22. Chapter 22
On the first day of copying, Eve's right hand...... It's close to being overloaded, but I haven't finished copying the "Eight Hundred Potions Matching Essentials and Precautions" again.
Eve squeezed her sore hands, looked at the thick two books that could kill people, and a fluke thought popped up in her heart, Alan was happy...... It's just angry words, such a thick book, even if she copies for five days without sleep, she may not be able to finish it.
And how much more ...... him Eve touched her scratched fingers and recalled the scene of that day, and rubbed her head back and forth in the thick pages, her hot cheeks infected with the cold pages.
A girl's mind is always spring.
With this in mind, Eve mustered up the courage the next day, and repeatedly hesitated to the door of Alan's room, looking east and west.
Desi, who had just been disgusted by Alan, saw Eve and smiled kindly, not losing patience and gentleness because of his master's irritability, "Good morning, Miss Eve." ”
Eve, who hadn't slept well, was fluttering lightly under her feet, and every step was like stepping on cotton, and her heart was even softer: "Good morning, Desi." ”
Desi bent down and bowed like a gentleman, if he wasn't a skeleton, this action was extremely standard, but the words he said made Eve's back cold, "Miss Eve, the master has explained your "The Practical Essentials of the Black-Hearted Magician" ten times, and the "Eight Hundred Potions Matching Essentials and Precautions" ten times, and you have copied it so quickly?" Without the use of magic, this is a miraculous speed. ”
"......" Eve's last suspected little luck was shattered, and she lowered her head silently, "Not yet." ”
"That's a pity, you have to keep trying."
Inside, Eren, who was hot and difficult to suck blood, opened the door, he was wearing a meticulous white coat, his hair was neatly combed, and the scalpel he held was glowing coldly.
Eve's little heart tightened.
"Done?" Chilly.
"Still a few ......"
"How much worse?" Dysphoria.
"Probably, about nineteen more." Eve didn't dare to look at Alan's expression, and her head was about to be buried in her wrist.
Allen looked impatient, exuding a thick irritability from the inside out, "The speed at which you copy books is simply like a snail crawling, slow to the extreme." ”
"But ......"
"But what?" Alan interrupted coldly, "Go back and finish copying the book, add ten times to one book." ”
"Yes." Disgusted, Eve silently walked back to the room, and wanted to cry without tears to pick up the "Eight Hundred Potions Matching Essentials and Precautions" and quill pens.
And over there, not long after Eve left, Jona, who had just received Otto's letter from the owl, ignored Desi, who was dissuaded by kind words at the door, kicked open Alan's door, threw the parchment paper in his hand directly on his desk, and said straight to the point, "My father has written a letter. ”
"Oh." Alan didn't react, he looked at Jona, and his words were emotionless, "So what? ”
"That dark mage has already been captured by the Church on his way to Otto, so all the checkpoints between Gary and Otto have been removed, and we can leave for the royal capital tomorrow."
"My plan doesn't stop at the king." Alan glanced at her faintly, crumpled the parchment into a ball, and tossed it to the side of the pile of waste paper.
Jona looked at him with a little "sympathy", with a hint of pity, "Unfortunately, Alan, you may not be able to choose, because this is an order from the Elders' House to send your father, the King of Allen, to summon Duke Allen back to the royal capital immediately. You'll probably receive it right away. ”
Alan gritted his teeth fiercely, "What does the House of Elders know?" ”
"I don't know, but the eyes of the elders have always been all over the continent, everywhere." Jona shook her head, "Maybe it was you who collected materials, such as Lauren's scales and beard, and tried to remove the blood blood from your body, which was known to the elders, and you also know in your heart that most of the elders want that part of the blood blood to be preserved and circulated." ”
Alan didn't speak.
Jona said, "Don't worry, the elders' opinions are at best a reference. It's up to you to really make the decision. Whether it's the King, the Queen, or several princes and princesses, including Duke Camilla's family, we support your decision. ”
"Thank you." It took a long time for Alan to hold back two words. He took off his real clothes and hung them aside.
"Then your choice is still the same as it was at the beginning?" Jona asked.
