Chapter 36: What is Love?

"So... Your Majesty, do you want Xu Mu to him..."

"Yes. Xu Mu adapts to the seven systems of magic, and his innate bloodline is no worse than that of the children of the Betty family, but if he wants to choose a spouse for Xu Mu in the Henni Kingdom, the Betty family is undoubtedly the most suitable person. And... Maybe the children born of Xu Mu and Bei Ti's family will re-emerge a new family. Xenia's eyes narrowed slightly, and her face showed cruelty: "And this new family will definitely become the sharpest blade in my hand." I believe in Xu Mu's allegiance, so I also believe in Xu Mu's family's followers in the future... The children born to Xu Mu and the people of the Bei Ti family, not to mention maintaining Xu Mu's seven lines, even if it is six or five lines!

Ai Lu lowered her head, she didn't say anything, her hands were clenched, and she seemed extremely unwilling.

Xenia turned around and saw Ai Lu's appearance, she knew why Ai Lu was like this: "Your feelings for Xu Mu were clear to me when I first met you in the palace. We are all women, and I can naturally understand the feelings in your eyes. But... Ai Lu, you have to understand, if you remember correctly, you are an innate unilineal magic, if you and Xu Mu have a future, if the bloodline of the child born is affected, won't you blame yourself?"

The word self-blame slammed into Ai Lu's chest, and the fists that were originally clenched with both hands couldn't help but let go.

"Don't blame me for being ugly and direct. Your magic ability is average, and you may not be able to help Xu Mu by your side. You should also know that Xu Mu's future development should not be underestimated, if there are no accidents, he will definitely shine in the world! His magical ability must be the most outstanding in the world! He will be famous all over the world on behalf of the Heane Kingdom!"

"Her Majesty... Ailu knows. ”

"Ailu, you actually understand. Maybe you can really help Xu Mu by his side in the past, but now it's different. If you are by Xu Mu's side now, it will only affect him, or rather, it will only drag him back, and you have no way to break free from this predicament. Xenia shook her head, "Unless you are willing to be a vase by Xu Mu's side, drag him down, and trouble him." ”

Ai Lu raised his head, his eyes were red but not crying, his eyes were painful but extremely strong: "I know, Your Majesty." It's up to you..."

Seeing Ailu like this, Xenia also felt a little uncomfortable and guilty in her heart, and she sighed: "I owe you this matter, and I will compensate you elsewhere." If you don't mind, when you come back from the Academy of Magic, I'll grant you a title of nobility and a fief... And at that time, you can also move out of Xu Mu's house naturally. ”

Ai Lu smiled bitterly: "Even how I leave Xu Mu's side, Her Majesty has already thought about it?"

Xenia didn't reply, and was silent for a while before she said apologetically: "Ailu, I'm sorry for you." But I am the king, and I can't help myself. I don't expect you to be considerate of me, nor do I ask you to stand in my place and think for me. You can hate me, you can blame me, but I still want to say that it's better for you to leave Xu Mu's side. There is a girl in Bettina's family who is still old, named Betina, and it just so happens that she has gone to the Academy of Magic to study last year, and this time I am going to let Xu Mu know her. ”

"Your Majesty, you can arrange it... Ailu was unwell, so he retired first. With that, he left the temple, leaving Xenia in a daze as he stared at the sad figure of Eloh leaving.

Xenia muttered alone, "Did I do anything wrong..."

...

Basically, every nobleman in the Heaney Kingdom is a saint to carve the magic seal, after all, the nobles have to be treated specially.

The saint thought that she had seen so many so-called magic geniuses, but it was the first time she had seen someone who was innate and adapted to the seven systems of magic.

So the saint and Xu Mu had more topics to talk about, and they wanted to know what the difference between Xu Mu and others would be.

And the saint's attainment of magical knowledge is no worse than that of the tutor of the magic academy, Xu Mu raised all the questions in his heart, after all, there are some magic questions, and it is not Ai Lu who can help answer them.

Obviously he had never studied magic, but Xu Mu had a lot of speculations and assumptions about magic, and the saint felt interesting about it.

In this way, the two chatted inadvertently for a long time, until Xu Mu reacted, and then remembered that there were still people waiting for them outside.

When they came out, they found that Xenia and Ayru were no longer in the temple, and Xenia left a note saying that she and Aerlu had returned.

Xu Mu didn't think much about it, and after saluting and thanking the saint, he also left in a hurry.

When he returned home, he was in great pain in his room.

There are two situations in which people can clearly understand themselves, one is when they want to work hard, and the other is when they dare not work hard.

Ai Lu initially wanted to work hard, because she really wanted to be able to help Xu Mu, and she wanted to stand by Xu Mu's side calmly with her own ability.

But Xu Mu's progress and Xu Mu's potential are all throwing her far behind, and she is chasing hard behind, but she finds that she can't catch up, and it seems that she can only pray that Xu Mu will stop and look back at herself.

