Chapter 326: The Devil's Claws Reappear
The blonde Cecily swerved down the path from the edge of the flower bed, dressed in a slightly fluffy light blue pleated gown, with her shoes exposed, and a book tucked under her bent white elbows. She also had a female companion by her side, perhaps a student from this academy.
Yes, although the Hodder guy graduated, Cecily obviously didn't get to the end of it yet.
It's never your style to turn around and run, especially when faced with a new type of shiitake mushroom.
So Saul took out the book, opened it in his palm, and bowed his head slightly.
The scholarly temperament is something that he is born with, and Saul has always believed so.
There are bright street lights at intervals on both sides of the path, so Saul's reading is not obtrusive.
In fact, if the whole academy is strolled, there are really a lot of students like this.
After all, sometimes knowledge is also related to inspiration, and when I suddenly think of it, I naturally have to stop and open the book to confirm it. Of course, the truth is that the male cadet wants to show his erudition to seduce the opposite sex, and Thor uses it to reduce his presence at this time.
Cecily and her female companion were talking and laughing, and in a blink of an eye, they walked past Saul's eyes.
Their topic seemed to be about what a dumbfounded male student had done in the morning magic class.
Thor listened silently, his gaze resting at his feet, and as Cecily and the others passed, Thor glanced up at the streetlights.
The lamp seemed to be the same thing as Byron Bian's, and Thor began to wonder about the feasibility of stealing a wave of lamps at the Academy of Magic. Bring it back and sell it for a high price to Braun's old goblin, who is interested in this magical creation.
"You...... You're ......," Cecily turned back in confusion.
I didn't expect that this little mushroom's eyes were quite poisonous, it had been a year, it must have been her original beauty that impressed her, and Saul instantly found the reason.
At the same time that Cecily almost shouted out her identity, Thor had already quickly stepped forward, and under the shocked gaze of Cecily's female companion, he put one hand around Cecily's waist and covered her mouth with the other.
"I'm sorry, this beautiful young lady, I'm Cecily's fiancΓ©, and we usually keep a low profile in order to hide our relationship. I was waiting here today to surprise Cecily of my family, but I didn't expect to be discovered by her. β
Thor bent slightly to salute the unknown woman, and then successfully pulled the egg, instantly dispelling the other party's shock.
"You ...... What family are you from?" The woman seemed interested in Thor.
"I'm going to make you laugh, in Lower Dille Aesop, the little family is not well-known, and it has used up my luck for the rest of my life to be with Cecily. "Sol calmly reported a fake name, just go and check, who have I been afraid of by the halflings on the border?
"Bena, don't listen to his nonsense, I don't have that relationship with him at all. After taking a bite on Thor's hand, Cecily, blushing, finally escaped from the restraint and took the opportunity to shout, and then was covered by Thor again.
"You'd better not get into trouble, or the consequences will be serious!" Thor whispered a warning in Cecily's ear.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Bena Suwel. Bena introduced herself with a smile as she gently tugged at her fingertips and pulled off the white silk glove on her hand, stretching out her small white palm and reaching out to Thor.
This is...... Do you want money?" Thor glared at the little hand for some reason, but soon he noticed that the back of the hand was reaching out.
"It's an honor to meet you. Thor bent down and gently took the little hand and kissed it on the back of the hand, and at the same time gave himself a large handful of blood flan flowers in his heart, because of his witty reaction.
"Or can Mr. Diller and Cecily come to my family's ball tomorrow night?" suggested Bena.
"You know I'm going to help my mentor organize the materials tomorrow, we've talked about it. Cecily hurriedly spoke.
"It's okay, Mr. Diller can have a cosy evening when he comes alone, and it should be lively when the younger generation of many Odrenza families will be in attendance. Bena winked at Thor.
Is this going to force me to do the devil again in the world? It seems that my charm can no longer be suppressed.
"Beautiful Miss Bena, honored to have your favor and invitation. But I'm sorry, people may encounter many happiness in their lives, we can only make a commitment to one of them, I can only live for Cecily for the rest of my life, sorry we missed first. β
Saul saluted Berna goodbye, leaving someone else with an old-fashioned but principled image of a good man, then turned to pick up a shocked and shy Cecily, and half-pulled and half-dragged the little shiitake mushroom into the shade behind the flower-shaped bushes.
"You said you wouldn't harass me again, but you ruined my reputation. Cecily looked at Thor with a sly look.
"I'm swimming in the ocean of knowledge by the light of the streetlights, and it's clear that you're harassing me, okay? As for reputation or something, won't you say that you don't look down on me when the time comes? It just seems that you are noble and fastidious, and can help you drive away a wave of flies. β
"Don't worry, I'm just passing by and disappearing soon, and who will remember who I am when the time comes. Thor waved his hand and turned his head to scan around to make sure there were no eavesdroppers around.
