Text Volume 1 Admission Chapter 12 The Cat and the Back
The atmosphere in the room was far less tense than Eliza thought, more like a reunion of old friends, and the topics they talked about were a little distant, and from their conversations, Eliza learned that the two graduated from the same university.
Think about it, too, there are not many B+ level powerhouses, and it is inevitable that they will meet a few times when they are fighting the demons together, maybe they are still good friends, but they just went to college with a cat? Although in the main world, everything is possible. But this situation is too strange.
After a short chat, they began to talk about the current situation. "Bella, you're still the same, so addicted to foreign objects, but this cat is really very real, and it's really rare to be a puppet as a parasitic soul. ”
Bella didn't respond to this, but just mocked Eric in a different way, "You haven't changed much, you joined the church many years ago and still haven't changed at all, and when I get closer to you, I feel a stubborn and rigid atmosphere coming to me, and it's better for this junior brother of mine to be better in this regard." ”
"Teacher Ilian's vision is obvious to all, you can see it from Bella, not to mention your little junior brother, Teacher Illion has just entered Winterfell and accepted such an excellent student, which is also amazing! ”
Bella also didn't want to answer the question, didn't want to reveal too much information. So he shifted the discussion to a more practical direction, "Well, so what? What does this have to do with our conversation now, you're still as insincere as you used to be." ”
"The word sincerity is really not good for me, I think piety is more suitable, and I think the 'Lord' also values this very much, isn't it?"
"I don't believe in religion, and I don't want to talk to you about your 'Lord' or anything, let's talk about it, you have to apologize to my junior brother on behalf of your subordinates, this matter is over, otherwise it will not be over, in the end, I don't want anyone to die because of this. ”
Eliza pulled the corner of the master's clothes on the side, signaling the master to consider the matter of the injured subordinates, but Eric showed a look of indifference, "It should be their honor to die for the Lord, I don't think this is a bad ending." ”
"Okay, stop acting, no matter who it's for, I don't really care. It's just one thing, don't trouble my junior brother anymore, it's my old friend Bella who is chatting with you now, and next time there is such a thing, it's the magician Bella. "Sure enough, when I meet such a pedantic person, I can't speak well.
Ekri saluted, "Then thank you old friend for your tolerance, I will restrain my subordinates well, and there will never be something like this." ”
"Well, it's good that you know, I'm still easier to deal with, if the teacher comes to you next time, it's not as easy to say as it is now, you know, he's always been a competent soldier, not a qualified educator. ”
"Next time, I won't send you off. The cat wagged its tail and found a cozy corner on the ground and nested in a mess, as if it did not want to communicate any further.
"Thanks for reminding me, I understand this, this time it's our time, and there will be a grand ceremony in Winterfell in a while, and I hope you can be here then. With these words, Ekri finally began to take care of the lives and deaths of these subordinates in front of him.
Most of them had flesh wounds, and only a few of them had internal organs, even during the chatting time, he was still paying attention to the situation of these subordinates, secretly receiving the holy light to treat these people, and now their lives are not in danger.
In the end, Bella still showed mercy, the hand was not so heavy, and the proportion was just right, if it was a little heavier, these people would have to lose an arm and a broken leg even if they were saved. At that time, he had to face this old friend, after so many years, it was really hard to say who would die and who would live, and after taking a deep look at the cat nesting on the grass, Ekri quickly left here with everyone.
Although so many people left, the blood on the ground still remained on the grass, and it was still a mess. The blood stains left on the blades of grass flowed down the gap between the grass stalks, gradually disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, they were absorbed cleanly, and with a 'bang', many elemental fragments suddenly exploded in the empty space, crystal like snowflakes in winter, this is a phenomenon caused by the shattering of the magic array, a huge magic array spread nearby, without the support of energy, collapsed and collapsed.
It was the enemies who had just been on the ground that provided enough energy for this huge magic array, and with the help of their essence blood and the magic elements in the vicinity, it was possible for it to function normally. If there is any change in Ikeri just now, these people will be drained of blood and magic elements at the first time, and become the key to completely drive this magic array, there is no possibility of survival, with the help of the school array, even a strong person like Ikeri will be trapped here, and the rest is how to consume the enemy, the cat has an excellent talent in this area, and Bella also has it.
