Chapter 38: The Forgotten Street

The breeze blew, wrinkling a pool of water in the courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nafi sat quietly on the stone chair, his mind as if he was caught in a memory.

"The first time I saw her was at home, she was a maid recruited by her father, and she liked to call me young master. Slowly, I found myself as if I had fallen in love with this innocent girl. ”

"And where did she go?" Hathaway couldn't help but say.

"Gone, far away, and all because of..." Nafi's expression suddenly darkened, "Gudilark! When I went to the Black Forest, this demon clone sneaked out, and I will never forget that day." ”

Hathaway looked at Nafi's clenched fists silently, this man was now hideous, but only for a soft bowel in his heart.

"She died to save me, and since then I have numbed myself with alcohol and squandered it until I met you. Nafi said everything quietly, and it seemed that he had really let everything go.

"Hathaway, I'm sorry that I pestered you so much before, and I thought you were Leah. But it wasn't until the day I was in the Scholars Guild that I realized that you could never be Leah. No one is a substitute for another person, and no one can replace Leah. ”

"I...

"I'm so sorry!" Nafi stood up and bowed, "I've figured it out, I hope you can forgive me and we can still be friends, aren't we?"

Before he could finish speaking, Nafi stretched out his hand and smiled faintly. Hathaway's heart rejoiced for no reason, and she held the hand.

"Well, we'll be friends from now on. ”

"Yes!"

In the small courtyard, accompanied by the breeze, the fallen leaves whisper, a man and a woman stand, the estrangement is gone, but something else sprouts.

・・・・・・

Lyle Magis College.

Today is the day of the full opening of Lyermagis Academy, and all the admitted colleges are happily entering it, and they are dragging heavy salutes and their faces are full of youthful smiles, adding new vitality to this ancient college.

In the crowd, Tashi stood out because he came empty-handed.

"Ike, have you decided to go to that department?" asked Tashi.

Among the people, Dante, Artety, and Aragorn were reported to the Warrior Academy, and the rest except Ellie were all in the Academy of Magic.

Early in the morning, Hathaway accompanied Ellie to the Alchemy Academy, where the process was more troublesome, and the two girls also took care of each other.

Cassie has something to settle down, and the only thing left is Tashi's chatter to accompany Ike.

"Not yet. Ike shook his head.

Tashi himself has volcanic magma roots and is a fire magician, so he was naturally assigned to the fire type. But Ike is a scholar who is both arcane and thunder, so it's really hard to choose.

"But Dean Hercules gave me a piece of paper with the address on it. Ike pulled out a blank piece of paper and said.

"Let me see. Tashi looked down.

"Elm District, Forgotten Street. ”

"Is this also at Lyle Magis Academy? Why haven't I heard of it?" asked Ike curiously.

However, when he looked up, he found Tashi stunned, silent.

"What's wrong?

"Ahh

"Hey, Ike, Dean Hercules has a problem for you. Tashi sighed.

"Problem?" Ike was confused.

"In the past, Lyremagis Academy was one of the four great academies of the Gama Empire, but one incident caused its decline, have you heard?" Tashi said as he walked.

"I know, is it the Lembest incident?" Ike rubbed his temples, some information coming to mind.

Lembest Ballack is known as the most talented man in the history of Lyremagis. Once, countless people thought that he would lead Lyermagis to even greater glory. In fact, he also did it at the Garma Imperial Academy Festival, which was amazing, and was called the "Eagle of the Empire" by the King of the Empire.

But in the second round of lair sanctions, a terrible thing happened - the lair riot!

Lembest's lover was confirmed to be a demon spy, and although Lembest did not betray the Gama Empire, he had already let his lover go at the cost of his life.

At this point, Lyle Magis was implicated, and with it, an event called the "September Reform" occurred, which dismissed a large number of old teachers and started a new way of teaching.

"Yes, the Street of Oblivion used to be called Street Albeni, but when it was renovated in September, it became the Street of the Forgotten. Tashi suddenly stopped and stared at Ike.

"You mean the old teachers who have been fired," Ike guessed.

"That's right, they have taught countless talents for the academy, how can the academy really dismiss them? ”

"Some people say that they are a group of people who live in memories. ”

Ake was silent, he raised his head and looked at the branches and green leaves of the trees at the top, and said slowly, "What did Dean Hercules ask me to do there?"

"Let's continue the tradition. Tashi casually sat on a wooden chair on the side of the road, "The tradition of Lyle Magis is being lost, Dean Hercules said, of course, the final decision is yours, no one can interfere." ”

"I want to check it out. "Since I'm already a member of Lyle Magis, it's my responsibility to make it even more brilliant, and I'm willing to learn about his past." ”

"I knew it, so come with me. Tashi grinned, tears glinting in the corners of his eyes.

