Chapter 34: After the Meal
Arrange the three apprentices and the gorgeous magic carriage drawn by the flaming horse.
Helga left alone, standing in front of the familiar Baron's Castle.
Feel the ancient and vicissitudes of the castle.
Bunches of geckos with emerald green leaves crawl all over the castle's side walls.
Stop.
The old man who always had a serious face, combed his gray hair straight, always hugged his young self, and scolded the territorial affairs officials who were not doing well, finally left me?
Has the old man, who always wanted to be himself and marry into a surrounding aristocratic family, finally disappeared?
She couldn't help but ask herself.
Look up and look at this castle that left fond memories as a child.
Inexplicable sadness brewed in my heart.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Edward, who was looking for Helga, spotted the figure of the maiden, and he walked over. Blake, the old butler, silently followed him.
"Sister Helga, what's wrong with you?".
Finding that the girl's mood was a little low, Edward stepped forward softly and asked in a low voice.
"Nothing?" Wiping his face with the long sleeves of the magic cannon, Helga turned around and smiled brightly at Edward.
"The old man is finally gone, and no one is urging me to marry anymore!" As he spoke, he couldn't keep smiling anymore.
"It's a real delight. Isn't it? "The voice has become a little nasal.
The smiling girl with red-eyed eyes in front of him, Edward inadvertently saw a trace of tears left in his eyes and feet.
After all, it's a girl, not as strong as you imagined.
Edward sighed slightly.
He suddenly opened his arms and took the girl in front of him into his arms.
The body of the girl who was suddenly attacked was a little stiff, but it quickly softened in Edward's arms.
Boys and girls hugged each other tightly, dyeing the hot air of midsummer with a touch of warmth.
Blake, the old butler, looked at them with a smile on his side, and an imperceptible silver thread flashed from his body.
Bruce, the magical owl chasing Wilfinch in the sky, was overjoyed to find the girl hugging on the ground, and was about to fly towards his beautiful hostess.
A silver fighting spirit flashed, and our unlucky Lord Bruce, who only felt the beautiful cyan wings on his right side numb, let out a helpless "whin" in the sky in horror, and fell down on the road outside the Baron's Castle in a whirlwind.
Time always flies.
The afterglow of the scorching sun paints the white clouds of the sky with a reddish sunset.
The banquet hall at Baron Hufflepuff's castle was no different from daytime in the light of magic lamps.
On a large long solid wood dining table, almost all the people of higher status in the territory sat together.
"Let's welcome the three outstanding disciples of Earth Elemental Fury, the Mage of the Silver Rank Ring, and Master Todd Reilly."
Edward had already changed out of his white mage robes and put on an elegant and noble gorgeous aristocratic robe, and the old butler stood behind him classically and elegantly.
He held aloft a glass of Valolet wine, illuminated by a magic lamp that reflected the verdant and dreamy colors.
The old baron has been dead for 5 days, and this world has an epic demonic war that sweeps the world every 500 years, so people are used to death, and they don't take it as seriously as the Celestial Empire.
Including Helga, the sad girl at noon, has now controlled her emotions.
Her big bright eyes looked at Salazar, the leader of the three.
"Thank you so much, Lord Edward, and I wish you and your family St. Ann!" (Another name for the Demon Plague War is the Terran Holy War, and wishing the other party Saint Ann in the wizarding world is wishing him a smooth 500-year cycle of the Demonic Plague.) )
Salazar stood up gracefully, and also greeted Edward and the others around him with a glass full of wine.
Don't look at Salazar's thin body and not very handsome, but he is the only magic apprentice from a noble background in the three elementary schools.
The pre-dinner etiquette is finally complete.
Edward nodded.
"Okay, let's get started, and the rest of the links don't have to be so serious."
With Edward's words, the whole scene suddenly relaxed.
