Chapter 401: The Eve of the Exchange Meeting
The loss of his kindred was nothing to grieve for Lobelin, but his mother was painful. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Qianlin's mother always said that as long as the Onmyoji family is still there, then the wish to go home can be fulfilled one day, and for her, the family is the existence of the country. But now the only people in this world except Lin have left her overnight, and she can't even perform sacrifices for them, and she doesn't even know how they died.
After that, Lin's mother locked herself in the house all day, sometimes only once a week. The servants of the family would write to Luo Beilin every two days to tell Luo Beilin about the situation at home, but Luo Beilin could not leave the academy at all, and in just half a year, one day the family finally sent a white card to tell Lin the news of his mother's death.
"Bane, am I ruthless?"
Lin was at his most relaxed when he was in the Space of Light, isolated from all the distractions of the outside world, only him and his magic.
"Closing yourself off doesn't mean you're ruthless, but it doesn't mean you're brave either."
Bane carefully drew the circle on the walls of the room with a talisman pen.
"Do you think I'm running away from the fact that my mother is dead?"
Lin curled up under the windowsill and buried his head between his legs.
Bane stopped what he was doing and crouched down, the soft light reflecting a young face. Bane, who wore a hood and spell mask all the time in the carriage, felt a little epiphysical, and his gray hair exposed outside the brim of his hat made him look a little old. But only Lin knows that this man who is connected to his magic has a young face that is not lost to him. During his time at the Academy, Bane never took off his mask, which seemed to have become one with his body. It's only when he's in this unique space that he takes off the mask, so the outside world still calls him the Mask Magician.
"Lin, you look at my face, you always knew what I was after. Everyone should make a positive effort for what they are pursuing, and only by doing so can you get the rewards you deserve. I have what I want all my life, and you deserve it, and you are too young to live in such despair. Aren't all onmyoji the ultimate warlock who crosses life and death? In your life your mother, your people are immortal, they are all with you, they have never disappeared. ”
Bane pointed at Lin's chest, and a white ball of light swelled from his fingertips.
"This is the remnant of the spell in your body, it is excess energy, I can separate it from your body so easily, but I can't get those memories of you out of it anyway."
"I know, I know what you mean. Bane, I'm fine, I'm not an orphan who lost everything, I still have my sister, and you, aren't I? ”
Lin swept away the gloom before, got up and said,
"Bane, it may be a long time since we came out this time, and you don't seem to have said goodbye to your sister."
"She doesn't need me to say goodbye to her."
Bane seemed to be about to return to his appearance of not saying much, and Lin naughtily pulled the corner of his clothes on the side,
"It's because you promised her that you would bring me home safely, that's why you said that, didn't you?"
“......”
After Bane finished drawing the circle, he looked sideways at Luo Beilin, who was full of anticipation beside him,
"Your Shikigami is back."
There was indeed the sound of wings fluttering outside the window, Luo Beilin opened the window with a disappointed face, and the white Shishen bird flew in leisurely, turning into a blank piece of paper with a 'bang' in Luo Beilin's palm. It's just that this time there seems to be something written on the paper.
"You guessed right, Xiaobai said that there are only a few of us in the executive court, and there are no other scholars, it seems that the exchange meeting is indeed just a front."
Lin hid the piece of paper in his sleeve and said angrily.
"We're not going to practice tonight, and we're going to tell your sister safe when we get back to our room, because tomorrow we're going to be very busy."
Back in his room, Lin threw himself on the soft bed. took out another piece of white paper from his sleeve, took out a pen and wrote a few words on it.
- Sister, Bane said that he must give you peace, I think he must miss you, and I am embarrassed to say it. We're fine, don't read it! Lin, who practices diligently, and Bainliu, who is cool and doesn't like to talk.
The ending also depicts a cute little squirrel and a silent dumb hippopotamus. The letter written on the bed, the handwriting was crooked, but Lin was very happy, folding the pieces of paper into the shape of a bird, Luo Beilin silently recited the incantation, the bird slowly flapped its wings, nodded slightly at him, and flew out of the window awkwardly.
The courtyard was silent, except for Bane's room, which was still lit, and the lights were out, and the girls seemed to be asleep.
"Bell, bell, bell."
The sound of the bell echoed in the courtyard, and the sky was still dark, but it was already morning. Alan's library was closest to the clock, and he rubbed his fluffy red hair and slowly sat up from the couch.
"Your Highness Allen, the toiletries have been prepared for you, please come with me."
A girl dressed in a maid's costume stood a meter away from Allen at some point, and was bending down to salute at this moment.
"Uh-huh....."
Without bothering to study how she knew she had slept all night here, Alan stretched, got up, and left the library with the girl.
After washing up, Alan came to the dining room, where Ellie and Lin were sitting together, happily eating breakfast, and Katina and Bane were still nowhere to be seen.
"Good morning, Ellie, Lin."
"Good morning, Alan."
"Alan, didn't you go back to your room last night?"
Ellie handed the milk to Alan and began to spread jam on the bread.
"Well, I walked around the yard and fell asleep on a chair in the yard."
Alan didn't want Lin to know that he went to the library, since he wanted to hide it, he must have his own reasons, and Alan didn't want to make him feel that he was being suspected before Lin himself said it.
"It's so cold at night, why did you sleep in the yard? Taihu is coming. ”
"I have sent a blanket to His Highness, there should be no problem, His Highness is still young and in good health."
It was Chief Deacon Joe, who had been on standby, who had been on standby, and Alan looked at him gratefully and nodded.
Hearing Joe say this, Ellie didn't ask any more questions, she handed the bread to Lin, and began to prepare it for Eren again.
"Ellie is like a mother."
Lin chewed the bread and said slurredly.
"It's my sister, how can Ellie be that old."
Katina had changed into a knight's outfit, and her hair was tied up in a ponytail, looking very energetic.
"I think what Lin means is that Ellie feels like a mother to him, very gentle."
Alan added with a smile. (To be continued.) )
