"Since you came to the capital, Xu Mu, you have also become much more cheerful, unlike before, you are always lifeless. ”

Xu Mu and Ai Lu stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside, Ai Lu was originally a girl who liked to remember, looking at the scenery outside, she couldn't help but recall the changes between the past and the present.

"Is there any?" Xu Mu didn't change much.

"You're busy every day, of course you don't feel it. Ai Lu smiled and gently held Xu Mu's hand: "Although you had a good relationship with us before, you will still choose not to speak if you can not speak." But after arriving in the capital, it seems that you are much more relieved, and even take the initiative to chat with us from time to time, which is rare. ”

Xu Mu thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case, and he was indeed a lot more relieved after coming to the capital: "Maybe it has something to do with the goal." When I came out of the town where I met you, my first thought was to find a place in the middle of nowhere, get an ID, and then get a job to live well. I didn't expect to meet you, we ran around for nearly half a year, and a lot of things happened during this period, no matter what, my spirit has never slackened... When I came to the kingdom of Heaney, the study of magic has also come to fruition, and Sleta's wish has come true, and you haven't left me... Maybe that's why I'm starting to change a bit. ”

Ai Lu covered his mouth and snickered: "You are always like this. ”

"What?"

"No, it feels like you're amazing. Ai Lu leaned his head on Xu Mude's shoulder, "You can always sketch out many things in your mind just by relying on a few details, even if it doesn't happen, it doesn't matter, it seems that you can summarize your own thoughts." Obviously, I just sighed casually, and you can explain to me the cause and effect of your change, um... It's really amazing. ”

Xu Mu thought that he was thick-skinned enough, but when he heard Ai Lu praise himself like this, he couldn't help but blush, but fortunately, in the dim dining room, Ai Lu couldn't see clearly, it didn't matter.

The two leaned on each other like this, chatting about their adventures a few months ago, and under the light of the candles, the two looked very warm.

What is love? love is desire, love is protection, love is dedication...

Five days later, Xu Mu finally ushered in the magic awakening ceremony that he had been dreaming about.

During these five days, he also did not go to the court to study the messy course arranged for him by the queen, that is, to practice swords with Beres at home every day.

Although it has only been five days, Xu Mu's swordsmanship has also improved a lot, and the muscles of his hands have become stronger, in the words of Beres, even if Xu Mu now goes to the guild to challenge the swordsmanship of professional hunters, it is estimated that he will not lag too far behind.

Sleta went to the court every day to learn aristocratic etiquette without stopping, but she was no longer as excited as before, listening to Ai Lu and Xu Mu who accompanied her, sometimes Sleta would secretly watch the deputy of the ceremonial officer grinning his teeth, as if he wanted to eat others.

Xu Mu still has a wait-and-see attitude towards this, it's not that he didn't notice Sresta's abnormality, but that he has always felt that people with a weird temper can better protect themselves in this world.

Originally, Xu Mu was not a normal person, and naturally he would not think about raising Sreta to be like an ordinary child.

As long as Sleta doesn't kill people and set fires and do all kinds of evil in the future, then he can still accept it.

Besides, no matter how bad Sreta is, can he be as bad as his brother?

As an elder brother, he is the big bad guy who has killed people and set fire to evil, and it's so strange to have a little villain sister.

Ailu wanted to discipline Sresta, but she didn't know where to start, and she had no experience, so she naturally hoped that Sreta could have a happy childhood, instead of letting her fall into the ideological struggle of her own dark world, thinking about things and suspicious all day long.

For this reason, Ailu is very worried about what will happen to Sreta alone after they leave the capital to go to the magic academy.

The Magic Awakening Ritual is held secretly.

said that it was a ceremony, but in fact, it was close to evening, and the two slaves hurriedly came over to invite Xu Mu to the temple of the palace.

Ai Lu is also an insider, so he set off with Xu Mu.

The Heanie Court Sanctuary was located in the most corner of the court, and the servants who sent them did not even dare to enter the temple area.

If you say that you are a dirty person, you will be punished by the gods for entering the temple area.

Xu Mu and Ai Lu stepped closer to the temple.

The temple was empty, and there was no one except for the candles.

Xu Mu and Ai Lu didn't think anything about it, after all, Xu Mu wanted to awaken the seven-system magic, Xenia definitely didn't want people to know, and it was normal for no one to know.

The temple gate stood tall, two stories high, and on the door were two little girls with wings, one holding a bottle of water and the other holding a book.

Pushing open the heavy door, a blinding light revealed inside.

Xu Mu Ailu didn't expect it to be so bright inside, and it was not easy to get used to it before she saw a girl standing on the front counter.

The girl was dressed in a snow-white sacrificial dress, holding a staff in her left hand, and with a smile on her face, anyone who looked at her would find the girl very kind.

"It's Lord Xu Mu and Miss Ai Lu, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

The sound is like a bird's cry from the distant mountains, which makes people's hearts pure and clear, and they can't even give birth to a trace of disgust.

