"What is there to say? There is a saying in the Chinese language I taught you: The friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water."
Li Xini thought of the girl and said with emotion: "After all, we are not of the same kind."
He has always been a very proud person at heart and never needs sympathy.
Since Irena and Fran made their choice in the first place, the future will be a bright future for them, each going their own way.
As for the vows made in childhood, adults don’t care about them at all.
"oh… "
Norn changed the subject: "Master, are you healed?"
"Shh!"
Li Xini wore a devil mask and held a golden scepter in his hand. He said righteously, "My lady, please don't try to get close to me! Who is your young master? Please call me Captain!"
Norn didn't bother to pay attention to him. He carefully moved closer to his leg and poked it with his little hand.
no problem…
Then I brought a small stool over and stood on it, then stood on tiptoe to stare at the forehead carefully, and there was nothing wrong.
"I've told you before, I'll be fine. No one in this world can hurt me, and no one can kill me. Even though I know it's illogical, you have to believe it."
Licinius said impatiently: "Think carefully, who else can you trust besides me?"
Noren said "oh" expressionlessly.
"Let's start now. We have to keep a safe distance and pretend not to know each other. Although you are now a member of the Night's Watch, when I appear as the captain of the Night's Watch, you have to help deal with my acquaintances." Li Xini instructed.
Noren nodded: "I understand..."
This girl was always easy to deal with. She went straight to the camp and found a place to sit and daydream.
She doesn't know how to do anything else anyway.
If she had been asked to rescue the injured, who knows, they might still be alive. Now there would be eight of them at the table.
The next moment, the communication mirror in his hand vibrated.
"Captain, I just received news that a group of refugees had sought refuge at the military headquarters, but the headquarters was closed two hours ago and will not be open to anyone for the time being. Lieutenant Colonel Mary of the Iron Legion said that this is a period of war, and the military's top priority is to preserve combat power, not to rescue refugees," Hayden reported.
Licinius snorted and responded, "I guessed it a long time ago. And because of the military advisor's backstab, Cyrus should be like a frightened bird now. His injuries have not recovered yet, so of course he needs protection."
The best way is to order the Iron Legion to protect only him.
The reason for this was to preserve the fighting power against the Kingdom of Loen.
In fact, I am still afraid of death.
"Among the refugees are City Lord Rob and Principal Bane."
Hayden reported: "This group of people were massacred by monsters at the military headquarters. Several of them were even shot dead on the spot for breaking into the military headquarters. The remaining group of people are rushing to our camp in the civilian area."
Licinius frowned and ordered, "Close the city gates immediately and don't let them in. There is a high possibility that there are spies from Dawn mixed in with this group of people. Besides, there are already enough refugees in the camp. It will take a lot of energy for Lord Neil to check them one by one. We can't afford this risk."
At times like this, guarding the camp must be the top priority.
What Licinius just said was still conservative.
Among this group of people who have been to the military, there is a 100% chance that there will be Dawn's spies mixed in.
However, the people who had followed them into the camp were not suspected.
After all, the situation was the most dangerous at that time, and those who should have defected had already done so.
Hayden said, "As you command, Captain. But there is a problem here. The brave men are still waiting for the refugees near the camp gate. We were planning to close the gate just now, but they stopped us."
"Force the gates and ignore them."
Licinius knew what he was worried about, and shrugged and said, "This is a turbulent time after all. The number of people who can be saved is limited. If you insist on being a saint, then everyone will die. Moreover, if they have any objections, they should go directly to the military to confront Cyrus instead of morally blackmailing us here."
What's more, this is just the beginning.
In order to summon the coming of the true sage, he will do more things that are unforgivable in the eyes of the Holy See, which will inevitably lead to ideological conflicts with the heroes.
But it doesn't matter, this is the effect he wants.
Given Licinius's identity, he could not be considered a heretic in the eyes of the Holy See for the time being.
Then let Captain Owl of the Night Watch take the blame!
Chapter 61 Irena: In terms of IQ, you are not as good as him
The bells echoed in the night.
The students of Trinity Theological Seminary walked under the golden ginkgo trees, holding their books. The wind on campus was cool, blowing through the green shade of the park, past the ancient and solemn stone statues, and drifting towards an unknown distance.
"Teacher Qi Ge, is there still no letter sent from Roma City today?" someone asked softly.
The white-haired girl stood gracefully under the tree, stepping on the crisp leaves. The magic book in her hands seemed to emit an alluring fragrance of books. The wind blew her black dress, and the hem of the skirt swayed like a lotus.
This is a very beautiful girl, with picturesque eyebrows, delicate features, and a fresh and lovely personality.
The pure and flawless eyes remind people of a newborn kitten.
"No, Irena. It's been ten months, and there hasn't been a single letter from you. Only the little girl from the Knights of the Holy Light contacts you occasionally." said Uncle Chiger in the security room.
Irena pursed her red lips and continued to ask, "So, is there a letter from Fran today?"
Uncle Chiger shook his head: "No..."
Irena narrowed her beautiful eyes, and her expression became dull: "Okay, I get it."
After saying this, she turned and left.
Uncle Chiger asked, "Aren't you going to send anything to Roma this time? Let me tell you, your boyfriend is really not that good. He hasn't replied to your letters for ten months, but you're still thinking about him. There are so many excellent warlocks in the academy pursuing you, why are you still thinking about him?"
Irena paused, turned around and smiled politely: "Actually, he's not your boyfriend yet."
Uncle Qige's expression became even more strange. "You are so nice to him even though he is not your boyfriend? The freight you pay to the caravan every month can buy a small house on the border. Not to mention those expensive alchemical materials."
