thought you would be very repulsive to that boy."
Luciemia asked blankly, "Why would Sister Jasmine say that?"
Jasmine replied, "Because he always lectures you in public. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Luciemia seemed a little shy and replied, "Well, actually there is none... Licinius is obviously very gentle."
Fran was stunned.
She stepped back, away from the room, until her body was against the wall of the corridor.
Licinius…
Ten months have passed, and I heard this name again in other people's conversations. That was once my most cherished partner and close teammate. They had agreed to form an adventurer team together to explore the dangerous and mysterious forbidden land, to go to the other side of the sea, and never be separated.
But all this was shattered nine years ago.
Because Li Xini has no talent for magic.
Even after studying alchemy for a year, he still failed the assessment of the Truth Society.
Instead, it was his sister who joined the Society of Truth as the top apprentice.
You have to know that a giant organization like the Truth Society cannot be joined just because you have power and influence.
It requires that you have sufficient talent and attainments in alchemy.
Later, with the financial support of Mrs. Valerius, Irena was admitted to Trinity College, and Fran herself joined the Knights of the Holy Light as she wished and achieved success.
But she will never forget the day their dream came true.
Licinius was expelled from the royal capital by the family of Valerius and assigned to the border.
When she first learned the news, Irena was at the critical moment of the assessment. Relying on her excellent magical talent, she defeated 99% of her opponents in the same period, and only the final was left.
Fran herself is also in the palace, about to take the oath to become a member of the Knights of Holy Light.
They didn't go.
It was not until later that Novia told them the truth.
The reason why Fran and Irena were able to pursue their dreams was because of the assets of Licinius and Norn. Otherwise, they, who were born as commoners, would not be able to compete with the aristocratic geniuses of the same period.
remorse…
Even if you cast a mountain of iron, you can't redeem the regret.
Compared to Norn's loyalty, the two of them felt like bitches.
Unforgivable...
"Wait! Since Licinius is here, were those criminals beaten by Norn?"
Fran murmured, "It seems that Licinius has started a new life. It turns out that even if he doesn't become an alchemist, he can still use his talents. Hmm, I envy Norn..."
She suddenly realized, "I wonder if Novia has met him? Well, the relationship between the two of them is not very good. No, I have to tell Irena about this!"

In the secret passage deep underground, candlelight flickered.
This is a secret base of the Night Watch, located fifty meters underground, away from sunlight.
"This time, we have captured the members of Dawn and have done a great deed in front of His Majesty. Don't say anything later. Do you hear me? Just look at me taking the credit." Li Xini said with his head down.
After a fierce battle, he went home to wash off the blood and changed into new clothes before coming here. It took him a long time to go back and forth. After all, the person he wanted to see was His Majesty, so he couldn't come here with a disheveled appearance.
Although his human bomb tactics are very useful, they also have obvious shortcomings.
It consumes more clay and clothes.
Then again, ever since he got the magic book, he has had a smell on him most of the time.
Or it smells like a bathroom.
Otherwise, you'll smell of blood.
"Oh, I see."
Norn said calmly: "Master, are you planning to negotiate terms with His Majesty?"
Li Xini thought to himself that she is worthy of being my wife. I can tell what position she is in just by patting her butt.
"yes… "
He smiled and said, "After all, you have done a great deed. I want to take this opportunity to check your family's affairs..."
Norn paused and looked at him expressionlessly.
"Why? Are you surprised?"
Li Xini reached out and rubbed her platinum hair, raised his eyebrows and said, "This young master's words are as good as gold. Do you remember that night more than ten years ago? I went to your house to play with you as usual, but I saw you squatting at the door crying. There was a fire burning in the house, but you refused to leave."
Noren pursed his lips, and his thoughts suddenly drifted to the distant past.
It was a cold winter, but a blazing fire was burning in the snow.
The mansion collapsed in flames, devilish shadows raged in the firelight, and people kept falling to the ground.
The smell of blood and fire was so strong that she fell to the ground at the gate of the courtyard and burst into tears.
"Remember… "
Norn's eyes flickered, and he said softly, "You said that if I followed you, you would bring me back to find my family, and if they were all dead, you would help me avenge them."
Later, the young man took her hand and came to the Valerius family.
Only then did she realize that the boy was not favored at home.
Neither his family nor his servants were kind to him.
The reason why the Valerius family allowed the boy to take her home was because they were thinking about her family's inheritance.
But in fact, the Valerius family did not provide them with any help.
But the young man was very resourceful. He always liked to eavesdrop on the conversations of his family, write down the secrets that only nobles and big shots knew in a small notebook, and then take the notebook outside to exchange for money.
Then use the money to exchange items with others, and get more money as if by magic.
That winter, the boy held her hand and went to the Chamber of Commerce in a childish voice to exchange alchemical materials for her to learn magic. He then used the few remaining copper coins to buy a baked sweet potato and gave her most of it.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter passed one after another. Life was hard, but I was not so lonely anymore.
