Chapter 33 The Aftermath is Indefinite
July 1733 in the solar calendar, Portnas, the town of Culo
It's been a while since Rhodes came to the town of Kulo. Although it is a poor town, the threat of dragons has not affected it.
These days, every day, the two teenagers get up and do the routine training left by Hopler, and they go together to check the status of the magic guide, and then visit some old friends. The return of the boys brought some vitality to the people here, and Aunt Beauvoir did not hide it in the end, and the boys went to visit her together.
Calvin didn't accompany Rhodes after they arrived, and he stayed in the Adventurers' Guild these days, taking on some daily tasks to help the residents solve their problems, and occasionally going down to church to see if he could help.
It can be said that in this world where dragons are raging, they have a relatively easy life for the time being, except for the occasional pause in Jadrella's operation, nothing else is unusual.
But there is always an end to the days of peace, and when the blue light resurfaces from the teleportation room here, the peaceful life of the three officially comes to an end.
With the special approval of the Vice Dean, and in accordance with the last wish of the Flame Witch, the young mage set foot on the land here.
Today's Kumar is different from what it used to be, both in clothing and in hand-held objects. Compared with the robe she wore at the beginning, the one she was wearing now was obviously much bigger, she was already shorter than ordinary people, and the hem of this dress made her drag directly to the ground, but she didn't seem to care. The staff in his hand is also different from what it used to be, and the top of this staff is inlaid with a red crystal, which seems to be burning with flames.
Walking out of the teleportation room, Kumar made her way to the front desk, and Modrilla saw her "You're forcing yourself down a hard path, kid. Looking at Kumar's dress now, the puppet is a little distressed.
"I've come to terms with this fate, and it's not forced in any way. Kumar's tone of voice was different from how he had felt it before, and even his voice was different.
"Everyone's talents have their own preferences, and she doesn't want you to be so..."
Modrilla wanted to say more, but Kumar interrupted her, "I've accepted her expectations, please don't speculate, Miss Modrella?"
"Okay. Modrilla looked at Kumar, the child was no longer the reckless little mage, she had experienced life and death, despair and pain, her heart had been twisted and deformed in that extreme environment, which would undoubtedly make her grow, but at the same time it might lead her astray. Fortunately, Kumar did not fall into pain and hesitation, but developed to the other extreme, although it is still dangerous, but there should be no accident in Kulo Town, time will slowly let her recover.
"Where's the person I'm looking for?" Kumar had told Modrilla the purpose before he came.
"He's in church, let me call him back. The puppet said and began to draw runes.
"No, you don't. Kumar shook his staff, and the puppet's runes disappeared, "The church is better." Kumar turned around and prepared to go out.
"You don't know the way, and you don't know him. Jasmine stopped her, "You wait a minute, two people who know him will be back soon." β
"I can't wait, he'll always say yes when the name is called, right?" Kumar didn't stop.
"Be patient!" Jasmineira stretched out her hand to Kumar, and a blue magical glow appeared, and the door shut.
"What do you mean, Miss Modrella?" Kumar had to stop when the door stopped, and she turned her head to question the puppet.
"Your injuries from crossing the ranks are not yet healed, I don't worry about you acting alone. Modrilla frowned, and now that there was nothing going on at the front desk, she walked straight out.
"The injury has long been healed, you don't worry about me. Kumar clenched his hand gripping the staff, "You're all like that, I can't show what she's taught me right now, but I'm not so weak that I can't do anything!"
"Nobody says that, Kumar. Jasmine opened her arms and hugged her tightly, "No one, child. The doll stroked Kuma's red hair.
If Kumar could bear it just now, now this hug, the suppressed emotions have finally exploded, and tears wet Modrella's clothes.
"You'll be her best heir, no one will doubt that. You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. The doll continued to persuade the girl.
Then the door opened, and Rod and Lott walked in with strange expressions on their faces, "Why are you shutting, Miss Modrella?" β
Kumar heard someone speak and let go of Modrella, wiping her tears with her back to them before turning away. However, when he turned around, the two sides froze.
"Uh," Rod took a step back, "Okay... Long time no see..."
"Jasminera, did you do it on purpose?" Kumar turned his head to look at the doll, his expression just as he had when he found out he had been tricked by Rod.
"That's what fate does, they know Calvin better than anyone else here, let them take you there. Jadrilla said and shoved her forward.
Lott saw this scene and didn't quite understand, "Modelilah, what's going on?"
"You take her to Calvin, he's in the church, and the rest..."Looking at Lot, the puppet snorted, "Lot, there are some things I hide from you that she is waiting for, I hope you don't blame me then." β
Lot's heart tightened when she heard Modrella say this, and Kumar had already walked up to them at this time, "My name is Kuma, can you please show me the way, sir." β
"My name is Lot. The boy held out his hand to her as he spoke, and he realized that Kumar was dressed really strangely, and that the dress was a little familiar.
"Thank you, Mr. Lotter. Kumar bent down towards him and didn't shake his hand, the sleeves of her dress were too long, and it was inconvenient to shake hands.