"Yes." Alan said in a deep voice, like a twilight drum bell, "It's not necessarily a good thing to keep it. ”
"Now that I've made up my mind, I'll let Emily prepare her things now, and I'll leave for Otto tomorrow." Jona said, suddenly remembering, "By the way, I heard Fern say that you promised Eve that when you get back to Otto, you will send an errand runner to inform her family in Gary to pick her up in Otto?" ”
Alan was noncommittal.
"I have a friend who lives in a small town nearby. I've asked the owl to deliver her a letter, and she'll be able to pick up Eve at the castle tonight, stay at her house for a while, and have a good friend inform her parents. ”
Allen's face suddenly became a little gloomy, "She is my apprentice." ”
"It's not a good time to go back to Otto with Eve this time." Jona was a little meaningful, "It's just a period of separation, and it's not a farewell, after you deal with Otto's affairs, you can still go to Gary to pick her up, you can propose marriage or be a lover or a wife, it all depends on your mood." ”
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't develop a relationship with her other than teacher and student. ”
"Oh, really?" Jona said lightly, "Alan, you've drunk Eve's blood, haven't you?" ”
Alan didn't deny it.
"Once you drink blood, what does it mean?" Jona made a decision for him, "It's better for you to be separated from Eve lately. ”
……
Eve was holding the clothes and food that Jona had prepared for her, packed in a large package, a little aggrieved.
"Honey, Alan has an urgent matter at home, so I have to rush back to Otto first." Jona tried to make Eve happier, "This is my good friend Judy, and her family lives in a small town nearby. When you go back with her, she will ask someone to notify your parents and ask them to pick you up. ”
Eve misses her family and friends very much, but her big watery eyes can't help but look at the door of Alan's room, and she wants to stop talking, "That...... And what about Alan? Won't we see each other again? ”
Jona shook her head: "Of course not, you remember to leave the specific address, and when Alan finishes his business, he will go to King Garry to find you immediately." ”
Eve blinked, flashing and flashing, "Really? ”
"Really."
"That'...... Can I have a few words with Alan? Eve was a little reluctant and asked carefully, "After all, he has taken care of me for so long, and I want to say thank you to him." ”
"Hmm...... OK. Although Jona really didn't want them to meet, once they had contact once, it was hard to resist not wanting a second time. Since they want to remove the blood of the blood clan, they can't suck anyone's blood anymore, otherwise their efforts will be useless. But if she watched from the sidelines, maybe it would be better.
The two of them really met, and Jona regretted it a little, it was better not to see them.
Because Elan's appearance was very annoying throughout the whole process, as soon as Eve opened the door and hesitated to speak, Alan looked like he was getting up and angry: "What are you doing?" ”
"Alan, I'm going home......"
"Home? Well...... You should go home right away and stay there. Alan smelled her breath, and the cells in his body were agitated.
"Otto's three-year-old can beat you, this is another world of the jungle, you can't do magic, you shouldn't run around."
Eve was a little embarrassed by his words and suppressed her uncomfortable feelings, "I've caused trouble for you and Jona during this time, I ......"
"Your existence itself is a nuisance." Eren stood up, his long figure casting a shadow.
Eve's eyes were a little hurt, and Alan didn't scruple about it, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go back before it's dark." Not everyone can easily deal with the crisis lurking in the dark with you holding them back. ”
He turned, and Eve stayed any longer, not knowing if he could restrain the dark factor rolling in his blood. Maybe in the next second, he will bite Eve's neck, even if Jona and Fern block it together, it is useless, after all, the two of them combined...... I can't beat him.
"I'm sorry for the trouble." Eve bit her lip, stubbornly accepted the taunt of Allen's head and face, and still bowed silently according to etiquette, "Thank you for taking care of you these days." ”
Eve turned around and ran away like a wolf. Joanna waited for her figure to disappear and slapped him on the arm, "How did you speak?" ”
"Or else?" Alan looked at her inexplicably, "Do you want to reluctantly leave her behind, suck the blood from her whole body and finally turn into a dried corpse?" ”
"Then you can't talk like that." Jona accused.
Allen, who had always been mean, didn't feel that he had said anything wrong at all, and with a snort, he went to the real room.