"Although there has been no progress over the years, I have always remembered it."
Licinius licked his lips and smiled grimly: "Do you know why I joined the Night's Watch? The most important reason is that the Night's Watch was once the largest intelligence department in the empire. They could even access the top-secret archives of the Bureau of Control at will... This is what I want."
"Of course, I am now the captain of the Night's Watch in name only, but I don't have the real power yet."
He turned around and walked forward slowly: "After this time, His Majesty should recognize my ability."
Suddenly, he felt the corner of his clothes being pulled.
Noren quickened his pace to catch up, and her soft little hand held one of his fingers and shook it.
Just like when I was a kid.
"Why, are you touched?" Li Xini asked with a smile.
Noren lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Xini fell into deep thought, and then said seriously: "According to the normal plot, my Norn should have been moved and wanted to sacrifice himself now, right? I have a suggestion. Before going to bed tonight, you can consider wearing cat ears and black stockings. In this way, I will think you are more sincere..."
Norn raised his head and said expressionlessly, "Oh, you are so old-fashioned. You insisted on taking me home. Could it be that you were attracted by my beauty and wanted to raise me as your wife since childhood?"
Licinius was horrified: "Noren, when did you become smart?"
Noren snorted.
But the little hand holding his fingers tightened even more.
Chapter 39: Your Majesty will never lose
As soon as Li Cinni walked into the hall of the underground base, he saw many guards wearing steel masks. Although he couldn't see their specific appearance, he knew that these were residents living in the city of Roma.
Even most people have met him in daily life.
When these people appear as night watchmen, they reveal their sharp temperament, tenacity and fierceness.
"team leader!"
The night watchmen saluted.
This was the first time that Licinius experienced the treatment of being an official, and he immediately felt very satisfied.
Although these people are only non-staff members of the Night Watch and not formal members of the organization, they have obviously received professional training and their strength is at least between the first and second levels.
But when he looked at the group of people carefully, he found that they were all trembling.
"Master, I just heard their conversation. They said that the new captain is an extremely terrifying black magic sorcerer, so don't offend your boss if you want to offend anyone else, otherwise you will be persecuted by black magic and turn into a monster covered with red hair." Nollen said lightly.
Licinius's eye twitched. This black magic had a really bad reputation.
Of course, it is also possible that this group of people were frightened by the members of Dawn using black magic in the past.
The next moment, he heard a heart-wrenching cry.
"I, Liz Bettas, am a proud dark elf. Even if I am captured by you, I will never surrender to you, no matter if I am trained to be invincible or sold to the slave market!"
Liz yelled, "Gu, kill me if you dare!"
Snapped!
There was a sharp crack of a whip.
Then there was the sound of a girl screaming.
Well, look at Manli.
Li Xini nodded slightly. This was indeed the plot he wanted.
At the door of the interrogation room, a man in a windbreaker and wearing a steel mask was smoking a cigarette out of boredom. When he saw the man and woman walking side by side not far away, he immediately straightened his body and said, "Hayden Bruns, meet the captain!"
Li Xini was stunned: "So you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also a night watchman."
Hayden saluted and said, "Captain, I have been a member of the Night's Watch for three years. After the last team was defeated, I came to Roma City, hiding my identity and waiting for deployment."
Licinius smiled and said, "Were they defeated by the dawn?"
Hayden sighed and said faintly, "Yes, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he tried to rebuild the Night's Watch at least four times, but the previous candidate captains were incompetent and were all killed by members of the Dawn. We have always felt unwilling and lonely. Until you came..."
He became excited: "This is the first time we have won in our battles with Dawn!"
It is obvious that Licinius, the new captain, has initially won the recognition of the Night Watchmen.
Compared with the previous few useless candidates, he will appear to be particularly capable.
Of course, all this is thanks to the Hundred-Eyed Evil God.
"Speaking of which, Captain, how did you do it?"
Hayden asked curiously, "We always thought that the other party's black magic was very powerful and could predict our actions. Why were you able to counter them this time?"
Li Xini thought for a moment and shrugged: "They are indeed very strong, but it depends on who they are compared with."
Hayden swallowed his saliva: "Compared to you?"
"Rubbish." Li Xini said toughly.
Anyway, he can get the Hundred-Eyed Evil God for free. All fortune-tellers are worse than dogs in front of him.
Hayden became even more excited. He had seen from the last kidnapping case that this boy was no ordinary person.
Unexpectedly, he is actually a hidden big boss.
Li Xini listened to the whipping in the interrogation room and asked, "Is Tria in there?"
Hayden turned serious and reported, "Yes, we have completed three interrogations. That woman is a bit cunning, and her confession is different every time. But we have extracted some useful information through hypnosis magic and Tria's seven sins, and have reported it to His Majesty."
He paused and said, "Your Majesty is waiting for you in the room."
Wait for me in the room. Are you done washing
Licinius continued to talk nonsense in his heart, and then asked: "Do you want me to go in by myself, or?"
