Chapter Ninety-Four: Rachel's Decision
You have a powerful seal in your body, you are a child with the power of light source, and you are born to belong to the Holy See!
As soon as the priestess said this, not only everyone present was shocked, but even Rachel herself was in disbelief.
Liu Ci was not as ignorant as Rachel, and when he heard about the seal, he suddenly thought of Rachel who was obviously eighteen years old, but her stature was stuck six years ago. And the seal that the priestess spoke of, it is not incompatible...... Most of what the priestess said was true, and the seal in Rachel's body not only concealed her qualifications for light source power, but also prevented her from growing and developing.
With the power of light source, she can learn light magic, and she was born in a magical family, and with the support of her family, Rachel will definitely have a good development in the Holy See, and she should have a bright future.
Her relatives, who don't know how to use it, actually sealed the light source power in Rachel's body.
Holy See! They are afraid that the Holy See will find Rachel!
The sealing was to protect Rachel, but now it was discovered by this priestess...... As soon as Liu Ci thought of this, he couldn't help but hold Rachel's right hand.
Rachel was stunned, as if she had forgotten how to speak.
Liu Ci calmed down his emotions for a moment before he said, "Lord Priest said that Rachel has a seal in her body, which surprised me too much. My sisters and I have been dependent on each other since we were children, and I really can't figure out who is trying to harm my sister. The seal in Rachel's body, I wonder if the priest has a solution? β
The words are sincere, and it is indeed a look of caring for his sister.
There was a trace of embarrassment in the priestess's eyes, "I just saw that she had a light source power hidden in her body, and if she wanted to break the seal, she had to get to the Holy Land Harbor and all the priests would work together." β
The priests joined forces? There are also twelve priests of light in the diocese of Amster, and one died last time, and there are eleven left. The priestess meant that she should have asked a higher-ranking figure in the Holy See to take action.
Although he couldn't figure out why the priestess was so enthusiastic about Rachel's seal, Liu Ci was relieved to learn that no one in the diocese of Amster could help Rachel break the seal.
She thought for a moment and said, "The great love of the priest has moved our sisters, Rachel is a little girl who has never seen the world, we should discuss this matter before giving you an answer." β
The priestess didn't like it, she wanted to take Rachel to the Holy Land Port, which was obviously a supreme honor, but Liu Ci repeatedly prevaricated, making her seem to have some bad intentions.
Dean Lilman also relieved himself from his surprise, "Sister Rachel also makes sense, she is going to leave her relatives to go to the Holy Land Harbor at a young age, and it is better for the two sisters to discuss it privately. Rachel, the priest will leave in three days, so you don't have to come to class for these two days, so let's go back with my sister first. β
Abbot Lierman was a tactful man, and his words were acceptable to both the priestess and Liu Ci.
The priestess did not achieve her goal on the spot, and was not very happy in her heart, so she left without caring about what to say.
Dean Lierman and the female faculty gently encouraged Rachel with many words.
Liu Ci tried his best to keep a smile and listen, but he was actually very impatient in his heart.
Fortunately, Izzy Casey spoke up to relieve the situation, "The potion sold by Miss Ci has a remarkable effect, and in just one night, several students are already in much better condition, and I will send someone to deliver the money for the potion to the door." β
The noble magicians were impatient to talk about money, Dean Lierman and the female teacher dared to be interested in this topic, and Liu Ci took the opportunity to apologize and leave.
Liu Ci led Rachel out of Dean Lierman's office building, and she was dumbfounded and let Liu Ci lead her along the way.
At the entrance of the academy, Liu Ci stuffed Rachel into the car, but the coachman did not pull them back to the Moi Tavern.
It turned out that Liu Ci had been delayed in the Magic Academy for too long, Nana and the others packed their luggage, and Lydia found the best hotel in the bustling area of Amster City according to Liu Ci's preferences. The coachman got the news and pulled Liu Ci and Rachel directly to their new residence.
The city of Amster is dry and green, but in the middle of the small building of the new hotel is a flowering garden.
A statue of an elf carved in Dali Temple stands solemnly in the pool, and the water bubbling out of the pool is actually a living spring that is rare in Amster City.
"Miss Ci, you're back. Ah, with Miss Rachel. β
The maid Nana ran up, her tone was lively, and when she saw that Liu Ci's face was not good, she thought that the hotel did not meet her wishes, so she closed her mouth with some fear for a while.
Liu Ci soothed his face and nodded at her, "Miss Rachel is back, and the dishes are richer in the evening." β
Nana breathed a sigh of relief.
The faces of the two young ladies were not relaxed, and after Nana led Liu Ci to her room, she retreated with a very good look.
There was no one left and right, so Liu Cicai let go of Rachel's hand and poured a glass of water on the table to drink. The clear mountain spring water flowed down Liu Ci's throat, and the sense of urgency of burning the fire slowly disappeared, and her whole body really calmed down.
"There's no outsider here now, tell me, what do you think?" With Liu Ci's urgency, she was surprised to be able to endure all the way back from the Academy of Magic.
Mumu's Rachel was awakened by Liu Ci's elevated voice.
She looked at Liu Ci in a daze, and the two lines of tears flowed out without warning.