"Just call me Lotter. The boy waved his hand and looked at Modrilla again, the puppet had returned to the front desk at this time, "Mr. Calvin is in the church, I'll take you there." But when he finished speaking, he found that Rod on the side had not yet spoken, "By the way, this..."
"You don't have to introduce him. Kumar glanced at Rhodes, "I don't bother to know this kind of scum." β
"Huh?" Glancing at Kumar and then at Rod's current expression, a lot of thoughts popped up in the young man's heart, could it be the two of them... He smiled awkwardly, "Then let's go, Rod, or you take a break first?"
"Is something wrong with Kuruno?" Rhodes asked, ignoring Lot, and instead turned to Kumar.
Glancing at Rhodes again, Kumar didn't answer, "Let's go." She looked at Lot.
"Okay..."Looking at the two of them, Lott was very embarrassed, but when he heard the word Kuruno, he was also very apprehensive, "Let's go faster." At this point, he wished that Calvin would be right in front of him.
After the three of them walked up to the church, Lott was in charge of leading the way, he was very fast, Kumar should not have been easy to wear a robe that was long enough to mop the floor, but she could still keep up with Lot's speed, and Rhodes walked forward five meters away from Kuma.
In this way, they arrived at the church without any problems, during which Lott wanted to talk to him, but seeing Kuma's current expression, he really couldn't think of a topic to talk about, and the young mage looked calm on the outside, but her eyes told Lott that it was not a state to talk about.
The church is three times larger than the original, but the location of the original church has not changed, and the main expansion is the garden and dormitory, and the functional buildings are still in the original place. Lott led Kumar around the church and eventually found Calvin in the expanded garden. At this time, the knight was carrying some fertilizer for the nun to the garden of the white roses.
"Mr. Calvin!" Lott called out to the knight.
"Lot?" Calvin glanced at the three of them, "I'll just move this there." The knight said, taking a breath, yes
Then he opened his legs and trotted all the way to the garden.
"Is he usually so helpful?" Kumar asked Lott softly as he looked at the knight.
"Aren't all clergymen like that?" said Lott with some disapproval.
"Really... He's still wearing armor..."
"Knight, glory and dignity, I don't understand. The boy smiled.
After a while, Calvin ran over and said, "What's the matter, kid, what's wrong with me?"
"Not me. Lott stepped back and let Kumar out, "She's looking for you, Mr. Calvin." β
"You'reβ" Calvin had just noticed the strange mage, and after staring at it for a moment, he noticed that the girl's dress was somewhat familiar.
"Hello, Mr. Calvin, my name is Kumar and I am a mage, and I have news for you. Kumar said, looking at both sides, "Can we talk about this in the Sanctuary?" β
"Okay. Calvin nodded, a hint of unease welling up in his heart.
The four of them soon arrived at the sanctuary, and now there was no one to pray, and the whole hall was just the four of them.
"Have something to say. Calvin's expression was very serious, he had a hunch that the mage in front of him was not good news.
Kumar opened her mouth, but she found that it was not easy to say these words, and as soon as she opened her mouth, all the painful memories in her mind welled up, and the girl's hand clenched the staff, and her whole body began to tremble. She had to close her eyes and not look at everything around her, and the expression on her face became more and more painful. It was as if the words she was about to utter were some evil curse.
"If you're too tired, you can sit and talk. When Rod saw Kumar now, although he didn't know why, the guilt in his heart exploded, and he moved a chair over.
"No need. Kumar waved her hand to say no, and she opened her eyes to look back at Calvin, her eyes already full of tears, "She said she loved you, and she said it before she died." β
When Calvin heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he finally remembered where he had seen this outfit of the girl.
She said... I may not be able to accompany you next year, and I won't be able to do it in the future. Kumar's voice trembled more and more as he spoke.
"Noβ" Calvin took two steps back, then slammed his thigh "No!!sheβ" Calvin choked.
Lot, who was on the side, also understood at this time, he opened his mouth and tried to speak, but he found that he couldn't say anything, the young man raised his head, his eyes closed, and tears flowed down, "May her flame purify everything." β
"I am her inheritor, and the clothes and staff are all inherited from her. Kumar approached Calvin, and then took his hand, and the girl saw that the expression on the man's face was extremely painful at this time, and she couldn't help but close her eyes again, "Mr. Calvin, now please tell me, Witch of Fire, is her effort worth it?"
"She deserves everything I have. Calvin gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling right now, "But I didn't... I didn't..."
Kumar looked at the man, she pursed her lips and lowered Calvin's hand, "Senior definitely won't ask you to give anything for her, she should just want to... I heard a sentence..."
"I love her. Calvin stared at Kumar "Of course I love her...", the man said and hammered his fist on the lectern behind him, and a hole appeared directly on the side of the podium, "Tell me, tell me everything that happened!"
Rhodes was now seated in a chair in front of the Templar, his head hung as he listened to the sounds of crying in the Sanctuary and Kumar's forced composure description. The woman they were talking about, Rod, didn't know each other, but he could feel what this woman meant to the three of them, which filled his heart with unease and sadness.
Originally, for Belice City, because of Modrella's assurance, Rhodes was no longer worried, but now he is extremely anxious, Miss Blunt... Rod thought silently in his heart, please be safe.
