Norman didn't know what Thomas's real purpose was, whether it was like Lancelot said, his real purpose was the unknown fourth logic, he only knew that the final result was that Hardy accepted Thomas's surrender terms.

Although Galle and Caron did not want to leave and fought to the end for their archbishop, they reluctantly left under Thomas's strict orders.

Duke Lake also ordered the heavily armed soldiers surrounding the square to loosen the two openings, drive away all the civilians in the square and the "elite soldiers of the Church of Liberty" among them, and strictly guard the surroundings to ensure that no more people from the Cult of Liberty would enter the vicinity of the Cathedral of Yabei.

The mages who had been flying in the sky for a long time were finally able to come down and rest, after all, the manpower was limited, but the griffin knights did not relax. The griffons have a much better stamina than the mages, so they still patrol the skies over the Cathedral of Abbe just in case.

The heavily armed soldiers were stationed outside the field, the Holy Cult Army withdrew and retreated into the church, and only the black-robed mages and red-robed mages who had come to the entrance exam with the students were left in the square, a total of only two or three hundred, so the Yabei Grand Square became as empty as before again.

Norman stood where he was, with no one around him.

Hold and Cuarón are gone, and Thomas, who has surrendered, follows Hardy into the church, leaving him alone.

Norman suddenly felt a sense of emptiness descending him, and his eyes were blank.

If it weren't for the fact that there were several sappers from the Lord's Mansion not far to the left who were cleaning up the bodies of the two Holy Cult soldiers who had died tragically, he would have wondered if he had had a dream.

And the evidence that let Norman know that he was not a dream was the black-robed mages: the black-robed mages finally relaxed, their students stopped crying, and everyone was still scattered as before, but unlike the scene where they had talked to each other happily before, everyone was watching him now.

Looking openly, with enthusiastic eyes, looking sideways, twisting the neck, looking at the ground in disguise with conversation, squatting on the ground while arranging the robe, and just now I collapsed on the ground in fright and didn't bother to get up and lie down to look......

With all kinds of fancy opinions, Norman once seemed to be incarnated into a rare dragon, and they were a little embarrassed to look at it.

Suddenly, their eyes were even more intense.

"Norman ......?"

A voice came from behind Norman.

Norman turned to see that Duke Lake was standing three or four paces behind him.

The Duke's beard was still so eye-catching, and the clothes painted with stars on his body were also eye-catching, and at this moment, the Duke was looking at him with a smile and a very gentle expression.

"Duke of Lake......

Norman was at a loss for a moment.

Although he had also come face to face with Duke Lake just now, they were dozens of steps away at that time, but now the two of them were close at hand, and he could even see the details of Duke Lake's beard missing a handful on the right side!

What is he going to do now?

Etiquette, yes, etiquette!

When getting along with nobles, etiquette is very important, especially for a nobleman with the most noble status and a long family history like Duke Lake, who must also attach more importance to etiquette.

"Good morning, good morning!"

Norman pressed one hand to his head in confusion, and the other behind his back - right?

Then he leaned over Duke Lake.

"Ryker, Lord Duke Ryker!"

This strange etiquette made Duke Lake stunned for a moment, and then he immediately smiled, touched his chest with his left hand, and bowed slightly to Norman.

"Good morning, Mr. Norman. ”

Duke Lake's smiling family appearance made Norman very comfortable, especially when Duke Lake actually bowed to him, which made Norman's head even more confused.

The native emperor of Barnes, now saluting the son of one of his farmers?

And not because Thomas is by his side?

Duke Lake was simply saluting him, Mr. Norman?

......

If Duke Lake's salute made Norman stunned, then Duke Lake's next move made Norman even more stunned.

"Thank you, Mr. Norman, for the wisdom and bravery of these valiant soldiers have kept them from dying here. ”

Duke Lake said slowly to Norman, his tone was soft, and the pronunciation of the lingua franca was extremely authentic and pleasant.

"As you said, you have saved countless families in Cárdenas, and I thank you on behalf of them. ”

Duke Lake said this, but did not salute again, but took two steps forward, came to Norman, stretched out his right hand and came behind Norman, leaned up, and Norman came face to face with a gentle salute, and then retreated back to the position just now, the footsteps are exactly the same, which perfectly reflects how precisely a man who has received the most rigorous aristocratic education since he was a child controls his etiquette and behavior.

"Oh......"

The black-robed mages felt as if another black spear had passed through them, and a low murmur rang out.

Norman was stunned, unable to believe what had just happened.

The Emperor of Barnes was thanking him, and he took the initiative to touch his chest with the farmer's son, you know, when he was in Ashley Village, it was a sin for a pariah like him to even touch Lord Barton, and he would be whipped severely, but now the Emperor of Barnes is taking the initiative to make physical contact with him......

At this moment, Norman heard the untimely voices of the mages in his heart.

"Together! Together!"

"Marry him, marry him, marry him!"

"Hahahaha, it's over, this grand duke can't take a fancy to the anchor. But that's fine, who isn't betraying the hue? It's not bad to hug the thigh of the Grand Duke, and it's just around the corner. And men and men have a different taste, the wonderful feeling of squeezing the prostate, who tries who knows. ”

"Mr. Tony, I'm looking for a styling with a lot of money! The lethality of your styling is too violent, both men and women kill it!"

"Don't make a fuss, this is obviously here to win people's hearts, okay?"

"Together! Together!"

......

The mages' words made Norman shudder when he heard it.

"That's—that's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Norman stammered slightly in response to Duke Lake's words.

Thankfully, because of the terrible words of these mages, he didn't stay forever.

Duke Lake nodded, still smiling, "I wish you a good score in the next exam, I believe it will be an easy task for you......"

Whether it is etiquette or language, Duke Lake has chosen to be very measured, that is, he will not be rusty, nor will he be overly warm, which makes Norman feel very comfortable, and also makes Norman gradually relaxed, and can chat smoothly with Duke Lake, and no longer stammers when he speaks, but his face is gradually red.

Not because of shyness, but because of excitement.

He's talking and laughing with Barnes' Emperor now! How many people in the whole Barnes can do it? This is Duke Lake, and Lord Barton is afraid that he won't be allowed to lick his feet, but now he is talking to him cordially. And Duke Lake has always admired him, a picture of admiring him very much, without the arrogance of a big man......

He's probably really a Norman now.

The eyes of the black-robed mages have been hanging here from beginning to end, especially Justin's gaze.

He was staring at this side.

These glories should have been his! If Norman hadn't popped up, Duke Lake would have had a cordial conversation with him, the Light of Cardenas! This would have been a moment that would have been written into the history of his Comm family, but now it was all stolen by Norman!

But he forgot that even the things that had helped him get all the glory were given to him by Norman.

And at this moment, in the south transept of the Yabei Cathedral

"Hardy Priest, you're ...... like this"

Gustav followed Hardy closely, seated on one side of the long table, and on the other side sat Thomas.

The archbishop sat there for a long time, without shackles or magical confinement.

That's what makes Gustav so nervous.

"We should imprison his sea of magic!"

Gustav whispered to Hardy.

The south transept was large, but the long table was not large, and Gustav's voice was easily heard by Thomas.

Thomas agrees with Gustav.

"To be on the safe side, you should imprison my sea of magic, Hardy. ”

Hardy's face was not moved in the slightest, but he just looked at Thomas for a long time before saying, "No need." ”

"Because you can't cast any spells, Father. ”
