When Ferrante stood outside Sears again, he was much more mature than he had left, and he had learned a lot along the way, but more changes began on that night at the Ivos factory.

More than a dozen members of the Gewu Society with powerful weapons and abilities were killed by him, but afterwards he didn't have the mentality that he should have for the first time to kill, as if everything was a habit in his bones.

Like Cassia, he also buried many things in his heart, such as his indifference to corpses, such as often dreaming that he was a general and killed bloodifully on the battlefield.

Once those fragments appear, they will be firmly rooted in the mind and linger.

The winter in Sears was short-lived, and while the Kaeya Empire was still in the midst of a snowstorm, the sun had already begun to appear here, and ice picks hung upside down on the eaves, making the whole city wet.

The use of the steam engine allowed the industry of coal and steel products to grow, and there was a large coal mine in the mountains behind Sears, which made the Duchy of Solan very convenient.

Unlike Evos City, where the streets are always clean, this is also a stone road, but it is always dirty with mud and cinders.

With the creaking of his feet, Ferrante walked into the city in silence, and instead of going home, he first came to the slums of the West Side, and before parting, Soster gave him the key to his house, and told him to use it if he needed it.

With a thick scarf covering his face, Ferrante walked into Sost's house, into the basement, and looked at the room full of magical objects and funerary objects, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

A little tired, that was his first feeling.

The weapon that could shoot metal bullets in the hands of the Gewu Society, the doom of the old man Scarborough, the numb gaze of the people in the ghetto, and the dreams that haunted him.

Ferrante always felt that she had to do something, not just to tell her father, but to do something about this rapidly changing, increasingly vibrant world.

But what to do, he didn't know, since he was born for more than twenty years, almost all his energy was focused on books, and he never thought about other paths.

The time went from noon to night, Ferrante opened his eyes and smiled with some satisfaction, God forbid, he didn't dream this time.

Packing up his things and wrapping his scarf, Ferrante cautiously walked towards his own house in the East End.

The Duke's Mansion was still brightly lit, and the old butler stood at the door to greet Duke Roy, and Ferrante smiled again and stepped inside.

"Less...... Young Master!"

The exclamation of the old butler made Duke Roy, who had just taken off his coat, turn around, and look at his son, who suddenly appeared and had not seen him for a long time, his eyes changed with a complicated expression, and his anger flashed away, and turned to a soft gaze.

Not caring about the dinner in the dining room, Duke Roy nodded: "Come to my study." ”

......

The warm coffee had bottomed out, and Ferrante put down her cup and waited quietly for her father's inquiry.

From the cause of the death of the Sears pauper, to Sost's magic scroll, to the events in Evos City, and finally to Scarborough's observations, he told the story in a timely manner.

There is only one purpose, that is, to convince Duke Roy that this is true, no, and another, the son's honesty to his father, because when he was at the door, the change in Duke Roy's eyes, Ferrante saw it all in his heart.

There was no scolding, no imaginary rage, Duke Roy just smiled: "You have traveled more in this year than I have in my whole life." ”

"Father's ......"

Duke Roy waved his hand: "I have heard about the city of Evos, and His Majesty the King has also heard about it, not only the Duchy of Solan, but also the king of the Kaia Empire and the major churches." ”

"Don't go out these days, the Kaeya Empire is looking for you, although they can't control coming here, but the Kaeya royal family's pressure on Solan continues, you should ...... Take a break. ”

"Alright, let's go down and eat. With that, Duke Roy got up and walked out.

"Father, the ...... of the Academy of Magic"

"I know, after eating, I will go to the palace and report to Your Majesty, rest assured. ”

Duke Roy uncharacteristically did not show any signs of shock, as if he had taken Ferrante's news as a joke.

After the wordless dinner, Duke Roy really left the mansion, and Ferrante's impatient heart slowly calmed down, he didn't know what Cassia was doing in the Great Library at that time, so naturally he didn't expect that the Gewu Society would hunt them down to such a point.

In the palace, Duke Roy was sorry to disturb His Majesty's affairs, but when he told him about Ferrante's return and the news of the Academy of Magic, the King remained silent.

"Roy, don't worry about Ferrante, the Kaia Empire can't control my Solan's people, you can step back first. ”

"Your Majesty, what about the destruction of the world......"

"I know, I'll give you an answer to this matter as soon as possible. ”

There was indifference in the king's eyes, Duke Roy had never seen His Majesty the king with such a look, but he had no choice but to retreat.

When Duke Roy left, the king's fat body leaned on the throne, rubbing his chin with his right hand.

"Magic...... The impact of another world...... Come on, go to the library. ”

......

The capital of the Kaeya Empire, Tria, the headquarters of the Church of Light

The Ancient Bright Pope knelt in front of the idol, quietly listened to the message from the priest behind him about the Evos City Gewu Society, and waved his hand to let him retreat.

"Scarborough, Scarborough ......"

The Pope muttered that the name was only a few words in the Church's oldest texts, and that the Church had secretly searched for traces of magic.

Not only because it was the power of another system, but also because there were few records in the canon that defined magic.

Devil!

Maintaining the light of the world and glorifying the glory of the gods is the purpose of the Church of Light for the world, and naturally it does not allow the revival of evil, let alone ......

The old Pope looked up at the Statue of Light, the crack had spread from his chest to his abdomen at a speed not seen since the Devil had been suppressed.

The world is peaceful on the surface, but in fact it has reached the most dangerous moment.

Sighing helplessly, the old Pope got up and walked out of the main hall, rushing to the Templar station.

Only candles burned in the empty hall of light, when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the stone door of the hall slammed shut.

A black mist spread out from the surrounding corners that could not be illuminated, converging into a tall black figure.

Still unable to distinguish between men and women, as if the voice of the old gear rubbing, the tall figure giggled, and it was so infiltrating at the feet of the gods.

It looked at the identical statue of light, which was identical to Alena, and the black mist around it was like fire.

"Have you seen it? What a great irony, you who represent the light, have you ever thought of today?"

"The light is far away, but your gaze is still too short. ”

As soon as the words fell, the tall figure suddenly looked back, and his gaze passed through countless obstacles and fell into an alley in Tria City.

"He came, and the other half of the keys were gone. ”

The stone gate reopened, and the black mist collapsed with the fearful and desperate shouts of countless people.

......

In the dark alley, Sost opened his eyes and touched the ancient book that sealed Yafanka, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
