Chapter 54: select

The night of the passionate moon is not too hot, and the cool breeze is so refreshing.

But in the hall of John's house, it was cool but deserted, with a bit of icy cold that penetrated into the bone marrow, and made him feel deep sadness.

On the sofa made of mahogany, the family of four seemed silent, without any mood of communication, as if caught in the memories of the past.

From time to time, Alisha took a handkerchief to wipe the secretly weeping tears; Ai Wen's astringent face was gloomy, and when he thought of the hatred, his fists were clenched tightly; Joel held a glass of spirits in his right hand and took a sip occasionally. But this big hobby other than music couldn't make his brows expand a little; John was quiet, with no joy or twist, and the glass of fine wine in his left hand did not decrease at all, like a stone statue.

"Hey, when people are old, they become soft-hearted and cannot accept the loss of life. When I was in Adenjeong, I had so many good friends and neighbors that I personally sent away, but they all recovered within a few days. Full of enthusiasm for life, such as when the old Evans died of illness, hey. "Joel sighed with ridicule.

Adejeang district is a slum area. There are many ordinary people on the ground floor that are insecure and there are also many men who simply rely on hard work to support their families.There are many people who suddenly fall ill and never get up again. The mortality rate is the entire Altogao. The place. Joel and his family who came out of this place were used to death and parting.

Alissa glared at Joel with a crying voice: "How can they compare to Evans Jr., he is so young, not even twenty-one, and so glorious, noble, tenacious Hard work is a great musician. Whoops, he has no wife and no children, so the blood of the Evans family is cut off. "

For a few years of aristocratic life, she spoke elegantly.

"Ah. Without this accident, we would be able to attend Little Evans' wedding in about six months." Joel sighed again. The performance of Natasha at the concert, the funeral, and the secret dating of the two made him believe that as long as the grandfather did not object, the two young people who obviously fell into the passionate love would eagerly enter the wedding hall. And is the Grand Guild opposed to Her Royal Highness's normal marriage? Obviously not!

Such regret silenced the hall again. Then John stood up. The tone was calm and comforted: "Dad, mom, you rest early, Lucien certainly doesn't want you to be sick because of him."

"Okay. Now that you have said that, John, let's go upstairs to sleep." Joel got up and patted John's shoulder and sighed again.

John, who had become a jazz, was the backbone of the whole family. His comfort was very effective, so Elisa put down tears. Speaking to him, "Little John, rest early and don't splurge on your knight's body. When patrolling near the Dark Mountain Fortress, your body is stronger and safer. There are many evil dark creatures and magicians."

The worries instilled in her by these other noble ladies, she didn't pay much attention to her, but this time Lucien? Evans was killed by the evil magician "Professor", which made her really take the matter seriously and worry about herself Big brother. The Dark Mountain Fortress is much more dangerous than Aalto.

When he heard the word magician, John had a slight invisible tremor in his hands, and then he hugged Eliza: "Mom, rest assured, I will pay attention to myself. Only strict demands on myself. Do not indulge, I can be a second-level knight, and I hope to be promoted to a grand knight within ten years. This will be a good fight against evil, and **** the devil, the demon and the magician. "

Speaking later. John couldn't help but curse.

At this time, the cool breeze blowing in from the open window became much louder. Whimpering, like countless ghosts crying and howling. The outside became gloomy and the moonlight disappeared. If it were not for the dim yellow lights on the several copper candlesticks in the hall, maybe it would be dark all around and no fingers could be seen.

"Who?" John sensed the smell of magic waves from the wind, and at the same time he noticed that someone was slowly walking down the stairs, so he stepped forward and pulled out the extraordinary sword placed on the coffee table, standing firmly against Joe. In front of him, Alissa and Alvin.

Because he did not feel the attack of the other party, and was worried that after he came forward to face the battle, other enemies would come out from another corner, so that his parents would be unguarded. Knight attendants and soldiers stationed outside.

Compared to his brother with rich experience and excellent strength, Aiwen who had been in cavalry training for a few years seemed very baffled and confused. Until John stopped drinking, he returned to God, and it took a lot of time to find his own sword. Finally, sweating heavily, holding a sword to protect the side.

The whole hall was exceptionally quiet. John's drinking did not arouse any response. Only the loud and loud footsteps from the stairs, pedaling, pedaling as if to step on the human heart.

Alisa pulled tightly on Joel's sleeve, her face full of fear, while Joel looked anxiously at John and Avon, both of whom were in their forties and his wife. Even if they die, there is no regret, but the children are still so young and there should be a bright future.

