The candlelight flickered slightly, and Vangelis staggered into the hall, while Clond still stood motionless in front of the coffin.

"You should drink less cigarettes, Fanzhe, and in a short time you will be the new archbishop......" Clond said in a low voice.

Vangelis held the door for a moment, and then he surged himself and walked to the futon in front of Sainz's coffin and knelt down. After a long silence, he spoke in a hoarse and dull voice: "I have come to visit my teacher, he is about to be buried, and I will never see him again......"

Vangelis lowered his head, his body exuding a strong smell of wine, Crand's was silent, and the two of them knelt and stood for a long time.

"I never thought the day would come so quickly......," said Vangellis, looking distractedly, "I know he is old, but he has always been in good spirits, and every morning I wake up with a kind smile reminding me not to forget to finish my morning class, reminding me that morning is the most important time of the day, just like the youngest years of a person's life...... I'll never be reminded to finish my morning class again......"

"I didn't have any relatives, and since the woman I love chose to spend the rest of my life with another man, my teacher has been my only relative......" Vangelis muttered to himself, as he was like a frustrated traveler walking alone in the dark, exhausted all over his body.

He suddenly burst into tears, but held back his tears and choked up: "I finish my morning class every day, Master Crand, Mr. Sainz doesn't really need to remind me every day, I just want to see him smile at me...... I prayed to the Lord every day, I prayed that it would draw all the pain away from me, that it would soon wake me up from the great dreams of my youth, that I would pray that those I cherish would be happy and healthy forever...... I believe in the Holy Religion of Light, I am selfless and generous, I don't expect anything that I can't get, but, but, why would the Lord take my only relative?! I was defenseless, it was like a curse, I was willing to abandon the happiness of my life for the sake of my beloved woman, but in the end, my closest teacher also gave his life to her children...... Isn't she taking enough from me?!Is she really going to take everything from me?!"

Vangillis exhaled a heavy breath through his nose, and the man fought back his grief to recount the pain in his heart. At this time, he is no longer the usual unsmiling, sitting upright High Priest of Van Gellis, but more like a frustrated young man, who talks about his emotional pain on the side of the road after a hangover.

"It's not fate, kid ......" Crowde, who had been silent for a long time, listened to Van Gellis's words, stretched out his hand and put his hand on his shoulder, comforting the sad man beside him.

"Even if it were any other child, Sainz would have given his life to save it, and he always did. Don't complain about fate, it has given you the best things, it has not caught those that are not yours, no matter what, you have ever had. ”

Vangellis hung his head down, his hair disheveled, limply falling down to obscure his face.

"You are still alive and sound, you are a disciple of Sainz, he has taught you everything about himself without reservation, you will inherit his will to complete his unfinished mission, this is your responsibility, hold it and live well. ”

Clond patted Van Gellis on the shoulder, turned and walked out of Valhalla. In the moonlight, his old figure seemed lonely and lonely, and he walked quietly into the night, silent all around.

Vangellis still knelt there, motionless......

Crald walked out of Valhalla, stood on the stairs in front of the hall, raised his head and silently watched as the waning moon in the sky gradually became obscured by dark clouds.

Someone appeared silently behind Klender, dressed in black and wearing a wide hood on his head, hidden in the darkness of the night.

"The plan has already begun. The man in black said to Crald in a low voice.

"Complete the experiment as soon as possible, Sainz is dead, you can speed up the process. Clond said with a blank face.

"Yes. The man in black whispered yes.

Clender looked at the waning moon emerging from the dark clouds, and said with burning eyes: "I must fulfill Sainz's will, this world needs more powerful power to protect it." ”

Three years later –

Zero yawned lazily on his desk, his eyelids lowered as he looked at the young female teacher on the podium who was giving a lesson to the children.

"Students, what do you mean by happiness?" asked the female teacher, smiling at the students in the classroom.

"I know!" one of the students raised his hand and stood up and said, "Happiness is a life that makes people feel happy and satisfied~"

The female teacher nodded and said, "The answer is very good~ Please sit down, so students, what is your happiness?"

"My happiness is to eat all the delicacies on the whole continent!" said a little fat man with a raised hand, but his answer immediately drew a laugh from the class.

"Hahaha...... He knows how to eat! There is no ...... at all."

"What a foodie, they're already so fat. ”

"Sooner or later, he's going to fatten himself to death, hahaha......"

"If it's me, I'll become a fierce dragon knight!"

"I'm going to be a Templar of the Holy See of Light!

"I want to be a fire magician! ”

"Then I'm going to become a water magician to extinguish your fire, hahaha......"