"You dare to show up? Aren't you afraid that someone in the academy will recognize you? There were quite a few students from this academy who attended the dance that night. Cecily grumbled, her face suddenly terrified, as if remembering the nightmare madness of Thor's nightmare.
"Recognize me? Then they can only go to the ancestors in advance. Thor shrugged.
But it's hard to say that since Cecily can remember herself. Thor could only pull out the top mage hat and buckle it on his head, this thing was a match for the robes, but Thor felt stupid and never wore it, and now he was going to cover it up.
"You're here this time...... Isn't it going to be something bad again?" Cecily asked cautiously.
"No, I'm here to do something trivial. Who was that woman just now, and would it affect me?" asked Thor.
"No, she's older than me, she's the granddaughter of the head of the academy, not a cadet of the academy. Cecily shook her head.
Thor nodded, no wonder he wore gloves in an environment like the Academy, which was more suitable for social situations.
"Let's go, go with me somewhere first. Thor turned his head to look around.
"Go...... Where? Leave me alone, I'll keep it a secret for you. Cecily looked pitiful.
What am I going to do to you?" said as if I was going to do something to you, and Thor's face darkened.
"Less nonsense, it's in the academy, you'll know when you get there. Thor turned to leave, and Cecily had to follow.
Then Thor took her to ...... Where is the college's dining room?
"I'm not a student here now, and the estimated cost of the meal has also been canceled, so this meal belongs to you. β
Throwing Cecily at the counter where the food was being picked up, Saul picked up his own food and ran away, ordering an original foie gras with dipping sauce, which was a special dish of the college today.
Cecily was a little speechless, so she could only sit back across from Thor and watch him eat.
Looking at it, she noticed that Thor was eating with passion, or rather a strange way. He wasn't eating fast, but watching him chew on it and make his face show a hard line, Cecily suddenly found herself whetted for an appetite.
"It's not like you've ever come to eat in a place like this, do you?, why don't I get one for you?" Thor asked, glancing up at Cecily, before stopping to eat.
"What's not to eat here, I'm not that delicate, so let's have one......" Cecily blushed a little and whispered, not knowing whether to prove that she could eat the food, or if she was really hungry.
"Is it foie gras, too?" said Thor, standing up and looking back.
"Caviar, the rest is the same as you. Cecily replied, then handed Thor her school badge.
The magic mark on the school crest can pay for food, and Thor's is no longer valid. If he dares to use his school emblem again, let alone eat, it is estimated that there will only be a man full of men to chase and kill next.
Placing the food and school badge in front of Cecily, there was silence between the two of them, eating one bite at a time, occasionally glancing at each other. Cecily suddenly realized that she did have a good appetite, and it seemed that the food in the academy was not so bad.
"When you came to the academy, wouldn't you just ask me to have dinner with you?" asked Cecily during a pause.
"If this is the case, it will be a good life, and I want to ask you to help me a little more. Thor tilted his head.
"Let's hear it. Cecily gave me a look I knew, and wiped her rosy mouth with a silk handkerchief.
"I'd like you to help me find out about Lorna Emilton's whereabouts, besides, if it's convenient, there's a guy named Hodder who seems to have graduated recently, his family and general situation. Thor didn't look up and still ate consistently.
"Lorna, is she...... Your woman?" Cecily looked at Thor before a few words came out of nowhere.
"It doesn't matter, I need news from her, that's all. Thor glanced up at Cecily slightly, then lowered his head and ate, thinking that Cecily might be able to help him, though perhaps unlikely.
The killing at his own dance party ended up affecting Lorna and Chrissy. But at that time, he entered in Cecily's carriage, and there was no reason why the Dark Council could not find out about these pasts, but Cecily was unharmed.
This can only show that Cecily's family status or heritage is much stronger than the Lorna family with twenty-four seats in the Dark Council.
"It was like this last time, and it's like this time, every time, but what do you get for what I help you?" Cecily raised her white arms and looked at Thor with her chin pinched.
"A sum of money, or one or more people who want to kill, preferably the damned kind, that's all I can give you. Thor still didn't look up, muffling and chewing.
"But what if I don't need to do any of this?" Cecily asked, looking at Thor.
Thor pulled out a rag and wiped it around his mouth, then looked up at Cecily with a serious expression.
"Otherwise, let you touch my face. Thor said suddenly.
"Poof~ Who wants to touch your face, don't you have self-knowledge?" Cecily's little face turned red subconsciously, and she hurriedly sneered.
"There's no way around that, I can only give you these three. Thor spread his hands.