"Who? Who?" John asked without giving up, his strong will changed his mood from nervousness to calmness. This is a good area of ​​the aristocratic area. There are many knights, great knights, and even some great aristocrats. There are also sky knights in the home, plus the night watchmen on patrol.

A dim candlelight appeared at the corner of the staircase, and John stared out, blurting out:

"Lucian ?!"

The deceased Lucian Evans, who was wearing a black gown, a bow tie, and slowly descending down the stairs holding a silver candlestick.

"Little Evans ?!"

"Little Evans ?!"

"Brother Lucien ?!"

Joel, Alisa, and Ivan also saw the faces of the people clearly. Under the candlelight, the familiar handsome face was quiet and heavy, and the complexion was white but not pale, full of life.

"It's me, Uncle Joel, Alissa, John, and Irwin." Lucian tried to make himself smile, which would help to calm the atmosphere, but couldn't laugh at all.

Elisha exclaimed: "Little Evans, you have the permission of the Lord. Come and visit us once before ascending to the mountain of heaven?" When she grew up in the Duchy of Vaurit, she naturally understood everything and could not explain All things belong to the gods.

With excitement, she seemed to want to throw it out.

"Mom, be careful, you are not Lucien! It is an evil magician who turned Lucien into playing with us!" John stopped Alisa's urge.

With Lucian's undisguised mental restraint, he could barely defend.

"John. You are half right and half wrong. I am indeed Lucian Evans. But I am also a magician. I did not die, but took the opportunity to get rid of the identity of a musician." Lu Sean stopped on the next stairs, because Joel, Alisa, and Irwin were panicked and hated when they heard John's words. Subconsciously backing away, trying to widen the distance, while John was very vigilant and seemed to cut out with a sword at any time, so. Keeping a proper distance is good for everyone.

This perception made Lucian's mood a lot worse.

"Lucien is a magician, get away with a fake death?" John repeated again, his face full of anger: "Asshole, you **** asshole, you **** magician, after killing Lucian, come to slander his Reputation! He has been interrogated by the tribunal. He has devoted himself to music. He is devout, tenacious, tenacious, cheerful, optimistic, and pure. How can he be a magician? "

A series of adjectives established his inner Lucian image.

Originally hesitant and bewildered, Joel and others were again infected by John's resoluteness and stared at Lucian in hatred.

John continued: "I'm a knight, don't I know that a magician has a deformed spell, what exactly are you doing to get Lucian to vilify him?"

"John, do you remember the discussion about chivalry and creed before we countered Aaron's gangster. Remember what we said in the alleys of Adagon after defeating Aaron's gangster? "Can the wolves eat the words?" Lucian expected this, and said hurriedly that no one would immediately believe that his friend who had just been buried suddenly resurrected and told himself that everything was false. . Especially this is a world with magic.

John's gaze became surprised, but he said deeply, "What's the use of saying these things? There are many magical means to let you know these things from Lucian's mouth!"

Lucian always admired the knight's firm will. But today, I have a headache, and it is important that I don't know the bits and pieces before passing through. If I continue to confirm by details, it is easy to "prove" that I am false, so I have to say: "John you should be very clear These little things are difficult to ask every detail by magic means, unless it is the magic of the Nine Rings that invades the mind. You can ask me in any tiny place about this matter to confirm my identity. "

John's expression was somber and a little bit struggling and disgusted, while Joel, Alissa, and Irwin were resentful, disgusted and confused.

Seeing that John didn't ask, Lucien said from scratch: "I did not learn magic after I knew the witch, so I could withstand the torture of the tribunal, but then Rev. Benjamin asked me and some knight attendants to handle the witch magic experiment When I was in the office, I got a copy of the witch's cautious notes and notes, and I embarked on the path of magic. "

"Uncle Joel, Alissa, John, do you remember why I suddenly wanted to learn text? That's because only learning text can read magic notes and books!"

"John, do you know why I found the plot of the Silver Horn? That's because I practice magic in the sewer!"

...

The details of the memories and the problems covered by the details were revealed one by one by Lucian. The strict logic and other confirmations made John's face shake strongly. He groaned paradoxically: "Lucian, you Why make me believe it? Believe that my good friend is a magician? A magician who plays with good people throughout the city? "

In his mind, it seemed that Lucian's image was completely destroyed.

Alisa shook her head in disbelief. The child she loved and got along with was the evil magician in the church propaganda, and if the fake death was true, it was really evil ...

