"Gas, Gas?"

A soft female voice rang in Gastens's ears, a beautiful voice, but somewhat unfamiliar. Gastens woke up from the chaos, listened to this somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice, and suddenly thought of Daisy again. He suppressed the pain in his heart and opened his eyes, only to see someone who surprised him a little.

"Luna?"

"Well, it's me."

Luna, who sat next to Gastens 's bed, wore the same gray military uniform as Daisy, but the placket and chest area had been trimmed again to highlight her figure. The girl saw that Gastens was awake and smiled softly.

"Why are you here?"

Gastens sat up, a little unaccustomed. In this world, Luna used to be the top part of the people, and he is the so-called "scum" living at the bottom of society, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a person. There wasn't much in common between the two, and the only girl who could connect them had passed away yesterday. Gastens looked away from Luna and out the window. In the evening, the sun had turned yellow, shining on the ground through the window frame, warm. I don't know who opened the window of the office, and the wind blew in through the crack, although there was still some summer restlessness, but it was unexpected and not irritating.

"I heard, Daisy isn't here", Luna got up, turned and walked to the table, her back to Gastens. The silver spoon in her hand collided with the bone china cup with a tinkling sound. She's making tea for Gastens, using what she's learned from the very top of this society, "Zink said you need someone to accompany you, and I want to ask you about that magic, so I came here." ”

"Magic......"

Gastens was a little stunned. Yes, this girl is the first apprentice from the Sanction Mage Tower, and when she saw that she had released a thundercloud storm, she said that she was not curious, it must be abnormal. On the contrary, she was able to tell herself her purpose so directly, which made Gastens have a better impression of her.

"Well, magic."

Luna turned, holding the tray with two delicate bone china cups on top of her hands, and she sat lightly beside Gastens, carefully controlling herself not to touch Gastens's body, and placed the tray between the two. Then, with her left hand, she picked up the small tray under the bone china cup on the large tray, held the cup to her mouth, opened her mouth slightly, and blew gently. The dusky sunlight of the evening slanted on her face, reflecting those fine fluff into gold, which looked extremely cute. Gastens looked at the girl with a hint of admiration and picked up the cup of his own.

"I've always disliked expensive tea ......"

Although he admired the picture of the handmaidens at sunset, Gastens emphasized his attitude. His habit of drinking black leaf tea has been cultivated since the first life, even if he has seen countless delicious drinks on the earth, even after becoming a magister, he has also come into contact with countless top teas in this world, but he can return to his starting point, even if he has experienced a lot, but he finally found that his favorite drink is still the simplest and cheapest black leaf tea.

Luna didn't speak. She just tasted her tea carefully, and tasted the tea leaves in the cup with the world's top etiquette. Gastens was infected by her concentration and looked at his teacup as well.

"Black leaf tea?"

He looked up at Luna in some surprise, wondering why she used such high-end tea utensils and etiquette to brew the cheapest tea leaves. Luna had just tasted her tea, frowning slightly, apparently not tasting as good as she had thought. Seeing Gastens looking at her, the corners of Luna's mouth curled slightly.

"Daisy told me that you like this tea the most."

Hearing Luna mention Daisy, Gastens fell silent again, and the girl sitting across from him, although beautiful, was not the same revolutionary partner as he was. He sighed softly, lowered his eyes, took a sip, and began to taste the cup of tea in silence. That cup of the cheapest tea brewed with the finest etiquette.

"Gastens", Luna put down her cup, not hiding her resistance to the tea, "Are you the archmagus?" ”

Unaware that Luna was so direct, Gastens almost choked. He began to be a little unhappy with Zink's arrangement. He is not a man who has never seen the world, and he is not a man who has not experienced women. When Daisy had just died, Luna had been brought over, and he could probably guess what Zink was thinking. Only, is this what a revolutionary comrade should do?

Gastens didn't reply at the first time, and Luna wasn't in a hurry. She looked at Gastens and watched so quietly, with a slight smile on her lips. The sunlight cast shadows on her face and stained her long hair red. Although she didn't wear makeup, her well-groomed face glowed with a stunning beauty in the sun thanks to her already beautiful face.

Sighing inwardly, Gastens put down his teacup and looked directly at the girl sitting in front of him.

"I'm not a Grand Magus, so you shouldn't think too much about what you don't have. The Third Great Wave has arrived, and the silence of magic is a historical trend that is inevitable. I was lucky enough to cast my magic once, but I could only do it once. Thank you very much for your robes yesterday, it saved Elena. ”

"I'm glad I could help," Luna said, getting up and walking to the window to look out at the plaza below, "but I didn't expect you to be able to activate that robe, unleashing the forbidden spell of the Scepter Mage's Tower." If I didn't know about your past, I'd have suspected that you were someone from the Scepter Tower. ”

"That's the magic of the Scepter Mage's Tower?" , Gastens knowingly asked, the affairs of his last life were highly classified and must not be known to the people of this world. So, he could only pretend that he didn't know anything about the magic, "I just knew that I could cast a forbidden spell once, but I didn't know that it was the ...... of the Scepter Mage's Tower."

"It doesn't matter," Luna said, standing by the window, looking sideways at Gastens and smiling, "Like you said, the Third Great Wave has arrived, and the trend of mana being silent cannot be changed. Whether it is me or that robe, it is already an old object abandoned by history. I'm so happy that you can make that robe work again, and let me see the glow of magic again in my lifetime. So, it's not that you should thank me, but that I should thank you. ”

Gastens chuckled twice, and was about to speak, only to find that Luna had already opened the door, "I still have classes in the evening, and the students of the night school today must be eager to hear how I, the former first apprentice, explain your magic." What, is there anything you want to tell me? ”

Gastens was stunned for two seconds, waving his hand casually.

