Chapter 80: The Journey
Adelia nodded when she heard the teacher's words, but did not answer, and tears began to slide down the corners of her eyes. With the awakening of the silver dragon's bloodline, Adelia can already clearly feel the state of the teacher in her arms, his vitality is rapidly depleting, and the faint light of life will be extinguished at any time.
Elder Curzon was also very aware of his state, the demonic fire had been burning in his wounds, eating away at his body, and it was only a matter of time before he could consume his own life. After a desperate duel with that demon, it was beyond his own expectations that he could hold on for so long. In the last moments of his life, he wanted to say a few words to Adelia and to warn the child before leaving.
However, he could not do it, and the responsibility on his shoulders told him that he must tell the child the most important things.
"Adelia, let me sit up. ”
With tears in her eyes, Adelia helped Elder Curzon straighten up, and after Elder Curzon sat up, she took a deep breath with difficulty. At this time, Jiwen also walked in front of them. Curzon glanced at Jiwen, there was no longer the hostility in his eyes, and he casually ordered, "Since you are also here, let's listen together." ”
After speaking, Curzon turned his gaze to Adelia and said very cautiously: "Silvermoon child, promise me three things, no matter what situation you are in or what difficulties you encounter, you must also do it. ”
Adella nodded her head and listened to the teacher's last teachings.
"First, although you really want revenge, I still hope that you can hide your special identity and try to live. Remember to dodge the King's Sword, they are just as dangerous to you as the demons. ”
"Second, don't let yourself fall into the hands of demons alive, because the safety of the whole world is at stake. If one day, you really can't get rid of the clutches, then be brave and face your destiny. ”
Elder Curzon's second request made Adelia stop crying, and she looked up at Elder Curzon and noticed the stern gaze in the old man's eyes. Adelia knew that there must be a huge responsibility and secret hidden behind Elder Curzon's seemingly ruthless request, and although she didn't know why, she still nodded and replied resolutely, "I will definitely be able to do it." ”
Elder Curzon looked at Adella with relief, then suddenly turned his gaze to Given.
"Summoned beast, though I don't know your name, where you're from, or what you want to do in this world. But if you are truly as trustworthy as Adella says, please grant me a request before I die. If one day your master falls into the hands of the demons, please let her enjoy a peaceful death, and do not let her fall into the endless torment of the demons!"
Givens looked at the old man, then at Adelia as he pondered the meaning of his words. Eventually, Givens finally nodded.
"I promise you, old man. ”
Hearing this answer, Elder Curzon's expression finally relaxed, and he began to say his last request.
"Thirdly, the Silvermoon guards may be hiding a lot from you, but trust them and listen to their warnings and opinions, although they can't explain why, it must be for your good. ”
Suddenly, Elder Curzon stopped, his gaze suddenly fell behind Adelia, and the light of life that had been silent in his eyes suddenly rekindled.
Givens and Adelia turned their heads in unison, and not far behind Given, a figure wrapped in a cloak stood quietly. The figure was not tall, but emaciated, and seemed to resemble a female elf, but her hood seemed to have been obscured by magic, and the face under the hood could not be seen at all.
Looking at Given's and Adella's nervous expressions, Elder Curzon whispered.
"Don't worry, it's your own people. ”
After saying that, Curzon raised his hand with difficulty, and made a gesture of the Silver Moon Guard in his heart.
The black shadow on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and then raised his right hand to his chest tremblingly, making a crescent moon appearance.
Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Elder Curzon's face. The two proudest students of his life came to him at this moment, accompanying him through the last journey of his life, and he has no regrets now.
He lowered his arms, his body relaxed, and the man leaned against Adella.
The cloaked stranger hurried to Elder Curzon, knelt down on his knees, held his hand, and sobbed in a low voice.
Elder Curzon looked at the stranger distressedly and asked in a low voice, "Have you caught the 'mentor'?"
"Mentor" is a demon's nickname, he is extremely cunning and dangerous, and Elder Curzon has dealt with him for hundreds of years. If Elder Curzon had guessed correctly, the demon that had just been killed by Jiwen should have been just one of the Mentor's students.
The stranger shook his head, and from under the cloak came the voice of a young girl, her tone with a cry: "I'm late, it's all my fault, if I had caught the mentor, nothing would have happened today......"
"Don't blame yourself too much, today's riot is not like the usual style of the mentor, it should be just an accident. ”
"But you ......"
"Don't say it, since the seed can break through the ground and sprout, there will eventually be a day when it will wither and die, and there is nothing to care about. Child, Adelia I will entrust it to you, you are all my pride, and you will not let me down. ”
"Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely protect her. ”
The stranger's address to Curzon surprised both Adella and Given. The stranger, like Adella, had been a student of Elder Curzon.
