"Good!"

The Pope bowed his head, and there seemed to be a hint of cunning under his gentle smile, but it seemed to be only an illusion, and the old face was still kind and mild, with a warm smile.

Slowly.

"So...... I'll entrust my lovely granddaughter Beatrice to you~"

"What?!"

Chu Lie looked stunned, but the Pope had already turned around and walked to the old knight's side at this time, and when he heard the news, he turned his head slightly, opened his smiling eyes, and looked at Chu Lie clearly.

"Your teacher just agreed, saying that as long as you don't object, I'll let you be Beatrice's swordsmanship teacher."

"And then I asked you again, and you obviously didn't object, did you?"

The old knight on the side looked at the Pope with some unkind expressions, his eyes were as sharp as substance, but the latter's expression remained the same, still maintaining that kind of gentle smile that was almost perfect, looking at Chu Lie Dao.

"I believe that the disciple of my old friend will abide by the creed of knights."

"I trust you to teach Beatrice."

Crash~

With a flick of his sleeves, the old pope sat down next to his old friend, picked up the cup and took a sip gently, with a warm smile on his face, but in the eyes of the old knight, under the gentle appearance, it was clear that there was a smugness that could hardly be concealed.

"Hmm...... I don't know if Knight Chu Lie can agree to the next request. ”

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, and the cup in his hand was gently lowered, and the guardian knight sat upright in his seat, his body straight.

The light gray pupils looked at Chu Lie with earnestness.

"I wonder if you can watch while Your Excellency Knight is teaching Miss Beatrice?"

"I am willing to pay the tuition fees according to the highest specifications."

……………………

After a while, Dylan, who was still wrapped in bandages on his arm, sent Chu Lie out of the courtyard gate, meticulously stroked his chest and bowed down, bidding farewell to Chu Lie with the courtesy of a knight to a teacher, until the figure disappeared into the distance, he slowly straightened up, and there was a trace of waves in his eyes, which had always been as tough as steel.

Wait, I'll get stronger, get stronger......

Get you back.

Inside the house.

The Pope gently stroked the snow-white short beard on his chin and smiled gently: "In this way, it is finally arranged." ”

The old knight on the side was slightly stunned.

"Arrangement?"

"yes...... Arrangement, fateful arrangement. Smiling slightly, the light of the ring on the Pope's finger flashed, and after the space fluctuated, another book appeared in his hand, turning a few pages lightly, and the old man looked at the words on it with a reverent expression.

“…… Under the guidance of fate, the knight of fate and the girl are connected, and in the adventure, this simple teacher-student relationship will eventually deviate in the direction of the unknowable and unpredictable taboo, ah ~ The wheel of fate is rolling......"

The old knight's expression changed from solemn, to dazed, and finally became iron-blue, and the sword roared suddenly, and the knight's sword on the side jumped up, and the pope's expression changed, and he stepped back skillfully.

"What do you want to do?! I'm the Pope!! ”

Crash~

In silence, the sword landed on the book that the Pope was standing in front of him, and the heavy book was split open in an instant, and the pages scattered to the ground like snow, and the black cover that fell to the side cracked, revealing the true appearance underneath————

"Taboo, the story that I had to tell between me and my teacher!! 》

The old knight's face turned blue in an instant.

Zheng !!

“…… I hacked you!! ”

………………………………

Early in the morning of the second day.

Holy City, the Holy See's martial arts arena.

Chu Lie changed into a simple pure white robe, his black hair that had become a little long was loosely tied into a ponytail with a straw rope, and hung down behind him, his young face was clear and beautiful, and he looked like a harmless priest, but the cold air that couldn't help but linger directly smashed this image.

Looking up at the sky that had been completely bright, the face of the demon hunter was still calm and indifferent, but the faint chill became more and more obvious.

A full hour has passed since the time agreed with the Pope and him!

For him, time is really life.

“…… Teacher, do you want me to go find Miss Beatrice, she may be in trouble. ”

Dylan, who arrived early, looked at Chu Lie's face and said.

"After all, she had never practiced swordsmanship before, and it was ...... if she didn't know the way."

"Ah~ sorry, sorry......"

At this moment, a crisp and clean voice came from afar, Dylan was slightly stunned, slightly relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's already here." ”

"The teacher can punish her for swinging her sword a hundred times more."

“…… Well. ”

Gently bowing his head noncommittally, Chu Lie frowned and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and in just a moment, a delicate figure hurriedly ran in from outside, holding a bunch of things in his hands.

Flowers, fruits, and even a piece of barbecue that exudes a faint heat hangs from the elbow.

“…… Are you going to the morning market? ”

"Huh?!"

The cold voice sounded in the girl's ears, and the girl was slightly stunned at first, then looked at Chu Lie and sighed softly, and stretched out her right hand to point at Chu Lie.

His face was full of panicked surprise.

"You, you...... You're not that ......."

Seeing that the piece of barbecue with hot air was hanging on the girl's arm and dangling in front of him, Chu Lie slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, his face was calm, and the sheathed knight's sword turned around in the palm of his hand, and then directly picked up the piece of barbecue, and with a slap of the horizontal sword, the barbecue crossed a curve, and then fell to the side, and was caught by Dylan who smiled bitterly.

Brush~

The knight's sword turned around, but it was not unsheathed, pointing at the girl who was a little helpless, and Chu Lie's voice sounded unhurriedly.

"That's right, it's me...... You save people, but at the same time. ”

"It's also your swordsmanship teacher this month."

Groan~

With a low groan, the scabbard of the knight's sword slowly slipped down, revealing the shiny blade.

"Beatrice, is she? Come on and let me see how good you are. ”

"Huh? Good...... Okay~"

Stunned for a moment, the girl carefully put the things in her arms on the ground on the side, and then took out the moon-white long stick from her back, holding the stick in both hands, the girl looked at Chu Lie seriously.

"Well, then I'm coming!"

“…… I remember that I was going to teach swordsmanship. ”

The long sword in his hand was humming slightly, and his voice was still quiet, I don't know if it was an illusion, and it seemed to add a little coldness.

"Huh? That's ......"

At this moment, Dylan's gaze on the side casually swept over the moon-white long stick, his expression was stunned, and then he stared at the runes on the long stick.

"The ?!! of the Pillar That Doesn't Fall"

Chu Lie, who was holding the sword, frowned slightly, the memories in his mind were turning rapidly, and a bright color gradually appeared in the depths of his pupils.

The pillar that does not fall –

The first inheritance of the Holy See, held by the first pope, led the people to find the pure land in the demon tide, representing the weapon of perseverance and unyielding meaning, claiming that as long as the inner consciousness is enough, even if the holder is only a mortal, it is enough to show the power that is not inferior to the sage.

The pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the girl who pursed her mouth and looked solemn, and the long sword in Chu Lie's palm hummed slightly-

Is there no way to use this power perfectly, so does it need to be taught?

Buzz~

The blade of the sword swollen, and the sharp energy cut a sharp crack in the ground.

That is, a battle with the Sage?

Can't ask for it!
