Chapter 41: In the Storm
——I wish all the children in the college entrance examination all the best, and it is most important to maintain a normal heart.
Also, please ask for a monthly pass, and you're going to fall out of the top 30.
..........................................................................................
Cherie replied a little confused: "Jacques, I don't understand why my father sent me to the Kingdom of Holm, but I think he must be thinking about me, and the nun school there should have something suitable for me to study." You know, I don't have a knight's talent, and I was secretly evaluated by the knight teacher that unless I rely on potions, I will never be able to stimulate the blood power, and I have no ability to do business, and I once tried to run our family's bank like Miss Ferrona, the daughter of Baron Moncarlo, but I lost a lot of money, which made my brother dissatisfied. ”
"I can't learn anything except like to read, whether it's music, opera, oil painting, sculpture, so I can even get Jacques your love, you are so handsome, so versatile, good at piano, painting, singing, swordsmanship...... It's like the shining sun. Cherie seemed to be caressing Jacques's face.
The sound of a kiss sounded, as if Jacques grabbed Cherry's hand and kissed it, and he said infatuatedly: "That time I followed Lord Gaspar to the villa of Lord Viscount, and saw you reading quietly on the terrace, I fell in love with you deeply, your beauty and temperament are like roses under the moon, so quiet and so beautiful." You don't need to do anything, just marry me and enjoy your life well. ”
"But, Jacques, you ...... You're not really a knight yet. Cherie sadly replied that nobles must marry nobles, "and I always think, as a whole life, as a fortunate one who is favored by the Lord." Whether it is a man or a woman, you must have the ability to survive without relying on others. There is a place that reflects the value of my life, so I have to try to find what I am good at, this is my little insistence, I hope Jacques you can understand. ”
Jacques said with some frustration, "Chery." I understand your choice, but what new things can be learned in the nuns of the Kingdom of Holm? and I know very well that the only way to do this is to stimulate the power of the veins. Become a noble knight to truly own you. For this, I am never afraid, I am never worried, I will work hard, I will fight, but I am afraid that when I stimulate the blood force. You're married to someone else. Wait, Cherry, Lord Viscount asked you to study in the Kingdom of Holm, is it looking for an opportunity for you to marry the nobles over there?!"
This had a certain effect on Viscount Wright's consolidation of relations in the Kingdom of Holm, and for the church to win over the conservative nobles of the opposite country. So when Jacques thought about it, he felt more and more that this was the case, and his voice sounded full of pain and despair to Lucian: "Is it true, Chery?
"I don't know the way, I really don't know the way...... Father he never said......" Cherie muttered to herself in confusion, like a dream in the ups and downs of the sailboat, without the slightest confidence.
Jacques punched the wooden boxes so hard that he almost caused a row of wooden boxes to fall back and hit Lucien in the face, and he said with a little hope in despair: "Chery, can you wait for me?" I know that Lord and Mrs. Viscount have always doted on you, and you love them very much, and you will not do anything to disappoint them completely, but can you wait for me for three years? If I haven't been able to stimulate my blood strength for three years, it means that I am not worthy, and I can only love you secretly. ”
Cherie was moved by Jacques's confession, as if nodding vigorously: "I will, within three years, I will wait for you." And after three years, as long as you don't dislike it, I'm willing to be your eternal lover. ”
Jacques hugged Chery: "Cheley, what are you doing for Chery......
Annick, who was listening with relish, suddenly found that his ears were covered by a pair of hands, so he turned his head sideways and looked at Mr. Evans strangely, could they be talking about something secret that he should not have heard.
After a conversation that lingered so much that Lucien wanted to vomit, Cherie leaned on Jacques's shoulder: "Jacques, find a chance to play 'Dedicated to Sylvia' for me, okay? ”
Lucien thought a little embarrassed: "Sylvia has been killed by Natasha, will playing this piano piece taste a bit of a curse...... Of course, there are no more than twenty people who know about Sylvia.
"Okay, as long as you want, I'm willing to do it at any time. Jacques replied softly, and the two of them stole back to the upper cabin.
Lucien waited for a moment before letting go of the hand covering Annick's ear: "Let's go back to the cabin, the storm and waves are so big, maybe someone will come down to check if the cargo is damaged." ”
"Yes, Mr. Evans. Annick replied respectfully, then curiously, "What did you just cover my ears for?" ”
"I'm afraid their love words will destroy your immature heart. Lucien replied with a serious face, "Even I almost couldn't resist, as if I had been struck by lightning." ”
Annick thought for a moment, "But the love story I heard earlier is far worse than the dialogue of the opera." ”
"That's why I hate opera......" Lucien said with a blank face.
............
Back in the cabin, Lucien did not lie down in the hammock to rest or meditate, but stood there, quietly listening to the dull sound of the waves crashing against the sailing ship's magic array, listening to the rumbling thunder roar.
