The candles on the candlesticks emitted a faint glow, illuminating the room that was expected to be full of angels. Angels are seen in paintings hanging on walls, carvings on wardrobes, ceramic dolls placed on shelves, and even glass lampshades. pass

The world Griwin Ashuburn thoroughly pursued his interest in angels, and the entire castle was filled with angelic elements, even in the guest rooms.

This was Grey's room, and she was sitting on the bed in the center of the room. Shinji sat on the sofa on one side of the room, bending over to write and draw on the coffee table.

After Reiri Kano announced his last words, the two began to wander around the castle for several hours, walking around every corner of the castle before returning to the room that belonged to them.

Two people, one room - the room corresponds to the invitation, and one invitation corresponds to the one room. Of course, there is a servant's room next to the room, which is specially prepared for the servants carried by the magician.

However, Shinji did not use it. It's not that he wants to take advantage of Grey, the girl in the family didn't even do anything to get into the bed, and he was guilty of attacking the girl outside? What's more, she is also a descendant of Artoria, and with this relationship, Shinji can't do anything out of the ordinary.

The reason why Shinji and Grey are squeezed into a room is entirely because of safety concerns.

Grey is very strong, and in terms of combat effectiveness, there is no one stronger than her in the entire city except Shinji. However, Grey has an unusually serious flaw, she lacks combat experience, and only relies on her body to punch and dash, which is easy to be figured out.

If it really starts, she can be planted in anyone's hands - except for eight-year-old Lori Rosalinde. Shinji promised Webber that he would keep Grey safe, and that he would never leave Grey alone in a strange castle unless he lost his mind.

As for why he brought Grey to know that he was in danger, it was for exercise, of course, which is a tradition of the Skaha.

"Good, that's it. ”

Shinji casually threw away the pencil, first twisted his body and stretched on the sofa, and then threw a roll of paper on the coffee table to Gray on the bed.

"Here, help me see if there's anything wrong. ”

Grey catches the scroll of paper and opens it one by one, showing a pencil-based sketch of the interior of the "Stripping City."

"Hey, boy, you've been drawing maps for so long?" said Yard, who was placed on the bedside table.

"yes, what's wrong?" Shinji leaned lazily back on the couch, reaching into the backpack beside him with one hand and fumbling for something.

"I thought you had solved the puzzle. ”

"I'm not Webb, and solving puzzles is not my forte. I prefer to use my hands rather than my brain. ”

"I don't see that you're quite self-aware. ”

"Nonsense, I'm not you - you have the ability, you can solve it. ”

"That's not my strong suit. Yard is also very single, "But I always feel a little unwilling to give up like this." ”

"Who said you were going to give up?" Shinji smiled mysteriously, "You think I've been wandering around the castle for so long today just to survey the terrain?"

"Then you're in—"

Shinji didn't answer directly, and said with a smile: "Gray, remember one sentence - 'There is a specialization in the art industry'. Everyone has their own areas of expertise, Webb went to teach, and I went to fight with people, and naturally everything went well. The flip around—do you think Webber can block Miss Luvia's gem spell?"

Grey shook her head.

"So professional things have to be done by professional people. We just have to wait and wait for the professionals to solve the puzzle. ”

"But what does it matter to us that the others have unraveled?" Grey didn't understand.

"Girl, let me tell you one more very important thing - Webber, I, and the entire El Meloi classroom are actually outliers in the magic world, and the mainstream of the magic world is the law of the jungle, dark and cruel, and it is common to fight and kill people without saying a word, just like you experienced today. Believe it or not, I'm not the only one waiting in the dark, and once someone does solve the puzzle, it won't be long before a chaotic battle breaks out that draws everyone in. Instead of passively getting involved, it is better to take the initiative and leave a few hands on everything. ”

Maybe it's because Shinji said a little too much, and Grey can't digest it for a while, or maybe it's because what she sees and hears is very different from her previous life, and Grey sits motionless on the bed.

Shinji snapped his fingers, waking Grey out of her chaotic thoughts, and continued.

"Don't rush if you don't understand, take your time – remember that it's never a bad thing to prepare in advance. If you can't accept it and feel that you should obey Grevyn's last words, we can help the person who solves the puzzle and get paid by the way. ”

“…… ???Gree was stunned again.

Yard next to him laughed, "I didn't expect this to happen, stupid Grey." ”

"No matter which choice you make, you need to have enough strength first, otherwise it will be a problem to even protect yourself - there is no right or wrong power, the key depends on how people use it. I'm stronger than Qingxuan and Luvia, so I can teach them a lesson without hurting them, and if I'm not strong enough, do you think I can still sit here and talk to you intact?"

Grey shook her head and nodded again, "I see." ”

"Got what?"

"I'm going to practice what the instructor taught me. ”

"Sure enough, you're not stupid at all - well, a reward for you. Shinji finally pulled his hand out of his backpack and threw out a white cloth bag.

"What is this?" Grey hurriedly grabbed the cloth bag, which didn't look big, but it didn't weigh lightly.

"This is a life rune, put a piece next to your pillow before going to bed, activate it with magic power, and help relieve fatigue - you have a lot of exercise in a day today, and without this, you will inevitably have back pain. Nothing to do to rest early, tomorrow I have to get up early to exercise. ”

"Thank you, instructor. ”

"That's it, I'll go wash up, you carefully recall my two battles today, and I'll listen to your feelings tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes, instructor. ”

In Grey's unimposing reply, Shinji walked into the bathroom with his backpack in his hand, closed the door and stood in front of the mirror, his left arm buried in the relics raised, and an enchantment spread around his body.

"She's a really good student, so I can't let her see what's next, it's very important to her image. ”

The backpack opened, and unsurprisingly contained the tiny coffin, surrounded by a row of medical blood bags.

The moment the hand pressed on the coffin, an ominous blood-red glow filled the air. Shinji's expression suddenly became hideous, his eyes clouded, and his throat kept roaring like a beast.

He couldn't wait to grab a blood bag, bite it hard, let the blood soak into his mouth and throat, and soon spit it all out with a "wow". After repeating this several times, Shinji's expression returned to normal, and he patted the coffin while wiping his mouth.

"Phew, type O blood is so unpleasant, when is this chronic torture the end...... When you get better, I will definitely settle this account with you, so you must get well soon, my princess. ”

PS: Well, let's say in advance, the second master is not a vampire, not a vampire, not a vampire, above. (Even if you want to become a vampire, you have to enter the heyday, and becoming a vampire means that the body is frozen, and the second master is not fully developed.) ）