"Whatever, tell them that I'm not a Magister, and that magic can't make a revolution win. The rest, you look at it and say. ”

Luna nodded, pushing the door open. The smile on Gastens watched the girl disappear, and the smile on his face faded. When he was left alone in the office again, the loneliness of losing Daisy came over him in an even more violent way.

————————————

Leaving Gastens office, Luna and Zink, who were waiting nearby, had a brief conversation before leaving. She bit her lip lightly, left the factory with the same steps as usual, walked through Chaoyang Square, walked under the pyroxene lampstand set up for the carnival last night, walked through the fields, and returned to her dormitory in the first liberation area. She stood in the doorway and hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed the door open. The evening sunlight poured in with her movements, illuminating the empty room.

Mellen and Ravielle are still at the factory and have not returned. Luna reflexively closed the door, closed the curtains, blocked out all light, and sat on the edge of her bed in the dark, shivering uncontrollably. Her tremors were so violent that she couldn't even restrain herself from holding herself tightly. Waves of fear rushed towards her in the darkness, each wave, with Daisy's face on it.

"Please...... Leave me alone......"

A slight, barely discernible voice rang out in the darkness, followed by Luna's soft sobs. It was a long time before she was quiet again.

Last night, Luna nearly killed herself when she saw Gastens unleash that forbidden spell in front of her. What she thought she had lost forever, what she had missed forever, was always by her side! And she, stupidly, believed the words of that bastard of Martinez and killed the lover of an archmage!

When the white lightning fell from the sky, Luna always felt that the next lightning bolt would strike her. She was extremely longing and nostalgic for the old days, but she used her stupidity to completely isolate herself from a great magister, and even became his enemy.

Luna Brewster, how stupid are you to cooperate with Martinez and kill Daisy?

After an initial period of surprise, breakdown, and despair, Luna finds herself on a path from which there is no turning back. She couldn't let go of the opportunity to get close to an archmage again, and she couldn't let the possibility of regaining her former glory slip away from her. So, even if Daisy, who dies in her arms, turns into a demon and haunts her every day, Luna still has to do everything she can to get close to Gastens, get acquainted with Gastens, and then make Gastens fall in love with her.

She's lost once, and she's already known what it's like to lose. So, she definitely won't lose it again. Even if it would drain all of her ego and even burn her to ashes. She won't let go.

Not for anything else, just because she once fell from the highest place and saw the truth of this world. It's just that she has really seen the truth of this world, only strength, only power, can allow her to have everything and get everything.

Gastens says he's not the Grand Magus, and Luna doesn't know if it's true or not. But the man who had just unleashed a complete forbidden spell in front of her was the closest bridge to her former glory. So, even if what Gastens said was true, even if he could no longer cast magic, Luna would not easily give up the one in 10,000 possibility. In the countless magical histories she had read, there were many bad Magisters who pretended to have no magical powers, and pretended to be years or even more than ten years. Luna doesn't know if Gastens is such a person, but Gastens is her last hope compared to the others.

After sitting in the dark for a long time, Luna stabilized herself. She was still quite satisfied with her actions today, a man like Gastens was born at the bottom and had never seen much of the world, and she was confident in her appearance, definitely above that Daisy. As for Gastens and Daisy's relationship, Luna is not worried. A man is a creature that largely uses the lower half of his body to think, and a dead woman is no threat to her.

Thinking of this, Luna chuckled softly. Once at the Mage's Tower, she spent a lot of time figuring out how to please Luke. And now, it's just a matter of reusing her experience for once. If all goes well, if all goes well, if she can get close to Gastens and conceive Gastens before she finds out about killing Daisy, then she can cross that darkest river and find her own peace.

And this, it seems, is not difficult for Luna.

Luna gets up from her bed, pulls back the curtains, and looks out at the dim daylight. She was quiet for a while, found her teaching card, grabbed the dishes and chopsticks, and planned to go to the cafeteria to eat something. After that forbidden spell, Elena's days were still long, and she was going to stay with Elena for a long time, long enough for what she wanted to happen.

So, there's no need to rush.

————————————

Just as Luna was standing by the window, thinking about her future, Jon Wright, the commander of the First Regiment of the Western Military District, finally received the news he had been waiting for for a day.

Elena's leader, Garstens Warren, unleashed a forbidden spell when faced with the twin attacks of the Negru Republic army and the army of Prince Eliot. That spell killed all of the Negru troops who entered the Plains of Elena, as well as Prince Eliot and his three guards. According to the scouts who were urgently dispatched, the scene that Elena's soldiers and civilians did not have time to clean up was terrible. Under that all-destroying magic, there was no longer any possibility of finding the body of Prince Eliot.

"It's already like this, what are we going to do?"

John Culkin, chief of staff of the First Legion, stood in front of the sand table, looking at Elena with small flags and frowning. He could never have imagined that Prince Eliot's almost perfect plan would be defeated by a magic.

"What else can I do?" Jon Wright put the information in his hand on the table, "That's the Grand Magus, and our only option is to leave the province of Enspenn before his anger burns against us." ”

"I see."

John Culkin nodded, hesitated, and added.

"Prince Eliot's death, you can't blame us, can we?"

Jon Wright glanced up at John Culkin and said with a wry smile, "It's not that you don't know how much Your Majesty thinks of this son. We are not to blame for this, after all, no one could have imagined that Gastens was an archmage. But do you think Your Majesty would think so? In his view, our failure to accompany his son to his death is our greatest sin. ”

John Culkin's expression darkened when he heard this. And outside their headquarters, the first night after the August 2 massacre had quietly arrived.