"I am the Holy Daughter of the Temple, in charge of all things in the Temple. ”

Xu Mu and Ai Lu came to the saint, looked at the kind face in front of them, and the two of them saluted.

Ai Lu was extremely interested in the Holy Maiden, and raised his eyes from time to time to look at it a few more times.

"Come with me, Her Majesty is waiting for you. ”

Without further ado, the three of them went around the temple church and turned left and right to a more spacious room.

In the center of the room, there is a black and cyan stone the size of a tennis court, and if you look closely, there is still a little starlight on it, and there is a magic array on the black and blue stone!

Xu Mu narrowed his eyes, it seemed that this was the so-called magic awakening stone.

And Xenia was wearing a black robe and hood, and the sword and staff she carried with her were not on her body, so she probably sneaked here.

"You're too slow. Xenia heard the sound and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xu Mu coming.

"Those two servants have been turning left and right to lead the way, and I want to be quick. Xu Mu didn't care about the return.

The saint couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Xu Mu's words, it was the first time she had seen someone talk to the queen like this.

Ai Lu didn't dare to be as rude as Xu Mu, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

And Xu Mu also awkwardly saluted the nobleman who could barely see it.

Xenia was obviously dissatisfied, but she didn't want to teach her any more lessons: "The Temple Saint Maiden has been my playmate since I was a child, and she is also my confidant, and she will not tell me about today's events. ”

The saint seemed to have a good relationship with Xenia, and she smiled softly: "Xenia, what are you asking people to arrange for the temple to be closed tonight?"

"It's for the man in front of you. You should also know that he is my Knight Captain. ”

"Lord Xu Mu is quite famous among officials, of course I know. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just for you to secretly activate the Awakening Stone and let my knight captain awaken a magical adaptability. Of course, you must not say that. ”

"It's certainly not a problem. The holy woman blinked her eyes cutely and looked at Xu Mu carefully: "Lord Xu Mu, you come forward." ”

Xu Mu stepped forward very obediently, and he was finally able to awaken magically, and he was more excited than anyone else.

Suddenly, the saint lifted the sacrificial clothes, and with a flick of her hand, water was sprinkled on Xu Mu's face.

The water was a little sticky, but then it felt very refreshing.

Xu Mu was a little confused, looking at the holy woman in front of him, what was this going to do?

Ai Lu knew that Xu Mu didn't understand, and explained with a smile: "This is a blessing from sprinkling water, which is very common in the Hini Temple. You should feel lucky, but few people have blessed the saints. ”

Xu Mu looked strange: "This water tastes weird..."

Xenia is good-natured: "Be polite to the Holy Maiden, don't provoke her." If you dare to speak ill of the Holy Maiden outside, the people of Heane will be able to boil you, and I will not be able to save you then. ”

Xu Mu reacted at this time, it turned out that the saint who was smiling kindly in front of her turned out to be the existence of the belief of the people of Heaney, which seemed to be no different from the pope in the West, right?

"Master Xu Mu, come later. The saint didn't say much, and led Xu Mu to the Awakening Stone with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the saint was still a factist, Xu Mu liked the saint's style of doing things that didn't like BB.

Xu Mu stood on the Awakening Stone Magic Array, and the Holy Maiden smiled and comforted Xu Mu, telling him not to be too nervous, and then went down.

"Xenia, what kind of magic is this awakening?" asked Xenia under the Awakening Stone.

Xenia said with some smugness: "All of the seven systems." ”

The saint was stunned, she glanced back at Ai Lu, and asked uncertainly, "Two people awaken the seventh line?"

The saint thought that the magic awakened by Xu Mu and Ai Lu together was seven systems, although this was incredible, but there were not no innate three magic adaptors in the Kingdom of Heaney, although she was a little surprised, but it was still within the range of the saint's acceptance.

"It's not. It's my knight captain, who awakens the Seven Lines alone. ”

The saint was completely stunned, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Xenia, you won't tease me, will you?"

"When have I lied to you since I was a child. Xenia glanced at the saint angrily, "If it was an ordinary awakening magic ceremony, I would be so cautious? You don't want to think about why I have to carry so much pressure and want Xu Mu to be my knight captain." ”

"I didn't understand it before, after all, it's not always a good thing for you to disagree with the officials... If what you said is true, then no wonder you have to do this..."The holy maiden looked at Xu Mu seriously, Xu Mu was standing on the magic array of the Awakening Stone with an interested expression, and seemed to be ready to awaken at any time.

"Hurry up... The nights are long and dreamy, and it took me a lot of effort to prepare for tonight's awakening ceremony. ”

"Is it true that a person has awakened the seven systems congenitally..."The saint's thoughts drifted a little away, "There has never been anyone in this world who has been able to adapt to the seven systems of magic congenitally..."

Although she was sighing, the saint's movements were not slow.

I saw her lift her staff and wave it in the air, and after a while, a crystal white light swirled around the black-cyan awakening stone.

"Great God, listen to my will, and grant infinite magic to this sincere man in front of him. Do you hear my prayers? God of scorching flames, Lord of the cool seas, ...... of light."