"Sister Ci, it was the Holy See who harmed my parents!"
In the past, Liu Ci and Rachel were just suspicious, but now the little girl seems to be completely convinced.
It's no wonder that Rachel is suspicious, before the age of twelve, she lived in the Lorentz Manor, her parents were both great magicians and nobles, and she was a raised noble lady.
Overnight, the family was branded as "treason" and all executed, and he also hid in the mage tower for six years before escaping.
Before the age of twelve, there was nothing unusual about her body, which means that the seal in her body was only before entering the Mage Tower, right? It was this seal that made her grow and develop at the age of twelve, how could her parents harm their daughter? It's to save her!
Every child with the power of light will be selected by the Holy See to enter the convent, without exception.
She obviously has the power of light, but she doesn't even know herself. The seal in her body must have been to keep her from the attention of the Holy See...... The divine light shines on the whole continent, everyone flocks to the Holy See, why should her parents keep her away from the Holy See?
There is only one explanation, the Holy See will harm her!
Rachel is not as smart as Liu Ci, but how can a learning genius who has never forgotten be really stupid? All the way from the magic academy to the inn, it was enough for Rachel to figure it out.
Treason is a faΓ§ade, and the real enemy of the Lorentz family must be the Holy See...... It was a change of power in the country, and it was a behemoth that could not stand, and fear and fear made Rachel tremble, but anger also filled the little girl's heart with hatred.
Washed with tears, Rachel's eyes grew darker and brighter.
Rachel, who was trembling with tears, made Liu Ci not know what to say.
When Rachel threw herself into Liu Ci's arms and cried tiredly, she asked, "Now that the seal in your body has been detected by the people of the Holy See, what are you going to do?" β
Rachel's eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were confused.
She hated the Holy See, and she was afraid of the Holy See, and she had a deep hatred of blood, Rachel couldn't be as rational as Liu Ci, and when she heard Liu Ci's question, her mind was really confused, and she didn't know how to answer.
Liu Ci gave her a haircut, and said in an equal and solemn tone, "The priestess will leave Amster in three days and go to the Holy Land Harbor. Rachel, there's not much time left for us to schedule, and you only have two options right now. β
Rachel sniffed, "Sister Ci, you say, I will listen to you which two choices." β
Liu Ci was stunned, this girl really trusted her, which made her hesitate for a while, should she say the second choice?
"First option, I'll arrange for Lydia and Arnold to take you out of Amster City right now. It is best to go to a place where the power of the Holy See cannot be completely overshadowed, such as the town of Gasai in the Hispanic Empire, which borders the Morok Mountains. β
The town of Garse, not only a free trade place for trading magic materials, but also a familiar place for Lydia, has a natural advantage.
On the way to Amster, Rachel heard George describe the town of Garse, and was no stranger to it.
Everything was fine there, except that there was no magic academy, and George used to have to stay away from Gase Town to study in other places. If she had gone to the town of Gase, she would have avoided the Holy See, but she would never have been able to go to school again.
Rachel instinctively shook her head, "Sister Ci, what's the second choice?" β
Liu Ci's face was solemn, and he said word by word: "The second choice is that not only do you not hide, but also follow the Priest of Light to the very center of the Holy See, the Holy Land Port!" β
Rachel's shoulders trembled, Holy Harbor! Sister Tzu asked her to go to the central diocese of the Holy See......
Liu Ci didn't force Rachel to make a choice right away.
That night, under Lydia's inquiring eyes, Liu Ci and Rachel ate the dinner carefully prepared by the cook without saying a word.
Liu Ci ate very much, but Rachel couldn't swallow it, obviously not having much appetite.
The next day, Liu Ci simply went to the Moy Tavern to ask Mrs. Betty about "buying a winery", and no one was at the hotel all day.
On the morning of the third day, seeing that the time agreed with the priestess was approaching, and the genius was bright, Rachel knocked on Liu Ci's door.
Liu Ci had just finished meditating and practicing Qi in the evening, and he was refreshed. Rachel's eyes were blue.
"Sister Ci, I've thought about it, I'll choose the second one!"
It seemed as if it had exhausted all her strength before Rachel said this.
Although Liu Ci had expected Rachel's choice, his eyes were still full of appreciation at the moment. Now that she is away from Emster City, Rachel's new identity can no longer be used, and blindly avoiding it is not an option. As the old Chinese saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
The Holy See wants to find Rachel, whether it is for the Mage Tower, or Rachel herself, and the priestess to go to the Holy Land Port, and turning passive into active is Rachel's best choice.
It takes courage to fight a way out of life under the nose of the Holy See, Liu Citian is not afraid of the ground, but Rachel was a little cowardly in the past. Liu Ci was a little relieved that she could choose the second path, proving that what the little girl said in front of Lorentz Manor before was not empty words.
"Since you have chosen the second path, I have news for you."
Rachel also saw the appreciation in Liu Ci's eyes, which made her more confident.
"Sister Ci, you say."
Liu Ci squinted, "After you left Rhine City, the Marquis of Strave once revealed a piece of news, your mother, the Grand Magician Quirin Cappado...... Probably alive!