But this old friend apologized kindly, admitted his mistake, and his attitude was sincere, whether it was acting or true feelings, he gave Bella enough face, and Bella didn't care about the authenticity, as long as there was one, this matter would be over for the time being.
And now that the sun is so good, the temperature is so suitable, and it is really sorry not to sleep in such good weather, Bella moved her position on Tris, found the most comfortable place, and continued her nap.
After a long circle and a lot of effort, Eric finally took everyone out of the school, and immediately sent personnel to take the wounded to the hospital for treatment. Along the way, Eliza and Eric seemed very quiet, and the two did not communicate much. By the time the two of them came to the gate of the hospital and prepared to go home separately, it was already night.
"It's not early, I've already booked dinner, let's come along, Eliza. ”
"Yes, teacher. Eliza replied so briskly, as if today's events had not affected her.
In Eliza's memory, Ike would often take her out to dinner, and whenever this time came, it was when Eliza was happiest.
Many years ago, Eliza's mother died tragically during a mission, and Eliza lost her only support. Young Eliza was placed in the church, where there were ordinary children, and whenever it was time to eat, Eliza, who had a weak personality, could not snatch the other children, often did not have enough to eat, her hair was yellow, and she was very thin.
The first time I saw Ikeri was at dinner time, and Eliza was eating her portion as usual, when suddenly a tall shadow appeared in front of her, and asked her softly, "Have you eaten enough?" Before Eliza could react, he continued, "I'm Eric, your mother's friend, and I'll be your guardian and teacher from now on. ”
Since then, Eliza has had an only relative.
Ekri didn't come to see him often, but since then, Eliza's life in the church has changed dramatically, no one will bully her anymore, and the daily meals have become very rich, in addition, she has a full-time teacher to teach her to study, she enjoys everything that rich ladies can enjoy, and every time Ekri comes back, he always takes her out to eat and talk to her, and she is always very happy at this time.
In the restaurant, Eliza is without her usual liveliness, the whole dinner is down, the atmosphere is a little quiet, after eating, looking at Eliza's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Ikeri sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and said: "Now is an opportunity, if there is anything you want to ask, just ask, after asking, I still have something to deal with." ”
"Why did the teacher give up this opportunity today? At that time, I felt that the teacher was going to rush forward in the next second, and you know better than anyone else about the control of timing. ”
"Frankly, I wasn't sure, so I backed down. ”
"Not sure? Teacher, you're but... Eliza spoke a little hurriedly, not believing her ears.
"But what, child, you just don't know Bella as a person, listen to me tell you, in my impression, Bella Audair is an all-rounder, and a genius, at that time in our day, she was a star shining in all directions, and now people know very little about her, mainly because she is too eccentric and addicted to all kinds of strange research, and her body and mind are a little different from ordinary people. But it would be foolish to despise her for this, and I always felt a strong hostility floating around in that place, but I didn't find the source of danger, which was the main reason for my evacuation. ”
"When she was a student as the school's executive commissioner, because the methods were too cruel and poked out a lot of big baskets, Professor Illian began to serve as her mentor, trying to restrain her behavior. And now that Mentor Ilian isn't in Winterfell, and at school, I'm not absolutely sure I'll be able to beat her, so don't take any chances. ”
"That's the end of this mission, you don't have to blame yourself too much for today's events, this is beyond your ability. ”
"You don't have to worry about the magic books for the time being, I'll explain it to you in this mission report, and while it's not too busy these days, you go and take a break, and when the festival comes, you just don't have time to rest if you want to. ”
"Okay. Eliza nodded, very well-behaved.
Eric stood up and faced Eliza, "As I said today, it is our honor to die for the Lord, but I don't want you to end up being one of them, and I promise your mother to take good care of you." I'll be talking to those people lately to make your job easier. ”。 Pushing open the door, he walked out of the restaurant, and there was a light snow in the sky, and the snowflakes had melted away before they could fall on his shoulders. Eliza sat in the dining room, watching him walk farther and farther away, his back still as tall as before.