After hearing the stranger's answer, Elder Curzon stretched out his hand and gently stroked the hood, as if completing a solemn entrustment, and at that moment, Elder Curzon thought a little guiltily: I'm sorry, Zhuo Enmi, what I promised you when I left the royal capital before, I can't do it now. I put such an important task on your shoulders before leaving, and I hope you can forgive me for blaming me.
Curzon sighed again, then pulled himself together and said with the last of his strength: "Adelia, promise me to go back to the exam you have been expecting, and get the qualification to go to the Royal Call Academy." Then go to the royal capital and learn how to survive in this world from the best summoners in the kingdom. And then go out of your own way. ”
As soon as Curzon finished speaking, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground completely, and he breathed weakly.
Adelia pressed her hands on Elder Curzon's chest, desperately trying to wake the teacher up with healing. But Elder Curzon's breathing had stopped forever.
Elder Curzon's fall also sent the stranger into a gaffe, and after a long silence, she stood up and grabbed Adella's arm.
"It's useless, it's impossible for the teacher to wake up again. ”
"Let go of me. Before Adelia could recover from her grief, she tried to save Elder Curzon until Gilvan grabbed her arm and woke her up with a word.
"Remember your teacher's last request? That exam is still waiting for you, Adella. ”
Adelia finally stopped, and then struggled to her feet. She reluctantly looked at Elder Curzon lying on the ground, making a final goodbye.
The stranger hiding in the cloak had also regained her composure at this moment, and she reminded: "The game has already begun, and you have no time to waste. “
Givens followed suit, "Let's go, Adella." “
The stranger looked at Jivin and shook his head. They have neither summoned beasts or magic items that can fly, nor magic that can teleport. If you want to get to the arena in time, there is only one way left.
"It's too late for you to rush over like this, so I'll let my friend give you a ride. ”
With that, the stranger spoke strange language into the air, as if to say something, and there was a slight voice in the air from time to time in response. Finally, she turned to face Givens and Adella, and said, "Hurry up, my wind fairy will take you to the examination room." ”
As soon as her words fell, a strange wind rolled up out of thin air, and Jiwen and Adelia suddenly felt that their bodies had lost their weight, and the person suddenly floated in the air, and then under the support of an invisible force, they flew high, crossed the roofs of countless tree houses, and flew in the direction of the examination room.
Mirto also woke up from his coma after they left, and he struggled to get up against the wall, and then looked at the scene in amazement. At the same time, the city sheriffs and guards who had rushed to reinforce the prison gate after hearing the news. They saw the same picture as Milto.
An entire corner of the prison has completely collapsed, the ground is full of traces of battle, and there is even a huge magma pond left, and the remaining flames are still burning everywhere.
Sunia's mutilated body landed on a pile of rubble in a terribly twisted corpse, and Elder Curzon of the Summoning Academy lay flat on a gravel floor, and beside him, a mysterious figure who had hidden himself under a cloak.
The sheriffs looked at the mysterious man hostilely, and many of them began to urge the crystal disk or start summoning, while the guards held their halberds high and gathered around the mysterious man.
The mysterious figure turned and looked around at the nervous sheriffs and guards. Although she didn't say a word, there was an invisible majesty in her every move, and finally she pulled out a delicate nameplate inlaid with spars from her bosom.
The nameplate is carved with oak trees and swords, surging with flashes of magic. As the nameplate activated, an illusion of an oak tree and a sword gradually emerged into the air, dazzling.
All the sheriffs and guards recognized the meaning of this sign, the King's Sword, the most mysterious and powerful institution in the entire kingdom. Judging by the brilliant effects of that badge, this mysterious figure must have been a person with a particularly high status in the King's Sword.
Sensing the other party's identity, the sheriff and the guards gathered their weapons and bowed to her.
Only then did she speak, and her voice seemed to have a penetrating power, sweeping through the hearts of everyone present.
"Just now the demon and the servant attacked the prison, and in order to protect the peace of the city, Elder Curzon killed the demon and the demon servant Sania, but the enemy was too strong, and Elder Curzon heroically chose to die with the demon. Okay, that's the end of the matter, you can clean up the scene. ”
Her tone was calm, but unmistakable.
The King's Sword had absolute control over any case, so the sheriffs present nodded their heads and accepted the stranger's assertions, and then quietly bypassed the sword-wielding man and walked into the prison to begin to investigate the scene of the battle.
The sword-wielder saw that the sheriffs had taken control of the situation and quietly left. The guards consciously made way for the majestic sword-wielding man, and then watched in silence as she disappeared into the street.
No one saw her come to an alley back to the back street and step into an ornate carriage pulled by a unicorn. The moment she closed the door, a cry soaked in grief came from behind the door, and it didn't subside for a long time.
