As he approached the city of Elba, Carl fell asleep again, and before that, Vincent had been pestering Mr. Bloom behind Carl's back, and he had asked a lot about his demon magic, and Alver listened a lot to it because he was curious. Bloom had kept a serious face, but Elver could tell that he was glad that someone had something to say outside of his job.

"Race magic is not much different from basic general magic, there is no difference between strength and weakness, attribute restraint and the like, except that it must correspond to the race, but at the same time, some people can't learn general magic, but race magic can, and the reverse is not uncommon. Mr. Bloom concluded.

"Then I must be able to learn racial magic," Vincent was pleased, "Seriously, Elver, you and Carl have been able to really participate in actual combat lately, but I'm almost useless and protected all the time, I don't really like that." ”

Alver patted Vincent's arm and comforted him: "I didn't ...... because of it"

"No, listen to me," Vincent interrupted, "I want to stand with you and Carl in any fight, first because we're friends, and secondly because we're a group, and it has nothing to do with whether you care if I'm strong or not, I just want to stand with you no matter what." ”

Alver smiled, "I see you're still sweet-mouthed, Vincent. ”

"I also find that you still joke. Vincent noticed Carl snoring softly and hurriedly lowered his voice, "I used to think you didn't have any sense of humor. ”

It was already evening when they returned to Erba City, Hansa was taken to the hospital for special care, everyone went back to the room to clean up briefly, because there was always a smell of dirty water from the sewer on their bodies, everyone changed into dressing clothes and had some dinner; after that, Teacher Luna used a crystal ball to get in touch with Principal Krent, what he said was unknown, but Carl was called to Teacher Luna's room, Carl came back and said that he was viciously reprimanded, Vincent thought it would be strange not to be reprimanded, and the three children were very tired, but because Alph and Carl were covered with sewer sludge, they came back to clean up brieflyIn the empty bathhouse of the castle, Carl sang to Alfer the song he had sung in the town of Mima, this time not humming, but singing it in its entirety, and told Alph that the lyrics were in the language of the gods, and the lyrics were to the effect that the great dragon god and other creation gods negotiated to protect all beings in the temple.

Alfer and Vincent didn't go out of the bathroom until their washed skin was wrinkled, Carl had to smell Vinson and Elf's hair three times, repeatedly reassuring that there was no smell, the two of them were relieved, Vinson and Carl changed into pajamas, and took a pillow to sandwich Alfer in the middle, and squeezed it into Alver's bed, fortunately, the castle's bed was wide enough, even if three people slept on it, the three children wanted to talk about it before sleeping, but basically they all lay on the bed and closed their eyes.

After a sleepless night, Alfer didn't wake up until the next morning because he was hugged too tightly by Carl, who was half-curled up, his forehead resting on Elf's shoulder, and his right arm hugging Elph tightly.

Alver tried to remove Carl's arm, but as soon as he moved, Carl woke up.

"You're awake. Carl seemed to be sleeping too dazedly and was speaking honorifics.

"Uh...... Wake up......," said Elver, "I'm sorry to wake you up." ”

"No, it's about time to get up, and it seems like I woke you up," Carl woke up quickly, sat up, poured three glasses of water on the ground, and handed Alver one, "I hope it didn't disturb your sweet dreams." ”

"It's just that my arm is a little numb," Alfer moved his arm and took a long sip of water.

Karl leaned against the window, slightly raising the curtain and looking out, "Principal Krent said that we will be heading for Rocco today, I think it is necessary to be vigilant, maybe there will be a team of bandits or robbers from yesterday to stop us." ”

"Because despite yesterday's raid on Hansea's hideout, did rescue come soon and try to take Hanseatic away?" said Elver, putting the cup on the bedside table and getting out of bed.

"That's right," Karl pulled down the curtains, "who do you think would do that?"

"Perhaps it was the Hanseatic associates of the resentful banshee, but by looking at the settlements pictured, you can see that the robbers or bandits in that area should cooperate with each other. ”

"The people of the envelope are poorly equipped," Carl put down his glass as well, "I think it's the mayor of Mema, Count Cartwright." ”

"Just the equipment?"

"Although there are others, but the equipment alone is about the same," said Karl affirmed, "the equipment of the robbers yesterday was not very good, but all the equipment, including the horses, was uniform, and the purpose was clear, that is, to take away the chief of Diru Village." ”

"Human trafficking is very profitable, and they may be able to buy equipment. Elfer pondered for a moment, "But the bandits who suddenly appeared yesterday are indeed too abnormal, and they quickly received the news and quickly determined the location of Hansea, and someone in Erba City definitely reported to them, and the location of Hansea's escape was also agreed in advance." ”

"So you have to pay attention to it today, no matter what. ”

"yes," Alver sighed, "I hope it's not a hard fight." ”

"If it's just the level of the bandits from yesterday, we can definitely deal with it, don't sigh, call Brother Vincennes, it's almost breakfast." ”

The lord of Erba City provided two carriages, and did his best to provide the necessary supplies along the way, and even gave a large sum of money as a "reward for clearing the underground casino in Erba City", Mr. Bloom as a butler sent everyone out of Erba City and accompanied him for a short distance, Vincent asked for Mr. Bloom's contact information, saying that he was very interested in demon magic, and hoped to write to him in the future, Mr. Bloom still had a poker face, but still quickly wrote his address to Vincent.

Since it was a return trip, Hansea's wounds were in good condition, and everyone could hurry slowly, Karl ran to ask Teacher Luna for a long time, and Teacher Luna agreed to return the way Carl came, so that Carl could reverse the horse he brought out of the school step by step.

While traveling to the checkpoint at the junction of the Terrans and Demons, Elph received a strange letter, the wax seal was a smooth piece without any emblems, but Elph quickly confirmed where the letter came from in the scent of the envelope.

The aggressive aroma of pepper, licorice, sandalwood and white pine is addressed by the Countess of the town of Shima.

The letter was strewn with water marks, and Elph thought that the Countess had wept a lot when she wrote the letter, which read: "My child, receiving this letter means that you have found Hanseatic and returned from Erba, in any case, please remind your teacher to protect you and Hansea, my husband has decided to take revenge on you, and soon after you have passed the checkpoint, you will soon be confronted with a fake gang of thirty thieves, and the reason I tell you is that I am tired of the mad life." I wrote to His Majesty the Emperor exposing my actions with my husband, and after my captivity, I wish to see you, and I pray that you, my child, will give me a chance to atone for my sins. ”