The three elementary school apprentices glanced at Helgar with a shudder, and saw that Helga was already talking and laughing with Edward, and suddenly recovered a little of their young heart, picked up the knife and fork on the table, and devoured the big meal in front of them, anyway, there were no outsiders in the home of their teacher's biggest apprentice, Senior Sister Helga. In the past few days, the wind and food and sleeping in the open, and Helga's half-baked outdoor barbecue level, can make them cry.
After the dinner.
Edward, who finally had some time to rest, was about to go back to his room and go to the corner of the main god space to see the magic intelligence program that was still scanning various books in the book mountain, when his lovely daughter Alice.
The old butler Blake stopped him.
"Master Edward." The old butler used his silver glow to isolate the surroundings, and his face at this time was firm and solemn.
"The mysterious thing left by the master is also time to be handed over to you and the eldest lady!"
If the old butler hadn't mentioned it, Edward might not have remembered it for a short time. In the old baron's last life before, the mysterious items that the old butler asked to pick up made Edward very curious.
"That's right!" The old butler then reminded, "And Lily. According to the master, this is also related to Lily's life experience. ”
"Lily's background?" Edward was a little puzzled, Lily was brought back 10 years ago with the old baron who had withdrawn from the battlefield, and according to the old baron, she was a war orphan who had lost her memory.
Although when the old baron was alive, he always doted on Lily as much as he doted on Helga, but in those days, blood and fire were intertwined, war orphans were everywhere, and the old baron who came back from the battlefield brought an orphan, and Edward did not feel anything abnormal.
The old butler nodded affirmatively, he had no children under the paint, and when he proposed to the old baron to recognize Lily as a righteous daughter after he became an official knight in his territory, he clearly felt the old baron's hesitation at that time.
Although he finally agreed, he was asked to teach Lily to fight and fight harshly.
This made the old baron really feel a little puzzled.
・・・・・・
Coming to the familiar basement of the Baron's Castle again, of course, Edward did not open the secret door inside, but only took advantage of this dark environment.
"Edward!" Helga twisted his mage robes and cautiously walked down the stairs at the basement door.
"Why did you ask me here?" She tilted her head and looked at the eerie surroundings.
"Do you want to do that?!" As if thinking of something, Helga clung to the towering height of his chest with both hands.
"No way!" She hurriedly said, "We are sisters and brothers!" He said no, but his feet were motionless as if they had taken root.
Looking at the girl in front of him, who obviously wanted to be crooked, Edward's head was full of black lines.
"Sister!" He said helplessly, "Is it okay to have something serious?" Wait a minute, Uncle Black and Lily are coming. ”
"Oh, they're coming!" Helga was stunned for a moment, and his little face turned red.
"Humph!" She rushed to Edward's side, proudly hammered Edward's shoulder with her hand, and said in pieces: "If you don't make it clear, so that you don't make it clear..."
"Click!"
The door to the basement opened again, saving Edward from being attacked by Helga's jade hand.
Blake, the old butler, and Lily, dressed as a maid, walked in.
"Master Edward, Miss Helgar!"
Lily was a little nervous.
"Don't be too nervous, Lily! Just to tell you something. Edward gave a gentle reassurance.
"Well, Master Edward, Lily won't be nervous!" Lily replied with a wink of her big cute eyes.
"Humph!" Helga hugged her chest to the side and snorted again, she raised her head haughtily, not wanting to pay attention to the little vixen who hooked up with her brother.
Seeing the somewhat awkward atmosphere in front of him, the old butler Blake interjected in time.
"Young Master Edward, please do your best to cut off all the information here!"
Looking at the old butler's serious expression, Edward nodded, and between the golden hair, a team of cute dragon horns quietly appeared.
Helga, who was still wondering, was about to say something.
A spiritual power as magnificent as the sea suddenly bloomed from Edward's body.
Feeling the vast spiritual power that was hundreds of times stronger than himself, Helga widened his slender willow eyebrows and looked at Edward in surprise.
"This is, Silver..." she cried out in surprise.