And now, Ailu didn't dare to work hard.

Xu Mu has a better choice, as Xenia said, Xu Mu is destined to be famous all over the world if nothing else. And she Ai Lu is just a declining aristocratic girl, in addition to being gentle and kind, except for knowing some beginner and intermediate magic, in addition to her own feelings... Actually, nothing.

She doesn't have excellent swordsmanship like Beres to protect the people around her, and she doesn't have a sensitive mind to make small calculations like Sresta, she is just an ordinary girl.

On Ai Lu's birthday a few days ago, Xu Mu smashed all the grievances and uneasiness in her heart, but now these shattered remnants were mixed together again, like a hard stone, stuck in her heart.

Ailu sat on the carpet, leaning against the edge of the bed, with her head buried in her knees.

She tried to comfort herself, wanted to be strong, wanted to cheer herself up.

"Half a year ago, I didn't have anything, but now I'm just back to the beginning..."

Ailu didn't know, this was actually a very bad kind of self-comfort.

After all, whether it is the time spent or the feelings invested in the past six months, it is actually difficult to relieve it with a sentence of 'back to the beginning'.

Ailu comforted herself, but tears quietly fell, and she thought that if she had died in the fiefdom four months ago... In this way, Xu Mu will not be embarrassed, he can listen to Queen Heaney's words and choose a more suitable spouse for her.

Any choice has its corresponding chips, and being willing to gamble and lose is also a quality that an adult should have.

Ai Lu felt that she chose to come with Xu Mu, and she guessed that she might 'lose'... But when it came time to get out, she was at a loss.

Not reconciled... I'm really unwilling...

Why am I leaving...

At this moment, Ailu woke up, and she remembered the thing again.

Ailu hurriedly picked up the pillow on the bed and quickly took out the dark magic book from it.

She held the roaring beast in her hand, and gently stroked it with her hand over the ebony texture of the book.

If I knew the dark arts...

Ai Lu knows very well that now she wants to catch up with Xu Mu's footsteps with her own strength, and there is no doubt that she is like climbing to the sky.

But does she really want to learn the dark arts?

In the concept of black magic in this world, it is dirty, it is filthy, and anyone who uses black magic deserves to go to hell!

The Magic Academy of the Kingdom of Kailie had told the students this, and Ailu had memorized these words in his mind at that time.

I can't learn it! If I learn black magic, then Xu Mu won't like me... I'm going to get dirty... I will be excluded from the world...

Just as Aru took a deep breath and was about to stuff the dark magic books back into his pillow again, the words that Xenia had said suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Your magic ability is average, and you may not be able to help Xu Mu by your side. ”

"You are by Xu Mu's side now, it will only affect him, or drag him back, and you have no way to break free from this predicament. ”

"Unless you are willing to be a vase by Xu Mu's side, drag him down and trouble him. ”

Ailu's eyes gradually cleared up from numbness.

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

Finally, the Book of Dark Magic was in Ailu's hands, turning its first side.

After a hundred years, the book of black magic has never been turned a page, and this time it is facing the world again.

When Ailu opened it, she felt that her mind had never been so clear, and her goal was firm at this moment.

"Even if Xu Mu didn't choose me in the end, I had to leave Xu Mu in the end... Xu Mu once said that black magic is dangerous and dark, but it depends on who uses it. I, I, I, swear that the dark magic I have learned will only be used when necessary, and will never harm the lives of others!"

......

When Xu Mu returned home, he learned that Ai Lu had gone back to the room to rest, and he wanted to wake up Ai Lu and share his joy with her, but it was all this time, and he would have the smell of night raids when he went to Ai Lu's room again.

After thinking about it, Xu Mu still went back to the room by himself, after all, he also had something to do now.

That's experimental magic!

Xu Mu is like a child now, he has got the toys he has been thinking about for a long time, so of course he has to play hard.

Back in the bedroom, sitting cross-legged on the bed, he closed his eyes and tried to make contact with the seven magic seals in his body.

Not long after, a seven-colored magic mark began to appear around Xu Mu, and the seven-colored magic mark began to revolve around Xu Mu.

Feeling the changes outside, Xu Mu opened his eyes and looked at the seven-colored magic mark in front of him, and couldn't help laughing.

The energy of the seven magic seals is not as big as when it was first portrayed, but it feels that the energy is a little weak, they seem to be like newborn children, who were obedient just now lined up to circle around Xu Mu, and suddenly now they are out of order.

The magic seals were no longer neat, and began to stagger, running around like naughty children, although they couldn't get away from Xu Mu's surroundings, they were like children who loved to play and make trouble.

Xu Mu tried to get in touch with them, but the feedback he got was that there was no feedback...

These seven bear children didn't even pay attention to him!

Xu Mu was angry, but he was crazy in his heart and comforted himself.

Your own magic seal, your own magic seal... Let's pet it more.