"I want to be a sword master like General Wayne and fight to defend my country!"

"I want to be ......"

Zero looked listlessly at the excited posture of the children around him, and listened to the sound of children making noise in his ears, and felt a sense of weakness in his heart. In fact, it was he who was hungry, and ten minutes ago, his stomach began to scream, because he had not eaten enough in the morning, and because he was old enough to grow his body, he felt unbearably hungry. Zero has been waiting for the bell to ring so he can leave the class full of the noise of little children and go back to a full meal.

"Okay, okay, calm down......" The female teacher calmed down for a while, and then the unworldly children gradually quieted down.

"It seems that everyone's happiness is based on lofty ideals, which is very good, and the students are very ambitious!" said the female teacher with a smile to the children.

The governess noticed Zero, who had been lying on the table silently, and she smiled and asked him, "Jeno, what do you think happiness looks like?"

Hearing that he was being named, Zero stood up slowly and replied in a very lazy voice, "Happiness...... I think happiness is ...... It's a delicious finger cake that you can eat when you're hungry. ”

Hearing Zero's answer, the whole classroom burst into laughter again, and even the female teacher on the podium couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh twice.

"Hahaha! another foodie!"

"Finger cake, his happiness is to eat finger cake, my God. ”

"What kind of cake is that, but it feels dirty when you hear the name......

"Sure enough, I'm still a fool, hahaha......"

"He's actually the son of the Sword Master, it's a shame......

Seeing that the female teacher motioned for him to sit down, and sat back on the bench slowly, he curled the corners of his mouth disapprovingly and sighed softly.

"It's a pity...... I can't eat it if I want to......" Zero said in his heart.

In the corner of the classroom, Evan looked at the breezy Zero with a smile on his face, and as Zero put his arms on the desk again, Evan turned his face and continued to listen carefully.

The school bell rang, and in the midst of the bustling noise of children, Zero walked out of the classroom slowly. He walked in the crowded campus, his expression was indifferent, and he walked outside the school gate without hurrying or slowing.

"Jano!"

Someone shouted his name behind him, and Zero was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, but he didn't respond, and continued to walk forward casually.

There was a rush of footsteps from behind, and Isheli Huibel ran up behind Zero and jumped up and grabbed him by the neck, leaving her whole body on Zero's back.

"Can't you hear? I shouted to you and you still run. ”

"Ahem...... Don't strangle me, let it go......" Zero rolled his eyes as he strangled his neck and struggled a few times to get the girl off his back.

With her long, dark red hair and snow-white skin, she looked at Zero with a smile on her small silver tiger teeth. This is a very lively and cute little girl, but she is also a troublesome spirit that gives Zero Ten a headache. She is the youngest daughter of the current king of the Dnoth Empire, Videlier Hoibel.

With a royal background, she is naturally pampered, and many classmates at school tolerate and scruple her because of her princess status, and she is a little bully among all the children. I remember that when Zero first entered school, the little princess was entangled to be her follower, Zero didn't know her at the time, so naturally she didn't take her seriously, and after a while, she knew the identity of the other party, so she even more wantonly counted her etiquette and temperament. At that time, Zero thought that everyone was a child anyway, and it was not a big deal to speak lightly or seriously, who knew that she would cry. At that time, there was a lot of trouble, and His Majesty the Emperor's favorite little daughter was provoked to cry, so it was okay, and in the end, it was Wayne and Nasha, a pair of parents, who took Zero into the palace to apologize in person.

Who knew that the little princess's behavior was abnormal, not only restrained her temperament, but also began to pester Zero every day, behaving very friendly, although she still tricked Zero later, Zero thought that it would be enough to give her revenge, but this girl likes to come to him when she has nothing to do since then. It's also a headache to be pestered by a princess with a prominent background all day long, and Zero just wants to learn something seriously. When he first arrived in this world, he knew nothing about this place, and he didn't even know the words, and he had to learn at least the most basic language before he could investigate why he was here. Who knew that being entangled by a little girl and having to coax her not to offend her was really a headache......

At this time, Iselle looked at Zero and showed her cute tiger teeth and said to him with a sweet smile: "I'm going to your house to play with you this afternoon~"

"Don't ...... Why do you run to my house when you have nothing to do?" Zero suddenly had a big head, scratched his cheeks, and his face was full of depression.

Iseli was not happy to hear Zero's words, and pouted and said, "Hmph! Princess Ben is looking for you to play to give you face~ Why don't you hurry up and thank me." ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he left a sentence of "Don't give me face" angrily, turned around and continued to walk towards the school gate.