Joel stared at Lucian's eyes and saw the pain in his eyes. The disgust on his face was relieved a little: "Little Evans, you have to start choosing magic as a last resort, but why did you show it after you showed such a great music? Continue to pursue the path of magic? Are you so eager for power that you turn your back on the Lord? "

"Uncle Joel. Not so. I chase magic because I love it deeply, and I want to penetrate the truth of this world. What is our life, why can this world exist, in what form, and why is the starry sky above me so Questions such as regularity and mystery and their unknown answers are beautiful and attractive. Full of charm. "Lucian answered from the heart. Then he looked at John, "John, I am dying because the magician ’s identity will be revealed sooner or later. In this case. It is better to let the musicians everyone loves live in their hearts forever. I am sorry for the things that make them sad."

"And after I became a magician, I never took the initiative to hurt any innocent person except to protect myself and save people, whether you can accept my magician's identity. I hope you can understand that I am not that evil magic Division, and most wizards in the Magic Council are not. "

John's face eased a little: "Lucian, why are you still in front of us since you have died, don't you worry that we will betray you?"

Seeing their mood eased a little, Lucian took a step forward, but John, Joel, Alissa, and Irwin all stepped back subconsciously, and fear and terror still existed.

Seeing such a situation, Lucian shook his head with a bitter smile: "Uncle Joel. Alissa, John, Ivan, I came back to ask if you would like to follow me to Holm Kingdom, where there is a lot of magic Teacher. But there is still a church, there is a nobleman, but everyone is very peaceful, and I am sure that the nobles of Holm Kingdom will accept you. "

"Kingdom of Holm? Headquarters of the Magic Council? Her Royal Highness?" John seemed to think of something.

Lucian shook her head again: "This time it has nothing to do with Natasha. It was planned by my teacher 'Professor' and me. When I have seen you, I will also see her. Tell her the facts and hope Get her forgiveness. "

Without taking Natasha out, many things will not be easy in the future. When I recalled, about the part of Natasha, Lucian also edited and fabricated the character of "Professor" to lie.

Then Lucien asked again, "Will you follow me? No matter what your status, wealth or beliefs, you don't need to change."

Silence, the inexplicable silence of Joel's family.

After a while, just as Lucien was about to ask again, John shook his head alertly: "Lucien, I am a knight of the Duchy of Vaurit, a knight of the Violet Knights, and I have my own country And lord, my knight creed keeps me from leaving these. "

Firmly refused, with a touch of rustiness and estrangement.

Joel smiled hard and said, "Little Evans, you haven't forgotten us and made me very happy. But I like Aalto, the music capital, my friends and my family are here, and I can't give up."

"Little Evans, I have a hard time imagining the scene of living with the magicians, and I serve the Lord with pious faith." Alissa declined politely, but it was also a big gully.

Ivan also shook his head without surprise.

Seeing their firmness, Lucian closed her eyes and sighed softly: "Okay, I see. Uncle Joel, Alissa, John, Ivan, I hope that after I leave, you can ask The court reported that I was a magician. "

"What ?!" John, Joel, Alissa, and Irwin were totally unable to understand Lucian's thoughts and ideas, and he asked himself to wait for someone to report him ?!

Lucian showed a slightly sad smile: "Sooner or later my identity as a magician will be exposed, and it will involve you, so it is better for you to report it. In this way, the church will not embarrass you."

After such "betrayal and betrayal", the church will certainly not think of taking the Joel family to slap themselves.

"You ..." John, they were shocked and speechless, went to report Lucien, report their "baby", good friend, brother, what kind of cruelty? Even when they just hated Lucien, they Never thought about it!

Lucien bowed deeply with his left hand on his chest: "Cruelty is also a kind of tenderness. Allow me to say goodbye in this regard, and hope to have a chance to meet again in the future."

Joel, John, Alissa, and Irvin were silent as if they were resisting the magician Lucian.

With grief in her heart, Lucien turned and walked outside, maybe there was no chance to see him again in the future.

In a silence, seeing Lucian approaching the door, Alisa's trembling voice suddenly came from behind:

"Little Evans ..."

Lucien looked back slightly in anticipation.

Alissa bit her lip and said, "Be careful what magic council is there, it must be more dangerous than Aalto's music world I will, Alissa is sloppy." Lucian's eyes became A little moist.

After struggling, Joel also sighed: "I believe your heart is kind. If one day you can't live in the magic council, remember that there is still a home for you."

John's expression was very complicated and contradictory. His hands holding his sword were exposed with blue tendons. When he saw Lucian promised Joel that he was about to turn around and leave, he finally blurted out: "Never do bad things, don't let me encounter them . "

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Be careful."

Suddenly, Lucian smiled brightly, bowed deeply to them again, and then disappeared into the darkness without looking back. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendations, monthly passes. Mobile users please go to read