Irena smiled and said, "Because I hope he can become an excellent alchemist."
Uncle Qige sighed, took out a bill from his pocket, handed it to her and said, "You. Take it, this is sent to you by the July Chamber of Commerce. The money you entrusted the July Chamber of Commerce to manage has doubled this quarter. I didn't expect that you, a little girl, not only have a good talent for magic, but also a mind for business."
Irena took the bill, took a look at it, shook her head and said, "Actually, I'm not the one with the best talent."
I'm just a poor imitator.
"What did you say?" Uncle Chigurh asked.
"Nothing, sorry to bother Uncle Chiger."
Irena looked at the stars in the night sky and said softly, "I won't send anything anymore."
Uncle Chiger said, "That's right! People should look forward, not to mention a boyfriend who has already broken up... Well, not yet a boyfriend. Anyway, uncle hopes you can live a good life."
Irena thanked him politely, then turned and left, her skirt fluttering.
"Chairman Irena!"
"Hello, Senior!"
"It's Junior Irena, good evening!"
Students passing by greeted her one after another, but kept a polite distance and looked respectful in the eyes.
Irena Capet, a sophomore student at Trinity College, the youngest president of the Magic Society in history, a fourth-level peak wind and fire dual-element warlock, and born into a poor family.
The most important thing is that she is the student of the contemporary sword master.
The legend of Trinity College, the famous Sword Ghost, Valerius Novia is her senior sister.
Therefore, in this academy, no matter in terms of background or talent, she has an unshakable position.
Irena greeted her classmates with a smile, but in her beautiful and fresh eyes, there was a hint of deeply concealed disgust and alienation, which was completely inconsistent with her sweet smile, but no one could see it.
Until she stopped at the gate of the college.
The classmates passed her by and left the college.
But for her, this step was like an insurmountable chasm that was difficult to cross.
"It's been ten months. Are you still trying to break through the teacher's barrier? My dear junior, do you really have no idea of your own strength?"
A tall and burly figure appeared behind her at some point, and a female voice spoke.
A trace of hatred flashed in Irena's beautiful eyes. She turned around with a smile on her face. "How could that be? I was just thinking that if I could break through to the fifth level earlier, I could go visit Madam Valerius in person to thank her for her help and financial support over the years, and visit little Irena by the way."
The woman crossed her arms and said, "Really? I thought you were still thinking about that young master of the Valerius family."
Irena replied, "How could that be? I just wanted to make some compensation to him because I felt guilty. Since he won't reply to any of my letters, he is just being ungrateful."
The woman nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. Oh, by the way, the teacher asked me to inform you that you should remember to go to see Professor Byron tomorrow. He already has some ideas about the alchemical ritual for transferring soul elements, but that was the topic you first discovered, so I still want you to go."
Irena's beautiful eyes lit up: "Really?"
"It's true, but..."
The woman stared at her and said word by word: "Why do you want to study this kind of subject?"
Irena was silent for a second, then answered frankly, "Of course it's because of little Ailei. The most painful thing in her life is that she has no magical talent. If the transfer of soul elements can really awaken a person's magical talent, then she will definitely be very happy, right?"
The woman suddenly realized: "So that's it."
She no longer had any doubts and turned away.
Irena stayed there for a long time, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair by her ear, and said softly, "As expected, Licinius is always right, and there are not many smart people in this academy. If Senior Sister Diana goes to investigate how many times I have met with Irena, she will not believe this nonsense."
"It doesn't matter if she finds out. Professor Byron will not let go of this subject. After all, this is his chance to soar to fame. It's a pity. It would be better if Licinius was around."
She murmured, "If he were here, even the teacher would be fooled by him."
Unfortunately, she couldn't contact him since what happened ten months ago.
In such a huge college, she was like a bird in a cage, having lost her freedom.
"That idiot Fran, if only she had more sense, she would have contacted Licinius earlier."
Irena shook her head. "The teacher is still so wary of me. Now even my contact with Fran has been cut off. Otherwise, there is no way I wouldn't have received Fran's letter."
Given Fran's personality, even if she had given up on the boy for a time, she would definitely write to her best friend as long as she got any relevant news.
However, Fran was in Roma City, but no letter was sent to her.
There must be something wrong.
At the same time, this also means that she has to be more careful and vigilant in the academy.
"No matter what, I'll wait for you to come back."
Irena listened to the sound of the wind from afar: "Even if you hate me now..."
o
Valerius's house.
"Master, I just intercepted a letter from Fran Lihawain to Trinity College."
The subordinate reported respectfully: "The content of the letter is roughly the same as what we judged."
Grand Duke Bern gazed out the window at the night, revealing an interested expression: "Interesting, he has been out for ten months and has actually made some connections with someone in the Control Bureau... And it's Miss Luciemia?"
The subordinate said, "Yes, and according to Fran Lihawain's description, Master Licinius and Miss Lucimia have a very good relationship. No, to be precise, Miss Lucimia is very interested in Master Licinius, and it is even suspected that she has secretly developed feelings for him."
Grand Duke Bern raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure? Is it the legendary villain lady?"
The subordinate replied, "Yes, it is Miss Luciemia who will trample any suitor under her high heels. The probability that she is in love with Master Licinius is as high as 80%."
Archduke Bern fell silent.
After a long while, he ordered, "Notify Novia and the others to bring Licinius back to the capital as soon as possible after finishing the border affairs. Put the engagement on hold for now. I need to think about it."
There is only one person.
Should he be sent to Xavier's house or Barron's house
this is a problem.
But it must be said that the value of the waste was finally revealed, giving him a lot of surprises.
"clear… "
The subordinate said.