"Today's storm was much bigger than the previous day, and the thunder was so dense that it was heart-wrenching. ”
As a magician of the astrological system, although the "main planet of fate" and astrology cannot bring more accurate predictions, they can already occasionally give Lucian a vague premonition.
"Could it be that this sailboat will be destroyed by this terrible storm?" Lucien couldn't help but think about the worst, but at this time under the storm, there was no way to use the rudimentary astrology, so he could only be vigilantly guarded, "I hope that the premonition is wrong, and I have been wrong several times before......"
As soon as the thought in his heart fell, a terrifying thunder suddenly exploded, which shocked Lucian's heart and at the same time, the whole person felt weightless, as if he was about to fly in the narrow cabin.
"The sailboat was swept up by the waves?
Bang, a heavy thrashing sound was clearly transmitted from the magic array, and the feeling of stumbling and standing unsteadily became even more obvious.
"There is an enemy attack!" Lucien, who has a lot of combat experience and distress experience, could not judge that the sailboat was attacked by the enemy at this time.
The sound of thrashing was incessant, mixed with the crackling sound of lightning smashing into the magic array, so that all the apprentices noticed that something was wrong, no matter how weak they were after seasickness, they all gathered near the entrance of Lucian. At this time, Mr. Evans, the official magician, was the pillar of their hearts, and even Olmos, who seemed the most mature and quiet among them, had a worried expression at this time.
Lucien opened the door, pressed down with both hands, and signaled them to calm down: "No matter what the enemy is, it has nothing to do with us now, there are big knights, knights, priests and magic arrays on the sailing ship, they will be responsible for solving it, we just need to wait for ......" If even a big knight like Viscount Wright can't solve it, it is useless for himself and others to be in a hurry, and they can only hope that the "enemy" who attacked did not expect the appearance of a magician and could escape with the magic of magic.
Calm and peaceful, speaking unhurriedly, Lucien's attitude contagious to the apprentices, making them take a deep breath and slowly calm down.
Another heavy blow struck, and the sailboat swelled violently again, and the apprentices staggered outside the cabin, almost rolling on the ground, until they finally grabbed the door and waited for a foothold.
The sound of squeaking and rattling, making people's scalps tingle and teeth sour, came out clearly from the wooden planks of the cabin, Lucian's face changed slightly, and the magic array was about to be broken?
The idea just started, Lucien was suppressed by the storm and lightning to a small range of spiritual power is to sense a scorching heat rising outside, it is so surging and majestic, even thunder and lightning, torrential rain, and waves cannot cover it.
"I'm afraid it's a fifth-level divine art, and there is a bishop on the ship!"
Lucien had seen the Night's Watch Captain, the fifth-level bishop, attack from afar, and could probably judge the power of this blow. In such a storm, the use of divine magic and magic below the fourth or fifth level will not set off a single wave and send out the slightest fluctuation.
When the scorching divine magic fluctuations appeared, there were also sudden whistling and sharp wind sounds in the heavy rain and lightning, they were so condensed, so sharp, completely different from the surrounding storm.
"Viscount Wright has made a move. Lucien thought silently, a little more peaceful in his heart, a bishop and a great knight should be able to repel the attacking enemy, after all, if it is a high-level powerhouse, this sailing ship has sunk.
Viscount Wright's bloodline power "Tempest" is one of the symbols of Stewark City.
The whipped was gone, but the thunder and the crashing of the waves were continuous, and there seemed to be shouts of killing outside, faintly heard through the storm.
Suddenly, a huge wave far surpassing the previous one hit the ship's pillar, and the divine magic array, which was already on the verge of destruction, made a desperate shattering sound.
Immediately after, Lucien and the apprentices saw the wooden planks of the cabin made of ironwood at the other end of the walkway turn into countless splinters, and blue-black sea water mixed with white spray foam poured in.
In this sea water, there are monsters with fish heads and human bodies, their bodies covered in silver-gray scales, and their arms seem to be shrunk but they hold heavy tridents.
"The Kou Tao Fishmen, the Kou Tao Fishmen who have not converted to the Church, why are they attacking the fleet?!" Lucien, who had read the "Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures", recognized the types of these monsters at a glance, and the apprentices around him were all pale when they saw the hideous Kou Tao Fishmen.
Lucien himself felt a strong sense of danger:
"Fight these Kou Tao Fishmen, but wait, there will definitely be knights, priests, and sailors coming down to protect the goods, and if they find out, it will be a dead end!"
"Escape, there is a terrible storm outside, and I don't know what monsters are fighting the bishop and the high knight, and they will be buried in the sea at the slightest spillage. ”
"What should I do?!"
Lucien forced himself to calm down, and countless thoughts flashed through him, such a situation was the sorrow of the stowaway. (To be continued.) )