"Tashi, you..."

"Lembest is my uncle, and I, like him, fell in love with someone I shouldn't love. Tashi's voice was choked, and his face was filled with endless sadness.

Ike froze, reaching out and patting Tashi on the shoulder to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Whewβ€”all right, don't talk about those things, come with me. Tashi waved his hand and led Ike down a secluded path.

The tree-lined path is old, the patterns on the ground have long been worn away by time, and the moss on the surrounding walls tells the weight of history. The further inside, the grass became more and more chaotic, and there was a desolation and depression on the pavement, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of the entire academy.

Tashi was right, this is a forgotten place, a forgotten street in Lyremagis.

Syllable!

Not far away, outside the complex, there was an old wooden box that emitted a sour smell, on which sat an old man.

He was wrinkled like tree bark, dotted with dark spots, his gray hair was scattered, and he held a polished cigarette stick in his hand, and the smoke rose.

Whew-poof--

Ahem-

The old man coughed lightly in the mist, his cloudy eyes were gloomy, and his wrist stiffly poured out the residue in the smoke pot.

Tashi sighed and stepped forward.

"Grandpa Hans. ”

"Do you know this is the place, get out of here, give me..." The old man looked up suddenly, his body trembling with anger, but when he saw Tashi, he was stunned, his hand shook, and the cigarette stick fell to the ground.

"Have you forgotten me? Tashi squirmed his lips, "It's me Tashi, the little imp of the Baraks, the nasty little imp who always likes to steal your cigarette sticks." ”

"Like, too much! Lembest!" the old man's eyes turned red, and he finally collapsed. "Tashi, you've grown up again. ”

Tashi leaned down and picked up the cigarette stick, "Grandpa Hans, are you guarding the street again today?"

"Hmph, this is the last land of Lyer Magis, if I don't guard it, who will guard it?" the old man said coldly.

"Why do you do this?" Tashi persuaded him.

"Little Tashi, this is not your business. Hans clenched his cigarette stick as he spotted Ike standing not far away. "Who is this little one? Little Tashi, didn't I tell you? You can't bring anyone else here? Have you forgotten?"

The questioning, constantly raised voice made Tashi shake his head, "Grandpa Hans, I never forgot that he was called by Dean Hercule. ”

"Don't mention that man to me!" Hans's eyes were bloodshot like an angry lion, "He's a traitor!

Tashi was silent when he heard this, he understood the matter between Herculi and Hans, but he couldn't solve it. This is a factional struggle over ideas, a struggle that must be fought at the cost of blood and lives.

"Hans!

Suddenly, a loud and deep voice came from a wooden house.

Squeak!

The wooden door was pushed open, revealing an old man in a gray robe, his face was ruddy, and he looked full of energy, but his long hair was pure white as snow.

"Juan, am I wrong about what I said? He's our student! and he's thrown into the reformers! It's a betrayal!" said Hans Cowbeck, brandishing his cigarette stick, gritting his teeth.

"Everyone has their own insistence, just as we still cling to tradition, maybe you don't agree with his philosophy, but you still need to respect!" said Juan Sicily.

"Whatever you want, I'll go first. Hans shook his head and walked away without saying a word, the figure of Xiao Suo was so lonely and so stubborn.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh. Juan smiled lightly, "Hans, that's his bad temper." ”

"Grandpa Juan, I won't mind. Tashi shook his head.

"Oh, it's Tashi, you haven't been here for a long time. Juan stepped forward and said gently.

"yes, I've been so busy lately. ”

"Looks like you're already a student of Lyle Magis. Juan looked at the badge on Tashi's coat and was stunned.

Tashi caressed the school emblem, he understood that this was the softest place in the hearts of this group of old people.

"Grandpa Juan, I'm bringing him to see you today. Tashi beckoned to Ike.

"Him?"

"Hello, my name is Ike Hugo, and I am a freshman in Lylemagis's class, and I was introduced by Dean Hercules. Ike looked polite and bowed.

"Hercule, you!" Juan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Ike's wrist.

Ike frowned slightly, and suddenly felt an irresistible force burrow into his body.

"How so?" said Juan.

"Is there a problem?" Tashi touched his head.

"Forget it, let's receive it in person. Juan muttered to himself.

"Grandpa Juan..."

"Alright, Tashi, you just wait here, I'll take him to St. Kyle. Juan stopped Tashi's words, and his body suddenly turned into a gust of wind, while Ike beside him felt a huge force enveloping him, and his ears were filled with a violent wind.

Tashi, who was left alone, pinched his nose, "It's still the same, some are waiting." ”

Whew――――

The wind was roaring, and the golden glow of the red sun seemed to fall into this ancient street for the first time, dispelling the gloom.
